Parallel World Pharmacy
Volume 2 - Ch 10

Master Palle will return home the day after tomorrow. The Head Chef had informed me!

Lotte told Falma cheerfully as she was cleaning his room.

Eh!? Brother is coming back!?

Palle de Mdicis, aged 17, was the older brother of Falma who had the misfortune of his first name literally being pills, was coming back.

Its been almost a year already. He has been busy with studying and training.

Because of that, there will be a feast the day after tomorrow! There will be lots of desserts too.

Um, I should ask the Head Chef. And Lotte was smiling from ear to ear. She decided to be hungry tomorrow and was enthusiastic.However, the Head Chef will heartily feed me bread before the feast, because I will be hungry at that time, as Lotte became cautious.

Good for you, Lotte. Since its your growth period right now.

Falma felt pleasant talking back to Lotte.

Its also your growth spurt, Master Falma! Do you still remember Master Palle?

Is that so?

Falma sometimes recalls the memory of the previous host of his body, but they were only fragments and didnt have any memory regarding his older brother at all. He may recall something if he meets him directly.

Master Palle had inherited our Lords excellent Water Divine Art and used it to train hard Master Falma. Lady Blanche too.

Terrifying, so terrifying, mumbled Lotte as she shivered.

She spoke about the terrifying matter, saying that Palle had beaten them viciously without holding back and that Bruno scolded him saying You went too far.

He trained me and Blanche so hard? Be that as it may if it was me, but even Blanche too?

Master Palle said it was a whip of love. However, Master Falmas and Lady Blanches Divine Art had tremendously improved all thanks to Master Palle.

It had become like an annual event. Every time Palle returned from Nova Root Medical University, it was to conduct harsh training on both of them in the name of checking progress.

Falma wanted to be spared from suffering, but escape was futile; according to the information from Lotte, Palle would chase him to the ends of the earth if he tried. By the way, it was said that Falma had received broken bones when Palle was at his worst.

By the way, I thought Ellen was the one teaching me Divine Arts?

Both of them are teaching you. Ah, while Master Palle and Lady Elonore are childhood friends, they are also eternal rivals. Please be careful not to talk about it while both are present if you can.

Palle and Ellen are of the same age. Both of them are very prideful, each of them thinking that they are the best apothecary and Divine Art user, so they would naturally compete against each other.

Thank you for your valuable information, Lotte.

It would have been a disaster if he stepped on that land mine.

Come to think of it, my body is getting dull.

It would be vexing if I get beaten up overwhelmingly, so I should train again, and so he went out to the courtyard and and fired off many water divine arts repeatedly with his silver wand.

Unfortunately his wand broke right in half during his practice.

Eeeh!? You want a new divine wand? You dont have one now?

The next day, Ellen heard the story in the pharmacy and yelled in a loud voice.

Palle de Mdicis. I have returned home.

The next day. Accompanied by three servants, the brother of Falma, Palle, came home triumphantly after a long journey riding a warhorse. A boy with long silver-hair and blue eyes, but unlike Falma, his lean toned body gave off an intrepid atmosphere.

He greeted his parents first.

Bruno concealed from Palle the fact that Falma became independent with the Empress personal approval as a Royal Court Apothecary and founded a Royal Chartered pharmacy, until Palle graduated from Nova Root Medical University and earned his qualification as a Royal Court Apothecary.

Palle will be home for a week, let alone him being the heir, if he learned that Falma became a Royal Court Apothecary without graduating from college, Palle will lose motivation to study and may drop out from the university, was what Bruno said. Falma too thought the same and he agreed.

Palle, who was oblivious to everything, came to Falmas room acting all arrogant as the big brother.

How are you doing, my little brother!

It has been a long time, dear brother.

Falma wanted to hear the details of Palles journey, what he learned and his dormitory life in Nova Root Medical University, but first, there seems to be a tradition for the older brother to rough up of the weaker younger brother.

All right! Im going to toughen you up until dinnertime! Have you gotten a little more bite to ya?!

Its raining outside, can we just do it when its sunny?

There was torrential rain with roaring thunder outside. Falma wouldnt catch a cold, but his brother definitely would. This was because his big brother had a bit of nasal voice.

You think Im going spare you because its raining? We are going to get soaked anyway since we are going to exchange Water Divine Arts. I thought Elonore taught you something, but youre getting weak-willed. Im going to you whip you up to be strong willed!

So the older brother was a hot-blooded man, or rather, a terrifying muscle-brain.

Falma was taken by force by his brother to a wide open field within their residence while there was still a downpour. It seemed that Blanche succeeded in escaping. That was because she always played a very enduring battle of hide-and-seek with Lotte a lot.

At least Im going to spare us from competing in this downpour.

Falma suddenly stopped the heavy rain with the negative ability of his right hand.
