Chapter 27. The maids were also happy but the most happy was Naul whose under eyes had turned black in a few days.
“Uheung. Madam. You said you'd come soon. Alone, heuk, working, heung.”
I patted Naul's back.
Right, there is a lot of work in our castle.
I have to hire people who can see document work quickly too.
For now there weren't many people who would come to this far and cold north.
Also selecting a trustworthy person was also work.
Even doing, work keeps arising.
The day returned, I slept together with Lus after a long time.
And from the next day it was continuous work again.
The agricultural department, Ron handed a thick pocket.
“It's the Limpl fruit Madam requested.”
Opening the pocket, grass with small purple fruits like sesame was visible.
“Yeah. This is right.”
In my eyes the purple fruits looked like shining golden fruits.
“But what are you going to use this for?”
“Do you know the efficacy of this plant?”
“Isn't it just a weed? It doesn't even have taste, and although weak there's toxicity so if eaten only stomach ache comes.”
“No. This is the material that will make us a huge jackpot.”
If on Earth, Nobel Peace Prize would also have been possible.
Even at my words, Ron still had a puzzled face.
“For now I'll make and feed. Expect.”
I grinned looking at Ron's sparkling crown.* * *‘If I made hair loss medicine on Earth, I could have become a tycoon.’ I let out a deep sigh and stirred the liquid contained in the pot.
Mixing Limpl fruit with Lelong flower, and this and that miscellaneous herbs with water completed the hair loss medicine.
When seeing the original, suddenly writing the hair loss medicine recipe in the afterword out of the blue, what are they doing.
I thought the author was obsessed with the hair loss medicine recipe because of hair loss, but it would be helpful like this.
Blackie who was watching what I was doing while wagging his tail sniffed with his nose.[It's medicine that grows hair?]
Even without telling, Blackie immediately found out the identity of the medicine.
I was surprised and asked back.
“How do you know?”[I saw making it before.]
“Who?”
At my words, Blackie frowned.[That I don't remember well. Probably someone among the spirit beasts made it. Because spirit beasts have nothing to do.]
“Why no work?”[Because there aren't many people who can contract with spirit beasts. Without a contractor, spirit beasts can't converse with humans. No matter how much a spirit beast makes something like medicine that grows hair, how would they spread it when unable to converse with humans?]
“There might be a spirit beast with hair loss.”[My goodness. How can you call a beast whose hair falls out a spirit beast?]
Blackie was shocked shining the glossy white scales.
“You don't know so, in the world there might be a spirit beast holding secret worries with hair.”
The boss of the place I part-timed also I thought was abundant, but it turned out he came out wearing a wig every day.
In summer everyone suffered pretending not to know.[Is Master also like that?]
“Yes?”[Is Master also making such a thing because there's no hair?]
“What? No! Where is this hair hair loss?”
I strongly denied shaking the abundant hair.
Rather if worrying because hair is too much, not hair loss![Places like arms don't have, right. Because it's cold, trying to have insulation function with hair, right?]
“No! Absolutely no!”
Blackie brought out a more bizarre imagination.
Of course if applying this to the arms, hair would grow abundantly, but I didn't want to become like that.
“I'll sell! I'll sell to people whose hair is falling out!”
At my words, Blackie made a puzzled face.[They buy such a thing? Why? If hair is insufficient, just wear a hat and preserve body temperature, right.]
“Human affairs are more complicated than you think.”
Blackie still had a face of not being able to understand.
This guy who doesn't know the delicate emotions of humans.
While chatting with Blackie, the hair loss medicine was all completed.* * *Viscount Glump was the type who was satisfied with his life.
Wealthy family, harmonious home, clear brain.
However he had one worry, exactly the head that peels differently every day.
“Huuuu.”
He looked at the mirror and let out deep sighs.
According to his movement, the thin hair swayed powerlessly.
Right now somehow hiding with hairstyle, but if looking well, the smooth crown was visible between the sparsely grown hair.
Every day washing the head with medicine good for hair loss, eating food good for hair loss, even having meditation time for 30 minutes every morning at the words that stress is not good for hair loss!
“Again, it decreased again...”
Who said the fallen hair grows again.
Once fallen hair doesn't recover again.
At the unbearable despair, he raised his hands upward as if tearing his head, but couldn't tear the precious hair and instead tightly clenched his fists.
Knock Then, someone knocked on Viscount Glump's door.
He barely composed his mind and said in a heavy voice.
“...
Come in.”
His loyal butler came to him holding one box in his hand.
He had never envied the butler even once, but these days whenever seeing the butler's abundant hair, he envied a bit.‘What is that mere hair...’ Even thinking that, he couldn't become detached at all.
Even his rival Viscount Taksen pretends not to mind mere hair volume but every time pretends abundant, sprinkling black powder and going around.
“Viscount. A letter came from the Valfruga ducal house.”
“From the Valfruga ducal house?”
Among the numerous nobles of the Empire, only four families who are founding contributors could wear the title of Duke.
It was a ducal house with overwhelming power comparable to the Emperor, but only one place, Valfruga was an exception.
“What matter suddenly from that completely collapsed place?”
“Well. Isn't it asking to lend money?”
At Viscount Glump's reaction, even the end of the butler's words had a sneer.
If another ducal house, for example the Summerhild ducal house, at the fact of suddenly sending a letter to himself his legs would tremble unable to even stand, but Valfruga was an exception.
He recalled the previous Duke Valfruga who is now deceased that he last saw.
Although trying to set up pride upright, the clothes made of all worn cloth were sufficient to invite the nobles' sneers.‘Look at those rustic clothes. Still wearing things all behind the trend. Even our grandfather wouldn't wear such things.’‘What about that all worn cloth? My goodness. It looks more worn than the cloth we use as rag at home.’‘Did you see the carriage too? Using a carriage that doesn't even have the family's crest attached? Surely not borrowed?’ Insults toward him poured down, but he didn't leave the seat.
Keeping the seat until the end.
That was the condition of the party host who lends him money.
“If asking us to lend money too, it's troublesome.”
Viscount Glump frowned and had the butler open the parcel.
There was no value to open directly.
Inside the parcel there was a small bottle well wrapped so as not to break and one letter.
The wax written on the outer envelope of the letter rippled like flames unlike ordinary wax.
When the butler opened the letter, a black dragon that was coiled as if protecting the letter stared at the butler with red eyes.
And changed into flames and disappeared into the air.
“Wh-what is this? I've never seen such a thing.”
The butler blinked looking at the dragon disappearing into the air.
“It's magic that only the Emperor and the four great ducal houses can use. But it costs quite a lot of money... Where on earth did the money come from to use such magic? So what does the letter say? Asking for money?”
“No. It's not that...”
The butler carefully watched Viscount Glump's mood.
Usually he was a good master, but there was a sensitive corner regarding the head.
“That... it says sending medicine good for growing hair.”
“What?”
Viscount Glump's hands trembled with anger.
“Not even mocking someone!”
Medicine that grows hair!
From the mid-20s when his head started peeling for about 40 years.
He searched for methods to make hair grow again but there was no such thing.
But now suddenly hair loss medicine came out from the Valfruga ducal house that he wasn't even paying attention to?
It was clear mocking himself.
“Immediately...!”
He was going to say immediately throw it away! but the obsession with hair caught him.
What if it's really medicine that grows hair?
Then am I throwing away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
It could really be, right?
Applying once and getting angry is also okay, right?
There's no way a poor place like the Valfruga ducal house can use expensive magic on a letter just playing tricks?
“Ahem. Give me that letter once.”
Viscount Glump arrogantly received the letter with one hand.
Passing the conventional greetings and content like how to use the medicine, the sentence visible struck his heart.‘Someone will say treating hair loss is impossible because it's the same as reviving a dead corpse. But I believe. Hair loss is a disease we can treat.’ Ah, a writing that comforts the heart of a hair loss person this much!
More painful than the spell of grow grow hair hair is the words of taking hope from oneself saying treating hair loss is impossible.
Surely this person also must have hurt their heart at the hair remaining on the pillow when waking up in the morning.
If such a person, wouldn't it be okay to entrust one's hair.
“Viscount?”
When Viscount Glump couldn't continue the words and trembled, the butler called him worriedly.
“Immediately... That medicine, apply a bit on my head.”
“A-understood.”
The suddenly changed attitude of Viscount Glump was flustering, but the butler was a pro so didn't show it.
Instead according to the Viscount's order, he applied the medicine sent from the Valfruga ducal house on the Viscount's smooth crown.
“How long does it have to be?”
“It says it has to be 30 minutes.”
“It takes long too.”
The purple sticky medicine was cold, and itchy when applied on the head.‘Is it not just doing something that can't be done to the precious hair...’ It was worry whether while washing off the medicine the remaining precious hairs would all be swept away.
It was then.
