Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 78

In the training center of the Adventurers Guild, an intense battle was unfolding, us falling down and crawling on the ground who knows how many times.

The battle training was arranged to be for the duration of winter, but for some reason, it continues even in spring.

「Haa, haa, haa, wh-y is, training, still, continuing?」

As always, Barack-san smiled and laughed at the question I rolled out well.

「That's cuz I'm boー, no, we've already trained this much, won't it be a waste to stop now?」
「Haa, j, just know, you were about to say “bored”, weren't you?」

After coming back from Volton, we received our reward for the subjugation of thieves, but Barack-san told us to hurry up rising to B rank. At that time, I was coerced into the continuing the battle training. Sophia and the girls were eager, so refusing was difficult and so, I am worked hard everyday.
As it is now spring, adventurers are coming back to Volton, so adventurers apart from us could now be seen here and there at the training center.

「Switching the topic, Hans said to hurry up and think of a name for your party and submit it.」
「A party name?…… like Heath-san's party is the 『Lion's Fang』, right?」
「Yeah, all your rankings are rising, and even your party rank is D rank, ain't it? As expected, it would be awkward if you're forever nameless.」

A party name, huh. It never occurred to me, but what should we do?

「I'll discuss it with Sophia and the girls.」
「A'ight., tell Hans when you've decided.」
「Understood.」

Sophia and Maria gave it some thought too.
A name like 『Lion's Fang』 doesn't suit us. In the first place, our activities as adventurers are a pretext for gathering materials.

「 How does『Takumi-sama and his servants』 sound?」
「No, just what is that.」

Maria's naming sense is a negative.

「Hmm, how about 『Wings of the Goddess』?」
「Wings of Goddess Norn-sama? That's nice.」

「Master, what to do with this?」

First thing in the morning, Kaede asked me this and pointed at a pile of large silk cocoons in the garden.

「Did you do this, Kaede?」
「Yup, last night, you see, they broke into our house so Kaede caught them.」
「………… let me check for a bit.」

When I cut up one of the silk cocoons and peeked inside, an obviously suspicious person covered in black clothing had broken in.

「Kaede, are they dead?」
「Hmmm, it's temporary death.」
「Ahh, you used paralytic toxin.」

No matter how you look at it, they definitely trespassed to kill us.

「Sophia, Maria, can you two make contact with Barack-san? For the time being, I'd like you two to always move as a pair no matter where you go.」
「「Yes!」」

Sophia and Maria rushed out of the mansion and ran to the guild.
