Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 498: The Mountain of Documents

Sophia and I brought Charlotte with us and moved to the study.

Ugeh!

My voice leaked out reflexively.

Before me, the mountain of paperwork increased by 50% compared to before I left.

Master, please have these documents completed by the end of this day.

Placing the documents he had in hand down, Jeeves spoke and tried to leave the room.

W-wait! Jeeves, are you not going to help!?

Yes. I have tasks that I must do. My apologies.

Jeeves bowed with graceful conduct and walked out of the study.

Ah- w- wait, is he really not going to help?

Please give up. Jeeves also has a job to do.

Fine. Then Charlotte, please sort out the documents.

very well.

Though she was surprised that the amount of documents was more than she had expected, Charlotte picked up a document near her.

A while after Charlotte started sorting through the documents, there was a knock on the door, then Marnie came back with Gina and Ana.

We have returned.

Oh, how was the Sanctuary?

It was an immensely beautiful scenery, and the people living here are all full of smiles!

it was amazing.

Gina was so excited, and despite her quiet statement, I could tell that even Ana was moved.

Ah, Charlotte-san, youve come back.

When Sophia and I gave a light explanation, even Ana and Charlotte were dumbfounded.

Ah, its because the sale of Soma is not subject to tax.

Eh, is that so?

Yup, its the same for the Sanctuary wine, but that doesnt apply to items produced and sold in the Sanctuary. Theres no such thing as tariffs.

I see.

I dont use the Volton workshop much these days, so I make things in the Sanctuary, though there many of them that were subject to taxation based on sales to be paid to Valkyra Kingdom .

However, the revenue relating to patents are subject to tax that I pay to Valkyra Kingdom. It was troublesome because it changes based on the item.

It seems my new assistants finally grasped why I hired them.

Still, calculating this would be plenty of work.

Im glad we have an abundance of paper, but this amount and the money

the amount of money is far too different in magnitude from my parents business.

Gina and Charlottes expressions stiffened. Anas cool countenance also crumbled.

Calculate oh yeah. Its hard to calculate, huh.

Is something the matter?

Seeing me brood, Sophia asked out of concern.

Youre right. Calculations are hard, so we should make it faster.

Knowing that I went into creator mode, Sophia understood and went back into escort mode.

If math is hard, then I just have to make a device that would make it easier.

I immediately called out to everyone and went to the workshop.

Lets make something to relieve the stress of paperwork, shall we?
