Chapter 206: Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 206 A new event

Chapter 206: Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 206 A new eventBy the time we finished the forts we were in charge of in the south to the reclamation of the farmland in the north, the construction of the settlement that the agrisoldiers and their families would live in was also completed.

Because the farmland can immediately be planted in with Gnome and Dryas’ powers, grains and vegetable seeds were promptly sowed in. The agrisoldiers do combat training and wall reinforcing during their breaks from farming.

In the living room of my mansion in the Sanctuary, I drank tea and idled for the first time in a long while.

「Fuu~ The tea is delicious.」

「Thank you very much, Master(Husband).」

「Marnie, you should take a break too.」

It was then that Akane and Lulu-chan entered the living room while stretching. Lulu-chan prepared to brew tea for Akane once she sat on the sofa.

「Hey Takumi, don’t you think the Sanctuary needs an event?」

「Umm, we held a showy concert recently though......」

Yes, thanks to the success of that concert, for some time, I was busy making instruments. Even now, the three countries Valkyra Kingdom, Lomaria Kingdom, and Yggurle Kingdom were making an orchestra to produce new music.

「That’s that and this is this. I think we need a festival!」

「A festival? Could this “festival” you’re talking about be a festival like the one in Japan?」

「Yeah! That! I want to eat cotton candy and candied apples!」

「Master, what is “cotton candy”?!」

Kaede bit at the topic of food.

「In the place that Akane lived, it’s a sweet thing often found in festivals. A candy that is fluffy and melts as soon as it’s in your mouth.」

「Woaaah! Kaede wants to eat too!」

「That’s right Kaede!」

「Is the festival (omatsuri) not a harvest festival (shuukakusai)?」

「Ah, the kakigoori too, okay?」

「Yes, yes.」

If I’ll be using all sorts of fruits, then it would be better to discuss that too.

「I’ll go ask Melty-san if she’ll sell fruits.」

「See ya!」

The managers of the Sanctuary’s orchard are the first Elven family that arrived at the Sanctuary, the mother Melty-san and sisters Melanie and Malorie. The population of the Elves has increased, but the Elven women have a central role in the orchard work aside from the manual labor.

「Melty-san, can we talk about a few things?」

「My, Takumi-sama. If it’s you talking, then whatever it is I shall obey.」

「「Likewise for me.」」

「No, it’s not that heavy a topic. Please calm down a bit. The truth is............」

I hurriedly talked about wanting to use apples and other fruits in stalls for the festival that Akane suggested.

「Hmm, a thing like that would be no problem at all. Both this orchard and us are here thanks to you, after all, Takumi-sama. Because of this, even if you were to tell me to present my body, I would gladly do so.」

「No no, calm yourself, Melty-san!」

Once Melty-san and the girls composed themselves, they agreed to supply fruits. Afterwards, they also agreed to help with the candied apple and kakigoori stalls. The candied apple stall will have apples and grapes, and for the kakigoori stall, they promised to help make syrup with various fruits.

Now then, to make the stalls, I have to talk to the Dwarves.
