I took a deep breath.
"Sorry, Worriesgone, but you can't beco a Nurse Bee."
The young bee's shoulders fell.
"Really? It's because I'm so weak, right?"
"No!" I raised a victorious finger in the air. "It's because you are so talented at drawing! You and your sisters have practiced drawing for days—for longer than any other bee spends training! Since the entire pandemic, your 'well wishes', your drawings, have raised spirits of the entire Bee Empire, increasing everybody's productivity!"
Worriesgone's jaw fell. She was listening to my speech with wide eyes.
I grabbed the nearest drawing—the unfinished one she was making before my arrival—and raised it over my head.
"Look at this! As the Emperor of Bee-kind, I can't just waste skills and talents like yours! I wish everybody could do the job they are best suited for, but I humbly ask that you, Worries gone, beco a different bee instead."
"A… different bee?"
"Yes. An Artist Bee!"
〔Artist Bee〕: increases chances for legendary inspiration by 1%.
"An Artist Bee? Father, but what's an artist? All I was doing was drawing well wishes! Does that make … an 'artist'?"
"Of course! Drawing is art. Playing music on that drum you had in the common room is art. Even dancing is art! And art is very important for all cultures. It raises everybody's spirit and makes days less bleak. When people are happy, they are healthier and work better, too!"
While Worriesgone was digesting this information, I drilled the window with system information that still floated near .
'What kind of bonus is that? 1%, seriously? What's even a 'legendary inspiration?'"
