After the delivery boys had left, the words that they had said etched on my head and I was suddenly stumped by it. I buried my hands over my head and was deep in thought while the children stopped what they were doing and looked at me.


    "Mummy, is Daddy alright? Is he in some sort of trouble or have some problems?" Adam asked ''Mummy Patricia'' as he looked at me and then looked back at the latter''s face, expecting an answer.


    "Mummy doesn''t know... Maybe Daddy has some thoughts on his mind and has to take time to think of it." ''Mummy Patricia'' replied as she looked at me with a worrisome look.


    It had been slightly over a week since I had woken up from my deep sleep and I do not have the time to do some market research. Furthermore, I was planning not of earning credits and become rich but the main thing is to uplift everyone''s wellbeing here in Ingmery.


    The only research that I had made was that Ingmery does not have a beauty shop and this was it''s first. I won''t know about the other towns nearby since I had only been out to the goblins camp and to NoOne''s pathetic campsite.


    "Mummy... Daddy doesn''t seem alright. Look, his face is turning green already. Is he going to throw up?" Ingles mentioned when she noticed my face turning pale and not green.


    "Mummy... I''m scared. Is Daddy turning into a goblin or a troll? Green is their skin colour right?"


    "Yeah, me too. I think Daddy is turning to one of the Avengers, the Hull for sure. See his popping muscles on his arms? Baaaahhh... I don''t want to die...!!! Kayla bawled when she noticed not my muscles popping but I alternatively flex it when I had buried my head in my hands. Its a rhythmic flex from left and right.


    GREEN... ??!!?? Am I turning into a frog or something? These children do sure have a wild imagination.


    I checked myself that I had only interacted with 5 women here in this town. Rebecca, Joan and the matron plus the infirmary head and her aide. I raised my head and wiped my face with my hands and sighed.


    "Daddy is alright... I''m not turning into a goblin or any kind of monster that ran wild in your imagination. Furthermore, I''m not even turning into a hulk... That green thing is from the reflection that bounces from the sunroof above your heads... See, lookup... That''s why this Beauty World does not operate after hours and do not require any lighting at all."


    "Mummy, take care of these children first and carry on with your work. I would take this 5 bottles with me and I would be doing the first marketing. I would be meeting Rebecca, Joan, matron, the infirmary head and her aide. These are the 5 women I have interacted and they would be the first 5 to try this product." I explained as I slipped the 5 porcelain bottles into my storage bag.


    "Hmm mmm..." Patricia nodded as she turned her attention towards her work and organises the ones that the children had prepared into an empty crate on top of a portable cart.


    I excused myself and exit Beauty World and heads down to the main street where I will meet with the matron first.


    .......


    "Ah, good day Mister Audemars, I hope the children are not giving you too many problems on their first day with you?" she asked as she removed her glasses and peered at me from behind the table.


    "Oh, everything is fine. I''m here because I wanted to find out what do you think of this product of ours. Its called ''Head To Toe'' Shampoo. This is used during baths and all you need to do is to pour a dollop of it after you had wet your hair and body and give this a good rundown."


    "You may use a loofah to put the dollop if this shampoo and scrub your body with this. Here, take a look at this and tell me how much you would pay for this. A bottle like this would be good for at least 10 uses." I presented the porcelain bottle of shampoo with a strand of lavender neatly tied around it.


    "Take a whiff and let me know what do you think of it." I offered her as she looked at the intricate design of the porcelain bottle and was delighted at the product display. She removed the stopper and took a whiff and her eyes widened immediately as it was as if she had never smelled such great scent before.


    "My goodness, Mister Audemars... Is this the product that you had mentioned before? The porcelain bottle is very nice and is used as a collection piece, this is a fine product. The scent of the so-called ''Head To Toe'' Shampoo is very intriguing. It smells very nice indeed and it felt like it fits for royalty indeed."


    "Just by the smell alone is really Heavenly. I can''t wait to get into a shower after this. You asked me how much I would pay for this and it is good for 10 uses? 60 credits... That''s what I''m willing to pay for this." she explained and her face had a rosy hue after she took a deep whiff from it.


    "I felt like my spirits were uplifted after I had smelled this. This is really wonderful...!!!" she said as she took out 60 credits and made a trade with me and I accepted it.


    "Good God... And I was dying to see how much this product would do in the market right now. 60 credits it is then. Thank you so much for your kind patronage, ma''am."


    "I really appreciate it and I do hope you could spread the word among your friends and peers about this product and tell them to head to the Beauty World aka The White House to directly purchase from us." I finally said with a beaming smile on my face and it took away my worrisome look immediately.


    "Don''t you worry about it Mister Audemars. I have a circle of peers which I could send a tweet and they would definitely come over and get it. Feeling clean and smelling great is one woman''s desire you know. You really know how to strike a chord with the ladies. This is the product that you mentioned before, right? "


    "Yes, it is. In Oddfish we have about 10 to 15 towns nearby within a range of 10 kilometres and we had distributed it all around regularly. This is for the ladies and we have a citrus scent for the men."


    "Oh, when you mentioned about Oddfish, it''s true I cannot find the location and also the existence of it anymore. Truly sad, am I right Mister Audemars? Your little town had indeed perished from the face of this earth."


    "Oddfish my ass. It is a made-up town''s name. I can''t be telling that I had made this in Kitakata, Fukushima, Japan in the year 1860 right? Presently I can''t be bothered to find out which year I was in but from the looks of it, it must be in the early 10th century or earlier." I thought to myself as I smiled with a crooked look on my face.


    "Oh, all right Ma''am, I would take my leave and meet with the head infirmary, Rebecca and Joan," I said as I excused myself and heads towards the exit.


    "Good luck, Mister Audemars and good luck to the best of your endeavours." the matron bade me off as I walked out and into the sunshine. 60 credits and the matron doesn''t even bat an eyelid.


    I head down to the infirmary and explained the product and the infirmary head and her aide paid up 60 credits each without even a single cringe on their faces. One thing is that the product design itself was exquisite and they knew such porcelain bottles would almost cost 50 credits each...!


    Soon I met Rebecca who was always idling around the street in front of her house and I talked to her and explained the same thing I had done with the matron and the infirmary head. She soon paid the sum after she had inspected it as I mentioned that this is specially formulated for the ladies. She too paid 60 credits even though she did mention before that the two hoodlums that I defeated before were going after her wealth.


    Lastly, I met Joan and before I entered, I made sure she does not have that steampunk goggles and her heavy apron and dishwashing gloves on. Luckily she was wearing any of those and was tinkering with the health generation and mana generation potion.


    I knocked and entered and when she saw me she shrieked in her shrill voice, "Ah... Just what I need and was looking for when the devil comes knocking at my door already...!!!"


    "Huh? You are looking for me, Joan?" I asked since I don''t have the faintest idea of what she was looking for me at all. I looked around suspiciously and anxiously at what she might have in mind but I didn''t have any clue whatsoever as she trudged on and advances towards me with a test-tube in her hand.
