Even with the inner side of the cloak made from a transparent material, you still can’t see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems you need light inside to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought it was transparency because you could see through to the other side, but maybe it’s actually high-level camouflage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic is quite amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, if you can’t completely cover yourself, the invisibility cloak’s effectiveness is halved, isn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Well, we could improve that if we wanted to, but… it’s safer like this to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, an invisibility cloak could be misused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we were to mass-produce it, we’d need to keep strict control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would there even be demand for a mass-produced version?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To use an invisibility cloak effectively, you’d have to expose your head or eye area. Wouldn’t that make you more noticeable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It depends on how you use it.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe at a party, with only your head showing, like a floating head effect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「That might be amusing, but that’s not what I mean. For example, in a battle, even a regular cloak can hide body movements, but with an invisibility cloak, even the cloak’s movements are hidden.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it can hide everything except your head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Exactly. Plus, you can hide any weapon until the last moment.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「And this fluid seems to suppress scent, too. If you wrap yourself in it, you’ll be harder for dogs or other trackers to trace.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked one of kuros nearby, and sure enough, it said the scent weakens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I’ll prepare a few of these invisibility cloaks and have Ria and the others test them.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We could use them for hunting in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also learned a bit more about the chameleon-like monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its species name is Mereokan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both males and females grow up to about five meters long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ambush prey by turning invisible and waiting patiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though troublesome, their fluid was once highly sought after and led to their near-extinction due to overhunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess invisibility is quite useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「That’s not the only reason—their fluid has beauty benefits.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loo explained further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「As I said, this fluid suppresses scent. I don’t need it, of course, since I don’t smell.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Y-yeah, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「When mixed with this lotion, it removes spots. Not that I have any spots.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「When mixed with this powder, it adds firmness to the skin. My skin is firm enough without it, though.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Just adding a few drops to bathwater reduces body hair visibility. Not that I have any.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Best not to say anything about beauty products to women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Hold on.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was stopped with a hand on my shoulder, my retreat thwarted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「So, how much of this fluid can we harvest daily?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I don’t think it’s fair for Village Four to have an exclusive supply.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Y-yeah, true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monopolizing it isn’t good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll talk with the chameleon-like monster and figure out a sustainable harvesting rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「As soon as possible.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>O-okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「And by the way…」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「That monster might have been driven to near-extinction, but there are some still alive.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Yes. Royals and wealthy individuals have them.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Royals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wealthy people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「For the beauty benefits.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the Goroun Company can get us a wife for the chameleon-like monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps they’re already raising one at the Goroun Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard that Michael-san was visiting the Village Five, so I went to see him and asked if he could help find a wife for the chameleon-like monster, the Mereokan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Unfortunately, the Goroun Company does not handle Mereokan. However, I know someone who does.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could negotiations be possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It might be faster if it came from the village chief instead of me.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The one raising them is Count Chrome’s wife—Shirukine-sama.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beezel’s wife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Frau’s mother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Yes. She should have several of them. Shirukine-sama’s company also sells products using Mereokan body fluid.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see, that’s good to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should have just asked Frau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Indeed. My apologies for not being of more help.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, no, the information alone is helpful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Not at all. By the way… regarding the sale of Mereokan fluid if their numbers increase…」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry, but that would depend on negotiations with Shirukine-san.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she’s already using Mereokan fluid commercially, it’s unlikely she’d part with any.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we’re lucky enough for her to agree to a transfer, she might impose restrictions, such as prohibiting commercialization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I see…」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wouldn’t mind if Michael-san could help negotiate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Hahaha. Negotiating with them is beyond my capabilities.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of Goroun Company, unable to negotiate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Let’s just say it’s a different field. We also deal in beauty products, but they’re considered the pinnacle of the industry.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I try to grasp the concept of ‘beauty over wealth’, but it seems I only understand it on the surface. Not truly understanding it has caused them to decline negotiations.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a man, I can understand why the pursuit of beauty is challenging to grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about sending a female employee who understands beauty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「We have few capable enough to negotiate with the Countess’ company. Even going as a customer would be difficult.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Areh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they not available to the public?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The prices are astronomical; they’re essentially exclusive to nobility.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Got it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though if money’s all it takes to resolve things…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Even so, she only deals with those who catch her fancy.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, money isn’t the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Moreover, the beauty products from that company are also critical diplomatic gifts for Count Chrome’s faction.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sounds like a tough negotiation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, I’ll talk with Beezel and Frau and see if they can help arrange a meeting with Shirukine-san.\u003C\u002Fp>",1004,"2026-06-05T23:08:36.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","00ffa2e50780d9a386c64695dfb970cc118d0847e9db641318a774d68112bf40","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-879","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-877",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
