Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Afterwards, I heard various other detailed requests from Freesia-san.

The building will be two stories tall, with a room for a servant. One toilet on each floor. There will be two bathrooms, one for the couple, and another for the servant. Needless to say, it absolutely must be near our mansion.

And now, I was going to the site of Freesia-san’s intended mansion lot with her.

It was a two minute walk from my mansion.

The central district where Mimir’s and my mansion are built had the cathedral and music hall, but it wasn’t a residential area, so there was plenty of space. And so, it was possible to build Freesia-san’s residence a stones throw away from mine like she wanted.

「A garden similar to the one at the Sylphide mansion would be fine.」

「Umm, so a decent size then.」

「Yes, if it’s too big, it would be hard to maintain.」

「I don’t think it would be that hard to do.」

「Yes. There are a lot of Dryas’ familial Spirits here, so they take care of the trees, flowers, and lawn in the garden.」

「Oh, really? But it’s fine. More than likely, only Dante would use it.」

「I-I

I can’t ask. I can’t ask Freesia-san if she plans on spending most of her time at my house.

「Please use mainly wood for the building.」

「I guess as an elf, wood is better?」

「No, that’s irrelevant. It’s just a matter of personal taste.」

「Is that so? My house uses stone and bricks in addition to wood, so I thought Sophia was just tolerating it.」

As with Sophia, when I built Mimir-sama’s mansion, it was the same as ours, and we didn’t focus on making it with wood, so I thought they were putting up with it when they used it.

Freesia-san’s request was an ivy-crawled mansion.

The ivy would damage the walls when covered, but in Yggurle Kingdom, the wood walls weren’t damaged, perhaps because of the spirits. It was fine in Yggurle Kingdom, so naturally, it would be fine here.

We arrived at the planned location all too soon. It’s not that I feel it’s far too close, but it was impossible for Freesia-san to be any farther than this.

After waiting in that area for a little while, Dryas appeared.

「Dryas, thanks for coming.」

「It’s okay~ Takumi-chan~ You can always depend on this Oneechan~」

The reason why I asked Dryas to come was because there were pretty flowers and trees that need to grow in house that I am building for Freesia-san and Dante-san today. Outside the Sanctuary, the soil would need to be prepared, but here, we have a special way of doing it.

「Here I go~ Okay, scooch over a little you two~」

As Dryas outstretched her hands, and the vegetation at the site began moving.

「I will take these babies to an empty lot, okay~」

「Thanks, Dryas. See you at the mansion.」

「Thank you very much, Dryas-sama.」

「All good, all good~」

Dryas walked away, taking the plants with her. The grass and plants move out of the way and return, as if making a way for those plants that Dryas took with her.

When Freesia-san and I thanked her, she waved her hand and walked off.

Now then, it’s my job from here on. I need to level the land that Dryas had cleared of vegetation.

「Okay, I’ll prepare the soil first.」

I poured magic power into the land to flatten it and hardened it.

「Like this, I guess? I will build it in one go, so please make the small adjustments after that.」

「Ehn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Freesia-san was dumbfounded for some reason, but I paid it no mind and continued with the build.

I withdrew the stones and a large amount of Treant wood from my Item Box. Additionally, I also took out quartz, soda ash, and quicklime for the window panes.

I took a deep breath and concentrated. I brought to mind the blueprint of the house that Freesia-san wanted, and held a solid image of it. Then, to not make any mistakes, I amassed more magic power than usual so it permeates through the materials, and invoked alchemy.

「『Transmute』!」

A magic circle of the same size as the mansion lit up the ground then covered the materials.

Then, in the next instant, a two-story wooden mansion stood before us.

「Mhmm, that looks well made.」

「Takumi-chan~ It’s Oneechan’s turn~」

As soon as the mansion was completed, Dryas returned.

The naked ground was covered by lawn grass, and the mansion’s exterior was adorned with ivy.

「Ohh! That’s perfect, Dryas.」

「Right? You can praise me more~」

Thanks to Dryas, Freesia-san and Dante-san’s home transformed into a western-style home was crawling with ivy in a blink of an eye.

「Now then, Freesia-san, let’s check the inside.」

「……y-yes, You’re right.」

「Then this Oneechan will be having tea at Takumi-chan’s house, okay~」

「Yeah, thanks Dryas.」

Now then, we have to check the inside and install some magic devices and fixtures.

I urged Freesia-san to enter the mansion.

I was a bit curious about Freesia-san’s expression, could it be that she doesn’t like it?
