Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 219

 In the world, there are certain conditions for being considered a beautiful woman beyond simply having a good face.

This is especially true for the upper echelons of society, such as royalty and nobility.

First, having long hair is essential.

It's not just about growing it out; it must be neatly trimmed at the waist when let down. This signifies the effort involved in growing it and having someone to take care of it.

Next is the body shape.

Slim, toned arms and legs, a full chest, and a defined waist. Regardless of chest size, being overweight is unacceptable. In a land where fighting monsters is a daily occurrence, nobles who should lead the charge can't afford to be obese.

As for the face, clear and balanced features are necessary. This is a natural trait and not overly strict. Whether it's gentle or sharp is a matter of preference. Seriana is on the sharper side...

In any case, there's a tendency to value daily effort and continuity over innate traits, such as growing and maintaining hair even if it's a hassle, or exercising to stay in shape despite the temptations of gourmet food in a stable territory.

“How about it, Seria? Can it be done in one day? Please give your candid opinion.”

A butler from some house looks at me pleadingly, while Oriana, who can't hide her slight amazement, watches.

Apparently, this man's master needs to appear in public soon.

It's probably a woman, but it seems she's grown a bit too much. The fattest person I've dealt with so far was the wife of the Feld family in my first job, but it seems this woman is even fatter, and there's not enough time if we go about it normally.

“It's impossible,” I said firmly.

“Wha⁉ Bu-but I've heard that you can finish one part in an hour! Isn't it possible if you work all day⁉”

He's really desperate, probably at his wits' end.

“Well, if you look at it just in terms of time, maybe... But it's also very burdensome, and it might fail, so I can't do it!”

I still refused.

“Quite. Did you hear that? Even if it were the king himself, this girl would refuse if it's unreasonable. Convey that to your master.”

He brought up the king... Is his master really at that level?

“Now, show the guest out. Escort him.”

Though he looked like he wanted to say something, Oriana curtly dismissed him. He must have realized he was asking the impossible. He bowed his head and quietly left the room.

“Hey,”

“What is it?”

“I could do it if I wanted to; I'm just not doing it because it's a hassle, you know?”

That's right.

When I first got the Blessing of Mira, I didn't know how to control or use it well, so I limited it to one hour a day. But after training in the capital and Lothal, I can now activate it over a wide area for several hours using various methods like sitting on my knees or piggybacking. With a bit of effort, I could achieve some results in one day.

I mentioned this during a talk in Lothal with the old man. Even so, I didn't bring it up now, so I went along with it...

I don't know who this person is, but they seem pretty important. Is it really okay?

“It’s fine. I won’t stop you if you really want to do it, but if not, there’s no need to go that far. If they had made a request in advance, there would be no need to rush. They should maintain moderation regularly anyway.”

“Well, that's true.”

I haven't heard any recent stories about foreign nobility coming to the capital; they've probably been here for a while. Despite that, this last-minute panic...

I don't know the details or the circumstances, but it feels like they are kids rushing to finish their summer homework on the last day.

They probably don’t get along well with Oriana, who is generally magnanimous but thorough at her core.

“This incident will serve as good publicity that you won’t tolerate unreasonable demands.”

Oriana seemed unusually harsh... Maybe she didn’t like them?
