Chapter 211 [Interlude]
Eileen-san, Granny and the others-led project to reform me has been completed!
"It's done!"
""Wow, you look cool!""
Eileen-san is beaming with pride as she pats my back.
Granny and the others are applauding.
"You look amazing! You're really cool, Leaf-chan!"
"Now my grandchild can hold their head high!"
The 3 of them are lavishing me with praise.
I... wonder what I look like now.
Let me take a look.
Whoa!
"What... this is... so cool!"
My usually sloppy hair is now styled in a wild, rugged look.
Even my outfit has changed. I used to wear a black pharmacist's shirt, pants, and sandals.
But now, I see a shiny leather shoe, a crisp white shirt that feels great on my skin, and matching pants.
A silver watch adorns my wrist. What... this is so stylish!
Thanks to her, I've become this cool.
I have to thank her properly!
"Eileen-san, thank you! I... I don't feel like myself anymore!"
"No need to thank me. You had good material to work with, so it's all good. Leaf-san, you're already cool, so you should dress up more often."
Dressing up... I never thought about it.
As an adventurer, I've been focusing on toughening up.
...But.
Mercury-san is stylish. She's a city girl who knows how to live.
To be on par with her, I need to dress properly.
From now on, I'll pay more attention to my appearance!
"Ah, Leaf-chan... you look so cool..."
"Ah, my grandchild is finally satisfied..."
Hehehe, Granny and the others are crying. So... it's that big of a deal?
"Now, all that's left is to use this, and it'll be perfect."
"What's this?"
Granny Merlin pulls out something from her pocket.
It's a bottle filled with a pink liquid.
"What's this?"
"It's an aphrodisiac~♡"
"WHAAAATTTTT!?!"
A-a-a-aphrodisiac!
"What's going on, Leaf-chan? Didn't Asclepius-sama teach you how to make it?"
"Oh, yeah! I learned how, but... it's not like that kind of..."
Huh, huh, huh... isn't that perverted?!
"It's a perfume with aphrodisiac properties. If you sprinkle it on, even my granddaughter will fall for you!"
"No, no, no...!"
I don't want to do something like using a drug's power to control Mercury-san's heart...
"Wait, Grandma. You're saying this is wrong, right?"
Old Man Arthur stops her.
"What are you talking about, Grandpa?! To get Leaf-chan, we can't help but use any means necessary!"
"Umm... but..."
Old man Arthur looks at me.
I guess he's leaving it up to me to decide.
I am...
I am.
I push Granny's aphrodisiac perfume away with a "guu".
"I'm happy about the thought, but... relying on a drug feels wrong."
I want to convey my true feelings to Mercury-san without relying on a drug's power.
I want her to know my genuine emotions.
"...Alright. Got it, Leaf-chan."
Granny smiles and puts the perfume bottle away.
"Sorry. You went to the trouble of making it."
"It's okay. Do your best."
"Yeah!"
