Gender-swapped Saintess: A Survival Diary on Hell Difficulty

Roland the dog sneaked back to the bedroom.

To prevent any accidents, Roland also carefully checked that the door was locked.

The last night raid by the sheep made her more vigilant.

In the future, if you're going to do something you're ashamed to be seen doing, make sure to lock the door.

After locking the door, she took out two bottles of [Roland Brand Milk] from her spatial ring.

The image on the left was obtained before unlocking [Intermediate Magic], and the image on the right was obtained after unlocking [Intermediate Magic].

From the outside, there is no difference.

However, the smells were completely different; the one obtained later clearly had a much stronger fragrance.

Although she used it herself, she couldn't experience the real deliciousness and effects.

But without a doubt, this thing also received an upgrade after the magic power was increased.

Not only in quality, but also in quantity, there has been an increase.

This gave Roland the idea of ​​using "Roland's Milk" to irrigate the Tree Lady.

"Sigh... I wonder how many bottles it would take to meet Ms. Tree's requirements. Is the growth of the Tree of Life always this troublesome?"

Roland scratched her head in annoyance and looked down at him worriedly for two seconds.

"Oh well, never mind."

"I can't just drink more hot water, can I? Nightingale has started to worry that something is wrong with my health lately."

……

The girl is at work.

Twenty minutes later, Roland opened the door and peeked out to observe the situation in the hallway.

After confirming that there were no clueless idiots like Yang Meimei, she pressed her ear to the door to eavesdrop before shaking off her clothes and walking out, heading straight to the rooftop garden.

The rooftop gardens today are infinitely better than they used to be.

If the previous scenes resembled fairy tales, now they're like high-quality cinematic visuals from "Red Dead Redemption 2".

It's the kind of thing that makes you feel like your expensive graphics card is about to start smoking just by looking at it.

The central Tree of Life, now over three meters tall, has catalyzed the growth of all the plants in the garden, including the animals, which have also benefited.

The entire garden seemed to have entered an endless spring, and... that included the animals as well.

Roland looked speechlessly at the two rabbits engaged in a harmonious act of life on the grass.

And thirteen rabbits doing the same thing on the other side of the grass...

Dude, isn't the quantity a bit off?

She couldn't keep her expression in check and couldn't help but complain.

"Does the Tree of Life have this function? It seems so unorthodox."

"What's wrong with this? Isn't this a picture full of life? More rabbits mean a bountiful harvest of meat."

A gentle voice reached her ears, and Roland turned her head to look.

Ms. Tree appeared behind Roland at some point, holding a handful of wheat, which she scattered within the rabbit's range.

It looks very much like the image of the Church of Life. If it were holding flowers instead of wheat, it would be even more so.

Roland greeted Ms. Tree when she saw her.

Good afternoon, Miss Tree. It's rare to see you out for a walk.

Ms. Shu smiled slightly and responded.

"Thanks to Miss Toloran, my growth rate has accelerated considerably during this period, and my work efficiency is getting higher and higher."

"I have so much more free time now."

Roland was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

"Has the growth rate accelerated?"

She hasn't done anything these past few days. The watering method is still the same farm manure she learned from her homeland, and the amount is about the same.

Seeing Roland's puzzled expression, Ms. Tree tilted her head as well.

"Yes, my growth rate has been significantly faster during this period than before, and my height has almost returned to normal."

As she spoke, she spun around in place.

She has now grown taller than Roland, who is 1.6 meters tall, and has reached 1.8 meters.

However, he still hasn't grown to his normal height.

She was, after all, a tree spirit, and among tree spirits, none were short... though that's not necessarily true.

I've heard that the tree spirits cultivated by the dwarves, even if their original forms are tall and large, will still be short when they transform into human form.

Maybe they were infected by the dwarves.

Aside from this type of tree spirit, most other tree spirits are over 1.8 meters tall.

As the highest-ranking [Harvest Tree Spirit], she is about 2.2 meters tall, a truly towering figure.

Looking at Ms. Tree, Roland couldn't help but sigh.

"You've grown so fast! When I first met you, you weren't even as tall as my knees."

"Can tree spirits really grow this fast?"

Ms. Tree shook her head.

"Of course not. I am a tree spirit that has been growing for many years. I am just gradually recovering my power."

As Ms. Shu spoke, she muttered to herself.

Transferring resources can also be considered a recovery, so there's nothing wrong with it, and it's not a lie.

She glanced at the spatial ring on Roland's hand and said meaningfully.

"This is all thanks to the potion you upgraded last week. If only we could get more of that potion."

"In less than half a month, I will be able to grow a division in the residential area of ​​the hot water workshop."

Roland understood this time.

Wasn't last week the time when she upgraded to [Intermediate Magic]?

It turns out that after the magic power was upgraded, even the farmyard manure was upgraded.

Look how tempted Ms. Tree is! I hope she never finds out what she's using to water it.

No, we use this to water our vegetables back on Earth. Maybe the tree spirits wouldn't mind?

Roland offered herself a brief consolation, then looked at Ms. Tree and continued the conversation.

"Miss Tree, I've come today specifically to discuss upgrading the potion."

"In fact, I upgraded the potion again, making it even more potent than last week's."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Shu immediately became interested.

"There's...there's something even more amazing?"

This thing is so amazing, it has been upgraded and broken through in just a few days. Is this little nun some kind of once-in-a-century magic potion genius?

Roland put on a serious face and nodded.

"Yes, this shipment is quite substantial; compared to this, the previous shipments were just scraps."

"However, this potion is too concentrated and the quantity is too small. Could it cause problems like the tree roots being burned?"

Roland wasn't actually worried about burning the roots; she was using this method to remind Ms. Tree.

【Roland Brand Milk】is extremely precious. If you drink it, do not lie about military intelligence to trick others into giving you magic potions.

Ms. Tree waved her hand.

"How could that be? You're underestimating the tree spirit."

"Tree spirits accept any potion that is beneficial to humans, and they are even more tolerant of it."

Relieved, Roland walked to the base of the tree and turned back to speak.

"Then, Miss Tree, let's stick to the usual arrangement. Please excuse us for now."

"Okay~"

Ms. Tree walked to the other side of the garden, just like last time.

Roland also took out Caryl's pendant, which triggered a shielding spell, forming a circular shielding barrier.

"Even though we don't use farmyard manure anymore, we'll still pretend to."

Roland muttered a couple of words, then took out the upgraded [Roland Brand Milk] from her spatial ring.

Above Roland, the vine closest to her suddenly twisted as if it were a conscious tentacle.

……

With the help of specially grown sensory tentacles.

Ms. Tree, standing in the distance, watched Roland's actions with utter bewilderment.

How could a seemingly ordinary, unremarkable potion work on a high-level tree spirit like her?

However, her expression froze the moment Roland poured the potion.

Wait a minute! Something doesn't feel right...

"Oh my gosh!"

"Wow, this potion is so, so, so amazing!"
