【海外の反応】薬屋のひとりごと1期22話、「男一人をイラつかせるためだけに、あれだけの手間」

最初の2話を見たけど、自分には面白くなかった。ずっと同じことの繰り返し？それとも急に話が動いて状況が変わるような展開ってある？

I watched the first two episodes and it wasn't interesting to me. Does it keep doing the same thing or do any sudden plot developments that change things ever occur?

あるよ。3話で主人公がチートスキル持って異世界転生して、今はちょうど魔王と勇者をハーレムに勧誘してる真っ最中だ

>>1

Yeah, MC gets isekai'd with a cheat skill in the third episode and is just in the middle of recruiting the Demon Lord and Hero to her harem.

毎週の毒殺事件が楽しめなかったなら、「設定」回はもっと楽しめないぞ

I want to buy Xiaolan a kigurumi.

小蘭を買いたい！

I want to buy Xiaolan!

小蘭かわいい！

Xiaolan a cute!

1話からずっと友達だろ

She's been her friend since episode 1.

猫（kot）を寝かせてやれ

Let the kot sleep

kotはオス猫だっての。意味の分かってない言葉を使うなよ

>>9

Kot is male cat ffs. Stop using words you don't understand.

じゃあkotの女性形はなんて言うの？ポーランド語を1年やってみたけど、格変化を使い始めたら地獄だった

>>10

What's the female declination of kot? I tried one year of polish and its hell when you start applying those.

疲れてるみたいだな

>>9

She looks tired

家族団らんの時間だ

Its time for some family bonding

漫画と同じで象棋（シャンチー）の駒か。
小説だと将棋の駒なんだよな

>>13

Xiangqi pieces like the manga.
In the LN they're shogi pieces

いい改変だ

>>14

Good change

なんだよこの作画の落ち具合。残りの予算を最後の数話のために取っておいてるんだといいけど

>>13

What a f*****g downgrade, hopefully they are saving all the money left on these last episodes

どこが落ちてるって？

>>16

What downgrade?

せめて来週は

Next week at least

たぶん泣く

>>18

I will probably cry

青い薔薇って、何か変態的なプレイの隠語なんだよな？

so blue rose is slang for some perverted sexual act right?

青い薔薇は神秘とか、手の届かないものの象徴だよ

>>20

Blue roses symbolize mystery or the unattainable

小蘭の笑顔…

Xiaolan's smile...

何やってんだよ、子供にキノコのことを教えるなんて（小蘭には冬虫夏草のことを）…

what is she doing, /a/, teaching a child about mushrooms (and xiaolan about cordyceps)...

鈴麗の将来はたぶん外国との政略結婚で、信頼できる人たちから離れることになる。毒のある植物を教えておけば命拾いするかもしれない

>>36

Well done noticing. It's a fake monocle just for appearances

子供にキノコのことを教えて何が悪いんだよ。教えてあげただけなのに、ねこねこがはたかれる筋合いはなかった

what's wrong with teaching kids about mushrooms, catcat did not deserve to get slapped for educating her

で、なんでみんなこんなに簡単に毒を盛られるんだろうって不思議がるわけだ

>>38

Then they wonder why people get poisoned so easily

これって最終的には猫猫と壬氏の恋愛になるんだよな？今の時点でもあいつのことをギリギリ我慢してるって感じなのに、どうやったらそうなるのか想像できない

So this eventually ends up in a romance between Maomao and Jinshi, right? I just don't see how that happens cause even at this point, she barely tolerates the dude.

なんでアニメは、壬氏があの儀式の場にいて、猫猫に命を救われたことを完全にスルーしてるんだ？
もちろん視聴者としては、壬氏がかなりの大物貴族だってことは推測できる（たぶん皇帝の息子か何かで、宦官じゃないのは確実）。
でもなんで誰一人として、あの件に触れないんだよ？
代わりに来たのが、羅漢の気まぐれな無茶振りのせいで始まった薔薇の穴埋め回って何なんだ？

Why the f**k is the show just completely glossing over the fact that Jinshi was present at that ritual and that his life was saved by Mao?
Of course, we as the audience can deduce that Jinshi is some big deal noble (probably the emperor's son or something and definitely not a eunoch).
But why isn't a single person commenting on what happened?
Instead, we get this f*****g filler rose episode just because of some random ass dare by Lakan?

触れるって何に？あいつはどう見てもずっと前からああしてたんだし、他の誰にとっても大した新事実じゃないだろ。
一方で猫猫は賢い猫だから、関わりたくないんだよ

>>41

Commenting on what? He's clearly been doing that for a while, so it's not like it was a big revelation for anyone else.
Meanwhile, the cat doesn't want to get involved because she's a smart cat.

なんか私に気があるっぽい
>アレが付いてることは見なかったことにしよう
>すごく偉い貴族だってことも見なかったことにしよう
>知ったら生きづらくなるし

>>42

He seems interested in me
>Let's pretend he doesn't have a d**k
>Let's pretend he isn't a very important noble
>Knowing these things would make my life harder

なんで猫猫の顔は見えるんだ？

>>13

Why can he see her face?

猫猫と母親は、羅漢の相貌失認の例外なんだよ

>>44

Maomao and her mother are exceptions to his prosopagnosia

>相貌失認
それって本当にそういう症状なの？それとも物の考え方の比喩みたいなもの？

>>45

>prosopagnosia
is he really sick with that or is it just a kind of metaphor for his thought process?

青い薔薇って何の意味があったの？ただの思いつきのお題？それとももっと深い意味がある？あと、そもそもなんで壬氏は引き受けたんだ？

What was the point of the blue roses? Was it just a random task or is there a deeper meaning to it? Also why did Jinshi even agree to it?

いつもの羅漢の引っかき回しだよ。壬氏に恥をかかせたかったけど失敗して、代わりに壬氏を他の高官たちからますます嫌われるように仕向けた。だから負けても結局は勝ってるんだ

>>47

Lakan s**t stirring as usual. He wanted to embarrass Jinshi, but failed and made him more unpopular with the rest of the high ranking court instead, so even when he loses he still wins.

青い薔薇は愛

>>47

Blue rose is love.

でもなんで？

>>45

But why?

愛の力

>>50

power of love

なんで指が黄色いんだ？
手づかみで何か食べてたのか？

Why are his fingers yellow?
Was he eating with his hands?

でもそれって毒は無くない？苦いから料理に使う前に茹でる必要があるだけで。中華もどきの国にしか無い地方品種の話なら別だけど

It's not poisonous though? It's just bitter and needs to be boiled before cooking with it. Unless they're speaking about some regional variant only found in notchina

生だと毒があるよ（消化器にかなりの刺激があって、たまに口に水ぶくれができる。ただ、たぶん命に関わる毒ではない）。でもちゃんと調理すれば毒は消えるし、そのために売ってる地域もある。簡単な調理法は2回茹でること。1回目の茹で汁は捨てて水を替え、2回目のあとも湯を捨てて、塩をふる

>>53

It's poisonous raw [spoiler]causing heavy irritation to the digestive system and occasionally blisters in the mouth, but at least not being a deadly poison most likely[/spoiler], but when cooked properly, which destroys the toxin, and in some places is sold for that purpose. The simple cooking for it is to boil it twice, throwing away and replacing the water after the first boil and then getting rid of the water after the second, and salt it.

切ったのはせいぜい指先だけだと思ってたけど、生えてくるのか？

I thought it was meant to only be the tip at most. Do they regrow?

あれは母親の指じゃないか？猫猫のほうは、あんたの言う通りほんの先っぽしか切ってないんだと思う

>>55

Isn't that the moms finger? I think you're right in that she only cut the very tip off of Maomao's

つまりこのクール全体のクライマックスは、芸術家同士の盤上対決ってこと？神回の予感しかしない

so the culmination of this entire cour is a chess battle between two artists? sounds like kino

それって確定してるの？2クールものだったし、それ以上の話数が予定されてたのかよく分からない

Is it confirmed? It was a double cour so I am not sure they had more episodes planned.

確定はしてないけど、アニメは成功して小説も漫画も売上が爆上がりしたから、続きが作られる可能性は高い。ただ今回みたいに2クールになるかは分からないな

>>58

Not confirmed but the anime was a success and skyrocketed the LN/Mangas sales, its has high chance of getting one but who knows if it would be a double cour like this one.

kotka（主格）
kotki（生格）
kotce（与格）
kotkę（対格）
kotkami（造格）
kotkach（前置格）
kotko！（呼格）
どういたしまして、この野郎

kotka (nominative)

kotkami (instrumental)
kotkach (locative)
kotko! (vocative)

you're welcome cunt

ありがとよ、クソが（kurwa）

>>60

Thank you kurwa.

そのkurwaにも格変化が要るかもしれないけど、気にすんな。呪われた言語だよ

>>61

And that kurwa might need declinations too, ignore it. Cursed language.

悪いけど、こんなのが実在する言語なわけない。書きながら適当に作ってるだろ？

>>60

I'm sorry but there's no way this is a real language. Are you just making this up as you go?

じゃあみんなで一緒に言おうぜ
お前の実力不足

>>63

now let's say it together

SKILL ISSUE

このアニメを本当に楽しんでるって言いたい。24話で終わったらすごく寂しくなるよ

Just want to say that I really enjoy this anime. I"ll be be really sad when this anime ends in episode 24.

小説を読め

>>65

read the LNs

分からないんだけど、羅漢は青い薔薇で何を仕掛けようとしてたんだ？なんで挑発は失敗したって言ってたの？
そもそもこいつの狙いは何なんだよ？

I don't get it, what was he trying to pull with the blue roses? Why did he say that his provocation failed?
What the f**k is this guy's plan anyway?

猫猫を取られたと思って壬氏を恨んでるから、恥をかかせたかったんだよ。青い薔薇は（少なくとも自然には）存在しないし、そもそも薔薇自体まだ季節じゃなかった。皇帝が青い薔薇を楽しみにしてたんだから、それを任されて用意できなかったら立場が悪くなる

>>67

To humiliate Jinshi because Lakan resents him for taking Maomao. Blue roses don't exists (at least naturally) and roses in general weren't in season yet. Since the Emperor was expecting blue roses, it would be bad for your standing if you were tasked with getting them and failing to do so.

皇帝が楽しみにしてたわけじゃないと思う。
羅漢が「ぜひ見てみたい」って壬氏に頼んだだけで、壬氏は羅漢を怒らせたくないから引き受けたんだよ

>>68

I don't think the emperor was expecting them.
Lakan just asked Jinshi because "he really wanted to see some" and Jinshi agreed because he'd rather not piss Lakan off.

OPの歌でそう言ってたから

>>67

because the OP song said so

頭がいい設定なのは分かるけど、この回はさすがにメアリー・スーすぎる。
>国中の花屋に青い薔薇のことを聞く
>誰も何のことだか分からない
>「私はただの薬屋なので」
>なのに季節外れに花を咲かせる方法も、赤くなくする方法も知ってる

I understand that she's supposed to be intelligent but this episode is just making her out to be such a mary sue.

>ask all the florists in china about a blue rose
>nobody knows what the f**k it is
>"im just an apothecary"
>but I still know how to make a flower bloom out of season and how to make it not red

色水で花を染めるなんて、子供の頃に一度見せてもらっただけでも一生覚えてるもんだろ。それに「夏の環境を再現して、花をだまして早く咲かせる」なんて、ちょっと頭を使えば誰でも思いつく

>>71

dying flowers with colored watet is something that sticks with you your whole life even if you were only shown how to do it once as a kid. and 'try to recreate a summer enviroment to trick flowers into blooming early' is something anybody could figure it with a bit of critical thinking

平民の下働きにしては、皇帝と直接話して知識を披露する機会がやたら多いよな。普通その身分なら、そんな機会はゼロ回だろ

For a peasant servant, she sure has had much more opportunities to talk directly with the emperor and share her knowledge than someone of her stature would usually have. Which is usually zero times.

皇帝は猫猫の能力を知ってて、直々に頼み事（命令）までしてるからな。
それに今回も、たぶん先に玉葉妃にこの機会をお願いしたんだろうし、玉葉妃は自分の子猫ちゃんが大好きだから

>>73

The emperor knows about her abilities and even personally asked (ordered) her to do stuff for him.
She also probably asked Gyokuyou for this specific opportunity first, and Gyokuyou loves her kitty cat.

羅漢が、猫猫がもっと小さかった頃に手下を使って取り戻さなかったのには理由があるの？
軍の最高幹部なんだから、妓楼を脅して言うことを聞かせるくらい簡単だったはずで、逆にやり込められるなんて思えないんだけど

Is there any reason why Lakan didn't use her goons to get Maomao back when she was a lot younger?
I'm under the impression that because he's literally on the military top brass, extorting a whorehouse to give him what he wanted would have been an easy task for him not the other way around.

爆笑、猫猫って負けず嫌いすぎる。分が悪くても、父親には絶対に屈しないんだな。
傷口が開いても、夜通し薔薇を見張って寝不足になっても止まらない。羅漢の気を散らして、ある女性を思い出させるためだけに、赤い爪紅を流行らせちゃうし。
あと小蘭の声優さんの演技がほんとに好き。すごく可愛くて、聞いてて落ち着く。ふとした声まで含めて、聞いてるだけで癒された

LMAO, Maomao is competitive as f**k. She ain't gonna bow down to her father even if the odds are stacked against her.
Her stitches being reopened and monitoring the roses overnight and losing sleep ain't stopping her. She even managed to start a fad of wearing red nail polish just for the sole purpose of distracting Lakan and remind him of a certain woman.
Also, I really love the voice acting of Xiaolan's VA. she sounded so cute and relaxing. I felt healed hearing her voice even the random sound she makes.

>羅漢の気を散らして、ある女性を思い出させるためだけに
今回の猫猫の狙いは、母親の面影で羅漢を揺さぶることだったのはかなりはっきりしてると思う。
そうなると疑問なのが、なんで羅漢がそれで動揺するのかってこと。前は元妓女の「値を下げた」ことを面白がってるように見えたのに。
あれは全部、自分を納得させるための強がりだったのか？でもそれならなんで、わざわざ自分から壬氏にその話をしたんだ？過去にいったい何があったんだよ！？まあ来週分かるんだろうな

just for the sole purpose of distracting Lakan and remind him of a certain woman.
I think it’s pretty clear that Maomao’s aim was to haunt Lakan with her mother’s image here.
Which begs the question: why would Lakan be bothered by this? He previously seemed rather amused with “devaluing” this former courtesan.
Was this all just a coping mechanism of his? But why would he take the initiative to tell Jinshi this then? What precisely happened in the past!? I guess, we’ll find out next week.

羅漢が碁石に見えなかったのは猫猫だけだった（壬氏も高順も駒に見えてたのに）。
たぶん母親も同じだったんだろうな。特に次回予告を見る限りは。予告の羅漢はかなり苦しんでるみたいだった

Maomao was the only person he didn't see as a Go piece (especially when Jinshi and Gaoshun both are).
Imagine the same was probably true for her mother, especially going by the next episode preview. Dude seemed pretty tortured in it.

厳密には、壬氏と高順は碁石じゃなくて象棋（シャンチー）の駒だったけどな。高順は「相」でだいたいビショップに相当、壬氏は「士」でクイーンに当たる駒

Technically Jinshi and Gaoshun weren't Go pieces, but Chinese Chess pieces. Gaoshun was a Xiang, approximately equal to a Bishop, whereas Jinshi was a Shi, or Queen analog.

クイーンのところで誰かが騒ぐ前に言っておくと、ここで使われてる「士」って字は、むしろ「アドバイザー」と訳すほうが近い。つまり壬氏は皇帝の側近中の側近で、信頼された腹心だってこと（実際そうだし）

Tho, before anyone makes a fuss about the Queen part, the chinese character used here 士 actually moreso translates to "Advisor" - so its saying Jinshi is one of the Emperor's top advisors and trusted confidants (which he is)

猫猫を駒として見てないってことは、指し手だと思ってるってことなんだろうな

If he doesn't see her as a piece it must mean he considers her to be a player.

>なんで羅漢がそれで動揺するのか
羅漢と猫猫の母親のあいだには、まだ俺たちの知らないもっと深い何かがあって、それがあの反応の説明になるんだと思う。うん、来週分かることを祈ってる

why would Lakan be bothered by this?
I’m pretty sure there is something deeper going on that we don’t know yet between Lakan and Maomao’s mother which would explain his reaction. Yea, fingers crossed we’ll find out next week.

小蘭の声優の久野美咲さん、大好きな声優の一人！どの役を演じても心地いいんだよな。日本語版のクレーも彼女のおかげで余計に可愛い！

Xiaolan’s VA Kuno Misaki is one of my favorites! Every role she plays feels comfy. JP Klee feels extra cute thanks to her too!

同感。声が高すぎるからあんまり好きじゃないって人も多いらしいし、正直、声優全体の中でも一番高い部類の声だと思う。でも自分は大好き。ほぼいつも、ああいう声がぴったりの役に配役されてるからね

Agreed, I heard a lot of people don’t really like her voice because it’s so high pitched, and to be fair she really does have one of the highest pitched voices of all VA’s imo. Personally I love it though since she is pretty much always well cast for roles where such a voice is actually really fitting.

フレデリカ（86）がフラッシュバックする

Frederica (86) flashbacks

それって楽しい思い出のフラッシュバック？それともトラウマのほう？自分は86の彼女は気にならなかったから、どっちか分からないw

Are those happy flashbacks or ptsd flashbacks? Personally I didn’t mind her in 86 so I can’t really tell lol.

ああ、ファプタの演技は本当に次元が違った。あの叫び声、泣き声…なんでまだ声が出るんだ？

yeah, the acting she did for Faputa was genuinely some next level s**t. the screams, the crys... how does she still have a voice?

猫猫は毒にしかやる気を出さないから、毒親に挑むのにワクワクしてるんだな。妙なことに、父親と同じように人を碁石みたいに使ってて、父親並みの策士になってる。しかもズルも辞さないしw
羅漢はシカマルみたいな盤上遊戯の達人っぽいから、勝つのは無理なはずだった。猫猫の母親は毎回どうやって勝ってたんだろう。猫猫みたいにズルしてたのかな？

Maomao is only motivated by poisons thats why she is excited to challenge her toxic dad. Weirdly enough she copied her father in using people as go pieces so she can be as manipulative as her father. And she is willing to cheat as well lol.
Lakan seems like an expert in go just like Shikamaru so it should have been impossible to defeat him. I wonder how Maomao's mom managed to beat him every time. Did she cheat just like Maomao?

小蘭が出てきた瞬間、マジで椅子から跳び上がった！昼休みが終わって仕事に戻る小蘭に猫猫が手を振ってた場面を覚えてるし、猫猫が身分のしがらみを気にせずに一緒にいられる唯一の相手って感じだった。二人で薔薇の作業をしてるのを見て笑顔になったよ。もっと小蘭との親友タイムをお願い！
追記：小蘭が植物に話しかけるのを忘れてた。いい子の中のいい子だし、守ってあげないと

I genuinely hopped up in my chair when I saw Xiaolan! I remember when Maomao waved to her when she had to go back to work from lunch and how she seemed like the one person Maomao could be around without needing to navigate the trappings of social class. The two of them working together on their rose project made me smile; more Xiaolan bestie time please!
EDIT: I forgot that Xiaolan speaks to plants. She's the sweetheart-est of sweethearts and needs to be protected.

猫猫は腹黒い策士だよな。怒りの矛先を向ける相手がいるときは特に。
久野美咲さんはいつも可愛い子を演じてる！

Maomao is a devious mastermind, especially when she has a target of her ire.
Misaki Kuno always voices cuties!

皇帝が猫猫に対して気さくなのがいいよね。染めた薔薇の仕組みを説明するのに、気軽に謁見させてもらってたし。梨花妃のことをますます大事に思ってて、猫猫の助けに感謝してるんだろうな

I like how the Emperor has been cool with Maomao, given how she had a casual audience with him explaining how the dyed roses worked. He must be appreciating Lihua more and thankful for Maomao’s help.

ぱっと思いつくだけでも、猫猫は
皇帝の娘の命を救い、
皇帝の愛する人の命を救い、
皇帝の弟（もしかしたら息子）の命を救い、
そして皇帝の夜の生活をずっと楽しくした

I mean, just of the top of my head, Maomao,
Saved his daughter's life,
Saved his lover's life,
Saved his younger brother/possibly son's life,
And made his s*x life far more fun.

うわ、そう言われると…猫猫って皇帝なのでは？

F**k when you word it like that is.. is MaoMao the emperor?

国のためにこれだけのことをしてきたんだし、いっそ皇帝にでもしちゃえばいいのにw

for all the things she did for the country might as well they have made her one or something. LOL

最低でも、皇帝は猫猫を後宮の正式な医官にすると思う。もう妃全員と関わってるし、医者が一人しかいないと大問題になるってことは、皇帝自身が身をもって知ってるからな

At minimum I'd expect the emperor to make her an official doctor for the Inner Palace. She's already worked with all the concubines and bro knows first hand that having only one doctor can cause major problems.

これはつまり、猫猫が「デートの夜」に乱入してるってこと

That's Maomao barging into "date night".

羅漢は顔こそ見えなかったけど、あのとき壬氏の衣の紋章は見てたはず。そう考えると、あの「ちょっと待て」って顔にも余計に納得がいく…

Lakan didn't see a face, but I can bet he saw the crest on Jinshi's robe back then. Justifies his "hold the bloody phone" expression even more...

猫猫を抱えてたのが皇帝なのか壬氏なのかすら、確信が無かったのかもな。
まあ、儀式を誰がやってたかは別の情報筋から知ってたんだろうけど

He might not even be sure whether it was the Emperor or Jinshi who was carrying Maomao.
Though he probably knew who was doing the ceremony from other information sources.

顔って扱いが難しいうえに（生き残るうえで）すごく重要だから、脳には顔の処理専用の領域（紡錘状回）があるんだよ。
紡錘状回を顔じゃなくてチェスの局面を認識するように鍛えたせいで、とんでもなく強くなったチェスプレイヤーっていなかったっけ？（当然、その代わりに人の顔が見分けにくくなった）

Faces are so difficult to deal with, and so important (from a survival perspective), that there is a region of the brain that is dedicated to processing them (the fusiform gyrus)
Wasn't there a chess player that was so stupidly good at the game because they trained their fusiform gyrus to recognize chess positions instead fo faces? (Leading of course, to having difficulty recognizing faces)

あいつは大嫌いだけど、他の役人の帽子で手と顔を拭くのがマウントじゃないなら、何がマウントなのか分からない

As much as I hate the dude, if wiping your hands and face with another official's hat isn't a power move I don't know what is.

しかも皇帝の前でな。羅漢に逆らえる奴は誰もいない

While in the presence of the emperor. No one really fucks with Lakan.

指をあの人の帽子で拭いたのはさすがにぶっ飛んでた。拭かれたほうも、笑顔のままされるがままだったし

Him wiping his fingers on the guys hat was so out of pocket. The dude really just let him with a smile on his face.

あの瞬間に「気持ち悪いおっさん」から「憎めない嫌な奴」に変わった

It was at that point he goes from "creepy f**k" to "you have to love to hate this guy."

羅漢の右隣の人が笑いをこらえてるっぽかったのが好き

I did like that the guy to the right of Lakan seemed to be holding in laughter.

あの碁石頭はかなり不気味だったけど、羅漢が人をどう見てるのかがよく分かった。あいつにとっては何もかもがゲームなんだな、人間関係まで含めて。
でも猫猫の顔ははっきり見えてるんだから、娘には、ひいてはその母親には何か違うところがあるのかって気になる

Those go piece heads were pretty unsettling, but it explains a lot about how he views and sees people. It's all basically a game to him, even human relationships.
Though it does make you wonder if there's something different about his daughter, and by extension her mother, given he sees Maomao's face clearly.

羅漢があの爪にイラついたのは、無意識に猫猫の母親を思い出させられて、「人間はみんなただの碁石だ」っていう思い込みが崩されたからじゃないの？最後のほうでそう匂わせてたように見えた

Wasn’t Lakan irritated by those nails because they subconsciously reminded them of Maomao’s mother, which killed his delusion that all people were just a bunch of Go pieces. This seemed to be implied right at the end.

思い込みじゃないよ、顔が見分けられないんだ

It's not a delusion, he's face blind.

羅漢が唯一気に入ってた爪は、猫猫の母親と同じものだったらしいから、それでイラついたんだよ

He was irritated because it sounds like the only nails he actually liked were the same kind as Maomao's mother.

猫猫は女官たちの爪をみんなくすんだ赤に［塗らせて］いて、それがたぶん羅漢に猫猫の母親を思い出させたんだと思う。でもその爪はどこか違ってた。そこへ猫猫が鮮やかな赤い爪で現れたわけだ。
追記：一か所直した（［］のところ）

Maomao had made it so that all the ladies’ nails were [painted] in a dull colour of red, which likely reminded Lakan of Maomao’s mother - those nails weren’t quite right. And that’s when Maomao came in with the vibrantly red nails.
EDIT: Made a correction (see brackets).

羅漢がときどき片眼鏡をかける目を入れ替えるのって、どういう意味なんだろう…

I’m not sure what it means when he switches the eye that uses the monocle every now and then…

この回についての作者のコメントを読んだら、片眼鏡はただの飾りで、鼻の上で動かせて左右どちらにも付け替えられる作りになってるらしい。
羅漢はこの片眼鏡を作れる職人を探すのに苦労したんだとか

Just read from the author note about this episode that the monocle is just for show and is designed to be movable on the nose and can be switched between left and right.
Lakan had a hard time to find a craftsman to create this monocle.

この作品は猫猫のいろんな表情で状況を伝えるのが本当にうまい。今回の新しい顔は、仕事がどれだけしんどかったかを物語ってた

This series really has a way to convey situations via Maomao's various expressions, with this new one being how exhausting her job was.

羅漢の気まぐれのせいで猫猫と壬氏は眠れない夜を過ごす羽目に…猫猫がようやく自分なりのやり方でやり返してくれてよかった

Lakan making Maomao and Jinshi undergo sleepless nights for his whims...glad to see Maomao finally striking back in her own way.

すごくゴールデンカムイっぽい

Very Golden Kamuy

男一人をイラつかせるためだけに、あれだけの手間

All that work just to tilt a man.

羅漢をじっと見据えて挑む猫猫の死んだ目、ゾクッとする。それでこそ我らが毒娘だ💪🏻（あと小蘭と梨花妃も出てきた。会いたかったよ）

Maomao’s dead eyes staring and daring Lakan is very chilling. That’s our poison maiden 💪🏻 (Also, we have Xiaolan and Lihua sighting. I missed them)

あいつをイラつかせて目を痛めつけるためだけに、後宮で新しい流行を作っちゃうところが好き

I like the fact she set a new trend inside the palace just to annoy him and hurt his eyes.

猫猫は種を提供しただけの父親にようやく仕返しするために、ついでに女官たちに素敵なネイルもしてあげながら、長期戦を仕掛けてたわけだ。こういうのが見たかった！

Maomao was playing the long game all for the purpose of finally getting payback against her sperm donor while also giving some ladies nice manicures. You love to see it!

玉葉妃もすごく好きだけど、正直、妃の中では梨花妃が一番かもしれない。本当に愛らしいくらい純粋で優しいんだよな。
猫猫が梨花妃にあの本を贈るちびキャラの場面は、見ててほんとに顔がほころんだ。しばらく梨花妃のああいう場面が恋しかったんだ

I’m very fond of Gyokuyou too, but Lihua might honestly be my favourite consort out of the bunch. She’s just so adorably innocent and kind.
That chibi scene of Maomao gifting her this book genuinely brought a smile to my face. It’s exactly those types of moments with Lihua that I’d been missing for some time.

梨花妃は好きだし、すごくいい形で挽回して、心を入れ替えたと思う
でも玉葉妃をはたき倒したこともあったからな（大変な時期だったのは分かるけど、それでも…最初はちょっとプライドが高すぎたと思う）

I do like Lady Lihua, I think she's been redeemed very well, and had a good change of heart
But she did slap Lady Gyokuyou to the ground (I know it was a stressful time, but still... I think she started off a bit too proud)
