Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 547: Grand Unveiling

The babies’ debut was settled a week later.

I was opposed to introducing the babies were who were not even one month old to a multitude of people, but Sylph and the others said that it wasn’t reckless if done within the Sanctuary.

「Takumi, you’re too fussy. We, the Great Spirits, have bestowed our blessings upon them.」

「……yes. We will protect them.」

Even Selene and Nyx had given their stamp of approval. Wouldn’t it be better if it was at least two months after? was what I was thinking though.

Then on the third day, four days before the feast, Sylph said that the Wind Spirits were so overjoyed that an offspring was born to Yggurle Kingdom’s Sylphide family, and that Dante-san was coming all the way to the Sanctuary to meet Etoile.

「Jeez! That guy! Neglecting the territory to come!」

「Wait, is it not about time you head home, Mother?」

「What are you saying, Sophia? Do you want me to live a life where I can’t see Etoile’s adorable face?」

When Freesia-san heard that Dante-san was coming to the Sanctuary, she uttered words that made me doubt if she was a noble lady. Hearing this, Sophia suggested that it was nearly time for her to return, but she really doesn’t want to go home at all.

One shouldn’t interfere with a parent-child conversations, right?

I went around the Sanctuary to work on the banquet preparations.

In the breweries, barrels of wine, ale, and whiskey were being selected. Gnome and Golan-san were in charge of this.

And at the plaza in the central district where the Spirit Tree and my mansion were located, the Dwarves made tables and chairs.

The priests of the Genesis Faith who were able to pass through the barrier were cleaning and decorating the Sanctuary’s one and only cathedral. The feast will begin at the church with a report and show of gratitude to Goddess Norn.

The mermaids led by Fluna-san were doing their best to secure seafood for the feast.

And from the building that houses the gate that connects to the Sky Island, the Aligerous Tribe hauled the meat of the game they hunted. Their chief, Valkan-san, was overseeing them.

Valzac-san and Berkut were also there. I’m almost certain that Vart-kun and Valto-kun were also working hard somewhere.

It appears the Aligerous Tribe will also be fully participating in the banquet.

Vanga-san, who also resides in the Sanctuary, was also hunting.

Martha-san gathered with the women to help prepare for the feast. I heard they were preparing time-consuming dishes and also making smoked meats and sausages from the captured game. They were also making sweets that would keep for long periods of time for the Sanctuary children.

In the Concert Hall, musicians were practicing with their instruments. They were rehearsing for the feast.

And, I feel apologetic and grateful for this, but everyone was preparing gifs to celebrate the birth of our newborn children.

In the Sanctuary, when it comes to gifts, it’s usually agricultural products or marine products, as well as woodwork and medicinal plants though. That’s because I’m involved with most of the Sanctuary’s products. It couldn’t be helped.

It wasn’t only food and drinks that were prepared. Plates, cups, knives, and forks were also needed in large quantities.

The Dwarves and Elves worked together to make them as well. I could have also made them all at once using Alchemy, but this feast was to congratulate me as well, so they said that I shouldn’t be involved with the preparations if I could.

And so, while I was making my rounds around the Sanctuary, I received word that Dante-san’s carriage had arrived in at the entrance of the Sanctuary.

「What will you do? I had let him pass the first gate, but you want to meet him, don’t you?」

「Thanks, Sylph. I’ll meet him after speaking with Freesia-san.」

Using Tsubaki’s carriage, I headed to the the outer district where the Lodge is located near the entrance to the Sanctuary.

「I’m sorry about this, Takumi-kun. I’ve troubled you by making you come out to pick me up.」

「Not at all, Dante-san, you are my Father-in-law, so please do not think that you are a bother.」

「You really are kind, Takumi-kun. You should have just let that guy pass through the gate and walk.」

「Ha, haha……」

Freesia-san was displeased because she hated being away from Etoile for even a moment. At first, she even said that there was no need to pick him up.

But it would take a long time to walk from the entrance all the way to the central district. Perhaps Freesia-san wasn’t being serious…… she wasn’t, right?

After securing accommodations for Dante-san, his coachman, and his guard, we returned to the mansion with Dante-san.

「…………」

「………………」

The atmosphere was heavy in the carriage.

Freesia-san was displeased, and Dante-san was uncomfortable. What should I do?
