Even in the middle of an epidemic, she'll keep surviving!

The artwork is also excellent, with detailed and expressive illustrations that bring the story to life. Overall, highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun and exciting read.
Kaoru's abilty to decode secrets brings her to a nobleman's house to find his family's hidden treasure. Cheat abilities activate! And on the way home, we run into Layette's previous owner (remember she was a sold to be a slave) because apparently that was a loose end, but nothing even really happens, so back to the shop.
But, what ho! The local apothecary guild is jealous of Kaoru's success and demands she share her secrets... so she changes her business plan and sells her cures to different apothecaries for them to distribute to the public. Mua ha ha, Kaoru is the smartest and can best anyone.
But, oh no! The country is suddenly under attack from a plague! So Kaoru swoops in and saves the day, revealing her near godliness to everyone. And while investigating the source of the plague, they find a distortion! No worries, just phone your friend THE GODDESS and she'll smite this so quick you'll barely have time to get out of the blast radius.
So slightly more interesting plot, but it gets spoiled by Kaoru's omnipotence.
