After taking a bath, my body and mind feel refreshed again. My body is clean because the soap effect is good and not becomes a failed product. My mind is fresh because the load that already saved for days finally able to release.

I, Clara, and Claire take separate ways when returning from the bathroom. I go to my own room while Clara and Claire go to their own room to change clothes and their loincloth. In my mind, I'm already thinking about buying sanitary pads for them from the online shop. But I must think what should I told them about that sanitary pads and how to keep it as a secret because, with the current technology, I don't think that sanitary pads can be reproduced in here.

When I enter my room, Carina is already waiting for me there. She runs and gives me a hug when she saw me enter the room.

"Brother Henry! You're really back!"

I hug her back and lift her body highly like a father lift his baby high in the air

"Brother Henry! I'm not a little girl anymore!"

Carina protesting with pouting her mouth which makes her looks cuter. I laughed and put her down.

"Hahaha… Yes, you're not a little girl anymore. You getting heavier to lift…Carina, are you doing good when I leave the castle?"

"Um, I did as brother Henry told me to do. Eat well, sleep well, and practice singing with sister Clara and Claire"

"Good….How do you know I'm already returning?"

"Father told me that. Since father back to work again in this castle, I sleep in his room, accompany my mother if she needs company when my father work until late night"

"Oh, it's uncle Jake who told you that. Okay, since you're doing well when I'm away, I will give you a gift for that"

I take a bar of soap in the table with its box and handed it to Carina. She receives the soap and examines it with full of curiosity, she even sniffing that soap.

"Brother Henry…what is this? It smells like spices"

"This thing called soap, and it used to clean our body when we take a bath. You can also use it when to wash your clothes"

"Like shampoo?"

"You know shampoo? Ah, right…sister Eliza must give it to you too. Well, shampoo is to clean hair while soap is to clean body, that's the difference. You can ask sister Clara or Claire how to use it later."

"Okay, I'll ask sister Clara how to use this soap. I will try right away because I haven't take a bath"

"Oh really? No wonder there's a smell in this room"

"Brother Henry! You mean!"

Carina is pouting her little mouth from my teasing. I giggling when seeing her cute expression

"Hey, I didn't say bad smell thou…"

"Ah? Right…then what smell is it?"

"Smell of little girl who hasn't take a bath today…hahaha"

"Aaaahh…brother Henry! You teasing me again"

Carina pinching me all over after realizes I only teasing her. She only stops her pinching after I give her a hug.

"Now now…be a good girl…take a bath then prepare breakfast for us, we have breakfast together like before"

Hearing the words 'having breakfast together' make Carina's eyes glimmer with joy

"Yes! I'll do it right away!"

I release my hug and let Carina to left the room to do what I ask to her. Now since nobody else in my room, I can do something that I had in mind before, use my phone for online shopping!

I take my phone from my hiding place, open the screen and connect the online shop and start to search the goods from the display. There are two items that I want to buy right now, the first is sanitary pads for Clara and Claire and the other is soy sauce. Although there's soybean product from the agricultural product list from Harvard territory document that I read before, the usage for soybean to make soy sauce is never heard. It will take time to make it on my own, while the arrival of Earl Stamfort is near. So, until I can teach people here to make soy sauce or make it by myself, I don't have other choice but buy it from the online shop. After seeing the quota for shopping, it already returns to two chances, there's no cooling down time like before. maybe because I only buy one item yesterday and cooling down time for one item is 12 hours?

After scrolling between items in the displays and add items that I want to shop cart, push the BUY icon, with a ding sound a text appears "ITEMS DELIVERED' and 200 credits are deducted from my account. But now I know where to take the goods from that online shop. I look at my phone, I could not stop wondering how this phone can work in this era. The batteries also not show any sign of decreasing, which makes me wonder where its energy comes from. Oh well, I do not hear any notice or something speaking in my mind like what I've read in the novel. I'm completely lost if you ask me how this could be like that, or how to become like this, beat me. I also don't know, I only can say, it's magic, dude!

Finish with my phone, I take the identification stone or I prefer calling it my portable warehouse since I use it more to keep my things there. So after chanting the spell, 'STATUS'…the usual panel comes out.

=========================

After takes the sanitary pads from the inventory, I'm still watching the status panel. There's something which makes me not clear with this panel and somehow bothering my mind. The skill list in there, 3 comes from previous Henry and 3 from me as Ikki Isaku. I wonder if that skill can be increased or added another skill. For example, the swordsmanship that I learn from master Durnham, can I put in that skill list also? Or it will automatically be added into the list if the requirement is met? Even after I think so hard, I still can't find the answer. So I close the panel and preparing the things that I will need to use today.
