Chapter 22
In the evening, after a long day of heavy classes, Ophelia enjoyed a sumptuous dinner in the school cafeteria before returning to her dormitory.
Not in a hurry to finish today's homework, she first opened the instruction manual sent by her brother. According to the guard, this is the instruction manual for her birthday present. Thinking of this, Ophelia looked back at the boxes piled high in the corner of the room.
She already knew that all the things inside came from a store called Supermarket. Her brother Augustus highly praised "Supermarket" in his letter, and especially recommended a food called chocolate. Of course, he also sent her some this time. In addition to chocolate, the others were all food, each with a name that she was unfamiliar with, and the thick stack of instructions was about how to taste those foods.
And the real birthday gift for her was specially packed in an exquisite box. According to her brother, it contained shampoo and shower gel.
"Shampoo? Shower gel?" The name alone tells you what they are used for. Ophelia took her gift out of the box. When she got the round bottle, she couldn't help but get close to the bottle and smell it. As expected, she smelled a rich floral scent. Ophelia couldn't help but exclaim, "It smells good." Because of
someone's criminal record, she carefully threw a bunch of detection magic on it.
Unexpectedly, there was no trace of magic on these things.
In this case, let's try them.
Ophelia took these two things into the bathroom.
As a noble, she usually used precious soaps for shampooing and bathing. As the daughter of an earl, everything she enjoyed was of the highest quality. This time, she followed the instructions in the manual, pressed the top of the bottle, squeezed out a lump of milky white semi-solidified liquid, wet her body and applied it on her body.
Soon, she discovered the magic of these two things.
Unlike soap, the skin washed with shower gel becomes exceptionally smooth and moisturized, without the dry feeling of the past, and shampoo is even more magical. It is easy to rub a head of bubbles. After rinsing the bubbles with water, her hair not only becomes very smooth, not as rough as before, but also exudes a faint floral fragrance.
The light fragrance follows her everywhere, elegant and not pungent, and her body and hair become exceptionally refreshed. No matter how expensive the soap is, it has never brought her such an experience.
As a girl, Ophelia immediately fell in love with these two toiletries.
"My brother told me that such a useful thing was invented by a great magician." Thinking of the mysterious great magician who carved an ice magic circle in the store to cool herself down, as a magic apprentice, she couldn't help but yearn for it: "I really want to see that person in person."
Smelling the faint fragrance in the air, she opened her homework again, and her attention seemed to become easier to concentrate than usual.
She finished a day's homework in a shorter time than usual. It was far from her usual bedtime. Looking at the thick instruction manual, Ophelia's mind moved and she looked at the remaining boxes in the corner of the room.
Her brother said in the letter that everything sold in the supermarket was very magical, especially the food...
By the way, there seemed to be some kind of face cream in her birthday present?
What was that?
...
The next day, Ophelia woke up as usual and got up to greet the new day's classes.
The study in the magic school is not easy. In order to resist the attack of the devil and the monsters in the wild, most magicians go to the front line to fight after graduation. In order not to let themselves die in the mouth of monsters one day, every student is very hardworking, and the school is also committed to training students to become independent great magicians.
Maybe because she just celebrated her birthday yesterday, Ophelia was in a very happy mood today. When she came to the classroom, most of the people were already sitting in it.
She walked through the seats and came to her seat. The female classmates who were talking to their deskmates on both sides suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at her.
"Ophelia?"
Ophelia replied, "What?"
"Did you use the new hairdressing potion?" The female classmate came over curiously and looked at her soft, beautiful, and shiny golden hair. In the morning light, it seemed to be slightly glowing: "Your hair has become so soft, so smooth, and so... so fragrant."
Yes, a faint fragrance of unknown flowers came from Ophelia's hair.
Ophelia had beautiful long golden hair, which was scattered on her shoulders and swayed gently as she walked. When she passed by the female classmates, at first, the female classmates only smelled a pleasant flower fragrance, and soon, they also noticed the changes in her hair.
Many girls gathered around.
In addition to learning magic, young girls also attach great importance to their appearance.
"Which hairdressing potion is it?" Someone asked, "Is it from Bill's Pharmacy?"
Someone immediately retorted, "It's definitely not from Bill's Pharmacy. I bought their hairdressing potion a few days ago and it didn't have such an effect."
"Could it be..."
Everyone guessed several pharmacies in succession. The capital is very prosperous, and there is a magic academy here. Whether it is magic potions or magic props, it is the place with the most and latest technology in the whole continent.
Listening to the discussion around her, Ophelia shook her head: "I didn't use any magic potion."
"Then..."
"It's something called shampoo," she said, "I only used this."
"Shampoo? What is that?"
Another sharp-eyed girl suddenly exclaimed: "Ophelia, why is your skin so smooth?"
Everyone looked hurriedly and found that the blonde girl's cheeks were smooth and soft, as if the cold winter in the royal capital had not brought any effect to her. Unlike them, no matter how careful they were, their cheeks would be dry and flaky by the winter wind. At this time, beauty potions would become very popular.
"It's a face cream." Ophelia replied, "I used a face cream."
The girls hurriedly asked, "Which magic store can I buy the shampoo and face cream you mentioned?"
Such a magical thing must be magical!
"Haven't you seen it before?" Ophelia was stunned for a moment: "I thought you should know?"
Of course not! If we knew there was such a magical thing earlier, it would have become popular in the academy! You know, in the academy, there are many students who are from noble families like Dean, and there are even many students with higher titles than Dean. In the capital, the most abundant thing is nobles who follow the trend.
Ophelia did not hide anything and told the truth: "It's my hometown, Dore City. There is a new magic shop there that sells many new products. Shampoo and cream are the products in that magic shop. My family sent them to me."
The girls looked at each other with great interest in their eyes.
Dore City!
"I know Dore City." A classmate suddenly said, "Not long ago, a merchant from Dore City was selling a kind of food called instant noodles, which was very delicious."
"Really? Is it more delicious than Kurukuru?"
"I've bought it too." Another person said, "And hot pot base, even the most delicious restaurant in the royal capital can't make it taste like that."
"Really? What would it taste like?"
Instant noodles and hot pot base were also mentioned in her brother's letter, and they were delivered to her together in a carriage, but she hadn't had time to taste them, and they were now stored in her dormitory with other food.
Thinking of her brother's compliments in the letter and listening to the discussions around her, Ophelia tucked her long golden hair behind her ears. She smiled and took the initiative to invite them, "Among the gifts my family sent me, there are many delicious foods like instant noodles and hot pot base. Do you want to sit in the garden during the lunch break?"
She said to the girls, "When I get there, I will bring shampoo and face cream. In addition to these two, there will be many magical surprises."
The girls answered in unison, "Of course!"
