Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

It shouldn’t have been that long since Etoile, Haruka, and Flora were born, yet there was a massive amount of gifts that arrived from the Papeck Company. Moreover, Papeck-san himself came as a bonus.

Sylph notified me of this.

「Takumi, the usual old merchant is coming closer with a line of carriages.」

「The usual old merchant, do you mean Papeck-san? I wonder why he’s coming by with a number of carriages at this time?」

We regularly sell products wholesale to the Papeck Company. But most of the time, those deliveries were sent to their Volton store or the Royal Capital store.

Additionally, we sell small quantities of Sanctuary-made wine and whiskey to Papeck-san when he comes by, but I can’t think of any reason why he would come with a line of carriages.

The population in the Sanctuary had increased, but it was able to be self sufficient. It didn’t need to import large amounts of produce from outside. Eggs and dairy products like cheese were the exception, but that was about it.

I’ve also been informed by Sylph that there were some old folk are escorting the caravan. They were with me when I came to Volton for the very first time, and I had been under their care multiple times. Heath-san, Lyle-san, and Bogah-san of the 『Lion’s Fang』 were coming.

「Takumi, without even thinking about it too much, aren’t those congratulatory gifts? You were the reason why their store became huge. If you have a child, then isn’t it a given that he would send one or two gifts?」

「Wait, but there’s a line of carriages, you know? There’s no way those are all gifts...... right?」

Different from the usual, Heath-san and the high rank adventurer party 『Lion’s Fang』 were even hired as escorts, could it be because they were carrying a large amount of gifts?

Haha, no way...... did someone already tell Papeck-san that my children were born?

「Shouldn’t you go out and meet them?」

「Right. There might be a problem if we let this parade of carriages in with Papeck-san.」

「Bring Kaede and Titan with you.」

「I’ll do that then.」

The mountain of goods were, thankfully enough, clothing and underwear for the residents of the Sanctuary. And the chickens and cheese that I wanted.

「Ooh, chickens. These can’t go into storage, please send these to the mansion instead.」

「Master, pudding, I want pudding.」

「Yeah, Kaede, I know you like pudding so I’ll make a huge one just for you.」

「Yaaaay!」

In the Sanctuary, eggs were precious, so I couldn’t use them for desserts that much.

The number of chickens increased, so from now on, I might be able to use eggs for more dishes and desserts.

I ordered the golem to handle that specific crate separately.

「Papeck-san, these are all things I wanted. Thank you.」

「Ha ha ha, we’ve been trading for many years. Takumi-sama, I know what would make you happy.」

Lyle-san seemed to be itching to talk to me, but Heath-san and Bogah-san were glaring at him, so he gave up and went back to helping unload the cargo.

Well, I plan to invite them over to the mansion later, so we can leave it for then.

I asked Titan to bring Heath-san and others to my home later, and Papeck-san and I headed there first.
