Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?-Chapter 587: Women Dress Up

The morning after Lord Simon and King Yggurle arrived at the Sanctuary, I went to the Lodge in the annexed district to meet them.

The ceremony of the Harvest Festival starts before noon, and the festivities begin afterwards.

There shouldn’t be a parade before that.

When I woke up this morning and went outside, there was a float that could possibly be pulled by Tsubaki.

It looks like we could even ride on top of it.

Yup, it’s a parade.

Sophia and the others had been excited since the morning.

The ceremony was being managed by Mimir with the priests of the Genesis Faith supporting her, and she was raring to go after having finished the purification ritual first thing in the morning.

「How lively. Isn’t it as spirited as the nation’s founding festival?」

「Indeed. There are also plenty of food that I have never seen before.」

The area lined with stalls set up by the Sanctuary Residents was filled with people doing last minute preparations since early morning.

The food in these stalls were not much difference from last year, but there was more variety with the stalls set up by the Papeck Company that served conventional cuisine of Valkyra Kingdom and standard food of this world, so the variation had increased considerably compared to prior years. Furthermore, there were several stalls led by Madam Lumia. These focused on Yggurle Kingdom’s cuisine, which also had more variety in comparison to last year’s stalls.

「Oh my, there is a place where you can drink alcohol from the morning.」

「Ohh! It’s wine from the Sanctuary!」

For this year’s Harvest Festival, we had a lot of discussions with Doganbo-san and Golan-san about how the alcohol would be managed.

The Harvest Festival which had been exclusive to the Sanctuary residents until last year was like an extended banquet, so I gave out money to buy food and alcohol, so it was essentially free of charge.

However, given how this year the residents earned money through the sale of the Sanctuary’s produce, the monetary economy had begun to permeate into the Sanctuary.

As such, it was decided that I would take charge of majority of the capital, but the food and alcohol will be sold for dirt cheap.

I could see Lord Simon growing excited. It seems the wine from the Sanctuary was popular despite the limited distribution rates.

「Please freely enjoy what the stalls have to offer once the ceremony ends. There are also various other types of liquor available aside from the wine.」

「U-umu, it’s still morning.」

It seems even those in the class of Lord Simon were unable to drink wine from the Sanctuary on a daily basis, and he said that they only bring it out as a reward on special occasions.

I was very glad to hear this because I was wondering if we could sell it for cheaper and in larger quantities, but as to be expected, the Dwarves and Great Spirits would not permit this.

The Sanctuary residents take precedence no matter what, after all.

Incidentally, the Great Spirits drink the liquor for free, but no one complains. Perhaps they saw it as offerings to the Great Spirits. Spirits wouldn’t have money.

King Yggurle went to Mimir-sama’s mansion, while Lord Simon and Madam Rosary were invited into my mansion for a moment.

When I showed them into the living room, Maribelle told me to change clothes and I was taken to my room.

「Takumi-sama, please change immediately.」

「Eh, guys, those clothes……」

When I entered my room, my wives Sophia, Maria, and Marnie were there with our babies, Etoile, Haruka, and Flora in their arms. Laeva, Akane, and Kaede were also there.

What everyone had in common was that they were all wearing beautiful clothing.

「Beautiful, aren’t they? Don’t you have anything to say, Takumi?」

「…………they’re beautiful.」

As I stood there in amazement, Akane spoke up, and it was only then that I managed to utter words.

Sophia’s dress was a deep green mature design, Maria’s dress was dark pink and looked cute which very much suited her. Marnie’s black dress highlighted her fair skin and hugged her curves.

Laeva, Akane, and Lulu-chan’s dresses were also magnificent and well suited to them.

For some reason, Freesia-san was also on board. She was happy about using a dress using cloth made of Kaede’s special threads.

Etoile, Haruka, and Flora were also wearing cute baby dresses.

「Now, you should also get changed, Takumi-kun.」

「Ah, yeah, Madam Elizabeth.」

It was then that my aides, Charlotte, Ana, and Gina, as well as Charlotte’s mother Madam Elizabeth had come.

Upon closer look, Maribelle, the maids, and even my aides were all dressed a bit more refined while still being modest. Madam Elizabeth was wearing more extravagant clothing.

Then I checked the clothes that were prepared for me.

「……so I have to wear this, huh.」

「Naturally. Now then, please head to the ceremony with the Mistresses and the little ladies.」

At Maribelle’s urging, I picked up my prepared outfit.

It was just as fancy as a nobleman’s clothing. Perhaps it was Akane’s design, or because of cloths made of Kaede’s threads, I’m just glad that it doesn’t look crude.

「Please hurry.」

「Yes.」

The kids were carried by the maids, and Sophia and the others left the room. Lord Simon and Madam Rosary were guided to the venue of the ceremony by the butler Jeeves.

Left alone, I resigned myself and wore the prepared outfit.

This is that, isn’t it? It’s related to using that float-like thing.

It looks like this year’s Harvest Festival was also my babies’ unveiling.

Yup, acceptance is key.
