"That's the sanctuary..."

After our journey, we finally arrived at the Holy Land, the final point of our pilgrimage.

"Damn, I finally arrived... I can't chase the monster anymore..."

As she swung back, Tracy laid her knees and hands on the ground and bowed her head deeply toward the sanctuary.

I see, the most sacred place to serve God, the Holy Land, is a special place.I was impressed.

Yeah, well done, well done.

"Oh, I've reviewed you."

"You really did a good job... it's a big deal"

Everyone is working for Tracy who is impressed.

"Nevertheless....."

When we return to the Holy Land, we are drawn to its mysterious form.

"Large Earth Pillar"

As Megri said, the sanctuary was a cylinder made of huge soil placed on the plain.

However, the size is a little bigger and the height is the same.

And the spiral slope was carved to trace the outer circumference of the column.

It's a strange shape.

"It doesn't look like it was made naturally.Someone must have deliberately made it into that shape. "

Everyone's right, it wasn't made naturally.

I just feel like I've seen that shape somewhere before...

Well then, let's go to the sanctuary.

"" "" Ohhh!!! "" "

Kyuhun!



When I reached the entrance of the outer roundabout to the sanctuary, there were a number of gatekeepers and armed knights.

What was strange was that they were all women.

"This is a sanctuary. No one can enter without permission.Leave those who are useless. "

"If you're lost, go straight ahead and you'll get to the village."

Looks like the Knights mistook us for a stray.

"No, we are participants in a pilgrimage ritual.""Permit to enter the Holy Land"

When Tracy told them that they were part of the pilgrimage, the knights exclaimed with surprise.

"Even the participants of the pilgrimage journey!? Are you already here!?"

"Isn't it too soon!? You're not ready yet!?"

"" "" "" Prepare? "" "" ""

Kyuhun?

What do you mean, "get ready"?

No, more than that.....

"Um, what do you mean it's too soon?"Other participants besides us should have already arrived. "

Yes, after all, we never met anybody other than the people we first met.

That's why other participants had already arrived at the Holy Land.

"No, nobody's here yet."You and the others are the first to arrive. "

"" "" "" "Eh!?" "" ""

We are the first arrivals!?

When did the ranking change!?

"I thought it was strange because I couldn't keep up with it all the time."

I knew you'd outrun me somewhere.

"I didn't think so."

However, Lilliera, Mina and Megri seemed to have somehow predicted, and they weren't very surprised.Everyone was aware of it!?

But when did you get past it?

Hmm, I didn't see it in any other town or village.....

Ah, maybe we found something very important and we all fell for it!?

Maybe they fought outside so they wouldn't damage the town.

When you think about it like that, it suits you.....

Looks like we're pretty lucky.

Thanks to the delay from the other participants, we didn't have to encounter any troubles, which is the very name of the injury!

"Hmm, there's obviously something wrong with it."

"That's the usual one..."

Huh? What is it?

"Um, so, I'd like to get permission to enter the Holy Land..."

"Ah, oh. Okay. If you are a participant in a pilgrimage, you can't accept it."

When Tracy asked, the knights cleared the way and accepted us.

Alright guys, let's go!

"Whoa!"

When Mr. Gyro responds cheerfully to Mr. Tracy's call, we rush to the outer circle.

Then we followed, but the moment we entered the circumferential route, I felt uncomfortable with the air in the Holy Land.

Hmm?

Is this... a barrier that defeats malicious people?

But it's quite ineffective.If I think I'm going to force you to enter this, I'll let you in.

Good luck ~

Don't get hurt

As we climbed the outer circle, we heard the knights cheering.

Thank you!

Yeah, they're good people.

Alright, let's take on the challenge!



"Hee, this is the sanctuary."

After climbing the outer circle, we came to the top of the cylindrical sanctuary.

There's a lot of big buildings.

Liliera was right, there were a lot of big buildings standing on the sanctuary...

"Huh? That building..."

What's the matter, Mr. Rakshi?

"Oh, no, anything."

I feel like I've seen this building somewhere.

And when I was thinking about it, the women who looked like shrine officials appeared from the nearby building and hurriedly headed to another building.

"Excuse me, I'm a participant in a pilgrimage journey, but where will I complete the pilgrimage?"

"Heh!?"

When Tracy called out to them, the summoned officials looked at us with a kyoton face at first, but they immediately looked like they were in a panic.

"Yes!? Participants of the pilgrimage!?"

"It's too early! I haven't started the trial yet!?"

"" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "

By the way, I guess you said you weren't ready for the trial yet.

"Ah, no, that's right. The final challenge in the Holy Land is not to solve the problems of the residents, but to do it in a special facility.”

Huh, was that so?

A special facility. Do you do some kind of ritual in a place like a temple?

"However, the facility hasn't started yet, so I can't take the test..."

Is that so?

"Actually, the trial facility takes time to get started."As usual, there was still time for the participants of the pilgrimage to arrive, so it was planned to start up in the meantime, but this year it took a particularly long time to start up..... "

I'm so embarrassed about that.

It's going to take some time to get started.

I feel like I broke my bones even though I was in a hurry.

"I'm sorry." There's nothing we can do about all of this... "

The priests bowed their heads to apologies.

"No, don't worry about it."What is in the Holy Land is what the gods have given us.It's up to God to move. "

"It would be helpful if you could say that."

To the extent that it is given by God, is it meaningful to move slowly?

I wonder what you're thinking about the intentions of the gods that people don't understand.

"Isn't it quite impossible to say that you arrived at the Holy Land so quickly?"

It will still take a while for the trial to start, so rest and rejuvenate.It's necessary to rest and travel. ”

And the gurus offered to rest in the Holy Land until the Trial Facility was activated.

“I apologize for that, but I'll get you a place to stay, so please do the sightseeing at the sanctuary until then.There are guards in places you shouldn't enter, so be careful not to enter them. ”

We meet face to face and discuss what to do. [M]

"Isn't it okay?" I can't do anything if the trials don't work anyway. "

“Yeah, and Tracy should get some rest.I've just experienced it, and my mind is more drained than my physical and magical powers..... "

Lilliera and the others suggested that Tracy should be put to rest.

Successfully, surely, if you want to take the test, you should take it in full condition.

This kind of care is unique to women after all.What the hell? We can't think of a girl.

When we agreed to the idea, Tracy accepted to take a break.

I see. I'll let you have your say.

"Then please enjoy the sanctuary until someone from the staff calls for you."



"Well then, let's take a look around the sanctuary in spite of your words."What about Mr. Tracy?Would you like to take a break somewhere? ”

"No, I'd like to see the sanctuary too."If I rest halfway, I'm going to fall asleep. "

Okay, let's go then.

We were surprised at the unexpected size of the sanctuary.

"I thought it was big from the outside, but when I actually went inside, it was still wide."

In fact, there were some small towns in the sanctuary.

But I thought the Holy Land was a more sacred place, and there was nothing but a temple, but there were surprisingly many buildings.

Certainly, it's more like a corner of town than a land where rituals are performed.

But it's not like a town with all the big buildings.

Yeah, there's more like a cathedral than a residential neighborhood.

It certainly doesn't feel like a residential area where people live.

"Hey, let's go inside."If you don't have a guard, you can go in, right? "

It's boring to look at it from the outside, and Gyro-kun has proposed to go inside.

That's right, it's a corner, so let me show you inside.

Everyone nods to your suggestion.

A sanctuary could be a treasure!

"Megri, don't make such remarks in the Holy Land!"

Yes! You will be punished by the gods!

Megri accidentally slipped her mouth, and Nolve and Tracy began to preach.

"Ugh, bypassing..."

When I entered the nearby building while talking like that, there was a reception counter waiting at the entrance, and I went through it and went into the back.

What's that?

"Oh, it's decorated with big paintings!"

"It's decorated with things like crafts."Is it a specialty around here? "

Everyone looks around the building with curiosity.

"What? What is this?"

And Meguri-san, who opened the door leading to the back room, bowed his neck.

Intrigued by the words, we looked in the same way, and there was a room spread out on the floor with various holes, large and small.

What are you doing here? There's a shallow hole in the floor?

"And the mirror and the strange iron on the wall... is it a wall hanger?"

Tracy pointed to a small round chair and a mirror, each with a curved metal cylinder and flower-like metal mass above and below it.

"Does having a mirror mean you have a dressing table?"You're too short for that, aren't you? "

"It's a sanctuary facility, and an ancient vanity?"Or is it some kind of place to prepare for a religious ceremony? "

Everyone anticipates the use of the surrounding equipment in that way, but I knew that such speculation was wrong.

"Oh, there's a lot of holes in the garden outside the window, too."

"It's true. Unlike inside, the outside hole is an unseemly shape."It's like a pond in an aristocratic mansion. ”

Looking at the pond-like hole outside the room that you found, I'm convinced that my prediction is correct.

But why is there such a facility in the Holy Land...?

“But it was just right. I'm going to give you a break."

Tracy sat in a small chair nearby and exhaled.

Ah, it's a little small, but it's nice to be able to sit in a chair.

Looks like Tracy was more tired than expected.

Hmm, this may be just right.

I looked inside the facility, relying on the memories of my previous life, and found the room I was looking for without taking the time to find it.

"There it is, there it is." After all, this kind of facility seems to have a similar structure considering the layout of the equipment. "

When I open the maintenance door of the equipment installed in the room, I check its interior with a magic light.

"After all, this place has gotten worse."This is most likely the cause of the breakdown of this type of magic item.All you have to do is... this part is deteriorating too.But I think this part is okay.Yeah, you're using good materials. "

I replaced the broken parts by machining the monster material in my hand, and I immediately operated the facility to check.

"Okay, the power is connected by rewiring."After that, if you open this valve by pressing this switch.... "

A few moments later, the vibrations resounded and gobbled!I heard a rumbling!!

"Wow, what is this!?"

When I returned to everyone, I heard Lillie-san's panicked voice.

When I returned to the room, it turned into a space surrounded by steam on one side.

"Woah!? There's water coming out of that hole!"

"This way too! Water from this hole... no, hot water is coming out!"

As Gyro-kun is surprised, plenty of hot water overflows from the side of the hole dug regularly and fills the hole.

"Yeah, it looks like everything's moving."

"Rex-san!? Rex did this!?"

When I tried to answer the question, other female priests came into the room apart from the other priests.

"What's the matter!?"

Then, the gurus who saw the interior shouted in amazement at the sight.

”What the hell is this!?”

Oh, by the way, did you move the sanctuary on your own?

Damn it, I should have checked to see if I could fix it.

I'm sorry, some of the facilities were broken, so I fixed them on my own.

"" "Fixed it!?" "

"Yes, the wiring and some equipment in the control room were old and deteriorated, so I replaced the parts with materials that I had."

"Hah...!?"

"Um, I'm sorry to fix it on my own.I want to use it to rest my people. "

"Do you want to rest? Do you want this water?"

Yes, I'm thinking of fixing up the bathing facilities here to relieve your fatigue.

"" "" "" Bathing facilities!? "" "" ""

Yes, this room was a bathing facility.

A lot of holes in the room are hot tubs with hot water.

Short chairs and mirrors fit in, and the place where the metal cylinder grew from the wall is the washbasin.

The pond outside the room is an open-air bath.

"Yes, it's about the bath."

"" "" "" "" Bath!? "" "" ""

"Bath is that bath?" The aristocrat's going in? "

"Yeah, that one. However, this is a public bath unlike an aristocratic bath."

"Public baths!?"

Yeah, it's a bath that we all take together.

Yes, this was a public bath that I used to use once in a while.

"Together!?"

Liliella and the others, who were told to be together, turned red and looked at themselves and our men alternately.

Ah, no, of course it's different for men and women.

"Y-yeah, that's right..."

Lilliera breathed out a sigh of relief with an openly happy face.

Yeah, well, even in my day, the baths were separate for men and women.

I really didn't seem to care much about gender differences a long time ago, but let's not say that.I'm going to make a mess.

"Unbelievable, is this all a bath!?"

The priests look at the hot tub, which is still filled with hot water, and their eyes are wide open.

"How much firewood do you need, such as running hot water in this hot tub?"

It seems that they are concerned about the consumption of firewood to use the bathing facilities.

No, the hot water here is a hot spring boiled with magic items and deep underground, so you don't need firewood.

"No need for firewood!?"

Amazing, a bath that doesn't need firewood

"Moreover, if you use magic items, wouldn't it be necessary for the wizard to boil hot water with magic all the time..."

The priests look around the hot tub with curiosity.

"Huh? Are you okay with the bubbles coming out of that bath?"Isn't it broken? "

And then one of the priests pointed at the hot tub that was bubbling and asked if it was broken.

"That's a bath with a bubble bath, right?"The bubbles have a relaxing and massaging effect. "

Hee, that's the effect on bubbles.

"Um, the hot water is gushing out from there.Isn't it broken by the stones? "

And another priest points to a small bathtub with water swirling with tremendous force.

"That's a hydrobus, isn't it?"The purpose of the bath is to massage the back by applying a strong current to the back. ”

"Massage in the bath..."

There are also other carbonated springs that are good for beauty, as well as loosening up the collar with the power of weak lightning.

"" "" "Learn more!!" "" "" "

"Wow!?"

Then all of a sudden, the women who were there came up to me with an incredible swordscreen.

"How do I put a good bath for beauty!?"

"There are other baths that are good for beauty!?"

Everyone is scared of getting past the seriousness of their eyes.

"Um, uh, you can just put it in normally.The hot water comes out when you operate the washbasin over there, so first wash your body clean over there and then put it in the hot tub without getting dirty.Also, the hot tub outside is a natural hot spring that is deep underground, so it has a beauty effect on the ingredients of the hot water itself.It seems that each device that delivers hot water is also equipped with magic items that have a cosmetic effect, such as stain removal and comb removal. "

"" "" "" Let's get in right now!! "" "" "

Everyone is going to take a bath with the unanimous momentum.

Well, I was going to fix it.

“Yeah, yeah, if the magic item's healed, we need to try it.”

That's right, you need to confirm everything!

"Nh, make sure it's fixed!"

"Hmm, that's why a lot of people have to use it to check the effect."You can't have effects that vary from person to person. "

I'll help you too!

Me too!

I'll help you too!

Well, isn't it okay if everyone doesn't take the bath that seriously?
