Chapter 266: CH 266

Activities in the Sanctuary for the first time in a while


「Takumi-oniichaaaan!」

The Cat Sith sisters Miri and Lala ran and jumped at me, clinging to me.

「Ah! Not fair!」

Catkin siblings Wappa and Sara, and Human sisters Colette and Shirona came running.

「Takumi-anichan, you seem busy these days.」

Wappa, the older brother of Sara, was the last to approach.

「My bad. I’m here for a day, so let’s play?」
「「「Yaaaaaay!」」」

I played hide and seek, tag, catch ball, and played house with the children, forgetting about the time.

Today, I’m spending the day in the Sanctuary. I was told by Undine that it wasn’t good to keep moving in the Demon Continent.
The Spirit Tree, the heart of the Sanctuary as well as its symbol, was purifying the Earth Vein and the land surrounding the Sanctuary. However, the Spirit Tree was still in its growing process, and apparently, it would like for me to give it my magic power every once in a while.

「You are the Custodian of the Sanctuary and the Protector of the Spirit Tree, aren’t you?」

I can’t help but do as the Great Spirits say when they say that.

After playing with the kids for a while, we had lunch together.

「It has been a while, Iruma-sama.」
「Princess Mimir, you look well.」

It had also become a luncheon with Yggurle Kingdom’s Princess Mimir.

「Thanks to you, Yggurle Kingdom of these days has been erupting with waves of prosperity unseen in recent years. Well, there are a certain number that do not deem this to be a good influence, though this may be inevitable as the Elves are conservative by nature.」

The current Yggurle Kingdom, as part of a union of three nation together with Valkyra Kingdom and Lomaria Kingdom that manages the city near the Sanctuary, had increased the amount of trade with the two countries, and the country’s economy was invigorated. However, because the Elves were innately socially withdrawn, it was no small number that disapproved of the deepening of relations with other countries.

「It’s all sorts of troubles, isn’t it? Come to think of it, what happened with that greasy un-elflike noble?」
「Ahh, Earl Hordia…… he is the same as ever. He is the type of man that ignores Father’s admonitions as it all goes from one ear and out the other.」

Earl Hordia…… a problematic elderly Elf that had tried various ways to take possession of Sophia. In order to trespass into the Sanctuary, he recently made futile efforts to employ his private army and mercenaries to attack the barrier. Having plenty of connections within Yggurle Kingdom by earning an abundant financial backing through shady work, even the King was having difficulty dealing with him.
As for Sophia, it feels like she would vent her anger when someone incurs her resentment, even me. It’s a troubling topic.

「Takumi-oniichan, it’s time for class so we go now, okay!」
「Yeah, do your best studying.」
「「「Kaay!」」」

The siblings and the children living in the Sanctuary spend 2 hours a day attending school. It’s only 2 hours because even the small children like Miri have jobs.

「We must also give our gratitude to you, Princess Mimir. You had dispatched teachers and school personnel.」
「Not at all, even Elven children were admitted as well. It requires no thanks.」

I built a school for the growing number of children in the Sanctuary, but the personnel was left to the Elves and the immigrants. Since we weren’t just artisans, but also adventurers and were currently chasing down the remnants of the old Sydnia, so they were entrusted with this.

「Ah yes, Father had requested if it would be possible to trade Sanctuary wine to our country, even if only a little?」
「I understand. I’ll ask the people in charge of the alcohol brewers if there is a surplus.」

I’m an adult age-wise, so I can drink if I want to, but I don’t know much about it. I can’t judge if something is easy or hard to drink. That’s why I’ve delegated anything and everything about alcohol in the Sanctuary to the experienced Dwarves and the Elves.

Aside from the alcohol, the Sanctuary vegetables and fruits were also a big hit.

「Especially the fruits sold to Yggurle Kingdom. Even if they cost a large sum, they sell out in the blink of an eye.」


「Certainly the fruits from the orchard that Melty-san manages are exquisite items.」

Whether it was the influence of the Spirit Tree or because of Dryas, the fruits collected from the orchard left to Elf Melty-san and her two daughters were the treasure of treasures in taste.

After that, I visited the area where the mermaids live, settled some paperwork, and Sophia had come for me.
The sun had sunk before I knew it.

「Takumi-sama, it’s time for dinner. Everyone is waiting at the base.」
「Gotcha. Be right there.」

We came back to the base from the Transfer Gate in the mansion basement. To me, days like this are a good refresher.

I’d like to spend my days leisurely, just making things.
