Chapter 14: Tiger and Baumkuchen

A temporary truce was made because Elsa-sama wanted to drink Ginjiro’s tea.

In the unfamiliar field of cosmetics, Ginjiro is unable to shine, but this is different.

This is Ginjiro’s main job and a place where he can regain his composure.

I brew a tea in the best teacup I have.

As a tea snack, Ginjiro offered a Kansai Madame baumkuchen that he had purchased from the Net shop the other day.

The image of this baumkuchen is perfect for Elsa-sama.

TLN: This Baumkuchen maybe. The owner like Leopard patern. 7000 yen for 30 cm long baumkuchen. (51 USD/ 3k yen for 10roll GranblueFantasy gacha)

“This tea is delicious. And this baumkuchen? It looks like a log, but I like how sweet and moist it is.”

(Because I brought it out with you in mind.)

Ginjiro thinks so in his mind because he kept getting attacked earlier.

Elsa-sama then looks at me and smiles.

“By the way, is Ginjiro married?”

A sudden jab is struck.

Ginjiro wonders what this conversation goal is, but he can’t figure it out.

“I am single.”

Whatever it is, gather information first. See how it goes with one movement.

“Is that so? By the why I always wanted a son like Ginjiro-san.”

After a light jab, a strong straight jab released.

Ginjiro doesn’t know what she is saying, but he feels dangerous anyway.

A tiger stares at me.

I smile a little and sip my tea.

Silence is scary.

Ginjiro sweat is gushing out all at once.

I don’t want to stay in this arena, so I change the subject abruptly.

“Speaking of which, as Elsa-sama asked earlier about how to make a woman beautiful, I can think of one thing.”

Putting down the tea, Elsa-sama smiles gently this time.

Huh? She looks kind and gentle when talking about beauty.

Ginjiro is under the illusion that this place is comfortable.

“Elsa-sama hair looks great in half-up hairstyle, but I think Elsa-sama hair will look even more beautiful if Elsa-sama nourish it along with the basic cosmetics for your skin.”

The words came out smoothly, as if I were a cosmetics salesman.

I was a little surprised at myself.

“Thank you so much for the compliment. I’m happy.”

Okusama, who a moment ago was a tiger, became really kind and gentle.

When I calmly look at her closely, she is really beautiful, and I feel that I, who thought she was a tiger, must be a terrible person.

Ginjiro took out the shampoo and conditioner, which were stored in the item box.

This was a sample that he had received at the drugstore.

He handed over a small bag containing only a single dose.

“This is called shampoo, it cleanses your hair. And this is conditioner, which nourishes your hair.”

Ginjiro explains.

Cohen-san, the head maid, listens in the back.

“This package is a trial product, but I think it is effective enough. I will prepare a special product that is more effective than this one for Elsa-sama.”

It was agreed that Cohen-san would pick up the cosmetics and shampoo at the Hungry Bear Inn tomorrow.

Ginjiro received 10 large gold coins for the basic cosmetics.

In Japanese yen, that would be 1,000,000 yen. (7303 USD)

Although this is a set of high-end basic cosmetics, the purchase price at net shop is 4 small gold coins per set.

I refused to accept such a large amount of money, but Elsa-sama said that even this amount was too cheap.

In the end, feeling bad about the price, I told her that the shampoo would be free of charge.
