Chapter 5: The Lamias’ Cosmetics

Before the stampede, a tilted tower had washed up in the Forest. As it turned out, this tower was a piece of planar driftwood—an artifact that had passed through many realities. I had repurposed it since then; presently I was using it as my research tower. It was located pretty far away from civilization, which allowed me to carry out all of my experiments in it, from magic research to magic tool creation, and even monster raising. I had also installed an alchemy room in the tower, where the mechanoids and I would mix potions using medicinal herbs, which we would then distribute to the inhabitants of the Forest. Ever since we took in the refugees, the demand for potions had shot up to the point where we couldn’t meet it anymore. That’s when we decided to hire the lamias to help us, as they were quite proficient with magical herbs.

But, just as I was starting to think everything was going swimmingly, Beretta came to find me, an uncharacteristically cold look on her face. “Master, we have discovered a case of theft at the research tower. We have already apprehended the culprits,” she told me.

Behind her, three lamias kowtowed in front of me. “W-We’re very sorry!” they said in perfect sync.

I was slightly taken aback by the situation. “Uh... Can you explain to me exactly what they did?” I asked, rubbing my temple with my fingers. I already knew this situation was going to be headache-inducing.

“These three lamias work in the brewing room. They have stolen medicinal potions several times now,” Beretta explained.

“Well, I’m certainly not happy with that...but was it really necessary to get me involved?” I asked, puzzled.

“We’re very sorry! Please only punish us and do not kick our sisters out of the Forest!” the lamias begged me.

“I won’t punish an entire race because of three bad eggs,” I sighed.

If Teto was here, her bright personality would’ve helped the lamias calm down, but she was currently participating in a mock battle with some of our demon neighbors, so the atmosphere was rather tense.

I should ask why they stole from us before punishing them.

“Why did you steal the potions?” I asked. “We distribute them to all of the settlements on a regular basis. Did you run out already?”

“Um... Sometimes when we make the potions, we hurt ourselves with the knives, or we get burned by liquid splashing...”

The lamias had quite a...girly reason to steal the potions. From what they told us, they mostly stole ointments to cure wounds and burns. At first, they had been using regular medicinal potions to tend to their injuries, but they noticed that the ointments were much better at treating burns—not to mention that they worked wonders on old scars and made their skin feel soft and rejuvenated.

“We thought that using those would make us more appealing to males... We’re very sorry!”

“We’re sorry!”

I nodded. “So that’s what it is. Well, for you guys, I suppose being appealing to the opposite
