Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 339  Inconvenient situation

The wedding ceremony being planned for Takumi, Sophia, Maria, and Marnie was a more serious matter than they had expected.

「Thanks to His Majesty instigating Iruma-dono, incessant inquiries have been coming from Lomaria Kingdom and Samandour Kingdom.」
「No, it’s troubling if they inquire with our country……」

Ten days have passed since Margrave Volton and Earl Rockford took Takumi along for the audience. Nevertheless, inquiries came from the nobles and wealthy merchants of the two countries. People who want to have a connection to Takumi.

「At His Majesty’s one careless comment, masses of people in the content are swarming Iruma-dono. Iruma-dono is not the type to come out center stage of his own accord, but influential nobles and merchants have noticed the various items brought about by Iruma-dono. If one does a bit of investigation behind the great strides of the Papeck Company, they would find out. So where Iruma-dono’s wedding is concerned……」
「People would definitely want to attend.」

First, there is an issue of where the wedding would be held. It would become an issue if Takumi chooses to hold the wedding in the Sanctuary. That place was one that not even Prime Minister Simon nor the King, could enter freely. Among the key figures of the nations, the sole person who could enter the Sanctuary freely was Yggurle Kingdom’s Princess Mimir.

「Isn’t that bad?」
「Yes, very much so. Despite his base being located in Valkyra Kingdom, there is a possibility that there would be no attendees from our nation in the wedding of Iruma-dono, who is an important figure despite being a commoner. We would need the permission of the Great Spirits to enter the Sanctuary.」
「That’s bad… That’s bad, Simon!」

The attendance of high nobility and monarchy in a commoner’s wedding would normally be aberrant. However, Takumi’s existence was the embodiment of that aberrance.

When he was based in Volton, he created and popularized useful magic devices by way of the Papeck Company. Because of the Purifier MD and the Toilet MD which has a similar function in particular, the number of epidemics brought on greatly by the city’s sanitation had decreased sharply, and the decrease in infant mortality had greatly benefited the country.
King Lobos and Simon could not have imagined that the betterment of the sanitary conditions would become the country’s foundation in protecting its citizens,
On top of this, owing to the hand pump for the water wells, cities and villages were liberated from this difficult chore and their productivity increased.

「That is not all. The various potions created by Iruma-dono had increased the survivability of adventurers, thereby decreasing the damages from monsters.」

The potions that Takumi and Laeva sell to the Papeck Company and the Adventurers Guild had become the adventurers’ powerful ally with its low cost, quality, and high efficacy.
Normal adventurer parties do not have people who could use recovery magic, so a potion with high efficacy was a valuable lifeline.

「The Papeck Company seems to export those potions to other countries as well.」
「Yes, it is very popular despite the small quantities.」

And most importantly, Takumi was the person in charge of the Sanctuary.

「Above all, the rare herbs produced from the Sanctuary and the materials relating to the Spirit Tree. The supreme fruits grown by the Elves, and the various types of alcohol such as wine produced by the Dwarves living in the Sanctuary. No matter the product, nobles and merchants inside and outside our nation would like to obtain them.」
「There are products produced from the Sanctuary, yes, but the greatest effect of the Sanctuary is the benefit of purifying the Savage lands which, not only our nation but also Yggurle Kingdom and Lomaria receives.」

Beginning at Wedgefort, the city built by the Trination alliance in the Savage lands where the current Sanctuary is situated, Valkyra Kingdom, Yggurle Kingdom, and Lomaria Kingdom of the Trination Alliance have all been growing prosperously in recent years. All of these were because of the Takumi’s Sanctuary management.

「Pushing the daughters of nobles and royalty would be a poor move. At the worst, Iruma-dono would part with our nation. However, as long as he still has a base within our territory, we must show that we have a strong bond with him than any other nation.」
「If possible, I would like the ceremony to be held in the large church in the Royal Capital, but I wouldn’t mind Volton.」

To King Lobos and Simon, it would be momentous to have the ceremony be performed in Valkyra Kingdom.

「Ask Lord Volton and Lord Rockford for their assistance, if we could somehow hold the ceremony in our country, we can gain our attendance.」
「Umu, let’s ask the Papeck Company President for his cooperation too.」

King Lobos and Prime Minister secretly acted to keep information from leaking to other countries so the ceremony could be held in Valkyra Kingdom.
