In front of Cornelia lay several letters. If she were being honest, she didnt want to look at them She wanted to pretend she had seen nothing at all, remove her makeup, crawl into bed, and sleep like a corpse sinking into mud.But unfortunately, they were things that could not be avoided. No matter how terrifying they might be no matter how fiercely her stomach protested in the form of sharp pain, she had no choice but to read them.
Before that, however, there was one thing she had to say. Turning quietly toward Anne, who stood by her side, Cornelia spoke in a calm voice.
[My stomach hurts, so cancel all of todays appointments.]
[Understood. In any case, today was mainly scheduled for studying matters related to managing the trading company, and depending on the contents of the letters, it may be necessary to arrange a discussion with your father and mother]
Fortunately, she had no plans to go out today and had only been scheduled to study company management, so adjusting her schedule was quickly done. Soon, her attention returned to the letters.
Perhaps, when the First Hero, who had once challenged the Demon King as a mere human, faced that battle, she had felt something like this. With that thought in mind, Cornelia picked up a letter.
[F- First, something with a confirmed matter. The one from the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company]
Perhaps she needed a bit of mental preparation after all, because she chose to begin with the letter from the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company, whose contents she could more or less predict.
As expected, it was a prior greeting regarding their visit the day after tomorrow and a request that Cornelia also be present at the negotiation table.
That, at least, was within expectations. Thanks to Kaitos influence, she had become acquainted with the four Special Advisors, so this fell well within the realm of what she had anticipated.
[As for the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company, I was planning to attend anyway, and theres no issue with the contents. Ill send a reply via teleport delivery saying we look forward to it as well. Now then next]
[Its Miyama Kaito-samas letter, isnt it?]
[Yes I think so. Its likely related to the contents of the other letters]
Moving in a manner that could only be described as hesitant, Cornelia picked up Kaitos letter. She closed her eyes briefly as if in prayer before opening it and reading.
The contents were, as expected, about the exclusive brushes having arrived, and how he was extremely pleased with its feel and usability.
However, what followed was a major problem.
[Using a specialized tool to convert mana wavelengths? A significant effect in equalizing mana permeation rates? No issue when using it personally even without conversion? A- Ahh, in other words is that what this means? It wasnt something unknown to me or the Victor Trading Company, but that brush isnt just for grooming, it has far greater effects when used for the beauty care of Dragon or Beast-type Demons a- and taking that into account Kaito-sama has recommended it to those under the Dragon Kings command T- Thank goodness I hadnt eaten breakfast yet I feel like Im going to throw up.]
[Lady Cornelia, isnt this an emergency? This is clearly turning into something far beyond what we anticipated.]
[Y- Yes Indeed, we did consider the possibility that if Kaito-sama liked the brush, orders might come from the Dragon Kings camp as well. But that assumption was based on people willing to purchase an expensive exclusive brush purely for brushing.]
Yes, just as Akane had predicted, Cornelia and the members of the Sharon Trading Company had anticipated that if Kaito took a liking to the exclusive brush, its promotional effect might create significant demand among those under the Dragon King.
However, even so, the exclusive brush was a custom-made luxury item. Certainly high quality, yes, but it wasnt as though its brushing performance was overwhelmingly superior to commercially available brushes.
Those with particular tastes or ample financial means might purchase it, but it was never expected to result in massive-scale orders. And yet, that very premise had now been completely overturned.
Cornelia was aware, at least as knowledge, that the uniformity of mana permeation rates was an extremely significant factor in terms of beauty for Dragon and Beast-type Demons. She had also heard that it was a fairly advanced technique.
A brush that made such high-level magical beauty treatment comparatively easy to perform It was easy to imagine that many would want to obtain one, even if the price were somewhat steep.
[T- This theres a possibility that orders could come in on an outrageous scale T- That brush is a custom-made item, and even producing a single one takes a considerable amount of time W- Well need to expand the scale of the workshop to at least three times no, five times what we originally projected or we wont be able to keep up!?]
[I shall inform the Master and Madam to gather immediately.]
[P- Please do. In the meantime, Ill check the other letters.]
Even as she felt the blood draining from her face, somewhere in her mind she could calmly surmise that the letters from Magnawell, Nidzveld, and Eingana were likely related to this matter.
However as for the remaining letters from Amel, Bacchus, and Gluttony, what in the world could those be about? Cornelia had been wondering that when her eyes fell upon the final line written in Kaitos letter, her face turned from pale blue to utterly white.
While Im at it, if theres anyone I know outside of the Dragon Kings subordinates who shows interest, Ill recommend the exclusive brush to them as well.
I see so this is what it feels like to be a prisoner who has just been sentenced to death. With that distant realization, Cornelia slumped limply back against her chair.
Serious-senpai : [Shes already taken a fatal hit right from the opening move, is she gonna be okay? And this still isnt even everything you can tell from the letters yet. Theres also going to be talk from the Seditch Magic Tool Trading Company about a revolution in magic tools, you know?]
? ? ? : [So this is Stomach Catastrophe huh]
