Chapter 10: The Complexities of Resident Affairs

I had been spending the last few weeks going from settlement to settlement and checking on the demons, when one day the representatives of two races came to request an audience with me.

“Lady Witch, there’s something we need to talk to you about!”

One of them was a werewolf man named Howl; the other, a devilkin woman named Devalna. The two of them sat opposite Teto and me on the sofa in our reception room. Howl seemed pretty uncomfortable, perhaps since he was a bit overlarge for the sofa. Beside him, Devalna was sitting straight as a board, visibly nervous.

“You two came here so suddenly; is something the matter?” I asked.

Teto seemed to share my feelings. “If you have any troubles, Teto and Lady Witch will try to help!” she added.

“Lady Witch, you have let us move into your land, and you’ve been nothing but kind to us. However, we cannot help but feel like we have too few occasions to interact with you!” Howl explained.

The werewolves’ and devilkin’s main activities were hunting and farming, and they were also helping the dragonkin and the godkin strengthen the relationships between all of the settlements. However, since they didn’t have unique skills like the other races, they were worried we would give preferential treatment to the others who had come before them.

“The lamias help you with your alchemy experiments; the centaurs raise cattle, grow crops, and look after the mythical beasts; the minotaurs and the oni-kin have started growing rice per your request; the multi-eyed demons help solve quarrels; the alraunes and the dryads take care of the forest and the medicinal herb gardens; the arachnes and the melissae can make beautiful fabric and high-quality honey... Everyone has unique things they can do!” Howl exclaimed.

Devalna nodded beside him, an anxious look on her face.

“So essentially, you guys want to be useful to us,” I summarized.

“Yes! Please give us something to do!”

I did occasionally hire individuals to work on administrative tasks or to help around in the mansion, but this wasn’t what Howl and Devalna wanted; they were hoping I could find something for all of the werewolves and devilkin to do.

“Hm, what to do, what to do...” I mumbled.

And here I thought werewolves and devilkin were low-maintenance compared to the other races...

“What are you going to do, Lady Witch?” Teto asked me.

“I don’t really know...”

Since they didn’t have any outstanding abilities in particular, there wasn’t a job that they could do better than anyone else. Take the godkin, for example; they could fly, meaning that they could easily travel to other countries, and were very pleasant to look at, which made it more agreeable for other merchants to agree to their terms. They had become indispensable to us, and it was highly unlikely we would ever kick them out of the Forest—both because they were some of the first demons who moved in, but also just from a profit standpoint—so we’d never need to replace them.
