Chapter 374: New Possibilities
It was my turn to take a bath, so I went in with Fabienne and Mira. Of course, Nero was also there, and like the other servants, we were all wearing swimsuits.
I’m really glad I made these swimsuits. The only time we need to take them off is when washing our bodies, but other than that, I can bathe with peace of mind.
When Fabienne is washing her body, I just need to sit in the bath and face the other direction. During that time, I can play around with Mira.
“Mira-sama’s fur has really grown long, hasn’t it?”
“That’s right. I’ve never cut it since birth. I thought it wouldn’t grow at all.”
“Kyuu?”
I wondered while observing Mira. There was no event like fur trimming in the game. This must be a unique event in this world.
Wait a minute. Could it be that Mira’s fur is growing because she’s eating delicious food and the extra nutrition is going into her fur growth?
Lately, she’s been eating dried fruits, cookies, and cakes. Normally, Mira’s body should be sustained by the magic I share with her. Since Mira is a Holy Dragon, she doesn’t gain weight. Perhaps instead of gaining weight, her fur is just growing. This is an unexpected discovery.
When Fabienne finished washing her body, I decided to wash Mira’s body next. I usually wash her, but today I did it more carefully than usual.
“Kyuu, kyuu.”
Mira, covered in bubbles, seemed to be making happy sounds. I think she’s happy. Since I can’t use a sponge, I wash her by hand, rubbing and scrubbing her. It looks like we’ll finish soon since Fabienne, Nero, and I are all washing her together.
“Mira-chan’s fur is so nice and smooth.”
“It’s so silky. As expected of a Holy Dragon.”
“Mira-sama’s fur, can it be used for something?”
While carefully washing Mira’s front paws, Nero asked. It seems like Nero has figured out my intentions. As expected of Nero. Mira narrowed her eyes and looked at us. I gave her head a thorough wash. She looked like she was enjoying it.
“I’m not sure yet what Mira’s fur can be used for. I’m thinking of trying various things. I heard that Holy Dragons have incredible magic resistance, so I think this fur might have similar properties.”
“If that’s the case, would it be possible to make a magic potion with more magic resistance than the salve we made today?”
“I see, that’s a good idea.”
Hmm, Fabienne seems to have gained quite a bit of skill as a potion maker. The fact that she came up with that idea so quickly shows she’s really thinking things through. It seems like we can make that. Let’s start by trying that out.
“Julius-sama, can the salve only be used on glass?”
“No, it can also be used on metal. Ah, if we apply it to the armor used by the knights, we could make armor with high magic defense.”
“Is that really okay?”
Fabienne cautiously asked. That’s a really good question. I hadn’t considered the possibility that it might not be okay. That was close. If Fabienne hadn’t mentioned it, it could have turned into a big problem.
“Alright, let’s think this through. First, we need to figure out how many types of armor with magic resistance exist.”
“I haven’t heard of many, but maybe the royal family has some?”
“The royal family, huh… I wonder if they’re not more commonly available?”
“Hmmm, I feel like I’ve only heard about them in stories. If we’re talking about magic-resistant metals, could it be mithril?”
Mithril, huh. That does have magic resistance. Then there’s orichalcum. I wonder if that exists here. There might be some magic-resistant cloth somewhere as well.
“Do you think mithril is sold around here?”
“I’ve never seen it.”
“Then maybe it’s better not to apply it to the armor after all…”
They probably thought this was dangerous. Nero and Fabienne gave a wry smile. I’m sure my face looks just as awkward and smiling right now. It would be great if the knights’ safety were increased, but if I did that, people would say, “Here goes Julius again.” It’s dangerous.
Luckily, there haven’t been many situations where magic resistance was necessary up until now. Monsters that use magic aren’t very common, and there aren’t any around here that breathe fire. In other words, we don’t need such high-level defense.
But still, there’s always the chance of something happening. I think it’s not a bad idea to prepare it as high-end equipment for elite knights. When I brought this up to the two of them, they quickly agreed.
“That’s a good idea. You never know what might happen. It’s always better to be prepared.”
“I agree with Fabienne-sama. If we don’t make too many, and only distribute them to the knights of the Count of Heine’s frontier family, it shouldn’t cause too many issues.”
“Well then, I’ll talk to Lionel tomorrow. As for telling Father… maybe I should just report it afterward?”
Ah, both of them are making subtle faces. It looks like it would be better to talk to Father first. But I’m not sure how effective the salve will be. That’s the sticking point.
I suggested it with enthusiasm, but if it doesn’t have much effect, it might be a bit of a letdown.
“I’ll talk to Father properly. But before that, we need to check how effective it actually is.”
“That’s true. We know the salve works, but we don’t know how much magic resistance it actually has. It would be better to conduct a proper test before proposing it, so he’ll be more convinced.”
It looks like Fabienne, who was getting all bubbly with Mira, agrees with that.
After thoroughly washing Mira, I used the shower to rinse off the bubbles. The shower is so convenient for moments like this. In no time at all, Mira’s fur was shiny and smooth.
“Now we just need to dry her, and Mira will be all fluffy.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
