"Huh ..."

Shingo sighed in the after-school research building where Alice and Aikawa returned home for business. I ask Shingo sideways while feeding the ice cream to Kon.

"What happened?"

"I can't think of a gift to give to Emi's birthday."

"It's over! ] I look down at the desk while looking down at the desk with a feeling like that.

I couldn't answer Shingo who was seriously worried, but I decided to think about it. What time is your birthday in the first place? The amount of time you need to prepare depends on it.

"When is your birthday?"

"It's July 20"

Hmmm ... do you still have three weeks? There is plenty of time to order something to buy or make something. After that, Aikawa-san's hobbies and tastes would be the best thing that she would be pleased with.

"I don't know because I've never heard of that."

I don't know! I'm more interested in her. ? She complains while grabbing Shingo's shoulders and shaking.

"I'm sorry! But I was so embarrassed I couldn't listen. Oh, but I said I like hot springs."

Oh, a hot spring? I like hot springs. Alright! I've decided, I'll grab Shingo's shoulders again and declare.

"Let's dig a hot spring!"

"Fuh !?"

"What are you saying? I explain to Shingo who looks back at her eyes. For Aikawa, who loves hot springs, Shingo will surely improve their favor if Shingo digs and presents them.

In addition, if you dig your own hot spring, you won't get any money and you can immerse yourself as much as you want, without getting in the way of others! It's a perfect frontier. Shingo raises specific issues when he speaks.

"But what about the land? And there's a lot of money and work to do?"

Of course, that point is also properly considered. Just buy the land! Apparently Shingo has not yet confirmed his cash information, but the bounty that developed the remedy for the previous European Tragedy was transferred to their accounts today.

The amount is "500 million dollars". A castle can be built if I and Shingo's bounty are combined. The work can be managed with their own power suits, and they have the expertise needed to find hot springs. When I explain,

"Fuhi, I feel like I'm going."

Shingo is also worried. Okay, what should we do next? Shingo asks me with an uneasy look if I'm thinking of the future.

"But is it okay? Even Kouki wants to use his bounty for something else?"

"Shingo, what do you do without spending money in such a case. I will make a plan without worrying about that."

When I said that with a laugh, Shingo happily returned with "Thank you." Well don't worry, I'll use Alice when I'm done!

"Then, can I go to Hakone?"

"Fuhi, it's safe."

Move the place to my house and make a detailed plan for the future. The place was Hakone, where I purchased land in the middle of the mountain, primarily to keep out of the way of others, as well as the surrounding landscape. Next, we decided to relocate the whole building from abroad as a building attached to the hot spring ... but a problem occurred here.

"Let's make it a Baroque castle!"

"Fuh! That's such a bad taste, it's good Gothic style like Cologne Cathedral!"

My and Shingo values for the building were completely different. I decided to consult my mother as a last resort because I followed the parallel line without giving up either, but I was told with eyes like seeing garbage.

"Oh, that's a hot spring you make to give a girl a present, right? Why do you choose a building with such a tasteless vampire or ghost? It will be determined by a splendid Ottoman palace. ''

I don't think it's true, but eventually I and Shingo finally decided to ask Claire, the "rocket man", who took care of me during the uproar. I wrote and sent the opinions of the three to the address I was told before, and I got a reply 10 minutes later.

"It's all rejected, I think it's better to stop it if you show such a building because it will definitely be pulled. Make your log house more gentle and warm. '

With Claire's voice from Crane, he decided to order a log house from an importer. The rest is about land, but because legal procedures are required, I decided to own it and buy it.

From now on, I can't do anything unless I actually go to the place where the hot spring is dug ... I thought so and proposed to Shingo to work on holidays, but I got a different answer than expected Come.

"Well, the final exam is over and I'm going to go to Sabo.

We emailed each of her, "I'll be studying the ecology of insects for about three weeks," and we got ready and headed for Hakone three days later.

Flying from the foothills to the land purchased with my power suit. Of course, I also carried Shingo wearing the suit in the same way, and I just loaded the necessary equipment. However, you can only see the forest around the middle of the mountain. Well ... this is more convenient.

"Koki, it's about to be a landing site.

A communication is sent from Shingo who was looking at the map. When I ascended 200 meters above the ground, I dropped the crushing dynamite that Shingo had in her hand, saying, "Just drop it."

Dynamite, set to operate 5 meters above the ground, worked as expected, blowing off forests within 10 meters of the surrounding area and creating a landing point. When landing at the point just made, dynamite will be set up in the surrounding area soon after a break, and evacuate to the sky again.

"Fuh!

Each time Shingo presses the blast switch with a strange laugh, the forest blows out and a rapidly opened land is created. Naa Shingo ... Don't shatter the tree, because I plan to use that blown tree later.

"Is an excavator good here?"

"Yeah, support me so that I can't fall down. I'll operate from Koch."

After the land has been cleared, a large excavator will be installed to dig into the hot spring veins. For this reason, I asked a geologist who belonged to the new metal development department of the "Next Generation Science Laboratory" to predict the approximate location of the water vein.

The work is over when the anchor is deep enough in the ground. All you have to do is leave the hot springs blowing out tomorrow morning. Soaring again with Shingo, he flew to the town at the foot where he reserved the inn.

---- Miki Arakawa-Viewpoint ---

I came to the state government to arrange land for Koki and Saito. It seems that Koki thought it would be okay to own land, but there are actually other complicated procedures. I have to go through various procedures, such as permission to use hot spring water and permission to build buildings.

"I thought I knew everything, but I'm still a child."

As a mother, Koki, who usually solves everything himself, asks her for personal requirements. I forgot to take an appointment to the person in charge and suddenly came to the executive branch.

"I'm Miki Arakawa and I'd like to meet a person in charge of land related matters."

I understand that you can't meet even if you visit suddenly, so I'll give you the name of "Arakawa" and get a little forcible. As expected, she was immediately allowed to meet with the person in charge, and entered the room, but for some reason a person sweating and scared was noticed.

"Is it going to happen in a coup or a coup ?? Then go to the Cabinet Office or SDF headquarters instead of here!"

What are you misunderstanding? I'm coming to Koki to consult about land and related interests. I explain that,

"I understand! I'll allow everything, so please help me only my life!"

I handed my settlement seal to me. In this state, it would be the form that I threatened and forcibly allowed! Surely, I came out with the name of "Arakawa" and forcibly met, but it would be misunderstood not only me but also Koki and Saito.

I then spent two hours politely explaining and misunderstanding, leaving all the documents signed and leaving the reception room. After standing at the exit of the executive branch, he finally understands why the person in charge was so frightened.

"It was because of this."

Involuntarily speaking, what appeared to me was the appearance of the guards, which had greatly increased since the last incident. Despite the United Nations paint, it's easy to misunderstand that there are 200 fully armed soldiers, 15 tanks and armored vehicles, and combat helicopters flying above.

"It's a little more."

With that in mind, I emailed Koki "I'm fine with everything."

---- Koki Arakawa-Perspective ---

"Done!"

"Fuhhi, finally done."

It has been a little over two weeks since I started digging a hot spring. In the first place, the hot spring did not come out from the first excavation site, and then three excavations had to be excavated, which is why it took longer than expected. After the hot springs erupted, a fence made of wood was blown around, and pipes were passed through the ground and then connected to a pipe extending from another groundwater vein.

After that, I decided to assemble the log house that was imported out of the way, out of the way, after laying rocks to make a bathtub, but I don't want to recall the difficulty of that work, so I'll skip it. To add a word, "it was not a task for two people."

"The rest is just the bed and everything you need for your life. Is Koki carrying back and forth?"

"No, Claire cooperates with her colleagues to carry it all by helicopter. We'll go back to school and pick up Alice and Aikawa."

I didn't tell Shingo, but I heard from Claire the night before yesterday that "I'll do it for me, because if you give Kouki you the things you need for your life, it can be a magical place." I was told.

What is Makai! It ’s not like that. I thought I would buy a bed with a canopy ... Shingo said that I was complaining,

"Koki is ready."

So he flew away to the school.

"Huh ?? Hot spring?"

I prepared them to stay in advance and contacted them as if they were waiting in the research building, so I only had to tell them what was going on. Shingo looks at her shyly talking about her present to Aikawa.

"Yeah, remember that Emi-chan told me she liked hot springs before, I was making it with Koki. I was talking about insect research, but I was digging hot springs all the time I wonder if I could receive it as a birthday present. "

Although I am somewhat suspicious of Japanese because of the tension, Aikawa is happily hugging Shingo, as the meaning of "I'm going to go now because I dug a hot spring for you" may have been transmitted. Looking at Shingo, who looks equally happy, I feel that I worked hard. Alice thinks that she is thinking like that,

"What can I get at my time?"

I asked her with a smile, but since I didn't think anything honestly, I could only say "secret."

I put Alice on my suit, forcibly stuffed Aikawa into Shingo's suit, and flew back to the hot springs, and after my life supplies had already been carried into the log house. Read the letter on the table.

"I carried my elder sister and her colleagues a selection of items. Don't worry, the money is being dropped from Koki's cash. "

After reading, when I looked around, I saw tables and tables full of "femininity" ... Is it too fancy? I was worried about that,

"Megumin! This is cute"

"That's true, Shin's guys had a sense."

So I decided to break the letter and use it for our credit. When I talk to Shingo with my eyes, it nods my heart. ! If you don't do it. After the introduction of the bath, it would be better to have it actually ...

`` Yes, Alice comes in but don't look in. ''

Aikawa-san told me ashamed. She answered, "Of course not," but she has already planned with Shingo! I say it many times, but I need to do it! Alice makes a sneak while looking at my eyes when she is thinking such a vicious idea.

"That's right. If you look into me, rabbits are also horns, but if Koki looks into Megumi, I will have to crush it!"

e? Where do you crush? ? During being afraid of pain in the lower abdomen, Aikawa-san makes a similar statement.

"That's right. If Shin peeks at Alice instead of me, I have to crush him."

"Fuhi! ? Shingo makes a frightened voice. The two put the words and disappeared into the open-air bath as souvenirs, but we could not move. Was Alice such a scary child?

Desperately trying to remember, but not the answer, there is an idea ... Alice said, "If you look into me, rabbits are also horns." Shingo also remembered that Aikawa had said the same thing and looked at each other.

There are many fun things to do this summer vacation.
