Chapter 12:

Truth and Little White Lies

LEAVING NOELA in charge of the drugstore, I headed back into the lab.

The Demon King Ejil, my newest employee, followed me. “What medicine are we making today, Dr. Reiji?”

“We’re low on potions, so I’m whipping up some of those,” I replied. “Hrm…I think we need to make something else, too.”

“I’ll go take a look!” Ejil immediately exclaimed, heading into the store.

He’s pretty useful.

“Ejil seems to be doing well!” giggled Mina, entering the lab with tea in hand.

It had been three days since Ejil started at Kirio Drugs, and he’d already memorized the drugstore’s products and their effects. He was also fast when it came to calculating bills. In terms of skills and knowledge, he could probably run the store on his own for an hour or two.

“He’s helpful,” I agreed. “The problem is that other than me, his teacher, and Noela, the girl he loves, he treats everyone like they’re his subjects.”

“That really is the power of love, huh? Noela is awfully cute.” Mina looked like she found it hilarious.

No matter what Ejil says or does, Noela pays him literally no attention. It’s actually sort of impressive.

The demon king returned. “Doctor, our stock of energy potions is low. We also need more deodorizer and—”

“I’ve made some tea, Ejil. Would you like some?”

“Woman! How dare you interrupt me?! I am discussing important matters with the doctor!”

I lightly brought my palm down on Ejil’s head. Whack!

“Her name isn’t ‘woman’! She’s Miss Mina to you. Thanks, Mina. We’ll gladly have some tea.”

“Right! We will! Posthaste!” Ejil exclaimed. “Would you like some sugar, Doctor? Oh—you don’t take sugar, do you? My apologies.” The demon king was obviously kissing my butt.

“Good luck with work, you two!”

“Not your place, Miss Mina,” Ejil snapped. “I hardly want your encouragement.”

I smacked him again. Whack!

Mina simply smiled and exited the lab.

At this rate, it would be difficult to let Ejil serve customers. The situation wasn’t unlike what had happened with Elaine. Oh, well. To be fair, Ejil’s really an employee in name only. He’s here because he wants to learn to make potions.

Ejil glanced at me. “Doctor? I hear from some of the regulars that you use your skills to help people in need.”

“Yup.”

“Well, um…I’m in need.” Ejil grabbed the lab’s world map and pointed. “The humans are pushing back my Third Eastern Division. At this rate, one of my strongholds will fall. Please, assist me.”

“That’s a crazy request! I’m not a tactician. I make medicine! Get it?” Has he forgotten that I’m human?!

“Then make me a medicine that’ll resurrect the eight legendary historical demon kings. If it works, I’ll be able to conquer the world! You’ll solve the Third Eastern Division problem!”

“I can’t make anything like that. Even if I could, I’d never let you resurrect demon kings!” If we had that many around, this world would enter its very own chaotic, war-torn Sengoku Period.

Huh…? I realized that, according to my medicine-making skill, I actually could create a revival potion. Its effects seemed limited, though.
