Just a few days after our alliance, Aurthor sent so people to Paradise Garden to help with our developnt. But the first thing they did was...
They ca to my church while I was sleeping, bowed down, and started to worship . There were fifteen of them in total.
"...Guys...?" I said softly.
"Lady Sumi, it's a great pleasure to et you," one of them spoke.
"I can't believe I'm speaking with a Goddess herself," another added.
"Guys, you don't need to—" I tried to say, but another interrupted.
"We are ready to follow any order you give us."
"Yes! We will do anything for you!"
I closed my eyes and gave a small smile. In my mind, I thought:
(I thought it would be hard to convince them to work for , but it looks like I don't have to do anything.)
[Indeed, looks like you've beco quite famous outside Paradise Garden too,] Aries spoke.
(Y-yeah, looks like it,) I replied, then spoke softly, "I appreciate you all coming this far to help and my people. We will treat you respectfully as our guests."
Their eyes lit up with happiness.
"She's so cute!" one of them whispered.
"No, she's beautiful!" another said.
(...I feel awkward here...) I thought.
[You are a God to them, rember?] Aries said.
(I'm just a flower, though...)
"I wish you all the best of luck with your work," I said gently before vanishing.

I reappeared near the farms, where Beastman farrs and human farrs were working together. The humans were teaching the Beastn how to grow fruits and vegetables more efficiently. As I walked closer, one of the human won saw . Her eyes widened, and a big smile appeared on her face.
"Ladyyyyy Sumiiiiii!!!!" she scread, dashing toward .
She had short brown hair and dark eyes and wore the leather pants and white shirt I made for her. When she reached , she dropped to her knees and bowed. The other farrs, seeing , followed her and kneed down
(...Why do they keep doing this?) I asked in my mind.
[You are a God to them, rember?] Aries repeated.
(I'm just a flower, though...)I repeat too
"You don't have to bow," I said softly. "Rena, raise your head."
Rena lifted her head with a bright smile. The others stood up and resud their work.
"Hey, hey, Lady Sumi! Today I taught them how to make magic-based bone al!" Rena said excitedly.
"Oh... I see," I responded. (Is she trying to get praised?)
"Uhh... very good, Rena. You did a good j-job," I said, my voice soft and uncertain.
"Yayyy! Lady Sumi praised m—" she started, but a flying basket hit her head mid-sentence.
She fell forward with a groan. I turned to see a man walking toward us. He had short black hair, dark eyes, a sharp jawline, half pants, a t-shirt, and slippers I made for him.
"Why are you here instead of doing your work, Rena?" he asked.
Rena puffed her cheeks in frustration. "I was just talking to Lady Sumi!"
"Have you finished teaching them how to use the magic bone al?" he asked.
"Well... that's..." Rena tried to say sothing
"Useless," the man muttered, then knelt on one knee and bowed. "Good morning, Lady Sumi. I'm surprised to see you this early today."
(Surprised? Is he saying I sleep too much?)
"You're doing well, Velour. You're a good leader and teacher," I said softly.
"I'm only doing my job. Beside If it weren't for you, our lives would have no aning," he replied.
(Oh, right... These human farrs were once suspected of being murderers and criminals. They were just talented farrs frad by jealous rivals. Aurthor told about them, and when I used True Appraisal, I confird they were innocent. I brought them here to start anew. And... apparently these two Rena and Velour are a couple. Lovely dovey birds.)
"If we keep it up, we'll have a bountiful harvest this season," I said.
A female Beastman approached. "Lady Sumi, we need rain to soften the soil for planting."
"I see. Don't worry." I replied
I raised my right hand. "Weather Control—Rain."
Dark clouds appeared above the farm, and soon rain fell—only on the farmland.
"Woahhh!" Rena gasped in amazent.
"Thank you very much, Lady Sumi," the Beastman said before returning to work.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in my mind.
(Lady Sumi, are you there?)
(Yes, Bokkon. What is it?) I replied
(He's here. At the church,) Bokkon said.
(I see. I'll be there soon.) I replied to Bokkon
I vanished from the farm and reappeared at the head of the huge training ground. The field was filled with young and adult Beastman practicing with humans under the guidance of Jekkob Daihart, the fifth general of the Stellar Royal Army and Aurthor's personal bodyguard. And as for Bokkon I decided to personally train him because I saw great potential in him. I also established a telepathic link between , Bokkon, and Fareo—the mayor of Paradise Garden.
(Speaking of Fareo... where is he now?)
Across the training field, I spotted Fareo in a corner, drinking fruit alcohol with so Beastn and humans.
"Wh- that old man!, That alcohol wasn't ant for that...!" I whispered to myself, frustrated.
Jekkob saw and imdiately knelt. The others saw and followed him bye kneeing down. I gave a soft nod and vanished again.
---
I appeared inside the church and sat on the couch. Bokkon stood beside , wearing a pitch-black coat and gloves, his red hair long and his blue eyes glowing faintly. A black Japanese sword aka a katana rested on his back.
(I decided to make it from my past life mories)
Across from us, seated in a chair, was a man.
"So... what brings you here, Gearor?" I asked softly.
Gearor placed a brown paper-wrapped package tied with a red ribbon on the table.
"There is a very important notice for you," he said.
