・薬屋のひとりごと 4 (94% → 100%)
Woo! I finished the book 
I feel like the style of this book is different from the previous ones because the story is becoming more and more tied into one big story rather than those episodic chapters from the first two books. I really like this series right now, I can’t wait to read more.

| 円卓 | えんたく | テーブル | round table | (not 卓子 this time) |
| 飛発 | ？ | じゅう | gun | gun → 銃, setting is Tang dynasty |

Here are some expressions as a bonus:

I read a bit of the next book too. Now there are so many characters to keep track of, there’s a 人物紹介 list, hehe.
