Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 107

When we finally reached Volton and returned to the house, we were greeted by Titan, Akane-san, and Lulu-chan.

「We're back. Was your stay comfortable?」
「Yes, we were able to pass the time time pleasantly.」
「Let's discuss Akane-san and Lulu-chan's circumstances hereafter tomorrow.」
「………yes, please do.」
「P-please!」

Akane-san and Lulu-chan bowed deeply. We took turns taking baths, and I called Sophia and the others to the living room afterwards. I had something I wanted to suggest to them.

「As a matter of fact, Sophia and I have been promoted to A rank adventurers. So I was thinking it would be fine now and made up my mind, so it's alright to release Sophia, Maria, Laeva from the slavery contracts now.」

「Dispel!」「Dispel!」「Dispel!」

At once, the slave contracts of the three were dispelled.
The slave contract magic is classified as a curse. Therefore, the Light Attribute magic 『Dispel』 can dispel the curse. Conversely, slave contract magic is magic that sets contracts and release with the Dark Attribute.

Sophia, Maria, and Laeva's slave crest vanished the same time the curse was dispelled.

「Un, it seems it was dispelled properly.」
「…………Takumi-sama, please treat me well from here on.」
「Takumi-sama, please take care of me after this.」
「Takumi-sama, I'll work even harder than before.」
「Fufu, what a relief.」

「Un, treat me well like always.」

With this, there's no more slaves in our house, but it seems it would take Lulu-chan a while to get used to such a life.
I can imagine how slaves were treated in Sydnia, and the children as small as her were there, but there's little we could do.

「How is it? Have you settled into the life here?」

The morning after returning to Volton from the royal capital, I had a discussion with Akane-san and Lulu-chan regarding what would happen from here on in the living room.

「Yes. Because of the Toilet Purifier MD and the large bathroom with a magic device that produces hot water, I kept getting surprised.」
「I see, that's good then. So, it's not like Akane-san has officially defected from Sydnia, but I think you should talk to the King of this country. Because of that, I plan to explain the situation to Margrave Volton, and have Margave Volton report it to his Majesty.」

「…… the king and the nobles of this country?」
「For the meritorious deed of keeping towns sanitary, I earned the opportunity to meet him and received a monetary reward. The nobles I'm acquainted with are Margrave Volton and Earl Rockford, but both of them are friendly so I think you don't have to worry.」

When I said so, Sophia and Maria nodded.

「Of course, I believe that the safest place to hide is at my house for now, so that wouldn't change, but this matter might become an issue between countries, after all.」
「……I understand. Please help us.」
「P, please help us!」
「Un, don't worry, it's alright to leave it to me.」

I told Akane-san and Lulu-chan, who were bowing side-by-side, that there's no need to worry. Maybe, if it's Margrave Volton and his Majesty, they'd do well.
Without delay, I made an appointment with Margrave Volton.
