This chapter opens with a conversation between Baichuan, the master of the house, and his servant, the "poison fairy" . Baichuan asks the servant why he hasn't seen a "coquettish" girl before. The servant replies that he thinks the master is "overthinking" the situation. He also says that he's going to find out why the girl isn't acting like a girl before, and he'll do it the next time he sees her. The master replies that this is the "doctor" , and that he smells like medicine. He says that his sister studies medicine all day, so his smell is "natural" and not "medicine." The master says that the smell of "abnormal atrophied" bones is a side effect from taking "shir body tonic," and that's why he can't tell the difference between medicine and medicine.
