Parallel World Pharmacy

Volume 2 - Ch 3

Hmm? You apply it with this first?

In front of the mirror, she picked up the cream that very much interested her.

Yes, apply it to your face lightly and thoroughly. Next is this. Its ok if you just dab the powder. Just make sure to completely cover it.

She applied the powder earnestly on her skin, that was coarse like an egg.

Your skin texture rejuvenated like a 5-year-old!

By the way, Falma, from now on, if there art any new products of Medique, thou shalt come and present it to me.

While she was dabbing her face with loose powder, using the highest quality makeup brush, the Emperor of San Fleuve, Elizabeth II, informed and reminded him.

Hahaaaa!

Ah, for a 24 years old woman who can use the strongest Divine Art in the empire. The Empress, is certainly sensitive to fashion trends.

Falma understood. So he worked out some praise.

Your Majesty, your skin is already very beautiful. I think that the whitening face powder is unnecessary.

Hahaha, thou praises made us uncomfortable.

The Empress seemed to be in a good mood while looking up, she held a high-quality folding fan encrusted with jewels covering the lower half of her face.

It is a Royal Chartered shop with an investment from the Empire. Is it not only prudent for the invention to be presented to Her Majesty first?

Eh!?

That was the interaction between Falma and his father. So, he went to the Empress in a panic to pay his dues. Considering the big picture, the rare and trendy 2nd cosmetic brand store should be presented to the Empress before opening. The young page beside the Empress, Noah, moved his mouth spelling out Idiot. The Empress was gently stroking her cheeks cheerfully, she couldnt take her eyes away from the mirror.

Hmm This is so wonderful! We should go to the next royal ball just like this. We will be more distinguished among the women.

Falma was apologetic because all the women had bought the product too, so there wont be that much of a difference. He appreciated that he was permitted to do the presentation this late, because of this, he presented some more beauty products to the Empress, though she was already very beautiful to begin with. Furthermore, the ingredients were safe as well.

This is our newest product. The medical lip gloss is gentle to the lips. Your Majesty, you will be the first to try this one.

Ooh, This one is sparkling.

It was a new medical lip gloss that was jointly developed by the Apothecaries of Cosmetic Brand Medique, and was based on Falmas original idea. The natural color shined like a pearl. It was different from the flat red paste.

Hmm, this is good.

It seemed she liked it.

Your Majesty, thank you for restricting the use of lead, mercury and other toxic substances in products that are applied on the human body.

When the presentation was over, Falma expressed his gratitude over the proclamation of this reform edict. Falma had made a list of chemicals that should be prohibited immediately, and reported it to his father. The authority of the Empress was the same as before. Ever since the divine power meter incident, as well as the pharmaceutical knowledge Falma had shown, both the Empress and Bruno began to slightly suspect that Falma was possessed by some supernatural existence beyond human intelligence. Thus they could not disregard Falmas words anymore. Incidentally, the Empress, and even Bruno have not noticed that Falma didnt have a shadow.

We were surprised that those were harmful. For mercury and even lead, there are already numerous medicines that contain these ingredients available commercially.

It is as you said, your Majesty.

We will have everything that was used by the female attendants in the imperial court disposed of.

That sounds good.

That was what Falma advised. Within the imperial court, not only the female attendants but also the infants had been smeared with makeup that was toxic. Thinking about their safety, they should prohibit it immediately.

On the other hand, thou shop of cosmetic brand, Medique, seems to be promising.
