The two main points I wanted to check were the nail polish’s color and texture. To do so, I painted Mireille and Lunoa’s nails. I tried to do the same with Misha until her hair suddenly stood on end while her ears flopped.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“I-I’m sorry... It’s just...th-the smell... It’s too much...”

The smell was pleasant and rather subtle, but Misha’s nose was even more sensitive. Apparently, the odor was hard to bear.

“I don’t have a problem with others using scented cosmetics or perfume. It’s just that I can’t use them myself...” she explained.

“This seems to be a little tough on beastkin noses,” I noted.

“I-I’m really sorry,” Misha apologized again.

I closed the little nail polish bottle, then gently tapped the top of Misha’s head.

“Don’t apologize. I’m thankful you pointed this out.”

“Huh?”

“You helped us discover we had not adapted this product to beastkin. That’s very helpful, Misha. Never hesitate to be honest when asked to review a product.”

“O-Okay!”

“Come to think of it, I believe we have very few beastkin customers,” pointed out Lunoa.

She was talking about the clientele of our shop, which targeted wealthy commoners.

I put my hand on my chin and contemplated this statement before asking, “Mireille, can you show me our transaction history for the last few months?”

“Please wait a moment,” said Mireille. She dug through the pile of documents she’d brought and took out a ledger.

“Indeed, we barely sell anything to beastkin commoners,” I said, looking through the pages.

“The nobles purchase our products and seem to focus on natural cosmetics,” said Mireille.

“Even with high-end products, a majority of our customers are human nobles, not beastkin nobles. Practically all nobles were humans in the Kingdom of Haldoria, so I completely missed this discrepancy. Mireille, do you know the percentage of nobles beastkin that make up in the empire?”

“We’ll need to return home for me to get you the exact figure, though I believe it should be around twenty percent.”

“So that means we’re only targeting around eighty percent of the nobility,” said Lunoa.

“That’s not what you ought to take away from this,” I told her.

“What do you mean?”

“What matters isn’t that we’re only selling to eighty percent of the nobles. It’s that there’s an untapped market that makes up twenty percent of the noble population. Imagine how much we’ll profit if we create a product they’ll like.”

That wasn’t all. Beastkin populated several of Haldoria’s vassal countries. The kingdom’s nobles had no respect for these people they considered savages. There was one thing no one could ignore, though: beastmen had incredible physical abilities and could turn the tides of a war. At the moment, I had no cards to play to destabilize their relationship with the kingdom. If I could develop these cosmetics, they might play a role.

“Bring me a sample of all the nail polishes we’re developing,” I ordered an employee standing in a corner of the room.

“At once.”

I arranged them all on a table in front of Misha.

“Can you separate those you could tolerate from those you hate?” I asked.
