“Sorry for the wait,” I said, once I had returned to the reception room and seated myself across from His Highness once more.

“Oh, don’t worry about it,” he replied. “Do you get a lot of gatherers like that?”

I shook my head. “No, this is the first time. Some decide to try and intimidate me, but no one just suddenly gets violent... I’ve never seen those men before, so maybe they’ve just arrived in the village.”

“I see... If you have any trouble, let me know. I’ll offer enough help to make up for the trouble that Nord caused.”

“It’s kind of you to offer, but I think we’ll be fine. As you just saw, I can handle that kind of riff-raff.”

The royals in this country had enough power that they could force the system to do what they wanted to some degree. But it smelled to me like no good could come of relying on that power.

You have to plan carefully when money is involved, so taking on debts you don’t know the interest rate on should be avoided at all costs!!!

It was possible the debt might grow in no time, leaving me unable to move freely because of it.

My smile was twitching a little as I declined, but His Highness just seemed amused.

“Is that right? Very well, then,” he replied. “So, I believe we were talking about hair?”

I went on to ask about His Highness’s magical power, his skin’s condition, and a number of other health questions. The results would determine the mixing ratio for the materials I used.

I’d just be referencing the Complete Alchemy Works as I went along, so it wasn’t terribly complicated. The book spent a lot of pages on hair regrowth formula, though. Just looking at how thick that section was, it wasn’t hard to imagine just how much this problem had plagued the men of the world, how they had fought back against it, and how much money they had spent doing so.

The one thing in the Complete Works that seemed to compete with it was the amount of cosmetics for women. The amount that women would spend on their appearance was just as ridiculous as men’s hair troubles.

“Thank you for your cooperation, sir. That’s the last of my questions. Factoring in the time I’ll need to gather materials, I expect it will be a few weeks before the product is ready... What would you like to do?”

“In that case, I’ll drop by at another opportune moment. Please, take care of it for me.”

“Yes, I will.”

I rose at the same time as His Highness, and led him to the exit by myself.

What about Iris-san and Kate-san?

When I’d started asking him health questions, they had decided “there’s nothing we can do here to help,” and then run away.

The same went for Lorea-chan. But I wasn’t going to say anything about that. If Lorea-chan, who wasn’t used to dealing with royalty, had done something to
