Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

The congratulatory gift that Margrave Volton sent was a large amount of Treant wood.

The Dwarves and Elves were overjoyed by it.

As to be expected, lugging a large amount of Treant wood to the warehouse was a huge ordeal, so I stored everything in my Item Box for the time being.

Now, it can’t be helped if the capacity of my Item Box was being exposed as unusual.

At the Lodge, I was able to meet some old friends. They were the members of the 『Lion’s Fang』 who accepted the escort commission of Papeck-san’s caravan, as well as escorting his party’s safe return.

「Hey hey, Takumi, so you’re already a father of three, huh? I haven’t even gotten married yet, man.」

「Aren’t Heath-san and Bogah-san both married men too?」

「Heath and Bogah are the same age so it’s fine. You are a hellava lot younger than me, aren’t ya?」

It’s been a while since I’ve met the three members of the 『Lion’s Fang』, but Lyle-san was already picking a fight. He’s was much older than me, but his bad attitude was still the same as ever..

「Lyle, stop trying to fight with Takumi. You keep chasing the tails of those women from brothels.」

「……it’s better if you actually make an effort in finding a wife.」

「I love them jiggle jiggles!」

「Jiggle jiggle…… I can’t take you seriously if you say that stuff.」

「Shut it! I will marry those sexy oneechans!」

Lyle-san yelled at the top of his lungs as he exited the room.

He probably went out to drink.

Heath-san and Bogah-san just shook their heads in disappointment.

The fact that Lyle-san was still acting the same was nostalgic and that made me happy.

「Still, you’re a dad now huh. We’re getting old.」

「Heath-san, you guys are still young. Especially Lyle-san.」

「Haha, it would be nice if Lyle settled down some.」

「……he just chases tail.」

「Ha, haha, as always.」

That day, I showed them the bowling alley and the games room in the Lodge, and accompanied them for a bit for games and alcohol.

「Still, this is a great inn. It’s extravagant, and it even has this game room.」

「……I want to bring my wife and child here.」

「Heath-san, Bogah-san, if it’s you then I’m okay with it. Please come visit with your wives and children. It might be difficult to give you the best room, but I’ll make sure you stay in one of the regular rooms.」

「Ohh! I’d be grateful for that.」

「……my wife and child would be happy.」

The Adventurer party 『Lion’s Fang』 was the top party in Volton, so they must have experienced staying in high class hotels. But I referenced the high class hotels of my old world based on my memory for the lodge. It wasn’t just for Heath-san, even the usually reticent Bogah-san was somewhat excited.

As for Lyle-san……

「Tch, it’s so friggin tasty.」

「Duh. You can’t drink this wine or whiskey anywhere ousitde of the Sanctuary.」

「I thought you already left Volton, what are you doing here?」

At the bar counter, we came face to face with Doganbo-san.

The Dwarves took turns manning the bar counter. They were experimenting different ways to make alcohol taste better.

「Why, isn’t it a given that smithing and alcohol come hand in hand when you say Dwarf?」

「No, don’t just up and disappear! We didn’t know what to do about our gear’s maintenance!」

「If it’s maintenance then other blacksmiths can do it, no? Crafting alcohol in the Sanctuary is a hundred times more important than that.」

「Kuh, this damn geezer, not even a grain of remorse!」

The one maintaining their party’s equipment seemed to have been Doganbo-san. And they were in trouble because that Doganbo-san suddenly disappeared from his store.

「So the one maintaining Heath-san and the others’ gear was Doganbo, huh?」

「Yeah, he was the most skillful blacksmith in Volton.」

「……it’s rare to have a Dwarven blacksmith at the border.」

As we talked about our latest updates, Heath-san suddenly looked serious.

「Hey, when Bogah and I retire, can we move here?」

「Umm, will you be immigrating?」

「Yeah, we won’t always be young. It’s not just me who wants to raise my child in a safe environment, Bogah feels the same.」

「…………」

Bogah-san nodded along as Heath-san spoke.

They had apparently saved up a lot of money from being high ranking adventurers. Since their children were still small, they considered changing from high risk jobs to normal ones.

As a profession, being an adventurer comes with so many risks that it wouldn’t be strange to lose your life at any given time. That’s why only the handful of people who have been adventurers for a long time are high level adventurers.

「Even if it’s said that you live longer the higher your level is, but we’re not at that level.」

「No Heath-san, you guys are the top party in Volton, aren’t you?」

「Even if we’re at the top, we can’t compare to your group.」

Actually, I would love it if a high ranking party like Heath-san and Bogah-san immigrates to the Sanctuary.

I may have made Wappa and the kids power level a bit, but I couldn’t teach them fighting skills which include handling swords and spears. I’m too busy to do so.

If it’s the dependable Heath-san and Bogah-san, they were the most suitable for teaching in between jobs in the Sanctuary.

「If talks go well with your party, we will welcome you. I can contact you by way of Papeck-san.」

「Thanks, Takumi. I will discuss it with my family too.」

「……thanks. I will also try talking to my family.」

Heath-san and Bogah-san seemed serious. I wonder if their wives would be able to adapt from their life in Volton City to the life in the Sanctuary. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Papeck-san was busy with work, so they stayed overnight and the next day, he returned to Volton with the 『Lion’s Fang』 escorting him.
