【海外の反応】薬屋のひとりごと2期5話（第29話）、「壬氏がこの国でいちばん美しい女性だって証明しちゃったな」

じゃあ、あの人たちはトルコもどきってこと？

So they are notTurks?

薬屋は現実じゃなくて架空の世界が舞台だって誰かが言ってた

>>1

Someone said that Kusuriya was set in fantasy world and not in real

ほら地図。使節は砂欧って国から来てる

>>2

Here the map, the envoys are from Shaoh

ディアナってギリシャの女神じゃなかった？

>>1

Isn't Diana a Greek goddess?

ディアナはギリシャの女神アルテミスのラテン語名だよ。でも白い肌の女の人たちが話してたのは、俺にはトルコ語っぽく聞こえた

>>4

Diana is Greek goddess Artemis' Latin name but the white women were speaking something that sounded like Turkish to me

一応言っとくと、薬屋は厳密には大人の男性向けだぞ。青年誌で連載されてるからな

Reminder that Kusuriya is technically aimed to adult men. It's published in a seinen magazine

ほんとそれ。30歳のおじさんだけど猫猫好きだぞ

>>6

Real, I'm a 30 years old ojisan and I like maomao

前に日本のマンガUP!のサイトを見たら、少女漫画のタグが付いてたから、場合によるな

>>6

Last time I took a look at the japanese mangaup site they had it tagged as shoujo so it really depends

カエルはキモい

frogs are gross

だな、アヒルのほうがいい

>>9

Yeah, ducks are better

俺の嫁、小蘭ほんと可愛い

My wife Xiaolan is so cute

小蘭成分が必要だったんだよ

>>11

I needed my does of Xiaolan

月の女神（男）、いけるか？

Would you a Moon Goddess (male)?

それでもいける

>>13

still would

ふわふわのちびども

fluffy little buggers

実物もすごくきれいだよ

>>15

Really pretty in real life too

美しいムシ

>>15 >>16

Beautiful mushi

>国を傾けるほどの舞だった
マジで？ 壬氏に女装させて踊らせるのが、そこまで強力？ 本当に？

>it was such a powerful performance it could topple nations
really? dressing jinshi up as a girl and having him dance is THAT powerful? really?

原作の設定だと、アニメで見るよりはるかに美しいことになってるらしい。アニメで表現するのは難しいんだろうけど、知らん。もっと綺麗なデザインも見たことあるし、もっとひどいのも見たことある
あと、画像の人もすごく美しいことになってるらしい。

>>18

Canonically he's far more beautiful than the animation makes him seem or something which I guess is hard in animation, I don't know. I've seen prettier designs, also far worse once

Also, picrel is supposedly very beautiful.

これってパワハラになる？

does this count as power harassment?

法的には壬氏が猫猫を所有してるんじゃなかったっけ？

>>20

Doesn't he legally own her?

前のシーズンで奉公の契約からは解放されてるよ。今はただ壬氏の直属で働いてる勤め人

>>21

she was released from her slavery contract last season. she's now just a wagie working directly under him

女は薬を作っちゃいけないって、今まで一度も言われてなかったのがむしろ驚き。誰かがとっくの昔に猫猫に教えてるはずだろ。

I am more surprised it was never mentioned that women can't make medicine. Sure somebody would have told Mao² long time ago.

やぶ医者が、最初に会ったときに直接教えてやればよかったのにな。
別の媒体に移すときの利点は、こういう矛盾を一言足して直せることなんだけど、絶対やらないよな。

>>23

You'd think the quack doctor would have told her directly when they first met.
the benefit of adapting something to a different medium is you can throw in a quick line to fix inconsistency like this, they never do though.

>広く話されてた
いや、ごく一部の金持ちのエリートだけ、たぶんそれ以下。
当時のほとんどの人は読み書きすらできなかった。

>Widely spoken
No, only the 1% rich elite, probably less.
Most people couldn't even read and write back then.

広く話されてたってのは、ヨーロッパのどこに行ってもラテン語を話せる人が見つかったって意味だよ。全員が話せたわけじゃなくて、旅をする人や教育を受けた人なら話せた。カトリック教会が地元の言葉に関係なくラテン語で礼拝して、聖書もラテン語でしか印刷しなかったから、ヨーロッパの大部分で共通語の役割を果たしてたんだ。

>>25

Widely spoken as in you could find people who spoke Latin wherever you went in Europe. Not that every person spoke it, but anybody who traveled or was educated would speak it. It served as a universal language for much of Europe, due to the Catholic Church using it regardless of local languages for services and only printing bibles in Latin.

1. 巡礼者や小商人がみんなラテン語を知ってたと思ってるのか？
2. 自分で聖書を読むのがいいことだとされてたと思ってるのか？

>>26

1. you think every pilgrim and small time merchant knew latin?
2. you think it was considered a good thing to read the bible yourself?

>誰もラテン語を「話して」なかった
は？ 教会は話してたぞ。ミサはラテン語でやってた。古代ローマ人が話してた古典ラテン語じゃないけど、それでもれっきとした言語だった。聖職者はラテン語を話せたし、実際話してたし、書いたものも山ほどある。

>Also, no one “spoke” Latin
Lol? The church did. Mass was held in Latin. It wasn't classical Latin, such as what the Romans spoke in antiquity, but it was still a complete language. The clergy absolutely could and did speak in Latin, and wrote in it, voluminously.

唱えてただけだし、話し手によって発音もばらばらだった。何より、ただの形式で、誰も理解してなかった。
イングランドでラテン語を書ける人が、スペインの同じ立場の人とラテン語で会話はできなかった。書いたものならお互い簡単に理解できたのにな。

>>28

They recited, and they pronounced it differently depending on who was speaking, and most importantly, it was just for show and no one could understand it.

Someone who could write in Latin in England wouldn't be able to hold a conversation in it with his counterpart in Spain, even though both could easily understand each other's writing.

>イングランドでラテン語を書ける人が、スペインの同じ立場の人とラテン語で会話はできなかった
まったくの間違い。イングランドの司祭は、スペインでもイタリアでもどこの司祭とでも、ラテン語で間違いなく話せた。読み書きだけでラテン語を覚えた一般人なら無理だったかもしれないけど、教会は？ 間違いなく話せた。何百年も新入りにラテン語を教えてきたんだから。

>>29

>>Someone who could write in Latin in England wouldn't be able to hold a conversation in it with his counterpart in Spain
This is totally false. A priest in England would absolutely be able to speak with a priest in Spain, or Italy, or anywhere else, in Latin. A layman who only learned Latin through reading and writing, perhaps not, but the church? Absolutely. They had been teaching Latin to initiates for hundreds of years.

ヨーロッパでは、古典文学を読まずに教育を受けることはできなかった。古典文学ってのは古典時代、つまりホメロスとかの昔のギリシャの詩人の時代に書かれたもののこと。だから古代の言葉を学ぶついでに、ギリシャ（とローマ）の神話にも自然と詳しくなったんだ。

You could not receive an education in Europe without reading classical literature, which meant stuff written in the Classical Age, the time of Homer and other Greek poets of old. So you became familiar with Greek (and Roman) myths simply as a byproduct of learning ancient languages.

この作品がそんなに後の時代とは思えないな。
建物も服も漢の時代っぽい雰囲気だ

>>31

I doubt this show takes place so later on
Their architecture and clothing gives me han era vibes

1500〜1600年だから明だよ

>>32

It's 1500/1600 so Ming

>建物も服も漢の時代っぽい
全然、全然違う。

>>32

>Their architecture and clothing gives me han era vibes
You are way, way off.

根拠は？

>>34 >>33

Evidence?

玉葉妃も厳密には西方の白人女性ってことにならない？ 赤毛で緑の目だし

Isn't Gyokuyou technically also a white lady from the West since he is a ginger with green eyes?

玉葉妃は茘の西の出身。同じ国だよ。異国の血が入ってるだけ。ここの訳を間違えて、文字どおりの外国人みたいに読めちゃったんだと思う。

>>36

Gyokuyou is from western Li. The same country. She just has foreign blood. I think they mistranslated this part and implied she was a literal foreigner.

「国」は地方って意味にもなるけど、いちばん普通は国家の意味だから、間違えたのは責められないな

>>37

国 can mean region but most commonly means country so I can't really blame them for getting it wrong

前の回のことすっかり忘れたんだけど、なんであの真珠の涙を流す美女だか何だかを見る必要があったんだっけ？ なんで壬氏が立って舞を披露しなきゃいけなかったの？

I completely forgot from last episode, but what is the reason again they needed to see the pearl crying beauty or whatever? Like for what reason did he need to stand up and perform there?

昔ここを訪れたおじいさんが大げさに語ってたから、その人に会いたがったんだよ。まさかおばあちゃんを見せるわけにもいかないから、あの時の場面を再現したってわけ。

>>39

Their grandfather made a big deal about it after he visited in the past so they wanted to meet the person. They couldn't exactly show off a granny, so they recreated the moment.

その人がもう年寄りになってるって、本人たちは気づかなかったのか？
すごいな。

>>40

They themselves didn't realize this person would be old now?
Wow.

じゃあはっきり教えてくれ。日本でこれ読んでるのって実際どんな人？

give it to me straight then, fellow anon, who actually reads this s**t in japan

女性がめちゃくちゃ多い。男もいくらか。

>>42

Lots and lots of women. Some men.

>『東京リベンジャーズ』『銀魂』『ゴールデンカムイ』の読者はもっと女性寄り
これは今後の言い合いに使えるな

>>43

>The audience of Tokyo revengers, gintama, Golden Kamuy are even more tilted to female public
Lel, for future arguments.

それは古い版。新しい調査だと薬屋はほぼ80%が女性だ。

>>42 >>43

That's the old version. A new version of the survey has Kusuriya at almost 80% female.

俺は脳が女なのかもな。あっちの側のほうがずっといい作品がそろってる

>>45

I guess I have a female brain because their side has far better titles

>あ、ちなみに女は薬を作っちゃいけないんだよ、今までずっと大目に見てあげてただけ
え、何だって？ 前から堂々と薬師って呼ばれてなかったか？ 猫猫はずっと、自分の仕事が違法だって知らないままだったのか？

>oh btw women aren't allowed to make medicine, we were just giving you a free pass the entire time

Sorry, what? Didn't people openly call her an apothecary before? Has she spent this entire time unaware that her profession was illegal?

うん、あれは大きな後付け設定に感じた。

>>47

Yeah that felt like a big retcon.

後宮は毒に詳しい女を置きたくないんだよ。そうじゃないと、毒を盛られた妃と山ほどの容疑者を抱えることになる。
ねこねこは都合よく見逃されてただけ。

>>47

the inner court doesn't want ladies who know their way around poisons, or else you end up with poisoned concubines and a whole lot of suspects.
meowmeow was being conveniently overlooked.

問題は方針の理由じゃなくて、今までなぜか一度も話に出てこなかったことなんだよ。

>>49

The reasoning of the policy isn't really the problem so much as the fact that it somehow never came up at all until now.

>魔女の火あぶりは当たり前だった
この使い古された俗説、いい加減やめにしない？

>Witch burnings were common

Can we please drop this overused myth already?

宗教改革のころには実際やってたし、ヨーロッパの戦争が本格的に火薬を取り入れたのもそのころだ

>>51

They did do that during the reformation and that's when european warfare really embraced gunpowder

そうだな、火あぶりにされたのは異端者だった。

>>51

Indeed, they were burning of heritics.

お気に入りの妃を選べ！

Pick your consort!

どうやったらこんなハーレムが手に入るんだ

>>54

how do i get a harem like this

中国の皇族に生まれて、兄弟を皆殺しにする。

>>55

Be born into Chinese royalty and kill all your brothers.

このアニメ化は、おしろいの毒の件以降、いい場面をことごとく台無しにしてる。分かりにくい筋をわざわざ直そうともしない。むしろ欠点を、特にキャラの欠点を目立たせてる。がっかりしてない？

This adaptation has fumbled all the best scenes after the lightening powder poisoning. It doesn't bother to fix the unintelligible plot points. It actually highlights the flaws especially with the characters. Do you feel disappointed with it?

>分かりにくい筋をわざわざ直そうともしない
？

>>57

>It doesn't bother to fix the unintelligible plot points.
?

どこが台無しなんだよ？

>>57

In what way is this fumbled?

>人口の99%より教養があって、周りは美女だらけの、わりと快適な暮らしができる
>ただしアレを切られる
やるべき？

>l get to live a life of relative comfort being more educated than 99% of people and surrounded by beautiful women 99%
>they chop your d**k off
Should you?

外廷の普通の官僚より格下の仕事なんじゃないの？ そっちを選べるなら、そっちに行くだろ。

>>60

isn't it like a lower grade of work than being a normal kanryou in the outer court? if you have the option to go there, you go there.

なんででっかいハエたたきを持ってるんだ

why is she carrying a giant flyswatter

ついに魔法少女になるのか。

>>62

She's finally becoming a magical girl.

もともと魔法少女だっただろ

>>63

She was already a magical girl

漫画ってどこまで進んでるの？ なんで2種類あるの？

How far along is the manga? Why are there two of them?

絵がきれいなほうは、アニメの最終章になる部分にちょうど入るところ。

>>65

The one with the better art is about to cover what will be the last arc of the anime.

じゃあアニメは漫画をもとに作ってて、今期のあとは足踏みになるってこと？

>>66

I suppose the anime is adapting the manga and will be in limbo after this season then?

そう。科学の殺人ミステリーじゃないときは女性向けドラマだ

yes. whenever it's not a science murder mystery it's josei drama

>女性向けドラマ
実際は青年漫画だよ

>>68

>josei drama
Actually it's seinen

またこのくだらない言い合いかよ。ほんの2スレ前にやったばっかりだぞ

>>68 >>69

God we had this stupid s**t argument literally 2 threads ago

でも青年誌で連載されてるんだぞ。なんで少女誌じゃないんだ？

>>70

But it's published in a seinen magazine. Why not a shoujo magazine?

何だよ、この世でいちばん美しい男に自分を重ねられないのか？

What, you can't self-insert as the most beautiful man alive?

俺は皇帝に自分を重ねてる。

>>72

I self-insert as the emperor.

あの人まだほとんどしゃべってないのに、もう最高にかっこいい。

>>73

That man barely even spoke so far, and yet he's beyond based.

いや、あの人見てると嫉妬して自分が情けなくなる

>>72

No he makes me feel jealous and inadequate

「薬を作ってることは誰にも知られないようにしろ」
文字どおり次の場面：誰かが猫猫が薬を作ってるって見抜く…..

'make sure no on else finds out you're making medicine'
literally next scene: someone guesses maomao is making medicine.....

猫猫の顔がアップになったとき、次は「薬を作ってる最中に誰かが部屋に入ってくる」場面だって確信してた。バレるまでのRTA any%。

When the zoom was on Maomao's face I was sure the next scene will be 'someone enters her room while she's making medicine'. Busted speedrun any%.

次は脱獄編

prison break arc next

官能本は流れ続けねばならぬ
――天子、たぶん

The porn must flow
-The Son of Heaven, probably

「他の本は刺激が足りないのだ」

“The other books weren’t spicy enough”

「刺激たっぷりの本の入手先を知っているのは、我が売人だけらしい」

"Only my drug dealer seems to know where to get the extra spicy books"

で、看守は、羅漢がすでに猫猫を脱獄させてたと気づいて、そのせいでみんなが新たな問題を山ほど抱える。

Warden then discovers Lakan has already busted her out of jail and now everyone got a new slew of problems due to that.

牢屋に逆戻り

Back to jail

壬氏「よし、言い直そう。のんびりしたおばあさん以外には、薬を作ってることを知られないようにしろ」

Jinshi: "Okay, let me clarify, make sure no one who isn't a chill old lady finds out you're making medicine."

あのおばあさんは怪しくなさそうだったけど、まだ信用してない。次の回ではっきりするだろうな。もうちょっとドラマを入れるにはうってつけの場面だし。

The old lady didn't seem suspicious but I don't trust her yet. Next episode we'll know for sure. This would be a good spot to introduce some more drama.

あの人が告げ口して何の得があるのか分からない。医学に興味のある大人の女性なのに、男女の決まりごとのせいでそれ以上役に立てない立場なんだよ。「私はつらい思いをしたんだから、あなたもそうあるべき」って、分をわきまえない女を嫌う意地悪なキャラにはしないでほしい。まあ、ドラマを入れるには完璧な状況なんだけど。

I struggle to see what she would gain from snitching. She's a mature woman interested in medicine who's not allowed to be more useful because of gender norms. I really hope they don't make her a "woe is me and so should you too" sour character that dislikes women trying to do what they shouldn't. Then again, it would be a perfect situation for drama.

猫猫「あの毒殺の黒幕はまだ分からないけど…」
次の場面「あら、ここには薬を作っちゃいけない医療係がいる場所が他にもあったのね」

Maomao: We still don't know who was behind that poisoning...
Next scene: Oh I didn't know there was another place here with medical staff who aren't allowed to make medicine

文字どおり「今になって言う？」って感じ。は？
猫猫が一緒にいた人たちにとっては、薬を作るのは大したことじゃなかったのは分かる。でもこの話の舞台を考えたら、知っておくべき大事なことに思える。

It's literal you waited until now to tell me? Tf.
I get that with the people she was around, her making medicine wasn't a big deal. This feels like an important thing to be aware of given setting of this story.

猫猫にとって「本当ならもう知ってるはずだったんだけど」って面もあると思う。壬氏も、最初に連れてこられたときに一通り説明されてたはずだって言ってたし。

I suspect it's also a bit of "you probably should have known this already" for Maomao. Jinshi did note that she was supposed to have been shown everything when she was originally brought in.

壬氏に買われたときにも、薬は作っちゃいけないって言われてたよね。

She was also told when Jinshi bought her that she couldn’t make medicine.

猫猫に好きなことを平和にやらせてくれる日は永遠に来ないのね

we can never let Maomao go about her craft in peace

文字どおり、手がかぶれて呪われたと思い込んでた人に薬を作ってやってたよな…いろんな色の炎を見せながら…😑今さらすぎる

Literally, she made a medicine for the guy who had rash in his hands who tought he was cursed...while showing him multiple fire of colors...😑bit too late

この作品の語り口に初めてひびが入った気がする。「ちなみに今まで言ってなかったけど、薬づくりは全部こっそりやるのがめちゃくちゃ大事だから。医者とつるんで、私からもいろいろ作るよう頼まれてたあいだ、わざわざ言わなかったけど」
いかにも「何か起こしたいけど、どうつなげばいいか分からないから、きっかけになる事件を無理やりひねり出そう」って感じ

Feels like one of the first cracks in the story telling of this show. "BY THE WAY we never mentioned it but it's super important you do all your medicine making in secret, we never bothered to mention it while you hung out with the Doctor and were asked to make various things, by me."
Very obvious "I want to have something happen, but not sure how to get there, I'll just ass pull an inciting incident here"

トルコ語のネイティブとして言うと、あの人たちはトルコ語を話してる。ただ声優の発音はかなりひどかった。「これは一体何？ どこに行ったの？ じゃあ誰なの？」みたいなことまで言ってる。それにアイラとアイリンっていう名前はトルコの名前。服装もどのみちオスマンの服だし。オスマン帝国からの使節に違いない。

As a native Turkish speaker, I say that they speak Turkish, but the va's pronunciation of the words was pretty bad. They even say, "What the hell is this? Where did go? So who is?" And in addition, the names Ayla and Aylin are Turkish names. Their clothes are Ottoman clothes anyway. They must be ambassadors from the Ottoman Empire.

だから、あの人たちならディアナが月の女神だって分かったんだろうね。

So they probably would have understood Diana as a moon goddess.

ついでにアイラとアイリンって名前のことも教えとく。どちらも「アイ」で始まるけど、「アイ」はトルコ語で月のこと。
俺の説だと、この子たちの名前は、おじいさんが見た月の女神にちなんで付けられたのかも。だから自分の名前の由来の月の女神を見たがったのかもしれない。まあ、ただの俺の説だけど。

Let me even give you some information about the names Ayla and Aylin. The names Ayla and Aylin start with "Ay". "Ay" means moon in Turkish.
According to my theory, maybe these girls' names were given because of the moon goddess their grandfather saw. And that's why the girls may have wanted to see the moon goddess, the source of their name. But that's just my theory.

月の精が誰だったにせよ、もうかなりの年寄りになってることは分かってたはず。だから月の女神を見たい本当の理由は、おじいさんを口実にしてライバルを偵察することなんだと思う。要は「この国でいちばん美しい女を見せろ」って要求だから、皇帝の妃たちが引っぱり出される可能性も十分あった。もちろん、自分たちより美しい人がいるなんて思ってもいなかった。で、がっかりだって口にすれば、鏡と同じで、それ自体がひとつの主張になる。

They know whoever the moon spirit was would already be very old. So, I think the main reason they want to see the moon goddess, using their grandfather as an excuse, is to get a peak at their competitors. The request boils down to "show us your most beautiful woman", which means the emperor consorts could have a good chance of being involved. But of course they didn't think anyone would be more beautiful than them. Then when they expressed they're let down , it'd be making a statement, just like the mirrors.

あ、なるほど！ なまりはたぶんあんまり上手じゃないんだろうなと思ってた。速度を落として聞いても、何語のつもりなのかはっきり分からなかった。でも、ファンタジーのオスマンをこの作品に取り込んでるのはなかなか面白いね。

Ah! I see. I imagine the accent wasn’t going to be very good. I tried to slow it down and still couldn’t quite place what it was suppose to be. That’s kind of neat they’re incorporating Fantasy Ottomans into this series though.

「時に、ベストガールになれるのは本物の男だけ」を思い出せ

Remember "Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl"

「薬を作ってることは誰にも知られるな」
文字どおり10秒後
「あの侍女、薬を作ってるんでしょう？」
うーん、次の回はちょっと波乱がありそう

"Don´t let anyone know you´re making medicine"
literally 10 seconds later
"That maid is making medicine is it?"
Man it seems next episode is gonna be a little dramatic

「あの子は医者の助手で掃除も手伝ってるから、薬の匂いがするんです」

"She's the doctor's assistant and helps keep the place clean, that's why she smells like medicine"

それが筋の通った返しだと思うけど、たぶんそうはならないんだろうな

That's the logic response I think we're not gonna get

玉葉妃の侍女の誰かが、嘘がめちゃくちゃ下手ってのは十分ありえるけどな。

I can totally believe that one of Gyokuyou's hand-maidens would be an atrocious liar though.

そのあとに「どっちのマオマオのことかは言ってませんけど」ってオチXD

Followed by "I never said which Maomao I was talking about" XD

皇帝自身が、猫猫が薬師だって知ってるんだぞ。梨花妃を治す役目を直々に与えたくらいだ。猫猫が困ったことになる筋の通った理由なんて無い。

Emperor himself knows that Maomao is an apothecary. He even personally gave her the task to cure Lady Lihua. There's no logical reason why Maomao should be in any trouble.

むしろ、猫猫がこれだけいろいろやってきたあとで、今になって問題になるほうがよっぽど変だよ。

If anything, it's very weird for this to be a problem only now, after everything Maomao has done already.

考えられるのは、上の役人じゃなくて他の働き手との間で揉めるってことくらいかな。診療所の女の人たち、それにたぶん間者が、猫猫を脅威と見て、狙い撃ちで動き始めるかもしれない。これまでは、医者と壬氏が組んで問題に対処してると思われてたんだろうし

The only thing I can think of is that this wouldn’t cause trouble with admin but with other workers. The clinic girls, and probably spies, could view her as a threat and start maneuvering against her specifically. Before, they probably assumed the doctor and Jinshi were tag-teaming the problems coming up

公平に言うと、猫猫は梨花妃に薬を作ったわけじゃない。侍女たちに毒を盛るのをやめさせて、ちゃんと食べさせて、蒸し風呂を作らせただけ。
でもまあ、こんなくだらない決まりで皇帝が猫猫を罰させるとは思えない。

To be fair, Maomao never made any medicine for Lihua. She got her maids to stop poisoning her, fed her correctly, and had a sauna built.
But yeah, doubt the Emperor would allow her to be punished for a nonsense rule.

小蘭がいると、猫猫はずっと温かくて優しくなるよね。最初の2話で3回も小蘭を抱きしめてたのに加えて、話すときはいつも笑顔。壬氏には夢のまた夢だねｗ

Maomao becomes so much warmer and more affectionate in presence of Xiaolan. Aside from the fact that Maomao hugged her three times in first two episodes, she's smiling every time she talks to her. Jinshi can only dream lol.

猫猫にとって小蘭は妹みたいなもの。一方で壬氏は……しつこく付きまとってくる、ときどき子どもっぽい、アレの無い宮廷の役人。でも少なくとも、たまに面白い事件や薬草を持ってきてくれる。

To Maomao Xiaolan is like a little sister to her, while Jinshi...is the dickless sometimes immature palace official who won't leave her alone but at least occasionally brings her interesting cases and herbs.

緑青館で育って、周りの女性たちに育てられたようなものだから、猫猫はほかの女の子と姉妹みたいな絆を結ぶのが簡単なんだろうね。だから、血のつながりや家族関係がないと姉妹とは思えないって考え方は、この国の普通の人より猫猫自身にとってのほうが馴染みが無いんだと思う（血のつながった兄弟姉妹を見て変だと思うって意味じゃなくて、自分に血のつながった兄弟姉妹がいるって考えのほうがね）

Must be easy for Maomao to find Sisterhood with other girls, seeing as she grew up in the verguis house and were basically raised by the women around there, therefore the notion that blood or familiaral relations needed to considered eachother sisters would be more foreign to herself (in her own mind, not as in seeing two siblings that are related by blood would be weird to her, but rather the idea of herself having an actual blood related sibling) rather than the usual individual of the empire

養女だってことも大きいよね。まあ、遠い親戚なのはみんな知ってるけど、猫猫にとっておやじはただの「おやじ」だし、2人とも一族からは追放されたも同然。おやじは猫猫を引き取らなくてもよかったのに、引き取った。実の母親は猫猫を見るのも耐えられなかったから、母親にいちばん近い存在は結局白鈴になった。猫猫の家族は自分で選んだ家族で、人を寄せつけない猫みたいに振る舞ってても、自分が「引き取った」相手とのスキンシップには案外オープン。それに小蘭の妹力は桁外れｗ 妹そのものの形をしてる

It also helps that she's adopted. Like sure, we know they're distantly related, but it's clear that Maomao considers her dad JUST her dad, and they both are as good as exiled from the clan as a whole anyway. Her dad didn't have to adopt her, but he did. Her bio mother couldn't stand the sight of her, so instead Pairin ended being the closest thing to a mom Maomao got. Maomao's family is a chosen one and as much as she acts like a stand-offish cat she's pretty open to physical affection with/from those she "adopts". Also Xiaolan's meimei powers are off the charts lmao she's little sister-shaped

今回のベストガールは壬氏で決まり。映像も音楽も美しかった。

Jinshi has established himself as best girl for this episode. Beautiful visuals & OST.

皇帝とのちょっとしたやり取りが好き。「私が女装することが不可欠なのです」

I love the little talk he had with the emperor: "it's imperative that I must crossdress"

ベストガールになるには男が要る

It takes a man to be best girl

壬氏の舞は最高だった！
アイラとアイリンはきっと将来の子どもたちに月の精の話を聞かせるだろうから、あの国が次の使節を送ってきたら、また真珠の涙を流す美女に会わせてくれって頼まれるに決まってるXD

Jinshi's performance was great!
I'm pretty sure Ayla and Aylin will tell their future kids the story about the moon fairy, so when that country send the next envoys, there will definitely be another request for the beauty who sheds pearls as tears xD

あの舞はほかの人たちからも本気で隠さなきゃいけなかったんだね。前の回のスレで、猫猫が前に（1期だっけ？）言ってた「壬氏が女の格好をしたところは誰にも見せちゃいけない、国が傾くから」（だったかな）って話が出てたけど、あれ本気だったんだ。

They really had to hide his performance from the rest of the people too, people in the previous episode thread was mentioning Maomao's earlier comment (from season 1?) that "no one should ever see him dressed up as a woman because it would tear the nation apart" (or something like that), and I guess they are actually serious about that.

壬氏がこの国でいちばん美しい女性だって証明しちゃったな。

Jinshi just proved that he's the most beautiful woman in this country.

その頃の高順「この子を育てる手伝いをしてきたのに、その子を女にしてしまった。思うところがある……」

Meanwhile Gaoshun: "I helped raise this boy and I just turned him into a woman. I have...thoughts."

「なんであんなに似合ってたんだ？」――たぶん高順

"Why did he look so damn good?" - Gaoshun, probably
