In Episode 45 of the anime "The Apothecary Diaries," which has been airing since June 6th, Maomao (CV: Aoi Yuki) is subjected to a torture scene involving snakes... However, Maomao's unexpected behavior has left viewers on the Internet confused, with comments such as "She's too strong" and "Is this supposed to make her happy?"

In Episode 45, "Toad Plate," Maomao, who defied Shenmei (CV: Rica Fukami), is subjected to a punishment called "Toad Plate." This ancient execution method, used by a mad king, involves locking a criminal in a hole and throwing in snakes. Although Maomao wasn't put in a hole, she was released into a small torture room with snakes and bugs, seeming to be in a big pinch.

However, Maomao holds a hairpin and flashes a bewitching smile, saying, "How adorable." When the guard returns to the torture room, a savory smell wafts from the room... Upon opening the door, the guard finds Maomao eating the snake that she had skewered with her hairpin and roasted over a torch.
