Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 351: Ceremony Preparations 1 (Volume 8 START)

We crossed the national border of Yggurle Kingdom, and teleported to the Sanctuary from there.

I immediately met with Undine and the other Great Spirits to have a discussion with them.

「We’ve heard the gist of it.」

「So I don’t even have a shred of privacy, huh.」

Everyone gathered, and I grew weak as Sylph said so. I suppose she could listen as much as she likes because of the Wind Spirits……

「Takumi, it would be best to hold the wedding ceremony in the Sanctuary.」

「Eh, why? Wouldn’t it be difficult doing each and every single check?」

Undine said that the Sanctuary was the best option to hold the wedding ceremony in. We don’t know how many invitees there would be even if it was just our close friends, but there is no doubt that screening everyone would be complicated.

When I looked at Akane who was nearby, she was nodding. It seems Akane supported Undine’s opinion.

「Regarding security, the Sanctuary which does not let people with evil intentions enter would be easy to defend, leading to the safety of Takumi and the brides.」

Undine also agreed with Akane’s explanation.

「There are fools everywhere. At the very least, Margrave Volton and Earl Rockford from Valkyra Kingdom would be attending Takumi’s wedding. Mimir and Forselty would also be present from Yggurle Kingdom. If anything were to happen, Takumi can hold someone accountable.」

「Ah, yeah ……wait, address the king of Yggurle Kingdom properly.」

It seems that they don’t hold back even towards Elves who revere Spirits. As expected of the Great Spirits, I guess?

「But if that’s the case, I’m not sure about the size of the church.」

「Then it would be fine if it is rebuilt…… by Takumi.」

「Eh, me?」

Just as Akane who folded her arms said, the Sanctuary has a church, but it’s capacity is definitely not reassuring. Hearing this, Gnome, without any hesitation, said it would be fine if I rebuilt it.

「Of course, Gnome will be helping out, right?」

「I am busy with brewing alcohol.」

「Liar. Aren’t you just drinking it?」

「Okay, okay. I will only help with the foundation.」

I was a bit unhappy that it was only with the foundation, but I guess it’s fine if he’s helping.

「You can use the location that the current church is on.」

「Yeah. Chairs and ornaments are definitely a must, but I think it’s fine to leave Goddess Norn’s statue as it is.」

「More like, destroying Goddess Norn’s image is blasphemy.」

「…………」

Sylph, Dryas, and Selene were saying things all on their own. Nyx was mature like always.

「It is enough to enlarge the church, now how about the lodging of the invitees?」

The method of transportation of this world is mostly by carriage. Moreover, It still takes several days to reach the Sanctuary even from the Volton Margravery which is the closest in distance. It’s not like we could just say “Okay, the wedding is done, goodbye”.

「Hmm, I wonder what could be done.」

「Yggurle Kingdom’s King and Queen can stay in Mimir’s mansion, and the other people can walk to the city nearby, could they not?」

「Isn’t that bad?」

Sylph was pretending to think. She was definitely not thinking of fanything though. Considering this, Undine said that the visitors could stay over in the city beside the Sanctuary. Sure enough, the city that the Trination established together had their embassy-like establishments, and there are high class inns too. Moreover, it was just a carriage ride away, so she said it was perfect.

「Isn’t it distasteful to the other countries if Yggurle Kingdom’s King and party were the only ones to stay over in the Sanctuary?」

「But why would they bother traveling to a difference city when their daughter has a mansion here? These are Elven royalty who believe in us.」

Undine said it couldn’t be helped if we give a bit of partial treatment to the Elves.

「If we consider the Elves relationship with the Spirits, I guess that could be.」

「Why not build some accommodation because of this occasion?」

「Hmm……」

Sylph said it so simply, but because it was lodging to be used by high ranking nobility and royalty, it wouldn’t just be a building. There’s also the issue of staffing.

「Though it’s called accommodation, isn’t it okay to just let them use the rooms? After all, nobles and royalty bring people who wait on their hand and foot.」

「No, you see, not just anyone can enter the Sanctuary, right? What would they do if not a single one could enter the barrier?」

Sylph said it so simply, but the worst could also happen. If that happens, the Kings would have to make their own food……

「You need not worry that much. For several days, we will loosen the conditions for people to pass through a little bit. Majority of people, barring those with clear ill intent, would be able to pass through.」

「Will that be alright?」

Either way, security needs to be perfect.
