39.
Madame Rochette’s 【Salon Rochette】.
“Sigh, what am I supposed to do when I wrote that it was boring because it was boring.”
Madame Rochette dropped the ‘complaint letter’ from the Tillard Family onto her desk with a thud.
To put it nicely, it was a complaint, and it meant that if this happened again, the Five Great Families would act together…
Although Madam was a branch member of House Boliver, there were limits to the protection she could receive.
She had no choice but to keep quiet for a while.
‘There’s no one who can surpass Iris Tillard in the first place.’
So this article was just a passing matter.
“…Isn’t there anything new.”
But then, Madame Rochette’s assistant shouted.
“Madame Rochette. This kind of box came in today.”
“What is it.”
“There’s no explanation at all. Just, like this, it says product introduction…”
“Sigh.”
There are people who do this sometimes.
Trying to catch some attention among countless sponsored products with petty tricks…
But even Madam couldn’t help but hesitate when she actually saw the box.
The small purple box was neatly tied with a white ribbon.
As soon as she untied the ribbon and opened the lid, her mood subtly improved.
‘Did they lightly scent the wrapping paper too?’
It was a very clear and elegant fragrance.
Inside was a pair of beautifully polished silver earrings.
The silver petals were lustrous, and the purple control stone embedded in the center glowed softly.
Moreover, the butterfly charm hanging from the end of the ultra-thin chain was three-dimensional, shimmering every time it swayed.
But…
All the people gathered closely around Madame Rochette were confused.
“The left and right shapes are different?”
“They’re mismatched?”
“Did they come by mistake?”
In Perniers, when it came to earrings, both sides absolutely had to be the same design.
At most, they might be different like mirror images on both sides.
However, Madam held up the explanation card and let out a hollow laugh.
It was the kind of laugh that comes out when seeing something so absurdly delicious or pretty.
[Silver Spring]
[Target: Ability Users]
[-This product is for people whose ability side effects show on their skin.]
“One side has a flower motif, the other has a butterfly motif. On purpose.”
“…!”
How had they never thought of this even once?
“They call them unbalanced earrings.”
Not only was the concept novel, but the design was sophisticated too.
“Run a safety test on this!”
When writing articles about artifacts, testing equipment was also prepared.
A little later, an employee holding the earring case came running hurriedly.
“They meet all the Imperial Palace standards?”
“How much?”
“It shows that everyone from at least C-rank to A-rank ability users can wear them!”
“…!”
Madam’s mouth slowly fell open.
With this kind of sense, plus an artifact that all three major grade levels can use?
‘This is real talent.’
Madam shouted to her subordinates.
“We’re the only ones who received this, right!?”
“Ah, I’ll find out!”
“Check if those other bastards got it first! Go out right now and check!”
“Yes!”
At Madam’s command, her subordinates rushed out of the office in a hurry.
“Who on earth made this.”
Madam turned over the back of the explanation card.
【Mariposa】
Cutely, there was only one word.
* * *
A self-employed person must know how to do everything alone.
Store cleaning, market research, purchasing materials, organizing, making, packaging, shipping, customer service, holding one-day classes, occasionally kicking out troublemakers who come asking for money, etc…
Sigh…
As soon as she remembered, Lillian’s precious blood pressure was briefly threatened.
‘I have to do all the product promotion by myself too.’
She had no idea how she lived so diligently in her previous life.
Why didn’t she know that self-employment was called hell?
Well, there was no one to stop her previous life’s self, so she didn’t know.
Anyway, Lillian decided to use what she had learned from those days.
‘In this place, when it comes to promotion, they still think explaining everything one by one is the right answer.’
Have someone popular in the salon wear it, and the surrounding nobles compete to ask about it.
‘That’s good too. But then it’s too limited, isn’t it?’
What’s the point if only people in the capital know about it?
Lillian didn’t want that.
If she was going to shake up the Tillard Family anyway, she hoped more people would know about it all at once.
If it needs to spread quickly, newspapers are the answer after all.
‘So I did send them to various places…’
Still, Lillian set her standards low.
‘It’ll be fine if even one place takes the bait.’
Honestly speaking, she hoped Madame Rochette would come over…
It would be great if it gets featured in ‘Salon Rochette’!
‘It’s the most authoritative magazine that everyone in the Empire reads!’
She knew it was greedy to hope for a huge hit on the first try.
But humans want to dream.
Lillian’s heart was divided between humility and desire, waging a fierce battle.
After much back and forth, humility won.
Lillian, life’s happiness is something you feel more easily when you set your standards low…
‘It would be a good start if even one article could scratch Iris and the Tillard Family.’
She had barely made up her mind when…
People gathered in Lillian’s room were busily coming and going, absorbed in cutting with scissors.
“Here, here! Another article here!”
“Where should I attach this cut-out illustration?”
“Over here!”
Marguerite and Jeanne were commanding this manual work.
The people who joined included some shadows mixed in.
They were willingly wasting their martial arts skills on neat scrapbooking activities…
Lillian was a bit bewildered by this scene of talent waste.
“Uh… Uhh…”
And I was a bit flustered by the number of articles that came out and the firepower of their headlines.
Among them, the most bewildering was 【Salon Rochette】.
“Miss! This is really amazing…!”
Marguerite showed me the framed displays where she had neatly mounted and dried the articles, exclaiming in admiration.
“50 articles! A whole 50 articles came out!”
“Uh…”
“Should I transcribe the articles from Salon Rochette in larger text and make them into wall decorations?”
“Uhh…”
“Yes, understood. I’ll place an order with a craftsman for that!”
I felt dizzy.
Unlike my ‘previous life’ where substandard media was rampant.
Perniers was still in an era where trust in print media was tremendous.
On the first try, and with articles plastered with nothing but praise without a single bad review, this was an incredible achievement…
But wait.
“Marguerite, this is strange.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I never distributed to 50 places.”
“Pardon?”
“What I made with the materials I had and gave out as seeding… I mean, as gifts, was only to six places.”
Considering the cost and time, it was an unavoidable number.
Since everything was handmade.
Then where did the remaining 46 articles come from?
* * *
The six places that first received the ‘seeding products,’ including Madame Rochette, were actually quite wary.
‘It looks like Madame Rochette received some too?’
‘We absolutely must break the exclusive story first!’
‘Did only we receive it? That must be it, right?’
But because they were overly enthusiastic, it became obvious.
Other competitors snooping around to see if they had received ‘items from an unknown sender’?
It looked perfectly suspicious.
“What’s this? What on earth is going on that their newcomer is snooping around?”
Also, in any era, in any place…
Newcomers were beings who obviously showed their inexperience.
The places that figured out what this situation was about rushed to prepare to copy the articles.
