I wonder what happened. When I came to Yuji, the hotel staff told me that the hot spring had withered.
And that wasn't all.
So you mean you have to stay at another inn to enter the hot spring?
But in my words, the employee shakes his head to the side. [M]
"That's why... the hot springs of other hotels have also withered."
What about the other lodgings?
"That's right." A few days ago, the hot springs all over the town suddenly withered.... "
Wow, there's a lot of bad timing.
You came to Corner Hot Springs to take a bath, but you couldn't get in.
I'm sorry.
The employee bows his head in apologies even though he is not at fault.
Anyway, it's already a good time today, so I decided to stay at this inn.
It seems that other customers chose to stay because of the bad time to go home in the same way, and even though they came from there, they heard a sigh.
I apologize for that, but I'm excited about the meal.
That is why we came to the room where we were guided.
It's a good room that only costs five gold coins a night, but it looks like the room is fading because you can't get into the hot spring.
"I've done something bad to Lilliera-san."
I'm here for Lilliella, but this is a broken bone.
Lilliella must have been disappointed too.
Cucumbers!
Without knowing my gloomy feelings, Mofu Mofu is jumping and playing on the bed.
"Doesn't that have anything to do with hot springs?"
Cucumber!
When I was smiling bitterly and washing my face, I was knocked on the door of the room.
Here you go.
I'm sorry to bother you.
It was Liliella who came.
"This is going to be a big deal, isn't it?"
"I'm sorry, I can't believe this is happening."
When I apologize, Lillie laughs, "Don't worry about it."
"I don't have a choice." No one would have thought this would happen. "
Even though I thought it was like this, Lillie didn't show any angry gestures.
Ugh, he's a good man.
“What do we do now?”
"Cuuu"
Liliella asks what to do now as she participates in making Mokhumov a Washawasha.
"That's right. Let's gather some information on why this happened for now." You can wait a few days if you want to solve it, or go home if you have no idea. ”
That's right.
Nevertheless, I wanted to solve the problem if possible. [M]
Because the reason I came to this town was for Lilliera-san's bath.
We need to restore the hot springs in this town to cure Lilliera's mysterious stiffness!
◆
That's why we decided to split up and gather information from the people of the town.
Mokhumov decided to accompany Liliera to relieve her stress.
Somehow, Liliella was disappointed because she didn't go to the hot springs, because she was always shy.
It's hard, but I want you to do your best. The delicious rice is dancing later, so please bear with it.
"Excuse me, I'd like to ask you about the hot springs in this town..."
I chose to gather information from an old man in this town.
Because the elderly people who have lived in this town for a long time may know about past incidents that young people may not know about.
The hot springs have withered like this one, and there may be someone who knows the cause.
That's why I asked Grandma, who was the shopkeeper at a nearby store, about it...
This town has a lot of hot springs that work.
Somehow the talk began about the efficacy of hot springs.
A lot of efficacy?
That's right. It's a hot spring that works for injuries, a hot spring that works for diseases, and a hot spring that cleanses your skin.
Is there that much?
I'd like to ask you about the hot springs that have withered, but first, I have to be patient.
This story may be of some use to you, and if you force it to stop, it may make you in a bad mood.
"That's right. Therefore, by selling the efficacy of the hot spring that we manage, this hot spring city can live well. Those who want to heal their injuries are that inn, and those who want to be clean are that inn."
To the extent that it does, there will certainly be repeat guests in hotels that have their favorite hot springs, so there won't be any customer encounters.
But is it possible that a town's hot springs have different effects?
In other words, each of the hot springs in this town is a different source.
That would be a problem.
Even if I didn't get the friendly information, I thought I'd eventually find the source and investigate it, but if multiple springs withered at the same time, it's highly likely that the source was not the reason.
"So this hot spring has withered hot water in the past?"
"It's not like that." If that happens, this town will be crushed by now. "
That's why I didn't get any information from my grandmother that the hot spring had withered.
All I know is that the hot springs have never withered in the past.
Instead, I received a passionate proposal from my husband who came to Yuzu when I was young because of the beauty benefits of the hot spring, and all the unnecessary information about the investigation gathered... I was tired.
After that, after hearing from the people in the town, no one knew why the hot spring had withered.
In that case, I wonder if it'll be here after that.
I came to the Adventurer's Guild on the corner of the Hot Springs.
"Hmm, it's small."
Yes, the Adventurer's Guild in this town is about the size of a village grocery store. It was so small that I thought it would be.
I was going to go to an uninhabited secret bath originally, so it's better to have an adventurer's guild, but it's still small.
Well, this town is a town that comes for bathing, so adventurers won't feel like working much either.
Oh, Rex-san got here too.
Turning around, there was a figure of Lilliera and Mohumov.
Lilliella-san.
"Unfortunately, I didn't get any information from the people in town about this." What about you? "
This way, too.
Looks like Lilliella and the others ended up gesturing.
In that case, after that, there's only an Adventurer's Guild that can transmit information, but it's tiny.
Liliera was surprised at the size of the Adventurer's Guild in this town.
The Adventurer's Guild was bigger in the towns of Togai and Hekeji.
"By the way, what's the food in your hands?"
And Liliera called on me.
Yeah, I see you've noticed that.
In fact, I had a bag full of food in my hands, as Lilliella said.
"Um, no, I decided to buy the goods from the store to collect the information."
Yes, unlike other villages and towns, most of the old people in this town were shopkeepers.
Therefore, when I heard the story, it was difficult to say goodbye, and it became an air that I had to buy something.
Fortunately, since all the souvenirs sold were souvenirs and town specialties, I bought a lot of them thinking that I should make them a souvenir for Gyro-kun and the others.
"I wish I could put it in a magic bag."
"No, look, if you hold it like this, you won't have to buy bulky things, so..."
That's right, when I tried to buy something instead of the information fee, my grandmothers said that this was delicious and this was recommended.
That's why it was easier not to recommend a lot of things if you deliberately had luggage.
I was very tired mentally.
Yeah, that kind of thing.
But I have something to ask you, too.
By the way, Lilliella-san.
Hey?
What about those two packs?
Yes, Lilliella also had a lot of luggage in her hands.
"... yo, information bill"
Lillie answered as she turned away.
By the way, Mr. Lilliera's luggage seemed not to be food.
Shouldn't we have put it in a magic bag?
"If you're not good enough, you can recommend it from one to the next, so if you have a lot of luggage, you can just leave it as a recommendation..."
"So... what did you buy, by the way?"
"It was a shop for women who had trouble getting in, so I think it was about cosmetics..." Because I often hear it is a product that uses hot spring water that is effective for beauty. "
Sheng Jiao, it's certainly difficult for me to collect information from the store that handles such products, so it helps!
It's very helpful, Liliera!
"Ugh! This is the right kind of material." Yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh. "
Huh? Somehow Lillie's sweating a lot, but was there a problem?
"Cuuuu"
And for some reason, Mofumofu looked grumpy.
"Mofumov, what's wrong?"
"Oh, there are many parents and children with children." While my parents were shopping, the children who were spending their leisure time swarmed with them. ”
Kids like animals, don't they?
"Oh, and good work, Mofumofu"
"Gyuuu!!"
When I offered the souvenir food I had bought to take the mood of Mofumov, who was in a slanted mood, Mofumov quickly became in a good mood.
Cucumber!
All right, let's gather some information in the Adventurer's Guild.
◆
"Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild, Adventurer!" I have a lot of requests for recommendations! "
The moment I entered the Adventurer's Guild, the receptionist's sister welcomed us with a full smile.
... yeah, I'm a little surprised.
Well, since adventurers don't usually come, you're going to keep pushing your work here.
"Exactly."
Liliera received a harsh word and became the receptionist's sister.
Well, the guild buildings in this town are small indeed.
That's why the size of the guild is so small.....
"Please, please accept my request!" I'm in trouble because I don't have an adventurer to fulfill my request! "
And, the receptionist's sister points to a lot of requisition forms on the wall.
Which one? Wow, I don't just ask for low ranks.
Lilliella was right, all the low-ranking adventurers were asked to put it on the wall.
On the contrary, it was strange that intermediate adventurers received few requests.
"Why are there so many requests?" How many adventurers are there, no matter how small the guild is? Besides, if you have high rank requests, it's unusual for you to have so many low rank requests for new recruits. "
Certainly, the most adventurers are those with low ranks, so requests for low ranks will disappear immediately, except for those that are unpopular.
However, there were still good requests for low-ranking clients that were posted here.
Meena's hot springs are swarming with requests to investigate the matter, so no one will accept it.
"" "Hot spring survey request!?" ""
I knew the Adventurer's Guild was investigating this!
So you figured out why the hot springs withered?
"It seems that the request hasn't been made for a long time." But they can't do it anyway. "
And the receptionist's sister shrugged her shoulders.
“What do you need? If the adventurers from all over the town are involved, I think the case will be solved soon."
"There's only one person in this town who seems to be hairy to a newcomer."
Huh!? Is that so?
"This town is peaceful, for better or for worse, so there are no high-ranking requests coming." That's why the adventurer who grew up somewhat goes to another town where he has more work to earn. "
That's why the receptionist sighed that all the newcomers in this town were in front of everyone.
“That's why we don't have enough experience and strength to solve a case where the hot springs have withered.”
"That's right." But it was a request from the lord and the merchant's guild, so if we solve this, we'll all be done with selling our names. "
Ah, I see. Even in my previous life, a newcomer on the market rushed to challenge a superior demon on his own.
Besides, if it was a child of the powerful, it would be a catastrophe that you can't even look at anymore.
"But why aren't there so many main adventurers?" It feels like the mountains are nearby, so don't you have a job hunting monsters? "
Certainly, if there were woods and mountains, it would be odd if there were adventurers working on collecting and targeting monster materials.
And if that's where the hot springs are, I'd be more than happy to use it as a base.
That's why there's a poisonous fog in the mountains around here.
Poisonous fog?
"That's why I can't go into the mountains, so it's hard to make money because I can't collect or crusade." The forest is closer to other towns than this one. "
Sure. It's not surprising that there's some kind of toxic gas coming out of the hot springs.
Was that interfering with the adventurers' activities?
Besides, there is no job for the Jewish adventurer because there are no monsters coming from the mountains due to the effects of the poisonous fog.
It's a lucky guy in misfortune, but the receptionist's sister smiles bitterly.
"That's why everyone is travelling to investigate the hot springs, so I'm accumulating more and more work!" So take the job! I especially recommend this work of seeding pigs! It's so hard to accumulate hot water flowers in the canal! "
And the receptionist's sister desperately stepped out of the counter and asked for a request.
But it's a hot spring. It's just a hot spring town, so it's kind of an unusual job to say it's a dove sowing job.
It's fine.
"I did it! Thank you so much!! Yayahoo!" I'm so sorry that the merchant guild didn't hate me! "
When I answered that I was taking the job, the receptionist's sister raised her arms to the sky with a full smile and took a guts pose.
I can't believe I'm so happy.
”Even though I came to treat you, can I accept your request?”
Liliera, who was listening to us, came to see us.
"Well, it's a hassle." Also, it seems interesting to have a request that is unique to the land. "
"... if that's all right with you, Rex-san." S-rank adventurer snaps his head. "
"What are you talking about!" An adventurer's way is a must! There's an S and an F there...... S rank? "
And then, the receptionist's sister stops sharply.
Yes, this guy is an S-rank adventurer.
Liliera pointed to me and emphasized her S rank.
Is this the S-rank adventurer?
"By the way, I'm an A-rank adventurer." This is an Adventurer Card "
Liliera took out the Adventurer card with her rank written on it, so I took out the card in the same way.
"... S and A... I saw it for the first time... S and A"
Onee-san at the reception who saw the card trembled with a pale face.
"S-RUUUUUUUUUU!?"
