Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 461: Flower Viewing in the Sanctuary

The next morning was clear and sunny, the cherry blossoms had fully bloomed in the garden of the mansion.

Its not that I dont feel its too fast for them to bloom fully, but according to Dryas, the lifespan of the flowers is long, so she was proud that the cherry blossoms could be enjoyed for a long time.

As to be expected, if the buds swell so much, it would bloom very fast.

Moreover, according to Dryas, this huge cherry tree birthed Sakura Spirits. Even Dryas was surprised that a spirit was born from a tree which was essentially still only a few years old.

Perhaps because of this, the flowers of the cherry blossom tree in the garden seemed more beautiful than the ones I saw in Japan.

Howaaa~ Master~ Its soooo pretty~

Yup, its very pretty.

The beauty of the cherry blossoms could be perceived even by Kaede[1], an Arachne. She was so fascinated by the fully bloomed cherry blossoms that her mouth was wide open.

Meanwhile, Maribelle and the maids was lining the tables with food.

I also took out more dishes stored in the item box and lined them up on the table. This time, its a buffet where you can eat your favorite foods. Just in case, tables and chairs were also set up so people can eat easily.

Doganbo-san and Golan-san placed barrels of various kinds of alcohol at the area indicated by Jeeves.

By that time, the first residents who came to the Sanctuary the Cat Sith Mappos family (Mappo, Poporo, Miri, Lala), the Catkin siblings (Wappa and Sara), the orphaned Human siblings (Colette and Shirona), the Elves managers of the orchard (Melty and her two daughters, Melanie and Malorie) had arrived and were bustling about.

Oneechan, its super pretty nya.

Yeah nya!

Uwaa! Woaaaaaaah!

Oniichan, stop it, youre embarrassing!

The Cat Sith sisters and the Catkin siblings were excited to see the blooming cherry blossoms.

pretty.

Yeah, its beautiful

Colette and Shirona also seemed to be having fun.

Perhaps because the Elven parents and children could see the Sakura Spirit, they were so deeply moved they were speechless.

Uwoo! This is amazing, Takumi!

You, shut up! Calm down!

Vanga-san and Martha-san who immigrated from Bohd Village had also arrived.

Its about to start, right?

Dont we start with alcohol?

Should we start with sparkling wine?

Uwaa, theres a lot of wonderful food.

hamburger steak and karaage are supreme!

It was then that the female Great Spirits, starting from Dryas to Sylph, Undine, Selene, and Nyx, appeared. Afterwards, the sullen Gnome and Salamander followed. What happened, I wonder?

Then, just as the cherry blossom viewing started, Princess Mimir and even the Queen came with her attendants.

I appreciate the invitation.

Princess Mimir, Your Majesty, I hope you enjoy today.

Iruma-dono, this is truly a very beautiful flowering tree. I most certainly wish to have this at our castle.

Without even a toast or a speech, the cherry blossom viewing began.

I held a glass in one hand, enjoying the food that Sophia, Maria, and Marnie shared with me.

Sebastian, Maribelle, and the servants took turns enjoying the food and alcohol.

At first, they firmly refused , saying the servants couldnt eat food and drink alcohol with us, their employers, but I ordered them to do so.

The banquet exceeded my expectations.

This worlds first Ohanami which started in the morning did not end when the sun went down and the cherry blossoms were lit up at night.

Even the tired people, who rested in their rooms, and the children, who slept with their bellies full, came back revived and once again continued to enjoy the banquet.

When will this end?

Give up, Takumi.

Gnome, who heard my involuntary muttering, placed his hand on my shoulder and shook his head.

Look over there..

Eh!?

The place Gnome pointed towards was a shocking sight.

Outside of my mansion, the Sanctuary residents brought food and alcohol as they each enjoyed the Ohanami.

S-since when

The Sanctuary still has it better, but there are very few pleasures in this world. Its valuable having a time where the people can have a banquet aside from the harvest festival.

Maybe we should plant a cherry tree in a park.

Yeah. It looks like the custom of a banquet to enjoy the cherry blossoms could take root.

The Sanctuary is wealthy, so there was no starvation. Thats why I think its important to have flexibility in their life and be able to enjoy their spare time.

(Lets try thinking about all sorts of events we could have.)
