“Well, I’m going to stop by the pharmacy to prepare medicine for a patient”

    “Well then, I’ll freeze the warts again”

    Falma quickly treated the warts with liquid nitrogen.

    “Just a little more to go. I think it’ll be cured after one more session”

    “Thank you. The quick treatment has been really helpful”

    “Yeah, any growth beyond this would’ve been very troublesome”

    “I’m glad there was no pain because of the anesthesia too”

    Liquid nitrogen is a painful treatment because typically no anesthesia is used, but Falma applied some topical anesthesia and that seems to have prevented any pain. He also carefully regulates the dosage of liquid nitrogen. There were so many warts that he had to be patient, but it paid off and progress has been steady. Furthermore, Melodie started drinking Job’s Tears tea with the hope that it would provide therapeutic benefits.

    “Was that the last patient for today?”

    “Come to think of it, has Solomon-san come to the pharmacy today?”

    Falma suddenly remembered and asked Cedric, who stopped working and put down his pen.

    “No, I haven’t seen him”

    “I wonder what happened, maybe he caught a cold?”

    Lotte thought about it as well. It’s been a week since she last saw him.

    “I see. Well, let’s go together, Falma-kun”

    After closing the pharmacy for the evening, Falma and Ellen went to the cathedral together. As they approached, Falma noticed that all the priests were new.
