Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time episode 6 began with the Holy Empire Sidonia’s Church of Divine Light revealing they’ve heard of Takumi Iruma’s abilities. Arguing that light magic being a gift from their God, they demanded that the Kingdom of Barcula hand over the patent to Takumi’s inventions, and Takumi himself. However, Barcula’s king refused. Takumi heard of this from Papek, who assured him that there was no problem.

Papek also revealed that the god of the Church of Divine Light is Anat, then explaining that since Barcula upholds freedom of religion, many people follow the Church of Creation. Papek positioned the former religion as exploitative of the people, while the latter prioritizes helping them even when there’s nothing to be gained. As Takumi thought he shouldn’t get involved with them, Papek explained that Barcula’s king ordered a meeting with them and Marquis Godwin.

Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time episode 6 saw Takumi invite Maria and Sofia Sylphid to join him in going to the Royal Capital, with Maple also saying she’d come.

After chastising him for not bringing an offering, he asked her about Anat. Nolyn explained that she’s the only goddess, and that he’d learn who Anat is in due time. Seemingly jealous, she asked him why he wanted to know, prompting him to explain that Sidonia is getting closer to him. She said this wasn’t a result of her blessing coming undone, but rather that Sidonia being the ones who brought him to this world supersedes a blessing’s power.

She likewise reveals that it’s still “another few months” before the summoning would occur. Takumi then asked her why she did this, but she refused to answer by saying time was up. After bidding him goodbye and telling him to bring her sweets, she sent him back to reality.

Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time episode 6 then saw Takumi reveal his intent to build a carriage for himself so they don’t have to rent one when they travel. He then said he’d still need to rent a monster horse from the guild, which prompted Maria to reveal that unicorns, drake horses, and even griffons can be found in the Forest of Death outside of Bolton. They all then went to tame one, with Maple being particularly excited at the idea.

A Bush Wolf then ran right past them without noticing them, prompting Takumi to say the cloaks were well made if they could deceive a Bush Wolf. However, Sofia took hers off for wanting to train and fight, leading to the group finding good meat and treant wood. Maple, however, grew frustrated and went ahead on her own, finding an injured drake horse. As she befriended it, the two were attacked by a giant horde of monster ants, forcing maple to make a dome of webbing.

Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time episode 6 saw Maple begin to worry that Takumi and co abandoned her, resigning herself and the drake horse to their apparent fate.

Takumi then put Maple and the drake horse into his pocket dimension, which caused a tremendous strain on him. He passed out shortly thereafter, and slept for 12 hours from that point. However, he maintained the pocket dimension during that time since he couldn’t call for Maple, and she was following his instructions of waiting for his call. Sofia intervened by talking to Maple directly through Takumi’s mana, explaining the current situation.

Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time episode 6 saw Maple make another web dome, which would keep the horse calm after it left the pocket dimension.
