Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 531:  Inform

Inform

There has been a lot of kerfuffle in my mansion in the Sanctuary these past few days. Of course, that was not the case for everyone. Kaede was going about her day as per usual.

However, since I wasn’t in a state where I could work, I was inconveniencing everyone.

Akane was in charge of the Capital store, and production related matters were being handled by Laeva.

It was then that I remembered something important.

「Ah! I have to inform Sophia’s mother and father!」

Yes, we hadn’t yet informed Dante-san and Freesia-san, who live in Yggurle Kingdom, of the news.

「You can leave that to me too!」

「Uwaa! Oh, it’s you, don’t scare me like that, Sylph!」

I was thinking of how to tell Dante-san and Freesia-san, when suddenly, Sylph appeared.

It wasn’t strange for her to pop up like that because she’s a Great Spirit, but it was a problem how she couldn’t be sensed by Presence Detection and Magic Power Detection. She has no bad intentions so it’s fine though.

「I’m off then.」

「Eh, you’ll go there personally, Sylph?」

「Yeah, I could leave it to the Wind Spirits, but I don’t know if they would be able to speak as well as 「I can. It would be much faster if I go there myself. I’m off.」

Saying so, Sylph disappeared from my sight. The Great Spirits appearing unannounced was pretty normal, but out of all of them, Sylph was the most free-willed. Maybe it was because she was the wind?

ーーーーーーーー

In a remote region at the south of Yggurle Kingdom, the Chevalier House Sylphide governs a rural village.

Even in Yggurle Kingdom which is enclosed by the forests, this region brimming with greenery was, for some reason, Wind Spirits, Tree Spirits, Water Spirits, and Light spirits were dancing with joy today.

That day, Dante noticed the strange phenomenon. It wasn’t strange to see a lot of Spirits if it was in Yggurle Kingdom. This was the nation of the Elves who revere the Spirits, after all.

However, Dante doesn’t remember a situations where the Spirits were this boisterous.

No, he remembered experiencing it once before.

That was when his cute daughter Sophia and Takumi Iruma had their wedding ceremony.

As he was thinking such, Freesia hurried over.

「Oi oi, don’t run inside the house.」

「Dante, this is not the time. The Spirits are dancing for joy! Something happened!」

「I’m aware of that, but we don’t know why they’re happy, do we? I’ll check around the territory.」

Just as he talked to Freesia and was about to go out, a great presence suddenly appeared inside their mansion.

！！

「Sylph-sama!」

Sylph revealed herself without hiding her presence.

As to be expected of the occasion, she did not play a prank by erasing her presence and secretly appearing.

It seemed like like a lie that the being standing with its presence unconcealed, whose greatness they understood because they were Elves, was here, because she was usually in the Sanctuary.

「S-Sylph-sama, what is going on today?」

「Fufu, could you serve tea to stay? Ah, and cookies too, if you have some.」

「W-we will prepare it immediately!」

Freesia hurriedly ran to prepare tea and snacks.

「Hey! Don’t run! Please excuse her, Sylph-sama.」

「Fufu, how cute. Don’t get angry.」

Despite being a bundle of nerves, Dante showed Sylph to the living room.

「Fuu~ this is quite the tea.」

「Thank you very much. It was developed in this village.」

Sylph felt at home, drinking the tea that Freesia had brewed. However, Dante and Freesia could not settle down.

They did not know for what purpose Sylph had come to the Sylphide territory.

「Fuu, you seem to be curious, so perhaps I should mention the reason for my visit quickly. Today, You must have noticed that an unimaginable number of Spirits, far more than normal, was gathering.」

「「…………」」

Dante and Freesia nodded silently. Grinning at their state, Sylph continued speaking.

「If you have seen how the Spirits are acting, you must know that it is nothing bad, yes?」

「「……」」

The pair nodded once again.

「Congratulations. It is your first grandchild.」

「Eh?」

「…………」

「Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Well done, Sophia!!」

Freesia was dumbfounded, and, perhaps denying Sylph’s words in his head, Dante froze like a statue. That said, the next second, Freesia yelled loud enough to echo throughout the mansion.

「I-is this true, Sylph-sama!?」

「Yes, it is true. I wouldn’t come here just to lie.」

「Kuh……」

Dante understood that his cute daughter was in the hands of a man now that she has been wed, but his indescribable desolation as a father far outweighed his happiness for his daughter’s pregnancy.

In contrast to Dante, Freesia was absolutely giddy, jumping so happily from the sofa without a care that Sylph was in front of her.

「I’m heading back to the Sanctuary then. See ya~」

Sylph said so and disappeared from that spot.

Inevitably, the Sylphide mansion was in an uproar after that.
