Reincarnated as a Flower, Fine then I'll bloom my own way-Chapter 45 - 43: Money, Money, Rich, Rich!!

"I heard Lady Sumi is back!" The mayor burst through the door, his voice filled with excitement.

I looked up and greeted him with a soft tone. "Oh, hey, Mayor!"

He beamed at me, his smile wide and genuine. "Lady Sumi! I have so much good news for you!"

I tilted my head curiously. "Good news?"

He nodded vigorously. "I'll call the others!" Without waiting for a response, he rushed back outside.

I stood there silently, processing his enthusiasm. From beside me, Bokkon spoke up. "We were hoping you'd return, so we didn't tell anyone about your disappearance."

I glanced at him and nodded. "Oh, I see."

I turned and walked over to the couch, sitting down comfortably. Bokkon, Aurthor, Yooto, and Lunara also sit in their couch, while Gearor stood to the side. "I have some work to attend to, so I'll be going now," he said, bowing slightly.

I nodded. "Alright, you can go."

With that, Gearor faded into the air, leaving the rest of us to wait for the mayor and the others. The four of them began chatting excitedly about their new abilities, their voices filled with awe and curiosity.

After a moment, the mayor returned, accompanied by the elder elf and a two humans. They stood before me and knelt respectfully. "Lady Sumi, welcome back," the elder elf said, his voice warm and reverent.

I gestured for them to sit. "Take a seat and tell me everything."

They moved to the couches and settled in. The mayor began, "At first, please meet them." He gestured to two human girls standing nearby. Both had light red hair and yellow eyes, wearing identical silver armor with dark patterns and white capes adorned with a flower logo. They looked almost identical, except for one noticeable difference—their chest sizes.

"Are you two twins?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.

They nodded in unison. The girl with the larger chest spoke first. "Yes, you're right. We're twin sisters. My name is Himiko Suzu, and this is Hinari Suzu."

I glanced between them, a thought crossing my mind. *(I'll just call them Big Boobs and Medium Boobs...)*

The mayor continued, his voice filled with pride. "These two were former generals in the Darkon Kingdom. They're incredibly strong—they've already killed some monsters that appeared in the farming fields."

"Oh?" I said, raising an eyebrow. Just then, Aries' voice echoed in my mind.

**[Notice: They possess a large mana pool. Combined, their mana exceeds even Aurthor and Bokkon's. It appears they specialize in elemental magic.]**

My eyes widened slightly. "I see. Thank you for protecting our people."

The mayor nodded. "They've wanted to meet you for a long time, but you were away. So, I brought them with me today."

I turned to the twins, my curiosity growing. "Is that so? May I ask why you wanted to meet me?"

Hinari spoke softly, her voice tinged with gratitude. "First, we'd like to thank you for freeing us from the Darkon Kingdom. That place... it was a living hell for us."

Himiko added, her tone firm, "We've decided to serve you and Paradise Garden from now on."

I smiled warmly. "I see. That's wonderful news for us."

But then, their expressions shifted to something more serious. "We challenge you to a mock battle," they said in unison.

The room fell silent, everyone staring at them in surprise. The mayor chuckled nervously. "Well, they've been saying that from the beginning. They wanted a chance to fight our Goddess of Paradise."

I grinned, my confidence shining through.

"I see. How could I possibly turn them down?"

Bokkon and Aurthor exchanged uneasy glances, their minds undoubtedly flashing back to their own mock battle with me. They began sweating nervously.

Before the battle could begin, I turned back to the mayor. "But first, what's the other news?"

His face lit up with pride. "A few days ago, while mining, we found... gold."

My eyes widened. "Really?"

He nodded enthusiastically. "Yes."

*(I thought the gold deposits were too deep and would take at least a month to reach...)* I thought to myself.

The mayor continued, "All thanks to the elves."

I looked at him, confused. The elder elf chimed in, "We elves have extensive knowledge of ores and minerals. We know the conditions and locations where they can be found. That's how we located the gold."

I smiled, impressed. "I see. Thank you very much. So, how much did you find?"

The mayor and elder elf exchanged smirks before announcing, "Worth 50,000 gold coins."

*(50,000 gold coins? Let me...)* I thought, but Aries interrupted.

**[One gold coin is equivalent to $2,100. 50,000 gold coins amount to $105 million.]**

My jaw dropped. "Ehh!!"

The elder elf continued, "We've collected them and haven't used any yet. We were waiting for your orders."

I closed my eyes, deep in thought. *(With that amount, we can hire talented builders and blacksmiths from the Stellar Kingdom and focus on our own development...)*

I opened my eyes and asked, "How about farming? How's that going?"

The mayor replied, "At least 37 farms are completed, and the farmers are doing their best."

*(Hmm, that should be enough for both exporting fruits and keeping some for ourselves.)* I nodded, satisfied.

"You've all done really good work. I'm truly happy. Thank you, everyone."

They smiled back at me. "It's all thanks to you, Lady Sumi."

I stood up, my gaze shifting to the twins. In a confident voice, I said, "So... Himiko, Hinari, are you ready?"

They exchanged glances, then smiled back at me. "Yes."
