Episode 17 the second season of Kusuriya at Hitorigoto , released on May 2, shows us the location of Momao and reveals information about Shisui's true identity. In addition, Jinshi receives information about the disappearance of the new eunuch, which is actually suire.

Earlier, as soon as Momao found that the new eunuch was actually Superi, she was forced to follow the former desero to the outside of the imperial palace; Otherwise, Shisui would suffer the consequences. In the current episode, the apothecaria follows Superi without knowing where they are going, but an intriguing situation catches your eye. 

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto: Momao discovers part of Shisui's secret

The work Kusuriya in Hitorigoto does not disappoint when it comes to the construction of the mystery that involves the narrative. It is not today that Momao suspects Shisui. It is necessary to remember that in the episode “Haunted History” the protagonist noticed a certain familiarity in the physiognomy of the character.

Also, in the previous episode, Momao reflected on Shisui possessing an expensive book and also about knowing how to read and write, something rare among the servants. With this, it is clear that every detail mentioned or displayed in the narrative may be important in the future, just as the work has done so far.

Returning to the current episode, as they walked to their final destination, Momao realizes that Suirei is afraid of a snake that is in the forest. However, what really catches the attention of the apothecaria is the fact that Shisui tries to defend Superi, which is very strange, as she was responsible for threatening and forcing the girl to go with them.  

Momao, who is soon suspicious of Shisui's attitude, tells both that he has already realized that they know each other. In this way, the girl reveals that she is the sister of Suire. However, the protagonist reflects that, although he cannot say for sure, "perhaps Shisui is ...". The problem is that it does not finish the sentence, as it follows its way and leaves the thought aside to provoke even more curiosity in the viewer about the girl's identity.

When they arrive at the destination, Momao understands that this is a village. At the site, the apothecaria realizes that Shisui and Suirei seem to be well known to the residents. In addition, she discovers that one of the foreign envoy, which appeared in the episode "Spirit of the Moon", is in the village. However, the reason remains a mystery.

Jinshi discovers that there is something wrong with the new eunuch and shisui

Following the disappearance of marama from the internal palace, Jinshi and Gaoshun look for clues to try to find her. With this, they discover that the school that teaches the imperial servants was the last place where they saw it. In a search for more information, the two go to the girl's foster father, Luomen, who is currently acting as a temporary doctor of the palace.

Thus, Luomen discovers that Maomao left the palace health post with a medicine whose smell attracts cats and, consequently, the cat, which is also called Momao, followed the girl to a part of the way. While looking for the cat, Luomen realize that there is a piece of paper hidden in a tree.

Apparently the paper is blank. However, the apothecaria's foster father knows that it is possible for the girl to use tea or juice to write on paper, and both materials only appear when the sheet is heated. When ideograms arise, Jinshi cannot understand their meaning, as Momao seems to have written them in a hurry, which made writing confused.

Jinshi takes the paper to the Gyokuyo consort, seeking her help and the ladies of the Jade Palace. Only one of the three sisters, ladies who recently entered the palace, seems to understand one of the ideograms. She suggests that the symbol can mean "sui" and associates it with shisui. As Jinshi does not seem to know who this person is, the lady of company clarifies that it is one of the servants that accompanies the mooomao on certain occasions.

In the final scene of the episode, Gaoshun reveals to Jinshi that there is no servant called Shisui in the records. In addition, he reports that one of the palace's eunuchs also disappeared. In addition, before finishing the chapter, a eunuch appears to report something about the Gyokuyo consort. However, closing begins before viewers understand what it is. Spoiler: In the manga the consort goes into labor, so it's likely that the eunuch will talk about it.

The mysteries connect one by one and deliver a solid and well-built narrative

Many characteristics support Kusuriya in Hitorigoto , and the script is one of them. There is no denying that the plot of the work is very well built. In addition, the details and mysteries connect and make the work solid and without loose ends. Despite the lack of explanation at some points, it is likely that everything is really addressed in the future, because so far the work has shown that nothing is left behind.

In addition to the script, it is undeniable that the animation, produced by Toho studio , is very beautiful. Vibrant colors, character design and details of each scene complement the work. In addition, there is the protagonist, who alone conquers viewers with their unique way.
