"A serum made in the Church of Soma. You don't think this is really the cause of the curse, that it is?"

"I'm sure of it, Galius. Your wife and Marlon used to use this, didn't they?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mm. That is correct, that it is. That Marlon wanted this serum, that he still wants it now. He wants his skin back."

　The cause of the curse that Oliva discovered.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a high-end cosmetic product imported from the Church of Soma and sold in the country.

　When Galius heard about it in the village of Barca, his shoulders trembled.

　The cosmetics had been his late wife's favorite, and she had given them to the then young Marlon as a memento of her mother.

　Marlon, not knowing that the cosmetics would cause his health to deteriorate, applied the emulsion to his skin and became ill, and even bought expensive life-prolonging medicines from the Soma cult, which was the source of the problem.

　One can't help but be angry.

"But it seems to have a very good reputation. I've heard that it makes your skin smooth and supple without a doubt. This time, there was a recall, but there are some people who are against it.

"The opposite opinion, that is?　Are you going to tell me that you are willing to make yourself sick, that you are?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That could be a possibility. After all, Norn and I have an excellent track record. Some people may think that if they can be cured even if their bodies are deteriorating, they don't mind. Well, I guess beauty is that important."

"Well, it's the end of the world, isn't it?"

　This time, he has succeeded in getting Banagher and others in the Orient to issue a notice forbidding the use of this cosmetic product.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I am not sure to what extent this is effective.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is that even though the use of the cosmetics is prohibited, there is no punishment for using them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is your own responsibility.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may only have the effect of making people aware of the danger of using it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, we do not want you to continue to use it without any hesitation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just because a treatment is possible does not mean that a cure has been established.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if I or Norn can cure it, it is a kind of personal skill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we are gone, there is no cure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think it's a good idea to leave such a dangerous thing out in the open forever.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the meantime, the merchants of the first patient we saw have told us that they will take measures to prevent this medicine from being distributed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The idea is that even if the users do not give up their cosmetics, if the merchants do not sell them, they will not fall into the hands of others and they may not get sick.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That may have a point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Banagher had another opinion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the possibility of black market.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If highly effective drugs are banned and restricted from the market, they will be superficially out of circulation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it may only make them less visible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For example, there was once an attempt to ban alcohol in some small country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But in the end, the illicitly brewed alcohol was traded on the black market, leading to the expansion of the power of the underworld.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although alcohol and cosmetics may be different, they are watching the situation with caution because of such a possibility.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it may be that it is meaningless to stop the distribution of alcohol in the Orient if it is sold in other countries.

"I see. It's quite a difficult thing, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But this could be a good opportunity. It could be a new profitable business opportunity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A new business opportunity, that it is?　What do you intend to do, is that it, Mr. Alphonse?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh. If we can't strongly prohibit the use of the cosmetics in question made in the Soma countries, we can always find alternatives. In a way, that's how much demand there is for cosmetics, isn't it?　We can put more cosmetics on the market that have more cosmetic benefits."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you mean, that you do?　Are you suggesting that Mister Alphonse is going to make and sell some kind of cosmetics?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right. We will sell cosmetics from the village of Barca. New cosmetics made by me that cured an incurable disease. Now I can reach out to other merchants besides Kristina and the others. I'm sure there will be many who will jump at the chance if we market it widely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That may be so, that it may be, but can we prepare highly effective cosmetics so quickly, that we can?　Developing new products is in a way the most difficult part of manufacturing, that it is."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No problem, no problem."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The plan I told Garius.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The plan was to market a new cosmetic product from the village of Barca that would be a highly effective substitute for the previous cosmetic product.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The village of Barca has been successful in making magic tools, but they wanted to have a stable source of income other than magic tools if possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This case may be a good opportunity for them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have an idea about the new cosmetics.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If, as Garius says, we are going to develop new cosmetics, it will probably not happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that is not a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because I already have the materials and the process.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The raw material for the new product is salt grass, which I planted as a countermeasure against salt damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is an unusual plant that removes excess salt from the soil, and it is also a poison.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Saltgrass is toxic when touched.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if the toxicity is successfully treated and refined, it can be used as an aphrodisiac.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, this salt herb has other uses besides being an aphrodisiac.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, it is because Brother Kyle found it out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many of Kyle's properties were also affected by salt damage, and he used to plant salt grass there as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, Brother Kyle, who has a contract with a higher spirit of the plant, developed a way to use the saltgrass not as an aphrodisiac but as a cosmetic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The salt herb, which contains ingredients that have a strong effect on the human body, can also be used as a highly effective medicine if it is processed properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The cosmetics made by Brother Kyle are now used not only in the Reed family's territory, but also in various places in the United Kingdom of Fontana, and are said to be highly appreciated.

　It is said that rough skin improves in no time, wrinkles and blemishes disappear, and even the hair becomes luscious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, Ai knows how to make the cosmetics, and he has already obtained permission from Kyle to make and sell them here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, the village of Barca started to produce new high quality cosmetics.
