Lunch is over and it's time for a tea break.
It's not a particularly elegant moment, but in the original world, we couldn't even afford a cup of tea in the early afternoon, so I guess it's an elegant and luxurious one.
It's a petite happy time these days to have such a moment with everyone you care about.

My lord. Speaking of which.....
Hmm?　What's going on?

Today, Aina and the others hadn't gone on a quest yet, but were spending some time relaxing and having tea together.
It's not as if they are fidgety and restless around Renge, but they must be lonely when everyone else is having tea and they're not.
Well, I guess Renge likes to move her body better than sitting still.

'About your hair, my lord, is it getting a little long?'
Hmm?　Come to think of it....

He glances up at his bangs, plucking and pulling at the ends of his hair, obviously covering his eyes.
When I shake my face, the tips of my hair flicker around my eyes and itch.

'Yes. It's kind of gloomy.
Yeah. It's like a dark alchemist.
"A rootless alchemist...

It's as if it's the seniors I haven't even met yet.
Maybe it's terrible to assume, but it seems like the seniors are so reclusive that I wonder if they're really in the Alchemist Guild.......

''Hm?　I like White the way he is.
'Ummm but I think you'd find it depressing to have it all around your eyes, don't you?　It seemed to get in the way when we were smelting.
Master. If you don't mind, we can do a quick trim?
'Oh yeah. I'm not particularly particular about--
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!　I want to cut myself!

Renge cheerfully raises her hand and smiles a big smile.
The fidgety, hand-held, fidgety feeling from earlier has been wiped clean, and she's now very much alive and kicking....

''Renge is a bit...''
What?
'Mm...... Renge.........
'Yes. If it were a wren, I'd be better off.

Well if I'm going to ask Renge, I'm going to ask Sorte.
Well, if I'm going to ask Solte, I'm going to ask Wendy.

　Even Wendy is an amateur!
''Yes, but......... At least I don't think I'll fail more than Renge-san.
But what if it doesn't work?
It's...

As for me, I don't mind if I mess up a little bit, but when my gaze met with Wendy's, her face changed to one of worry.

''Well that's true. I'm starting to get a little scared too........ The mission of cutting my master's hair, a mission that I can never fail to do.

No, it's not a mission or anything that big, right?
If you could just lighten my hair a little bit, that would be fine....

Then it's me!　I'm not afraid of failure.　So--
Hmmm, well, I'll ask someone who can...
Could he?　Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
I...
'Just in case...?　I'm good at beauty and hair washing, so I'm sure you're aesthetically inclined and handy...

What do you think?　I guess it's out of range....
But I think I'll go and take a look anyway.
.........Renge, no matter how many hands I raise, I won't let you cut you off.


So, here we are, the Alchemist's Guild!
Of course, it's not Rainrich who has business with me.

'Your hair?　You can do it.

The answer was immediate.
When I spoke to Rhett, who was working at the reception desk looking bored, he complained so happily that it was hard to get him out of it, but when I did, he said, "I usually do my own hair, but you don't have to worry about it failing," he said.

I usually only do my own hair, but you don't have to worry about it failing.
'Ooh. Well, may I ask you then?
Okay. I'm going to make you look good. Mr. Reinrich-sama, I'll take care of the reception.
''Sure, sure. My research is going well, and I'll give you that much in return for bringing me my liver.

Oh, unusually, Rainrich is in a good mood too.
I guess that gift was very effective after all.
On the plus side, maybe giving her a chocolate parfait as a snack for today was just as effective.

Then he entered the alchemy room and began to prepare quickly.
The cloth is unfolded and a chair is placed on it and a cloth is placed around your neck as you sit down.

''Well then, let's get started.''
It's the first time I've ever cut my hair in this world.
Oh, sure, it's a stretch.

It's already been quite a while since we came here.
Come to think of it, do we just cut with normal scissors here too?
I made the combing scissors before when I cut Kuduro-san's hair, I wonder if I'll use them here too....

''Hm?　Mr. Leet. Is that it?
This one?　It's a magic potion.

........Why are the medicines served in the alchemist's guild so suspicious......
What was taken out of the bottle with the red cloth wrapped around it was a red potion.
And when Leet-san held the bottle, the horrible medicine that changed color to skin color.

''.........Really, what is it?''
He's a worrier, isn't he? That's why they say it's a magic potion. If you sprinkle it on your hair before cutting it, even if it goes wrong, it will return to normal.
'Really?　That's awesome....

That's why you said it never fails.
I'm sure the new hairdressers would want something like that to get their hair cut back, or something they'd want down their throats.

'Well, they're really just super tiny slimes. They change to the color of their surroundings, so they blend in with your hair color.
'Slime!　You're going to put slime on your head!

So that's why the color changed from red to skin tone!
I mean, it's not medicine, it's slime!
I thought slime was a demon!

'Yes. This slime is not harmful and is used for medicinal purposes. They have the ability to absorb each hair individually and regenerate each one as an identical organism even if it is cut off, so if you approach the cut hair, it will stick to the hair and regenerate back to its original state.
'Oh, oh... that's it, no side effects or...'
No, I don't. I can wash my hair normally, and it eats the dust and debris in the air. If it bothers you, we can eliminate it with special chemicals.


And it's not a bug........

''Well then, thank you for your help........''
'Yes. How long would you like to cut it then?　Same as before?
Hmmm... but since you're here, I'll leave it to Mr. Riette.
Oh, you're sure?
'Yes, sir. As long as it's not something bizarre, but I think Mr. Leet has good taste, and I'll leave it to him.

Since we don't make any mistakes, and at worst we can turn things back to the way they were, we should try to challenge ourselves.
.........It's not because I always say I'm going to leave it to you, though.

I understand. Then, leave it to me.

With a familiar hand, Rhett drops the slime from the bottle and blends it into his hair.
It's kind of scary that it's not sticky and I don't feel anything in particular.

Then he combed his hair to see if he was ready, and then put the scissors in.
The sound of the scissors and Leet's humming was pleasant.

'It feels good........ You're very good at it, aren't you, Leet-san?
'Really?　Maybe there was a way to do this.
'Yes. It felt so good...
'You can go back to sleep. I'll wake you up when I'm done.
'No, but I don't want to go to bed...'




''You...... Junior-kun. Please wake up. It's over!
Oh, I'm sorry.

I just fell asleep too comfortably....
I'm sorry that I was the one who asked you to do it.

Not at all. You slept well. Now, please look up, I have one last thing to finish up.
Yes.....

When I looked up as I was being made to do with my still sleepy eyes, I could see Leet-san holding a razor blade and a drug through her magnificent 'tits'.


''And I'm sorry, I dropped the gel... hmmm...''

Leet reaches for the bottle of gel that has fallen between my legs.
As she does so, a soft touch lays against my face, and it's so comfortable that I feel like I'm going to fall asleep and fall asleep again.
Your breasts are fresh and soothingly loose and soft, like they're underwater.....

''And, hmmm....I got it!　Whew............　I'm already naughty.
'No, that was Mr. Leet who did it himself...'
Heh, heh, heh, heh. I'm feeling a little richer these days thanks to the gifts I got you the other day, so I thought I'd give you a little something for your trouble.
'Oh how's that?　Is it working?
'Yes of course!　We're upgrading our cosmetics and making new ones all the time!　It's already junior-sama!

This time, Rito-san puts his chest against the top of my head as I look up at the ceiling.
I'm sure he's probably just doing what I'd most like to see him do, but he knows exactly what he's doing.
I'm going to go back and get a gift for Lied-san.
I'll buy it as a top priority, along with Rainrich.

I'm sure you'll be able to get it for me.
Oh, do you even shave your face?
Of course. It's the finishing touches. And also.........set your hair as well.... Hmmmm.

Leet-san smiles happily as he pulls out various bottles of pills and fiddles with my face and head.
I don't have a mirror here so I don't know what's going on, but it probably isn't anything weird.

''Hmmm ... okay. It's done.
Thank you.
'Ehehe. You're looking great!
Really? That guy's going to be popular.
That's for sure!　I'd be tempted to nod off to any request if I was pushed too hard like this!


However, I don't feel bad at all when a beautiful woman like Leet-san says that to me.

''Oh, aren't you going to show me the mirror?
'Well, since we're here, how about we see what everyone's reaction is?　If you don't like it, come back and I can fix it for you.
''Hmm..... Since we're here, shall we do as Leet-san says?
'Yes!　So go ahead then!

I was pushed back with a thump and let out of the alchemy room.
Well, I don't think it's particularly strange to touch, and Leet-san wouldn't joke about it.

My eyes met with Rainrich's, but he only grinned at me.

Alright, I'm pretty sure Aina and the others were in the Adventurer's Guild.
Let's go over there.


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Now, I have to clean up the mess.
You need to save the hair you cut, otherwise it can't be fixed later.
But I don't think there's any need to fix it, but it was perfect without overdoing it, I must say.

I couldn't help but have fun with it, and I used a lot of potions that temporarily boosted my charm....
I think I overdid it with the fairy scale powder and charm dandy essential oil........
It cost a lot of money, but I also received some earth dragon materials from my juniors, well, I'll call it a service.

Aha, it was so good looking that I'd like you to lift your chin in thanks if you could.
If I did that, one of my dreams would have come true.......
