SS 4: Transforming old ideas.

*Third person's POV*

This happened during the stage when Aruh was studying with Fas Nesel, learning how to work with animal skins.

Fortuna had not been able to visit the Tulser Mountains because her father had opened the plant to produce soap, so Naku's birthday was celebrated only between her and Aruh, and also, Arachne.

The gift for her was a pink lipstick, which she loved.

When Fortuna again visited the village with a gift for her friend, she was surprised to see her lips painted of pink.

"Aruh gave you a cosmetic lip cream? That shine... It must have crushed gems. Amazing! You look so cute." (Fortune)

Fortuna began to make calculations in her head about the cost of the gift, not for bad feelings like envy, but as a habit as a merchant.

"I do not know what he made it with, but being a gift from Aruh, it's more than enough for me to love it." (Naku)

"The mix is simple, so at first I was worried if it was an appropriate gift. I'm glad you liked it, it looks great on you." (Aruh)

"What I like the most is that I can leave you the marks of my love." (Naku)

Naku kissed Aruh on the cheek, leaving a pink mark of her lips.

"You made the recipe, Aruh? Well, it was to be expected.You know, makeup has a high demand and is sold at a good price, would you be interested in selling your recipe?" (Fortuna)

"It seems like a good idea to me, Aruh. If it's in Fortuna's hands, it could become popular and so many women would look beautiful to the men they love." (Naku)

"You make me blush with those words, Naku, but you are right in trusting me to distribute it all over Eralgia. What do you say, Aruh?" (Fortuna)

"Yes, I do not see any problem." (Aruh)

The recipe consisted of wax (from red giant bees), forest walnut oil, Tiho’s seed extract (a very common plant of the forests) and dry powder of its flowers to give it the color.

Fortuna's face brightened on hearing the ingredients, except for beeswax, the others were easy to obtain and throughout Eralgia; in addition, the wax could be replaced by other from less dangerous animals according to Aruh .

However, when Naku showed her the lipstick, Fortuna's surprise went over the top. All the makeup had the form of creams or powders, but this one had the form of a bar encapsulated in a tube of wood.

It was transcendental! Convenient to use and bring everywhere!

Fortuna immediately contacted her father and told him about the new product Aruh had invented.

In the end, the success of the lipstick was as great, or even more so, than that of soap.

But the surprises that Aruh kept for Fortuna did not end...
