Volume 5 Chapter 11 Bonus Chapter
When the slime beauty serum was starting to take off, Randy was sneaking around, trying to avoid being seen, in a certain area of the royal capital. It's a place filled with huge buildings, but during the day, it's as quiet as if the fire had gone out.
Flower street.
Randy, a student, had no business being in a place like this──no connection to it at all. The reason he came here was the massive mansion right in front of him──the Velvet Rose, the most famous brōtḥel in the royal capital.
He wasn't really motivated, but thanks to his excellent bodyguard Harrison, he could leave Liz behind and come to a place like this. But Randy wasn't here to have fun in flower street.
He was here strictly for business.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the large door, and a warm, unique air enveloped him. Inside, he was greeted by a woman in a dress that revealed her chest.
"Excuse me. I'm Randolph──."
"I've heard about you from the owner."
The woman smiled seductively and gestured for Randy to follow her upstairs. Her back was also largely exposed, making it hard to know where to look, but it was clear from her walk that she had received quite a bit of training.
(As expected of the royal capital)
Feeling a strange sense of understanding, Randy was led by the woman to a room deep in the second floor.
Inside the door was a calm-looking woman. She had a gentle smile, but there was an air about her that reminded Randy of a seasoned CEO he had seen in his past life. She had built a big company all on her own, and you could tell she was a real go-getter.
"So, you have something you want to sell us?"
The woman tilted her head, and Randy replied, "Yes. First, this──" as he presented a high-end beauty product set aimed at the upper class.
"Oh, you know how to handle women, huh?"
The smiling woman set it aside and offered Randy a chair. He didn't plan to stay long, but it felt rude to refuse, so he sat down on the sofa and got straight to the point.
"What I want to offer Velvet Rose is this──."
Randy pulled out a bottle filled with liquid. At first glance, it looked just like any other beauty product, but the owner raised an eyebrow as she picked up the bottle.
"What is this...?"
"It's lotion."
"Lotion?"
As Randy explained how to use it, the owner, who had initially looked puzzled, started to smile, clearly intrigued.
"You're just a kid, but you know a lot about this stuff."
"It's a noble's taste, you know."
Randy shrugged, but he couldn't say that in his past life it was a pretty popular product. It eased the burden on women and provided a sense of immersion. Plus, it had beauty ingredients in it.
He had been sure that selling this slime beauty serum would be profitable in this direction.
"Will you tell me about its effects?"
The alluring smile belonged to the woman who had guided Randy this far. Her smile was tempting, but Randy kept a straight face and shook his head.
"I'll provide it as a sample, so if you're interested, just let me know."
With that, Randy thanked her and left the room.
As the owner watched Randy's back, she smiled at the guiding woman.
"As number one, how does it feel to be turned down?"
"Well, the other side has the princess of Braubelg, after all."
The owner shook the lotion bottle and smiled, saying, "Even so, he's an interesting kid."
After that, the lotion Randy brought in became a hit not just with women but also with men, and regular orders started coming in. Of course, all those orders were thrown over to Cedric, but Randy was regularly receiving some kind of patent fees under his name.
As a short-term money strategy, this bold move can be called a big success. But there was just one thing...
"Randy, is that the smell of women's perfume on you?"
"Huh? What? No, this is for business..."
"Hmm."
Having to spill everything to Liz, who was giving him a side-eye, is a whole different story.
"How do you know such things, you little brat?"
"I'm just like you, an old ear for gossip!"
He dodges Ellie's sharp comeback.
Author: I wrote this on the spot, so it's lacking in some areas...
Even in front of a woman who captivates everyone, he remains unshaken. That's how much Randy is invested in Liz and Ellie. I hope the bond between the 3 of them can resonate with all of you.
