✔DROP!! A TALE OF THE FRAGRANCE PRINCESS

Volume 1, Act 04: An Encounter with a Potential Collaborator

It was several days after Cordelias outing with Isma.

A lot of herbs had been transplanted into Cordelias greenhouse. In addition to lavender, mint and lemon balm, which shed heard about beforehand, there was also marigold, which Isma told her about, and furthermore chamomile, etc. that were all neatly lined up.

The phrase『Im satisfied』might have been used at such times.

Then, when the plants were transferred, the greenhouse had been expanded a little.

Surrounded by those flowers, Cordelia began investigating the whereabouts of the next plant that she wanted to get her hands on, in a book shed brought out from the library. In truth, she wanted to immediately start refining the essential oils; however, since the plants she brought back werent recognised as common medicinal plants, the Pameradia Houses current analysis magician was in the middle of investigating them for the presence of danger. In brief, the plants were in custody, and she had free time on her hands.

However, it was very convenient for Cordelia that they were being analysed. She had knowledge from her previous life, so she knew their effects and how to use them in an unsavoury way, but she still hadnt grasped the relation between that and a plants magic. She was thankful that it was being analysed to avoid danger. It would be even better if they also investigated if adding magic gave them the same effects as the plants in her previous life.

For example: peppermint improved psychoneurotic symptoms such as drowsiness and lack of concentration, as well as improves anorexia, calming effects, and so on; lemon balm improved nerve pains caused by anxiety, insomnia and migraines; chamomile helped with stiff shoulders and back pains; lavender improved nerve fatigues, neurogenic gastritis and sleeping disorders, and then marigold, which Isma told her about, improved dermatitis.

She wrote the primary uses for the plants, but the analysis magician, who had received it, looked grim.

It seemed that investigating that was way more difficult than examining for toxicity.

Incidentally, the analysis magician was called Ronnie; he came to the Parmeradia House two years prior and was an amateur magician. Cordelia had nominated him herself, and the reason for that was merely because he was the youngest. She knew that she was trying to do something outside of conventional wisdom, so she thought someone young, who looked unconventional, would be good Of course, there were also veteran magicians with flexible thinking among the Parmeradia Houses magicians or so she thought, but if they were too much of a veteran then Cordelia, herself, would shrink back.

However, the head magician disapproved of Cordelias nomination. She said, Ronnie is a very extraordinary magician, but he is a complete amateur when it comes to etiquette, so its a little problematic to get him to help Ojou-sama,

However, for Cordelia, since they would be at home, if he had the ability then no one would care that much if his speech was somewhat crude. Also, if it were someone shed know for a long time, then it would be more comfortable if they werent formal.

But Ronnie looked like he was having a lot of fun, even though he said it was difficult.

Was his usual job not interesting? Cordelia thought questioningly while closing the book shed been reading. Then, she proceeded to write down the name of a place onto a piece of paper she had on hand.

Ill procure rosemary next if I can. Then I want to drink it with white wine. Though, the current me still cant drink.

It seemed that there were no age restrictions on drinking in this kingdom. To be accurate, drinking outside was allowed after one became an adult, but there didnt seem to be any laws on drinking inside of the house. However, with her current body size, shed probably get drunk really quickly.
