Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - Ch. 78.1 - The Stronghold (Part 1)

[Scrwd]

Oh boy its getting worse
Shes so fucked

 

[Acrelorraine]

I recommend some iocane powder for yourself and the evil noble.

 

[xanon]

I don't think the Shi know whose daughter they've taken.

 

[Doomer]

"even if she doesn't look like it, she's over 30 years"
yea i can believe it, she looks 50.

 

[Cidolfas]

I don't think the Shi know whose daughter they've taken.

They're prepared to commit high treason so as long as it's not someone with a supernatural talent for sensing plots, is crazy for his daughter, and can mobilize the entire army on a whim they should be fine.

 

[EternalRavenDreamer]

I know the standard procedure when the Shi clan is inevitably stopped is that the whole clan gets executed, but I hope the innocent villagers and those who were forced to participate are spared death at least

 

[Takuma_Aki]

I was hoping it'll be resolved after some time and we'll get back to Maomao - Jinshi being lovey dovey, but there's no escaping it now, this will be a long arc then...

 

[MonoOnyx]

Ah my favourite moments in KNH, Maomao saying "Can't see this being relevant at any point".

 

[dumbziri]

"even if she doesn't look like it, she's over 30 years"
yea i can believe it, she looks 50.

She's talking about Maomao

 

[AnotherDuck]

Yeah, the worst kind. The kind that would punish people for any reason, including no reason.

Still a friend even if her true identity is out.

Proper castle.

"He must hold quite a lot of influence inside and outside the inner palace."

Well, yes. Quite a lot, in fact.

Forgot the frog for a moment.

"Oh well, nothing I can do about it now."

And then she shut off her thoughts on the matter.

It's good to hope things.

 

[Jachinz]

Why is my GOAT like this?

 

[AnonDePlume]

I wonder what are the cultural implications of taking one kid’s name to give to another kid. I know that even just naming a kid after someone is a big no-no in Chinese culture, but don’t have enough sense of the culture to fully grasp all the implications of outright stealing a name.

 

[IronMace1990]

The Frog was mentioned again 🐸

Well, Shen Mei is obsessed in attaining an Immortality Elixir, or anything that can return her former beauty. She's already an old hag, then sprinkled her with madness and you got an uglier old hag. She despises anyone who helds more beauty than her. I believe that's why she wants to kill Jinshi, aside from the fact he's the current Imperial heir.

She got everyone in the Shi in joining in her nonsense. Well, it's the Shi members' fault anyway of believing her in the first place

Ultra turbo mega spoilers:

Spoiler

Seriously, big spoilers:

Spoiler

If memory serves, Suirei uses the "resurrection elixir" to make the village's children appear to be dead at the conclusion of the coup, and Jinshi arranges that she and the children are taken into the protective custody of Aduo, since Suirei is the illegitimate granddaughter of the Previous Emperor. The "brat" ends up with amnesia and partial paralysis as a consequence of the medicine, and Maomao ends up getting him a job at the Verdigris House.

 

[LucidDayDreamer]

Damn her dad really just let his wife take away her name like it was nothing

 

[ShaiKhulud]

LN reader here. Gonna be a wild but satisfying ride. Really love the panels.

Since she's considered an illegitimate child by the Big Bitch, I guess it would be the equivalent of denying Sui Ren her father's family name, and she's forced to use her mother's family name instead. It's still pretty common these days, even in the US.

What are the chances of that happening, almost nothing, a 1 in 100.000, an improbable probability... NO WAY.
