My Contract With the Apothecary Monster manga volume 2 features story by Ayaka Sakuraze and art by Ino Manmaru.

Job prospects outside the palace are looking grim, however, thanks to Dino's meddling. Nea would punish him… if she knew how to!

So instead, Nea attempts to push Dino closer to Prince Aedalia - her fiancé. Has Nea wildly misinterpreted Aedalia's admiration of Dino, or is there a seed of truth buried somewhere beneath the surface of Aedalia's baffled expression? As the delicate tensions of this new world come into focus, Nea is able to see her situation more clearly…

What might fate have in store for this Songbearer and her “apothecary” monster?
