【海外の反応】薬屋のひとりごと1期4話、「猫猫には頭脳とビンタがある」

tearmoon
buta no liver
potion-danomi
and this

マジできついよな。今期もう6本切ったのに、それでもここ何年かでいちばん多く見てる

>>1

It's f*****g brutal, I've already dropped 6 shows this season and I'm still watching more than I have in years.

なんでこれ日本だと深夜3時15分の放送なんだ？

Why does this air at 3:15 am in nipnong?

日本じゃアニメの9割は夜10時から深夜2時くらいの間に放送してるって知ってるよな？

>>5

You are away that 90% of anime airs between about 10pm and 2am in Japan right?

うん。でも3時？さすがに遅すぎだろ

>>6

Ye. but 3am? That's damn late

そりゃ向こうのニートがまともな生活できないわけだわ

>>5

No wonder their Neets can't get their s**t together

うわ、作画めっちゃ落ちたな。違和感だらけのCGがそこら中にある

Holy s**t the animation quality sure took a dive. awkward CGI f*****g everywhere

小蘭と一緒に食べてるシーン、すごい変だった

>>9

The eating scene with Xiaolan was really weird

>「China回」が何も分かってない奴らに誤解される回、また来たか
お約束だな

>it's a china episode gets misunderstood by clueless idiots episode again
like clockwork

中国なの？

>>11

Is it China?

でさあ……
最後に出てきた男って何かの自己免疫疾患なの？それともただ手を火傷しただけ？

Soooooooo......
Is the dude in the end having some kind of autoimmune disease or he just burned his hands?

どうせループス（狼瘡）だよ

>>13

It's lupus.

毒見をやりすぎたツケが回ってきたな

All that taste testing has really taken it's toll.

これ「くっつかないでほしい」って思ってるの俺だけ？あの「宦官」とくっつくのを応援する流れなのは分かるよ、恋愛ものの定番だし。でも猫猫は壬氏のことなんて全然気にしてないみたいだし、そりゃそうだろって思う。この子にはこういうしがらみから抜け出して、あの気持ち悪いナヨナヨした変質者から自由になってほしい

Does anyone else feel an “unship” on this one? I know we’re supposed to want her and the “eunuch” to get together, standard romance trope, but she doesn’t seem to give a s**t about him at all, and why should she? I want this girl to escape these entanglements and become free of this creepy effeminate predator.

>あの「宦官」とくっつくのを応援する流れなのは分かる
いや、あいつのアプローチが見事に空振りするのを笑うところだろ

>>16

>I know we’re supposed to want her and the “eunuch” to get together
Pretty sure we're supposed to laugh at how hard his advances are falling flat.

まあ最初はそうだよ。恋愛ものの定番だから。でもそのうち、少なくとも女性からは「すっごくイケメンだから」って理由で愛すべきキャラってことになって、猫猫も最終的には惚れる流れになるんだろ。漫画にはこの定番を壊してほしい

>>17

Well yeah, to start with. Standard romance trope. But then he becomes allegedly endearing, at least to women because he’s just So Hot, and she’s supposed to fall for him eventually. I want the manga to break this trope.

この話題が出るたびに言わずにいられないんだけど、作者の自業自得だよ。謎めいた美青年が人気出ないと思ってたんなら、それは作者のせいだろ

Every time this gets brought up I always have to say this: it’s her own fault. If the author didn’t think a mysterious pretty boy wasn’t going to be popular, that’s on her.

作者の妹が「ラノベに壬氏と猫猫の場面を入れないと階段から突き落とす」って脅したんだよ

>>19

Author's sister threatened her to push her down the stairs if she doesn't put Jinmao moments in the LN

やっぱりな！道理であいつが気持ち悪い変質者っぽいわけだ、作者がわざとそう描いてるんだ。よくやった作者ちゃん！中国娘版シャーロック・ホームズの話を書いて、恋愛なんてクソくらえだ。なんなら感動的に死なせてやればいい、それでうまくいくだろ

>>20

I f*****g knew it! No wonder he seems like such a creepy predator, she’s making him that way intentionally. Good work author-chan! Tell your chinese girl Sherlock holmes story and F**K the romance. Give him a touching death if you want, that should work.

どの妃と結婚したい？

Which consort would you marry?

俺は白鈴だな

>>22

For me, it's Pairen.

悠木碧が嫌い

I hate Aoi Yuuki.

でも本人はこれ（画像）だぞ。
高い声やため息のときに声が震える感じが本気で苦手なら、イラッとするのは分かるけど

>>24

but she's picrel.
i admit she could be irritating if you really dislike how her voice vibrates when high pitch or sighing

この素敵な女性は誰！？

>>25

who is this lovely woman!!

悠木碧は好きなんだけど、漫画で読んでたときは猫猫（ねこねこ）の声が違って聞こえてたから、まだこの声に慣れない

>>24

I like Aoi Yuuki, but Catcat had a different voice in the manga and I'm still not used to this one.

猫猫の出す声が可愛すぎる…こんな隠れた名作を見逃しかけてたなんて信じられない。過去のシーズンにも見逃してる作品がどれだけあるんだろうって思っちゃう

The noises she makes are too cute... I can't believe this hidden gem almost went under the radar for me, and it makes me wonder how many other shows from past seasons I've missed out on

>隠れた名作
お前が洞窟に住んでるだけだろ。めちゃくちゃ人気のシリーズだぞ。

>>28

>Hidden gem
You just live in a cave, it's a highly popular series.

アニメ化される前は/a/で漫画の話がほとんど出てなかったのも意外だったな。絵はあんなに上手いし、話もこんなにいいのに。でも隠れた名作じゃないってのは同意。
アニメ化でちゃんと原作の良さを活かしてくれてるのが嬉しい。このクオリティに値する作品だよ。

>>29 >>31

I was surprised how little discussion the manga had on /a/ prior to the anime as well, considering how well its drawn and the story being this nice, but I agree this is by no means a hidden gem.
I love that they do it justice in the adaption tho, It really deserves this level of quality.

>隠れた名作
このアニメ、あらゆる面で制作のレベルが高すぎて「隠れた名作」とか無理だろ

>>28

>hidden gem
The production of this show is way too high on every aspect to be a "hidden gem"

現実的に壬氏を始末するならどうする？

How would you realistically get rid of Jinshi

何章にもまたがる謎解きで猫猫をしばらく宮廷から離して、戻ってきたら壬氏が話に一切出てこなくなってる、でいいだろ

>>32

Just have a multi-chapter mystery that takes Maomao away from the Imperial court for a while, and then when she gets back he's just not brought up anymore.

>話から退場させる
見事な一手だ

>>33

>write him out of the story
Outstanding move.

正直、この女がまだ首つながってるのが驚きだわ

I'm honestly surprised this bitch still has her head.

鞭打ちにされたって言ってたし、死んでるだろ

>>35

They said she got whipped, she'd be dead.

鞭打ちになったのは化粧を見逃した宦官のほう。この女は「軟禁」されただけ

>>36

The eunuch who missed the makeup got whipped. She only got "house arrested"

なんでラノベの漫画版が2つ同時に出てるのか、いまだに分からん。
こんなの前例あるの？

I still don't understand why there are 2 different concurrent manga adaptations of the LN.
Did this ever happen before?

作者もそれには戸惑ってるけど、どっちも売れてるから両方出し続けるって言ってた

>>38

Author is confused about that too, but said that since they both sell well, they will keep publishing both.

>作者もそれには戸惑ってる
え、マジで？

>>39

>Author is confused about that too,
wait seriously?

その2つの漫画って、話の流れは同じなの？

>>38 >>39

Do both manga follow the same story beats?

そう。片方がWeb版のほうを漫画にしてたら、もっと面白かったのにな

>>41

Yeah, it would've been more interesting if one of them adapted the WN

>そばかすは偽物
ちくしょう！

>the freckles are fake
F**K.

女ってのはみんな偽物なんだよ

>>43

Women are all fake

でもあの人たちってどこでトイレしてんの？
誰かがウンコとオシッコでいっぱいの桶の始末をしてるってこと？

But where do they p**p?
Are you telling me someone has to deal with their bucket full of piss and s**t?

フランスのヴェルサイユ宮殿で貴族や廷臣がどうやって用を足してたか調べてみるといいぞ。

>>45

You should look up how nobles and courtiers took bathroom breaks in the Palace of Versailles in France.

主人公が妓楼育ちってことについてどう思う？

How do you feel about MC being raised in a brothel?

いや、そうじゃなくない？

>>47

She wasn't tho?

なんであの女は罰を受けなかったんだ？知らなかったってだけならまだしも、はっきり禁止されてる毒物を上級妃に使うのは暗殺だろ

How was she not punished? Ignorance is one thing, but using an explicitly banned toxic substance on a high consort is assassination.

後宮の仕組みそのものが、さらわれたり無理やり連れてこられたりした娘たちに関してはめちゃくちゃ野蛮なんだよ。政治的に差し出された上級妃も含めてな。でもそこに焦点を当てたら話にならない

the whole palace harem system is barbaric as f**k regarding the kidnapped and or forced girls, including high consorts handed in politically. but if we focused on this, there wouldn't be a story.

猫猫がさらわれた経緯を話したあとも、さらった連中がなんで仲介料を受け取れたのかずっと分からん。おやじが名乗り出ることはできなかったのか？まあ俺が読んだ漫画版は端折ってるっぽかったけど

>>50

I never understood how Maomao's captors kept getting the comission after she told what happened. Could her father not come foward? But I read the manga adaptation that seemed abridged.

「後宮」は下女がいないと回らないから、何年か働くよう命じられてるっぽい。で、人さらいは娘たちを宮廷の衛兵に「親切に紹介」することで食ってる。
娘たちはまったく関係ない事務手続きの一環として働かされて、人さらいは、まあ、お礼をもらうってわけ。誰かの言ってることが正しいなら、人さらいは兄とか保護者とかってことで通ってるんだろう。
女に権利なんてろくに無い時代だしな

>>51

'the palace' needs gejo maids to not collapse, they're seemigly ordered to work for some years, and the kidnappers make a living of kindly introducing the girls to the palace guardsmen.
girls are then ordered to work as part of a completely unrelated administrative procedure, and the kidnappers are, uh, thanked. if >>258948258 knows what they're talking about then they pass as their brothers or guardians or whatever.
women don't exactly have rights.

3話が全然分からなかった
妃が夢遊病のふりをしてたのは
皇帝に手を付けられないためだよな？幼なじみと一緒になるために。でも皇帝は今はちょっと彼女に興味を持ってるって言ってたじゃん。なのに最後は幼なじみと再会してる。結局何が起きたんだよ

i didn't get episode 3 at all
You have the courtesan fake sleep walking
so she can get the emperor to not go for her? so she can be with her CF? But then they said the emperor is somewhat interested in her now. But then at the ending you see her reunited with CF. So what the f**k just happened

夢遊病のふりで城壁の上で踊ってたのは、まさに皇帝を遠ざけるためだよ。狂ったふりをしてなかったら、下賜される前に皇帝が寝所に呼んでたかもしれないからな

>>53

The sleepwalking and dancing on top of a wall was specifically to keep the emperor off of her. The emperor might try to bed her before she goes away if she wasn't pretending to be crazy.

踊りをわざと失敗して、皇帝にがっかりさせたんだよ。夢遊病のふりは、下賜の話が出たときに皇帝が彼女に興味を持たないようにするため。幼なじみと一緒になるために、長い時間をかけて仕込んでたってわけ

>>53

She f****d up her dance so the Emperor would be unimpressed by her. The fake sleepwalking was to deter the Emperor from becoming curious about her once the topic of giving her away came up. She was playing a long con with her CF to be together with him

なんで少女漫画系ってこんなにいいんだろうな？

why is shoujo genre so good bros?

心の中ではみんな小さな女の子だからさ

>>56

Because we are all little girls in our heart

あらまあ
正直、前期いちばん楽しみにしてたのも『わたしの幸せな結婚』だった

>>57

oh my
ngl watakon was also my most anticipated series last season

>少女漫画
そうか？

>>56

>shoujo
is it really?

わた婚は少女向けなのに、なんでこっちは青年向け扱いなんだ

>>59

why is this considered seinen when watakon is shoujo

これって誰向けなの？

Who's the target audience here?

>小蘭が背が低くてつま先立ちしてる
かわいい

>>61

>Xiaolan is so short she has to tiptoe
Cute

この婆さん、止まらねえな

this hag can't be stopped

>婆さん、もう白鈴を超える妓女に投資してる
さすがすぎる

>>63

>Granny already investing in a courtesan to surpass Pairin
She's based beyond belief.

これって妓女のアニメじゃないの？

Isn't this anime about prostitutes?

主人公は薬師だけど、妓女としての教育も受けてる

>>65

MC is a pharmacist, but she was also taught how to be a prostitute.

なんで女の自己投影キャラって、みんなこうやって他の女を見下すのがお約束なんだ？自分の姉さんたちまで

Why is it so common for every female self insert to look down on all other women like this? Even their own f*****g sisters?

猫猫は姉さんたちを見下してなんかないぞ。妓女になりたくないだけ。売れなかったら悲惨な人生だからな。それに猫猫は興味のないことは苦手なんだよ。
そっち方面もそのひとつ

>>67

Maomao doesn't look down on her sisters, she simply doesn't want to be a courtesan, since if you're not successful you have a terribile life. Plus Maomao isn't good at things that doesn't interest her.
S*x is one of those things

>猫猫は姉さんたちを見下してなんかない
はいはい。そりゃ主人公本人は絶対そんなことしないよな、聖人でそんな感情とは無縁だから。
でも作者とファンは？そりゃ見下してるよ。だから自己投影キャラを持ち上げるためにこういう書き方になってるんだ

>>68

>Maomao doesn't look down on her sisters

Oh sure. Of course the main character never would do that themselves, because they're saintly and above such feelings.

But the author and fans? Of course they do. That's why it is written this way to suck off the self insert.

17歳のはずなのに……なんで12歳に見えるんだ？

Shes supposed to be 17..... Why she look 12 ?

ラノベだと、痩せこけてるってくらい細いって何度も書かれてる。もともと小柄だし、栄養状態もずっと良くなかったんだよ

>>70

The LN frequently calls her slender to the point of being emaciated. She's naturally petite and never had particularly good nutrition.

皇帝がまだ手を付けてない妃って誰？

Which consorts has the Emperor not touched yet?

9割9分そうだろ。後宮には文字どおり何千人も女がいて、要するに意地の悪い女たちとその派閥でできた小さな町みたいなもんだからな

>>72

Like 99% of them because the harem has literally thousands of women in it and is basically a small town's worth of bitchy women and their cliques.

これって誰向けなの？

Who's the target audience?

大人の男だよ。どっちも青年漫画だし

>>74

Grown men, since both are seinen

何を見てるんだ？

what's she looking at?

たぶん冬虫夏草に寄生された虫とかだろ

>>76

Probably something like a bug infested with cordyceps.

胃石（ベゾアール）

>>76

Bezoar

で、見たところ……皇帝はお気に召したようだ

And from what we can tell... emperor likey.

たぶん皇帝はあの技に出会ったのは初めてだったんだろうな。
猫猫は妓楼で仕込まれた知識を分けるだけで、妃たちの政治争いを丸ごとひっくり返せそう

Probably the first time he encountered this technique.
Maomao could probably tip the whole courtesan political fight just by sharing her knowledge from the bothrel

異世界主人公が日本料理で世界に革命を起こすように、猫猫は妓楼仕込みのスゴ技で妃たちの夜の生活に革命を起こすのだ

Just like an isekai protagonist revolutionizing the world with Japanese cuisine, so shall MaoMao revolutionize the s*x lives of the consorts with l33t brothel skillz

皇帝「猫猫よ、薬師はやめよ。今日からそなたは後宮妃養成学校の校長だ」

Emperor: Maomao, quit being an apothecary. You are now the Headmaster of the Imperial Consort School.

「恵まれた」方々のための学校

School for the "Gifted"

先週、予告と次回のタイトルを見たときの俺「あの見下してくる女どもめ、猫猫を脅すとは許せん！」
猫猫「脅すのはこっちだ！」
見事にひっくり返されたわ。あと、猫猫が放り出されるときの「ぽよん」って音がかわいかった

Me seeing the preview and name of the episode last week: How dare those condescending ladies threaten Mao Mao!
Mao Mao: "I'm the one who threatens!"
That was a great Uno Reverse Card they played on us. Also those "boings" from Mao Mao getting thrown out were quite cute.

猫猫「脅すのはこっちだ！」
もしかしたら猫猫がひっぱたくかもとは思ってたけど、本当にやるとは思わなかったし、ましてあんなに強くとは。侍女を文字どおり床まで張り倒して、髪をつかんで引きずって、たっぷりお返ししてやってた。
猫猫はあの瞬間、侍女たちを完全に制圧して、その場の主導権を握ったんだ。名前は「猫」って字なのかもしれないけど、見せた気迫は俺には猫より虎に近かった

Mao Mao: “I’m the one who threatens!”
I’d an inkling that Maomao might slap her, but I didn’t think she’d actually do it and certainly not that hard. She literally slapped the maid to the ground, dragged her by the hair and gave her a good dose of her own medicine.
Maomao absolutely dominated these ladies-in-waiting and claimed the position of authority right in that very moment. Her name might be synonymous with the word for “cat”, but the fierceness she showed was more reminiscent of a tiger to me.

猫猫、ウィル・スミスばりにビンタをかましたうえにおまけ付きだったな……「その毒を……口から洗い流しな！」

Maomao really gave her the Will Smith treatment and then some..."go wash that poison...out your f*****g mouth!"

効果音付きでアニメのキャラみたいにポイポイ放り出されてるのが最高だったｗ
壬氏には魅力と影響力があって、猫猫には頭脳とビンタがある。いいコンビだ！

I love how they kept tossing her out like a cartoon character complete with sound effects lol.
Jinshi has the charm and the influence, Maomao has the smarts and the slap. They make an effective team!

それと、3回目に放り出されなかったときの扉のカットな

And the shot of the door the third time when she isn't thrown out

先週、予告と次回のタイトルを見たときの俺
猫猫からは「閉じ込められたのは俺じゃない、お前らが俺と一緒に閉じ込められたんだ」って感じの気迫が出てた

Me seeing the preview and name of the episode last week
Maomao was bringing big 'you're stuck in here with me' energy

だよな。今回だって玉葉妃は、皇帝が自分の部屋に来ないおかげで寝不足にならずに済むって喜んでたし。
もっと頻繁に来られたらどれだけ大変か想像してみろよ。
化粧でも寝不足は隠しきれないだろうな

Yeah, even this episode she was happy to not miss out on sleep by having the Emperor in her chamber.
Just imagine how bad it would be if he would do it more.
Not even make-up would be able to hide how sleep deprived she would be.

それと皇帝には敬意を表したい。
あれだけ寝不足になっても、まだ国を治めなきゃいけないんだから。
たぶんレッドブルを水みたいに飲んでるぞ

Also respect to the emperor.
He still has an empire to lead even after losing a bunch of sleep.
He is probably downing redbull like water

漢方薬の間違いだろ

Chinese herbal medicine you mean

それに玉葉妃にも休みをあげられるしなｗ

And giving Lady Gyokuyou a break lol.

玉葉妃の腰も感謝してる

Gyokuyou's back is thankful

孫子が考案した古の戦術

Ancient techniques sun tzu came up with

猫猫「お任せください、都でいちばんいかがわしい妓楼直伝の秘策がございます」

Maomao: I have secret tactics straight from the seediest brothels in the capital my lady

皇帝は新しい世界を知った

The emperor discovered a whole new world

そっち方面は最高だろうけど、後宮の全員とそういうことをしたら、政治的な影響やら後宮のゴタゴタやらに全部対処しなきゃいけないって、そのうち気づくんだよ

It's great sexually but then you eventually realise that you have to deal with all the political ramifications and all the harem shenanigans if you do engage in activities with the entire harem.

でも後継者争いの1つや2つ無かったら、中国の歴史ものじゃないだろ。
（いい加減学べよって思うけど、学ばないんだよな）

It isn't historical china without a good succession crisis or two tho.
(You'd think they'd learn their lesson but nah)

でも後継者争いの1つや2つ無かったら、中国の歴史ものじゃないだろ。
しかも同じ皇帝の治世で何度も。
（いい加減学べよって思うけど、学ばないんだよな）
残念ながら、それが後宮を持つことの避けられない欠点なんだよな。大勢の妃や側室が、互いに、そして皇后とも皇帝の寵愛を争う。ただこのアニメの場合、まだ皇后は立てられてなくて、妃と側室しかいないけど

It isn't historical china without a good succession crisis or two tho.
Multiple times within the same Emperor's reign too.
(You'd think they'd learn their lesson but nah)
Unfortunately that's just the unfortunate downside of having an imperial harem. Multiple consorts and concubines vying with each other and the Empress for the Emperor's attention. Although in this anime's case no Empress has actually been appointed yet, only Consorts and concubines.

こないだこのサブレで「女性の策士の例を教えて」って投稿があったのを思い出した。
ほら、猫猫がいるぞ！戦争や戦術の策じゃないけど、梨花妃に皇帝の血筋を守るための策を授けたのは確かだｗ

I remember the post on this subreddit the other day asking for examples of female strategists.
Well here comes Maomao! While it's not war/tactical strategizing, she has certainly given Lihua a strategy to preserve the emperor's bloodline haha.

今回、何気ない動作の作画がすごかったな。もちろん前の回までが悪かったとは思わないけど、今日はマジで良く見えた

They went crazy with the animation of the mundane actions this episode. I don’t recall it being bad in the last episodes of course but damn it looked good today.

今期ここまでで最高の作画のビンタと説教だった

Best animated slap and dressing down of the season so far.

友達が帰るときに、机のところで手を振ってたのがすごく好き。
追記：実際にGIFにしてみた

I loved the wave at the table when her friend was leaving.
Edit: I actually made a gif of it.

なんてビンタだ……

what a slap...

なんであんなビンタができるんだ？

How can she slap?

正義の怒りで、に決まってるだろ

With righteous fury, of course.

ふざけた根性ごと張り倒したな

Slapped the goofy out her ass

うわマジか、ビンタからの髪つかんで引きずり！猫猫があんなことするとは思ってなかった

OH S**T the bitchslap and hair drag! I wasn’t expecting that out of her.

それに、梨花妃にどんな目に遭わせてきたか身をもって分からせるために、あのおしろいを侍女にぶっかけたところもな

Also how she poured the powder on her so she would know exactly what she'd been putting Lihua through.

猫猫の権威に逆らうべからず

Never question Mao Mao's authority

俺は予想してたぞ。おしろいが出てきて猫猫が振り返った瞬間に「あ、これは誰かが無事じゃ済まないな」って思った。問題は誰が、何人ひっぱたかれるか。みんなでおしろいを持ち込んで塗ってたのか、それとも1人の仕業なのか。
さすがに髪を引きずるのは予想してなかったけど。
むしろ、皇帝の勅命が後ろ盾にあるんだから、もっと早く強気に出なかったのがちょっと意外だった。皇帝は臣下に「お願い」なんてしない、命令するんだよ

I was expecting it. As soon as I saw the face powder and her turning around I was like "Oh someone isn't walking away from this without harm." the question was who and how many were getting smacked. If it was a group effort to get the face powder in there and on her, or if it was just one doing it.
I didn't expect the hair drag though.
In fact I was slightly surprised she wasn't throwing her weight around earlier given that she had the emperors edict backing her. The Emperor does not "ask" his subjects, he commands.

もしかしたら、行儀の悪い女の扱い方を妓楼にいた頃に覚えたのかもしれないな

For all we know she might have picked up this method of handling women misbehaving during her time in brothels.

売れっ子の足を引っ張る売れない子を、やり手婆や女将たちがどう扱うかを見て覚えたって考えると笑える。この子の平手は年季が入ってる

The idea that she learned it from the Madame's and Okami's and how they treat the less popular girls f*****g over the more popular ones is hilarious. The pimp hand is strong with this one.

うおおお、猫猫がキレて侍女に自分でおしろいを塗らせた！！猫猫かっけえ！！
でも真面目な話、あの侍女はちょっとかわいそうでもある。梨花妃への忠誠心でやっただけなんだよな。気持ちは立派だけど、禁止されたおしろいを自分の主の妃に使うのは馬鹿だった。
この時代の罰の重さを考えたら、謹慎で済んで首をはねられなかっただけマシだな

WOOHOO MAO MAO JUST LOST HER TEMPER AND MADE THE ATTENDANT FACE POWDER HERSELF!! MAO MAO BADASS!!
But on a serious note, you'll also feel pity to that attendant. She just did it out of loyalty to Lihua. Her intentions are noce but she is dumb to use a prohibited powder for her consort.
At least she was only suspended and she was not beheaded, given how severe punishments at this period are.

侍女が禁止されたおしろいをまだ梨花妃に塗り続けてたから、猫猫は本気でキレたんだよ。
正直分かる。猫猫は薬の修行を積んで妓楼で育ったから、美しさのために命を差し出すのがどれだけ馬鹿げてるか分かってる。しかも梨花妃の息子がすでにあのおしろいの害で亡くなってるのに、侍女たちはまだ使ってる。猫猫からしたら到底理解できないことで、だからブチ切れたんだ

Maomao really went crazy because of the attendant STILL applying the banned face powder on Lihua.
Honestly understandable. Maomao was trained in medicine and grew up in a brothel, so she understands just how stupid it is to trade life for beauty. AND despite Lihua's son already suffering the consequences of the powder, the attendants are still using it. It should be utterly incomprehensible for her, which gets her to snap.

猫猫が全力で暴れたのが最高だった。
あいつら患者に会わせもしないし、いろんな意味でやらかしてたからな。
しかも自分よりひと回り大きい女の髪をつかんで部屋の端まで引きずってた。
壬氏、あのとき新しい扉を開いたに違いない

Loved that she went full ham.
They wouldn't even let her see the patient and f****d up in multiple ways.
Plus she dragged a another woman half a size bigger then her by the hair across the room.
Jinshi must have discovered a new kink back then

5本の指が顔に言ったことは？
バチーン！

What did the five fingers say to the face?
SLAP!

「されるのはあいつじゃなくて俺のはずだった！不公平だ！」

"It should have been me, not her! It's not fair!"

猫猫はあのビンタで梨花妃を救ったかもしれないけど、自分の首も絞めたな。壬氏がまだ猫猫に興味を持ってなかったとしても、これで間違いなく持った。きっと何かを目覚めさせちゃったんだよ……

Maomao might have saved Lihua with that slap, but she also doomed herself: if Jinshi wasn’t already interested in Maomao, he sure is now. She’s surely awakened something in him…

猫猫がブチ切れた
でも本当にそれだけだったのかなって思う。猫猫はあの場で自分が主導権を握らないと梨花妃が死ぬかもしれないって気づいたから、感じてた怒りをわざと大きく見せて、侍女たちが自分の権限に口出しできないよう震え上がらせたんじゃないか。
実際、猫猫が完全に場を仕切ってても、回復までの道のりは綱渡りだったわけだし。

MAO MAO JUST LOST HER TEMPER
I wonder if that was all there is to it though. MaoMao realized that she had to take leadership there or risk Lihua dying, so she amplified the anger she felt and scared the rest of the attendants to NOT question her authority.
As things were, even as she was in full control, the path to recovery was a tight rope walk.
