The Apothecary Diaries (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto) 8 (Hero Bunko) [Light Novel]

[Machine Translation] When Yao Yao became ill from the poison and was able to return to work at the medical office, a large number of books arrived at Neko Neko. The sender was an eccentric military strategist named Rohan. It seems that he sent them to Neko Neko because he had made a large number of instructional books on the game of Go. Contrary to Neko Neko's idea of selling them off because she was not interested in the game, Rohan's books made Go popular in the palace. On the other hand, Jinji was extremely busy with his own busy schedule, and he also had to report the poisoning of the priestess of Sand Europe and the locust infestation. In the midst of all this, he learned that a Go tournament was being planned within the court, and he went to negotiate directly with Rohan. In exchange for providing the venue in his name, he persuades him to do the work he has been slacking off on.
