Falma de Mdicis, shop owner of the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy and the Royal Court Apothecary, was the first mber of the Pharmacy Guild and also the de facto Guild Master. Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy was renovated after two months.
Now, the remodeled Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy was a pure white shop, a complete makeover from its previous state. There was no rush in opening, so they decided to take their ti. The shop owner, Pierre, featured a curving mustache, a fresh hair-cut, a neatly sewn white dical gown with a naplate and a badge signifying his status as an authorized seller. Starting from today, he will sell new dicines in cooperation with Diversis Mundi Pharmacy. He learned the knowledge on how to use the dicines, and the craft of custor service. He also learned business managent. He had learned all the things that was necessary.
Knight Guards in plain clothes were dispatched from Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, their order was to guard this shop with scrutiny.
This was to prevent any potential thefts of the dicine and to hamper the potential harassnts from the Apothecary Guild.
Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy sold a variety of things; more types of cough drops than Diversis Mundi Pharmacy offered, wafers with iron and calcium, antipyretic analgesics, eye drops, and all sorts of vitamins. Diversis Mundi Pharmacy specializes in compounding sophisticated dicine for specialized patients, who were seriously ill. On the other hand, Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy aims to differentiate itself by handling colds and the flu, relatively common diseases, and nutritional supplents. The number of patients had swelled in Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, to the point that it beca too much to handle for both Falma and Ellen, which resulted in patients not getting examined. A decision was made to move so of the dicines to be sold at Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy.
A few days ago, to improve PR, leaflets were spread out, indicating that Diversis Mundi Pharmacy had opened a new pharmacy which they recognized as a business partner. Patients who had relatively mild symptoms with their chronic disease would be sent to Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy.
Ah, finally. I wonder what would happen today.
Pierre suddenly beca anxious, wondering if any custors would co. Will the custors co from Diversis Mundi Pharmacy since they were selling almost the sa dicine? Will he be okay without Falma?
Will he be able to manage properly? Will he be able to explain the effects of the new dicine?
His anxiety just went on. The other day, Pierre couldnt sleep a wink.
But, how about just open it now?
Outside the gate of Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy, many visitors had lined up before the opening that it covered the whole alley.
Pierre sniffed as he opened the gates with trembling hands, and bowed to the custors deeply.
Welco to Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy.
After that, Pierre was entrusted by Falma and was inaugurated as the Guild Master of the Pharmacy Guild. The new Guild Master Pierre was so dissatisfied with the way that the Apothecary Guild conducted business that he personally recruited apothecaries who were on the brink of closing due to poor sales, and increased the mbers of the Pharmacy Guild to seven.
All pharmacies of the Pharmacy Guild were remodeled with the sa process: large open gates, thoroughly clean, and an ingenious plan to serve the patients.
The apothecaries who ca to handle the new dicines from the Pharmacy Guild were lively, content, and motivated.
After all, the formulation they learned from the two months of training from Falma showed that those dicines were indeed effective.
dicine that would be effective for everyone!
Previously, this was an uncommon occurrence.
To work or not to work, such things were almost like gambling based on rules learned through experience. It was not unusual for a pharmacy to be set on fire or an apothecary to be murdered for selling expensive dicine that was not effective. Because of theft, the risk in being resented, and exaggerated large sums of reparations, dicine costs inevitably rose. Commoner physicians and apothecaries were like moneylenders, it was a corrupt business that was hated.
However, after reopening the remodeled pharmacies that were owned by the mbers of the Pharmacy Guild, they had an increase in repeat custors.
The patients trusted the apothecaries with words of gratitude, as the apothecaries prescribed dicine tailored for the patient.
Even without being greedy, profits ca in.
Thanks to Master Falmas benevolence, I dont feel guilty towards the patients anymore.
Pierre thanked Falma when they ca across each other. It was also thanks to that day when his daughter was suffering from influenza and the nearby clinic of Doctor Donald.
Let us build a bronze statue of Master Falma for his service in the entrance hall of the Pharmacy Guild, was what Pierre enthusiastically proposed during a regular eting, but sadly, Falma personally rejected it.
anwhile in Diversis Mundi Pharmacy.
Seems like Master Falma is getting busier
Lotte looked worried as she was looking at Falma that fell asleep while he was organizing dical records.
Really. He is expanding the business to fast Is it because the dicine God dwells in the body of a child that the god was tired?
While Ellen was looking down on the exhausted Falma, she was worried that although Falma had the ability to heal people, was there really a dicine that could heal him? Falma said that both dicine and poison wasnt effective on his body.
If there was a dicine that could heal the dicine God, he would surely feel so gratitude. Ellen reflected upon it, and didnt forget to thank the dicine God in her mind. She didnt know if it reached him.
Eh? What are you talking about Lady Elonore!?
Lotte innocently asked Ellen. Lotte believed the Falma was Falma.
No, this is nothing. Thinking about the patients who are suffering, dont you think its an injustice to leave them alone?
Ellen was being evasive.
At least, we should be able to do sothing about the procurent of materials, we want Falma to devote himself to dical treatnt and compounding.
Cedric seed to worry about Falma too. Cedrics knee recovered with Falmas dicine and had been walking without a cane for a long ti now.
Despite that, there is almost nothing that little Falma cannot synthesize. I believe I can compound alone in the fourth floor laboratory, but he wont even show the thods or teach . I already asked several tis. Although I could help him, its frustrating.
Lately, Falma was working overti everyday. Until now, the dicines prescribed by Diversis Mundi Pharmacy was created alone by Falma using raw materials supplied by business partners. Because there are also dicines mixed with herbs supplied by the Marseille province, so compoundings are left to Ellen. Falma also works on Saturdays and Sundays, working overti until late at night, and would co early in the morning to stay at the laboratory to produce materials for the dicine, and would accommodate off hours dical treatnt for patients who took a sudden turn in their condition. That was his daily routine.
Although Falma has a wellspring of divine power that was inexhaustible, his body still gets tired.
Did I fall asleep?
Falma raised his half asleep face while the desk left a mark on his forehead. Lotte covered Falmas shoulder with astoleso he wont get cold.
You had a long nap, did your consciousness fly off? You looked tired.
Ellen was rubbing the mark on Falmas forehead with her fingers.
In his previous life, he had the habit of gathering work imdiately as soon as he becos idle. And then, he was overconfident with his physical condition as a pharmacist. As a result he made a big mistake.
So although this ti he should be spending his life not overworking, Falma admonishes himself for not doing it that way.
Am I working too much?
As to Falmas daily work schedule,
As for the things that occur irregularly:
Hey, aside from , you should increase the apothecary in Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, why not take in an apprentice? Once you put up a system to teach the next generation, your life would beco easier.
Ellen gave such a proposal. Falma had a brain with the pharmaceutical knowledge of new dicines, and being the only one on this world was the only fatal flaw. In this situation, this put too much burden on Falma, as he felt that he was close to collapsing from the pressure on his shoulders.
That is my intention. Because once the pharmaceutical company is done and its able to operate, I will begin to make chemosynthetic dicines. I also intend to do other things too.
Soon, the pharmaceutical pharmacy will rise, so Falma was thinking of attracting local and foreign talented engineers and researchers, and will try to teach them little by little the necessary pharmaceutics to manufacture dicines.
The sales of Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, funding from the Church, financial assets of the Archduke family and funds from the Empire was all invested unsparingly to the pharmaceutical factory in Marseille Province. It was being constructed at a fast pace. Once it was constructed, it would be possible to distribute from the production base, giving Falma so extra ti.
In San Fleuve Pharmaceutical University where my teacher, Lord Bruno, is the president, have many excellent students. Even I have taken so apprentice there.
Ellen was Brunos best apprentice, she was also an excellent First Class Apothecary that she had three apprentices. Because she was busy helping in the pharmacy, she didnt pay attention to them anymore and entrusted them to Bruno, she said that he may employ them for the pharmacy.
All right, I will talk to my father about this now.
Since Falma beca an independent Royal Court Apothecary, he thought that he was ready and it might be okay to borrow his fathers influence and position. His father also may mutually benefit from him.
By the way, isnt there anything else thats necessary for the pharmaceutical factory? I should get it now before its too late.
Ellen wanted to push forward the preparation much earlier.
Sophisticated glassworks, and after that I want to hire so engineers with blacksmithing skills.
Without the laboratory equipnt for organic synthesis to make dicines, the factory wont operate.
Those arent sold anywhere?
Because I want to request sothing of unusual shape.
In Japan, a graduates of pharmaceutics and organic chemistry have skills in simple glassworks. But, its not possible for them to create flasks, test tubes, adapters, funnels, condenser tubes and the likes. Professionals in the glassworks were necessary.
Little Falma, only the best of the best engineers can realize your ideas.
Ellen was worried. Falma would want to employ an excellent engineer so she thought he would definitely spend lavishly.
It doesnt need to be the best, an engineer that have high degree of workmanship will be enough.
There is an Archduke, who is a dical Fla Engineer, an expert in making laboratory tools for physicians, an alchemist and an apothecary too. That person can make glassware and also tal works, and made the tools of my teacher. But doesnt accept request from the commoners, but I think that person will take it with the connections of my teacher, Lord Bruno.
They decided to be introduced at once using Brunos connections. Because it takes ti to make the tools. The factory wasnt complete yet, but if they dont place the request now, it wont make it in ti.
Archduke Mlodie Le Roux.
It was a lovely na that belies a remarkable engineer.
A female Archduke?
When he inadvertently mumbled it, Ellen responded in shock.
I think you should have known it, Archduke is a title bestowed to an individual person rather than the head of the family. It doesnt matter if you are a man or a woman.
Is that so
Thats why its possible that two or more Archduke can appear in one family. Little Falma, once you beco an adult, you might get the rank of Archduke.
That is aweso, Master Falma! Once that happens, let us have a party! With a grand feast!
When Lotte heard that he could beco an Archduke, she was in high spirits. Lotte was filled with strength when it cos to grand feast.
