Greatest Alchemist? Chapter 633

The Great Spirits have no limits

As I was snowboarding with the kids, the sanctuary residents began trickling in and playing with the snowboard and skis.

Even with skiing, I only gave a brief demonstration, but it seems like they’ve gotten the hang of it.
It’s a relief how not everyone was like Wappa and the others though.

Not everyone in the Sanctuary power leveled, after all. Even so, they naturally have better physicality.

Perhaps it’s because they lived in harsh environments.

I went to see the skating rink beside the snow hill.

Sylph, Undine, Melanie, and Malorie should be skating there.

「…………eh!?」

I was surprised by the two Great Spirits skating over the rink.

It might have been because they were used to flying in the sky, but they glided elegantly on the ice rink, sometimes turning, spinning, and jumping…… at least a double rotation.

Melanie and Malorie were not skating like beginners either. They were gliding smoothly, and even skating backwards.

As I stood dumbfounded at the side of the rink, Malorie must have noticed as she did a full stop right next to me.

「Takumi-oniichan, what do you think? Malorie is good, right?」
「Ah, yeah, you’ve gotten really good at this.」
「Heheh.」

Malorie stood proud when I praised her.

It was then that her sister, Malorie, came.

「Takumi-oniichan, thank you very much. Ice skating is so fun.」
「Y, yeah, it was all worth it if you’re having fun. But be careful not to get hurt, okay?」
「「Yes!」」

You also had to be careful to not get injured skiing or snowboarding, but skating on hard ice is even more risky. Aside from hitting the ice, the blades of the ice skates were as sharp as knives, so caution was absolutely necessary.

「Don’t worry. I am here too, healing injuries would be a piece of cake.」
「Oh? Selene, you came here to skate too?」
「It’s not just me. Look, Nyx and Dryas are over there as well.」

When I looked in the direction Selene pointed towards, Nyx and Dryas waved their hands.

「The Great Spirits seem to like skating.」
「Mhmm, it’s fun gliding over the ice.」
「Gnome and Salamander don’t seem to be here though.」

The Great Spirits aside from Gnome and Salamander were having fun skating together.

「Gnome didn’t feel good jumping and spinning. Salamander, I have no clue.」
「Wait wait, most skaters don’t do spins or jumps. That’s already at a competitive level.」
「Oh, is that so? But that’s just based on your common sense. See, take a look at the rink.」

When I did as Selene said and looked around the rink, aside from Melanie and Malorie, there were plenty of elves who were enjoying skating.

「……a-amazing.」
「Right?」

They weren’t quite at the level of the Great Spirits, but the Elves showed smooth skating movements that made it difficult to believe that it was their first time.

「Huh? Almost everyone skating here are elves. Could it be because Great Spirits are skating?」
「That’s right. Elves show their reverence towards us especially, so they like to do the same thing we do.」

As Selene and I were talking, Sylph approached us at great speed.

Sha!

The sharp edge of her skates scraped the ice as she braked.

「Listen, listen, Takumi. Figure skating is performed to music, isn’t it? Please make a magic device that stores and plays music.」
「You sure know a lot about figure skating. Did I ever talk about it?」
「Isn’t it only natural? I am a Great Spirit. is what I would like to say. Actually, I had asked Goddess Norn to show me images of the world you came from.」
「Eh!? She can do that?」
「Of course, We are talking of the divine realm.」
「I-is that so?」

I was surprised that the Great Spirits were able to come and go between this world and the divine realm, but I didn’t know they could see images of various things from my previous life.

「This divine real, I can’t see it, right?」
「Oh, is there something you want to see?」
「Well~ I’ve been wanting to watch some anime I haven’t seen in a while.」
「Well, perhaps Goddess Norn would let you see it when you die?」
「Stop it, that’s so ominous.」
「More importantly, could you hurry and make a magic device that stores and plays music?」
「Fine. Even I want a music player. Just wait a bit.」

The Great Spirits’ skating should be magnificent. They’ve been able to see it, after all.

In order to create what Sylph requested, I returned to the mansion.
I instructed everyone to return the equipment to their original places once they were done using them.

A music player, huh. The thought never occurred to me.
