Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Recently, it feels like Sophia, Maria, and Marnie’s stomachs have been getting bigger, so it’s been hard for me to relax in the living room even though it’s my home, and so the workshop has become the place where I could feel at ease.

The reason was, of course, because the living room was often the location of the tea party held by Madam Elizabeth, Freesia-san, and Madam Lumia.

There’s a perfectly good place right next door, why did it have to be at my house?

Especially Madam Lumia. Please just have your tea parties at Mimir’s house. My stomach won’t last.

「Takumi-sama, you also have it rough.」

「I apologize for Mother.」

I received consolation from Laeva who was working in the workshop. Sophia apologized for Freesia-san’s actions, but she’s not to blame for that. Of course, I knew that Freesia-san had no ill will and was just excited about having a grandchild. However, her actions were just a bit extreme.

The living room was occupied by the three mothers, so I was often in the workshop. As a result, Sophia, Maria, and Marnie spent a lot of their time in the workshop too.

The dreary atmosphere of the workshop wasn’t ideal for my pregnant wives, so we added tables and a sofa there. The workshop is spacious, so there was a lot of room.

「Eh? Aren’t they having tea in the living room?」

I don’t know why she was grinning as she asked that, but they should have been having a tea party in our living room.

「Fufu, a tea party is a tea party, but they’re also knitting.」

「Ah, knitting…… wait, could it be?」

「They are knitting socks for our babies.」

「What!?」

I knew Maria and Marnie were knitting socks and hats for the babies, but how about Freesia-san and the madams?

「I’m sorry.」

「No, Sophia, it’s not a bad thing, it’s something to be grateful for…… maybe.」

Given how Sophia find difficulty with knitting, Freesia-san happily took over making hats and socks for the babies. Madam Elizabeth and Madam Lumia were jealous upon seeing that. “Three babies are coming at the same time so we have to work together.” was their incomprehensible reasoning.

「If you don’t take the not minding stance already, you will just tire, Takumi-sama.」

「Yup, I’ll do that as much as I can.」

Consoled by Marnie, I just won’t think about those three for the time being.

By the way, Marnie preferred a lot of clothing that showed a lot of skin, which is very Beastkin-like, but given how she’s now pregnant, she had settled with more modest clothing.

I moved away from Sophia and the others drinking tea on the sofa and sat at my workbench.

Now then, I had already made all sorts of baby articles, but the urge to make things for them isn’t weakening.

It started with the cradle, then the cot and stroller, paper diaper and baby wipes.

And so, the next things I want to make are toys for the babies.

I’ve heard of intelligence training toys. It helps a child’s growth as they play? Well, I’m not so sure about that, but I knew of various toys.

Of course, there weren’t toys that newborn babies would play, but if I remember correctly, there is a thing called a mobile that you attach to a crib, which plays music box sounds as it spins over a baby to soothe a baby.

I’ll make elephants, giraffes, rabbits, birds into cute decorations.

For the rotating part, I can draw a magic formula that would make it spin in a low speed. Additionally, the rotation will have prongs that would be used to play the melody of a music box.

I changed the color and types of hanging ornaments and made three similar crib mobiles.

I could hear the voices of Maria and the others who were sitting on the sofa a short distance away.

「Takumi-sama is making something yet again.」

「It is Takumi-sama’s job to create things, after all.」

「But ever since he learned of our pregnancies, it feels like he had lost all self control.」

「Fufu, isn’t that good? It’s all for our babies.」

Just as Maria had said, even I don’t think I have any self control. But there are very few things that a father can do. Maybe that’s why.

Now then, should I make the building blocks too?

The building blocks would be fine as long as I cut wood into squares, triangles, cylinders, and circles, so it was done in no time at all.

Oh yeah. I should make something that babies can bite. I’ve heard that when a baby starts teething, it would bite into all sorts of things.

I made it by altering the shape and firmness, and making it using safe materials.

Ah, maybe I should make a rattle.

Would a roly-poly doll be too outdated?

In the end, I made every last baby toy that I saw in my old world.

After that, Sophia and the others asked me to restrain myself, but I don’t regret it. We just have to make sure that Papeck-san doesn’t find out about them.
