Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

221 Blue skies and hot smoke

"Then the ambassador. I must go to the royal castle and wish His Majesty Melvin all the best."

Looks like the Marquis of Gilbolt will be taking the Lady and the Lady after the ceremony.

There seems to be a lot of formalities about Elmer and the others being handed over.

"Okay. I might come back later to talk to you."

"I understand. Thank you again for helping Elmer and the others."

The Marquis of Gilbolt, in a token, set off for the Royal Castle, escorted by the Knights.

Well...... When I looked over at the garden to see what had happened with Claudia and Tefra signing the contract, changes had already been made. I can see the water gushing out from around the center of the pond.

Water magic draws hot water from the vicinity of the gushing hole to see how it goes. The temperature of the gushing water seems to be high. Maybe it's just right for me to pull water everywhere and use it.

"I need to smell hydrogen sulfide. Hmm."

I think that smell is good like a hot spring... but I guess people will have different tastes.

I'll see what it tastes like. Tasteless and odorless - seemed to taste slightly like sweetness. Hmm...... Sounds like it contains a little magic. It is certainly an atmosphere that seems to have a drug effect.

"You're already making a difference."

Everyone comes to see how it goes.

"Right. We have to do something before the pond overflows."

"Right. I'm gonna be flooded."

"It's just a good story to pull water there after we've serviced the perimeter. Now... pulling into the river or the ocean is going to have a lot of effects."

Water quality changes to temperature changes. It's something that hasn't been there before, so it could affect the ecosystem. I don't say much detail, but it's not going to affect the lives of the inhabitants, or where Tefra, the Spirit, wants it.

"Hmm...... I guess it was definitely slightly awkward. The amount of gushing depends on my power, but I'm sure it can be added or subtracted."

The amount of gushing depends on the tehra. I guess if the hot springs become famous and people get together, Tefra's power will also increase.

"There's no way we can keep an eye on him, maybe we should just go to the labyrinth side."

Claudia says.

"Oh, the use of sewers?

"You will. Although the hot spring water is different in nature from what it has been before, a new compartment may be created in the lower level of the labyrinth. That doesn't affect the outside world, and it's not a problem."

"I see. Interesting stuff."

I also heard a slightly disturbing word about a new compartment... but this place is already like a new compartment in the labyrinth. Claudia and Tefra seem to be good with that, so I decided to let them adopt the proposal.

Stretch the underground tunnel from the ritual venue towards the Termwilds side. Consolidate the perimeter so that no water leakage occurs and connect to the sewer.

Return from the sewer side drain towards the ritual site so that it cannot be used as an entrance to or exit from the city interior, fixing the size that people cannot pass through. Then we change the shape of the edge of the pond slightly, and if we make a ditch on the lower side and connect it to the basement, we'll finish the drainage. It's tentative, but this will be okay for the time being.

Because of this, let's get a little chipped around the source. The bottom of the pond is consolidated and petrified, and the water is remodeled so that it does not cloud.

"I think I'm going to take a bath like this."

say as Illumhilt lightly touches the water.

"As far as I'm concerned, I hope they enjoy it the most."

Hmmm...... If that's the case, will you entertain me with the fact that it's the most bath?

"So shall we? The gutter hole is hot, so we need to be a little careful."

With that said, everyone's face seemed happy.

"Well, let's get some bath stuff from the house."

"Okay. I'll get ready for a standoff or something."

While the sun is still high, a bath is also a B thing. It is not an open-air bath because it blocks sight from the surrounding area due to collision, but it feels good to see the blue sky.

They are all dressed in swimsuits and bathed in the same way as they did in the lake. The water is slightly heated, but not enough to put it in.

Soak up to your shoulders, he said. The warmth of the water crept into the inside of my body and I was surrounded by comfort.

"Huh."

And my voice leaks unexpectedly.

"How about some hot water?

Tefra asks, soaking himself in water.

"It just feels good."

"Hmm. That's more than anything."

Tefra nods contentedly when she answers. Serafina is floating on her back on the water to make her feel good. It's a comfortable place for spirits and fairies around the ritual venue.

Lavine doesn't like hot water so he makes shallow tubs, and he makes cold springs by drawing hot spring water and then cooling it down. He seemed to like it when he soaked it and didn't move.

"Mm. Good hot water"

"True..."

Ilmhilt answers Sheila's whining with a big breath. Seems relaxed and indulgent to solve the technique of humanization.

"Dear Theodore, How are your injuries?"

Ashley asks.

"Oh, yeah. Burns don't hurt any more."

When I answered that, they all gathered around wondering how my wounds were.

I don't know. Though wearing a swimsuit, this is what happens when you are surrounded by everyone with a complexion that has been exhilarated by cherry blossoms in a hot spring... a sight with a lot of excitement.

My skin is brilliant wet in water in the sunlight. Because they are all white and have fine skin (texture), when blood circulation improves, they are extra noticeable and glossy?

"For this minute, the healing shell could be fine by now."

I removed the healing shell to try it out and the burn was already healing and my new skin was tense.

"Sounds like you don't have to leave any marks for this. The cuts look better."

"Speaking of which, I've heard that hot springs can also help with burns."

Rosemary tilts her neck.

"Mm-hmm. People living near the mountains were talking, but they said it would also help with the burns. You think skin disease will heal and skin gloss will improve?"

It also helps with burns. Then let me take my time.

Cutting off Tefra's words, the women are touching each other's skin to show a buzz that their hands are feeling better, or that the finesse of their dishes is beautiful.

"Master Rosemary's skin is beautiful."

"Oh, I'm glad Grace told me. Even though I envy the whiteness of your skin and Ashley's."

"Claudia's skin is smooth, too."

It's like Mallane stroking Claudia's arm on Ashley's words. Sounds like a lot of fun.

"Theodore seems quite handy, too"

Everyone's gaze gathers here at Sheila's words like that.

"Mm-hmm. Really. It's slippery."

Serafina, drifting nearby, stroked my shoulder and said.

"Oh, no... Mine isn't like everyone else's, or what."

And though I answered, everyone laughs like a prank.

The flow seems to have shifted in the direction of everyone touching my skin. They stroked the flanks and back with everyone's hands.

... Tickle up. Skin tone is the one that makes up the majority of your vision, what is it? Although it's good that everyone seems to enjoy it. Let's get out of the water once before we can climb it. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. It was better water than I expected.

When I get up from the hot springs, I'm allowed to indulge in one of the facilities I built for the witches' stay. There are still parts of the interior and furniture that have not been arranged, because it is enough to take a break.

The hot springs are now being used by Penelope and other witches. I hear the witches' pleasant voices coming from the garden. Later, we'll call the facades of the workshops and chambers of commerce, as well as the inhabitants of Cecilia, Michaela and Labyrinth Villages.

There's also a spiritual temple in Tefra around the source. Even if the water is pulled from here all over the place, it may be better to keep the equipment you have at your disposal in a facility that will be used by your family and royalty after this. Let's start by pulling water inside this facility and building a big bath.

"You have moist skin"

"Right. Better than I expected. This."

Grace and Rosemary are grinning at each other.

"I guess I can call Yuji for this."

"I guess that's for sure first. I'm sure your father would love that."

That's what I say, Rosemary laughs. Hmm. If we build all kinds of facilities around the hot springs, we'll also need the personnel to maintain them... Don't feel like this is going to be a good job opening for orphanage faces and labyrinth village residents, just like theaters.

Various ideas swell...... shall we just set them apart from Yuji and Mass Baths? You'd want to be quiet for sanitary purposes, and a mass bath would have entertainment aspects.
