Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?-Chapter 505: Various Games

The transmutation of the Games Room finished in an instant. Flattening the ground was actually more time consuming.

With the games room completed, I made the things I had in mind at the workshop.

It was a billiards table.

I was a middle-aged man in my old life, so while it was a popular game played by the generation older than me, I still played it a few times. I had also seen the movie Hustler. That said, all I know is nine ball, eight ball, and rotation. But those should be enough to play during my free time.

After taking out wood and cloth from my Item Box, I imagined a table with six pockets lined with green felt, and the billiards table was completed.

I transmuted materials into the balls and the cue stick, and painted the numbers onto the balls.

Ah, riiight riiiight, we also need the frame to line up the balls.

I nearly forgot about the frame to line up the balls neatly. Oh yeah, I remember the pointed end of the cue stick was leather. I think they rubbed some kind of chalk on it too.

I created several cue sticks by changing its materials. There were ridiculously expensive cue stick brands like the Balabushka, and while this doesnt come close to that, Its still pretty good to play with.

Now that Im done with billiards, lets move on to the next game.

I didnt really feel like building a lot more billiards tables, so I thought I should make a few types of games instead.

Theres still a lot of free space in the games room, so I decided to make a table tennis table.

A table tennis table is simple so transmuting it only took an instant, but Im then confronted by the issue of creating the ping pong balls for it.

Ohh! What are you making this time?

Hm? Ahh, its you, Laeva.

As I was deep in thought with my arms folded, Laeva came into the workshop..

This table feels quite cheap.

Yeah, this is a table tennis table.

A table tennis table?

There was no way she could understand what a table tennis table is when table tennis itself didnt exist in this world, so I thoroughly explained it to Laeva.

I see. Is that building a games room? Then is it okay if Laeva makes something too?

Of course youre welcome to. Its more fun when theres a variety to be had, after all.

Roger!

The ping pong balls were made by transmuting monster bones and had been enchanted it so it wouldnt break from some impact.

After that, I struggled with the rubber of the paddles, but I managed to get it looking somewhat like it.

I made a lot of rackets and ping pong balls.

Laeva was making the darts that I stopped making. However, darts were an atrocious throwing weapon, so I gave her some advice on that.

I made a small table and a set of four chairs.

The table was square and had been covered in a slippery cloth.

Next, I transmuted 136 tiles using monster bones. This time, I made sure to have a solid image of the designs as I transmute.

My experience of going into a mahjong parlor was not in vain.

I changed the pattern of each dot and line without coloring them in. To think my deviant school life would be useful.

I also created the scoring sticks and dices.

I didnt make these one by one either, but all at once.

Okay, lets add them to the games room?

Understood!

Once I had stored everything into my Item Box, I headed to the newly constructed games room with Laeva.

Takumi-sama, may I use this wall?

Okay. Then Ill put the billiards table over here. Maybe Ill line up the cue sticks on this wall.

As Laeva and I talked about it, we decided on where to place each sport so they wouldnt interfere with the other games.

Ah, isnt that table tennis!? Ive only ever played it at the hot springs!

Is this for a throwing practice?

Is this a rally of balls?

As if waiting for Laeva and I to finish setting the games up, Akane, Sophia, and Lulu-chan entered the games room.

Ill explain how to play each game for now. Could you call Mabel and the others? Id like for the maids to use them too.

After that, Maria, Mabel, and the others had also gathered in the games room, so I started explaining how to play billiards first, then table tennis, darts, and finally, mahjong.

As to be expected, I couldnt teach mahjong clearly, so I made a rule book. The scoring system was also complicated.

From that day on, the games room of our mansion always had someone playing it late into the night, even dragging Princess Mimir and her attendants into it.

Of course, even the three also have fun in their time outside of work.
