Michael walked over to the kitchen house, with most of the maids cooking sothing over the fire. They imdiately greeted him with smiles once they saw him walk into the room.
"Young master, we made your favorite beef stew!"
"Would you like to eat it now, young master?"
"Young master…" Beretta walked over to Michael and noticed that he had the sa mischievous grin on his face when he showed them the faucet. It was even more suspicious now since he had his hands on his back, obvious that he was hiding sothing.
"Hehehe…I just wanted a little bit of feedback about my new project."
The mont he said those words, the maids imdiately stopped what they were doing and offered themselves to the young master.
"Oooh! What is it, young master?"
"Did it have sothing to do with what you bought last ti?"
He nodded and finally showed them the bar of white soap behind his back.
And imdiately, they slled a pleasant sll reminiscent of flowers wafting from the strange bar in his hands.
"This is called hand soap. It is used to clean your hands, body, and everything else."
Michael walked over to the faucet and let the water run over his hands. Then, he rubbed the soap, and imdiately a thick lather bubbled up, covering his entire hand.
They knew what a soap was, but the one in the young master's hands was completely different. It slled better than perfu, and was also a lot bubblier than even the most expensive soap in the market.
Michael washed the lather off his hands and showed it to the maids.
"See?"
One of the maids got too curious and took Michael's hands and slled it herself. And once she did, she imdiately fell in love with the lingering scent on his hands.
"Oh my god! Young master, this is even better than cologne! How does it sll so good even after you washed it off?"
The rest of the maids wanted a sll too, but Michael stopped them.
"If you want, you could try it for yourself," he said, giving them the bar of soap.
They imdiately fought against each other to be the first ones to use the soap. But eventually, all of them got a chance to use the soap.
"This cleans my hands so fast," said one of the maids. She would have needed at least ten minutes to scrub the coal off her hands through normal ans. But with the soap, it only took her less than a minute to get rid of everything. Not only that, but her hand slled great after it too!
Seeing the maids imdiately loving the soap, Michael felt satisfied. With soap and water, there was finally a standard of cleanliness in this household.
"To thank you for all your service, I prepared these for all of you," Michael said as he walked outside and brought out a big rucksack.
He then gave everyone their own bar of soap and a vial of a strange blue liquid.
As expected, the maids scread in excitent once they received this very generous gift. They were almost so excited with the bar of soap that they almost ignored the strange liquid included with it.
"Young master, what is this?" said one of the maids, putting the vial over her eyes.
"That one's called a shampoo. Just try to put that shampoo on your hair during your shower, and you'll see the effects."
One of the maids took out the cork from the vial and slled the 'shampoo' liquid. The scent was as, if not better, than the soap because the essential oils were much more concentrated in it.
The maids all looked at each other, with their eyes filled with a competitive fire.
Then, silence.
After a few seconds, one of them finally had enough and shouted,
"I'll take a bath first!"
After that, the maids all rushed to say the sa.
" too!"
"I said it first!"
"You've taken a shower this morning!"
"No, I haven't. You're the one who uses the shower every day!"
After a lot of arguing amongst the maids, a good half of them imdiately returned to their dorms to try out this new soap and shampoo that the young master gave them.
anwhile, the rest of the unfortunate maids were forced to continue the work in the kitchen house.
After a while, the maids returned from the dormitory, all slling like they had just been frolicking in a field of flowers. Not only that, their skin seed to be glistening under the light, as if all the dirt and imperfections had been scrubbed off.
Even they couldn't help but touch themselves with how smooth their skin beca after using the soap to clean their body.
But perhaps the most startling difference was their hair. It beca voluptuous and silky, as if they had been coated in honey. Their hair looked healthier as well, with barely any knots or strayed ends.
The other maids would have praised the soap, but they imdiately went back to the dormitory to try it out themselves.
anwhile, the refreshed maids all turned to Michael and praised him again for his generous gift.
"Young master, if you give these to any lady, then I'm sure they'll marry you in an instant!"
"Yes, he'll be quite popular with the ladies with this."
Michael wasn't thinking about girls and romance for now. His mind was far older than his body because of his previous life.
Right now, he was focused on increasing the standard of living in this place, starting with the mansion. Now that he was done with water and proper sanitation, his next course of business was a little bit more complicated.
This world still asured ti through sundials, hourglasses, and candles.
For his next project, Michael wanted to create the first chanical clock!
Since it was purely made out of gears and tal workings, it was completely doable with his current abilities. Of course, he still needed to practice his 2-star [tal Bend] spell to achieve the kind of precision needed for this kind of project.
