by In the 44th episode of the anime ” The Apothecary Diaries ” that began airing on May 30th, Nekoneko (CV: Aoi Yuki ) stops thinking just as she is about to realize the true identity of Jinshi (CV: Takeo Otsuka). Viewers repeatedly commented, “She was so close to finding the answer.”
In episode 44, “The Fortress,” it is revealed that Zicui (voiced by Seto Masami ) is the Princess of Loulan. Sui Ling (voiced by Nazuka Kaori) is Zicui’s half-sister, and their father was the powerful prime minister Zichang (voiced by Cho).
Nekoneko deduces that Shisho may have been the mastermind behind the previous incident in which Hibatsu attacked Jinshi. She suspects that Jinshi was targeted because he was trying to change the way the harem was run in opposition to Shisho, but she wonders, “But is that all?”
Maomao, who had figured out that Jinshi was “someone disguised as a eunuch,” asked Suirei, who had also infiltrated the harem as a eunuch, “When you entered the harem disguised as a eunuch, how were you examined?” Suirei replied that multiple people examined him and that it would be difficult for an uncastrated man to deceive them.
Nekoneko continued to speculate, “Then how did Jinshi get in… The only men who could freely enter and leave the harem were the emperor or his relatives.” However, before she could answer, she gave up on the thought, saying, “Okay, let’s put this aside for now.”
This unexpected abandonment of thinking has resulted in a flood of reactions online, with comments such as, “He’s been left behind lol,” “He thought that far through it!?”, “He gave up thinking, lol,” and “He was so close to finding the answer.”
The anime ” The Apothecary Diaries ” is based on a light novel by Natsu Hinata. It has also been adapted into a comic book, and the series has sold over 40 million copies in total. It is a mystery-solving entertainment series in which Nekoneko, the daughter of a pharmacist who has an abnormal obsession with poison and medicine, and the mysterious and handsome eunuch Jinji take on complex cases that occur in the palace.
Episode 44 “Fortress”
The warehouse that Nekoneko and Hibikido invaded was the workshop of Feifa, where Jinshi was also attacked during a hunting expedition. There, the two were discovered by the ruthless woman, Kamimi, who appeared with one of the envoys, Aira.
Although they somehow managed to escape the torture, Nekoneko was imprisoned in a “fortress” surrounded by snow and sturdy walls. Sturdy walls and a large amount of Feifa. Nekoneko realized that she had been caught up in a significant incident that would shake the country.
