Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

When I left the workshop and headed to the room everyone was in, Akane was writing down the name of a child on paper.

Sophia’s baby girl, whose silver hair was rare even for Elves, her name is Etoile.

The pink haired baby girl that Maria had given birth to, Haruka.

The silver-haired, rabbit-eared baby girl that Marnie had given birth to, it was decided her name would be Flora.

I was dumbfounded when I saw the paper with the chosen names that were decided without any involvement from me.

Well, I think these are good names.

If I remember correctly, Etoile meant 「Star」. It has a nice ring to it.

I also have no issues with Haruka and Flora’s names either though, they’re also pretty names. If possible, I would have liked to at least been told before it was decided.

Freesia-san was attached to the baby cot that Etoile was placed in.

I’m sure she’s elated. She was smiling while poking Etoile’s cheek.

For some reason, Madam Elizabeth, who should have been unrelated to all this, was charmed by Haruka grabbing her finger.

And perhaps because she recognized that they were both Beastkin, Lulu-chan looked so happy rocking Flora. It looks like Lulu-chan is her big sister.

「Takumi-sama, I’m sorry.」

「No, it’s fine. They’re good names.」

Sophia apologized profusely, but this isn’t my wives’ fault. Right, let’s just assume that this world doesn’t have the custom of the father naming the child. Yup, that would be better for my mental health.

「Don’t scold Sophia. Etoile was a name granted by the Great Spirits. There is no greater honor than this for an Elf.」

「No, I’m not scolding her.」

Madam Lumia tried comforting me, but I was already able to change my view on it, so it’s fine. In the first place, I, as a Japanese man, am unknowledgeable regarding this world’s and the Elven’s naming sense.

Since it probably wouldn’t be good for a crowd to stay in the babies’ room, so everyone aside from the new mothers, Freesia-san, and Maribelle moved.

「Master, we received an offer from residents of the Sanctuary to hold a congratulatory feast at the unveiling of the children.」

「…… I guess that’s necessary.」

Before I could get comfortable in the living room, Jeeves informed me of the request from the Sanctuary residents.

「Naturally, a feast must be held.」

「Right~ Takumi-chan. The Spirits in the Sanctuary are also looking forward to it~」

「Surely, Gnome and Salamander are already waving the flag and already beginning to making preparations, no?」

Sylph, Dryas, and Undine were also raring to have a congratulatory feast.

「We’ll ask the maids in Volton for assistance so we could hasten the preparations.」

Jeeves said so, and perhaps because he wanted to consult Sebastian, he headed to the basement where the Teleport Gate is located.

Incidentally, Sebastian and the maids working in Volton were taking turns to come and see the babies.

I accidentally left behind the baby bottles I was supposed to give to Maribelle, but it was then that I realized that I had forgotten something important.

「Oh yeah. Baby bottles need to be sterilized, don’t they?」

Yes, they used to boil the bottles to sterilize them in the olden days. Now the method of sterilization changes according to the material. Glass bottles and plastic bottles, of course, use different methods.

But that is irrelevant here in this world where magic exists. After all, purifying magic exists.

I easily transmuted a suitable metal box (I chose mithril alloy after considering the weight. It also doesn’t rust.) and inserted a purifying magic device into it.

I also prepared a container to store breastmilk and enchanted it with State Preservation so microorganisms wouldn’t propagate in the milk.

The baby bottles and its accessories were well received by the new mothers, Freesia-san, Maribelle, and the maids who were in charge of the babies.

Additionally, the disposable diapers that they were once reluctant to use because it would be wasteful were now accepted for their convenience, and mostly how baby friendly it was. They were also delighted by the trash bin exclusively for the disposal of said diapers.

Newborn babies have poor eyesight, so I thought it was still too early for a baby mobile, but Sophia and the others were thankful for the toys such as the baby rattle.

「Ah! I forgot about the carrier and sling for carrying babies!」

「Takumi-sama, Laeva’s tribe uses a large piece of cloth.」

「Ahh, right, there were those too. But I was thinking of something that was simpler and more secure.」

「Well, I thought you’d say that.」

「Master, leave the fabric to Kaede!」

Laeva was appalled, and Kaede jumped out from the Subspace and volunteered to help. Now the highest quality cloth will be produced.

Aside from Kaede and I who headed to the workshop, everyone came together to start preparations for the feast in the Sanctuary.

Am I the only one who feels like this is definitely going to become something important?
