The plain and unnoticed me is no more
20 · Recovery effect of onigiri
The next morning, I remembered a word Chiyo told me and stopped holding a brush while I was making up my usual makeup.
"Ah...."
Yes, speaking of which, I... I was going to change my makeup, but I almost surrounded my eyes with a black liquid eyeliner as usual. I was going to make a hard impression, but if it didn't make sense, I wanted to try makeup that would make the most of this face.
Perhaps the sudden change will confuse everyone, so for today, use a black pencil eyeliner to blur the line, and stop using red and black lipstick and use a dim red.
A professional makeup artist or a fantastic makeup box with lots of cosmetics for every new Alford product. That said, it's not as diverse as the world of the previous life. There is only one type that can fit in this box.
"Yeah, it feels good. Just changing the color of your lipstick will change your impression. Yeah, it's better if it's not too clear around your eyes. Let's go today."
When she finished dressing and went to the kitchen to light the fire, Chiyo came out of the room with a big yawn.
Chiyo's room used the upstairs room that she had rented since the previous owner's time, but she looked at the books and was wasted making another room! He suddenly opened the door beside the counter and said he would use the place where the storage was located.
It was packed with moulded books and ancient equipment of uncertain age. It was a big job to dispose of the unserviceable items and transfer the rest to the underground warehouse, but the warehouse was wider than I thought, and the windows hidden on the shelves became usable, and the 5-tatami warehouse was turned into a Chiyo room.
The cafeteria was filled with carpenters and furniture craftsmen, and the moldy warehouse was transformed into the most beautiful room in the inn with their goodwill.
"Hah, comfortable. Good morning, Lana!
"Morning, Chiyo. Are you used to the new room?
"Yes! I can respond to customers' ringtones right away and it's great. That's right, yesterday's..."
Looking back at me as I lit the mold, Chiyo dazzled her eyes and rubbed both eyes, staring at my face.
"Chiyo? As I told you yesterday, I tried changing my makeup. How about that?
"Good, good! That's what I imagined! Woah, I want to show it to everyone quickly. I'm sure there will be more customers. Fufufufu"
I see, I thought it was a proposal that came out of a casual conversation yesterday, but that was the goal. Recently, it seems like Chiyo is obsessed with making money. I wonder if it's a goal.
"I'll cook the rice and prepare the equipment today. I had Lana do everything yesterday, but you want to find out what the difference is?
"Yes, I realized that the rest of yesterday's onigiri would be great if Shin and Taki ate it at lunch, but today I want Chiyo to make two for experiments. If the two of you ate it without telling me anything, and were told that it still worked, would it be okay for you to make it by yourself as usual?
Chiyo nodded many times with her eyes shining.
"This is going to be so much fun! Previously, I was told that it didn't work when I made it alone, but if it works this time, wouldn't it be nice if Lana was just around? You know, if you think about it, even the food Singh cooked, you're all healed without knowing it, right? When that happens, no one will realize Lana's power. Hmm."
While talking, Chiyo hands-on preparations for rice balls with Papa, and while waiting for the rice to cook, started writing a table summarizing the results of this experiment in Japanese characters. If it works, it looks like I can write a bump mark if I don't get a circle. Not only rice balls, but also water, voice, and so on were added to the table.
"Chiyo, what is this water?
"Is this it? Look, a long time ago, Lana, who was cleaning outside, gave water to a traveler who crossed the border without drinking or eating. He just drank a glass of water and looked better, didn't he?
If you ask me, it happened, but I'm not surprised it happened because I moistened Karakara's dry throat with cold well water.
He was thirsty to the limit.
"But it's worth checking out. Incidentally, this call is to find out if a word of support, like Kevin said yesterday, will work."
"Fufu, the idea that words have power is also in the country of Japan. I think it was a spirit, but good things happen when you say good words....."
"If you say bad words, bad things happen! Lana, you're thinking the same thing in this country. I felt so close."
No one in this country thinks that way. This is what I remember from my previous life, the knowledge I just learned online or something. I wasn't that interested, so I only had vague knowledge. I should have read it more carefully. At that time, I felt like I was thinking about whether it would work by saying a spell.
"Now, let's sell a lot today! Fufufu, I've got plenty of tuna, so I can buy Kevin."
Kevin stood at the beginning of the line, making and placing a large amount of tuna onigiri in advance and opening the door to let them know that it was open.
"Ah, Kevin. Good morning, sir. Please come in. It's tuna mayo, right? How many do you want?
"Ha... two tunas and three plums. Sorry about yesterday. Say plum dried is not food. That was a fine food. When I ate, I was so tired that my afternoon job was so awesome. And my parents asked me to do it today."
"Really? I wish I knew, if I knew. Lana! Three plums, please."
"Yes."
Kevin's voice was heard from the counter, and I greeted him with a plum onigiri.
"Morning, Kevin. You're early today. I'm glad you understand the beauty of plums."
Kevin, who saw my face, opened his eyes and thought that he had murmured something that was not verbal, and blushed to his ears. Other customers lined up behind me also had various reactions by opening their mouths with Pocahontas, having someone who became red like Kevin, and just changing their makeup a little.
And Chiyo looked at them, and smiled black.
"Good morning, good morning. Lana, something is different today. I don't know what to say..."
"It's crowded, so please talk to me again. Lana, please make a little extra plum."
Chiyo beat Kevin's words to the chase, giving priority to turning customers around efficiently. I don't think I've ever burned a yakimoto. Probably.
"Okay. Good luck with your work today, Kevin. Say hello to your parents. I'd be happy if you could come to dinner next time."
"Yes... I'll tell her. Wow, that was amazing today."
After Kevin's accounting, the next customer's order was followed by the person who ordered the plum. Apparently they heard what Kevin was talking about and decided to buy one for everyone to try.
I explained in advance that plum dried plum dried is a very spy product for people who buy it for the first time, but I was a little worried that it would not meet my expectations.
"That's good publicity. Plum is the cheapest and hassle-free. As long as it's pickled, it'll be easier after that, right? In order to reduce sourness, I gave you something soaked in honey today, so I'm sure you'll be fine."
It was good to see Kevin's reaction yesterday and make honey pickles. I tasted it with Chiyo, but it was much milder than it was. At this time, I had no idea that plum dried boom would arrive in this country as a food that would be effective in recovering from fatigue.
"Good morning, Lana, Chiyo."
Ouch.
Thin and Taki came in from the back today.
The two people who came to me and the counter where Chiyo was, wrapping an apron around their hips, looked at my face, Sin stopped with exactly the same reaction as Kevin, Taki brightened his eyes and came to me with a quick foot, and I showed a gentle smile.
"I like it. This is more natural and I think it's very cute."
"Thank you. This is the first time a man has told me it's cute outside my family."
Thanks to Taki, who conveys his feelings to me straight, I felt like I only knew a little bit about my joy as a girl.
My fiancé never told me that I was cute, and of course, there could not be anyone who could say such a thing to me who was not looked at by other noble men. Even Evan looked at me dazzling when I wore a cute dress or gave me a flower crown.
I didn't know that the word "cute" gave me so much confidence as a woman.
Even as I was illuminated, my smiling eyes somehow shed tears. I turned my face and wiped it in a hurry, but Taki and Chiyo saw it.
"Eh, Lana, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry, it's okay, it's embarrassing. Looks like she left happily on her own. Never mind, let's get to work."
He suddenly cried and surprised everyone. That's the only proof of forgiveness here. I wonder if I wanted someone to praise me. I don't know.
This day is unusual, and Sin, who usually works silently, wooshly comes to me and talks.
"Have you ever been told you're cute?
"Yes, that's right, far from the beauty of this country."
"... that's not true. You're cute. So be confident."
Singh punched me in the back and dyed my ears bright red to get back to work.
"Um... thank you."
Without looking at us, Singh raised one hand and kicked the chilled tack.
Good people. Since I met Chiyo, I feel like my life is on the right track. Well, when my engagement was abandoned, I had a bad feeling, but if I thought it was a necessary test to get this life, it wouldn't matter.
The results of the experiment showed that even those made by Chiyo had some healing effect.
The exact number is unknown, but even if I am tired enough, I feel like I will return to normal. Sin says. On the other hand, eating what I made completely restores my health and motivates me. That's what I mean.
Thin and I believed I made it and ate it, so I doubted the placebo effect, but even if I showed Kevin where Chiyo made it at a later date, the results were the same.
The table written by Chiyo was circled, and the ambiguous item of voice was also circled for some reason. Kevin said to Chiyo that his body would really get lighter.
Shall I try it with Sin and Taki? I think it's a matter of feeling for a boulder.
