1280 Episode 1280



The kako shop, the white scent shop, wasn't so big.
 It may be said, however, that it is large enough if you think that you are doing it by yourself.
 Various cosmetics are displayed in such a shop.

"...this is all right,"

 Exhibiting goods openly in stores is done in other stores because they are confident that they can manage themselves even if they are stolen, they have guards, or they are fake.
 But as far as Ray can see, the cosmetics displayed here don't look fake.
 Ray may well have such an impression, given that he was outside talking to Kenny without even sitting in the store.

"Ah! Well, this store has a lot of guild staff and adventurers. Do you think there are quite a few people who use the perfume that Kakou mixes, and that they will leave the person who caused harm to this shop.

 If you say so, Ray has no choice but to agree.
 Ray knew how much a woman would spend on beauty.
 Even when I was in Japan, I saw my mother buying a lot of cosmetics.
 Looking at Kenny taking off his coat and heavy clothing, Ray asks questions in his present explanation.

"But don't you need me?"

 If guild workers, female adventurers, and a few but male adventurers buy cosmetics, they won't have to worry about sales.
 It was not Kenny, but Kako, who was playing with Seto, who answered Ray's words.

"No! I want people to enjoy perfume more if possible." and there's a perfume for adventurers."
"Perfume for adventurers?"

 When Ray was told so, he came up with a perfume to disguise his body odor.
 If you go out after receiving a request for subjugation or collection, there are some monsters and animals that have a keen sense of smell, even though they are not as good as wolves and dogs.
 In such a case, use perfume to make it odorless... or to make it smell like some other monster or animal.
 But he immediately shook his head.
 That's because I thought I should call it perfume already.

"Yes. I don't think men really care, but women care about all kinds of odors. and there are insects in the woods, aren't there?"
"Oh, that'said he.

 I remember hearing from Ray that perfume was originally developed to mislead the body odor that didn't take a bath.
 However, that's just the knowledge Ray gained in Japan.
 It may be different in Elgin.

"That's right. I just want others to use perfume, as I said before." Is there any way?"

 Kako asked me with a slight bow, but Ray had little knowledge of that, so there was no way to answer.

"You may say so," To make a perfume that stinks so much as an offensive tool against monsters and animals with a sharper sense of smell?"

 Ray imagined tear spray.
 Of course, the stench doesn't necessarily make us cry, but if we think of it as an offensive tool, it's not that bad.
 That's how I thought...

"No. I want you to think of a more peaceful way to use it!"

 Kakou screams whether he liked Ray's words.

"Peaceful... well, usually perfume is used peacefully." even if I ask you how to do it."

 Ray thought back to his time in Japan, but it was impossible to ask Ray, who had never even used perfume properly, to think about peaceful ways to use perfume.
 Still, Kako's tearful eyes make Ray wonder if he should do something about it.

"Please do something about it,"

 Ray is looked at with moist eyes, and even if he says so, he still worries...
 Don't you have any experience with your experience in Japan.
 One idea passes through Ray's mind the next moment.
 I can't think of anything because I thought of it as perfume.
 Perfumes are odors, and in other words, if they have anything to do with it...

"A deodorant?"
"So, I'm not the sort of guy that adventurers use, I'm more peaceful."
"No, it's not, it's a deodorant in the room."
"...the deodorant in your room?"

 They may have decorated flowers to enjoy their smell and appearance, but they probably didn't have the concept of using deodorants in the room.
 Kakou gives Ray an unexpected look.

"Oh, there's a lot of smell in the room. It's the sweat of an adventurer, the smell of cooking, and so on. Why don't you make a deodorant that can get rid of that smell... or overwrite it?"

 When Ray went to a friend's house in Japan, he once smelled lavender when he entered the room.
 Ray wasn't too sensitive to odors, but his friend was quite sensitive to the smell in his room.
 He remembered it and wondered if the deodorant in the room would sell.

"Well... maybe?"

 Kakou probably thought Ray's opinion was not bad at all. He was looking at Ray with interest.
 Ray opens his mouth again to such a kako.

"But we'd better make it as cheap as possible. If it's as expensive as real perfume, you wouldn't think of buying it. -- well, if possible, a few copper coins."
"What!? Well, that's impossible, no matter how much you think of it says.

 Perfumes are cheap, but a few silver coins... if they're expensive, they're even worth a few white coins.
 How do you tell me to make a few copper coins of that perfume?
 Even Kakou, who has a natural personality, probably couldn't agree with Ray. He's looking at Ray with an expression of dissatisfaction.
 Kenny looks at Ray somewhat dumbfounded, wondering if he thought Kako's opinion was justified.

"You may say so," After all, perfume doesn't sell well because it's expensive, right? Then even if it's a little cheaper, wouldn't it make a profit if you get interested in perfume?"

 You never thought you'd be so opposed. mutter with a little surprise
 For Ray, the price of deodorant when he was in Japan was about that, wasn't it? That's why he said it.
 To introduce perfume, I dare sell it cheaply and interested in perfume itself.
 Kako is troubled by Ray's explanation.

"Well... if you think about it that way...
"I think so, too. And the deodorant in the room you're talking about is just for beginners, right? Then the perfume doesn't have to be of that high quality."
"That's true, but what do you do with deodorizing perfumes? What adventurers are using is only a small part of course."Huh? Can't I just keep the perfume bottle open?"

 Ray's mind was filled with spray-type deodorants he saw in TV commercials, as well as deodorants he could just leave behind.
 Wondering if he could do it the same way, Kako shakes her head.

"No, that's too early for the perfume to run out, and only the place where the perfume is placed will have a strong smell."
"...is that so?"
"Yes. If you do what Ray says, you need to make sure you have specialized tools." Besides, as Kenny says, we need to make some cheap perfumes."
"But if things go well, wouldn't it be possible for this store to monopolize deodorants? I don't know how many stores sell cosmetics in Gilm. -- well, I don't think it's going to be possible for such a long time, for some of you will soon be able to imitate me."
"Well... I don't know what to do." If we can follow Ray's suggestion, I think more people will use perfume..."

 It's almost certain that we'll make a profit.
 That seems to be the case, but most of them fail... Kako didn't have the courage to take such a gamble on her own.

"Then why don't you invite others? Why don't you get some people who handle perfume like Kakou and pay for it? What you need is an instrument to keep the perfume from being lost right away, right?

 Kenny quits, though, that he won't be able to monopolize the profits.
 Kenny's words must have been appealing to Kako.
 I immediately began to think of someone who would invite me, like, "Who, who, who, and so on.

"Is it OK to make less profit?"

 Ray asks Kenny about Kakou's simple choice of safety.

"Yes, Kakou is the type who likes to do things with people. ... of course I like to do something with Ray."

 Kenny turned his eyes on Ray, but Ray looked at him unnoticed.

(He is a beast of dogs, so does he like to be in large numbers?)

 Dogs like to work with their peers, and cats are individualistic.
 It was only Ray's image, but it may not be that he did not tend to be a beast.

"Wait a minute, Are you listening to me?"
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. So?"
"... well, that's all right. Do you have any other good opinion about perfume?"
"You can't come out so soon, can you?" I finally came up with the idea of a deodorant for my room. -- oh, but I think it would be convenient to have some insect repellent perfumes."

 Is it by Ray's magic or by Gryphon's set?
 I didn't know that, but mosquitoes don't approach Rey or Seto.
 In that sense, I thought that insect repellent perfume was convenient when I was working with someone.

"Oh, well, I'll give you this, this and this."

 After hearing Ray's words, Kako easily gives Ray three bottles of perfume that can repel insects.

"I don't mind if I get this," Perfumes are basically expensive, aren't they?"
"Yes, yes," But Ray taught me about perfume."

 If all three bottles of perfume were to be had, that would be more than a silver coin.
 Ray was surprised by Kako's easy delivery of something worth it, but what he replied was the slow words of Kako."
 That attitude leads Ray's gaze to Kenny, wondering if he should really get the perfume he was given.
 But Kenny nods without a sign of hesitation.

"Isn't it okay to get it? Actually, thanks to Ray, Kako will be able to try a new way of using perfume."
"Yes, thanks to Ray, more people will use perfume, and it's not a bad thing to pay for it."

 Kako tells me that Kenny's words are correct.

"Really? ... I'm not asking you anything, and I don't need any particular reward." Well, if you're going to give it to me, I'll take it."

 Ray gazes at the insect repellent perfume, judging that it would be rude to say no.
 It's probably because it's made for adventurers. Compared to other perfumes, it was made coarsely.
 Many perfumes like those used by aristocrats look like a work of art from a container.
 It's not only glass, but also magical materials, some of which are made by alchemists using jewels.
 But there was no need for the adventurous perfume to be so immersed in containers.
 You don't have to have such an expensive thing if you think it could break down during a battle.
 ...however, some people have such perfume bottles instead of perfumes, which are highly convertible.
 This is not unusual.
 It's natural that processed jewelry is more expensive than simple jewelry.
 It wasn't unusual to have something very cashable, not just jewelry bottles.

"Yes. Now I can show everyone how wonderful perfume is."

 Kakou laughs happily at Ray's acceptance of the perfume he gave him.
 For Kakou, business is important, but... it's the first thing that many people know about and use the perfume they're into.
 It is undoubtedly true that this broadens the range of business.
 After that, the novelty of the deodorant used in the room led to the popularity of guillem... the aristocrats of the royal capital knew of its existence and bought everything without paying attention to gold, and the deodorant became one of guillem's specialties.
 Of course, merchants other than Gilm would try to make similar things about the deodorant, but some of the ingredients were available only in remote areas, so they gave up.
