The research tower collects and processes medicinal herbs that can be collected here, and makes potions.

The various potions made are distributed as a constant medicine to each village.

Recently, Lamia, with herbal knowledge, joined the production of potions at the research tower, and the production volume has increased all at once.

As a result, potions were traded to the Guild Beastland, where the number of concoctions was small.

Something went wrong in the corner of the research tower's workshop, and a report came to me.

Master, we've discovered theft and secured the culprit at the research tower.

Lamia and Beretta, with their unusually cold faces, are taking her to a splendid throne.

I'm so sorry!

"... can you give me a detailed report?"

In response to the full apology from the throne, I pressed my finger on my temple and asked why, enduring a headache.

The three Lamia people who were entering and exiting the research tower to create the potions were stealing parts of the research tower's medicine in multiple installments.

The theft itself is a problem, but why you bring the story to me is a little bit tilted.

For the time being, there are rules about penalties, right?

'Yes, with regard to theft, the money to the victim.or repayment by labor. In this case, since it is a regular medicine prepared by your husband, it will be in the form of payment to your husband. "

Beretta tells us that it doesn't matter what you do with these people.

"I'm sorry!" Please, I'm the only one guilty of the crime, and please don't expel my brothers and sisters! "

No, I don't think it's because I don't do that, but since Tete the soothing character is out in a simulation fight, the atmosphere in the scene will become heavier.

If you don't ask me why, I won't be punished.

"Why did you guys steal the medicine?Each village has its own medicine, right? "

”Um... when I make the potions, I get injured by a knife occasionally, and the liquid jumps and burns my skin...”

What Lamia and the others had to say was truly feminine.

At first, he was using medicine to treat his wounds and burns.

However, at one point, the old burn stains disappeared due to the ointment that worked on the burns in the medicine and the skin condition was improved.

"I thought that with this, the burns and stains would disappear and my skin would become brighter and shinier, so I'm sorry!"

“I'm sorry!”

"Ahh, well, that's quite a matter of life and death for the female demon race..."

I didn't think that the ointment prepared for burns would be used as a cosmetic cream.

Moreover, the female demon tribe becomes a child by taking turns with a man of a different race.

The plant-based female demons Dry Add and Auraune are not attached to the heterosexual relationship, but Quimby and Arachné have a history of snapping travellers' males for turns, and Lamia also obtained seeds by formulating incense that elevates her mood.

Lamia and her three daughters stole the ointment they thought they could use for beauty purposes.

“Beretta's been telling us what the problem was.”

"" "Yes, yes..." "

If the original medicine was stolen and lost, it could have delayed the treatment of the injured at work.

“Yeah, I'm going to get you to help me with my work for a while, and I'm going to be a drug investigator.”

"" Yes... I accept it with respect. ""

Well then, go home today.

When I return Lamia's three daughters, Beretta opens her mouth.

"Master, your treatment is too sweet."

"I see. But there was a demand for ointments for burns as beauty creams."As it is, it is not enough as a beauty cream, so I would like to improve it a little bit and develop skin care products as well. "

There were three people with strong interest in beauty related Concoction skills.

If we just punish them and do as we have always done, it is equally likely that other people will steal the burn ointment.

Then it would be better to let them work together to create a beauty cream and sell it to prevent theft.

Now, let's pick up a new ointment based on burn-resistant medicinal herbs, but also the ingredients to add to it.

I'm here to help. I'm glad you're having a good time.

Pick up the [Witch's Forest of Creation] material and start selecting the material to be combined with the burn ointment.

The next day, the three of them, who came to my lab on the top floor of the research tower, were staring at me with tense materials.

Well then, I'll teach the three of you how to make ointment for yesterday's burns.

I've prepared the materials properly!

Today, while Tete is working as an assistant, I will teach Lamia's three daughters how to make the ointment they used to steal.

"Damien's flowers and the leaf extract of the world tree were used in the burn ointment." What a luxury. "

"Besides, it also contains Mogimosa, which is also used for incense."That's how you suppressed the inflammation of the burns. "

”Hiiiii, if you thought the burn ointment was good, you'd be so enchanted!?”

When I demonstrate the process of making the ointment, Lamia's three daughters speak up similar to screams.

The ingredients used are very common herbal ingredients, but their effectiveness is mismatched because they strengthen the medicinal ingredients by using magic power.

The burn ointment was crammed with about 10,000 magic power (more than three ordinary adventurers).

Now that I've prepared the mana potions, let's make them.

"" Hah, hahi... ""

All three of them were instructed to cast their magic power close to half of their magic power into an ointment, and they completed it while sitting on their hips.

Originally, because my Concoction skill was high, I was able to make my first ointment.

Yeah, that's great. Now the four of you can improve it as a beauty cream.

"" "Huh?" "

The finished burn ointment will be transported by Tete to the stash to refill what they used.

Please help us complete the beauty cream for a while.

That being said, I quickly start blending with the material I was starring.

The three of them are wondering if they can do what they want to do to make a beauty cream after committing the theft, but they start making medicine.

However, as the three of them gradually got used to it, while recovering their magic power with mana potions, they created an ointment that had been applied in advance.

I also make beauty creams, but the amount of work I do alone and Lamia's three daughters is about the same.

And I used Appraisal Magic to investigate the efficacy of the finished beauty cream.

“Nos. 7, 15, and 20 are now beauty creams that specialize in skin symptoms, and 23 is probably the best general-purpose beauty cream.”

The rest is bumps, but after the three of them have cooperated, I will ask them to confirm the actual feeling of use.

In addition to the results of the appraisal magic, the smell, stickiness, moisture, and so on... they need to be improved in fine areas to continue using them.

After repeated concoctions, the beauty cream was completed.

"I did it!" "It's over!-This will free you!

Repeated preparations and trials for beauty creams have improved their glossiness, but their inner core is worn out.

It looks like you're in a sunny mood after the liquidation of your crimes.

"Well then, please continue to make beauty cream."I'm glad I got my favorite moisturizing cream. "

Witch! When you go to the bath today, Tete will paint your back!

Even if I am old, my skin is easily dry when I take a bath or in the winter, and moisturizing is indispensable for soft skin that is vulnerable to irritation.

Although it is not for cosmetic purposes, I am heartfeltly happy that I have gotten a moisturizing cream that is satisfying.

Meanwhile, Lamia's three daughters had a desperate look on their faces when they realized that they would continue to make beauty creams.

At a later date, their beauty cream became a constant framing until it spread to the women of the [Forest of Creation Witches], and it was finally decided that the sins could be settled, and additional personnel were replenished from Beretta.

And since they have been paid for their labor in the meantime, they have not lost it.
