Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 535: Freesia-san Visits

With the paper diaper complete, I made a large quantity in various sizes, and then I started wondering if I’d need baby wipes to clean their butts.

I wonder what the people of this world do? Were they really just using wet cloths?

However, it’s not good to have too much trash. There’s also the issue of resources.

「Hey, come to think of it, do we need tissues?」

When I was resting in the living room, I tried asking everyone.

「Ahh, tissues.」

「What are tissues nya?」

Akane was Japanese, so she was living a life that required tissues, but ever since coming to this world, she had apparently gotten by using Purification Magic. That was the same for me. Lulu-chan seemed to not know the word “tissues”.

「It’s really late saying this, but I’d be really happy if it exists.」

「I would also appreciate it.」

「If it’s limited to within the Sanctuary, I think there’s no problem. I also want to use it.」

Akane, Sophia, Maria, Marnie, and the rest reached an opinion. However, just as Marnie had said, it would be best if limit it to within the Sanctuary.

Even the people of this world want to use things that are handy. Tissues linked to the depletion of the forest resources was a problem that is negated by Dryas being in the Sanctuary. Similarly, there was no concern with a forest monster nest depleting either. Influenced by the dense mana, the growth of the trees in monster nests was fast. It was at a level that wouldn’t be strange to treat them like monsters too. Isn’t this exactly how Treants were born from these trees?

「I would like to prepare a pleasant environment for the unborn children.」

「Yes, I am of the same thought.」

「In the lacking village of the Rabbitkin, it was a given that the children were born in a poor environment, but I would want children to have better circumstances.」

Sophia, Maria, and Marnie appear to be doing everything they could for their own child without any restraint. They had decided to not hold back when it comes to items that would benefit the children who will be born in the Sanctuary.

As I was having such conversations while drinking tea with everyone, Sylph suddenly appeared.

「Uwaa, Sylph, if you’re coming over then use the door.」

「I’m in a hurry. Sophia, your mother is coming.」

「Eh, ………Mother is? She is coming?」

The sudden information that Sylph announced had left Sophia in a rare bout of confusion.

「She was bound to come.」

According to Sylph, Freesia-san was jumping for joy upon learning of Sophia’s pregnancy from the Spirits. Learning this, Sophia’s mother, Freesia-san, hurriedly packed her things to set off for the Sanctuary.

「Even though the number of monsters around the Sanctuary had decreased, isn’t it dangerous?」

「She had properly arranged for hired escorts so she would be fine. If Freesia was in danger, I just have to bring Takumi there, no?」

「Then how about we go out to meet her?」

「Right, we don’t know if the guards and the coachman would be able to enter the Sanctuary either.」

I proposed going to meet her halfway just in case. Freesia-san was my mother-in-law after all.

「Takumi-sama, I’m sorry.」

「What, she’s my mother-in-law.」

I left the mansion, took the carriage out of the Item Box, then summoned Tsubaki from the Subspace.

『Burururu』

I fastened Tsubaki onto the carriage as she nudged her nose on it, and then we drove off with Sylph and Kaede.

「Tsubaki, we’re heading towards Freesia-san’s carriage. You don’t have to run that fast.」

『Understood, Master.』

Tsubaki cantered inside the Sanctuary, but picked up the pace as soon as we stepped out of the Sanctuary.

In typical Tsubaki fashion, she was cruising, but it was incomparably faster than a Demon Horse-drawn carriage.

「Ah, I can see her already. Why are they in such a rush?」

「Oh, you’re right. Freesia-san is definitely inside that carriage.」

「Yes, there’s no doubt about it.」

Sylph pointed towards a moving carriage she had found. That was definitely the carriage that Freesia-san was certainly aboard.

As Tsubaki pulled up to the carriage, the opposite carriage slowed down to a stop.

When I alighted the carriage, the elven adventurer guarding the other carriage, and was then followed by Freesia-san.

「Long time no see, Freesia-san.」

「Takumi-chan! Well done!」

「T-takumi-chan!?」

Freesia-san energetically hugged me as I was bewildered by being called Takumi-chan all of a sudden.

Well done……

「So, did you purposely came out to pick me up?」

「Yes. I had heard from Sylph that you were coming, after all.」

「Oh my! Sylph-sama, thank you very much!」

「That’s fine, come bring your luggage. We’ll be moving using Takumi’s carriage from here.」

「Yes. We’ll prepare it immediately.」

「Come now! Don’t stand there absentmindedly!」

「「「Y-yes!」」」

The elven adventurer froze from their nerves after coming face to face with Sylph, but upon being hurried by Sylph to move Freesia’s luggage, they moved in a fluster.

Sorry about that. Spirits were selfish beings who move freely, after all.

I also helped to move her luggage, then we parted ways, the carriage from Yggurle Kingdom heading to Wedgefort, and ours headed to the Sanctuary.
