Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 198: Traces of the dream

It’s the day after the dream-like event. I’m in the bed in the mansion within the Sanctuary this morning.

「Master(Husband), there is a visitor who requested to et with you. What would you like to do?」

The person who gently stirred awake was the Rabbitkin Marnie who had just finished preparing breakfast and thought that it was about ti to wake . As she was as seductive as ever, I woke up clearheaded.

「Visitors?」

「The Elven astros and Mimir-sama. In the afternoon, Margrave Volton said he would like to make a visit.」

「The maestros, they were the ones who cried out loud in the concert, weren’t they?」

「Yes.」

After the concert ended yesterday, the standing ovation continued for a good while. During that, a large number of people were moved to tears. Especially those Elven maestros, their faces crumpled as they wailed. All in all, it was definitely a magical spectacle and a wonderful performance.

「Oh, Iruma-dono. My apology for making you co out of your way.」

「I apologize for coming early in the morning.」

When I went to the reception room on the first floor after having finished preparing, Mimir-sama and the elven maestros far older than stood up with faces full of smiles.

「Good morning. Yesterday’s performance was magnificent. I was deeply moved. Thank you very much.」

「Nay, please let us thank you. At first, since it was the words of the Spirit-samas, we had partly thought it was unavoidable. However, to have been able to co to this Sanctuary, experience new instrunts and music, and receive the blessings of the Spirits at our performance, all of this was because of Iruma-dono.」

「No, I just helped out after all.」

「Thereupon, in truth, we have a request for Takumi-dono.」

「A request?」

「I shall explain from here.」

When I asked the maestros, Princess Mimir began to speak as their representative.

「The concert yesterday was splendid. I too was unable to contain how deeply moved I was and shed tears. So I had a thought. I would like for mother to hear it as well.」

What Mimir said was within my expectations. Actually, I would have liked to send the orchestra to their country, but a facility like our concert hall doesn’t exist in this world. On the other hand, this Sanctuary has a high hurdle known as the barrier. With that being the case, they said they would like for to permit the propagation of the instrunts and musical compositions.

「I wouldn’t mind it that much, but what would you do about the instrunts?」

「Yes, that is the thing…………」

Right, the instrunts that the orchestra uses were made by Laeva, the Dwarves, and myself, but Laeva and I made a large majority of it.

I’m getting a bad premonition.

Just when I felt as such, the words I feared were spoken by Princess Mimir’s mouth.

「We would like for enough instrunts to form three orchestras.」

「Nay, Princess. In order to rear perforrs, much more would be necessary.」

「Indeed. Iruma-dono, we would by all ans like for you to assist in impassioning the people of Yggurle Kingdom with the magnificence of music.」

「That is right. In particular, first and foremost, we desire the piano and violin.」

I don’t rember who is who among the three elven maestros, but they interrupted Princess Mimir and said they wanted a great deal of instrunts.

「Furthermore, we would also like to discus the rights to the tunes that Iruma-dono and Akane-sama have imparted with us.」

「Hee~ so you have proper rights when it cos to music.」

「Yes, the Comrce Guild is very fastidious in that regard.」

Still, Akane, who had taught the maestros song after song, had 【sama】 added to her na and has been receiving treatnt akin to worship from them.

「Please wait a mont. No matter how you put it, that many instrunts is impossible for us.」

「Yes, yes, indeed it is. Iruma-dono, despite being a master artisan, as well as an outstanding Alchemist, creating all the instrunts using alchemy would be unreasonable, while on the other hand, creating a number manually would be an enormous undertaking. As such, if we may ask you to create several samples of brass musical instrunts such as the trumpet and trombone using your alchemy, as well as prepare completed woodwind instrunts and spare accessories, we would entrust the production to our countries’ craftsn and blacksmiths.」

In other words, they’re saying they want samples of the instrunts, but even then, the burden on is still enormous.

「Please, we beseech you. We would like to propagate the instrunts and compositions in this continent.」

「Haa, …………still, it’s not that easy. Especially the piano, that takes a lot of ti and work to make.」

「The piano is amazing!」

「Oooh, that instrunt is superb!」

「Its range is extensive and its potential is infinite!」

No, I didn’t ask……………

After all that, as soone who can’t refuse, I ended up promising to make the instrunts. We settled on the price to be paid by Yggurle Kingdom.

And the important matter that Margrave Volton ca to visit for in the afternoon was the sa, to sell the music sheets and instrunts to Valkyra Kingdom. Apparently, they’ve asked those Elven maestros for coaching. And, obviously, there was also a request from Lomaria Kingdom too………….

「Master(husband), please do your best.」

「Marnie, where’s Sophia?」

「Everyone is practicing.」

「………………」

An escort isn’t necessary inside the Sanctuary, but even Sophia is caught up in the dream known as music. It hit again that this is a world with few pleasures. And, for so reason, my work increased again.
