Reborn soap and shampoo

The sounds of excited giggling and splashing of water echoed through the hot spring. It sounded like the maids were having the time of their lives, having a lot of fun and relaxing in the rejuvenating hot water.

Michael wouldn't know, of course. He was sitting on the edge of the pool with both hands firmly covering his eyes.

"Young master, come join us!" they teased.

But the adorable young master simply shook his head. From their perspective, he just looked like an embarrassed little boy.

"The young master is so cute!"

Michael gritted his teeth, forcing his mind to stay calm. He had to use all his willpower to suppress his inner manly desires, but these maids weren't making it easy.

"My skin is so smooth now! Look, touch me."

"Kya! Don't touch me there!"

"Hehehe, I never knew you were so blessed with those huge—"

"Shush! You're one to talk to. I can't believe you're even able to sit with that big behind!"

…

…

…

A few hours later, everyone stepped out of the hot springs wearing a robe around their bodies. The expressions on their faces were almost otherworldly as if they had just experienced nirvana. Never before had they felt so relaxed and fresh in their life.

"Young master, the milk you requested is here!" a butler announced, unloading a large barrel from the carriage.

Of course, one of the essential things to do after relaxing in the hot springs was to drink milk! Drinking milk would help replenish all the fluids they had shed due to the bath's hot temperatures.

He even demonstrated them the proper stance: one hand holding the milk and the other resting on their waist—before taking a sip.

"Ahhhh!"

"It's so good, I might melt…!"

"So this is what relaxing feels like…"

There was nothing but praise for the hot springs. '

These maids and butlers had started working ever since they were a child, which meant that they had never experienced anything like this before. 

It was as if they had become ten years younger. Their cheeks were smooth and rosy, and for the first time in a long while, they felt truly young.

Michael felt satisfied while he leaned on his chair, watching them talk and enjoy the night under the starry sky.

He had shown them how comfortable life could be. 

And he didn't want to stop. 

He hoped that he could show it to the rest of the world as well.

The next morning, the clock bell rang, signaling the start of a new day. 

Rejuvenated from their baths, the maids and butlers woke up early and got to work. All the relaxation from yesterday had re-energized their bodies to the fullest, allowing them to work with 200 percent efficiency.

They pumped up water to refill the tank, cleaned the mansion spotlessly, changed the sheets, and tended to the garden in record time. The bell for noon hadn't even rang yet, but every chore in the mansion had already been completed.

Next, they immediately went to work on the soaps, carefully taking the dried molds out of the sun and into the mansion for safekeeping.

By helping the young master with the soap and shampoo business, they were hoping that they could repay all the kindness he'd given them.

Finally, after a few days of work, Michael had finally built up a good stock of soaps and shampoo, each with different variations.

The mansion was now filled with crates stacked high with soap bars, and on top of those were vials of shampoo lined up in the hundreds.

"I'll be delivering the products to the Madames," Castelle announced.

Some of the madames who had witnessed firsthand how soap and shampoo could be even more fragrant than some perfume had already placed pre-orders. 

Those few people had already ordered an entire box of soap and shampoo for themselves, and thanks to the word-of-mouth gossip, there were some Madames who had personally approached Castelle, eager to buy one for themselves.

"That's great," Michael said.

The butlers loaded the crates onto the carriage, ready to be delivered personally by Castelle. But just before she departed for the next town, she turned back to Michael with an important question.

"Young master… if they ask me where I got these from? What should I tell them?"

The maids and butlers had been careful to keep the young master and his inventions a secret. Even when they wrote to his parents, they had lied, claiming that nothing eventful happened in the mansion during their trip. This was a crime worthy of termination, but for the young master, it was worth it.

Hmmm… if I want to keep this business a secret from my parents, then I need to go under a different name… or better yet, why not a company?

"Tell them that you got these from a company called Reborn."

Castelle repeated the name to herself and nodded.

"Reborn…Reborn soap…Reborn shampoo…That is a very good name for a company, young master. After all, any lady who uses your product will feel like she has been reborn!"

"Uhh yeah…"

She didn't know that Michael only thought about that name because he was literally reborn from another world.

Castelle personally traveled through the town and delivered the boxes of soap and shampoo to the mansions of their very first customers.

The madames and their daughters excitedly opened their packages of goodies and smelled them for themselves. And just as it was promised by Castelle, its fragrances were amazing.

They didn't even waste any more time and ordered their own maids to prepare a bath for them. They wanted to experience this soap and shampoo at that very instant.

"My apologies," the madam's butler said as he handed Castelle a heavy purse brimming with gold coins. "The Madame had been quite impatient waiting for these… soaps and shampoo… She's been moody as of late. This is the promised compensation, along with a couple extra for your troubles."

Just from weight alone, Castelle knew that it was far more than what she expected.

And just when she was about to leave, the butler waved down her carriage.

"Ahem… if we were to acquire more of these goods, can we count on you to deliver them?"

Castelle couldn't help but smile. "Yes, please."

"Oh, and one more thing," the butler added. "Can I know the name of the man I have to thank for making my madam so happy?"

As much as Castelle wanted to brag about her young master, she kept her quiet.

"These are brought to you by a company called Reborn. Unfortunately, that is all I can say."

"Reborn… very well."

That night, Castelle finished all her deliveries, and the reactions from each of the customers were as ecstatic as the first madame.

By the next day, their husbands had begun to notice the difference. Their wives smelled incredible, earning the madames a lot of love and attention.

Not only that, as they paraded themselves throughout the town, all the other ladies couldn't help but be envious of how their skin was glowing or how their hair was so smooth and fragrant.

Of course, as those madames started bragging, the name Reborn soap and Reborn shampoo etched itself deeper in the minds of the rich people in Kingsbridge.

Soon, the Reborn Soap and Reborn Shampoo became the must-have luxury soap and shampoo brand in the market!
