Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～ (WN)

Seven days after I ran into Sylvester and Sherry at the night club.

Cordelia had invited Clifton to the store after closing.

I don't know, I'm sorry.

"Never mind. I have plenty of time."

There is no reason for Cordelia to blame the other employees because they are off tomorrow. Rather, Cordelia also wonders what kind of choice a man makes of gift choices. I'd like to know how you react when you see the little things that you wouldn't normally be used to, and how you can devise a display that would be easier for men to see - those points.

"Take your time. There are a lot of accessories and groceries."

"Well, sweeten to your words"

Such Clifton began to look at every single shelf.

"What about this flat can?

"That's a hand cream to prevent rough hands. We also have some trial products."

Clifton, who took the right amount from the vessel Cordelia offered him, was looking strange as he stretched it out.

"You smell this, too."

"Because it is the sale of this store. Some of them keep the smell down, but they still choose these things if you come here."

"What about this one?

"That's claw red. It doesn't have any particular aroma, but it's a little unusual in this country. Please wait a moment."

With that said, Cordelia applied the product to her nails.

"Thus, I decorate my nails. This is coral, but is it clear? It's preferred by people dressed in clear colors."

"I feel like I know somehow. Wouldn't Uncle Weltria like that, too?

"Yeah, you're right."

But that gaze was quickly shifting to the next item, so Clifton thinkers apparently prefer something less flashy.

In addition, cosmetics, cameos and other ornaments, then cosmetic boxes and jewellery boxes pass by in a way that is half bare with less interest.

And Clifton's feet finally stopped in the interior corner.

"What about these flowers? It's a beautiful vase... but you keep the bulbs directly?

"Yeah, this is a sample, but it's a flower that grows easily just by keeping the bulbs soaked in water. You can safely watch them grow every day. The translucent little round balls below are fertilizers."

"Oh, that's beautiful."

"This flower is a major flower in Weltrian territory. I don't choose the season in the Wang capital, so I don't care when I start growing it, and there are lots of colors."

Flowers very similar to hyacinth, but unlike hyacinth, it's okay if the bulbs are soaked in whole water. Yet Cordelia secretly thinks that the gutsy flowers bloom straight even if they are placed slightly diagonally on her aunt somewhere.

It's fun as a cordelia to grow as delicate as hyacinth to see how it grows, but first of all, there's nothing more perfect for women who've never grown flowers or anything else that interests them.

Clifton troubled himself for a while, but once away from that shelf. Thank you. I seem to be a candidate, but it didn't seem to be a decision. Cordelia followed Clifton as he was, guiding him through the store again. And when I continued to explain one thing and two things, Clifton looked at one product and tilted his neck wonderfully.

"What interior is this?

"That's a water clock."

"Water clock? For an hourglass companion, all the contents look liquid... don't you need air?

The glass container with the liquid that Clifton is looking at has a divider at the top quarter and the bottom quarter. The lower quarter space contains dark blue liquid, but the rest looks very ordinary water. And Clifton seemed to have no idea what this colored and clear water meant because it was partitioned in the first place.

"Once, turn it upside down"

"Like this?"

And when Clifton flipped the water clock, the blue liquid that was in the compartment began to slide through the clear water like a puff and a drop from a slight gap. And as they fall to the partition, they slip through its surface and fall again from the gap into the partition, gathering together.

"This is the water......?

It's an oil clock, to be exact.

"But it's like water. Wow. And all the different colors that are over there?

"Yes, some of them have developed a little taste, so the prices are variable, but it's quite a popular product, so it's a little thin"

Did Clifton like the water clock better than the flowers earlier, or he seemed to stare and inquisite when he flipped the water clock there.

"I was gonna be collecting quite a few things about water, but you've never seen this before"

"If you like, I'd be happy to spread the word even if it's not a gift"

"... Could this, Mr. Cordelia?

smile and Clifton shrugged his shoulder when he replied just smiling.

"That's just great. I want you to share a little business talent."

"Stop flattering me because I'm going to be in good shape"

"I wish I could have flattered you, but I don't know if I can lose the business."

"Oh, I'd love to ask you for your area of cooperation."

"... yes, it's amazing how I can say that I'm used to the place already. But I get it. I'm begging you."

And Cordelia and Clifton laughed small at each other.

"Well, what do you do? From what I've seen, I thought the candidate might be thinking about this oil watch."

"Right. Because she really likes the sea and things about water. Honestly, I'm not sure about cosmetics."

"Sea or water......?

To the words, Cordelia frowned a little.

It's true that the water clock here is also a reminder of water, which could be a good one. But I felt that if it was Clifton, I could have something more surprising. And that's also what Cordelia wanted anew as a commodity.

"Mr. Cordelia?

"Master Clifton. Isn't Stormglass better, then?

"Huh?"

Stormglass is supposed to be an instrument for predicting the weather hours later, for example by the amount of crystals that appear in the liquid in a sealed glass container. It was made in previous life using camphor and other chemicals, but in this world it is made as a kind of magic tool.

"It may be something familiar to Clifton and Miles involved in the ocean, but it's rare for those unfamiliar with the ship, and I think it's very strange and fun to see crystals disappear or come into being depending on the day."

"Oh well...? But the shape is a bit... it's not a gift if it's ship equipment."

"Yep. So, if you want to give it to me, I think I should just split it it up for ornamental use and lock only its contents in a cute glass container"

"Huh?"

"We don't need that much accuracy. Because I'm not sailing. How about spheres, cones, for example?

To the suggestion, Clifton roared.

"Hey, I guess I never thought about it. But you might want to give it a try. Can you take a look at the prototype when it's ready?

"Yeah, happy. Just one favor."

"Something."

"If it does well and becomes commercialized, don't hesitate to sell it here."

Clifton opened his eyes to the words of the cordelia and then laughed.

"If Mr. Cordelia is already thinking that far, I guess it's safe. Nice talking to you, thanks."

"No, welcome."

And Cordelia smiled off Clifton, who bought hand cream as a souvenir for her mother and then left the store behind. And I sincerely hoped that the gift would also be well finished so that Clifton could do well with the woman who gives me thoughts.

"Well, shall I clean up and go home, too?"

Tomorrow is my day off.

I'm not sticking with Clifton, who will probably be working on designing gifts for thinkers from now on, but Cordelia also had a small temper to make something I could give as a thank you to everyone who works in the store.
