Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 504: Games Room

Joining in on the games, I also had more fun than I had imagined.

Its fun because the Body Control and Insight that were for fighting was helpful in a nice way.

A soccer boom had arrived in the Sanctuary, where a bowling boom was already happening.

Although the bowling alley added more lanes, considering the number of residents in the Sanctuary, of course it was too few, so there was always a one to two hour wait at any given time.

Then with the completion of the soccer field, the residents who watched the childrens match and the matches afterwards with Akane and Maria must have formed soccer teams.

And so, several soccer teams were formed in the Sanctuary.

A team mainly composed of the Mermaids.

A team consisting of Beastkin and Cat Siths.

A team founded around the Elves.

A team of humans.

These four teams were formed.

Then Akane and Maria were treated as helpers for each team. Apparently, if they were on the same team, that team was guaranteed victory.

You wouldnt immediately be skilled at soccer with just physical capabilties, but it was, inevitably, an overwhelming advantage.

In the end, soccer did not become my stress reliever. As the one with the highest status among our people, I was excluded.

Moreover, I got a request from the residents to improve the soccer fields. They wanted stands to be able to watch the matches.

From a grass soccer field, an impressive grandstand worthy of hosting the J League was created.

Before I had realized it, it had turned into a full fledged stadium complete with toilets, locker rooms, and even shower rooms.

Several days after the soccer stadium was completed, I was drinking tea in my living room as I contemplated over things.

Since soccer is like this, baseball will be the same, huh.

I am not aware of what baseball is, but it would be difficult with matches that are heavily influenced by physical abilities.

Right. Rather than a team match, it would only be possible in individual sports like bowling.

Sophia, who didnt know baseball, was also of the same opinion. Even Akane agreed, saying that team sports would only be possible for normal people.

In team sports like soccer and baseball, if there was too much of a disparity between the players strengths, the game balance would be disrupted. I understand that bowling was a sport that doesnt rely too heavily on someones physical capabilities.

Well, Lulu and I enjoy being helpers every once in a while, so its not a problem.

At present, when high level players participate in soccer, both sides of the team need to have the same number of them on each team.

Then I can also join in, right?

Ah, in the case for you and Sophia, wouldnt that be impossible? After all, just the other day, you two were moving like they do in mangas without batting an eye, werent you? So obviously, it would be unreasonable even if you say youd be a helper.

y-you have a point.

It seems we had overdone it in the game just recently. Sure, its clear cut if you look at it objectively.

And even if the residents of the Sanctuary think so, its troublesome since they cant tell me without restraint.

Even I am aware that the residents are unable to speak me, the Keeper of the Sanctuary, without restraint.

But hey, havent you achieved your original goal?

Original goal ahh, yeah.

In a world where there was very few forms of entertainment, I made a bowling alley to be enjoyed by the residents of the Sanctuary. However, it was so popular that the waiting time was too long, which was why I thought of playing soccer.

Then we have to think of something that we would enjoy after that.

well, thats fine, but you actually just like to think and make things, dont you?

Obviously. You might have forgotten, but Im an artisan.

Ahh, yup, I lose the definition of what an artisan is when I look at you.

I thought what Akane was saying seemed reasonable, but I just glossed over it and thought about what we could enjoy.

What about table tennis? If we played without teammates, it doesnt seem like it would be an issue. In Darts, people who have high throwing skills would have a huge advantage, and its useless because everyone of us, aside from the servants, have it.

How about we just extend the mansion to have a spacious games room for the time being?

well, thats fine, I guess. We have a lot of space.

Indeed. I believe that is a great idea, the maids would also be able to use it as a break from work on their day off.

Youre right. Ill start on it soon.

Our maids and butlers have scheduled days off. Here, if it wasnt set beforehand then no one would take the day off, after all.

I transmuted a games room in between my mansion and the maids. At that time, the ground had been flattened carefully using Earth Magic.

One of the games I was thinking of needed a level room, after all.
