Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 283

Good Work

Undine’s voice called out to me, who was lost in my strong emotions.

「Takumi, this child, the core of this dungeon, is now gone, so it would be best to escape this dungeon quickly.」
「Eh!?」
「Undine, that is too inadequate. Takumi granted our request.」
「It’s just as Sylph says. We will teleport you to the outside.」

Just as Salamander stated so, light engulfed everyone on the floor, and in the next instant, we were outside the dungeon.

「What’s that in your hand, Undine?」
「This child is a Wandering Spirit that barely has any power now. After several decades and months, it will become a low ranking Spirit with its own ego. It would take hundreds of years for it to become a mid-ranking then high-ranking Spirit. This time, we will keep watch of it by our side so that it does not distort to people’s wills.」
「Well, to begin with, it would not have any recollection of falling to evil.」

Gnome looked at the the wandering Spirit in Undine’s hand with pity.

「M-may I have a moment, Iruma-dono?」

While I was talking to the Great spirits, Queen Fraal timidly spoke to me.

「Yes? May I help you?」
「U-umm, are these personages truly the esteemed Spirits? We are able to discern that they are not normal, however……」

Everyone from the Demon Continent were equally as puzzled, and Queen Fraal seemed to have felt the same.
I guess that would be the case, beings that suddenly appear on the lowest floor of a dungeon, where that normally is not be possible, would bring about such a presence. Additionally, those presences which the rulers and their subordinates kneeled to had teleported them out of the dungeon, so………

「Inhabitants of this continent. As had been stated previously, our subordinate noー our fellow Spirit appeared to have caused you trouble. We thank you for resolving it before it turned into something major. Takumi, please do the rest.」
「Ah! Undine!」

No sooner than saying so, Undine disappeared with the wandering Spirit.

「At the Sanctuary then, okay?」
「Wa-wait, Sylph!」

Sylph disappeared after Undine, and the remaining Great Spirits also left one after the next.
Ahh, these guys left everything to other people. Explaining things is too troublesome, so they pushed that onto me.

What happened after was just terrible.
Even though we were all tired from clearing the dungeon, not only Queen Fraal, but even King Ryvar and King Deega had a different look in their eyes as they pressed me for answers.

While I frantically explained, Maria and Marnie began preparing meals. Laeva, Akane, and Lulu-chan also helped to cook. Sophia, of course, was on the lookout for monsters in the surroundings.
Perhaps sleepy, Kaede used Ferryl as a pillow and slept peacefully.

「Takumi-saaaamaaaa!!」

Gloam who stayed behind, had informed Berkut-san and the Aligerous Tribe who were protecting the provisional camp. I heard Berkut call out to me loudly.

「Did you encounter monsters in the forest?」
「Gloam was here, and we also fought!」

The excited Berkut who came flying at low altitude just about hugged me as she tried to talk about their time in the provisional camp.

「No! Iruma-dono, you have not finished explaining.」
「Hmm, ……you’re right. The Spirits a while ago were definitely the Great Spirits ruling the attributes whom had manifested. Well, how do I say this, we met by chance, and they entrusted this matter to me.」

While I was explaining the request from the Great Spirits to the rulers, I learned that Spirits are recognized, or more precisely, revered in this continent.

The Genesis Faith had not spread to this continent. Nor had any other religion been established. Each race had their own beliefs, whether it be something natural, or that of a great hero of bygone days.

「To us who live in this harsh continent, Spirits are beings equal to gods.」
「That’s right, and they were the esteemed Great Spirits that had manifested, you know?」

Even King Ryvar excitedly continued after Queen Fraal.

「Umu, this is no different to us Devil Clan and the Oni Tribe.」

Is it that their faith in nature and animism are equal? But please don’t worry, Norn-sama. Even this continent, the Goddess of Creation is you as well.

「If this was a request from the Great Spirits, our six nations would have cooperated with no expense spared.」
「Umm, well, they were also opponents tied to us, so……」
「Master (Husband), meal preparations are done.」
「Ah, okay, we’ll be there soon. Now then, let’s go together Queen Fraal.」

Just as Queen Fraal had, for some reason, start to pester me for not talking about the Great Spirits, Marnie called with great timing.

In addition to our party members, the six rulers and their subordinates, Berkut and the Aligerous Tribe had a feast in recognition of everyone’s efforts.
The dinner party was near the heart of the monster nest, but thanks to the monsters being hunted to exhaustion, and the sudden drop in mana because of the dungeon’s destruction, this monster nest barely had any monsters.

We have to search for Berkut and the Aligerous Tribe’s old home, the Sky Island, but we can relax for a little bit, can’t we?
