So that dude literally move his brain into a little girl corpse or something?
Well, he is a lich. The more believe-able explanation would be him creating the 'perfect girl body' and then possessing it, or took example from Ship of Theseus and rebuilt his body part-by-part using girls' body part.
Suffice to say, the protagonist's esteem went down quite a bit as a result of the company he chooses to keep. Although, it may be a testament to the lengths he'll go to save his patient. That is he's willing to owe this *thing* a favor in exchange for it's help. I wish the story had done more to establish some misgivings about dealing with this monster.
The Monster was literally an undead, though. In the modern sense, he's pretty much a patchwork zombie, except without the "BRAAAAAAAAAINS" part.
The flesh golem in D&D is Frankenstein's monster with the serial numbers filed off, straight down to lightning magic powering it. (Making it a construct, rather than undead. It simply uses meat instead of clay or iron.)
From the D&D standpoint, a "Demi-lich" is a lich whose body has begun to decay, but it seems here that she's more like someone who experimented on herself to extend her lifespan and is partly still living flesh and blood and partly replacement parts kept together with magic, like a magic cyborg type of thing.

Yeah, no. The story and character are clearly not going to have the same degree of disgust for the concept that you do. Kusuriuri-san only had misgivings because it was a long journey and it would be really expensive to pay for treatment. Probably best for you to just find another series to follow at this point...

If seems he paid for the favor with coins and gems.

Its good to know that the Dumner still post on Danbooru despite these trying times.

He probably tried to revive his sister, failed, and did the only thing he could; put his brain inside of her body. The creep train has no brakes.
At this rate, our precious elf-chan will end up half zombie.

Maybe you missed the part where the lich was the medicine seller's doctor long ago, who was introduced to him by the mentor who saved his life, who in turn is part of the reason this medicine seller is going to such lengths to help this elf? I'd say Adamska is a positive influence more than anything else based on what we've seen so far. Remember, Medicine Seller could have used a restorative potion to fix her necrotic limbs, but didn't do so because it would take from her lifespan if he did that. Instead, he chose to bring her here.
Edit: Or was it also that he couldn't make it with his skills? Not quite sure on that one.

Considering the state they're in, still better than the limbs being amputated (which they're pretty much on track for if magic doesn't fix them). A patient's body image is very important; anything that impacts it negatively means you need to keep a closer eye on the patient's mental health. Amputations can be a BIG hit to the patient's body image. Given the choice, quite a few patients would probably prefer their own limbs be zombified and fixed up than use a conventional prothesis. Still going to run into the issue that they shouldn't eat as much since their body isn't actually supporting them nutrientwise, but they still have their limb more or less intact, and probably don't have to worry about phantom limb syndrome either.

Gonna nitpick a bit about this one: the reason why Medicine Seller picked Adamska instead of using High Potion to rejuvenate Elf's necrotic limbs was the unique situation where Adam was both a necromancer and half-lich. Meaning he (or she?) knew how to prevent body parts from further decay, as well as keeping those body parts alive, which means those parts could respond to normal medicine instead of High Potions. Not only that, Medicine Seller probably brought her here because he didn't want a repeat of the last poisoned capsule incident: Adamska has the Arma ability, which uncovers anything about the examinee's body, most probably including foreign objects and curses. Half-zombie is still better than amputation, yes, but there's more important reason: the rest of the intact tissue could still heal and regenerate the zombified part, eventually restoring them into full-living tissue (like what most Diabetics can achieve instead of amputating the affected parts).
[...]and probably don't have to worry about phantom limb syndrome either.
Just wanted to point out this is definitely true. Phantom Limb Syndrome is caused by the brain trying to "reuse" the portions of the brain involved in touch and sensation of different limbs to new ones, causing the brain to still think it's feeling with missing limbs. Treatments for it involve ways to trick the brain into thinking it still has those limbs (such as using mirrors to have someone see themselves clench "both" fists at the same time), so having actual limbs responsive to your motions would absolutely prevent Phantom Limb Syndrome.
I will point out that the Medicine Seller specifically refers to Adamska as 彼/he in the last box. I was using non-gendered pronouns before seeing that, just to be safe, but at least in the Medicine Seller's point of view, Adam is male, no matter what the parts he's using currently make him look like.

I do have the sense that Adamska is indifferent to gender identity, either in themselves or others, but it does seem they were born male and Kusuriuri-san refers to them with male pronouns, so my personal inclination would be to tag Adamska as male.
That said, the fact that his current fleshly habitation happens to be female (if not particularly prominently so) means that he's gonna be tagged as female unless we have a consensus to do otherwise.

We don't exactly have insight into all the body parts that have been mix-and-matched, but otoko no ko tend to be tagged as boys, even when that isn't something you can see in that image. (I.E. Astolfo gets tagged male even when everything on screen appears girl.) We could do androgynous instead, but if everyone is treating Adam as male, then for lack of any contradicting information, wouldn't that be what we go with?
As you might expect, my reading comprehension takes a hit when I see nothing but red.
Could you read the boxes before they were translated to English? If I remember correctly, you made your statement about Adamska transferring his brain before the translations were available.

Honestly, he looks more like a young male than a female. Those look more like pectorals to me, not breasts

You must have a sort of masochistic side to continue posting like that, we all know you hate zombies and zombie-like themes, you don't have to declare it, with such hatred and fervor everytime it pops up in something you moderately like. Perhaps take a step away from the keyboard and just enjoy some tea.
I love how this magic is formed by what seem to be graphical measurements of Rizure's body instead of yet another generic looking magic square.
You can even see details like what appears to be a magical version of a stethoscope coming down from Adamska's ears and what looks like a heartrate monitor around Rizure's left shoulder. It's a really neat depiction of a "medical" magic as opposed to the usual white magic.

I seriously want to try playing D&D one day and see how many flesh golems I can build with enemies bodies.
Well, you've paid your debt for now, so you should definitely rest for the time being.Well, what's most important is that you're safe, but...
What about the money? THE MONEY.Thank you very much...Magic tied to the user's soul and innate abilities that can only be understood by those who have undergone a plethora of practiceHell no
Absolutely notWill this be enough to cover it...?*Cha-chiーng!*Huuuuuuh• Grand Magic (Arma)I'll "examine" her for ya
With my 「Grand Magic: Arma」...Elf bones after so looong ♥I have it, of course, but you wouldn't be hurting for money if you just held a job, Ada-Adamska was formerly a human who literally offered up his own flesh in pursuit of the study of the body, and
continued his magical-medical research by procuring new parts through ethically questionable means...H~m, excellent!
I shouldn't have any issues gathering parts for awhile with this.Though while I say that, I've spent quite a lot of time with him, so even though he's certainly an oddball, I'm well aware that he's not a bad person.
There was nothing I could do under my own power for the condition of Reszurre's limbs, but I was sure that he would be able to grasp it.
