Properly edited (kinda, what do you guys think?) : April 8th, 2019

She wasn’t delighted with the way their conversation ended just now, but she made sure to finish her greeting to Claude properly.

(1)Now that she could see the clear sky that was due to the happy King, Irene wanted to discuss work immediately. So, she turned towards everyone who all had a strange look on their face.

「Now, let’s talk about work」

「You’re quick to switch over to work as usual！And, what’s with the conversation just now?」

「Stop it, Isaac-Bocchan！」(2)

「Who are you calling Bocchan, pretentious Hero of Justice-ossan！」(3)

「It seems like phenomenons such as tornado and lightning strike will happen when the Demon King’s emotions are being disturbed」

Isaac silently grabbed both of Jasper’s shoulders. Luc muttered with a grim look on his face

「……Who do you think is better compared to Prince Cedric ？」

「……。It’s tough to compare」

「But, the Demon King-sama seems like an upright person. He’s such a beautiful creatureーI want to make a sculpture of him」

「That’s enough everyone, let’s focus on work. I don’t have time to waste for all of you」

When she declared that, while exchanging looks with each other, everyone reluctantly turned around to face Irene.

「Donny, I’d like you to renovate the castle according to Claude-sama’s wish. Beelzebub-sama, please interpret the words of the monsters for him」

「Can’t be helped. It’s the King’s command, come, child」

「I, even though I look like this, I’m 16 years old though……」

「Jasper will be investigating the embezzlement issue. Keith-sama too will cooperate with you」

「……understood. Looking forward to working with you, attendant-san」

「Yes,yes, best regards. Let’s exploit those people thoroughly, okay！」

Jasper showed a cramped smile at the sparkling Keith. But, Irene thought that it would be alright even if she left those two men alone to do their job; then, Irene began to talk about the most challenging issue.

「Isaac, Luc, Quartz; I’ll have all of you to help me launch my new business」

「New……is it? If it’s the prescriptions of the things that I’ve made such as the soap, I remembered them you know? How about making the same thing as that? If you wish for some improvements, I can make it just a little」

「……。There are still some materials left, too」

Isaac spoke before Irene could.

「We can’t. Although Prince Cedric is a jerk, he’s not stupid. During the evening party that’s gonna be held in two months, Irene is to sign the transfer document of the new medicine development business. The business monopolization should naturally be included in that document. By the way, with only a slight improvement and if it happens to have a fault, the possibility for the sales to be stopped or taken away is high. That’s why, if we want to do it, we need to do another business. We must develop something that can’t be called medicine. So, what are we going to make?」

Irene laughed while thinking that the discussion moved faster with him around.

「I have something I want to do. Cosmetics」

「Cosmetics？」

「Noble ladies spend their money like hot spring water for their good looks. That’s like regular medicine for those ladies. We’re going to take advantage of that fact. But, I want to avoid the situation in which I’ll be stripped of my noble reputation」

Doing business with nobles is prone to a political problem as the nobles tend to siphon off profits. It was an idea that Irene voluntarily withdrew in consideration of Cedric’s position so as not to make as many political opponents as possible for him.

But even then, her Brothers and even her Father told her it was an interesting idea at the beginning. So it should be promising.

「……It’s worth doing. I’m in. Luc, Quartz. What about you guys?」

With his arms crossed, Isaac shifted his attention to Luc and Quartz who were going to be in the center of the development.

「Even after that explanation, I still can’t get the point……I mean, I understand why medicine is out of the question, but」

「Let’s think about it like this, Luc. These things called cosmetics are the kind of medicine that can clean women’s skin」

The women in this world, just a little while ago, would apply beeswax to the face powder as though they were painting a picture.

But, applying makeup was different from painting. Cosmetics were products with chemicals that considered the condition of the skin. In Irene’s previous life, like her body, her delicate skin gave her quite a hard time; she eventually leaned towards a hand-made product. So, she remembered the basics.

And now, in this place, cosmetics were still paintings and wasn’t even in the field of science.

「Please cure skin diseases――or something close to it in a sense. We apply ointment to the roughened hands to prevent callouses, right? It’s something similar as that」

「……I see I think I understand. I’ll try to do it……What about you Quartz？」

「……。First, it’ll be made from water because it’s called a face lotion. The result should be similar to the smooth feel after washing our hands……like liquid cosmetic made from loofah extract and such?」

「Yes, that’s right！」

I have a feeling that I’ve heard about it.

（Something like deep ocean water or hyaluronic acid, but still I don’t know how we can obtain it, though！）

I want them to develop it sooner or later. But, it seems like it might take a considerable number of years.

「Basically, it should be rich and moisturizing. Water and essential oil――it’ll be good if we can mix in an aroma. Ah, maybe we can sell the perfumes as well? There isn’t something like aroma massage or something like that, right?」

「Aroma……？What is that?」

「I’ll explain about it again later. Please complete that by the time I have to attend the evening party. Since I’ll be using it with Claude-sama being next to me, there should be a synergy between us」

「Are you planning to become an advertising sign? That Demon King-sama is excessively beautiful, after all」

「That’s right! That’s why at least, please make it to the level that I won’t lose to him when I stand next to him」

Isaac drew back at Irene’s desperation.

「So that’s your purpose!?」

「That’s right, is there something wrong with that? I have the self-confidence to sell those products. Beauty is a matter of life and death for a lady, after all！」

「Irene-sama is beautiful enough」

「……The Demon King is, so to speak, is nonhuman. So it’s better if you don’t compete with him……」

「It doesn’t matter if he’s a Demon King or a human, but for men to have that kind of beautiful skin and hair, it’s just nothing but a disgrace for a woman like me?！Like what’s going on?……I can’t afford to lose as a woman……！」

「……。I see, certainly, we can make money with this」

When Isaac secretly murmured at everyone, they quietly nodded their heads.

Unexpectedly, Irene managed to convince them about the usefulness of the new business by expressing her mind.
