Translator: Blushy
Editor: delishnoodles
On the day Cordelia was returning to the royal capital, Nirupama looked disappointed.
I dont mind if you co here anyti you want. Will you co back when your coming of age banquet is over?
Thank you very much. But first, Id like to use the things that Ive learnt here in the royal capital.
I see, thats a sha. But, the preparations of the shop seed to finally be going well If thats the case, then should I co visit with my husband for a while? Bruno also feels very sad that youre leaving.
Cordelia bowed deeply at Nirupama who said what she wanted even though she knew Cordelias reply.
Thank you for looking after for two years. Please give my regards to Bruno-ojisama too.
Okay, youve been great. But promise that youll co visit after everything has settled down, alright? Im looking forward to your coming of age too.
Then Cordelia said goodbye to her days in Weltoria and boarded the carriage to the royal capital with Lara.
???????
When the mansion ca into view, Cordelia inford the coachman that she would get off the carriage and slowly walked through the colourful flower garden in her ho. She thought it would be more surprising and nostalgic because she was away for a long ti, but all she felt was calm.
Im back.
Cordelia talked to the flowers from ti to ti as she walked and quickly reached the entrance. A lot of servants were waiting for her there.
Welco ho, Ojou-sama.
Welco back from your trip.
Cordelia smiled while receiving greetings from everyone.
Im back. Im glad everyone seems well.
Then, she asked Emina to distribute the gifts to the servants and went to her room by herself first.
She was sowhat happy that her room hadnt changed since she left, and her cheeks naturally loosened. She liked her room in Weltoria, but she could relax more in a room that she was familiar with.
Then, Ill take a nap to heal my fatigue from travelling What am I saying? I dont have the ti for that.
I cant take things slowly. I have to quickly make gifts for people who will be coming to celebrate my coming of age party.
Cordelia changed into her research clothes then headed to the laboratory. Then, she opened the door and saw that Ronnie was holding a wooden box and putting it away.
Ah, welco back. Ojou-sama.
Im back. You seem well.
It wasnt a moving reunion and Ronnie seed as carefree as before. The inside of the laboratory was also the sa and it felt as if she had only been gone for a day. However, there were more sweets on the table than before, and there were so which had co from Weltoria.
Lara must have already popped by since those sweets are on the table.
She did. She said, I have to make sure the greenhouse is alright before Ojou-sama cos! and left. She doesnt seem to trust my managent.
Its been a while, so she probably didnt know what to say to you.
Is it like that? Its been a long ti for you too, Ojou-sama, but you dont seem perplexed at all.
Ronnie shrugged and Cordelia smiled in amazent. Ronnies thick-headedness hasnt improved at all in these last two years.
Co to think about it, your coming of age ceremony will be celebrated as a dance ball?
Yes.
The young nobles in this kingdom often celebrated their coming of age ceremonies at dinner parties in the past. However, more nobles have been celebrating it in a showy manner recently, and she heard that a ball was also held for Vernouxs coming of age ceremony.
Im looking forward to it. Does the Master dance as well?
I guess so.
Ronnie seed amused, but Cordelia tilted her head since she couldnt imagine Elvis dancing.
(Ronnie is the sa and doesnt even hold back against his Master.)
But I heard that Cecily, the head magician, doesnt raise her eyebrows a lot anymore, Cordelia sighed lightly.
And, did you hear? The Madam wrote the invitations.
Huh? Okaa-sama did?
Yes. But she wont attend the evening party herself. I heard that the invitation was very courteous and befitting of a daughter of the Paradia House.
Thats nice.
I still havent been able to et with Okaa-sama, but at least shes worried about now. Cordelia smiled a little.
By the way, since you ca here as soon as you ca ho, what are you going to do?
I want to prepare gifts for the people who are coming to the evening party.
Eh, gifts? And since youre preparing them here, are you going to be making essential oils?
Cordelia smiled at Ronnies question.
I have to greet them at the evening party, dont I? If I glance at their magic wavelengths, then I can choose which essential oils will suit them. I can roughly guess their favourite fragrance from their magic wavelength.
Which ans, youll have to make a lot of different types so that youll have the scent you need.
Thats right.
Cordelia had already started mass-producing essential oils that were ready to be put up for sale.
For sweet and sour citrus aromas, she had orange, grapefruit, lemon, bergamot, lemon grass and lissa. Floral aromas include geranium, neroli (orange flower), roman camomile, German chamomile, and lavender. The refreshing aromas include peppermint, spearmint, rosemary, basil, clary sage and angelica.
Woody aromas include tea tree, eucalyptus, juniper, myrtle, and so on. These aromas will be transported from Ertiga on a case-by-case basis.
You have more variety now. How are you going to distribute them?
I plan to put the aroma stones and essential oils in these jewellery boxes, but I feel like it wont make much of an impact, so Im thinking of adding a small amount of balms and lotions in there as well.
Eh Doesnt this jewellery box have a cao of a rose relief on the lid? Ojou-sama, are you serious?
Ronnie looked impressed as he stared at the gorgeous jewellery box.
First impressions are important, arent they?
Well, you can probably think of it as advertising expenses.
Thats right. I cant read a persons magic unless I see them in person, so its going to be a little tough on the day, but I plan on asking Emina to help .
So, youre preparing the essential oils now? Youre also going to make different balms, arent you?
Ronnie said and Cordelia laughed.
Ill do that tomorrow. Apart from that, theres sothing I want to try. Can you get so jasmine flowers? Get all the ones I have.
Jasmine? By any chance, have you finally found a solvent that can be used for roses? The hard work of repeatedly experinting has finally paid off.
To extract jasmine oil, I use the sa solvent thod that is used to extract rose absolute oil.
The solvent extraction process uses organic solvent such as hexane to extract essential oils and is used for plants which have a poor extraction rate with the steam distillation thod or when the components in the plant are altered by heat.
No, I still havent gotten to that point yet.
Cordelia has also tried magic dicine to replace hexane, but she still hasnt found the best solvent yet. However, even without that dicine, she had obtained a magic dicine that was similar to pure ethanol, so she could also use the enfleurage thod.
Then, how?
I had another refining process. So, I wanted to try it with jasmine first.
She hasnt co up with this thod because she had mories of her previous life, but she has strong magic that specialises in plants which she hadnt had in her previous world.
And, it was possible for her to directly obtain the essential oil from the plant if she grasps her magic analysis training.
(With the solvent extraction thod, a little bit of the solvent remains in the essential oil. But if this goes well, then I can gain pure essential oils.)
However, the essential oil content in roses and jasmine is extrely small. Im worried about whether I can really extract essential oil from them with magic when the oils cant even be seen with the eye.
But since I havent found a magic dicine to use, it would be better to bet on this thod rather than use the enfleurage thod.
But, Ojou-sama. There are more roses than jasmine in stock right now
Huh?
You always use jasmine when you try out whatever dicine you get your hands on, so theres only a little bit of stock left. So, isnt it better to use roses for your experint? If needed, I can prepare a variety of roses other than Ojou-samas rose.
The rose that Ronnie had referred to as Ojou-samas roseis theCordeliathat she had received from Gille.
She had collected other fragrant roses in addition to Cordelia, but she liked Cordeliathe most. Her favourite scent after the roses have been extracted into rose absolutes wont necessarily be Cordelia, but she thought that it would be her favourite anyway.
(But if theres a lot, then Ill like to try this thod with roses.)
The flowers were perfectly preserved thanks to magic tools.
What do you want to do? Im fine either way.
Alright. Prepare them for . Bring a bag of roses back with you.
Ronnie casually went down to the underground warehouse. He didnt care about Cordelias montous decision at all.
Cordelia relaxed a little from his attitude.
(I cant help but be nervous since I feel more stronger towards it than the other varieties.)
The roses in the vase were probably put there by Emina before Cordelia returned. She pulled a flower out from the case, concentrated magic into her eyes and searched for information on the rose.
The magic circuit that continued into the veins of the leaf, and a little she confird the presence of a little bit of essential oil.
(I will need fifty roses to get one drop of essential oil from them. So, its invisible to the eye.)
Still, Cordelia understood.
Thanks to the magic given to by the Paradia House, I can see the magic in the roses and the essential oils that it holds.
Ojou-sama, I have them.
Thanks. Put it here.
When Ronnie ca back from the warehouse, he transferred the roses from the big bag he brought into the glass containers. Cordelia closed her eyes and took a deep breath in front of the roses. Then, she put both hands on top of the flowers and concentrated magic into them.
(Co on, essential oils. Gather in one place!!)
She slowly opened her eyes which were the sa colour as the roses and spoke to them. The speed at which the essential oils were moving through the petals was slower than she thought.
(Rather than slow, its heavy!)
I dont know if thats the right word to use, but I wanted to pull the essential oils with my magic, however my magic is being pulled into the essential oils instead. I only concentrated enough to search the roses, but it was stealing my physical strength and magic.
But I wont give up.
The essential oils are invisible, but my magic and the essential oils are connected and theyre moving. This is an endurance test.
