Chapter 163: Second Day Meeting (2/3)
A worrying factor appeared from somewhere unexpected, but I think itâs good that Iâm learning about this now rather than later.
âAnd that concludes my discussions.â [Reinhart]
âIn that case, can I start next?â [Elize]
This time it was the madam who spoke.
Contrast to Reinhart-san who passed out wanted posters earlier, sheâs in a good mood.
Itâs probably because of those things I gave her this afternoon.
âElize, itâs been on my mind for a while now, but you seem to have been in a rather good mood since supper.â [Reinhart]
âThatâs right!ăActually, Ryouma-kun made a âbath bombâ and a âsugar scrubâ for me just awhile ago!ăBecause of that all that pent up fatigue from before were washed away in one fell swoop~â [Elize]
The madam started giving her impressions after using those two products I gave her.
âAh, is this related to the beautifying effect you were talking about yesterday? âŠA medicine that can change bath water to a hot spring. What an interesting thing indeed.â [Reinhart]
âRyouma, is that medicine that beautifies the skin that effective?â [Pioro]
âIt would vary from person to person.â [Ryouma]
âI want more of those things you gave me!ăItâs easy to throw a bath bomb into the bath and I was able to warm my body up more compared to just bath water. And just a little rubbing from that sugar scrub was able to change the moisture of my skin!â [Elize]
Seeing the madam talking like this brings me back.
Once youâve gotten used to them already, theyâre nothing much to speak of, but itâs really eyeopening when using them for the first time.
I was the same back in my past life when I first used a sugar scrub.
To be honest, I had no interest whatsoever in beauty, but there was also no reason to waste something Iâd received.
But just one use and I was likeăâHuh? This might actually be really good.â
When I spoke about it at work, everyone laughed since they couldnât imagine a big guy like me using beauty products.
âMadam, what I made this noon was just the simplest type. If I were to fuss over the type of oil used and the perfumed oil, I should be able to make something even better.â [Ryouma]
Bath bombs can also be tuned by changing the amount of bath bomb and citric acid to make the bath water slightly alkaline or acidic.
Using water thatâs slightly alkaline makes it easier to remove filth from the pores in the skin, and the acidity has an effect of neutralizing aging odor. The perfect ally of a man in his forties!
Moreover, water made slightly acidic by citric acid has the effect of allowing one to recover from exhaustion, as well as give anti-inflammatory effects. It also has a sterilizing and deodorizing effect different from that of weak alkaline water. Human skin is slightly acidic, so itâs gentler on the skin compared to slightly alkaline water.
Which one to use depends on whatâs constitution and condition of the skin. Of course, one could choose simply depending on how one feels.
And if you compare these methods with medicinal baths that use medicinal herbs or seasonal vegetations, thereâs a myriad of ways to improve a bath.
âHow wonderful!â [elize]
âItâs effective against aging odor?ăMaybe I should give it a try myselfâŠâ [Pioro]
âPioro, are you worried?â [Reinhart]
âFool!ăIâm not at that age yet!ăItâs just that my wife might have made a passing remark or two before, soâŠâ [Pioro]
âHa ha ha⊠Well, if Elize is praising it to this extent, then it must be amazing.â [Reinhart]
âRight. Ryouma-sama, if itâs no trouble to you, wonât you allow us to also try those bath bombs and sugar scrubs of yours?â [Reinhart]
âItâs no trouble at all. I still have some ingredients left from this afternoon. Iâll make some and send them to your room later.â [Ryouma]
That concluded the conversation with the madam regarding the beauty products.
Next, it was my turn to talk about the things I couldnât talk about yesterday, butâŠ
But everyone suddenly sat straight up.
âWhat is it all of the sudden?â [Ryouma]
âWell, you kept dropping one bomb after another yesterday like those running mash of yours.â [Pioro]
âFrankly, itâs a bit scary wondering what bomb youâll be dropping next.â [Serge]
âI thought it would be a good idea to brace myself ahead of time.â [Elize]
âAlright. My heart is ready. Now, Ryouma! Come and try your worst!â [Reinhart]
âŠBut if they do this, the one who gets pressured is me!
Am I the only one who can feel this atmosphere that makes it feel like I better not talk about anything boring?
âIn that case, letâs talk about another slime use that I wasnât able to talk about last time.â [Ryouma]
While everyone was strangely tense, I talked about the serum of the bloody slime.
First, I gave a simple explanation of what blood serums and antibodies are. I spoke of me teaching a group of new adventurers.
I also explained why my bloody slime ended up ingesting poison.
And then from there, I talked about the slimeâs recovery and the increase in level it observed on its poison skill. Finally, I tied that in with the blood serum and antibodies.
When I started talking about extracting the antibodies and experimenting on animalsâŠ
ââŠâ [Reinhart, Elize, Serge, Pioro]
All four of my audience was wearing a serious face.
ââŠAnd so we sit here justified in bracing ourselves.â [Reinhart]
Reinhart-san said. The other three nodded.
