It's nice that Sana couldn't recognize the other usages for a slippery fluid ☺️
BONK! A Bonk for everyone. None of you are without sin.

Ain't no way that potion wouldn't sell. Even putting aside the use to prep for fun times, every D&D player knows that stuff is the perfect throwable trap.
Traps need to be predictable. Oil Spill is super dangerous for you too, even after the enemy has fallen for it. And makes handling the materials after, also difficult.

Oh god, she is marketing lube after getting a sexy getup with two boys.

Also: no one buys lube?!
How nice of Sena to even pack lube for the afterparty.

This requires that some one understands this, and that this use, would require performing human testing (See previous). A random slippy material, can have unknown side effects if you're not careful. So, no one is going to assume Lube.

Sana really has got to start preparing her explanations in advance.
There is actually a funny logic behind why she keeps on getting asked for explanations.
  1. The Prince offered her a position as a fortune teller.
  2. She can't refuse his offer without a valid reason because that would be insolent to royalty.
  3. She declared that she is a fake fortuneteller to him as her reason.
  4. Because she is fake, she cannot take up his offer.
  5. If she makes a real fortunetelling prediction, she isn't a fake.
  6. If she isn't fake, then she must take the job because her reason is not valid.

Since Sana is a blabbermouth who can't keep her mouth shut, she then proceeds to actively make predictions right in front of him. Every time she does this, the Prince notices, but she is always finding yet another excuse to explain it away. For reference, here is a list of implausible things she has done on the trip this far:
  1. Knowing the secret identity of their country's agents.
  2. Buying armor from a Chinese take-out restaurant.
  3. Somehow know that the equipment defenses are ridiculously high despite their ridiculous looks (not yet discovered).
  4. Bumping into some random guy and knowing he's a thief to the point where she even knows what gang he is in.
  5. Bringing fire resistance potions to a fight when they didn't even know they were up against a dragon.
  6. Identify where the monster's nest is before they've visited a town that has actually seen the beast.
  7. Bring a massive stockpile of potions, enough to seriously fight a dragon (not yet discovered)

Well, i remember all of that, but someone will probably find this summary helpful, so props for that, i guess.

In the end it all boils down to "Sana is a blabbermouth who can't keep her mouth shut". Though, she had time to prepare the potions, might've prepared an explanation beforehand, too :wowee:

Thank you for the translation!

The three of them actually make a good team. They complement each other well!
