58 – The spreading reputation of Kim Cheol-soo’s cosmetics and allergy treatment!
“You can’t buy the whitening cream?”
“**Yes.**”
I heard from the maid, Miss Amy, that my whitening cream is very popular.
**’Oh.’**
I tried to help the orphanage’s finances by selling cosmetics.
It seems like the goal has been achieved!
“These days, a used whitening cream is being traded for one gold coin. I got it cheaply for 30 silver coins because I know someone.”
**”Really..?”**
I doubted Miss Amy’s words.
The price at which I sell whitening cream is 10 silver coins.
It’s definitely not a price that would soar to one gold coin!
It’s just made with rose water, lemon juice, and yogurt…
Why is whitening cream being traded at a diamond-like price!
“If you had told me, I would have just given it to you!”
“Sigh, you helped us, so why are you feeling sorry? We’ll gather money and buy whitening cream again.”
“Hmm..! Then tell me. I’ll give you a lot as a neighbor’s discount!”
“There’s a neighbor’s discount?”
“Hehe, I just made it.”
How can I charge the full price when I’m selling it to a neighbor. I should just give it for about 2 silver coins, with a big discount since it’s all sold out!
The maids giggled and bowed their heads to me again, thanking me!

The special whitening cream collaboration between Merhen Orphanage and Kims Charles went up and down in the hands of the western nobles, flowing all the way to the capital!
The confident young ladies with radiant faces appeared at the capital’s noble social club.
The young ladies who applied Kims Charles whitening cream from the west.
The young ladies who applied Kims Charles whitening cream had a radiant glow and healthy skin tone.
The young ladies who used flour cosmetics were amazed by them.
“Does your glow last long? Are you using a special cosmetic?”
“Yes, it’s Kims Charles’s whitening cream!”
Kims Charles, famous for spreading the bathing culture!
He made the cosmetics.
The young ladies who used flour cosmetics sparkled with excitement.
Kims Charles’s special whitening cream doesn’t feel powdery like flour cosmetics and the skin’s glow lasts a long time.
It feels different in the quality of the cosmetics!
“The collaboration special whitening cream of Merhen Orphanage & Kims Charles is not just that. The more you apply, the better it is for skincare. It’s good for your health.”
“…!”
Moreover, the more you apply the cosmetics, the better it is for your health!
This caused a surprising sensation in the noble social club, where the perception that cosmetics are not good for health was dominant!
“Oh, can you tell me where to get it?”
“Oh, I can’t tell just anyone about this…”
From Noble mtl dot com
“If you tell me, I’ll talk to my father and give you a nice gift!”
“Ah, if you put it that way… In fact, there’s a Merhen Beauty in the west…”
The reputation of Merhen Beauty began to spread like wildfire in the capital’s social circles!

“Hey, have you tried the special whitening cream from the Merhen Orphanage & Kim’s Charles collaboration?”
“Oh, no.”
“Hmph, you’re really behind the trend, aren’t you?”
Noble young ladies standing in line at the clinic were teasing the girl who didn’t use my whitening cream.
I wonder if my whitening cream has really become a trend.
If you don’t use whitening cream, you become a person left behind by the times!
“Hmm.”
I just wanted to help the orphanage’s finances, so I recalled the natural whitening cream recipe I saw in Korea and made it.
Did I unintentionally create a class distinction?
Those who have used the whitening cream and those who haven’t.
The noble young lady who doesn’t use whitening cream looks at those who do with envy.
It’s chaotic.
I hope my whitening cream doesn’t cause any jealousy!
“Kim Chul-soo poisoned the well! We can’t have such a thing happening…!”
“Huh? Did Kim Chul-soo really poison the well?”
“No!”
The effect of the whitening cream was just too overwhelming, ma’am!
I should write on the whitening cream container, “Don’t make others jealous like a public service campaign.”
I reflected on the side effects of trends.
I’ll talk to the Merhen Orphanage later; for now, I have to focus on treating patients.
Thanks to Mr. Matthew, my working days have been reduced, but Kim Chul-soo’s treatment team is always busy.
The more patients I treat today, the easier tomorrow will be!
“The next patient, please!”
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Kim’s Charles. My eyes are itchy…”
A middle-aged male patient came in rubbing his eyes.
As expected in spring, the patient was complaining about pollen allergies.
I brightened up.
There are many people at Viscount Roland’s estate who suffer from pollen allergies, so I recently developed an appropriate treatment!
“This is a vinegar solution. Have it with your meal. Take a spoonful with a bite of bread.”
Vinegar is a food that relieves discomfort related to allergies and has anti-inflammatory and natural antihistamine effects.
By the way, pollen allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction to pollen.
Antihistamines are medications that calm this hypersensitivity reaction by saying, “Hey, body! Calm down!” after the body overreacts.
After I developed this, the incidence of pollen allergies at Viscount Roland’s estate noticeably decreased!
“This is really effective.”
Miss Catherine was impressed too.
Miss Catherine, who used to sneeze a lot in Lady Helen’s flower garden, no longer sneezes after having the vinegar solution.
Vinegar solution is very effective for pollen allergies!
“Hmm.. Is that so? Then, why don’t you give it a try.”
“Yes, and please wash your hands and face with water!”
“Understood.”
A refreshing, satisfied patient.
I handed the patient a container filled with vinegar water!
It wasn’t just vinegar water, but a mixture of vinegar, honey, and water.
It should be easier to drink.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome~ Please make sure to follow what I told you. Now, next patient.”
“Ugh, my nose is itchy…”
An allergy patient left, and another allergy patient arrived.
“Drink some vinegar water.”
I handed out vinegar water to all the allergy patients that day!
I had prepared a large pot of vinegar water specifically for the allergy patients.
There was no shortage of vinegar water!
“Hehe, my second creation after Kim Chul-soo’s special patch!”
My second developed medication!
An allergy treatment, vinegar water.
Now, along with painkillers and antihistamines, I had a variety of medications in my arsenal.
I could treat patients with pain or allergies!
As the number of patients I could handle increased?
I felt proud of my growth and development, but also a strange sense of burden.
As time passed and the end of the workday approached.
“I’m exhausted.”
As soon as the consultations were over, I rushed to my room in Roland Viscount’s mansion and collapsed on the bed.
I’m tired.
The clinic work was so busy that my body felt worn out.
I should rest deeply even on holidays…
“Come to think of it, when was the last time I rested properly.”
These days, I either go to the temple, visit the Merhen Orphanage, help with cosmetics production, or train in sacred magic during my spare time.
Avoiding Viscount Roland’s mountain climbing quests.
I can’t recall the last time I truly rested.
“Why…?”
I, Kim Chul-soo, must have yearned for a carefree life.
Earning money without doing anything, wanting to comfortably pass the time.
But somehow, the longer I spent with Viscount Roland, the less I felt at ease.
“Kim~ Chul~ Soo~”
Catherine, who had just finished showering, appeared in my room with a fresh and fluffy look.
She skillfully sat on my bed.
The fragrant scent of Miss Catherine’s soap tickled my nose, but I was too exhausted to think of anything else.
“You’ve worked hard today~”
“I… have… indeed…”
“Why do you look like a corpse?”
“Well, I suddenly wondered when I would ever take a break.”
“You are resting now.”
“That’s not enough!”
I expressed my opinion to Miss Catherine.
A brief rest now couldn’t satisfy me.
“I, Kim Cheolsu, want to lie in bed all day doing nothing!”
“Isn’t that too lazy, Kim Cheolsu?”
“That’s the best!”
Kim Cheolsu, an internet addict who spent over 10 hours a day on his phone without moving a muscle while in Korea.
For someone like Kim Cheolsu, spending 24 hours in bed on holidays was just a natural thing!
“Hmm… I see that Kim Cheolsu is very tired.”
Miss Catherine chuckled and lay down beside me.
Her damp sky-blue hair stuck to my neck and cheeks, making me itch!
“Ah! Miss?”
“Hehe, just stay still for a moment.”
I felt two thin fingers on my back.
Miss Catherine had placed two thumbs on my back!
“I’ll give you a massage.”
“A m-massage?”
“Yes. My mother sometimes did it to my father.”
A massage…
A massage helps relax tense muscles and improve blood circulation.
I remember getting a full-body massage from a sports masseuse in Korea, and the feeling of relaxation was no joke.
I really slept well that day.
Miss Catherine might not be a professional masseuse.
Still, just her touching my back and waist would feel quite nice.
“Um… can I ask for a favor then?”
“Sure~”
Giggling, Miss Catherine began pressing her fingers into my back.
The pressure from Miss Catherine’s fingers was surprisingly good, and my body relaxed.
“Oh… feels so good~”
I found myself muttering involuntarily!
Miss Catherine chuckled softly.
“Chuckling. Kim Cheolsu, you’re like an old man.”
“Oh… uh, well, at 30 years old, being called an old man is somewhat accurate…”
“If you’re 30, you’re still young~”
“Is that so?”
I’m not sure what the standard of this era is, but it feels good to hear young people’s words!
If it weren’t for the many older ladies, I wouldn’t have heard young people’s words.
It’s as if Miss Catherine knows how to match my mood.
“Feeling good?”
“Yes.”
Guk, guk, Catherine’s fingers pressing my back just right.
Did Miss Catherine learn how to give a proper massage?
My tense back loosens up like jelly…
“Ah… A massage is really the best way to relieve fatigue.”
As I receive a massage from Miss Catherine, I dive into the depths of sleep with a splash!
The best… Miss Catherine’s massage.
