Gender-swapped Saintess: A Survival Diary on Hell Difficulty

After lunch with Onio, it was already past midnight.

The restaurant's customer traffic has decreased significantly, and some of the staff have taken turns relaxing in the rest area prepared by Roland.

Most of the employees at Rotating Golden Sparrow are low-level succubi, with a mixed group of beast girls.

Among the beast girls, the fox clan is the most prominent, so their overall appearance is quite beautiful.

After escaping the cutthroat environment of Black Iron City and joining Rotating Golden Sparrow, they enjoyed ample food rations and a reasonable work schedule, and their physical and mental condition quickly improved.

Many underdeveloped individuals also returned to puberty, their breasts and buttocks gradually becoming fuller, subtly resembling Roland's figure.

As Roland passed by in the corridor, the girls in the rest area raised their hands and greeted her with bright smiles.

"Greetings, Lady Laura!"

"Hello, boss lady!"

"Hello, boss!"

They addressed Roland in different ways, but the respect in their tone was the same.

The newer employees, who had only been with the company for a short time, were rather reserved. They quickly stood up from the sofa and bowed respectfully to Roland.

However, the movement was a bit too large, and the tails of several magical races became entangled. Suddenly, this tug caused several delicate exclamations to escape.

Roland smiled gently and waved her hand slightly.

"No need for formalities, you can continue to rest. It's the weekend, and we'll be busy this afternoon."

"Okay~"

Amidst the grateful gazes of her employees, Roland flicked her tail, turned, and strode briskly toward the third floor.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed fox-eared girl patted her colleagues and reminded them.

"Hey, did you guys see that? Boss Laura seems to have a new ring?"

Upon hearing this, everyone recalled the gesture Roland had made earlier.

On the pale left ring finger, there was indeed a golden spatial ring, which was clearly different from the more plain one she usually wore.

Based solely on the crystal-clear, ring-shaped spatial crystal above, its price definitely exceeds the consumption limit of the lower city.

A succubus supervisor's eyes lit up with gossip. She instantly thought of the news that had happened at the second-floor aristocratic restaurant at noon and clapped her hands excitedly.

Snapped!

"I know, it was Master Onio from the Upper City who gave me the ring!"

"Master Onio? I think I've heard that name before..."

"Oh my, it's the magic master from Master Gray Gold's family. I heard he can casually make a magical item and it can fetch hundreds or even thousands of gold coins at auction!"

"Hundreds and thousands of gold coins! My god, I've never seen so much money in all my years of working!"

The succubus foreman clasped her hands together and said with an envious expression.

"It's not just about gold coins. Master Onio is an elder of the Grey Gold Family, and is considered Miss Laura's boss."

"Our boss is like a protagonist from a storybook. As a succubus, she can even get a big shot like Master Onio to throw herself at her. I also want beautiful girls to throw themselves at me..."

……

Roland was unaware of the employees' private gossip. Humming a cheerful tune, she walked to the office door on the third floor.

Having obtained a large-capacity spatial ring, the first task is to store items that contain personal secrets.

However, when she opened the door, she found an unexpected visitor in the office.

Tess, a goblin girl of human and descent with medium-length, lake-green bob hair, underdeveloped height, and a cute, slightly chubby face, sat on the sofa holding a milk bottle, taking sips now and then with a blissful smile.

On the oak coffee table in front of her was a list of logistics purchases, clearly intended for Roland to confirm and sign.

As the Spinning Finch expanded, she became Roland's deputy, sharing some of the management work for Roland's businesses.

The shopping list on the coffee table is part of her job.

With the arrival of the Church of Vulcan in Black Iron City, bringing with it a large amount of high-quality goods from the surface world, the number of outsiders in Black Iron City has surged recently. As a result, the business of the Golden Sparrow is booming, and the consumption of resources has also increased significantly.

The document submitted today contains more than 30% more content than usual.

However, Tess's attention was not on the documents; all her mind was focused on the bottle in her hands.

Beside her stood two identical empty glass bottles, their transparent walls completely clean and free of any liquid.

"Burp~"

Tess let out a short, satisfying burp, her breath infused with the rich aroma of milk, and a resolute look appeared in her eyes.

She has a grand dream: to work hard to build up her stomach capacity and drink up all of Miss Laura's stored old stock until one day she can drink warm, fresh products.

Seeing Tess's lingering expression, Roland, standing at the door, chuckled and reminded her.

"Tess, remember to wipe your lips with a tissue, they're stained."

"Alas!"

The sudden sound startled the goblin girl, who instinctively reached out and touched the empty glass bottle in front of her, storing it in her small, low-end spatial ring.

These milks are Miss Laura's secret!

As Miss Laura's loyal subordinate, I must not let any outsider discover anything amiss!

After clearing the glass bottles, Tess cautiously looked towards the doorway. Seeing that it was Roland standing there, she finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Roland chuckled, walked over and pressed Tess down as she tried to get up to bow, gently stroking the goblin girl's hair.

"Okay, don't be so nervous. The office has a recognition spell; no one but you and me can come in directly."

As she spoke, Roland casually pulled out a tissue, pinched Tess's chin and lifted it up, wiping the stains off her lips like a mother would, teasingly.

"Speaking of which, Tess, you can actually drink so much in one go. Do you really like this?"

Tess blushed slightly at Roland's maternal gesture, her eyes glazing over in a daze. Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure and nodded shyly.

Once her lips were wiped clean, she grabbed the magic drawing board hanging from her waist and began writing words on it at lightning speed.

"I like it. I feel very comfortable after drinking it, and I'm getting healthier and healthier."

Finally, she added a sentence.

"Thank you, Miss Laura."

"Ah...you're welcome."

Roland felt a little uncomfortable being thanked so earnestly.

After all, Tess was the only one who knew the origin of those products.

Whenever she thought about how she could actually nurture others, she felt that her inner sense of masculinity had been severely thwarted.

Even after living as a teenage girl for two years, I still can't get used to it.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that even the original girl wouldn't be used to this special ability, unless she's a cow-girl from the Southern Fire God Church territory, who would be able to accept it without surprise.

Fortunately, Tess, the only one who knows the secret, won't go around telling everyone. After all, she is a little mute and extremely loyal.

Just by standing in front of Tess, Roland could feel the little girl's deep admiration and the constant accumulation of faith points.

As a reward for the loyal little mute, she smiled and activated the brand-new golden space ring, placing an unopened baby bottle into Tess's arms.

"Drink as much as you like, don't be shy with me. There's no other way to consume it anyway, and long-term use can even improve your physique and talent."

"Although the increase is not significant, it is still a rare and valuable product on the market."

However, Tess was not happy about this.

She widened her large, lake-green eyes, her gaze falling on the new ring Roland was wearing. She opened her mouth but could only utter meaningless, hoarse murmurs.

She was unaware of what happened in the second-floor restaurant at noon, because the restaurant was packed with customers during lunchtime and she was too busy with work to gossip.

So she only overheard some whispers from the succubus supervisor on the second floor, the gist of which was...

Roland is being pursued by a powerful figure.

This is nothing new, because of Roland's beauty and intelligence, as well as her semi-noble status, quite a few nobles have come to try and develop a relationship with her.

However, Roland politely declined each time.

Therefore, Tess naturally assumed that this suitor would also be rejected by Roland.

But what's going on with this ring?!

Tess pouted, a strange sadness welling up inside her, and a sentence involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married.

P.S.: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, dear readers! OVO
