8Deep in the mountains, where humans hardly visit, a hill was suddenly covered in Lily-of-the-valley flowers.
|
|
|
10The Lily-of-the-valley here were much more poisonous than ordinary wild variants.
|
|
|
12It is said to be the fault of the one who lives here...
|
|
|
15Medicine "Convallo, convallo, let's gather some toxin~"
(ZUN typo, uses one of the words found in some of the toxic compounds in lily of the valley, such as neoconvalloside; コンパロ instead of コンバロ; バ (ba) was written mistakenly as the very similar パ (pa).)
|
|
|
18Eirin "What are you doing?"
|
|
|
20Medicine "Those are magic words for collecting poison, you know."
|
|
|
23Reisen "I wonder if you also do this when you're alone."
|
|
|
26Eirin "Hmmm.
|
|
|
28The Lily-of-the-valley here is certainly harsh.
|
|
|
30If one is staying here for long, they will likely unconsciously want to recite some magic words..."
|
|
|
34Reisen "That's true.
|
|
|
36It would be better if we didn't stay for too long.
|
|
|
38This doll here can freely manipulate poison."
|
|
|
41Medicine "Oh, I won't attack today.
|
|
|
43If it's poison you're talking about, I can share a little."
|
|
|
46Eirin "Well...
|
|
|
48I don't quite see in you the ferocity Reisen was talking about."
|
|
|
51Reisen "Master, please don't be fooled.
|
|
|
53Previously, I was attacked with poison soon after we met."
|
|
|
55Medicine "Which is why I'm in a fair mood today.
|
|
|
57Even if there's poison, you can just tell it to please stay away from you two, you know."
|
|
|
59Reisen "How suspicious..."
|
|
|
62Eirin "What are you saying, Reisen.
|
|
|
64To think you'd be distrustful of such a cute doll..."
|
|
|
66Eirin "Though it is suspicious that a doll can move on its own, and even manipulate poison.
Suspicious, yes... But she seems to be simple-minded."
|
|
|
69Medicine "Aside from Lily-of-the-valley, I can share with you my collection of other poisons, you know."
|
|
|
72Medicine "Belladona, wolf's-bane, and... red spider lilies, too."
|
|
|
75Reisen "Master, don't be fooled by her modest guise!
|
|
|
77Just as I thought, she's shady!"
|
|
|
79Medicine has not given up on the idea of doll emancipation.
|
|
|
81She simply thinks that the time is not yet right.
|
|
|
83She needs to gather allies.
Thus, she must first acquire a deeper understanding of the world that lies beyond her hill of Lily-of-the-valley.
|
|
|
86However, making friends and making poisons are two different matters. The former involves other people.
|
|
|
88In other words, one must be able to capture the hearts of others.
|
|
|
90Medicine is still learning about socializing.
But she has now learned that possessions and appearances alone will not gather genuine support.
|
|
|
93The most important thing for gathering friends is to be able to also empathize with the pain in others' hearts.
|
|
|
95A realization like this, that a perpetual shut-in can never learn, confused Medicine.
But from this, she also resolved to try and spend time with others a little more from now on.

98Congratulations! Ending No. 12
