Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 557: Milk for Everyone

As I got closer with my presence concealed, I could really see just how gigantic the Milqueen was.

?……I’ll make it sleep, so be careful not to hurt it.?

?Roger.?

Nyx appeared and cast a spell to make the Milqueens sleep.

Once we were sure they were asleep, Kaede and I, as well as Titan who came out of the Subspace, jumped in.

Just as it swayed and was about to fall, I enveloped my entire body with magic power to increase my strength so I could catch it gently and slowly lay it down.

Kaede and Titan caught the other swaying Milqueens and set them down gently.

The Milqueen calf was blown a gentle wind by Sylph.

Because of the Milqueens’ large bodies, I thought they might injure themselves when they suddenly lose consciousness, so I got help from Kaede and Titan to support the sleeping Milqueens.

If it had been a powerful monster, it would have possessed a large amount of magic power within its body that it wouldn’t even have a gash if it fell, but Milqueens were low rank monsters, so it would be risky if it gets hit in a bad spot.

?Fuh, thanks guys. We managed to catch them without any incident.?

???????????? ??? ?? ??? ?????

?Master, let’s go home already.?

Tsubaki and Titan returned to the Subspace, I stored the carriage into the Item Box, and teleported to the ranch in the Sanctuary with the safely captured Milqueens.

There, we were greeted with cheers.

?Ohhhh!! They’re huge!?

?Uwaaa! That’s a huge cow!?

?Miss cow is huge nya!?

The fatigue from a huge chunk of magic power by teleporting the four gigantic Milqueens disappeared in an instant when I heard the delighted cheers from Laeva and the kids.

?Hey, hey, Oniichan, is miss cow dead nya??

?That’s nyot it, Lala. They’re sleeping nya.?

Pulling on my pants, the younger Cat Sith Lala asked in worry, but before I could answer, her older sister Miri told her that they were just sleeping.

?She’s right, Lala. They might have gotten hurt if they went wild from being surprised, so we made them sleep.?

?So that’s it nya. That’s a relief nya.?

The Milqueens who gradually woke up from their sleep did not act violently, and listened to us obediently without needing to be tamed.

?Master, I think they understand that this place is safe. I think they understand they would be protected from other monsters here.?

?Would they get mad if we milked them??

?I think it would be okay, but we should test it out.?

After Tsubaki and Titan came out of the Subspace to make sure they don’t go wild and cause damage, I tried milking one.

The Milqueen was a bit bewildered when it saw what I was doing, but it calmed down after realizing that I wasn’t attacking it, so it quietly allowed me to continue.

I casted ?Purification? on the four Milqueens and the milking bucket, then I tried milking it the way I saw on TV in my old life.

?Ohh! A large amount of milk is coming out. The bucket is gonna fill up really quickly if this keeps up.?

?Takumi-sama, Takumi-sama, Laeva wants to mimic you.?

?Takumi-oniichan, let me try too!?

?Me too!?

?Miri too! Miri too nya!?

?Lala wants to try the pshuuu too nya!?

While I was milking the Milqueen, Laeva jumped in saying that she wanted to try doing it, and that sparked the kids into wanting to participate as well.

?Okay, okay. We’ll take turns then.?

After I cast ?Purification? on Laeva and the children, they took turns experiencing milking the cow.

Docile it may be, the Milqueen was still a monster, so Kaede, Tsubaki, Titan, and I were alert and on standby so we could respond to anything, but that worry was unnecessary. The gigantic cows seemed to enjoy the milking, as they made movements that seem like they felt good during the process.

The milk squeezed out of the Milqueen soon filled 10 buckets.

?Master……?

?Umm, ……………okay.?

Then before I knew it, Maribelle was already looking at me with a gaze that wanted something.

Understanding what Maribelle was trying to say, I casted purifying magic on all of the milk collected.

Normally, the milk found in supermarkets and convenience stores were heat sterilized. There was milk that was sterilized by high temperatures for a few seconds, and there was also a slightly more expensive milk that was pasteurized for some time in lower temperatures.

But magic exists in this world. With purifying magic, I am able to procure safe milk that doesn’t compromise on taste.

Maribelle ordered the maids she brought with her from the mansion, they left one bucket of milk and carried the rest back into the mansion.

Then she pointed to the one remaining bucket and looked at me.

?……I get it.?

I cooled the bucket of milk to a drinkable temperature.

It was then that Maribelle distributed wooden cups to the children.

Yup, everyone wants a taste.

The taste of a Milqueen’s milk was of the finest quality that I have never tasted before.
