Chapter 8

"Astalot! Look at my skin!"

As Astalot entered Lucifer's office, he was immediately caught by Adramelech.

"Isn't that a good mood?"

Adramelech took Astalot's hands and pulled her close. Then, he leaned in and said,

"Yuria suggested a toner that suits my skin! It really works well. My makeup looks great, and the problem of it flaking has improved!"

Astalot looked closely at Adramelech's skin.

Indeed, his makeup looked better than usual. The pores were tightened, making the makeup look good even up close. And, being a man, his skin usually became oily over time, but that wasn't the case now.

"In front of me, she created seeds of thyme and lemongrass, planted them in the field, and made them grow lush in no time. Isn't that an amazing ability?"

Astalot had only received a rose toner as a gift, so she didn't know about such abilities.

"Hmm? She can create seeds?"

At that, Lucifer, who was busy with paperwork, stopped his work and looked up.

"Yes, she just said 'seed creation, thyme,' and the seeds appeared. Oh, right! Her garden is a beautiful one filled with flowers, herbs, and roses. Moreover, there were plants I had never seen before..."

Adramelech recounted what he had seen to his superior.

"Oh? That means..."

Astalot seemed to have an idea and looked at Lucifer.

"If she knows crops that can grow in the barren lands of the Demon Lord's territory where crops don't thrive..."

"There's a possibility that the food shortage in some areas of my territory could be resolved..."

While thinking about visiting her, Lucifer was overwhelmed by the tasks at hand...

◆

Unaware of the thoughts of the upper echelons, I was planning my next 'beauty enhancement plan.'

"I want camellia oil!"

In the past, I didn't have the time to actually do it, but I had researched how to make various things without additives on the internet. Well, I was mostly satisfied with just researching and daydreaming...

"Seed creation, camellia. Uh, a lot!"

Then, an overwhelming amount of seeds spilled out of my palm and rolled onto the floor.

"Ah!"

Just then, Luri came into my room.

"Oh! What a mess!"

I stopped Luri, who was about to help pick up the scattered seeds, and asked her for something else.

"Luri, these are important seeds. Could you bring me a container that can hold all of them?"

"Ah, of course! I'll bring it right away."

After a while, she returned with a bowl from the kitchen, and we collected the camellia seeds together.

"Are you going to plant these again?"

She tilted her head, wondering why there were so many.

"No, this time I want to extract high-quality oil from these seeds. It's very good for hair. First, I want to crack these shells with a hammer or something and get the insides out..."

As I said this, Luri picked up a seed.

"These are really hard! If you get hurt, it would be terrible, so I'll call some free maids and men to help!"

---

Hmm. Is it a slow life to have others do it?

Besides, I can recover with healing magic if I get hurt.

I had some doubts, but the thoughtfulness of Luri, who wanted to prevent me from getting hurt, was something I never received when I was in the human world, and it made me feel very warm and happy.

Soon, Luri returned with over a dozen men and women, including Alan, who usually took care of the garden, and Hans from the kitchen.

"I've brought men to help with the shelling and maids who are interested in the work and want to help."

Luri is so kind to call people, and it's amazing that so many people, led by Alan, volunteered to help. The idea that demons are scary is a misconception. Everyone is so kind.

I was very happy and smiled at everyone.

"Thank you. I'm really happy. I'll give you instructions, so please follow them."

I smiled at each of the gathered people and made my request.

"Okay!"

"First, I and Hans will crack these hard shells."

Alan offered to help.

Thanks to the strong men working efficiently, the many seeds were quickly reduced to their contents.
