The history of soap is very old.

    But just because it has a long history doesn’t mean it’s easy to make.

    Mass production of soap was absolutely insufficient before the invention of caustic soda. That is why the alchemist Helen Wagner, whom we meet today, was a very valuable person.

    Because he was a man who knew how to make caustic soda.

    Its importance goes without saying.

    Helen Wagner, an alchemist who lives alone in a neat two-story house in a shabby residential area.

    As you can see from the surname, she was a noblewoman. I don’t know why she, who was known as a genius and an eccentric, was in a local fiefdom instead of the capital, but it was a good thing for me.

    There was no need to go all the way to get her.

    “Huh? Let’s have a cup of tea here.”

    Thanks to the letter I sent through Ertia a few days ago, she was more than happy to let us into her house and even give us a ride in her car.

    “Do you want a recipe for caustic soda?”

    “Yes, we definitely need the caustic soda that Helen Youngae made.”

    Ertia, who speaks for me.

    I thought I knew why Wellington kept trying to marry her off to other families instead of making her his successor.

    There was no need to reveal to us that we absolutely needed caustic soda, but I blurted out something I didn’t need to say, either out of a slip of the tongue or out of thought.

    “Ah~ I really need it. Hehe! Since Ertia-san said she wanted it so badly… I don’t want to give it to her?”

    Helen glares at me like a beast hunting for prey.

    Behind her stood a muscular female mercenary holding a sword, whom she had hired as her escort.

    “But if you meet some conditions, it might be possible.”

    “Thank you!”

    I had to grab hold of Ertia’s armor and stop her as she stood up and tried to salute with a loud voice.

    “… The attendant is rude. Judging from the shabby clothes he is wearing, he must be just a servant, but he is touching his master’s body without permission. Should I teach him a lesson?”

    “Ah, no. That, that… This, this… ”

    Ertia, who saw Helen’s frowning expression at my actions, turned pale and began to stutter.

    A flustered look on my face, not knowing how to introduce myself.

    “Pfft-! Puhahahaha!!”

    Helen burst out laughing at that sight.

    “Ahahahaha… That’s funny. Well, there must be a reason why they have to hide their identity. They must be a noble or royalty from another country. Seeing Ertia panic like that.”

    Helen Wagner smiles with satisfaction, as if she has finally figured out the answer.

    Sorry, but I am not a noble or royalty of any other country. Well, I guess it’s best to leave her misunderstanding.

    “It’s not you who needs caustic soda, but that guy?”

    Helen starts pointing her fingers at Ertia and me alternately, as if to say that she will no longer be pretentious.

    There is no change in Ertia’s face at that action. In other words, the young lady of the Wagner family is in a position where she can treat the young lady of the Baron as she pleases, just like Ertia.

    I guess he figured he was hiding his identity so he wouldn’t get caught for this later.

    “If you sell us the recipe for caustic soda, we will pay you this much… .”

    It’s funny enough that there is something called copyright in this world. It is said that the recipe for a healing potion made in a territory previously managed by a dragon was stolen by someone and made here and there, which led to a fight between dragons.

    Well, if there is such a thing as copyright, it is actually good. If we just have the copyright to the first registered method of making caustic soda, we can extract as much royalties as we want.

    “There are a lot.”

    Helen, who saw the amount Erti had offered, spoke with a blank face.

    It’s certainly a lot of money, but Ertia has already told us that we absolutely need caustic soda.

    Given the circumstances, this amount would seem small to Helen.

    “I thought I made useless trash, but when I see that it’s absolutely necessary, I guess it has a use. When I think about it, it seems like too little.”

    “That, that’s… ”

    Oh! Don’t look at me!

    Ertia, unable to decide anything on her own, kept looking at me from the corner of her eye, sweating coldly.

    “It won’t end if we talk to Ertia. Let’s have the person in charge talk to him/her.”

    “… Okay.”

    “Before that, I want to know who you are. There’s nothing more stupid than signing a contract with someone you don’t know.”

    “I am Alpha, currently the breeder of the Viken Territory and the head of the Black Death and Pregnancy Countermeasures Headquarters.”

    “Breeder… ?”

    Helen tilted her head for a moment as if she was puzzled, then glared at me with a scary expression.

    “You’re that guy? A slave summoned by the breeder, but you’re arrogantly sitting in a high position? And you’re acting like you’re Ertia’s superior?”

    “I am the head of the department, so when I am working, I am the superior.”

    “Ha… Hahahaha!! The Bikken Territory is now in its heyday? They still keep such an insolent breeder alive.”

    There were two attempts to kill me, but both failed.

    Helen grabbed me by the collar, as if she hadn’t heard this fact. I’m a little angry.

    “Listen carefully. I guess old Wellington has grown too lazy to deal with scum like you… If you keep acting so arrogantly in front of the nobles, you’ll die. You better listen. If you’re going to be a breeder, act like a breeder and just act like livestock.”

    “… So how are you going to make the contract?”

    “Contract? Huh…! What could be so great about the work of a breeder who is worse than a commoner? Tsk. I thought I could at least get more money, but it was a total waste. ”

    Helen let go of my hand that was grabbing my collar and sat back down on her chair, waving her hand fan.

    “Ah~! Annoying! There’s a condition.”

    condition?

    What is this bitch saying? I’ve already given her a lot of concessions just by looking at you grabbing my collar, and now she’s asking for a condition.

    “Lick. Then I’ll make a contract and won’t tell Alex Oppa about what happened today. You know that, right? Alex Viken, the top-level sword expert knight. The reason why this small territory hasn’t been taken over by another noble is thanks to the sword master, the knight commander, and Alex Oppa, the top-level expert.”

    Helen proudly puts her foot on the table with the tea on it and confidently points with her finger.

    “Hey. Where are you looking? Another sin added~?”

    Helen laughed at me as I lifted my legs while wearing a short skirt, showing off my panties.

    -Name: Helen

    – Traits: Swordsmanship LV2, Exploration LV9, Dance LV4, Administration LV12, Alchemy LV27, Magic LV5, Mana LV12, Mana Management, LV6

    It was my fault for trying to treat her as a scholar rather than a female, even if only a little, given her outstanding alchemical abilities.

    It’s true that females need female-like education.

    I just overturned the table.

    Unlike Yeongju Castle, there was no one here I had to worry about.

    *

    Helen Wagner.

    She was a genius and an eccentric.

    Although she is not a noble of the land, she is the genius daughter of the Count Wagner family, who have served as ministers at the king’s side for generations.

    Although she was not an administrative official, she had achieved great success in alchemy and had established herself in the Viken Territory, which was unusual.

    Although she had a genius for alchemy, she was unable to become the head of the family because her talent as an administrative official in the Wagner family was mediocre.

    Her inferiority complex was expressed in other ways.

    This was done by somehow making the nobles who came to buy the numerous medicines he had created suffer.

    In that sense, the Bikken Territory was perfect.

    Kerens Territory and Viken Territory are naturally not on good terms because their neighboring dragons do not get along well.

    The road is not properly paved due to frequent land wars, so the road is rough.

    Moreover, the residential area where she lives in this small house is full of all kinds of filth, unlike the areas where nobles live.

    Helen consoled her inferiority complex by seeing noblemen who were older or of higher rank than her come to her after going through all these hardships and begging for mercy.

    It should have been the same today.

    At first, Helen thought that Ertia’s letter asking to buy a useless item called caustic soda was just a desperate attempt by the Viken Territory to win her favor.

    That’s why I thought it would be a boring job.

    But I realized it when I saw Ertia’s expression and eyes.

    I’m talking about the fact that you’re being overly cautious of a man with shabby clothes and an unusual appearance. He must be a high-ranking nobleman.

    Helen felt a thrill at the fact that Ertia, who was so nervous and cautious that he kept hiding his identity, had gone to such great lengths to meet her, even though she didn’t know what he was going to do with the caustic soda.

    But that was only for a moment, and when he heard that he was a breeder and the head of a ridiculous department called the Black Death and Pregnancy Countermeasures Headquarters, he became angry.

    But that was only for a moment.

    Helen, having calmed down a bit, put her legs up on the table and insulted the other person.

    “Lick. Then I’ll make a contract and won’t tell Alex Oppa about what happened today. You know that, right? Alex Viken, the top-level sword expert knight. The reason why this small territory hasn’t been taken over by another noble is thanks to the sword master, the knight commander, and Alex Oppa, the top-level expert.”

    It’s a lie to say you won’t tell Alex.

    I heard that the current Viken Territory is currently under the control of Melania, who has been summoning beings from another world. If she were to punish them herself, Melania the Dragon might become angry.

    So for now, let’s just give him this slight insult and write a letter to Alex about it.

    Well, then that guy will soon realize who he’s fooled… Yeah, that’s what he should have done…

    “Ohhh-❤︎❤︎ Hehe… I’m so happy-! I’m so happy!!”

    “Who would dare to fight with a knife on a female subject?”

    “Ahh❤︎❤︎ Sorryaaah… !!”

    Why did she have to see the expert intermediate-level bodyguard, who had been her escort, get her pussy eaten so mercilessly right in front of her while completely naked?
