There was no reason why the store called Kakou's or White Scent was that big.

If you think Kakou is doing it alone, you might say it's big enough.

In such a store, various cosmetics are displayed in a narrow area.

"... okay, this"

I also display my products in a prestigious store because I am confident that I can manage, have a caution stick, or be fake even if they are stolen.

But as far as Ray can tell this way, the cosmetics arranged here don't look fake.

I was talking to Kenny outside without even leaving a voicemail in the store in that situation, so there was no point in Ray having that feeling.

"Haha. Well, because this store uses a lot of guild staff and adventurers. Quite a lot of people use perfume that comes with cakou, right? You think those people are gonna leave the person who did this to this store behind?

If you say so, Ray will have to convince you too.

Ray also knew how much money a woman would hang on her beauty.

Even when I was in Japan, I saw my mother buying several cosmetics.

Looking at Kenny taking off his coat or thick clothes, Ray asks what he wondered in his current explanation.

"But then you don't need me, do you?

If Alliance officials, female adventurers, a small but also male adventurers, are going to buy cosmetics, there will be no trouble with sales.

It was Kakou who was playing with Seto, not Kenny, who answered Ray's words like that.

"No way. I want everyone to enjoy the perfume more if I can. Besides, there are perfumes for adventurers."

"Perfume for adventurers?

That's what Ray came up with when he said it was perfume to mislead his body odor.

If you go out on a request such as a crusade request or a collection request, there are species of monsters and animals that have a sharp sense of smell even if they do not extend to wolves and dogs.

In such cases, the perfume is used to render it odorless… or to put on some other monster or animal body odor.

But I'll shake my head to the side right away.

That's because that's what I thought when I couldn't call it perfume anymore.

"Yep. I don't think a man cares much, but a woman cares about a lot of smells. Besides, there are insects in the woods, right?

"Oh, you know what?"

I remember asking Ray if he had seen perfume in anything as it originally developed to mislead the body odor of not taking a bath...

Most importantly, that is only the knowledge Ray gained in Japan.

Although it is not strange to be different in Elgin.

"Yep. However, as I said earlier, I want others to use perfume if they can. Is there any way?

He was a cow leaning his neck and asking, but Ray has little more to answer than little knowledge of that hand.

"Even if they say so. Like making a really stinky perfume as a means of attacking monsters and animals with a sharp sense of smell?

What Ray imagined was tear spray.

Of course I don't necessarily weep at the stench, but isn't that so bad if you still think of it as a means of attack?

That's what I thought...

"No. I want you to think of a more peaceful way to use it!

Kakou shouts that he didn't like Ray's words.

"Peaceful... no well, I guess I would use perfume peacefully if I were normal. I don't care how you ask me."

It was a ray to think about when I was in Japan, but it was impossible to ask Ray, who had never even used perfume properly in the first place, to figure out how to use perfume peacefully.

Maybe I should do something about Ray looking at Kakou still looking at me with crying eyes? Makes me feel that.

"Please do something about it."

Ray is troubled to be seen with moist eyes and even if they say so......

Is there anything in my experience when I was in Japan?

One idea passes at the next moment, behind Ray's brain, who thought so.

I can't think of anything because I thought of it as a perfume.

Perfume is the smell, which means if it has anything to do with you...

"Like deodorant?

"So, not the kind of guy that adventurers use, but more peaceful."

"No, it's not, it's the deodorant in the room."

"... of your room, deodorant?

I guess there was something about decorating flowers and enjoying their smell and appearance, but I guess there was no concept of using deodorants in the room.

Kakou turns his gaze to Ray such as being poked at the impression.

"Oh. There's all kinds of smells in the room. That's the sweaty smell of adventurers, the smell of cooking, and all sorts of other smells. Why don't you make a deodorant that will eliminate that smell... or overwrite it?

When Ray went to visit a friend's house in Japan, he once smelled like lavender when he walked into the room.

Ray wasn't too nervous about the smell, but the friend was pretty nervous about the smell in his room.

Reminds me of that, wouldn't a room deodorant sell it? That's what I thought.

"Fine... maybe?

I guess Kakou also thought Ray's opinion was never a bad one. He looked at Ray curiously.

To such a cakou, Ray opens his mouth again.

"However, you should make it as cheap as you can. Expensive as real perfume, you wouldn't think of buying it.... right, in about a few copper coins if you can"

"Uh!? Well, I don't care what you think for that price!

Perfume is cheap but a few silver coins… if expensive, that is even a substitute such as a few white gold coins.

How do you tell me to make such a perfume into a few copper coins?

Even Kakou, who has a natural personality, probably couldn't agree with Ray. He looks at Ray with a look like he's unhappy.

Kenny also thinks Kakou's opinion is the best, and he's gazing at Ray somewhere in the dark.

"Even so. In the end, perfume doesn't sell because it's expensive, right? So, even if it's a little cheaper, if you're interested in perfume from there, you'll end up making a profit?

I guess I never thought they'd disagree so much. I shrug like that with a little surprise.

That's about the price of deodorant for Ray when he was in Japan, right? It was the price I said from the place.

To introduce the perfume, I dare to sell it cheaply and interest the perfume itself.

Kakou worries about explaining such a ray.

"Hmmm... if you think about it - but -..."

"I think I'm good, too, don't you? Besides, Ray, the deodorant in the room you're talking about is just for starters, right? Then the quality of the perfume doesn't have to be that high."

"That's all. - What about perfume for deodorizing? The kind of thing that adventurers use is only available for a part of it.

"Yeah? Can't you just normally leave a bottle of perfume open?

Behind Ray's brain were fog-blown deodorants I saw on TV's CM, as well as deodorants that just needed to be set aside.

That was Ray's word I thought I should do the same, but Kakou shakes his neck sideways.

"No, that's too soon to lose perfume, and only the place where the perfume is placed will smell strong."

"... Really?

"Yep. If you're going to do what you say, Ray, you need to make sure you make specialized tools. And perfume, as Kenny says, needs to be formulated to be somewhat cheap."

"But if it works, can this store monopolize deodorants? I don't know how many stores deal with cosmetics in Gilm though.... Well, I don't think I can do that for that long because there's gonna be a guy out there who'll be imitating soon"

"Hmmm... I don't know what to do. Ray, if I could go along with your opinion, I think more people would use perfume..."

I'm almost certain I'll make a profit.

It seems that way, but still pretty much means it can fail... and Kakou didn't have the courage to make that kind of bet on his own.

"Then why don't you invite someone else? Wouldn't it be nice to gather a couple of people who deal in perfume just like Kakou and then give them money? What you need is an instrument that won't get rid of that perfume right away, right?

However, if he does, he won't be able to make profit alone, but Kenny wraps up the words.

I guess Kenny's words like that were appealing to Kakou as well.

I quickly started thinking about who to invite, and that guy, and things like that...

"Can we make less profit?

Ray asks Kenny how Kakou looks when he lightly chooses a safety precaution.

"Yeah. Kakou is the type of person who originally likes to do something with people.... Of course, I like to do something with you too, Ray?

It was Kenny pointing the stream at Ray, but Ray looked at Kakou without realizing it.

(You're a dog beast, so I figured you liked being in a lot of places?

Dogs like to behave with their peers, and cats are individualistic.

It was only an image of Ray, but I guess it's not like he's an animal man or that he doesn't tend to be.

"Hey, Mr. Ray. Are you listening to me?

"Hmm? Oh, sorry. So?"

"... ha. Well, fine. As for perfume, do you have any other good opinions?

"You don't get out that soon. About the deodorant in the room, because I finally figured it out.... Yeah, but insect repellent perfume might be useful."

Is it by the magic of Ray, or by the power of Ceto of Griffon?

I didn't know that, but bugs like mosquitoes never get close to Ray or Seto.

In that sense, insect repellent perfume didn't have to be, but I thought it would be useful to act with someone.

"Oh. Well, I'll give you this and this and this."

When I hear Ray's words, Kakou gives Ray three perfumes that have a light insect repellent effect.

"Do you mind if I take this? Perfume is basically expensive, isn't it?

"Yeah, yeah. But Ray taught me about perfume."

If there were all three perfumes, that would not be enough silver coins.

I was surprised Ray would give me something light that was worth it, but what came back to that was a relaxing word that looked like a kakoo

From that attitude, I wondered if I could really get the perfume I was given, and Ray's gaze turned to Kenny.

But Kenny, who was gazed at, nods without showing any particular hesitation.

"Don't you mind if I take it? In fact, thanks to you, Ray, Kakou is going to be able to try a new way of using perfume."

"Yep. Ray, I'm sure more people will use perfume because of you - and it's not a bad thing if you think about it as a price."

That's what Kakou tells me Kenny's words aren't wrong.

"Really?... It's not like I got another request, and I don't need a reward or anything. Well, if you want me to."

Deciding it would be rude on the other side to be told that much and say no, Ray stares at the perfume for insect repellent.

Probably because it's made for adventurers. Compared to other perfumes, it was boneless.

If it is a perfume like that used by the aristocrats, then that is what few things are like a single piece of art from the contents.

That is the magical material besides the glass and even the substitute made by the alchemist with gems inside.

But there was no need for adventurers to stick that much in the perfume they used.

You don't need to have such expensive things if you think they might break during battle.

… although some of them have such perfume bottles as highly redeemable objects instead of perfumes and gems.

This is not a rare story.

Because it is only natural that substitutes made by processing gems are more expensive than simple gems.

It was not uncommon to have something highly redeemable, not just a gemstone perfume bottle.

"Yeah. Now we can teach everyone the beauty of perfume."

Kakou laughs happily at Ray's receipt of the perfume he gave him so dearly.

For Kakou, business is also important… it is the first thing that many people know and use about the perfume they are passionate about.

It is also the unmistakable truth that expands the scope of business.

After this, due to the novelty of something called deodorant to be used in the room, it becomes quite popular in the guilds… the nobility of Wang Du learns of its existence, buys and fishes without threading on gold, and deodorant becomes one of the guilds' specialties.

Merchants other than Gilm naturally try to make the same thing about the deodorant, but because some of the ingredients have materials that can only be obtained at the periphery, they will give up.
