Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 102

We're making progress with our plan to raise our strength. We spent everyday busily, like with the development of magic devices, and production of various potions and development of advanced potions.

On one such day, when we turned up at the Adventurers Guild, Hans-san said that a notification arrived to all branches stating that the Divine Empire of Sydnia performed a hero summoning.

「Apparently there were 3 people, young boys and a girl with black hair and eyes.」
「Has the Light G.o.d Faith said anything?」
「No, they haven't said anything so far, but the Light G.o.d Churches in Lomaria Kingdom and Valkyra Kingdom seem to be making rounds.」
「A propaganda, isn't it?」
「The Light G.o.d Faith wouldn't miss this opportunity to increase their influence in Valkyra and Lomaria, now would they?」
It appears the Light G.o.d Church plans to use the the heroes as advertis.e.m.e.nts for a while.

But, I did gain something too. It was said that the 3 people summoned were two boys and a girl, and all of them seemed to be j.a.panese with had black hair and eyes. Currently, they're likely being surrounded by Sydnia and are receiving training.

「They'll come to the royal capital of Valkyra, right?」
「They probably will. Changing topics, there is a designated request from the Papeck Company for Tak.u.mi-kun's party. It's to escort a merchant unit until the capital. This will serve you will for raising ranks. What will you do?」
「Of course we will accept.」

「I'm home.」
「「「「Welcome home.」」」」

I talked to everyone about the designated request when I returned to the mansion.

「I accepted a request that would also serve as Maria and Laeva's rank up exam from Hans-san.」
「When will we depart?」
「We plan to leave in 3 days.」
「Then I'll speed up the delivery of potions.」
「I will replenish our foodstuff with Marnie-san.」

Laeva headed to the workshop to hasten the delivery of various potions. Maria invited Marnie to go shopping with her at the market.

「Now then, Sophia, shall we do maintenance on the equipment?」
「Yes, I will be waiting at the workshop then.」

Thus, when we began preparing for our escort request, as a mischief of fate, a chance meeting with my countrymen drew near.
「Tch, can't this carriage stop shaking? Like by adding suspension.」

Akira Jinguji spouted abusive language as he was waited upon by women at both sides.

「Apparently carriages with suspension are starting to appear in the markets of Valkyra Kingdom and Lomaria Kingdom.」

A muscular young man with short black hair, Yamato Taiga, answered thus.

Akane Misato looked at them with cold eyes.

「(I have to escape during this expedition somehow,)」

The young people from j.a.pan summoned to Mildgard through the hero summoning were given the task of going to each nation as an advertis.e.m.e.nt to acquire believers. Simultaneously, it is also a trip to gather large sums of offerings.

「We're going to Valkyra Kingdom after this, so there will be beastkin and elves, right? Can't we buy some at a slave dealer?」
「Akirsama, with the exception of criminal slaves, the slave dealers of Valkyra Kingdom prohibit taking the slaves out of the country.」

A priest of the Light G.o.d Faith requested the rash Akira to restrain himself.

Akane's eyes grew even colder at the remarks of Akira and Yamato who unceasingly grew more arrogant, and her feelings of wanting to leave this place strengthened.

Witnessing Sydnia's wrongful treatment of slaves, Akane increasingly believed she had to escape from Sydnia. But in that case, she had to think of a way to save Lulu who had been enslaved since birth. She couldn't use 『Dispel』 yet, so she couldn't cancel the slavery contract curse.

「(But I have a feeling something good will happen at Valkyra Kingdom. Maybe.)」

Akane felt that her fate would s.h.i.+ft at the royal capital of Valkyra Kingdom.
