Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 537: Baby Supplies are in High DemandFreesia-san suddenly came to the Sanctuary. Moreover, knowing that she was staying until Sophia gives birth, I had no choice but to build more rooms in the annex.

Regarding Freesia-san, she still had a lot of time before the delivery date. Perhaps because she has absolutely nothing to do till then, I often see her having tea with Madam Elizabeth who was visiting Charlotte.

Does Dante-san really agree to this? Maybe it would be best to have Sophia write a letter to him to confirm.

As for me, now that I’ve reached a point where I can stop developing things for our unborn children, I should help out with the Capital Shop that I’ve been turning a blind eye to.

Merchandise lined the inside of a store in the Commerce District of the Royal Company. Large quantities of stock also filled the warehouse, and it was ready to open at any time.

The merchandise was mainly the games as originally planned.

It will sell readily available items such as playing cards, mahjong, reversi, table tennis, billiards, darts, to even some built-to-order items.

Inside that building were four young men and women moving around busily. They were transfers seconded from the Papeck Company.

As it would take too long to train employees from scratch, we solicited candidates from within Papeck-san’s company, with a tight limit of 4 people.

Surprisingly, Papeck-san grumbled that it was difficult choosing among the large number of candidates despite being a startup company.

Inside the living room of the store, I was having tea with Akane and Papeck-san.

「In any case, you must be looking forward to having three at the same time, but it must be a huge undertaking too.

「Well~ I was also surprised, you know?」 I still don’t know really know how I feel about it.」

「That’s how it is to be a father. Takumi-sama, you will know it once you see the face of your child when it is born.」

「Even so, isn’t it horrible of you to leave everything to someone else?」

「Paper diapers and baby wipes can be sold as a set. Strollers will be directed towards nobles. Paper diapers and baby wipes are impossible, but strollers can be done even by my company’s workshop.」

「We built our own company so you don’t earn the ire of other companies......」

「This is this, that is that. I am overcome with grief over how much profit I have given up with the games......」

「No, you could buy it from us and sell it to other regions and countries, right?」

We don’t sell the games in other cities and countries. That’s why Papeck-san was supposed to trade with our own company and be an outlet.

Well, this is also going to be sold by Earl Rockford’s company too though.

What I was trying to say was that it was a huge lie that he was grief-stricken over the sales of the games. Just because you aren’t involved in manufacturing doesn’t change the fact that earn a profit margin.

In the end, paper diapers, baby wipes, and strollers would end up in the Papeck Company as an outlet store.

It’ll be easy since it wouldn’t be handmade, but there is no doubt that my work had increased.

On the other hand, it was decided that we would recruit a (temporary) store manager for our business from the Papeck Company’s candidates.

Akane would be the advisor and president above that store manager.

She said that if she has many opportunities to come by the Royal Capital, she said that she might be able to come up with design ideas. Akane was undexterous so she could just design though.
