Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 497: Mother and Daughter go to the Sanctuary

Right now, an elegant woman, who didnt look like someone in their thirties in my eyes, was hyped up.

Charlotte, this is amazing! So this is where you work, right!? Im jealous! Mom wants to live here too!

Mother, please calm down! Everyone is watching. Its embarrassing so please stop!

And Lady Charlotte was beet red from embarrassment as she asked her mother to stop.

After reuniting Madam Charlotte and Lady Charlotte in the territory of Viscount Packard, I couldnt bring myself to separate them again just yet, so I invited them to stay in the Sanctuary lodge.

I also invited Viscount Packard, and in the lobby of the first floor where they check in, Madam Elizabeths excitement was through the roof.

The array of ornaments and sculptures made by dwarven craftsmen, as well as furniture furniture created by Elven craftsmen in the building was all too appealing to Madam Elizabeth.

Now now, Elizabeth[1], calm yourself. You are an honorary baroness. You must conduct yourself in a manner befitting your station.

Jeez! Father, youre so uptight. Your heartbroken daughter is happy, so you should watch with warm eyes.

Haa~ is this because Baron Vold spoiled you? I thought I had a more graceful daughter

Theyll keep clamoring in the lobby so lets try to usher them to the their room.

Okay, okay, Ill show you to your room.

Pardon for the inconvenience, Iruma-dono.

Iruma-sama, please do.

Lady Charlotte, you dont need to add sama to my name.

No, I want to be of help to your work for a while, Iruma-sama. As such, we have an employer-employee relationship, so it is absolutely necessary to keep this distinction.

Well said! Charlotte, we must reciprocate the debt of gratitude we have received from Iruma-dono.

Yes, Grandfather!

Lady Charlotte and Viscount Packard seemed to have decided on something, regardless of my intentions.

Well, I did choose three people because I wanted people to help me with clerical work, so Im glad shes going to help, but is that okay? Shes the barons daughter.

Theres not many people staying at the lodge right now, but I still dont want the lobby to be too noisy, so I showed Viscount Packard and Madam Elizabeth to their rooms.

There were two suites for Viscount Packard and Madam Elizabeths use.

They are father and daughter so they could stay in the same room, but theyre both the Viscount and the Baroness, so they are separate noble families so this should be satisfactory.

To let Viscount Packard and Madam Elizabeth rest peacefully in their rooms, I returned to the mansion with Charlotte.

Welcome back, Master, Sophia-sama.

Im home.

I have returned.

Jeeves and the maids greeted us when we returned, and when we went to the living room, it was rare that no one was there.

Maria-san and Akane-san have secluded themselves in the workshop to make designs and sew samples to be given to the Papeck Company.

And Laeva?

Laeva-san is preoccupied with bowling-related products.

I-I see. I should help later.

After hearing about why no one was here from Mabel, I had a sip of tea and took a breather.

Fuu, and Marnie?

She and Kaede-chan are showing Gina-san, and Ana-san around the Sanctuary.

Then once Gina and Ana come back, could you tell them to come to my study?

Understood.

When Mabel withdrew, I tried talking to Lady Charlotte about the arrangements for the future.

So Lady Charlotte, will you be living here? Or will you live in a room at the lodge for a while?

May I say something before this?

I asked Lady Charlotte where she would like to stay in the Sanctuary, but Lady Charlotte asked something with a serious expression. I nodded reflexively.

Just as you call Gina-san and Ana-san, please stop using Lady for me.

No, Lady Charlotte, you have returned to being the Barons daughter, so I cant address you without it.

I may be the Barons daughter, but that was in thanks to your efforts, Iruma-sama. As such, it is no issue for you to speak to a lower class nobles daughter without any honorifics.

No no no, that wont happen.

When I looked to Sophia for help, Sophia was also of the same opinion, for some reason.

Takumi-sama, you are the keeper of the Sanctuary. You are different from commoners. You are the King of a small nation, so to speak.

seriously?

Seriously.

As such, for the duration that I work here, please speak casually to me.

If Lady Charlotte returns to her life as the Barons daughter, she doesnt mind adding san or sama to her name, but she wouldnt like it if she were to be treated differently from Gina and Ana.

Okay, Charlotte. This is fine, right?

Yes, Iruma-sama.

Why do I still have to have sama?

You are my employer, so it is only natural.

Haa, I give up. Ill explain how documents need to be filed in the study, so lets go?

Yes. Certainly.

Its very difficult to do so I definitely have to get used to it, huh. Its a tall order for my lower middle class self to speak without honorifics towards a noble daughter though.
