Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

Your response?

No, I'm not alright because there is no preteen grooming me right now.

I can't believe we're never seeing Xiaolan again.

I would have her executed for speaking to me out of line.

Impregnate her

whip out my cock and start wiggling it

Best green-haired girl

Fuck Maomao

Fuck Lihua

this one has the nip title and the title is bold. i choose it.

Sadly we're probably not going to get that scene.
They haven't been following the manga this season. I keep waiting for some of my favorite panels to be animated but they always get skipped.

boy what a nice morning to eat pigeons and bite weeaboos, I hope I don't bump into any disturbed anime gir-ACK!

why can't she just marry maomao that would solve everything

Maomao might be small but she can be quite feisty. She grew up in the pleasure district so that makes sense.

Thought this was her escape but maomao was just having a laugh

Your response?

I have no interest in female specimen with pedomorphic constitution. Your miniscule pelvis limits physical and intellectual capabilities of the potential offspring. My time is limited and I have have no time to spend it on raising degenerate children. Now go, find a fitting male with liliputan gene before your face decays any further, the liliputan phenotypes like you have short life as your biochemical clock is speed up like in a small animal.

At first I too thought she was going to use the snake as a weapon against their kidnappers, like "you are going to die within 1 hour if I don't make an antidote". She's lucky they didn't rape/beat the shit out of her

She's only forgiven as long as she gets her just deserts (a good dicking)

Maomao may be physically weak but she's gutsy and clever and knows how to keep her composure from her life experience at the pleasure district. She should not be underestimated.

OHOHOHOHO DESUNYA

a pragmatic villain sizing up the detective who's too close to the truth

cute!

shisui!?

aww

moshimoshi, hebi desu

she sees your snake

Family sends a minx to steal your seed to secure a line to the throne

Somehow you’re remembered as the villain

maomao is so violent

It's an important scene for the plot. They can't exactly skip it.

It's this your heroine?

what a cute maid

men only want one thing

maomao is missing right as gyokuyou is probably about to give birth

i sure hope luomen can handle this fine by himself

I'm confused about where this "plot" is going. I thought we were finally going to get into something serious with real stakes, but it just looks like more chill SoL whenever the focus shifts back to Maomao. It's like the author can't decide whether they want the series to be a comedy or a drama so we're getting something half-baked.

We will see Jinshi's being angry, it's in the next episode preview. However the piss part is probably going to be skipped.
I was looking forward to this part but they skipped it in today's episode.

first season: slice of life

second season: itz fugging habbening drama

third season: exploring Agartha with Maomao

I know chinese has no real kana but do they have nothing to mark pronunciations/readings? Like for a dictionary at least?

what are you, an illiterate pleb? who would want that

Maomao, I guess?

disgraceful. the classics are enough to master everything! listen to your shifu instead of whining.

So why did they kidnap Maomao again?

muh bugs

You'll see.

Why wouldn't them?

They just want to be her friends I guess.
They're even going to a festival together!

going to the festival with her pal. Also, maomao Knows.

I am going to fucking kill you

I'M STILL IN A DREAM SNAKE EATER

She eats ALL the snakes later on.

her hands are drawn to frogs and snakes

Phags-pa was somewhat widespread in the middle ages but it was never officially accepted, now they use the bopomofo system. Dictionaries are not sorted phonetically, I think it's the stroke count or some other very autistic chinktastic system

the previous emperor is just like me frfr except I don't have any outstanding talent nor was I born into privilege

I read that later (novel spoilers) Maomao and Jinshi sort of start dating, but Jinshi can't marry her and must become empereor. Maomao doesn't want Jinshi to become empereor and Jinshi doesn't want have Maomao as concubine. Things look pretty grim there. Possible going their own ways ending incoming. Why do josei relationships always get so messy?

Jesus this episode was slow going
They managed to stretch a whole lot of nothing happening in 24 minutes

So you like lolis?

i honestly can't think of a part that could be sped up. there was paced forward movement. just very flat with nothing resolving in any way.

you'd think a kidnapping episode wouldn't be this boring

no I'm afraid of women

i think we were going north

How can she know that from the cargo hold? Even if it was sunlight you need to at least know your initial bearing, and even then it's iffy. Did she eat a compass once?

What else they could do? Kill her? They know whose daughter she is. They probably know whose favourite toy she is. So only option is to somehow make her sympathize with your cause or use her as a bargaining chip.

If she knows what river she's on she can probably guess from how the both moves maybe and knowing maps.

She basically figured out their plot to assassinate royal family members so it's either kill her or whisk her away to somewhere she won't cause trouble.

He wakes up every day at the same place but he can't tell the north from south.

I guess it is another case of "can't imagine apple"

rivers almost universally flow southwards, going north would be the only direction you could distinguish because of the extra effort necessary.

So... why not just kill her?
You're already committed to killing royalty, what's one child from some random general?

Yeah Nile is a perfect example of that: flows from Upper Egypt to Lower Egypt.

probably because she's related to strategist and actually valuable.

Because she's Shisui's girlfriend

Shisex

Betray the emperor. They need to be put down like rabid animals.

yeah, the exceptions are notable. mostly they flow "down" to sea level but i guess coincidentally that tends towards south/west/east

Shisui is her friend and would be against it
Suirei probably respects her abilities and thinks it's a waste of her talents to kill her.

A human being speaks it words thus he should write in words aswell. If you don't know the words then you can't write. If you want to bark or growl or make other formless sounds do so but don't waste paper on that.

Yeah I just posted w/o really thinking about it. The only difficulty is knowing where the prow is and it shouldn't be too hard in a small ancient ship.

You remember that resurrection medicine that showed up previously? There's a very good reason why they would want help with it and wouldn't you know, they just got their hands on someone who'd be perfect for that.

I mean, if the series was set in ancient not!japan, instead of not!china, the paper would have most likely been in Kana even if they knew the kanji, unless the kanji was a massive clue, which kinda was now that I think about it.

Why does he have to become emperor? His old man croaking?

I got the impression their relationship has hit a dead end too. Jinshi was always the one making an effort to advance their relationship before but currently he's distancing himself so nothing's happening.

That's what he's there for.

yeah, he needs surgery in LN 15

Isn't the whole point of the chinese written language to have the same symbol for words even if they are pronounced differently? Mandarin and cantonese use the same characters and they mean the same thing but are pronounced differently.

It had to be like that because they're setting up a huge new scene for the future mystery. We're used to the palace setting, so nothing needs to be explained there, but this time, Maomao had to narrate a ton of shit for us, and it's gonna be important later (or at least it has to, but this series proved itself by this point).
Nah, fuck her, kidnapping Maomao like that and then brushing it off like they're going out on a picnic, no fucks given whatsoever. She's a bitch.

Ah-Duo and Loulan are both lesbians, is the Pure Consort a position for a lesbian, is that why its called Pure?

The emperor was sucking on those a few nights prior.

God I hope. "These foreign envoys are really weird this time, huh?"

How is Ah-Duo a lesbian? She just looks androgynous.

So question, Maomao obviously knows a good amount of technique/theory, enough to teach the concubines, but can she take it? She's still a virgin that can still be beaten by the cock, no?

Was worried they were gonna translate that differently

kusogaki

pretty accurate honestly

but can she take it?

chan.sankakucomplex.com/en/posts/wvael6l7YMz
yes, she can handle any frog

Lesbians are anything but pure though, they're the biggest degenerates out there

Still figured they would change it to some other softer wording

I despise all faggots, so I wonk on a straight until proven otherwise basis. Neither are lesbians.

Muh "beaten by the cock" is the biggest meme out there. Basic sex toys are better than dicks.

Basic sex toys are better than dicks.

this
dicks can't even vibrate

They're really not, just like pocket pussies aren't better than real pussies. They're cold and unfeeling.

Yes but it's a pure kind of degeneracy.

lmao, that frog pose

lesbians are 100% chaste

just wanted to know if Maomao could be fucked into submission. I didn't need to know about dudes on the Internet sticking toys in their butt comparin them to the real thing.

The search for the lost cat is a good arc. Finally some shit is going to come to light that needed to for a long time.

I feel personally attacked.

SHOULD NOT WANT

don't be gay

Anyway... Aren't this 2 supposed to be around the same age? What happened to Shenlu?!

MOTHER OF GOD

Anshi wasn't the first child that the emperor abused

Yeah but how he didn't seem that old, how long did he start to sleep with kids? 10 years?

A HUNDRED MEN
MAYBE MORE

She hit the wall

Rich + makeup vs. Poor + no makeup

>abused

conniving girl abuses guys mental health to groom and rape him

he's the bad guy

Is this storyline just a bunch of hags STILL seething about the pedo emperor even though he kicked a bucket fucking years ago by this point? Holy fuck, move on already, it feels like half of notChina wants to take a shit on his grave (and then burn down the palace) for doing what every other noble did back then.

There's still one more hag seething over him who hasn't shown up yet

Anshi raped the previous emperor, but she was also a victim of his pedophilia. No one is purely good or evil in this situation.

First cour they were just baiting the hetfags with Jinmao. It turns out Shimao is the real deal.

Say the previous Emperor starting sleeping with the children when he was 18 years old. Shenlu could have been one of the first.
Anshi appears when he is 30 years old and then births current emperor
Anshi 18 years later rapes the previous emperor and births the baby the gets swapped with Jinshi
Jinshi at ~10 years old sees old decrepit previous emperor who'd be ~60+
So maybe some age difference + Shenlu has also been working as a servant for decades while Anshi was the empress and enjoyed a life of luxury to help maintain her you

Ahhhh, I'm trapped in a sprawling palace complex where I'm safe, clothed, well fed, and housed! I want to live outside where I could be free to live with zero prospects and probably die in the gutter!

Anshi appears when he is 30 years old and then births current emperor

I see, do you think he was that old already? That would create a bigger difference if Shenlu had been there for 10-15 years before her. Anshi still looks too young though, I guess her make up is first class.

Except the ones who died.
but there is no sense crying over every mistake.

It's just a way to make the timelines work, be he was OLD when Jinshi was a little kid, so he would have to be like mid-40s+ when she raped the previous emperor

Locust namek incoming

Spoiler from LN16 Emperor survives, but there's smallpox epidemic starting, Jinshi experienced how being an emperor is for one month, and decided that it's even worse than what he thought.

Not bugs I was referring to, but yeah that too.

There's an artbook for the novels coming out in english soon, anybody know which volume it goes up to? I'm waiting for vol 14 but know about some stuff that happens after

I'm far behind in the novel but isn't he already basically doing emperor's duties since his father can't move from the capital and he has to go around? What changed?

I like how Maomao had absolutely no fear about picking up the snake. I wouldn't be surprised if she has experience with snakes for their venom already, so she knows how to handle one, but at the minimum she clearly knows that the snake isn't venomous and doesn't particular care if she gets bitten.

Most people, even ones who are not actively afraid of snakes, would show caution in that situation but Maomao just fucking goes for it without any hesitation.

She's much more valuable alive than dead. At bare minimum she is a decent hostage.

Suirei reportedly did her research. She knows that Maomao is Lakan's daughter (which is Shishou's main rival...) so it seems like it'll cause them more trouble to hold her than to have left her behind.

Other than Shisui's name giving the omega hint, I don't know if Maomao would have otherwise made the connection between Shisui and Loulan if Suirei hadn't kidnapped her once Shenlu gave away the information of who is teaching all these ne'er-do-wells how to make abortifacents.

Nah, fuck her, kidnapping Maomao like that and then brushing it off like they're going out on a picnic, no fucks given whatsoever. She's a bitch.

and she gets away with everything lol

this is something I dont like about the ln, sometimes you have fuckers doing bad shit without facing severe punishment

Why is Maomao so kidnappeable?

This scene with the snake sure comes in handy later on

The resentment in the palace is being exploited to sow chaos, but it isn't the sole factor at play here.

As a disgusting anime-only, I can only go off of whats in the show, But all of the seeds have been sown for what is clearly a reveal that the western nation basically co-opted the imperial family in ages past through intermarrying and setting the traditions that keep their bloodline in power as a secret inner circle. But plague and misfortune weeded them out of the imperial family when all of the royal heirs except one got killed off by the same disease. The one that survived, I think, was the product of a non-western bloodline concubine and didn't share the genetic traits that got the rest of his siblings killed by the disease.

They are trying to create a succession crises to prune the current imperial bloodline and replace it with one that is under their control again.

this perspective from below

IMAGINE

the author seems to prefer being realistic about these things. Sometimes you can do everything right, but still lose (and viceversa).

(she may also just be an amateur author. I don't know how sophisticated the novels read in their original language.)

I woudlnt call that realistic, more like the author dont want to be harsh with certain characters

thats a very normal thing that authors do when they have characters they like

Of course she gets away with it, because shes based off of this character

I would say it's realistic that people get away with doing bad things unpunished

crypto scams

false rape claims

being mean to me on the internet

many such cases

Maomao 2.0 next week

People isn't ready for him

Well Shisui dies in the WN, it got changed

Maomao anal

Small fox next ep?

He's probably better with her not around, don't have to worry about her trying to snatch the placenta to make some fucked up Chinese medicine out of.

Feels bad man ;_;

Yeah, I am still mad about the change.

I don't get it.

hair sticks are a symbol of nobles staking their claim on someone, i dont remember whose stick that was but aint for common servant concubines.

I read first the LN, I was happy while reading but then I realized that the end was too weird. Once I checked the original WN I realized the truth, I prefer the original honestly.

That one is probably from the emperor, if I remember well only him can use gold like only Jinshi can use silver. There is no way Lishu would give away freely such a big gift to one of her maidens.

She was bullying Lishu and taking things that belonged to her, knowing she was too meek to speak up about it. That hair stick is something that only Lishu is supposed to be able to wear

Has the Emperor visited Loulan before, and thus, did he ever dick down Shisui?

Shisui wanted to buy the jasmine tea, what do you think?

is the wn translated?

Ahh, that explains it, thanks.

Didn't he fuck one or multiple of her doubles?

What are the chances for a 3rd or a 4th season? I REALLY wanna see that Western Capital epilogue scene getting animated.

That´s because you fucked her sister, and many more prepubescent girls

Me too also wanna see that part before it, that took place under the table

Lishu!

If this show was set in glorious nippon, she would have just used hiragana.

100% this is incredibly popular.

Lixo!

They have never followed the manga. This is an adaptation of the LNs which are the original material.

Shisui is cute, so she did nothing wrong.

b-b-b-but muh empire

Don't care.

*Tesouro

bugs aren't cute, hebi a cute though.

Ah-Duo went out of her way to cuck the emperor by getting pregnant with her childhood friend's child.

Season 3? Very likely.

Season 4? Less certain, depends on whether they maintain steam but unless popularity dips it seems like a reasonable possibility.

The real question is, what is the 'logical' stopping point for the show to reach? Assuming it doesn't run completely to the finish, IIRC the LN's are still ongoing so thats not really an option. Whats the best endpoint that the show can hit and then leave off on that will feel like a conclusion?

I stop giving a f about her after i hear she was involve in assasinating Jinshi

Before they go to Western Capital Namek would be a great point.

what's bigger, the snake or the frog?

If they continue at a two novels per cour pace, season 3 would be novels 5 and 6. Jinshi's admission of what he wants to do and a good end for Basen kyaaa, while a good complete story with the snake girl.

If we get a season 4 it'd be Yao and En'en hijinks who I love and the branding, which is still the highest point the novels ever got to imho.

Season 5 would meander a little. Most of it would be boat travel and annoying politics before something would get to happen. That's where I'd hope they start trimming some of the fat and moving things along quicker. But then that'd piss off the true fans and make the anime lose popularity... probably as far as it'd ever go.

Gaoshun still has a dick. I saw it on a doujinshi.

When are we going to see the one they call the flower of the battlefield in action proper?

He'd better not have been cheating on his wife, that woman is scary

I bet she forces snakes to bite her on the arm to document the effects.

Yes

Shisui is objectively a good girl everybody here who disagrees is unironically a retarded speedwatcher.

Total spoilerfag death

Poor hebi, he needs that.

youtube.com/watch?v=G01sZgf17E4

Maomao's 毛毛猫猫。

Maaan, and here I was hoping the ED was showing us their cute friendship and this arc would be the 3 girls going on adventures and doing shenanigans in the palace but nooo, we had to have a traitor.

just deserts

Fansubbers = stupid

Shisui is a traitor to the traitors

The scary part, is that he can. That village too. Gonna be wiped off the map.

You stole my favorite toy. I will steal your life.

Rape correction imminent

If this frame didn't tip you off you are unironically not going to make it. Your speedwatchingitis might be terminal.

won't let you fuck her

let

Emperor cooms where he wants

What, Xiaolan is also a toraitoru? It's just a "spot the MC" frame.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy

stubbed toe still twinging weeks later and throwing off my walk

doc says give it a couple months

Suirei perma-crippled from faking her death

New OP is trash

Yes, yes, we've been through this already eat some icecream and forget about it.

THIS. i cannot express in words my disappointment every time i start playing an ep expecting some yurayurari and get this fucking garbage
evry tiem

I'm wondering the same thing too Xiaolan. Getting tired of wagecucking for Walmart.

What skills or work experience do you have, anon?

xiaolan betrays meowmeow by becoming best friends with Lishu!
