Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 540: Creating toys (Volume 11 START)

Recently, it feels like Sophia, Maria, and Marnie’s stomachs have been getting bigger, so it’s been hard for me to relax in the living room even though it’s my home, and so the workshop has become the place where I could feel at ease.

The reason was, of course, because the living room was often the location of the tea party held by Madam Elizabeth, Freesia-san, and Madam Lumia.

There’s a perfectly good place right next door, why did it have to be at my house?

Especially Madam Lumia. Please just have your tea parties at Mimir’s house. My stomach won’t last.

「Takumi-sama, you also have it rough.」

「I apologize for Mother.」

I received consolation from Laeva who was working in the workshop. Sophia apologized for Freesia-san’s actions, but she’s not to blame for that. Of course, I knew that Freesia-san had no ill will and was just excited about having a grandchild. However, her actions were just a bit extreme.

The living room was occupied by the three mothers, so I was often in the workshop. As a result, Sophia, Maria, and Marnie spent a lot of their time in the workshop too.

The dreary atmosphere of the workshop wasn’t ideal for my pregnant wives, so we added tables and a sofa there. The workshop is spacious, so there was a lot of room.

「Do you know what Freesia-san and Madam Elizabeth are doing right now?」

「Eh? Aren’t they having tea in the living room?」

I don’t know why she was grinning as she asked that, but they should have been having a tea party in our living room.

「Fufu, a tea party is a tea party, but they’re also knitting.」

「Ah, knitting...... wait, could it be?」

「They are knitting socks for our babies.」

「What!?」

I changed the color and types of hanging ornaments and made three similar crib mobiles.

I could hear the voices of Maria and the others who were sitting on the sofa a short distance away.

「Takumi-sama is making something yet again.」

「It is Takumi-sama’s job to create things, after all.」

「But ever since he learned of our pregnancies, it feels like he had lost all self control.」

「Fufu, isn’t that good? It’s all for our babies.」

Just as Maria had said, even I don’t think I have any self control. But there are very few things that a father can do. Maybe that’s why.

Now then, should I make the building blocks too?

The building blocks would be fine as long as I cut wood into squares, triangles, cylinders, and circles, so it was done in no time at all.

Oh yeah. I should make something that babies can bite. I’ve heard that when a baby starts teething, it would bite into all sorts of things.

I made it by altering the shape and firmness, and making it using safe materials.

Ah, maybe I should make a rattle.

Would a roly-poly doll be too outdated?

In the end, I made every last baby toy that I saw in my old world.

After that, Sophia and the others asked me to restrain myself, but I don’t regret it. We just have to make sure that Papeck-san doesn’t find out about them.
