Chapter 250: New Skincare Product

For this quest, we might need the smarter members to come, and some power as well. But Kayla said that she will stay at home, so I will Jewel. It will be her first mission, so she needs to gain experience. That's why she will be assisted by Sunny who will watch over her.

Other than Jewel, Kron insist in coming. In fact, even if I told him not to, he will just fly over to that village alone.

After that is Candy. Since she was a former agent of the kingdom, investigating is one thing she excel.

I think those three alone should be enough to handle the mission. They can contact those standing by with Sonia in case of danger after all. But Celestine insist in coming as well. Just like Jewel, it will be her first mission as well. As for Veronica, she thought that it's enough to have one expert level mage going.

I also went to Monsters World to ask if there are any Werewolves willing to be used to pull carriage. But they are too prideful to do it, so I guess there won't be any Wolf carriage. But Shelia will come in her human form.

"Well, good luck you five! And a flower! I'll wish you all the best!" I waved my hand to say farewell to the ones taking the mission.

"You're going with them as well! Why are you acting as if you're not going!?" Shirley complained.

"I mean people went missing, right? That's scary. I'll just stay at home." I said.

"Rejected. If you stay, I will confiscate your money and I will ask Lina and Ian to not cook for you during the duration of the quest." Sophie said.

"Why!?"

…somehow, Sophie has become scarier and scarier. What the hell happened to her? Is it my fault? Probably it's my fault.

As expected, when good girls go with bad boys, they will turn bad as well. But I'm a good boy!

"With your eyes, it's easier for the job to be completed. That's why you have no choice but to go." This time, it's Kayla who ordered me.

Having no other choice, I left home with the other to take the quest.

I wanted to take it easy today, but I guess that's impossible.

I got the horse carriage from Sam, and left the city toward the village where missing people are reported from. It should take us one day with horse carriage to get there. As expected, flying is much faster. But at least I can take it easy inside the carriage.

We used the main road for a while, then once we get close to the checkpoint, I left alone. I sneaked past the checkpoint and open up a portal so the whole carriage can enter.

"In the end, we still need to use portal." I sighed.

"At least we can take it easy. There hasn't been any sighting of monsters so far. But after the checkpoint, there should be some dangerous monsters. We need to prepare to fight." Candy said.

"So, how long will it take for us to go there?" I asked again.

"At this pace, we should be able to reach there after lunch tomorrow. On the map, we should be able to reach plains which should be a good place for camping." Jewel said as she looks over at the map.

"I see. Jewel, prepare for battle. Monsters are coming. They are just boars, so you should be able to handle them alone. Shelia, prepare to support her just in case."

I can see several boars ahead. Probably about five of them. We will encounter them soon, so I asked Jewel to prepare.

"Why can't it be me who will fight!? I want to fight!" Shelia complained.

"Fine… there's a lot of monsters, but none of them are in front of us. You can fight them. You know their location, right?"

"Yeah, I can smell them. Then, I'm off!"

"Just don't fight any monsters ahead! They will be for Jewel."

"I know!"

Then, Shelia left the carriage to enjoy fighting some monsters. Werewolf is such a battle addict monster. Good thing I have became their king.

"You can see that far? Even with my sense as an Expert level mage can't sense that far. I can only detect some monsters nearby. I heard that your eyes can see through things as well. Have you been enjoying the sights lately?" Celestine asked.

Oh no! She noticed! What should I say to make her forgive me?

"Pretty much. This is useful as a doctor, though I'm still not one at the moment. I can see your internal organs are working perfectly. I think you will live a long life if you're this healthy."

I hope she will be distracted by my medical skill. Although my memory suck, It's just mostly about people's names and faces. Not about the knowledge I learned.

"Really? That's good. I always take care of my body and my skin.  Especially now that I'm surrounded by younger girls, I'm conscious about my skin." Celestine said.

Good job, me! The topic changed to skincare! Now, I can let someone else handle it.

"If it's about skincare, then Victoria is the best to ask." I said as Victoria talk in her slime form.

"Huhu… skincare and women can't be separated! Although I'm a slime and can transform to anything I want, I'm still learning how to take care of myself!" Victoria said.

"Then, what else should I do? I think I have done everything to take care of my skin." Celestine asked. Candy also interested in learning.

Looking at her, I don't think that Celestine is any older than the girls. Probably younger than Penny. I never ask and I don't dare to ask. If she thinks she's a bit older than the others, I guess that means she's doing a great job in taking care of her body.

What about Veronica then? Is she the same age as Celestine? Or is it the effect of reaching expert level?

Victoria then explains all kind of necessary things for skincare.

"Ah! I'm glad there's someone older with us! Ruby and Penny doesn't seem to care about it, but finally, I meet someone who understands!" Victoria said happily.

"Why are you so excited?" I asked curiously.

"Because of my past! In my world, the city I lived in has a lot of pollution. That's why as a woman, I need to take care of my skin even from my teenage years. But here, there were almost no pollution at all young girls don't need to care about it. But as expected, older woman still cares about her beauty!"

…again, what the hell is wrong with her world?

Long distance communication even better than using Sonia, her hobbies, technologies, knowledge, everything is much more advanced than here.

From what I heard, the people in that world lives as if they are in a hurry. It's as if everyone is competing which one invent better things.

"Oh, I also made something with my clones. If you put them in your face like a mask, I can have them to absorb all kind of dirt unnoticed with naked eyes like dust or dirt. It will make your skin shinier. It's still under experiment, but if you want to try it, please do!" Victoria promoting her product.

Absorbing dirt on my face? That seems like a money-making product.

With my Divine Vision, I can see that although from the outside it's seems normal, most people have dust covered their faces. The dust is so small and stuck on our faces, and even if we wash our face with water, it will still be there.

"Victoria, I'll take one now. I'll use it right away. I can see if the dirt on my face will be absorbed or not." I said.

"Here! Please give me the review about this after you're done!"

"Master! Should I take one as well!?" Jewel asked.

"You're still young, so you don't need to mind about your skin yet. But if it can really absorb dust and dirt, you can use it. For now, take care of those boars first. You can see them now, right?"

I put on the Blobbymask while Jewel leave the carriage. Kron is the one driving the carriage and he stopped so we can watch Jewel fight.

I often had Blobbymask over my face, but it's the first time I feel that they are doing something on my skin. I guess back then, they were just for show. Used only for its purpose, which is to cover my face. Not to clean my skin.

With this, I can have glowing skin on my face! Maybe.

"Master, look at me!"

Jewel said to me, and transform into her rhino form. Not the hybrid one. I don't think there's any usefulness in her hybrid form at the moment, that's why her rhino form is much better.

And as she charged forward in her rhino form, she enveloped herself with lightning.

The boar in front of her died in an instant, but since it's difficult for her to maneuver in that form, she only got one hit. That's why with the lightning around her body, as long as the boar hit her body, they will be shocked by lightning. And she will turn back and defeat the other boars after passing them all.

And that's how Jewel finished defeating all the boars. She returned to the carriage along with Shelia who has also finished her side.

"Good job, you two. Let's go so we can get to the camping spot sooner."

We continue moving toward the village, while I'm still wondering about Jewel. Her defense might be greater now, but the opponent we'll be facing in the future are mages from the cult.

If the enemies are earth mages, she can endure their attack. But what about other elements? She might still be able to protect herself for a while, but that's it.

Maybe it's better if she's the one with that fishnet stocking…

As for the Blobbymask… they will be one time use product that can only be sold in Cassau. I'm going to get more money!
