“Here are the recovery potions. They are for wounds, magic, poison, and paralysis.”
“That’s a lot more than before.”
Previously, Primilla had been regularly making magic recovery potions, but recently, their numbers have increased dramatically. Additionally, the types of potions have quietly expanded to include those for poison and paralysis.
“It’s thanks to the field that you created, Rey-sama.”
“You did make it quite large, but the amount of work must have increased, making it difficult, right?”
“It’s fun.”
Though Primilla has been creating monsters related to the fields as needed, I thought her own workload would have increased, but she doesn’t seem to mind at all. She really must enjoy it—growing things.
“Besides Lopez, it seems like some other monsters occasionally come for medicinal herbs, but everything seems fine.”
“Yes, the Griffins are protecting us. They’re good kids.”
Since she meets them often during farming work, Primilla is the one feeding them. Perhaps because of this, they’ve grown particularly attached to her recently, and it seems like the large hall’s fields are being taken care of well.
Like the golems and fairies, Primilla is well-liked by the monsters. Perhaps, even during battles in the game, golems and hippogriffs appeared alongside Primilla . Or maybe, she might have been attacking from the sky while riding a cockatrice…
“Is it okay with the cockatrices? They use poison, so I feel like they might be harmful to the medicinal herbs.”
“It’s fine. Because you created them, Rey-sama, they’re very intelligent. They keep the amount and range of poison under control so the herbs don’t get ruined.”
They’re good kids. Even though they look a bit scary with their bulging eyes, I think I’ll try to be kind to them next time I meet them.
“By the way… about the fields…”
“Is there a problem?”
From the way she’s bringing it up, it seems like everything isn’t going as smoothly as it might appear. From her hesitant approach, I think she probably has a request for me.
“Rigma-sama and Lopez… they had some opinions…”
“Rigma and Lopez…?”
That’s unusual… or maybe not. Lopez has been casually interacting with the Four Heavenly Kings, so it’s not that surprising.
When Fiona-sama’s incompetence was exposed, Lopez seemed to start thinking that the demon race was nothing to be afraid of. But that’s not it. I’ve realized recently that Lopez seems a little scared of Fiona-sama and me. Despite this, it seems like he’s trying to engage positively with the demon race, starting with talking to the Four Heavenly Kings.
“Considering the inn and shop’s customer traffic, they think it’s a waste not to offer meals.”
“Ah…”
I hadn’t thought about that. Even though it’s an inn, it only provides a place to sleep, and they don’t offer breakfast or dinner services. The shop sells food, but it’s only basic ingredients or long-lasting, simple foods. Personally, I’m fine with just having something to eat, but having proper meals would likely attract more customers.
“Especially Rigma-sama insisted that for daily energy and relaxation, we should definitely serve alcohol as well.”
Yeah, I can easily imagine that scene. Lopez, did you pick Rigma because he’s the easiest to get along with? If so, his ability to read people is impressive.
“But, you know, if there’s nothing, we can’t make it.”
“? Well, with the fields and orchards, we can grow fruits for alcohol, vegetables, and fruits.”
Ah, I see. I was thinking too far ahead. I was already planning on creating a facility like a dining hall alongside the inn and shop. But Primilla seems to have been thinking more practically, wanting to serve meals and alcohol at the inn.
“So, will you take care of the meal issue, Primilla ?”
“No… I can only provide the ingredients.”
“Cooking?”
“…Rey-sama, I can make soup really well.”
That’s right. She had mentioned before that because of her water attribute, she can make great soups. Whenever she brings them as a treat to the dwarf Karl, he seems to think that giving up his next life was well worth it, so it must be delicious. So I can imagine her soup is really something special.
“I see, so what about other dishes?”
“I can make soup really well.”
…It seems like Primilla ’s dialogue event has ended. From now on, I’ll probably only get the same response. Ah, so this is the kind of thing that happens in a game world.
“Someone else who seems good at cooking… is Ripianem.”
“She’s good at chopping ingredients.”
“What about Fiona-sama…?”
“………”
It seems like she couldn’t even think of anything she’s good at.
Well, Fiona-sama is the Demon King, so it wouldn’t be surprising if she has a personal chef rather than being the one doing the cooking.
“Oh, that’s right. If it’s Pilkaya, she should be good with fire, right?”
“Yes, she’s good at controlling the fire, so the head chef praised her.”
“The head chef… I see, so there’s obviously someone like that.”
“Then, it’s my time to shine!”
“Whoa… you startled me.”
Fiona-sama spoke loudly from behind, and I nearly dropped the potions I had received from Primilla . Huh? She looks unusually happy, smiling. Did something good happen?
“Demon King-sama… please don’t surprise Rey-sama.”
“Ah, I’m sorry! Are you okay, Rey? Don’t worry, it’s not scary~”
I’m not a baby, please don’t try to console me…
Also, what’s up with a Demon King saying they’re not scary?
Fiona-sama was holding a treasure chest. The one I hadn’t opened yet. Could it be that the magic infusion was finished, and she couldn’t resist asking to open it?
“Fiona-sama, that treasure chest…”
“Oh, you noticed? As expected of my Rey. You noticed the difference in this treasure chest. You’re such a proud subordinate.”
What should I do? I have no idea what the difference is.
What’s different from the usual dud?
“Actually, the victory is already guaranteed!”
“Eh?”
Are you okay? You’re raising a flag that sounds like it will fail.
Or maybe you’re raising a flag on purpose to try to get the opposite result?
“What’s with that look? It’s fine, really!”
“Well, Fiona-sama, when you pull a gacha, you’re always so confident…”
“It’s fine~! Because this treasure chest has already had the guaranteed animation triggered by Tokito’s power!”
So, if I open it now, it’ll be a resurrection potion, right?
It seems like she tried to ask when I wasn’t in the way.
It looks like she went to ask during a break.
As for Tokito, who’s gotten used to it, it’s fine, but I bet Okui and the others are probably surprised.
“Well, if that’s the case, should we open it now?”
“Yes, please!”
She’s staring at me with eyes full of expectation. I hope I’m fine with this.
At this point, since Fiona-sama is so excited, I’m pretty sure she’ll get the dud.
It’s been a while since I saw the options, so the result might have changed.
And since I was just talking to Primilla , it’s probably going to be ingredients.
“Well, let’s not get our hopes too high… Eh?”
“What do you mean by ‘eh’? I told you, didn’t I? The guaranteed animation has already been triggered.”
“Seriously, a resurrection potion came out… is this some kind of ominous sign?”
“Why!?”
Because, Fiona-sama pulling a resurrection potion… Ah, I see.
She must have pulled so many duds that she hit the ceiling.
Since there’s no system like that, she kept getting duds until now, but maybe it was just implemented this time.
If not, Fiona-sama’s misfortune leading her to pull a resurrection potion is… just… so unbelievable…
“…Are you thinking something rude? What do you think, Primilla ?”
“I’m fully on Rey-sama’s side.”
“My Four Heavenly Kings, and you say that!?”
Yeah. I’m calm now.
Even Fiona-sama isn’t always going to get bad luck.
It’s perfectly fine for her to get a resurrection potion sometimes.
So the problem now is who to resurrect, but the Four Heavenly Kings are all complete with Ripianem.
So, who will be next?
“Who will you resurrect next, after the Four Heavenly Kings?”
“Magirema!”
“Demon King-sama, I don’t think Rey-sama will know just from the name.”
As expected of Primilla . She’s doing a great job supporting Fiona-sama, who’s so excited.
“That’s true. I apologize. It’s the head chef, Magirema!”
“The head chef… now that you mention it, we were just talking about that.”
I almost forgot because of the shock of Fiona-sama pulling a good gacha.
“Yes, Rey and Primilla , and if Rigma also agrees, then resurrecting Magirema would be a good choice.”
“Is that okay? I mean, shouldn’t we prioritize combat-capable demons or something?”
Indeed, Fiona-sama has always resurrected the people we wanted, the ones we needed for battle.
But those were the Four Heavenly Kings, who were strong from the start.
But this time, it’s the head chef. While they might not be useful for combat, is it really okay?
“It’s fine. If we need combatants, Ripianem and I are here.”
“We can fight too, but we don’t have more than the two of us, so it’s fine.”
Well, Ripianem is skilled in combat and looking for work, after all.
If we get more combatants, she might start breaking things around her again, looking for more work.
“Then, I’ll resurrect them now~. Rise up, Magirema!”
Ah… Fiona-sama couldn’t hold back anymore, and started resurrecting Magirema.
I was thinking we’d wait until the other Four Heavenly Kings were present, but I guess we can just meet them later.
While I was thinking about this, a dog face stared at me intently.
