Chapter 356: Disguise
The dance practice ended, and tea time was also over. The time was just a little past three in the afternoon. There’s still time left.
“When Rosalia finishes the closure device she’s making, let’s deliver it to Alex, my older brother.”
“Understood. I’ll finish it right away!”
“Don’t rush…”
Before I could finish saying everything, Rosalia and Mira rushed toward the workshop with such force it seemed like they might make a buzzing sound. Behind them, Lelie was hurriedly chasing after them.
I’ve been causing Lelie a lot of trouble. I might need to bring her something as an apology next time.
“Then, until Rosalia finishes her work, let’s go to the alchemy room. We need to check if we have the materials for the sunscreen cream.”
“I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of new potion it will be.”
Fabienne was smiling happily. It seems she’s taken quite an interest in magic potions, which makes me happy. Maybe she’s been wanting sunscreen for a while. For women, sunburn is like a natural enemy.
I should prepare this for the knights as well. Once it’s completed, I’ll take it to them. It might also be a good idea to sell it through the merchant guild. Things are going to get busy. I’ll watch the situation for now. Depending on how things go, it might be better to sell it as a product exclusive to nobles.
I checked the materials in the alchemy room. Hmm, it looks like we’ll manage. The quality of the materials seems decent, so I think it’ll be fine. It was a good idea to gather a variety of mineral-based materials when making the detergent.
It seems I should have ordered some additional milky-white stone, the key material for the sunscreen cream.
“We’re going to make the sunscreen cream with these materials, huh? I never would have thought stones would be used as materials.”
“It’s an idea you don’t come across easily. Even though it’s a stone, it’s not for an oral medicine—it’s for something you apply to your skin.”
“Is it like a lotion?”
“You can think of it as something similar.”
When I said that, Fabienne seemed to understand. Just as I was about to start making the cream, Lelie rushed in.
“Um, Julius-sama, the closing device is finished.”
“It’s already done? I guess I should say ‘as expected’… Got it, I’ll head there right away.”
Lelie bowed and then left again. She seems to be running around quite a bit.
“I’ve been putting Lelie through a lot of trouble.”
“That’s not the case at all. She seems to really enjoy it, despite everything. I enjoy it as well.”
“Well, if that’s the case, that’s good.”
I couldn’t help but smile wryly. If Nero is enjoying every day, then that’s fine, right? I’ll just choose to think that way.
When I headed to the workshop with Fabienne, Rosalia flew over to us as if she had been waiting.
“Oniisan, look! It’s finished! We’re going to install it at the merchant guild now, right? Can I go with you?”
“Of course. Let’s go together. And we’ll need to show Alex-niisan the closing device you made, and brag about it.”
“I’m looking forward to it!”
While Rosalia was getting ready to go out, I decided to check the operation of the closing device just in case. Hmm, it seems like there’s no problem. Rosalia’s skill as a magic tool maker seems to be reaching an incredible level.
In the meantime, Nero had arranged for the carriage. There’s no need to worry about transportation now. What’s left is…
“Kyuu…”
“Mira wants to come along too, right?”
“Kyuu.”
What should I do? Is it okay to take the Holy Dragon to the merchant guild? It feels like it would cause quite a commotion if someone finds out… Oh, I’ve got it! I’ll disguise her! I’ll make Mira look like a puppy. I’ll hide her prominent horns with a scarf, and her tail… well, it’s so thick, it’s definitely not going to look like a dog.
“Nero, what do you think? Does she look like a puppy?”
“It might be a bit much…”
“Thought so.”
Well, it can’t be helped. Then it’s Plan B. I gently pat Mira’s head, which had fallen with a dejected look.
“Mira, shrink down. That way, people might think you’re just a stuffed animal.”
“Kyuu!”
In no time at all, Mira shrank down. The sight of Mira, now the size of a squirrel instead of a puppy, made the women scream in delight.
“So cute!”
Mira was being smothered with affection. While her usual puppy form is adorable, her new palm-sized form adds a doll-like cuteness. This should work, right? I can just put her in my breast pocket. Or Rosalia can hold her.
“Julius-sama, the preparations for departure are complete.”

“Alright, then let’s head to the merchant guild. I’m sure Alex-niisan will be surprised.”
He’s been looking lonely ever since Daniela, my sister-in-law, left. We need to visit the merchant guild frequently to cheer him up.
It didn’t take much time to reach the merchant guild. The road leading there is well-maintained, with cobblestone streets just like the main road. If it were asphalt, it would be faster, but I won’t do that.
Instead of heading to the workshop, we went straight to the merchant guild building. It seems the staff didn’t expect us to come again, as they were quite surprised. They led us to my brother’s office.
“Oh, Julius, you came again?”
“Alex-niisan!”
“Huh? Rosalia?”
My brother was surprised to see Rosalia appear from behind me. He quickly ran over and lifted her up with a very happy expression. I’m glad I brought Rosalia.
It seems my brother didn’t expect Rosalia to come. It’s a bit far from the mansion, and even if Rosalia came to the merchant guild, there wouldn’t be much for her to do. It seems he had calculated that Rosalia wouldn’t be coming.
“I’m glad you came, Rosalia. So, what’s all this? What’s going on?”
“Exactly what you’re thinking. Rosalia has finished making the closing device magic tool for the merchant guild, so we’re here to install it.”
Upon hearing this, Alex-niisan shook his head in disbelief, as if he couldn’t quite believe it.
“Rosalia’s talent as a magic tool maker is terrifying. It’s like I’ve got two Juliuses now.”
Wait, brother, why the sigh? Could it be that you think there’s now one more troublesome person around? How rude.
