Chapter 158: Growing a Little? (3/3)
Because of that it was decided that I will be giving Reinhart-san the scavenger slime fertilizer. Weāll put this plan on hold for now. Weāll continue again once weāve gotten the opinion of the gardener. Itās also good since this will give them some time to think about things.
Next was my success in mass producing Running Mash by using the fertilizer of the scavenger slime. I explained to Pioro-san that Iām currently researching how to cultivate mushrooms without monsterification.
Iāve heard that the cultivation of mushroom is one stop toward finding a thousand pieces of gold, so I thought heād be interestedā¦
āRyouma, is that true?ā [Pioro]
āOf course. All the mushrooms turned into running mash, but I believe it should be possible to cultivate normal mushroom. Iām currently trying to find the right way to cultivate them. By the way, as proof Iāve also talked to Grisiera-san about this and even had a basket full of running mash with me then. You can confirm it with her if you want. If I could use dimension magic here, I would also be able to show you the real thingā¦ā [Ryouma]
āā¦If youāre going that far, then I guess it must be true. You sure love to bring out crazy stories casually, donāt you?ā [Pioro]
He was interested alright, but at the same time, he was also greatly perplexed.
ā¦Letās move on to the next one.
āOne of my female researchers recently discovered that the cleaner slime has a beautifying effect.ā [Ryouma]
āA beautifying effect?ćNow that is very intriguing.ā [Elize]
āYes. This proposal is aimed at women.ā [Ryouma]
The cleaner slime can beautify the skin by removing excess keratin and sebum from it.
Depending on the constitution and age of the person, one might feel some sense of dryness, but as long as they compensate for that, it should be possible to get a good result.
I know that there are also magical charm potions in this world from the medical knowledge of this world that I was given.
Also from what Iāve heard recently, medicine at Fei-sanās homeland, the Zilmar Empire, was too expensive for commoners to be able to purchase. As such, they had to rely on needles, acupressure, and massages to straighten up their bodies. Fei-san and Leelin-san have learned those skills.
Frankly, beauty stuff is outside my expertise, but I do have a smattering of knowledge on it based on the my female coworkers who researched them zealously. I could never really understand why they were so obsessed about it, but⦠You really canāt take a womanās pursuit for beauty lightly. I at least know that much.
On top of thatā¦
āIt makes one wonder just what would happen if slimes, medicinal knowledge, foreign technology⦠etc. All of these were to be gathered together to pursue beauty.ā [Ryouma]
āIndeed. That is very very intriguing.ā [Elize]
I only have a vague idea as far as this proposal goes, but the madamās reaction isnāt bad.
Noble women spend money like water when it comes to prettying themselves, so pursuing this path just might open the doors to a great deal of wealth.
But whatās more is that with this I might just be able to form a connection with all the rich madamsā¦
āSo young and yet what a terrifying mind you possess, Ryouma-kun.ā [Reinhart]
āAre you planning on seizing the hearts of the married noble women? You sure chose a good target.ā [Elize]
āAfter all, thereās no end to the noble women whoāve been sent off to be married with nothing but air in their heads.ā [Serge]
āQuite the schemer, arenāt we?ā [Pioro]
āā¦Oh, no. I know Iām the one proposing this plan, but itās also the one Iām least interested in.ā [Ryouma]
Itās fun just thinking about it, but if I were to actually try and put it into action, it would end up being a high-risk-high-return plan.
Women are strong, but depending on the time and situation, they can become really scary.
I learned that well in my past lifeā¦
āWell, all Iām really doing is considering the possibilities.ā [Ryouma]
āOh? And here I was being very interested⦠If you ever feel like pursuing it, please do come by and consult me, okay?ā [Elize]
ā¦She wonāt pursue it, but sheās not hiding that sheās interested either.
āAh⦠Anyhow, it seems Ryouma-kun is thinking about a lot of things.ā [Reinhart]
Reinhart-san said to help me.
āIt canāt be helped. There are just so many interesting things.ā [Ryouma]
I still have a lot of things I can say regarding the slimes. And there are still a lot topics that can be used.
āBy the way, are you sure itās okay to be talking about this to us?ā [Reinhart]
āItās fine. After all, all I have is the knowledge. I canāt actually implement these things.ā [Ryouma]
In other words, Iām just going all āThe slime can do this! And it can do this! And they can do that!ā And if they just understand that then Iām 80% satisfied. Thatās why if thereās just someone among the people I know who could make use of these knowledge, I wonāt really mind offering it up.
āNormally, one would be less willing to share this kind of stuff.ā [Pioro]
āI donāt think thereās anything to be frugal with if itās you guys.ā [Ryouma]
āYouāre too unattached to your findings, Ryouma-kun. Please do make sure that you donāt get tricked by some weird people, okay? Remember, if you need someone to talk to, weāre here for you.ā [Elize]
āNo matter what it may be, remember, talking is free.ā [Reinhart]
āEspecially, if itās something that can turn a profit.ā [Pioro]
The night had gotten fairly late, so we decided to end our conversation here⦠It felt as if the four adults were worrying over me for a different reason than before, though.
What a pity. I still wanted to talk about my findings regarding the bloody slimeās serum⦠That was actually my best oneā¦
