Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 524: Nobles starved for entertainment

Chapter 524: Nobles starved for entertainment

The day after building the bowling alley, I remodeled the interior of the Lodge and built the games room.

I added a billiards table, dart board, table tennis table, mahjong table, a table for playing cards, and a bar counter to the games room.

I don’t know where they heard it from, but when I installed the bar counter, Doganbo-san and Golan-san popped up.

?Takumi, is this a place where you serve alcohol??

?Yup, I thought they could enjoy it while playing or while taking a break.?

?Takumi, is this a metal canteen? It’s got a different form though.?

?That’s a shaker.?

Golan-san was interested in the shaker, so I explained how to make cocktails, and he got into it.

?I see, so you’re going to blend the fruit juice and alcohol!? What an oversight! Isn’t that right, Doganbo!?

?Ou, Golan-aniki! So there were other methods of enjoying alcohol that we Dwarves were unaware of!??

?Takumi! Teach us how to make those cocktail things!?

?O-okay. C-close, you’re too close Golan-san.?

Spare me from being sandwiched between two sweaty, bearded, beer barreled men.

It couldn’t be helped, so I’ll teach them the several types of cocktail that I know how to make in my limited knowledge in alcohol.

Because of the varieties of alcohol made in the Sanctuary, it wasn’t just wine and whiskey, but we can also make vodka, gin, and beer, so we could try out all sorts of cocktails.

Screwdriver (Vodka + Orange Juice)

Gin Buck (Dry Gin + Ginger Ale + Lemon Juice)

Salty dog (Vodka + Grapefruit Juice + Table Salt)

Mimosa (Champagne + Orange Juice)

Mojito (Rum + Lime + Soda + Sugar + Mint Leaves)

Spritzer (White Wine + Soda)

Red Eye (Beer + Tomato Juice)

Daiquiri (Rum + Lime Juice + Sugar)

?What are the reasons for their names??

?Well, that much I don’t know.?

?Well, whatever. Doganbo, get some lime, orange, and grapefruit.?

?Ou! Let’s get all sorts of other things that we might be able to use, Golan-aniki!?

?You’re right. To not have a dwarven original cocktail is a chip at our pride as we are one with alcohol.?

Saying so, Golan-san and Doganbo-san ran out of the games room.

?This bar counter…… it looks like the Dwarves are going to turn into bartenders.?

?Let’s leave this to them.?

?Right.?

Doganbo-san and Golan-san started discussing alcohol to put into the bar, so Laeva and I headed back to the mansion after we finished checking everything, Let’s leave the bar to the Dwarves.

After a few days of preparations, the first one to arrive was Margrave Volton’s party. Considering the distance, this was par for the course.

?Iruma-dono, we will be in your care for while.?

?Please enjoy your stay.?

?Umu, I worked far ahead of schedule for this. Hahaha.?

?Master did his best.?

Neither Margrave Volton nor Xervus-san were in work mode. They’re raring to play.

After Margrave Volton checked in, he immediately wanted to see the games room and the bowling alley, so they asked the Sanctuary Residents who worked in the Lodge to show them around.

This time, they said that they don’t need us to entertain them. It seems they want to be left to play as they like.

No, to observe.

The next to arrive on on the same day Margrave Volton had, contrary to my expectations, was Viscount Packard. I thought that Earl Rockford would arrive much faster than Viscount Packard who lives in the Royal Capital, but perhaps because he wanted to see his daughter and granddaughter, he said that he would be in my care again even though he had already stayed here for several days just recently. Is his job okay?

And the next day, Earl Rockford arrived.

?Hahaha, Iruma-dono, please take care of us for the time being!?

?Welcome, Earl Rockford.?

?Iruma-san, please invite us to your mansion too.?

?Y-yes, please.?

?I want to go to Takumi-san’s mansion too!?

?Ha- haha, Emilia-chan and Rod-kun, please come if you have time.?

?I apologize for Mother and Sister.?

The powerful Madam Rose and the lively Emilia-chan, and the worldly-wise Rod-kun. Good luck, Rod-kun.

And lastly, the day after Earl Rockford’s party arrived, Lord Simon arrived from the Royal Capital.

?Iruma-dono, thank you for coming to meet me. I shall be in your favor.?

?I would like you to enjoy your time, but will your work be alright??

?Ha ha ha, it is not a problem. In order to take a long holiday, I had been working without any sleep these past few days.?

?Ha, haha, then that’s fine.?

This is an observation, right? Lord Simon had said vacation, and he seemed to have brought his family with him.

According to what I have heard, Margrave Volton, Earl Rockford, and Lord Simon’s purpose was to observe the bowling alley. I had to emphasize that vacation wasn’t the main reason.
