I am growing to love this series more with each chapter! The world is turning out to be a very fun and unique take on a fantasy setting, and it is neat seeing our MC doing his best with the knowledge he has.

Do all the endoscopies you want this lady needs PPIs for a while. I'm curious to see what author does after mc runs out of supplies. Modern medicine doesn't cure jackshit without medicine and modern hospitals.
Well we found a source of nsaids already. While there are ancient texts on the use of willow, the presence of salicylic acid was found retroactively and was first extracted from oil of wintergreen which sounds similar to these world tree leaf brews. Synthesizing aspirin is a common orgo lab assignment in undergrad and can be done in only a few steps with good yields.

OMG. Why do I have to keep bringing this up on manga, manwha, and manhua sites. A female ruler would be called A QUEEN NOT A KING. Please, do not come at me with how a King is higher than a Queen and therefore to make the female ruler equivalent to a male ruler then you will call her a King. No, you still call her a Queen, she just now has equal power, authority, and status to a King rather than simply being his wife. Just like her husband would still be called a King if that were allowable in her country should a man marry her. For example, in England, some men who marry the Queen do not automatically become kings and retain their original nobility title: Duke, etc. whatever.

I can never tell if it's the translators erroneously doing this, calling female rulers "Kings" when that's a title reserved for male rulers and totally ignoring that "Queen" exists or if it's the original manga, manwha, and manhua authors. But I always find some person in the chat trying to argue with me about how female rulers were once called "Kings" in history and almost always go pull out the most obviously not normal instances when that happened and ignore all of history where female rulers were called Queens in European-esque societies. Full stop.

Similar to when there's a female ruler of the demons and she is referred to as 'Demon King' despite clearly being female.

Yeah, that too. That always kills me. Female Demon Ruler is somehow still called "Demon King" instead of "Demon Queen."

I've been wondering this as well. So far he's been lucky to have exactly the right thing in his bag but there's no way that lasts any reasonable length of time and he certainly can't be carrying enough supplies to be giving weeks of treatment to anyone.

Actually on that note he just has random surgery supplies and medicine on his person traveling to that island?

I mean I have little less than what he has at home in case something pops up but you wouldn't carry this around. Maybe he's taking the stuff he needs the most cuz he's going to a rural facility with dubious resources.

Obviously not normal instances = whenever in history a female ruler was called by a male ruler title in Western and Eastern European countries. No, I'm not going to run through an entire list of the historical abnormalities for you. Suffice to say, they are not that hard to find for someone who wants to TRY to prove male and female ruler titles aren't a thing and they were always somehow all unisex. Almost always the person who finds them misses the context and/or the obvious historical fact that they are rare occurrences.

I'll list one off the top of my head. Can't recall names now. In Hungary, when they didn't have female ruler titles because they didn't allow or expect female rulers, well a time occurred where there were no male heirs to become the ruler for a particular position we would equate with a "king" (can't recall what it was called) and so, their government did not allow for female ruler titles for a particular position and so, for a while, a female ruler was called a "king" until their government allowed for female ruler titles and then she and subsequent female rulers were called "queens" or a female title equivalent to said position. I've obviously oversimplified this example because I did not have the time to go find all the details from a previous conversation somewhere on the interwebs. I only know about it because the person I was debating brought it up and I had to go investigate their claim to discover all of the above context to why said female ruler was called a "king" in Hungarian history. (And, I could have the country wrong as well).

Oh.
That means it's highly likely you meant Poland and Króla Jadwigę
Shame, I thought you had some bit of curio trivia that I didn't

But you're right, I guess, countries/societies that didn't have the concept of queen regnant and instead rolled with queens consorts up until that time had to do some swift realignments when old houses began to die out.

So, I had a little bit of free time and I did the annoying thing of going back 2+ years on my Disqus profile to see where I had this debate. And the countries in question were Poland, Hungary (as I said above), Bosnia, Scotland, Austria, and Lithuania. The female rulers in question were Queen Mary who her mother insisted that she be referred to as "king", and Jadwiga, Mary's sister. In this particular debate, the guy was focusing heavily on Mary rather than Jadwiga. (I'm assuming Jadwige and Jadwiga are the same person without going into anymore interweb digs). For Hungary, it was Maria Theresa (or the same previous Mary), who like many examples you'll find in history, chose to adopt masculine styles and was known as the Archduke of Austria and King of Hungary. As I look back over this conversation, I was on the mark with my memory. I had looked up a few academic journals on the subject and one pointed out that the title of Rex Hungarie was primarily used for males at the time until it gradually began to represent more than just the crown and that the problem of female succession started with the Habsburg Dynasty (Keep in mind, I'm just skimming my post as I type this and could've gotten something wrong in summary should you choose to go digging information up.)

For Scotland, the argument was about the title "prince" versus "princess" and he focused on Elizabeth I and Mary who referred to themselves as "princes" in speech.

Shame, I thought you had some bit of curio trivia that I didn't
That's why I said that they're rare. There aren't a lot of examples out there and people who want to try to prove that it was a thing grasp at straws. Which, itself, is also rare to find someone who is willing to dig through history to try to prove a normal practice to not be a normal practice. Usually I get hit with the, "Well, Kings are higher than Queens, so to make the female ruler the top ruler in a country, she has to be a King" silly argument. (Edited for the slip here)

But you're right, I guess, countries/societies that didn't have the concept of queen regnant and instead rolled with queens consorts up until that time had to do some swift realignments when old houses began to die out.
I mean, it depends. Most of the time it's the females taking on male behavior because female rulers weren't a gigantic thing back then in Western and Eastern Europe.

Oh, so what I was hoping would happen happened: there's just a giant hole where Amami's apartment is. The lightning, or an ordinary gas explosion, couldn't have caused it, so his friends are wondering what could possibly have happened.
