【海外の反応】薬屋のひとりごと2期3話（第27話）、「猫猫の変人っぷりは誰にも真似できない」

なんでフタコブラクダじゃなくてヒトコブラクダを出したんだ？

Why did they show a Dromedary and not a Bactrian Camel?

冬虫夏草
冬は虫。
夏は草。

冬虫夏草
Winter is the worm.
Summer is grass.

これ一体何に使うんだよ

>>3

What the hell are these things for

冬虫夏草の虫には何百もの種類がある。
で、特に薬にするのに使われるのが
Cordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc.
腎を補ったり、肺の咳みたいな病気を治したりするのに使われる。

>>4

There are hundreds of different bugs in this Cordyceps.
And the ones that are specifically used to make medicine are
Cordyceps sinensis ( BerK.) Sacc.
It is used to tonify the kidneys and to treat diseases such as coughing in the lungs.

付け加えると、今回の日本語の題もそこから来てる。「冬人夏草」は同じ言葉の「虫」を「人」に替えたもの。

>>3

To add to that, it's where the Japanese title for the episode comes from: 冬人夏草 is the same but with "worm" switched for "person".

そうそう
人間の体の中で育つキノコもあるかもしれないけど、試すほど馬鹿なやつはいないだろうな。

yep
There may be mushrooms that can grow inside a human body, but no one would be stupid enough to try.

they're really going for it huh
soon everyone in this palace will be literate

猫猫のアニメが魔法学校編に突入！

>>8

Maomao's anime gets into the magical school arc!

やがて来る王朝の没落。

>>8

The eventual downfall of the dynasty.

OP、1期と比べてかなり格落ちだな

The opening is such a downgrade from the first season

ヨアソビ好きだけど

>>11

I like yosabi

急に髪が抜けるのは何が原因？

what causes sudden baldness?

Lupus. We need Dr. House reincarnated as an anime girl to help!

呼んだ？

>>15

You called?

キノコのほかに、今回は「霊芝（灵芝）」っていう菌類も出てくる。
これも伝統的な漢方の生薬。

In addition to mushrooms, a fungus called " Lingzhi灵芝 " is also featured in this episode.
It is also a traditional Chinese medicine.

うまそう

Looks tasty

>うまそう
これは木みたいに硬くて、煎じて飲むか粉にするしかないぞ。

>>18

>tasty
This stuff is as hard as wood and you can only drink it in water or grind it into a powder.

ゲームの『The Long Dark』によると、天然の抗生物質らしい。

>>17

Natural antibiotic, according to the game The Long Dark.

そう、昔の人はいろんな植物の薬効を、自分で食べてみることでしか知ることができなかった。
食べてみて初めて、その病気に効くと分かる。
田舎で暮らしてる犬だって、どの草が薬で、食べれば自分を治せるか知ってた。

>>20

Yes, the ancients wanted to know the medicinal effects of various plants only by eating them themselves.
You only knew it could cure a disease if you ate it.
Even dogs living in the countryside knew what herbs were and could cure themselves when eaten.

>本物のジン妃は1年前に死んで森に捨てられてて、別人が成り代わってた
なんで誰も気づかなかったんだよ

>the real jin died a year ago and was dumped in the woods and someone else replaced her
how the F**K did no one notice

全員グルだったからだろ

>>22

Because they were all in it

やっぱりこのOP嫌いだわ。

Yep I still hate this OP.

同じく。YOASOBIの声もスタイルも薬屋に全然合ってない。2番目のOPはすごくよかったけどな

>>24

Same. Yoasobis voice and style doesn't fit kurisuya at all. Second OP was very good though

OP1はいちばん盛り上がったけど、中身にはいまいち合ってなかった。OP2がいちばん合ってた。OP3はOP2と同じ路線だけど、物悲しさが薄いぶんむしろいい。どっちかというと、上級妃たちが出てくる軽めの場面にすごく合ってる。

>>25

OP1 had the most hype but was a mediocre fit for actual content; OP2 was the most fitting; OP3 is the same as 2 but it's less melancholic which is a plus; if anything, it really vibes well with light-hearted scenes with high concubines.

1期の最初のOPよりはずっといいよ。あれは本当にひどかった。

>>24

It's far better than the first opening of season 1. That one was outright hideous.

センス最悪だな。

>>27

Absolute s**t taste.

髪を下ろした猫猫かわいい。

Hair down maomao is cute.

よくある量産型の萌えキャラ

>>30

how is that anything resembling a blob

三味線。

Shamisen.

違うみたい。ちょっと調べたら二胡っていうらしい。
とにかくありがとう。

>>32

Doesn't seem like it. I researched a bit and it seems it's called erhu.

Thanks anyway.

これのことだと思ってた

I though these were supposed to be these

見た目は邪悪だし腐った肉みたいな臭いがするけど、あれは実は毒じゃない。さすがの日本人でも食べようとはしないと思うけど。

>>34

While they look evil and smell like rotting flesh, those actually aren't poisonous. I don't think even the Japanese would try to eat them, though.

昔、学校の裏でよく見つけてたけど、当時は何なのか全然分からなかった。ぬるぬるした球の部分が宇宙人の卵みたいだった。

>>34

Used to find these at the back of my school, had no idea what the f**k they were at the time. The slimy bulbs looked like alien eggs.

1期を見始めたばかりだけど、今のところ期待以上だわ。壬氏と猫猫はすごく面白いキャラだし、「後宮」と外の街っていう舞台は面白い話がいくらでも作れそう。追いつくのが楽しみ。
あと、猫猫のちょっとした猫っぽい瞬間にいつも笑っちゃう。
2期より先の話も追いたいなら、漫画とラノベどっちがいい？ 日本語は読めないから、そこは制約になるけど。

I just started watching the first season, and gotta say, this show is surpassing my expectations so far. Jinshi and Maomao are super fun characters, the "rear palace" & town outside as a setting is ripe for interesting stories, and I'm excited to keep catching up.

Plus her lil cat moments always make me laugh.

If I'm interested in continuing the story past S2, is it worth following the manga? Or LN? I can't read moon runes, so will be a limiting factor, obv.

どっちも読む価値あるし、公式の英訳もあるよ。漫画（2種類ある）は、たぶん2期の終わりより先には進んでない（俺の見立てだけど）。ラノベはよく書けてる。

>>37

They're worth, both the manga and LN and there're official translations. The manga (there're 2 adaptations) don't go beyond the S2 (by my estimation of the ending) and the LN is well written.

>ラノベ
覚えといてほしいのは、ラノベは文体がもうちょっと淡々としててシリアスで、しかもかなり冗長。キャラの描き方も少し違って、壬氏はもっと嫌なやつだし、猫猫は本当に箍が外れてる。悪いって言ってるわけじゃないけど、アニメは作画と声優の演技で底上げされたライト版って感じ

>>37

>Or LN
keep in the mind the tone in the LN is a bit more dry and serious its also very verbose, also the characterization its a bit different Jinshi is more of a jerk and MaoMao is really unhinged, im not saying its bad, but the anime is like a lite-version that gets elevated by the animation and VA performances

で、これって実際何なの？

and what actually is this?

キノコだよ

>>40

its a fungus

誰が思うかよ
どんな種類？

>>41

who'd ever thought
what kind?

もっと修行しておくべきだったな

should have cultivated harder

ここまで来るとほぼ確信してるんだけど、この「cultivating（修行）」ってやつは、「告白」とか「許さない」みたいなもんの中国版で、ただ「鍛錬」とかそんな意味なだけで、中国語では全然変に聞こえないんだと思う。
で、元の中国語を探したら「修行」で、日本語でも武道の鍛錬に使う言葉だった。やっぱりな。
たぶんただの「鍛錬」って意味で、いつもどおり、神秘的な響きは全部、誤訳のせいなんだよ。

>>43

I am practically convinced at this point that this “cultivating” s**t is just the Chinese version of “confess” or “I won't forgive you” and it just means “training” or something similar and doesn't sound weird at all in Chinese.

And yeah, I found the original Chinese word which is “修行” is just a word used for training in martial arts in Japanese by the way and sure enough:

I'm pretty sure it just means “training” and as usual, the entire mystical aspect of a word sounding word is just due to a mistranslation.

それに中国の話で「cultivator」って訳される言葉でキャラが呼ばれるとき、同じ言葉が日本語に出てくると「仙人」とか「賢者」って訳されるんだよな

>>44

and any time a character is called a certain word that gets translated as cultivator when the story is chinese, when that same word shows up in japanese it gets translated as hermit or sage

漢字や辞書の定義がどう働くか、それにcultivation、training、improvementが何を意味するか分かってないのか？
これはただの「鍛錬」じゃない。精神を鍛える修行のこと。英語にすると「精神をcultivateする（培う）」になる。だからcultivateって言葉なんだ。誤訳でもないし、言葉自体が変なわけでもない。響きが面白いからミームになっただけ。
気が済むなら、いちばん近い別の言い方は「瞑想」だな

do you not understand how kanji and dictionary definitions work or what cultivation, training and improvement means?
This isn't "training". It's specifically spiritual training in one's spirit. Which translated to english is cultivating one's spirit. Hence why the word cultivate. It isn't a mistranslation nor is the word itself weird, it just got turned into a meme because it sounds funny.
If it makes you feel better the closest alternative would be meditation

そう、響きが面白いし、中国語ではきっとそうじゃない。
調べたかぎりどの資料でも、中国語の同じ言葉はあらゆる種類の鍛錬に使われてる。中国語では「cultivating」の英語みたいに、特別で、癖があって、大げさには聞こえないんだと思う。
>気が済むなら、いちばん近い別の言い方は「瞑想」だな
ああ、その定義も見たことあるし、それなら全然面白く聞こえなかっただろうな。でも「cultivation」の使われ方を見てると、座って心を空っぽにして超能力に目覚めるだけじゃなくて、体の鍛錬も含んでることが多いんだよ。

>>46

Yes, it sounds funny and one can bet it doesn't in Chinese.

The same word in Chinese is used for training of any sort as far as all the sources are to be believed. It most likely doesn't sound remotely as special and quirky and imposing in Chinese as it “cultivating” sounds.

>If it makes you feel better the closest alternative would be meditation
Yeah, I've seen that definition too, and that wouldn't have sounded nearly as funny but how I've seen “cultivation” used often implied physical practice as well, not just sitting down and clearing one's mind to unlock superpowers.

そう、瞑想は正確じゃない。体の修行でもあるから、あくまで「近い」だけ。
ミーム臭さを全部消したいなら、厳密には「精神修養」って言うべきなんだろうけど、cultivationはぴったりの言葉だよ。実際に瞑想して、変な僧侶の武術の修行を重ねて、最後には神にまでなるんだから。ある程度は、面白くて馬鹿馬鹿しく聞こえるようにできてるんだ。

>>47

Yeah, meditation isn't right because it's physical too, it's just "close".
Technically it should be "spiritual training" if you want to get rid of all memeshit but cultivation is the perfect word for it because they're literally meditating and doing weird monk martial practices all the way to becoming gods. It's supposed to be funny and silly on some level.

今期もいいけど、1期にあった輝きが足りない。

This season is good and all but it's missing the spark S1 had.

「花になって」が足りないんだよ

>>49

It's missing HANA NI NAAAAAATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

今期って、フリーレンみたいな原爆級の大騒ぎになる作品はあるの？

Does this Season even have something as close to be as an atomic bomb of furor such as Frieren?

見たかぎり、いちばんスレが立ってるのは戦隊レッドだな。

>>51

Sentai Red seems to be getting the most threads from what I can tell.

>戦隊レッド
いや、アヴェムジカのスレだよ
ジェットコースターみたいな展開で本当に楽しい

>>52

>Sentai Red
no its the ave mujica threads
its really fun with how much of a roller coaster it is

やあ友よ、中国人で薬屋で働いてる者として『薬屋のひとりごと』に物申しに来た

Hello friends, I am here to rage about Kusuriya no Hitorigoto as someone who is Chinese and working in the apothecary

もしかして、やぶ医者か？

>>54

Are you a quack by any chance?

正式な免許を持ってないからって、医学の知識を配っちゃいけない理由にはならない

>>55

Just because I'm not legally licensed doesn't stop me from dispensing medical knowledge

やかましいガールボス系の騒音で、メロディは昔のヒーロー番組からパクってて、歌詞はバカみたいに「じゃない？」を連呼してる。

It's obnoxious girlboss noise with a melody ripped from some old superhero show and lyrics that spam "janai?" to the point of ludicrousness.

>ガールボス系の騒音
どういう意味だよ

>>57

>girlboss noise
What does this even mean

洋楽ポップみたいに聞こえるってことだよ。褒めてない。映像もかなりひどい。大半は適当な植物で、あとは味気ない黒背景の猫猫、猫猫が美しい姿に「変身」するところ、最後は壬氏と猫猫の見え見えの切り抜き画像。

>>58

It sounds like western pop music, which is not a good thing. The video is pretty bad, too. A huge chunk of it is just random plants, then you have Maomao on a bland black background, her "transforming" into her beautiful look, then a couple of really obvious png cutouts of Jinshi and Maomao for the final shot.

新OPはすぐに好きになったし、映像も好き。（最初の変な色合いだけは、ハズレのエンコードを落としたみたいな気分になるけど）
>昔のヒーロー番組
刑事ドラマな。
シャキーラ。

>>57 >>58

The new OP grew on me pretty quickly, and I like the visuals. (Other than the off-colors at the start that always make me feel like I downloaded a bad encode.)

>some old superhero show
Cop show.

Shakira.

>シャキーラ
この歌手をそのレベルに置くか？
メジャー寄りではあるけど、それは言いすぎだろ。

>>60

>shakira
you would put this singer on that sort of level?
she's on the mainstream side but you're going far there.

猫猫にはイラッとする。完璧すぎる。もう一回痛い目を見るべき。

Maomao ticks me off. She's too perfect. She needs to get knocked down a peg again.

猫猫って、元祖・中国の名探偵と同じくらいすごいの？

Is Mao Mao as good as the OG Chinese detective?

あらゆる事件をあっさり解決するのは壬氏のほうだろ。
>酒を取り上げる
>毒キ…じゃなくて実験用の薬用キノコを取り上げる
それで嫌われる理由が分からないんだからな

>>63

That's Jinshi that effortlessly solves every case thrown at him.
>takes away her booze
>takes away her poisonous mu... I mean, experimental medical fungi
And he wonders why she dislikes him

>酒を取り上げる
実際にはそうしてないぞ。猫猫が、仕事に身が入ってないって壬氏をからかおうとしたから、壬氏が仕返しに、飲酒に年齢制限をかける法律を作るぞって脅してからかったんだ。

>>64

>takes away her booze
He didn't actually do that. Maomao tried teasing Jinshi about not focusing on his work so he teased her back by threatening to pass a law that puts an age restriction on alcohol consumption.

猫猫＝包青天
壬氏＝展昭
高順＝公孫策
こんな感じで合ってる？

>>63

Maomao = Judge Bao
Jinshi = Zhan Zhao
Gaoshun = Gongsun Ce

Are these about right?

1期を一気見して、やっと毎週の放送に追いついた。この作品ほんと好き。ただ脇役をもうちょっと掘り下げてほしかった。それと、作品がシリアスぶるところは嫌い。両親のあの話とかクソくだらなかった。
とにかく8/10は堅い
画像は俺の嫁

Marathoned season 1 and finally caught up with the weekly episodes. Really like this show, just wish some side characters were more fleshed out. Also hate when the show tries to be more serious, like that stuff with her parents that was so f*****g stupid.
Anyway solid 8/10
picrel my wife

受け止め方って変わるもんだな。俺は真面目にやってるときこそ、この作品は一番いいと思う。
猫猫の猫っぽいギャグはくだらなすぎる。

>>67

Funny how the perception can change, IMO the show is at its best when it takes itself seriously.
Those cat gags Maomao has are so stupid.

>漫才が分かってない
なんでアニメなんて見てるんだ…

>>68

>he doesn't understand Manzai
why even watch anime...

ねこねこをもっと貼れ

Post more catcat

***クンクン***

>>70

***SNIFFA***

壬氏は、ジン妃が死ぬ前から長いこと食中毒を患ってたのを知ってたなら、なんで猫猫に解毒剤を出してもらわなかったんだ？
猫猫に「ジン妃」の様子を見させてたら、本当は病気じゃないし、別人が成り代わってるかもしれないって早めに気づけたかもしれないのに。

So why didn't Jinshi just ask Mao Mao to whip out an antidote for Jin if he already knew she was suffering from food poisoning for a long time before she passed away?
He might even be able to figure out early if he brought Mao Mao to check on "Jin" that she's not actually sick and may be someone else entirely taking her identity if he did that.

その手間をかけるほどの相手じゃなかったか、むしろ厄介者だと思ってたんだろ。

>>72

maybe she wasn't worth the effort, or he actively thought she's a bother.

公平な立場のはずじゃないのか？
位の高い妃を食中毒で放っておいて衰弱させるなんて信じられない。

>>73

Isn't he supposed to be impartial?
Can't believe he just let a high ranking concubine rot away with food poisoning.

もしかしたら、侍女たちが「ジン妃」に近づかせず、言い訳してたのかもしれない。壬氏にとって興味の無い妃だったから、それ以上は追及せず、ちゃんと世話されてると思ってたんだろう。壬氏は記憶力がいいし、前に本物のジン妃に会ったこともあるから、見せてもらえてたら何かおかしいと気づいてたはず。

>>72

The ladies-in-waiting didn't let him get near "Jin" perhaps and made excuses. Since that consort was of no interest to Jinshi, he didn't press further and just thought she was taken cared of. Jinshi has pretty good memory and would have figured something was up if allowed to take a look at "Jin" and he met with the real Jin at one point in the past.

「かもしれない」って書き忘れた。侍女たちが壬氏にそれ以上調べさせないよう積極的に邪魔したかどうかは、小説でも書かれてなかったと思うから。

>>75

Forgot to add "perhaps" because I don't think it was stated in the novels if the ladies-in-waiting actively prevented Jinshi from looking at things further.

キノコって、なんであんなに性悪で、毒があることが多いんだ

Why are mushrooms such assholes and often poisonous anyways

キノコは人の罪からできてるからだよ

>>77

Mushrooms are made from the sins of men

菌類の専門家じゃないけど、俺の知るかぎりだと：
>キノコは菌の子実体
>その役目は胞子を飛ばして、菌を広めることだけ
>食べておいしいのは胞子を飛ばすまで（理由ははっきり知らないけど、たぶん菌がもうキノコに養分を回す必要が無くなるからだと思う）
>その前に食べられたら、菌がキノコに注ぎ込んだ労力や養分が全部無駄になる
>だから食べられないように進化する強い圧力が働く。それもできるだけ強烈に

>>77

I'm not a mycologist but as far as I'm aware:
>the mushroom is a fruiting body of a fungus
>its only function is to release its spores, to help spread the fungus further
>they're only good eating until the spores are released (I don't actually know for sure why, but I assume the fungus just doesn't need to put resources into maintaining them anymore)
>if it gets eaten before this can happen, then all the effort/nutrients the fungus invested into the mushroom is wasted
>this creates strong evolutionary pressure encouraging inedibility, preferrably as severe as possible

後宮の女って、なんでみんなこんなに美人なんだ！？

Why is every woman in the rear palace so f*****g hot !?

でも猫猫がいちばん可愛くて賢くてカッコいいけどな

>>80

Maomao is the prettiest and smartest and coolest tho

高順は最高、文句なしに神脇役。めちゃくちゃ好き。秘密を守って、死体を掘り起こして、賢い助言をして、壬氏と猫猫を難なく手なずける。最高にイケてる親父オーラ

Gaoshun is the s**t, absolutely goated side character, I ADORE him. He keeps secrets, digs up bodies, gives wise counsel and wrangles Jinshi and Maomao effortlessly. F*****g amazing hot dad energy

実は孫もいるから、最高にイケてるおじいちゃんオーラだな。
どうりで何でもそつなくこなして、この子たちの面倒の見方も分かってるわけだ。

He's actually got grandkids so it's actually amazing hot grandad energy.
It's no wonder he's so on-top of things and knows how to take care of these kids.

なぜか今期いちばん好きになった脇役は、やぶ医者だわ。

For some reason, the side character who's grown on me the most this season is the quack doctor.

やぶ医者はほんとにいい人だよな。仕事がそんなにできないだけで。

The quack is such a nice guy. He's just not very good at his job.

猫好きの男を嫌いになれるわけがない。

Cant hate a guy who adores cats.

それにもてなし上手！

And he's such a conscientious host!

仕事ではほぼ役立たずだけど、本当にいいやつ。

He is almost useless at his job, but he is such a nice dude.

これが最初から全部ミスリードで、実はバカのふりをした悪の天才だったら、って想像してみて

imagine if this has all been misdirection from the start and the guy is some evil genius faking stupidity

あの人すごいよ。子どもの扱いのプロだからな。

Dudes a beast, he wrangles kids as a professional.

使用人の読み書きの力を上げるっていう本来の目的に加えて、猫猫・小蘭・子翠の3人でつるむ場面が増えるなら、壬氏の学校の案には大賛成。猫猫が賛成したときの壬氏と高順の反応は最高だったけどｗ
キノコでいっぱいのかごがあんなふうに持っていかれるのは、正直ちょっと悲しかった。

On top of the main idea of boosting the servants' literacy rates, I'm all for Jinshi's school idea if it means we get more Maomao-Xiaolan-Shisui hangouts out of it. He and Gaoshun's reaction to Maomao's approval of it was gold tho lol
It's kinda sad seeing a basket full of mushrooms getting whisked away like that ngl.

猫猫はたぶん、死体によってキノコの味が変わるかどうか実験するつもりだったんだろうな。科学の機会を逃したもんだ。

Maomao was probably going to experiment if different corpses produce different flavor mushrooms. What a wasted opportunity for science.

おやじさんが、死体には絶対触らせないって決めてたのは本当に正しかった。猫猫は死に関わることにまったくためらいが無い。

Her dad was really on the nose about never letting her touch corpses. She has no reservations about things involving death.

死体とキノコ……待って、これ前に見たことある！

Corpses and mushrooms... wait I've seen this one before!

触らないよ。養父に死体に触るのを禁じられてるから。
たぶん、すごく賢明な判断だった。猫猫はただでさえ、変人扱いされないぎりぎりのところまで箍が外れてるからな。

She wouldn't, her foster father banned her from touching corpses.
Which was probably a very sensible thing. She is already unhinged as you get without being thought of as an eccentric.

正直、おやじさんが禁止してなかったら、猫猫は墓荒らしになってたぞ。変人どころの話じゃない

Lets be honest, if he didnt ban her. she was becoming a grave robber. Thats beyond eccentric

猫猫が本気で喜んだ壬氏の案って、これが初めてなんじゃないかな。使用人の女の子たちに教育を受けさせれば、人生の可能性がずっと広がる。
子翠は猫猫についていけてたから、もう読み書きができるんじゃないかって印象を受けた。小蘭も前に、別の使用人の子が小説を写してくれたって言ってたから、それが子翠だったのかも？ 2人は前から仲がよさそうだったし。

This must be one of the first ideas of Jinshi that Maomao was actually happy with. Educating the servant girls will give them much better chances in life.
I did get the impression that Shisui is already capable of reading and writing given that she could keep up with Maomao. Xiaolan had previously also mentioned that another servant girl had copied the novels’ text for her, so maybe this was Shisui? The two of them did seem well-acquainted with each other.

使用人の女の子たちの暮らしを良くするための話なのに、なんで壬氏は猫猫が賛成しないと思ったんだろう？

I wonder why Jinshi thought MaoMao wouldn't approve of something done to improve the lives of serving girls?

もう条件反射で、どんな案でも猫猫に却下されると思ってるんじゃないかな。

I think he just automatically expects her to reject his ideas at this point, no matter what the idea.

驚いたのは賛成したことじゃなくて、猫猫がその案に乗り気だったことだと思う。壬氏が知ってるのはだいたい、うっとうしすぎる実の父親がいて、頭が切れる、毒と薬の小悪魔としての猫猫だから。弱い立場の人たちを積極的に気にかけて、世の中が良くなってほしいと思ってる面は、あまり知らないんだよ。

I think it wasn't the approval that surprised him but her and and enthusiasm for the idea, Jinshi mostly know her as the poison and medicine Gremlin with an overly annoying father and a sharp mind. He doesn't really know the side of her that she tend to actively look out for the small people and generally wants things to get better.

賛成しないと思ってたわけじゃなくて、できるだけ効果のある案にするために、猫猫の批評が欲しかったんだと思う。

I don't think he assumed she wouldn't approve, he wanted her critique to make sure that it was as effective as it could be.

また猫猫に見下されたかったんだよ

He wanted to be called low again by MaoMao

猫猫にあの目で見られたとき、どれだけホッとした顔してたか……
間違いなくM

With how he reliefed he looked when she did gave him that look...
Definitely a masochist

>猫猫が賛成したときの壬氏と高順の反応は最高だったけどｗ
あの反応大好き。猫猫の笑顔に2人ともすごく驚いてた！
特に壬氏。でも猫猫にいつもの目で見られたら、すぐ元に戻ってたけどｗ

He and Gaoshun's reaction to Maomao's approval of it was gold tho lol
I loved their reaction, they were so shocked by Maomao's smile!
Especially Jinshi, although he soon got better after Maomao gave him that look xD

殺人の謎を解く
死体からキノコが生えてたのがどれだけうれしかったか、うっかりさらけ出す
猫猫の変人っぷりは誰にも真似できない。ほんと、そこが大好き。
それにしても、「誰かが誰かに毒を盛った」って話から、身代わりを使った大がかりな隠蔽工作にまで広がっていったのは、まだぞっとする。

Solves a murder mystery
Exposes herself to how glad she was that the mushrooms were grown from the dead body
Maomao's freakiness is just unmatched and God I love her for it.
Its still unsettling how this went from "someone poisoned another person" to an entire cover-up operation using a body double.

この何層にも重なった筋書きが1話で全部片付いたのには驚いた。後宮は大がかりな陰謀だらけみたい。

I'm surprised this multi-layered plot was all covered in a single episode. The palace seems to be full of grand conspiracies.

この作品のことだから、これでもまだ陰謀の全部じゃないかもしれない。下水の謎も残ってる

Knowing the show, this might not even be the full conspiracy. There is still the sewage mystery

下水が漏れてるかもって話は、ただのミスリードだったのかも…

Maybe the possible sewage line leak was just a red herring...

それにしても、北側の区画でいろんなことが起きすぎてる。
毒づくりを隠すのにうってつけの下水の悪臭、そこらじゅうに生えてる毒キノコ、ここでしか見つからない珍しい虫、そこに開かれる読み書きの学校。
点と点がつながらないけど、何か大きなことが起きてる

Still, too many things are happening in the Northern block:
A sewage stink that could potentially provide a cover for poison production Toxic mushrooms growing all over the place Rare insects that can only be found here A literacy school opening up in the location I can't connect the dots, but something big is happening there

それと、隊商が持ち込んだ油とお茶が全部、多かれ少なかれ流産の危険を高めるものだったって件も、まだ片付いてない。どうなるのかすごく気になる

Also the ALL the oils and teas provided by the caravan where somewhat able to increase likelihood of miscarriage, that is something that it was not addressed yet, i am very curious where this goes

「下水の臭い」は、見つかった腐った死体から出てたんだよ。

The "sewage smell" was coming from the rotting corpse that they found.

でも、死体の臭いならもう消えてるはずだけどな。

The corpse smell should have dissipated already, however.

北側に臭いが2つあるならね。子翠が言ってた臭いは腐った死体だったんだと思う。下水が漏れてるっていうのは猫猫の推測にすぎない。

Only if there are two smells on the north side. I suspect the smell Shisui mentioned was the rotting corpse. Maomao only guessed it was leaking sewage.

宦官たちに掘らせたのは正解だよ。死体とちょっとでも2人きりになってたら、猫猫が何をしでかしたか分かったもんじゃない。

It's a good thing she ordered those eunuchs to dig, goodness know what Maomao would've done if she was alone with a corpse for any period of time.

1期で、養父に死体に触るのを禁じられてるって言ってなかったっけ？ 猫猫はそれをすごく真剣に守ってる。たぶんだから宦官に手伝いを頼んだんだよ。

Didn't she say in the first season her foster father forbade her from touching corpses? She's shown that she takes that very seriously. That's probably WHY she asked for the help of some eunuchs.

>1期で、養父に死体に触るのを禁じられてるって言ってなかったっけ？
そう。死体から薬を作らせたくなかったからだ。人の体から生えたキノコかもしれないってだけであんなに興奮してたんだから、おやじさんの判断は間違いなく正しかった。

Didn't she say in the first season her foster father forbade her from touching corpses?
Yes. Specifically because he didn't want her making medicine from them. Which was definitely the right move on his part given how excited she was to potentially have mushrooms grown on a human body.

猫猫がどれだけ変わり者か、壬氏は定期的に思い知らされてる。惹かれてるのと引いてるのが半々だな。
死んだ妃と行方不明の使用人の子から始まって、身代わりの陰謀に広がって、最後は本当の殺人で終わる。後宮のありふれた一週間だ。

Jinshi getting a periodic reminder how much of a freak Maomao is. He is equal parts attracted to and weirded out by her.
Started with a dead concubine and a missing servant girl, spun out into a body-double conspiracy that ended in real murder. Just a typical weak in the rear palace.

ここの「医療ミステリー」は『天久鷹央の推理カルテ』のよりずっとずっといい。
ジン妃の侍女たちは全員処刑されるのかな？ たぶんそうなると思う。

I must say the "medical mysteries" here are much MUCH better than those in Ameku MD.
I wonder if ALL Concubine Jin's ladies-in-waiting will be executed? I rather suspect they will be.

「そのキノコをどうするつもりだ」
さっきうっかり口にした「趣味」に決まってるでしょ

"what are you going to do with those mushrooms"
her "hobbies" that she accidentally revealed earlier duh

ちょっと誇張したリアリティってところだと思う。この話では何でも現実より効き目が強い。症状も治療も病気も同じだけど、とにかく効果が大きい。

I think it's a little enhanced realism. Everything seems to be more potent in the story, than in reality. Same symptoms, cures and ailments, but simply more effective.

冬虫夏草も今回、遠回しに触れられてたね。

The cordyceps where also mentioned this episodes indirectly.

それに、作者が筋書きのために時間をかけて調べて、何かを発明するんじゃなく実在するものを使ってくれるのはありがたい。1期でも全体的にかなりよくできてた。全体としては架空の話で、特定の時代や場所に合わせてるわけでもないのに、リアリティの土台がある。
それで言うと、臭いのところは分からなかった。最初は下水の件が何かのミスリードだと思ってたけど、土に埋まって1年たった死体が、まだ臭うなんてことあるか？ 見つけたときに鼻まで覆ってたし。

And I appreciate when authors invest the time researching and using something existing in a plot instead of inventing things. Which in general has been pretty good even in season 1. Gives it something grounded in realism despite overall being fictional and not in any sense matching a specific time period and/or location.
On that note, I'm confused by the smell. I thought the whole sewer thing was some sort of misdirection at first, but there's no way a year old body buried in the dirt would still give off an odor would it? They even cover their noses when they see it too.

浅く埋められてて、湿った環境なら、まだ強い臭いがするかもしれない。でも死体がもう乾いて骨だけになってたら、臭いはたぶんそこまで強くない。

If the body is buried shallow and the environment is damp and wet, it might still give off a strong smell. But if the corpse is already dry and just bones are left, the smell probably wouldn’t be that strong.
