Fun Territory Defense of the Easy-Going Lord ~The Nameless Village Is Made Into the Strongest Fortified City by Production Magic~
[Another Perspective] Development of Amazement
[Jalpha]
Van guided us to the far-flung building. The advance party commanded by Murcia was already preparing to camp there. I quickly pitched my tent around the building to compete, but I wonder why it moved so well after such an early march.
Van turns around and points to the building as he walks in front of me, feeling my gaze.
“This building is a resting place for the Knights, prepared in haste. The first floor is a large bathing area divided into men and women, and from the second floor up, it is a private room that can accommodate up to 200 people. For the time being, the owner of each house and the people accompanying him will be staying in the village of Theato, but what about Sir Jalpa?”
I snorted at Van who said that like it was nothing, with a fold between my eyebrows.
"It's brilliant to build such a big building, but the first floor of that huge building is a bathroom...?" How do you prepare such a large amount of water? At most, about one-tenth of that. "
Having said that, Van pointed deeper into his troubled face.
"That's right." It was very difficult to prepare hot water. You can't see it in the building, but there's a water wheel in the back that carries the water to the cistern. Some of the water is constantly boiled and poured into the baths. Therefore, once the hot water is full, it is constantly supplied, so the temperature is constant. If you don't mind if there's a regular soldier in there, you can try going inside. "
"There's a regular soldier in the bathhouse first?" Whether you're just taking a bath or you're starting with someone who holds the title...! "
Can I use a bathing area that contains people who don't even hold the rank of noblemen? Although he yelled, Van opened his mouth with a wave of bitter smile.
"No, we have a separate bathroom for you and the owner of each house." There are also three-story baths in the city that you can see for adventurers and pedestrians, and there is also a large bathing area in the village of Theato. If only you could think of this facility as one for baronesses or generals. "
"Stupid, you can't believe that..."
As I say it, I recall that Van created a giant Catapult-like object in front of Van's eyes with a scud before. I don't know what production sorcery is, but I'm sure Van has some special power.
Thinking so, I looked down at Van again.
"Okay, then I'll show you."
"... over here, please."
In my words, Van blinked unexpectedly and immediately changed course towards the building with a smile of comprehension.
The more I looked at the building, the more strange it was. It's true that I don't know what the ingredients are, but it seems like I've never even seen them made.
"Ah, Father...!"
And there was already Murcia in the building. It looked like they were talking to the warlords in a room like a hall lined with chairs and tables. And there was also Dee in the back.
"Oh! Jalpa-sama! I hope you don't change!"
Dee noticed me and bowed deeply to greet me.
"Hmm. Dee looks fine, too. I heard you slashed the dragon's head, but I don't think he's hurt much."
Dee patted her chest and nodded as she spoke.
"Hahaha! As you can see, it's intact!"
Seeing Dee smile in a good mood, I was worried that he might remember leaving the Marquis's Knights one way or the other.
However, many capable knights are drawn by other knights, and I myself have drawn many highly capable knights from neighboring territories, so I can't say that.
Thinking like that, Stradale came out from behind me.
Lady Dee, it's been a long time.
In awe, Stradale bows to Dee. Dee was older, and now he belonged to another Knight Regiment, so Stradale was probably concerned. Seeing such a straddle, Dee quickly raised the edge of his mouth.
"Oh! Commander of the Knights of Stradale!" It's been a long time! Haha! You look ruthless again! "
"I'm glad you're still enjoying yourself."
The two of them rejoice at such an exchange and at the reunion they have had for a long time. With that in hand, Van pointed deeply.
“We are installing toilets to the left and right of this hall. On the back is the entrance to the large bathing area for women on the left and men on the right. There is a cloakroom inside, and beyond that, it will be a large bathing area.”
While saying that, Van quickly walks backwards. After that, when I entered the dressing room, the general soldiers who had taken off their clothes looked at me and rectified their posture in a panic. Van said, "It's a little tour. Please make yourself at home."
Then, steam and hot air leaked from the door, and a large bathing area spread out in front of me. Stone floors, columns, and walls. The windows are lined with narrow windows near the ceiling, so they have lamps on the walls to brighten up the room.
It is definitely bigger than the Marquis' bathhouse. Rather, if you combine men and women, it would be a large bathing area that even the royal family does not have.
Alarmed, Van pointed at the entrance.
Well then, let's go to the next place.
"... um, um"
I didn't know what to say and just replied. What has happened since I left home? It will take months just to make this much.
It was a lonely village of about a hundred people, and only Espada and Dee, how could I...
Go upstairs and check the furnished private rooms such as beds, toilets, etc., and think about walking around in your head.
But, of course, there is no answer.
