Chapter 58: I can do my best when eroticism is added to the diet
TN Note: changing Monsters to demon beast as the author recently uses it more often
Apparently, baby Hati has started to sleep out again, It sleeps well.
âWhat kind of position does a god beast have in the ecosystem?â (Luke)
âWhat do you mean?â
A sudden question came up. Zeno-san was listening to me.
âYou canât make a servant contract with ordinary animals, like dogs and cats right?â
âYou canât. Only with demon beasts. You canât contract with ordinary bears, but you can contract with demon beasts such as â Brown Bear, ââ Red Bear, âandâ Black Bearâ. But you canât form contracts with demon beasts that have âkillerâ in their names such as âKiller Bearâ and âKiller Mantisâ, it seems that even a tamer canât sign such contracts. â
âBut a god beast isnât a demon beast since there are no magic stones in its body, isnât it?â
âIf you put it that way, yes. So youâre saying itâs a normal animal like a dog or a cat?â
âIâm not sure. Fenrir said that he wonât need to eat as much as a normal servant, but I think it probably has tastes. I think we should give it the pleasure of food through taste. Iâll go buy a baby bottle tomorrow after class. I wonder if they sell bottles for pets or something.â
âIâll ask the tamer about it and arrange it.â
âThat helps. I donât even know where to go to buy baby bottles for animals.â
The king was about to leave after Hati slept again. However, just before the first queen left, she told Emilia a little harshly.
âEmilia. I was going to keep quiet this time, but I still have to tell you. No matter how unofficial our visit may be, wearing that collar in front of the king was disrespectful. Iâm aware of your situation, but I wonât allow you to wear that [recognition-inhibiting collar] on an official occasion. Those who donât know your situation will think Itâs an insult â
âIâm sorry aunt. I usually donât wear it officially. Itâs only when Iâm attending school.â
âItâs okay, mother-in-law Carmilla, I donât mind. Iâll wait till she feels like showing me.â
âThatâs funny. Do you not care about the appearance of the girl youâre going to get married to?â
âSaying I donât care, is a lie, but I donât want to see it so much that I force her and make her scared.â
âȘ âȘ As expected of master! Emiliaâs a good girl, so you donât care about her appearance ~â«
âWhat? Of course I care. There are other girls with good personalities in the class right? Anyway, I prefer a girl with a good personality and good looks.â
âȘ âȘ âŠâŠâŠâŠ Well, thatâs okay âŠâŠ If a strange man approaches Emilia, Navi will beat him up! ⫠ {TN: Whenever ? ? sign is used, the Navi speaking is the Pixie Navi and not the inventory Navi}
âThank you, Navi!â (Emilia)
Nice work, Navi. It looks like Navi will get along with Emilia first.
âHmm? I got an email from the school director ⊠Oh! At the staff meeting, it was decided that the sacred beasts and holy beasts could be kept in our own rooms in the dormitory. I think thatâs fine. If theyâre noisy, it will interfere with the lesson, so Iâll keep it in the dormitory during the lesson ⊠â
I and Mifa received an email from the school director.
âSpinel is smart, so I think sheâll keep quiet during class.â
âHati seems to be sleeping all the time. Well, the next two days are still part of the â summoning ceremony â, so weâre just watching from the bleachers, so itâs okay for me to watch these children.â
âWhat about Dragon-sama?â
âHe wrote that I should apply to the government for expansion work on the animal house. Will she have to stay there during class?â
âWill she be obedient?
âI donât know. But Iâm going to let her be free. If itâs a dragon that attacks people, there would be some kind of rumor about it, I think sheâs harmless enough to let her run free.â
âThatâs right. If you force her to do something badly and make her angry, the country could die. Luke, be very careful. There are some stories about ancient dragons appearing in villages, but becoming a servant, Iâve never heard of it. Given their longevity, being a servant of a person may be just a whim, but please treat it as carefully as possible. â (King Zeno)
âYes, I know.â

Finally everyone has gone home, now itâs time to prepare!
â âȘ Are you going to do it now? ă\
âOf course! The Avatar has developed shampoos and treatments with almost the same ingredients as those of a certain manufacturer, we canât afford not to try them! ă\
â âȘ Canât we use the ones made by the avatar today? ă\
â I really want to see if my skill level in the workshop is reflected in reality! ă\
So, on the table, I arrange the materials of this world that the avatars had specified. All the plants were sold in the Yakushi Guild. {TN: Yakushi means Apothecary of medicinal)
By the way, there are amino acid-based shampoos, higher alcohol-based shampoos, and soap-based shampoos in Japan, but this time we will make amino acid-based shampoos that are often found in high-end beauty salons.
Amino acids are less irritating to the hair and scalp and are gentle on the skin. However, the cleansing power is slightly weaker than that of alcohol. Considering the number of times we wash our hair in this world, it may not be very suitable. Still It doesnât matter cause I take a bath every day.
âLuke, what are you doing?â
Iris asked curiously.
âIâm going to make a liquid soap that I developed before to wash my hair. The one Iâm using now will make my hair dry without sesame oil, I donât really like it.â
Iris also wanted to help, so I asked her to crush the coconut seeds and chop the stems and roots of flowers and plants.
There are quite a lot of processes such as mortaring in a mortar or boiling in holy water. And the most important deciding factor is alchemy magic.
âAlchemy? I canât do this part ⊠sorry.â
âWell, to be honest, this process is the most important. The ingredients that we donât need are removed when we synthesize them with alchemy magic.â
âWhat are you removing?â
âPlants have a lot of toxins. If you boil them, youâll get lye, which also has a lot of toxins. You can magically erase them.â {TN: Lye is a strongly alkaline solution used for washing or cleansing.}
It took about 1 hour to complete 2L of shampoo, conditioner and body soap.
âItâs done! Itâs a hair wash with restorative properties! Letâs use it in the bath right away.â
âLuke, should it be used like traditional soap?â
âYes, but in order. First, use this light blue liquid soap to remove dirt, and then use this light green one with restorative properties to moisturize and restore damaged hair. This white one is for body use only. There is also one for the face, but I didnât make it today because I still have a lot of stuff I made before.
Navi even made facial soap, lotion and milky lotion for after taking a bath. When I said, âI donât need that kind of thing,â she emphasized that it was absolutely necessary to increase the girlsâ liking.
I think she definitely wanted it.
âIâm not sure how to use it. Thatâs right! Luke, I have a swimsuit with me, may I join you?â
Hey, are you serious? Itâs like sheâs asking me to attack, right?
ââȘ Hmm, that doesnât seem to be the case. She just wants to try the products she made together with you as soon as possible. But she doesnât know how to use it, so it seems she thought it would be good to go together. Creating a situation where she canât complain even if sheâs attacked ⊠Iâm a little worried about this girl. â
â Youâre talking about wearing a swimsuit, but donât you think Iâd get lustful and attack you? Are you a little sweet girl like that, or are you inviting me?â
âHuh? Oh!! I didnât mean to invite you! Iâm sorry. I forgot that youâre a boy of my age.â
âNo, Iâm sorry for spoiling your fun and dampening your mood. But you canât complain if I get in the mood and attack you, okay?â
âThatâs right. It seems that I was a little wrong about the distance between usâ
Wow, sheâs really depressed.
She was having fun until a while ago âŠ
âWell, then, get ready for the bath and put on your swimsuit. Iâll teach you how to use it.â
âeh?â
âDonât worry, I wonât attack you. Your guard was just so loose that I had to jab at you.â
âThatâs right. Your points this time are high too! You could have attacked silently, but instead advised me properly! Youâre liking has gone up again!â
âYouâre really a girl I donât understand âŠâ
âIs that so? Iâm an ordinary girl of my age? Iâm just a calculating girl who thinks about whether or not she can make herself happy first and foremost. â
âOh really?â
âThen, Iâll prepare for the bath. Yes, letâs do muscle training before taking a bath today. Yesterday we were sweating after taking a bath and it was a hassle to do it twice. Today, weâll do exercise before taking a bath. Letâs practice the massage later. This is most efficient. â
* * *
Iris, who went to prepare for the bath and came back, was wearing a blue bikini.
As usual, she holds my legs down when Iâm doing sit-ups, but ⊠this is worse than yesterday! Every time I get up, the big melon in front of me shakes!
âIris. Donât you understand what I just said! Whatâs with this delicious melon?â
âMelon!? Because Luke said he didnât like inefficiencies, I thought Iâd be as efficient as possible.â
âSure, when I ordered you to have a meal together, I said that ⊠but with that kind of swaying! You canât complain even if youâre attacked!â
âUnlike before, Iâm prepared for it this time!â
Really?
ââȘ Hmmm, she certainly seems to be prepared. From Irisâs perspective, Master seems to be by far the best marriage partner ever. The deciding factor is that you got the sacred beast and the ancient dragon as servants. This girl often uses the word âcalculativeâ, but it seems that the most important thing is who makes her happy. â
Did she decide I was going to make her happy? Iâm very happy to think that such a cute girl thought so. Itâs a manâs best interest. But, after all, itâs because I have the welfare of an apostle rather than me as an individual.
Itâs said that not eating a set meal is the shame of a man, but I donât think now is the time.
Iâm not sure if Iâd have taken it if it was me before I died, but in this world, there are ties to nobility. Itâs not that Iâm intimidated because Iris is too cute and I donât want to scare her.
âHmm ⊠I want to attack you, but Iâll put up with it.â
âIs that so? To be honest, Iâm relieved to hear that, but I feel a little disappointed because I was prepared for it.â
âItâs because I have Mifa. Itâs a little dishonest to touch Iris first since I accepted Mifaâs confession. If I touch Iris now and she finds out, there will probably be a lot of complicated feelings. In particular, I think she would feel more uncomfortable with Iris than with me.?Worst of all, sheâd probably have bad feelings and hate you, right?â
âThatâs right! I almost got disliked by Mifa! This time is also a high point! Luke is a person who can be very considerate of his surroundings. Today alone Lukeâs favorability points are MAX!â
Iris seems to have completely favored me. However, because of that, she began spartan muscle training saying, âBe thin.â
â26 ~ (Pururun!), Thatâs it! 4 more times! Good luck Luke! Just a little more! 27 ~ (Pururun!)â
Quite tough! However, as long as there is a purun purun in front of me, I am motivated MAX!
If itâs just hard, I wonât last, but if erotism is added to it, a manâs switch gets turned on and he can work harder than his normal physical strength!
