Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 534: Forgetting Something Important

As I was making a cradle, bassinet, and stroller, I had forgotten something important.

It was something the baby uses many of everyday.

「Let’s make paper diapers.」

Yes, diapers.

The diapers in this world were, of course, cloth diapers.

This was also the case in ancient Japan, but washing cloth diapers to reuse it is a hassle. Naturally, this world has Purification Magic, so it wasn’t much of a comparison, but there are not that many people were capable of using Purification Magic.

It’s exceptionally rare, but there were people around me who could use Light Magic, and those who could use Purifying Magic were Akane, Laeva, and myself. That’s why cloth diapers might have been fine, but whether or not a child would be comfortable with it is different matter.

「Paper diapers?」

Don’t look at me like you’re asking if I’ve made another strange thing, Laeva.

「Yes, a diaper that is disposable would be easier on the mother.」

「Certainly, washing a cloth diaper is a hassle, but will the paper be alright?」

「That part’s alright. Laeva, you’re aware that paper can be surprisingly durable depending on how it’s made, right?」

「That is indeed the case, but paper isn’t very absorbent.」

「I’ve thought of that so it’s fine.」

I never got to experience marriage in my last life, but I have changed the diapers of my nephew and niece. At that time, I remember admiring the superiority of paper diapers.FiNd updates on n(o)/velbin(.)com

Aside from that, I remember the technology of paper diapers being used for greening the desert. If I remember correctly, it used a water absorbent polymer.

That said, I don’t know the components of that water absorbent polymer.

Was I giving up? Of course not. This is a world of swords and magic. There are alternatives if you look for it, and this is what’s called the royal road of fantasy.

「Tadahhh, we’ll use this.」

「These translucent beads?」

「It looks like that, but you’re wrong. This is a slime.」

We made several prototypes especially for the slime distribution.

「Takumi-sama, wouldn’t this be troublesome if not for alchemy?」

「Of course. We will need a lot of paper diapers, so we’ll have to make the final product using that. We will have to make it in several sizes too.」

「Ohh! Babies grow older, after all! As expected of Takumi-sama!」

「Nah, you’re exaggerating. Anyone would have realized that.」

Anyway, I knew a lot about paper diapers. I often saw mothers carrying paper diapers with both hands in the drugstores, after all.

And so, Laeva and I worked together to complete the paper diaper.

「We’ve done it now, Takumi-sama!」

「Thank you Laeva. It’s thanks to you that we completed it.」

「We should by all means sell these! It is for the good of all mothers in the world!」

「T-to sell?」

If we were to sell these, I have a feeling this might be a huge undertaking because the market is enormous. No, it will definitely be trouble.

「W-well, Laeva, we still have to make a magic device to throw the used diapers into.」

「Eh? A magic device?」

「Yeah, we have to make an attachable purifying magic device for the trash can.」

「Ohh! That is essential.」

「Yep, yep.」

Was I able to trick her? It would be a difficult if we even enter the market for children’s articles. Papeck-san would be glad since it can’t be handled by a company without its sales.

Ah, I suppose I should make that too then......
