The Incompetent Prince Who Has Been Banished Wants To Hide His Abilities - CH 18

One day.

At the lord’s mansion.

Sabrina Echigoya (the beautiful man), a former goblin merchant arrived.

“Noah-sama. Actually, I need to discuss something with you.”

“What the hell…… Please give me a break already……”

With the miasma cured, the Carter territory’s domain expanded at once.

This has doubled the workload as more things are needed.

“Actually, I was wondering if you could mass produce the lotion you gave me the other day.”

“Lotion ……? Oh, the one Noah-sama gave you as a souvenir. It cured your goblin-like appearance.”

“What are you going to do with that mass production?”

“Actually, we are flooded with orders from female customers all over the country.”

Sabrina said.

Originally, Sabrina had a terrible appearance.

He was cured of that and his customers were asking him how he did it.

When Sabrina mentioned lotion to them, they said they’d love to have some! And the orders are pouring in.

“The fact that Sabrina-chan has become beautiful is the best advertisement of all.”

“Why do these wives want lotion?”

“A woman always wants to look beautiful, Noah-sama. If this is the lotion that fixed my bumpy skin, it’s only natural that women who want to get younger skin would want it.”

Anyway,  it seems that everyone wants the lotion that I properly made.

(Hm…I see…Okay, I’ll use this.)

“It can’t be helped……Give me three days. I’ll make something even better than the lotion I gave you.”

“Really? Thank you very much! I’m sure the customers will be very pleased!”

“Uuu …..dazzling….he’s a good merchant who’s genuinely trying to meet the needs of his customers…… And you, Noah, what are you thinking? 』

“Of course it’s to ruin my reputation by making and selling a lotion that doesn’t work at all and getting a lot of complaints! 』

“It’s so refreshing to see how unfazed you are…well, I’m sure you’ll fail this time too.』

Thus, I decided to make a new lotion for my new incompetent move.

★

I came to the forest near the mansion.

The white cat, Laurie is on my shoulder.

“Now, let’s get to work.”

“Cosmetics… Isn’t it usually made in a place like a laboratory?” 』

“Idiot! What I’m going to make now is just a random lotion with no effect, so it doesn’t matter.”

“A random lotion….what are you going to do? You don’t even have the ingredients.”

“Huh? It’s everywhere. All over the place.”

I thrust my hand into the subspace and pull out a bottle from inside.

A potion bottle. I’ll put the lotion in this.

“What good is a bottle if there’s nothing in it? 』

“I’m going to make it…”

I hold one hand up in the air.

Then, a small ball of water forms on my palm.

“Water magic? 』

“Yes. It collects moisture from the atmosphere and creates water. Elementary magic that even children can do today [Water Ball].”

“What are you going to do with a water ball? 』

“Put it in the bottle. Yes, it’s done.”

“No… as expected, that’s a little…”

“Do you have any complaints?”

“Yes I do! It’s just water! It’s fake! 』

“Ha-ha! I told you, Laurie, I’m trying to ruin my reputation. I’m just selling water under the guise of lotion! I’ll be getting complaints from all over the country! I want that evil lord fired! That’s how it’s going to go, I’m sure!”

“But……you’ll be causing trouble for Sabrina, the salesman, right? 』

“I’ll have them advertise it as Carter’s Lotion. I’m the only one who’ll be in trouble and Sabrina is the victim. It’ll ruin my reputation even more, won’t it?”

“I see…… As expected of Noah-sama. You have no problems with being the lowest of the low.”

“Shut up! Now, let’s make it….yeah, let’s see, I’ll make about 100,000 bottles lightly.”

I use earth magic to make the containers and water magic to make the lotion.

One after another, at high speed, the fake lotions are completed.

And they are stored in the subspace.

“Um…..Noah-sama. Are you aware that you’re doing……something dangerous? 』

“Kukuku…Of course. It’s fun to do bad things……”

“No, you know…. it’s not just that…..ugh, never mind. Noah-sama, do your best!”

“Yeah. I’ll do my best to ruin my reputation. Aim for banishment! Ha-ha-ha!”

“Ha…this guy, he doesn’t realize that he’s doing amazing things…”

★

Later, in my room.

“As expected, Noah-sama! You’re an amazing person after all!”

“What’s the matter, Sabrina…..you came barging in…..”

Sabrina, a former goblin merchant, came over with a smile on his face.

I have a bad feeling about this……

“The cosmetics you created Noah-sama have been a huge hit all over the country!”

“Huh!? It’s a hit?”

“Yes! We’ve been receiving happy reports from women all over the country!”

Sabrina brings a letter and hands it to me.

Apparently, it’s a letter from his customer who used Carter’s cosmetics.

“My skin looks about 30 years younger! Whoever made this is a genius! 』

“Not only does it heal my acne, but it also clears up my burns! It’s amazing!” 』

“I drank the lotion by mistake, but from that day on, I’ve been super energetic! My stiff shoulders, back pain and everything else have healed! It’s too amazing! 』

……what’s going on?

It’s just water!?

“Noah-sama. I forgot to tell you. The water you created was made with your magic, wasn’t it? 』

“Oh, what about it?” 』

“The water that was created by your magic was also given your magic power. That’s why it’s not just water, but magic water. That’s why it was good for both beauty and health. 』

“What does that mean….?　I intended to make just water, but I was making magic water? 』

“That’s what I’m saying. Yes…Noah-sama.”

What a mess….

Even something I made at random is considered amazing here!

“You’re amazing, Noah-sama! It’s amazing that you made the bottles and cosmetics all by yourself with magic!”

“No… it’s not that great…”

“Don’t be modest! It doesn’t take an ordinary amount of magic to make enough lotion for 100,000 bottles! It’s a feat that can only be done with an extraordinary amount of magic power….. It’s wonderful!”

“Huh, Eh……isn’t it normal?”

“And subspace storage is a lost ancient magic that no one else in this world can do! I can’t believe you have such an amazing magic Noah-sama!”

…… What the hell.

A random act that I did with the intention of damaging my reputation backfired…… They’re now sure I’m a great wizard!

“No, no….. I’m really not that big of a deal……”

“You can do so many great things and yet you are so humble! You’re the best lord…with all your talents, abilities and personality Noah-sama!”

I’ll be affirmed no matter what I do!

How did this happen!?
