Jinshi-sama, Your Voice Is Too Loud! In "The Apothecary Diaries," Jinshi Is Completely Flustered by the Emperor's Remark About Making Maomao a Consort

The Emperor's (CV: Daichi Endō) remark, "Shall I make (Maomao) a consort?" and Jinshi's (CV: Takeo Ōtsuka) flustered reaction to it... In the anime "The Apothecary Diaries," watching Jinshi genuinely panic over the Emperor's joke is impossible not to grin at.

Jinshi, a eunuch who manages the rear palace, is the very person who handpicked Maomao (CV: Aoi Yūki) as a food taster. At first, he saw Maomao as a convenient pawn, but before long, it seems he began to harbor special feelings for her...

In Episode 31, the trio of Maomao, Jinshi, and the Emperor visited the labyrinth-like "Temple of Choices." Maomao came up with a method to choose the correct path and asked the old eunuch (CV: Yoshito Yasuhara) who manages the temple, "Would it be possible to pass through once more?" However, she was turned down with, "We can't let people in that many times," and "Besides, you're neither a consort nor a princess."

Then, the Emperor half-jokingly said something outrageous: "Then shall I make (Maomao) a consort?" At the Emperor's words, Jinshi seemed even more flustered than Maomao, strongly admonishing him with, "You jest! What would the other consorts think!"
