Soap
"I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Holiday
I was meeting Aristes outside the school.
This is to have the relationship between Idouard and his current fiancée investigated.
But it wasn't Aristes who came.
"Aristes-sama was suddenly called to the home country and left this place two days ago."
"Is it related to the attack on the imperial capital?"
"The matter seems to have calmed down to some extent, but it seems like the Edgeworth family is doing something, but the details are unknown to us."
"Hmm... well, then, are you the one replacing Aristes from now on?"
If he hasn't contacted me, it must be a message from my father telling me not to probe, not to get involved.
"Yes, I may be inferior in some ways compared to Aristes-sama, but I will protect you with my life."
The person who came in his place was a middle-aged temple knight.
It seems that Aristes nominated him, so he must have the ability.
He's a chubby male knight in his mid-30s who gives off a rather plain impression.
"Now let's get to work. Find out about Idouard's fiancée."
"How far should we go?"
"All within the realm of the imperceptible."
There's something about that woman that I don't like, but it's just a hunch.
"It's a photo. Develop it and check the face."
"Is this the latest small camera?"
It is a gadget shaped like a fountain pen.
A camera with a single microfilm built into it, developed for the dark side
"I think I was able to take the picture, because I suppressed the camera's shaking."
"I got it"
"It's the golden-haired woman on the left. You don't have to investigate the man that much.."
So I part ways with him
---
"……What are you doing?"
"Ara? Welcome back."
When I returned to the dormitory, there was an eerie group of people on the plains in the middle of the day.
Everyone wore work clothes and research aprons.
The group wears masks and glasses
In the center is a mysterious liquid that emits white smoke.
"Ask-san, you mustn't come in that form any longer."
In the center is Eugenia.
Steam is coming out of her face after taking off her glasses and mask.
"Phew, it's hot."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm making soap."
"Soap? Is soap really that easy to make?"
"If you don’t have to worry about quality and materials that much, you can make it easily, right? It’s dangerous though."
"Dangerous..."
"That's why we do it outside, away from the dormitory. We have the teachers watch it properly."
I don't really understand why, but everyone is stirring the pot.
"It's fun to make your own soap using your favorite fragrances."
I'm not that sensitive to smells.
Even when I lived in the imperial capital, I used commercially available products.
"Ask-san, is there any scent you like in this?"
"I'm not that particular about it... Yeah, but this might be my favorite scent."
There was a fragrant tree with a slightly sweet smell.
"As expected of a prince. You have great eyes."
"Is it a good thing?"
"It's a fragrant tree named sandalwood. I heard that it was the Empire that named it."
"Yeah, it smells good."
"Then I'll make you one."
"Is it okay?"
"It's expensive."
"Are you going to take money?"
"Other fragrant woods are good, but sandalwood is extremely expensive."
"How much?"
"3 gold coins at a special price!"
"It’s expensive."
"Then it can’t be helped."
I gave up.
Is it really possible to spend three gold coins in a place like this?
"Do you like the scent of sandalwood?"
When I gave up and tried to go back to the dormitory, Eugenia called out to me again.
"Yes, it seems like it would go well with perfume."
"That was a good reference."
That face looks like it's planning something.
Let's not get involved
