Anime Episode 08

**"Influenza and the Dawn of a Pharmacy"** is the 8th episode of the "Isekai Yakkyoku" Anime adaptation.

*Demand for Parallel World Pharmacy's products continues to rise, exceeding the store's capacity to handle. Everyone would benefit if other shops sold Farma's new medicines, but the Saint Fleuve Pharmaceutist Guild strictly forbids its members from involvement with Farma's shop or his medicines. Farma searches for a way to expand access to medicine in this environment.*

## Summary

As Parallel World Pharmacy continues to profit, the pharmecutist's guild continues to decline. Veron continues to blame Farma as rumors circulate that he sent the blindfolded horse into the pharmacy. Later Pierre tries to ask one of the doctors in town to look at his daughter, but the office is closed. Farma happens to pass by and offers his help. Pierre reluctantly accepts and Charlotte goes to prepare.

They go in through the back entrance where Pierre believes that he had to come this way because he was a commoner. It's when he's told to wear a cloth mask that he realizes that they went in the back way to prevent everyone else from getting infected. He continues to be amazed when Farma goes into a lot of detail regarding medication, including the weight. Farma determines her condition to be influenza and tries to make it simple for Pierre. Farma offers some medicine to help lower Marie's fever.

That night, Marie is well enough to leave the pharmacy. Farma mentions that while the pharmacy is closed at night, Pierre can let the guards know if Marie gets worse and he'll come. His payment is low because children need care especially. As he heads back, Pierre understands why the guild can't keep up. Later as Pierre takes notes, his wife mentions that Marie fell asleep. She gets worried when Pierre mentions that he went to Parallel world pharmacy. Pierre talks about how great Farma is and wants even a sliver of his knowledge to help his business. His wife asks him not to do anything rash as Pierre weeps that he may be unable to help his family when they get especially sick.

Pierre brings news of his visit to the pharmacy when the guild next meets. Veron immediately calls him out and laments not being able to save his own son. Pierre calls out Veron's selfishness and wishes for the rest of the guild to follow him. Veron doesn't listen and kicks Pierre out of the guild. Later Farma comes across Pierre distraught in front of his smashed-up shop. Farma admits that he had no idea Pierre was running his own pharmacy as Pierre thinks about moving away to start a new pharmacy in a new country. Farma reveals that he just got permission to start the compounding pharmacy guild from the queen. He offers Pierre to join it and Pierre accepts in tears.

Some time later, Pierre is ready to open up again but is nervous. Marie says some words of encouragement to calm his nerves and he opens the door. Many customers have come flocking and Pierre cries tears of joy. He wipes away his tears as he welcomes everyone to Dawn Pharmacy.

## Trivia

* Farma giving acetaminophen to Marie rectally was omitted.
	+ She breathes it in instead.
* Vernon is rewritten to be paranoid for the common people all because Farma is a noble; his classest beliefs came from his son being denied proper treatment by nobles and dying.
	+ Originally, he was just greedy. But this gave him a more sympathetic background.
	+ Vernon stated that he was told Divine Arts are limited and they didn't have the ingredients; all of which are *legit* answers. Divine Arts can only be used so much and nobles use more exotic and rare ingredients for their medicine.
* Pierre makes a good point to the pharmacist guild; *never* do they attempt to be innovative with their medicine. At best their traditional methods are complete hit and miss.
* Dawn Pharmacy looks like it was vandalized after Pierre was expelled from the Guild; ***heavily*** implying Vernon was indeed behind the failed attempt on Farma's store.
* Pierre did indeed go on to be head of the new guild and recruit others who defect from the pharmacy guild.
