[Weekly Short-Short Prompt] Old Man Chest

A Chinese herbal medicine shop in a corner of town.

In its medicine chest, little old men are packed tightly together.

The labels read 'Lazy Old-Man-Powder', 'Efficient Old-Man-Powder', 'Chatty Old-Man-Powder'—

Depending on the customer's symptoms, the perfect 'Old-Man-Powder' is prescribed.

When a customer confided, 'Lately, I just can't seem to settle down...', the shopkeeper nodded and took out the 'Lazy Old-Man-Powder'.

As the customer swallowed it, a warmth spread slowly over their tongue, and the voices of the old men echoed.

'You don't have to rush so much, you know.' 'Why don't you lay down a cushion and take it easy?'

Their body gradually relaxed, and the customer found themselves taking a nap on a quiet veranda.

On the other hand, for a customer who said, 'I just can't seem to find the energy...', 'Efficient Old-Man-Powder' is prescribed.

A sharp, tangy flavor spread, and a powerful voice could be heard from within their body.

'Alright, let's start by tidying up the desk!' 'Next is replying to emails! Let's move efficiently!'

Their mind became clear, and the work they had been putting off began to get done.

Now, the one I was prescribed this time was 'Mystery Old-Man-Powder'.

I wonder, what kind of effect does this have, exactly—.

This time, starting from the prompt 'Old Man Chest', I created this based on the idea that 'XX-Powder' is a common name for Chinese herbal medicines (*^-^*)♪
