Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?-Chapter 530: Greatest Alchemist? Auspicious Day

When I returned to the Sanctuary mansion with Sophia and Akane, there, Maria, Marnie, Laeva, Lulu-chan, and Kaede told me something even more surprising.

「Big news! Big news!」

「What is happening, Takumi-sama?」

「Sophia is pregnant!」

「Eh, me too.」

「Eh!?」

「And Marnie is too, by the way.」

「Yes. The Great Spirits had confirmed it so there is no doubt about it.」

「…………」

Three people at the same time………

「Uwaa! Sophia-san, congratulations to you too!」

「Earth to Takumi!」 freēnovelkiss.com

Bam!

Lulu-chan was jumping for joy. Akane hit me and brought my spirit back into my body.

「You got married to three people at one time, so it shouldn’t be strange if they conceive at the same time!」

「Y-you have a point.」

「And there’s other things you should be saying, right?」

「O-oh, yeah. Sophia, Maria, Marnie, thank you. You’ve made me a happy man.」

「「「Yes.」」」

But with how things are turning out, there’s a lot of things that I need to think about. First off, Sophia was always by my side guarding me, but now she needs to rest. Inevitably, Maria and Marnie also had to stay in the Sanctuary until they give birth to the babies.

When I looked at Maria and Marnie closely, they were crocheting something. Was it socks for the baby?

「If Akane and I have to discuss company things, are there any problems that could come up?」

「What will we do about Takumi-sama’s escort?」

Sophia brought up my escort before anything else.

When I first came to this world, I needed an escort while I did artisanal work. But when I mentioned that I was much stronger now so I might not need an escort, I was scolded intensely by the all the girls.

「Takumi-sama, did you forget that someone tried to assassinate you?」

「N-no, how could I ever forget?」

「Then you shouldn’t have said that you do not need an escort.」

「……I’m sorry.」

Remember how angry Sophia and Maria were at that time, I meekly apologized.

「Master, in the first place, I believe it is not advisable for you to walk around town without an escort.」

「Isn’t that exaggerating it too much?」

「It is not an exaggeration. Apart from the Sanctuary mansion, you have a large mansion in Volton, and you employ many maids. Do you think you still pass as a commoner?」

「No, I’m sorry.」

Even Sebastian and Maribelle voiced their opinions.

It was then that I was curious about why Sebastian was here. I had just received paperwork, so unless it was urgent, the man in question should have been in Volton.

「Huh? Why are you here, Sebastian? Do you have something to report?」

「I am not here to report. I will consult with Maribelle regarding the maids who would take care of the Madams in this auspicious time.」

Apparently, it is normal for a class that employs a number of servants to have a wet nurse who would take care of the child.

「However, as to be expected with there being three children coming at once, we would like to secure additional personnel. Do you have any objections to this?」

「Ah yeah, of course. This will be my first time with this, so I have no idea what should be done.」

It was pathetic, but when I was a salaryman in my forties, I never had the experience of having a child. I have absolutely no idea how to navigate this new path that I have never been through.

「Takumi, I will move things along with hiring personnel for the shop at the capital. So please hurry with creating the basement and a Gate connecting our place to the shop.」

「Sorry about that, Akane. I’ll have the basement and teleport gate done by the end of today.」

「It’s fine. I’m just as excited as the babies as everyone is. They’ll be like younger brothers and sisters.」

「Lulu will be a big sister nya.」

Akane began talking about what kind of names will be used. Wait wait, WE will decide the names. ……we will, right?

「Then Laeva will make a large amount of merchandise to fill the shop’s warehouse. Lave can only help out with this, after all.」

「Thank you as always, Laeva. I really appreciate your help.」

Laeva promptly headed to the workshop. She said she would do her best to provide a large amount merchandise, including the portion for the Papeck Company.

I have to establish a trading company and open a shop in the Royal Capital, but I don’t feel like I can do that anymore. It felt like only one person was in a dither.

Sebastian and Maribelle seem to have finished their discussion regarding the wet nurses.

「Now then, Master, please entrust the selection of the wet nurses to us. If necessary, Master and the Great Spirits may have to conduct interviews.」

The moment Maribelle said that, Sylph, Undine, and the others appeared.

「Leave that to us. Since a child with the blood of the House Sylphide will be born, it is time for me, the Great Wind Spirit, to take my turn.」

「Yes, it will be the child of the Keeper of the Sanctuary, who is the protector of the Spirit Tree. We will be the judge of the wet nurse’ disposition.」

「Right~ This gets me going~」

「If you entrust it to Nyx and I, it would be simple for us to discern the good or evil in a person.」

「……leave it to me.」

Aside from Gnome and Dryas, the five pillars of the Great Spirits Sylph, Undine, Dryas, Selene, and Nyx were all in high spirits.

「W-well, I do have a request.」

Their excessive enthusiasm is scary in itself, but I’m glad that they could be of help.

Immediately, Selene went to Sophia, Maria, and Marnie. Apparently, it was to check their due dates.

So that was possible.
