薬屋のひとりごと外伝 小蘭回想録

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto Gaiden: Xiaolan Kaisouroku

Experience The Apothecary Diaries from Xiaolan's point of view in novelist Natsu Hyuuga's official spin-off! Xiaolan grew up poor, yet she was content with her simple days spent caring for her siblings. But when her family's desperation forced an agonizing decision upon them... Sent to the imperial palace as a servant, Xiaolan now spends her days washing laundry and attending to the consorts. She doesn't complain about her new circumstances—there is, after all, food to eat!—and before long she befriends a fellow servant, a strange girl by the name of Maomao. Can the pair rely on one another while navigating the scheming, status-seeking society of the rear palace?
