Gender-swapped Saintess: A Survival Diary on Hell Difficulty

Roland, her face grave, pondered a solution.

At that moment, Mint, who was rolling around on the bed, also saw Roland by the bedside.

The green-haired catgirl abruptly stopped moving, and the hissing in her throat gradually subsided, turning into terrified whimpers.

"Lo...Lady Roland!"

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

"I didn't drink the drug on purpose, I didn't want to, please don't abandon me, I will definitely quit!"

Mint lay on the bed, unable to support herself with her limbs, using only her chest and stomach to stay upright. She banged her head against the bed and kept kowtowing to Roland.

Her snot and tears soaked the sheet, making her look extremely disheveled.

Seeing this, Jenny stepped forward and explained to Roland.

"Miss Roland, I've looked into the information."

"In traditional tribes in the south, tribespeople who have taken bewitching herbs will be directly expelled by the chieftain to prevent them from harming other members of the tribe."

Now I know why Mint seemed so apprehensive.

Having finally escaped the hell of opening at 7 a.m., good days are just around the corner, and nobody wants to be abandoned.

However, Roland still had one question.

She first cast a healing spell to slightly alleviate Mint's pain, then looked at Patty, the catgirl accompanying her, and gave her an approachable smile.

"I remember you're Miss Patty, an employee of the greenhouse?"

"Yes, Lady Roland, you actually remember me!"

Patty was somewhat flattered.

Roland waved her hand to signal Patty to relax, then asked.

"Miss Patty, do you know what Mint went through when it opened at seven o'clock?"

"She seems to have consumed an exceptionally large amount of the Bewitching Herb potion; she was not only the first to experience withdrawal symptoms, but the reaction was also extremely severe."

Patty stared blankly for a few seconds, then finally just shook her head.

"Lady Roland, I'm not quite sure. She... is afraid to tell me what's inside."

"All I know is that she had a terrible time inside; her limbs were chopped off by customers, and she was dressed up as a puppy for amusement..."

Squeak—

Before she could finish speaking, the sound of the door opening came from behind her, and it was Mao Mai Mai who came in.

Wearing a cloak and mask that concealed her face, Maimai looked like a professional thief from a thieves' guild.

She walked closer to the center of the room and bowed slightly to Roland.

"Lady Roland, let me answer this question."

As she spoke, her eyes drifted to the green-haired catgirl on the bed.

The mint on the bed remained in the same bowing posture.

But the twitching in her shoulder showed that she was enduring immense pain, which even healing techniques could not fully alleviate.

Cat MaiMai's eyes showed guilt as she sighed.

"Mint was only forced to open at 7 o'clock after the Roland Group was established."

"She almost went back to Xinya Street with the group's deliveryman, just a hair's breadth away."

She stretched out her palm, her index finger almost touching her thumb, then released it, her voice muffled.

"Unfortunately, Bizan's order to blockade the smuggling ports was too decisive; by the time she tried to escape, it was too late."

"But she knows about the treatment at the Roland Group, she's even smelled the Krabby Patty and seen the group's delivery drivers eat it..."

Roland had already guessed what would happen next, and spoke up to pick up where Cat MaiMai left off.

"So Mint's resistance at the club was so fierce that she was used as a negative example by the Tiger-Skinned Nobles and subjected to the most cruel torture?"

"Yes, but it's not just abuse."

Cat Mai Mai nodded and added.

"Lord Tigerskin also gave her the most addictive potion, making Mint show her the ugliest form in front of her fellow countrymen."

"They used this method to warn other beast girls to keep their distance from the Roland Group and to prohibit the promotion of any positive topics about the Roland Group."

After remaining silent for a while, Jenny finally couldn't help but speak up.

"These tiger-skin nobles are truly beasts."

Roland glanced at Jenny with surprise, which made the quiet village girl lower her head in embarrassment.

Even the kind and simple-minded Jenny started swearing, which shows how despicable the management of the store that opened at seven o'clock is.

She thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of [Roland Brand Milk] from her spatial ring.

According to the information previously provided by Maomao, the addictive nature of the Bewitching Herb potion is primarily rooted in the soul and magic power, making it virtually impossible to quit.

Even if there are, one must endure more than ten backlashes from the soul and magic, and slowly recover through meditation.

This is almost impossible.

Just like the mint in front of her, only the first backlash had turned the once kind catgirl into this crazy state.

Not to mention calming down and meditating to adjust the magic cycle.

As for using mental magic to calm the mind, some people have tried it before, but it had no effect whatsoever.

When withdrawal symptoms occur, it's like a berserker, almost immune to mind control.

In this situation, a person will only be thinking about taking another bite, becoming oblivious to their own family and friends, and any mental magic will be useless.

Fortunately, Roland has magical milk that can nourish the soul and might even have a miraculous effect on the Bewitching Herb potion.

Roland reached out and flipped the mint over.

The struggling green-haired catgirl was completely naked, with only blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth leaving a glaring mark on her high breasts.

Mint instinctively tried to breathe on it and opened her mouth to bite Roland's wrist.

But upon seeing it was Roland, she abruptly stopped, gritting her teeth and forcing her muscles to relax, even her cat ears obediently drooping over her hair.

"No...you can't...bite..."

"It's Lady Roland...our savior...we must not attack her."

Roland sighed.

This poor child almost became an employee of the Roland Group, but failed to escape the blockade of the smuggling port at the last moment.

Just like the thirty-five beast girls who perished at the last moment on the smuggling boat that was supposed to reach the shore, it's truly a pity.

While maintaining the effects of the healing spell, Roland held the small green-haired catgirl in her arms.

The catgirl, having lost all four limbs, was so light-footed that she seemed as if a gust of wind could blow her over.

Held in Roland's arms, she immediately burst into tears, her tears and snot mingling together, her disheveled face seemingly telling a story of endless suffering.

"Waaaaah, Lady Roland, it really hurts!"

"I didn't do anything wrong."

"Why is Master Tiger Skin treating me like this...?"

Roland stroked the catgirl's hair, and with her mage hand, she poured milk into a bottle, just as she had done with the Tree Lady, and placed it to the catgirl's mouth.

"It's alright, Mint, be good."

"After drinking it, the pain will be gone. From now on, you can stay at the Roland Group and be a happy cat. No one will bully you."

Her overflowing maternal instincts captivated those around her.

Even the tentacle monster maid waiting in the corner of the room stopped moving her tentacles.

Only faint sobs and sucking sounds remained in the room.

Five minutes later.

Roland looked at Mint, who was still convulsing but trying her best to remain quiet despite the pain, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.

Milk had no effect.

The Bewitching Herb potion does not fall under the category of soul damage, nor is it even considered erosion or pollution.

It merely deformed and distorted the soul and magic, turning them into beasts craving potions.

"Sigh, I'll go think of another way."

Roland sighed, put the empty milk bottle back into her spatial ring, and looked at the tentacle monster girl dressed as a maid.

"Miss Frenia, could you please clean up this place? The sheets and blankets are stained with blood."

When the blue-haired tentacle monster girl heard Roland call her name, a joyful expression immediately appeared on her face, and she excitedly moved to Roland's side.

"Owner?"

"Frenia is so happy that you've finally agreed to use her!"

As it spoke, the tentacle affectionately pressed against Roland's arm.

Roland was somewhat taken aback by this enthusiasm, so she could only reach out and reluctantly touch the sticky tentacles.

"Alright, alright, calm down. Go make your beds. We'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

The skin-to-skin contact instantly made the tentacle monster girl tremble with excitement, her tentacles flailing wildly.

With a flick of her wrist, a tentacle lashed out at the green-haired catgirl in Roland's arms.

"ha!!!"

The catgirl was still in pain.

She was able to suppress her urge to attack when facing Roland.

But it didn't tolerate the tentacle monster girl at all, and immediately began to hiss, bristle, and bite.

Sharp teeth gnawed into the skin of the tentacle, sinking deep inside.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.

As the green-haired catgirl tore at the tentacles, her body gradually stopped trembling, and even her furrowed brows relaxed.

Even their furious eyes became clear.

She seems to be out of pain?
