Volume 3 Chapter 6 Souvenir Quest： Part I
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Lately, I’ve been hunting nearly ten quail every day.
The new members all really love meat, and of course, so do I and Mr. Zenom.
The seasonal brown quail is so delicious that it doesn’t even need to be smoked or turned into ham.
Just sprinkling fresh meat with salt and grilling it is enough to make it top-notch.
It might be even tastier if aged, but I find myself eating any leftover quail that’s just hanging under the eaves before I know it.
I guess I need to hunt even more quail to keep up.
Even just in the searching range of the Radar Scan, there are hundreds of quail around.
Our little increase in hunting isn’t going to make a dent in their numbers.
But the passenger pigeons that once filled the skies got wiped out by Americans because they were so tasty.
We should be careful not to let that happen here.
Everyone is getting a lot of exercise, so while they don’t gain extra fat, they’re building some pretty impressive physiques.
Ms. Claire’s chest growth is especially noticeable, and she keeps begging for permission to have her breasts removed since they interfere with her archery.
Of course, I won’t grant that permission──I’m a merciless master after all… I’d better hurry up with the bra development plan.
* * *
Now, with expectations from the village ladies in mind, I decided to prioritize securing meat for the sharing mission.
This time, I’ll be sharing raw meat, since I want them to enjoy the delicious taste of fresh quail as it is.
I’ll wrap it up in fig leaves to distribute.
First, I should visit the tailor.
I’m a bit scared to put Ms. Lyra off, and I also want to discuss the bra situation with her husband, Mr. Simonov.
Slaves are absolutely obedient to their masters, so Ms. Claire won’t cut off her breasts without my permission, but as her master, I want to help solve her worries.
After all, she’s my first slave, and I’m a bit unsure of how to handle things, but I really want to be a good master.
Raia-Raia has grown quite a bit since I last saw her.
My 5-year-old fiancée, always acting so grown-up, but of course, I don’t see her that way.
Still, I’ll pass on the bottle of perfume oil from the royal capital to Raia-Raia too.
I swear, I don’t have any ulterior motives.
In ten years, she probably won’t even remember.
”Sir Hero, thank you so much! Yay, it smells so good!”
”I feel bad making you go to all this trouble for my daughter, especially with something as fancy as perfume. It’s like she’s a noble lady.”
I was thinking about souvenirs for the women in the village when Miss Floria suggested perfume.
I checked out a few shops, but it was too expensive to buy.
I mean, I wanted at least 40 bottles.
I can’t exactly shell out 40 gold coins for souvenirs.
Of course, there were cheaper options available for copper coins, but I passed on those because the quality was crap.
What I want is something cheap but good.
If you look hard enough, you can find stuff like that.
While visiting the Alchemist Guild, I found some high-quality lavender oil for sale, so I bought it instead of the crappy stuff.
And I joined the guild while I was at it.
I don’t like the idea of paying an annual fee of ten thousand gold, but getting free transaction fees is a sweet deal.
If I use more than a hundred thousand gold a year, it’s worth it.
Who knew my alchemy skill would come in handy?
It sure paid off in an unexpected way.
Stargazer is a treasure trove of skills, even ones I’ve never used before.
Alchemy skill sounds cool, but mostly it’s just heating and mixing stuff.
I figure any cooking or crafting skills could almost do the job.
Actually, the reason my alchemy skill rank is pretty high is probably because I make stuff without even realizing it.
In the end, I decided to make the souvenirs for the village ladies myself.
I bought a bunch of essential oils, mixing equipment, and dozens of high-quality glass vials.
The materials cost me a total of 30 thousand gold.
If I just made lavender oil, it would’ve cost less than 5 thousand, but I ended up buying a bunch of stuff.
I mean, I wanted to try making original scents while I was at it.
In the end, I didn’t even use a tenth of the materials I bought, but maybe the leftovers will come in handy someday… maybe.
Mix some good olive oil with lavender oil, pour it into a small glass bottle, and you’ve got homemade perfume oil.
I didn’t make it perfume because the village women have bad skin, so I thought they could use it as a hand cream instead.
Lavender should have skincare benefits if it’s the same as what’s found on Earth.
I gave some to Miss Floria and Ms. Hóa, and they were happy, so I’m confident about the quality.
While the mother and daughter were happily applying the perfume oil, completely ignoring the quail meat, Mr. Simonov showed me the prototype of a bra he had made.
To be honest, I’m not that knowledgeable about women’s underwear.
I just explained that bras are for supporting women’s breasts in a beautiful shape and preventing them from sagging.
Mr. Simonov’s prototype was impressive given my explanation alone, but it looked a bit clunky and definitely not comfortable.
It seems like there are limits to just using fabric.
To hold a beautiful 3-dimensional shape, I think something wire-like is necessary.
”What are you two sneaking around for?”
Startled by Ms. Lyra’s sudden entrance, Mr. Simonov quickly tried to hide the prototype bra, but… let’s explain the situation and get Ms. Lyra to help us out.
She’s the perfect candidate with her huge bust.
”Oh, so it’s underwear from another world that keeps your boobs from sagging?”
”I’d love for Ms. Lyra to try it on and give me her thoughts on how comfortable it is.”
Ms. Lyra, full of interest, is trying to put the bra on over her clothes.
Her massive chest is still impressive──doesn’t her shoulder hurt?
It’s like she’s walking around with 2 watermelons hanging from her.
”Hmm, this might make my chest feel better, huh?”
”Is it really tough when they’re heavy?”
”Of course, it’s a pain…”
Ms. Lyra started complaining about her big boobs, so I dumped that on Mr. Simonov and took my leave.
I thought I could pick up some useful ideas from listening to them.
And if their marriage gets even better, it’ll be worth it to give a secret present.
I got Mr. Simonov a popular stamina supplement from the capital, and when I handed it over secretly, he was super happy.
He mentioned he was struggling to satisfy his wife, after all.
Apparently, it’s an extract from bivalves found in the canal.
It might not have magical effects, but for stuff like this, the placebo effect matters.
Believing it’s an amazing potion from the capital should add some extra punch from suggestion.
Raia-Raia immediately went off to brag about the perfume to her friends.
This could be bad… I can already see a future where all the little girls in the village are begging for it.
Well, I still have more than 20 little bottles left, so it’s fine.
I’ve got a ton of lavender oil that I still haven’t used up.
It’s not that I skimped on mixing; if it’s too strong, the smell gets way too gaudy.
Too much of anything is never good, after all.
