Chapter 49: Paperwork and Invitation

While I’m in the carriage, I start to review some documents that I just received, which Elena seems to have sent through some kind of spatial magic.

“Must be important…” I open the letter that came with the documents.

[To Pandora.

Pandora, I believe this matter is of great importance, so I’m sending this letter along with some documents.

As taught in one of your classes, all the records that we demons have accumulated are stored in a library located on a flying island, and to go to this island, you need permission, since the monster who owns the library does not allow just anyone to enter.

He was the one who taught your sister to transform into her monster form and also controls her, so I took the liberty of contacting him to try to convince him to help you. Fortunately, he agreed.

However, he said he won’t do it now, and that he’ll only have time to train you in 5 months, so I’d like to give you advance notice that your training with him will begin in July.

If you fully awaken your monster form, the chances of your status being unlocked are considerable.

Switching topics, the documents I just sent are related to the castle’s provisions, the construction of a church near the castle, and most importantly, the approval of recruitment for the formation of a complete army.

This army will be united with the armies of Thalor, Freya, and Calypso, so we need your approval to start this.

Sincerely, Elena.]

“Hmm… An army, huh… Doesn’t sound like a bad idea, but I’ll have to think about it carefully.” Forming an army seems great, but there are provisions, accommodations, training, and all that costs a lot of money.

“A church… must be Lilith’s request, I’ll think about that later. First, I’ll check on the castle’s provisions and the demons’ agriculture.”

I grab the provisions report.

“A 200% increase in the harvest… Why such a big increase?” I start looking deeper into this matter. The previous increases had been a maximum of 20%, so I soon find what we’ve been planting.

“… Is this a type of monster?”

Crevira = An apparently harmless plant with blade-sharp leaves. When harvested correctly, it provides a resin that can be used in many foods to preserve them.

Cardospira = A cactus that expels poisonous thorns when threatened. Its succulent fruits are a source of raw magical energy, making it a great food source.

Varitira = A plant that looks like an apple tree but releases toxins around it. Its succulent fruits are a great food source in large quantities.

Coffin Plant = A small seedling that grows into a carnivorous tree. Initially, it consumes insects and small animals, but in its mature phase, it attacks any creature large enough to feed its magical roots. They are usually trained from an early age not to attack, so their roots are an excellent natural food due to the high quantity produced.

Mana Devouring Plant = A small plant that devours mana from everything it touches. When killed, its leaves can be used as a spicy ingredient for meals.

Mana Devouring Plant Adult Form = After consuming enough mana, it evolves and becomes able to absorb ambient mana, generating a type of completely white rice that has a great amount of magic, being one of the common meals of demons.

Sea Cucumber = A marine monster that resembles a cucumber. They reproduce like pests, but they have a great taste, although they are slightly poisonous.

Demonic Apple Tree = A plant that generates poisoned apples. Although the fruit is usually not edible, its seeds are perfect for making sweets.

Fire Cypress = A plant that grows in extremely hot soils. Its fruits resemble pears and provide a slight magic buff. It is usually used in salads.

Blue Marticura = A black-colored flower that feeds on blood. In its roots, a great blue-colored fruit grows that has a slightly sour and sweet flavor.

Night Poison = A small tree of 1.50 meters that generates small grape-like fruits. They are not very tasty, but they grow quickly, and their poison is weak.

Black Aniliritia = A small plant that generates a fruit similar to a watermelon. Its peel has a black color, while the inside is red like blood.

Water Viziria = A plant that generates cereals with a great amount of vitamins and minerals, being the equivalent to the amount of several other plants.

Red Vazilirios = A plant with large amounts of protein. Its grains are roasted and have a great ability to keep someone awake.

’Almost all the plants are actually monsters.’ Now it makes sense why there was such an increase in food production. All the monster plants have become stronger with my birth, so the monster plant production has increased.

’These plants… Some are literally identical to modern-world foods, apart from the appearance and a few other things.’ I noticed this right away, and my mind connects what each plant reminds me of.

The Red Vazilirios are similar to coffee, the Black Aniliritia is literally watermelon of a different color, the Night Poison is practically normal grapes, the Fire Cypress is the demon’s pear.

An apple tree and the Demonic Apple Tree are practically the same, and besides, the seed of this apple tree isn’t similar to cocoa?

The Mana Devouring Plant and the Mana Devouring Plant Adult Form are literally rice and pepper, but with magic?

The Coffin Plant reminds me a lot of cassava if they’re white, it will literally be cassava.

“I see here that they all have different soils… It seems that each one comes from one of the 4 divisions of my territory, complicated… I see that I have other plants, but for the most part, these are the ones with the best results…”

There are several others that remind me of carrots, tomatoes, onions, garlic, lettuce, etc. There are many, but the main differences between them and human fruits and vegetables are their colors, their trees, the fact that they have magic, and the fact that most have poison.

’I guess most demons have poison resistance…’ In the demonic territory, almost all foods have poison. However, it’s clear that you can remove the poison from most of them, after all, the dragons had a non-poisonous meal.

This just shows that the fact that they don’t do business with demons is pure prejudice from most races, after all, although I know that demons really have more aggressive ideas, they are still very civilized and organized.

Demons in all our history have never tried to impose their religion above others. We can be aggressive and territorial, but we’ve never attempted global expansion or domination in the beginning.

It was mainly other races that started it, although I can’t say the same for my own race, which are monsters, since monsters have always gone out destroying everything without caring about anything else, but that’s a different matter.

“Doesn’t matter… If they don’t like us, fuck them, we don’t need anyone to stay alive.” I start signing some of the papers and denying others. Not all are good deals, either because the planting area is not good or because of a monster infestation problem.

“What’s this?” I look at another of the papers, it seems to be an invitation.

[To His Majesty the Demon King.

Hello your Majesty, I send this letter as a representative of the succubi to cordially invite you to a party in my territory.

Officially speaking, I would love for your Majesty to attend this party so we can talk, whether about business, wars… or if you want, we can have a great spicy night in my bedroom~

The party will take place in 2 days at the main mansion of the succubi territory. The dress code for the party is cordial attire, and the theme of the party is a celebration of the resolution of a troublesome problem from years ago that has finally been resolved.

Sincerely, Queen of the Succubi (Kiss)]

“Elena’s mother… she’s more naughty than I thought.” She kissed the end of the letter, and also invited me to bed with her.

“I think this makes it easier…” I had already thought about fucking Elena’s mother along with Elena, so this invitation makes it all easier by showing that she is interested.

“…”

’Better she doesn’t try to jump the fence.’ If, at the moment when I’m with Elena’s mother as mine, I find out that she went to the arms of another person, I will make her pay dearly.

“But it’s a shame… I won’t go to this party. Does she think I’m a slacker? If she wants me to go to something like this, then she should come and invite me in person.”

Since it’s a letter, I’ll just deny it. I have a lot to do, whether in the politics of my kingdom, in my training, or in learning new knowledge.

I sign the letter saying I won’t go, and I notice that all the signed letters and papers are teleported as soon as I sign or deny them.

“I think I want coffee… yes, a nice cup of coffee sounds good… but I don’t like coffee…” Drinking something while signing papers seems like a great idea, but I don’t like coffee, and I don’t need the caffeine.

“I don’t like tea… it’s just hot water with something in it, usually it doesn’t even have a taste or has a bitter taste…” I’m thinking about what can be good to drink during my work.

“Hot chocolate? Sounds good… but a bit old-fashioned, the weather is hot, so this type of drink is strange for the current season.” I deny this possibility, although I like sweets.

“… Blood… but whose? I guess it has to be something different from a human.”

I start thinking about the possibilities.

“Maybe elf blood? Or dragon blood? Mermaids also seem interesting… what would the taste of a dwarf be like?… I’ll have to ask my servants to get me beings from each race so I can try them.”

I noticed now that I’ve never eaten most of the races.

“Yes… I need to try all the races before deciding, maybe a cat girl could be a great choice too… and why in a cup? I can drink it straight from the living being… then it needs to have an appealing appearance…”

The idea of a cat girl seems very good, especially because it’s a cute animal.

“… I’m straying from the subject, I need to finish signing everything quickly instead of thinking about something that hasn’t happened yet. I’ll think about it before going to bed.”

I turn my attention back to the papers.

This will be a long night approving things, signing papers, denying things, and above all, a time to “play” a little in bed, since I won’t be able to do that at the academy.
