In addition to the meetings of Rosenkreuz of the Rose Maiden Cross, the gaming hall project at her family home had also begun.

Li’s daily life had become busy but there were still things she had to do.

Meeting the remnant of the Founding King was one of them but the request she had received came first.

That was right.

It was a request from Evans Ghe Bonaccorti, the Chief Court Magic Pharmacist.

He had asked Li to make medicine for hair.

Well to be precise he had not actually said ‘make it’ but in Li’s mind it had already been decided that she would experiment.

So today, when the academy was closed, she planned to devote the entire day to it.

In the unlikely event that her engagement to the Crown Prince was not broken off, the drug Li wanted to develop was one that would render the Crown Prince impotent.

To be honest this objective had already been half accomplished thanks to Trismegistus.

After all the information Li wanted was known by that overconfident familiar.

However for today she would start with medicine related to hair.

There were many experiments Li personally wanted to try but those would come later.

Inside the underground laboratory exclusively used by Li beneath the ducal house’s secondary residence, her bell-like voice rang out.

“Come here, Tori-chan!”

As usual the book bound entirely in leather appeared.

“Tori-chan, today I want to know about medicine that improves thinning hair!”

“Thinning hair... please wait a moment.”

The pages flipped automatically with a fluttering sound.

“Master, this is the information you are looking for.”

Even in her previous life Li had been someone with thick hair.

She had heard some people of her generation talk about hair tonics and such.

At the same time they had looked at her (him) with envy.

So she did not actually possess much knowledge about thinning hair.

According to the information from Trismegistus, research was being conducted to some extent in this world as well.

However despite the existence of things like healing potions, magical medicines that grew hair had not been developed.

What was written there were various theories.

For example there was the matter of healing magic.

When this magic reached higher levels it could repair severed limbs.

However it was only repair not regeneration.

In other words if a monster had eaten someone’s arm, even healing magic could not restore it.

If the torn arm remained it could be repaired.

From this result it was inferred that something serving as the foundation for hair growth must exist in the first place.

That makes sense, Li thought.

It was probably accurate.

In other words, if some hair still remained it could likely be increased.

Judging that this approach might be effective, Li decided to reference recipes from the Late Magitech Empire era.

But could lost hair be regenerated?

“Tori-chan, is there such a thing as regeneration magic?”

“Yes it does exist but it is a magic that is difficult to handle.”

“What do you mean?”

“Regeneration magic is essentially magic that rewinds time. And it only works on the caster themselves.”

Even with the mysterious power called magic, creating something from nothing was difficult.

That was the work of gods.

Then what exactly was regeneration magic?

According to Trismegistus its essence was the reversal of time.

It meant returning the state of the body to a chosen point in the past.

However even though it was called a chosen point, handling it was extremely delicate.

As a result many accidents occurred among those who practiced regeneration magic in the past.

There were even cases where time was reversed to before one’s birth and the person ceased to exist.

Because of that it was designated as a forbidden spell and eventually became lost to history.

“If it were my master, you could use it. But for others it would be impossible.”

“If one mastered regeneration magic, would immortality also be possible?”

“For my master, reaching that level would be possible. However I would not recommend it.”

Li thought that made sense.

Certainly it would be attractive to remain in one’s prime forever.

However the people around her would not be the same.

The people Li cherished would one day grow old and die.

And imagining herself being the only one left behind sent a cold chill down her spine.

“Let us start by making medicine that increases hair.”

Li decided to pretend she had never heard about regeneration magic.
