Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

As my wives’ pregnant bellies grew larger, Sylph, Undine, Dryas, and Selene visited my mansion more often.

This showed that their due dates were approaching.

In the end, Freesia-san did not return to Yggurle Kingdom even once, and no choice but to ask to write a letter to Dante-san. Of course, both Sophia and I wrote letters explaining the situation to Dante-san.

Dante-san wrote back saying that that he was sorry for imposing but he would like us to let Freesia-san stay until she feels like it. Seeing Freesia-san’s domineer, Dante-san must have been because of Dante-san’s tolerance. …… or so I would like to think.

Madam Elizabeth also showed no signs of returning to the Royal Capital.

From time to time, Viscount Packard would visit Madam Elizabeth and Charlotte, but Madam Elizabeth herself does not want to go back. She is a noble of Valkyra Kingdom, will she be alright?

And Madam Lumia.

As to be expected, she is the Queen of Yggurle Kingdom, so I thought it was impossible for her to live in the Sanctuary, but…… she’s only gone back a couple of times, and after a few days in Yggurle Kingdom, she comes back with more personal belongings.

Madam Lumia’s personal maids increased, and she said she would be retire and stay with Mimir-sama in the Sanctuary.

That Madam Lumia seemed to like the Cat Sith sisters Miri and Lala, and I often see her cuddling them.

And so, while passing the average day like any other, the time finally came.

Sophia went into labor.

「Wait! Don’t walk around the corridor like a restless bear!」

「That’s right nya. Takumi-sama, calm down nya.」

「Ah, yeah, sorry.」

Restless and unable to calm down In front of the door Sophia was in, I was scolded by Akane and Lulu-chan.

Inside the room were, of course, Sophia, Maribelle who has the techniques of a midwife, Mabel who is acting as her assistant, as well as the Great Spirits Sylph, Undine, Dryas, and Selene who were watching over the delivery to make sure nothing goes wrong.

In reality, there was not many things I could do, recovery magic would have been helpful, but Selene was already there.

To calm down, I sat on the chair placed in the hallway.

Katakatakatakatakata……

「Takumi-sama, your fidgeting is too noisy.」

「Ah, s-sorry.」

Unbeknownst to me, I was fidgeting.

「You’re about to become a dad so it would be better for you to toughen up.」

「Haa, Freesia-san, you’re so calm. Are you not worried?」

It was the birth of my first child, so I though Freesia-san somewhat understood how I’m feeling because it’s her grandchild, but she was acting normally for some reason.

「You see, Sylph-sama and the Great Spirits are here. They are watching over the delivery. I’m certain the delivery will be safe.」

「Is that how it is?」

「It is. To us Elves, the Great Spirits are objects of worship. It will be alright because such beings are present.」

I’m made to realize once again that the Great Spirits were revered beings to the Elves. It was impossible for me to see the usual Sylph and Dryas and be reassured of my child’s safe birth with just their presence.

After that, Freesia-san invited me to drink tea in the living room because the delivery will take time, but I didn’t move away from the front of the room.

Freesia-san moved to the living room with Akane and Lulu-chan.

Laeva came with drinks, the maids brought food, and Charlotte delivered documents. The last one displeased me though.

Perhaps because it was a first for me in both lives I’ve lived, or maybe because I was frustrated with how useless I was, but this went on for six hours.

I don’t know how long it would take, or what the average even was.

Then, while I was talking to Freesia-san, Akane, Lulu-chan, and Laeva, it happened.

Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!

We all stood up immediately and watched the door.

The door opened and Maribelle came out.

「Congratulations, Master. It’s a healthy baby girl. Sophia-sama is also safe.」

「Congratulations, Takumi.」

「Congratulations nya.」

「Congratulations!」

「S-she did it!!」

I was so happy I jumped for joy. That got me scolded by Maribelle and Freesia-san, but I couldn’t help it.
