The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I’ll Manage My Store Carefreely.~

"That's why we're making safe white powder."

On the day I returned to the Atelier at Your Majesty's request, I was sighing at what was going on while having dinner with Marcus and Mina.

"Funny."

White powder has recently become popular in upstream society, and neither Marcus nor Mina knows what it is. As they were tilting their necks, they briefly explained, "It's a pigment to make their faces appear more white."

"... I wonder if it makes my skin whiter. It's hard for a noble woman."

Mina is impressed as she eats Pacli and today's main potato au gratin.

Yeah, it's unnecessary for the white and plump skin and the pink cheeks of Mina. Well, onee-sama told me this, but I don't think I need it yet.

"The point is, can you make white pigments that are familiar to your skin?"

Marcus, quite frankly, has been asking questions.

I see. Even if it's too white, it looks like a ghost, and it feels fairly transparent, but is it a good place to hide your skin?

I express my feelings based on the feelings of seeing my mother and sister's makeup.

"Speaking of which, can't potato powder be thought of too much by ordinary people? But since it's food, it's safe to put it in your mouth.

Mina looked down at the potato au gratin stabbed in the fork and murmured.

"Potato powder?

On the contrary, I lean my neck when I neglect to cook.

"Potatoes don't just peel off the skin and try to use them, they have fine white powder on the surface, so they are exposed to water and dropped. I was wondering if there would be more of this powder if I grated it."

I think about Mina's suggestion. Sure, if you can make cosmetics with something you've always eaten, you won't feel any more comfortable.

Let's make it a little bit.

After we finished eating, we decided to try to make "white powder" using potatoes.

◆

I have prepared three potatoes.

First, I'll peel it off.

Mina handles potatoes well. The grated potatoes accumulate more and more in the bowl.

"The ground potato fiber is in the way."

Yes, the grated potatoes intersected the fibrous part of the potato, the moisture, and indeed Mina's "white powder" sank at the bottom of the bowl. I only want this "white powder".

Shall I squeeze it with a thick cloth?

Mina said that and asked Marcus to bring the cloth and another bowl and place the cloth on top of the new bowl. Then all the contents of the original bowl were turned over on the cloth. Then he trapped the potatoes and tied his mouth tightly with hemp strings.

When I squeezed it, water and white powder came out through the cloth's eyes.

"But this is a little too little."

"Now, let's rub it while exposing it to water. You may still be mistaken for the potatoes in the cloth."

Mina added water to the bowl and rubbed and shaken it for a while, and the color of the water became white, so she found that "white powder" was still in the cloth. The work continued until the white tears subsided.

All that remains is red brown water and white powder accumulated there.

Throw away the accumulated water.

As a precaution, I added water again and threw away the clear water.

"White powder" containing water remained.

"Well then, let's let this dry naturally until tomorrow...."

"Let's heat up the water and fly!

I interrupt Mina's words. Then he took away the wet "white powder" that Mina had made and started heating the contents of the bowl in a frying pan. Because I wanted to see the finished product early.

"Look! It's starting to turn white!

I am satisfied with my idea.

"... that? There are parts that are transparent and never let water fly."

Marcus looks strange with a peek at his face.

"... I'll stop the fire."

Using the hera, try applying the "ex-white powder + water" that was lit on the fire. Then, there was something like a mixture of "plump" powder and jelly.

... you feel a sign of anger behind me.

"Dear Daisy!

Mina takes away the clumpy stuff that was sticking together. The hand is trembling with anger. Then, the "plump" connected through the hela from your hand also shakes plump.

"Yikugu, I tried my best to make powder!

Ahhhh! I made Mina cry! Moreover, the tail is swelling up so hard that it's impossible!

"I'm sorry, Mina! I'm sorry, so don't cry!

I take the handkerchief out of my pocket and wipe Mina's tears and runny nose.

"... won't you do anything extra until you tell me it's over?

Mina checks it out while she's standing still.

"I won't, I won't! I won't do it again!... so I wonder if you could make me another powder..."

I prayed to Mina with both hands.

"... I can't help it."

Gentle Mina started making 'white powder' again from the beginning.

Then, the "white powder" containing the resulting moisture spread over the bat and dried naturally overnight.

And this is what happened the next day.

Category: Food

Quality: Normal

Details: Powder that can thicken foods. You can also make a woman's skin look white, but the coverage is low.

Feelings: It's safe to apply to baby's sweat rash! You can lick it!

Mina put the powder on the belly of her finger and applied it on the back of her hand.

It certainly turns white.

... hmm, but something's different.

"... I wonder if the whiteness is not enough, or if it's too transparent."

Safe, the road was clear, but the road was still far off.
