Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～

Act 66 Return to the King's Capital

When he withheld the adult the following month, Cordelia, who said goodbye to her days in Weltoria, was on her way to her home in a carriage with Lara.

It's supposed to take the same number of days as far as time goes, but for Cordelia, I was feeling that getting back on the road was more of a short distance away than going outward.

And the moment he saw the garden of his home coloured with brightly colored flowers, Cordelia offered to walk.

Receive an umbrella from Lara inside the gate and walk slowly through the garden for the first time in a long time. I've been away for a long time, so I thought more surprises and nostalgia would creep up, but what Cordelia felt was' calm '.

"I'm home."

If you go ahead and talk to the flowers like that from time to time, you'll arrive at the entrance in no time.

Upon arrival, many servants were waiting to greet them.

"Welcome home, lady."

"Good luck with your long journey"

Yes, I get a verbal greeting and Cordelia smiles back, too.

"I'm back now. They all seem the same, above all else."

Then I gave Emina a sweet souvenir for the servants and asked her to distribute it, and then I went back to my room by myself.

My room was no different than it was before I left, and my cheeks still loosened.

Even Weltoria let me like her own decor, but the rooms I'm used to are still very calm.

"... then a nap to relieve the fatigue of your journey... I don't know if you have time to say"

Say no, Cordelia quickly changed her clothes and headed to the lab.

The first thing to do as soon as possible… is to make souvenirs for the people who came to the nightclub to celebrate their own adulthood.

"It's a month away, and let's get you in the mood"

When I was so determined and then opened the door, there Ronnie was carrying a crate to clean up.

"Ah, welcome home. Lady."

"I'm home. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Above all."

It's not that we're emotionally reunited with each other...... Ronnie looked as relaxed as before. It's no different in the lab, and I get so familiar with it as if I hadn't been here in a day to illuminate it. But it wasn't on the table before I went, and there's a box on Weltoria that I saw a lot, I know.

"... the fact that there's that souvenir here, Lara's already here."

"Yes. 'I'll check for deficiencies in the greenhouse by the time the lady gets here!' And I said, 'I left right away. My management, apparently, is not trustworthy."

"It's been a long time, so I don't know what to tell you."

"Is that true? The lady herself doesn't seem to be lost in a long time."

Neither does Ronnie shrugging his shoulders seem to think it's been a long time since he's resumed.

But there's probably no mistake, Cordelia said, returning a bitter laugh.

"Speaking of which, it's a lady's bar mitzvah, prom style."

"Yes."

It seems that in this country it used to be often dinner if it was an adult celebration, but these days they also held more balls and celebrated them glamorously, and I hear that even the Marquis Frantheim family chose the format of the balls when they celebrated the adults of Vernault.

"Looking forward to it, right? My husband might dance."

"... yes,"

But even if it's a ball, does Elvis dance at all?

Cordelia is also intrigued by the question, but she coughed first and the scene was deceived.

I do care a lot, but I'm also sorry to pay too much attention because I wouldn't be good at it.

(But really, Ronnie's still not reluctant with her husband)

Cordelia breathed lightly that this didn't seem like the number of times the magic master raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, speaking of which. Your wife wrote the invitation."

"Huh?"

"They won't be attending the meeting. I hear it was a very polite invitation worthy of the celebration of the Lady of the Pameladia family."

Cordelia was surprised by Ronnie's words like that.

"Your mother?

"Yes."

"… that's a pleasure."

It hasn't been possible to face each other yet, but it seems to be enough for you to be concerned. Cordelia loosened her mouth a little.

"By the way, it looks like you're coming home. What's the lady going to do here?

"I was going to prepare a souvenir for those of you who come to the night club."

"Oh, is it a souvenir? Of course for that, do you intend to use essential oils?

Cordelia grinned at Ronnie's inquiry.

"Let me greet you, won't I? Let me take a look at the attributes of magic at that time, and I think I can choose the one that suits that person. Approximately, scent preferences can also be seen from the wavelength of magic."

"That means we'll have plenty to give you no matter which scent you need,"

"That sort of thing"

As for essential oils, they are mass-produced together with commissioning of the workshop with the aim of putting them on the sales channel.

Citrus is orange with grapefruit, lemon and bergamot with lemongrass, then Melissa.

The floral system has nelori (orange flower) on zelanium, roman chamomile and lavender on german chamomile.

The herbal system is peppermint, spearmint, rosemary and basil with clarisage and angelica.

The Woody system carries them from Eldiga on a case-by-case basis, including Teatley, Eucalyptus and Myrtle on Juniper......

"Types, more, right? How are you going to handle this?

"I'm going to give you aromatic stones and essential oils in this jewelry box, but I think that's the only thing that makes it less impactful, so I'm going to add a small amount of perfume and lotion as well"

"Heh... Isn't this jewelry box with cameos on it? Lady, you're serious."

Ronnie had the look on her face that she was impressed when she saw a jewelry box with a cameo carved with rose relief attached to the lid.

"'Cause first impressions are important, right?

"Well, big behavior is also advertising expenses, right?"

"That sort of thing. I can't read magic unless I see you in person, which makes the day a little rough, but I'm asking Emina to help me."

"So now it's a blend of essential oils? You make some kinds of fragrance oil, too, right?

Cordelia laughed at Ronnie for saying so.

"That's for tomorrow. More than that... one thing I'd like to try. Could you get me some Jasmine flowers? Give me what I'm accumulating."

"Jasmine?... So you finally found a convenient solvent that can also be used for roses?

To extract the essential oils of Jasmine, the solvent extraction method is used in the same way as the rose absolute.

The solvent extraction method is a method of extracting essential oils using organic solvents such as hexanes, which is used in plants where the extraction efficiency is too poor in the water vapor distillation method, or where the essential oil component is transformed by heat.

"No, it hasn't."

While Cordelia also interacted with Ronnie, I tried some magic drugs that would turn into hexanes, but I haven't gotten the best solvent yet.

However, although there are no such medicines, magic drugs close to pure ethanol have been obtained, so there is also the option of using grease adsorption as another method.

"But in the first place, I had another method of purification."

I never thought of it before because I rely on memories from my previous life, but there is a strong magic in Cordelia today that specializes in plants that were not in my previous life. And if you have the analytical abilities you have gained in analytical magic… there is also a good chance that you will get essential oils immediately.

(When solvent extraction occurs, solvent remains in the essential oil, albeit in trace amounts. But if this works...... there's a good chance you'll get something pure)

However, the essential oil content of roses and jasmine is very low.

There is also some anxiety as to whether it is really possible to extract a quantity of things that cannot be visualized, such as magic alone. But now that I can't find the drug, I won't have a hand in not trying this method to get more essential oils for sure than the laborious grease adsorption method.

"But, ma'am. Given my current inventory, I have more roses than Jasmine..."

"Huh?"

"It would have always been Jasmine for a lady to try drugs, wouldn't it? So wouldn't it be better for a lady's rose? Or would you like to use a variety other than the lady's rose? That's pretty good, too."

……

A rose of a lady named Ronnie is a rose of 'Cordelia' received from Jill.

It collects several other highly scented varieties, but Cordelia's favorite is the 'Cordelia' rose.

Of course, "Cordelia" is not always the best when it comes to essential oils, but I think it will probably be my favorite scent.

(... you do have the hand that it's time to use the rose once)

Thanks to magic tools, the flowers are in good condition.

If the amount of jasmine left is low, the rest of the jasmine also wants to be used after being sure of success.

"What do you want to do? I don't care either way."

"... well, can I ask for a rose? Cordelia, please."

"Well, I'll have it ready in a minute! I'll bring you a bag."

Behind Cordelia's overwhelming determination, Ronnie went underground looking really light.

Cordelia's shoulder strength fell out just a little bit to the way it looked.

(... but you can't help but be so nervous because I'm more than thoughtful)

The roses decorated in the vase will be those that Emina decorated before Cordelia came back. Cordelia pulled only one bottle out of it, and she focused on her eyes to explore the rose's information.

A magical circuit that joins the leaf veins, and the presence of only a few essential oils.

(In order to get the essential oil of the rose, finally a drop with fifty roses. So I can't believe it's visible, it's definitely not)

Still, Cordelia understands.

The fact that, thanks to its magic, given by Pameladia's house, it is very likely to be able to do so.

"Ma'am, we're ready."

"Thank you. Here, please"

Until the glass container was full, Cordelia closed her eyes and took a deep, deep breath, laying her hands on the flower, and magic before the rose flower, which had been transferred from the large bag.

Then loosen up, open your eyes the same color as the rose.

(Come on, essential oils. In one place, gather around...!!)

Cordelia spoke to the flowers.

The speed at which essential oils move through the petals is slower than you think.

(I mean it's late or it's so heavy......!

I don't know if I'm right as an expression, but I'm going to be pulling essential oils with magic anyway, but magic is pulling on essential oils. You concentrate your spirit only on exploring a few things, yet you are deprived of so much strength and magic.

But that's not why I'm going to lose.

It's invisible, but I really feel that essential oils and my magic are connected.

The sensation also led to the slight movement of essential oils.

And after a long time, collecting essential oils from the flower petals, just a drop of Shizuku finally appeared.

That's enough to disappear once you let it slide, but it's the crystal of the memorial.

Cordelia spilled a laugh.

"He said he would forcefully collect essential oils... Lady, what kind of backgammon are you developing?"

"... Sure, I don't need any tools or anything, but it's definitely not for mass production."

Instead of mass production, you're going to need a hell of a lot of help just to align the amount you use.

Ronnie, who saw Cordelia's tricks soaking up her forehead sweat, shrugged her shoulders, too.

"Well, that's right. It's certainly not going to be about efficiency."

"Yep. So find a convenient drug fast...... no more, let's make it than look"

"Right.... Still, I think it's amazing. You originally have magic that goes well with grasshoppers, but it requires a lot of control... and seriously, that's the result of your daughter's efforts to train magic. I can never imitate a move like this."

"Thanks. But don't praise me too much. I don't know what to look like."

"Well, that's right. Then I'll have some glass I can store for now. It's still a prototype, but some have been improved, so please use it."

"Thanks. That'll help."

"No. Sometimes I didn't get a lot of work from the Sorcerer's Tower when it came to my daughter going to Uncle Weltoria's. It's a give-and-take."

……

Is that a good thing to say give-and-take to fulfill?

While I'm kind of saying it because I'm talking about Ronnie, I guess I'm doing the things that I was able to say on account of Cordelia's absence... but as always, I seem to remain an honest personality who doesn't hide what I'm trying to say.

And he went underground, without worrying.

"Worldwide, you can be a little better."

I appreciate it, but it's still a shame.

I think so, but Ronnie is still Ronnie, so it will be hard to change.

(Aside from Ronnie for now... given my magic consumption and recovery and the amount of essential oil I get, the prep period is critical)

But anyway, this gave me the essential oil of the rose I wanted.

Cordelia glanced at the essential oil she had just refined as she was willing to try again after a short break, as she generally understood what was going on with the earlier challenge.

"... I don't know if this scent will arrive."

That being said, Cordelia took a piece of paper out of the cupboard.

And on the edge of the blank paper, I pressed the essential oil.

"By the time it arrives, I hope it's just about as intense as it smells... hey, maybe it was too intense"

But you should deliver the scent quickly to Jill for the convenience of the rose.

I'm back in Wang Du. I also got essential oils. I'll get back to you, too.

Yes, Cordelia ran the pen.

(Even Jill... I wish you could think of a scent that suits me)

The scent of roses obtained by the water vapor distillation method… Can you be surprised at the scent unlike Rose Otto's?

With that in mind, Cordelia left it in an envelope with blank paper so the scent wouldn't fly away. Sealing is after writing a letter at night.

Besides, some people have to tell him before he can report his return.

"Oh, speaking of which, ma'am. My husband will be back by sundown today."
