After the audience with the king, many letters of engagement from the nobles arrived .
It’s time of my recording popularity! (Including previous life)
However, all of them were naturally declined .
That’s because I have no plans of deciding my fiancee .
The letters sail on the first rush and don’t come again most likely after considering my standpoint .
The amount of letters decreased discernibly .
I don’t know whether they have given up, but it seems they have withdrawn for now .
I was slightly enjoying my period of popularity, so I was slightly saddened when it ended though……
Well, I won’t get charmed by a comrade who is after Father’s status or my spirit contracts!
Now then, I have left the declining of the marriage proposals to Father and decided to raise a cozy flower bed with medicinal herbs in the corner of the garden .
While being taught by Hughley .
Since Hughley is a green spirit, he’s an expert when it comes to plants .
No matter what plant it is, knowing how to raise it is his forte .
Hughley also supplied the seeds and seedlings, so I decided begin cultivating with no worries .
After a shor time, Father learned that I’m raising plants, but he made a greenhouse for me in the garden .
『Let’s make it』it was finished three days after he made such statement .
This isn’t a cozy 4-5 tatami one!
It’s the size of a twenty meters long pool, you know?
To build that in three days!
I reaffirmed the power of the Duke house .
But, since the place is so spacious, I decided to begin cultivating medicinal plants all-out .
Since the usable area became larger, it seems that I will be able to raise several herbs along the medicinal plants, doesn’t it?
What should I plant~
However, unlike the small flowerbed, I’m not able to take care of this vast place all by myself .
My stamina and physical strength are still too low .
Thus, Hughley who is usually in his palm-sized form returns to his original size and helps me out while I’m working in the greenhouse .
We have already found out that Hughley’s original form is of the human-size, so I wonder why he returns to the Medium-grade spirit’s size while at home .
I wonder why?
Well, his small form is cute, so I don’t really mind .
After this and that, once I was raising the plants all-out and after raising the seeds and seedlings Hughley brought, I noticed .
Precious medicinal plants were mixed among the plants, medicinal plants which can’t be cultivated at home were scattered along, even super-high grade herbs……
Father, my brothers, and the gardener Tom-san were extremely surprised when they saw the greenhouse .
Moreover, many medicinal plants were ready for consumption before I noticed .
To be honest, I made too much .
This, can this be sold……?
It has been arranged that the doctors in the castle will buy them after consulting with Father .
Un, I’m glad~
Light Spirit Miria is also creating a pseudo-sun when the weather is poor, so she helps the plants with a plenty of light .
Also, Miria seems to like the scent, śo I’m helping her with the cultivation, but it’s limited to flowers .
There are many flowers that can be used as ingredients in medicine, aren’t there?
Recently, she has begun raising roses which have nothing to do with medicine . She seems to be growing various kinds of roses .
And before I noticed, a greenhouse for roses was built .
I wonder whether Miria asked Father?
I have not requested him and Father didn’t say anything like the『Let’s make it』from before, so the details of the greenhouse are a mystery .
But Miria is happy, so oh well……
Miria makes skin lotions, oils, soaps, perfumes, and even herb tea from the roses she’s raising .
I wonder why she knows how to make such things……
I was curious, but I set it aside with『She’s Spirit-san』 .
And like that, the various goods made from roses are gifts from Miria to me .
Apparently, she feels satisfied just by making them, and she doesn’t need them .
In that case, I will gratefully receive them .
However you see, I’m still a three-year-old, so my skin is still all jiggly and springy .
I could use the skin lotion and soap, but I don’t use oils that much, and it’s still too early for perfumes .
Thus, I decided to share it with the female servants working at the house and let them use it for a while .
Because I wanted to know their impressions and stuff .
The lotion and oil seem to have very good results .
The skin of the servants became glossy .
The perfume also has a reputation of having a good fragrance .
This has somehow spread through the servants, and before I knew it, many noble wives and misses flooded us with questions .
Let me tell you that the inquiring of the beautiful wives and misses was terrifying .
In the end, it was decided to commercialize the beauty care .
Light Spirit Deluxe was the catch phrase .
Because not many can be sold, so they were pretty expensive products with limited quantity .
Still, it sold like hot cakes .
That’s what Merchant-san who came said in excitement .
The sales from the medicinal plants and beauty products were saved as my personal assets .
Father is managing the money, but it appears that I already have quite a good sum .
Of course, I have consulted about this with Hughley and Miria too, but both don’t have any interest in money .
Is it fine then?
But, even if the house collapses, even if I get exiled, I won’t be troubled about funds to live!
It was a wonderful incident .
Yay♪
