Perhaps because she is playing a character other than herself, Nekoneko (CV: Aoi Yuki ) is enjoying her exchange with Jinshi (CV: Takeo Otsuka) for the first time in a while! In episode 17 of the anime ” The Apothecary Diaries,” Nekoneko and Jinshi, disguised as different people, walk around town, making viewers exclaim, “It’s a date!!”
In episode 17, the eunuch Jinshi goes out into the city disguised as a commoner to hide his noble status. Then, for some reason, Maomao ends up disguising herself and going out with Jinshi. Maomao transforms from her usual plain appearance to a young lady-like one, complete with heavy makeup and glamorous clothes.
At first, Nekoneko didn’t seem too keen on the idea, but perhaps because she enjoyed becoming a different person, her smile gradually increased. Jinshi had to act as Nekoneko’s servant, but he couldn’t help but act overly confident, so Nekoneko would sometimes scold him, saying that he couldn’t hide his identity that way.
When Jinshi became Nekoneko’s servant and replied with some amusement, “I’m sorry, my lady,” Nekoneko would respond with a satisfied “Very well.”
