Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 510: Fluffing Miri and Lala

Emilia-chan and Madam Rose had some preparations to make, so theyll come to the Sanctuary after us.

What I saw upon returning ahead of them was Madam Elizabeth making herself at home in the mansion living room.

Charlottes mother, Madam Elizabeth, is an honorary baroness acting as the head of their noble house. But having lost their territory, they became landless nobles. Having lost all her managerial duties, I knew she had a lot of free time, but why was she smiling while holding the Cat Siths Miri and Lala?

Looking carefully, I saw my dice board game prototype laid out on the living room table. Were they playing with a game?

Fufufu, this fluff is so irresistable.

T-this is ticklish nyaa.

Oneechan, too tiiight nyaaa.

Thats not it, Madam Elizabeth was holding Miri and Lala captive.

I apologize for mother, Takumi-sama.

O-ohh, its you, Charlotte. Im home.

Coming up from behind and apologizing from behind was Madam Elizabeths own daughter, the head of our three civil officials, Charlotte.

Ah1 Takumi-oniichan! Help me nya!

Takumi-oniichaaaan!

Madam Elizabeth, Miri and Lala seem to be suffering, Id like you to be more act with moderation.

Oh my, Iruma-san, welcome home. Ive come to visit.

Were home is not it, why are you embracing Miri and Lala!?

I cant believe her body had been bedridden from worry until just recently, shes doing things in her own place these days.

Oh dear me, Iruma-san, if you speak so loudly, youll scare the little kitties.

No, Miri and Lala-chan arent afraid of me.

Takumi-oniichaaaaaan!

Takumi-oniichan, save us!!

Miri and Lala were flailing their short limbs in a desperate struggle against the cheeks that a very blissful Elizabeth was nuzzling them with. Was she a cat l over? But Wappa and Sara arent in sight.

Since I think would have gotten nowhere if I asked Madam Elizabeth, I turned to Charlotte for an explanation.

Meanwhile, perhaps having lost interest, Akane, Maria, and Laeva left each left the living room. One went to the workshop, one took a bath, and one returned to their room. Yup, Everyones free to do what they like.

So, how did this happen?

Yes. In truth, I imagined my mother would have would have grown tired of the lodge. As such, I would guide her around the Sanctuary, and take strolls through various places on my days off, but she saw Miri-chan and Lala-chan playing at the bowling alley

Sure, Cat Siths are rare, so it must have been her first time seeing the, but does Madam Elizabeth like cats? Wappa and the others arent here though.

Wappa-kun and Sara-chan had escaped.

Ahh, Wappa and Sara were quick, huh.

It seems Madam Elizabeth does like cats.

Huh? Were there no Catkin in the Royal Capital or the Vold Barony?

In our former domain, Mother hardly ever interacted with our people. It is for that reason that I, too, am perplexed by Mothers actions

Is that so? She might have been really stressed, but how about we go and rescue Miri and Lala first.

Yes.

Charlotte and I pulled Lala and Miri out from Madam Elizabeths grasp, and she exclaimed in disappointment

Ahhh~! My kitty cats!

Its alright if you play the board game and have tea with them, but you arent allowed to embrace them too intensely.

Ahhhhhhh, Iruma-san, so mean~ oh right. Kitty cats, would you like to come home with me?

Mother! What absurdities are are you saying!?

You cant. Miri and Lala have a mom and a dad. That would be kidnapping.

It is true that a Cat Sith looks small in comparison to Humans and other races even as adults, and children like Miri and Lala were even smaller and cuter. In fact, Miri and Lala were popular with the Sanctuary citizens and very much loved.

Very well then. If I live here, that would solve the problem, no? Oh my, what a bright idea. I can meet Charlotte all the time, and I can also meet these cute kitty cats as well. If this is settled, I must request that Father prepare my luggage.

Since she couldnt bring Miri and Lala with her, Madam Elizabeth suddenly said that she would migrate to the Sanctuary. Moreover, seeing how shes entrusting her luggage to Viscount Package, she really intends to settle down in the Sanctuary as she is.

Madam Elizabeth, was she always like this?

this is the first time I am learning of this as well.

But, honorary title or not, is it alright for a noble of Valkyra Kingdom to immigrate?

who knows?

Haa, this became a hassle. Ill need to confirm this with Lord Simon.
