"Where did you want to come to the river if you wondered where you were going? But, Valkyrie, it's cold and I'm not taking a bath."
"Cue."
"Hmm? What, over there?"
It was the river south of Balkania that Valkyrie put me on to come.
Even so, it doesn't mean a castle north of the river.
It was a riverbank at a point a short distance from it.
I'm surprised Valkyrie thinks I'll let you take a bath even though this shit is cold, but apparently not.
I came all the way to the river and I realized that.
"Kamuri... isn't that hot air? Could the water here be warm?"
Arriving by the river, what I saw was hot air rising from the water.
Sometimes we see magic rise like hot air, but apparently not like that.
There was no doubt that the hot air was rising from the water in the river from the kind of hot water that would counteract the cold.
"Oh, a hot spring? Was there a hot spring here?"
I finally understood what Valkyrie meant when she brought me here.
"I see you crossed the river from here during your battle with the Fontana army."
Once again I have noticed that I am checking the vicinity of the river.
That's because there was still something like a beast path slightly on the ground by the river.
However, there are indications that the beast path, which would have been thin, was pushed away to widen its width.
Perhaps this is after the Valkyrie herd went through when they did a bypass operation during the field.
Because it felt like the stretched beast path was in the process of erasing the trail one by one.
I guess it means time has passed since it was spread out.
The Valkyries launched an attack from here to cross the river and flank the army.
I guess that's when you noticed that the river water here is warm.
Maybe Valkyrie remembered when she heard me talking about Kyle and the bath this time.
He is as wise a child as ever.
With that Valkyrie's head gently, again I was looking at the water in the hot river.
"But Valkyrie. If we go into a natural hot spring like this, we'll cool it down and catch a cold."
"Queue......"
I can only thank Valkyrie for finding me a hot spring.
But if you go into river water just like this, you'll definitely get sick.
It's the mountains I want to go in, but I just didn't feel that way.
I had no choice but to stick my legs in hot water and have some foot water before going home.
"Vargas, we'll get free land in the next village."
"What's wrong, Admiral? Well, I think there's some unused land in the village, but there's still more land in Vulcania."
"No, I thought I'd pull it from the river to the next village of Linda, even in the hot springs. I'm going to make something like a hot spring inn where you can go into a hot spring and stay overnight."
"Is it the inn? I don't know, I don't know."
"Then tell the mayor of the next village from you."
The day after I went home with my foot bath, I came up with the idea of building a hot spring inn.
At that time, I only did a minor survey, but found that the hot water from the hot springs coming out of the river was quite hot.
Depending on the location, there is so much hot water that it may be called hot water.
I decided to use this hot water.
A certain neighboring village going north from the fountain pond.
I made a plan to pull hot water that far.
Here's how to do it.
Embed a cylindrical hardened brick that passes hot water through the ground and connects from the fountain pond to the neighbouring village.
If I could magically connect the pipes directly from the fountain in the ground and carry them, it would also be possible to pull them to the village while maintaining the temperature of the hot water.
Then, prepare a bath to pour hot springs into the neighboring village and set up a further inn.
This is because of the thought that if you go there even in the cold winter, you can enter a warm hot spring, so that you can stay in the inn as you go.
We need to get this over with during this time of year when it's snowing.
I decided to get to work quickly.
First, magic is poured into the ground of the fountain pond to grasp the conditions in the ground.
Make a pipe that stretches as far as possible to the ground so that only hot spring water flows in.
And then even dig the ground toward the neighbouring village and let the people who no longer farm while laying the hardened brick pipes build hot tubs.
But it wasn't a good idea to let people who didn't know the bath make the bath.
They were building something like an outdoor pool on the ground.
Well, I have no choice.
Let's decide it's an open-air bath.
If you had a lodging right next door, it wouldn't even be so hot and cold.
The hot water from the high heat that came through the ground also dropped to about the hot water when it was delivered to the neighbouring village.
I can't adjust the temperature, so it would be just fine.
Allow hot water to flow into the installed open-air bath.
Once the flow of hot water could be stopped, it was also possible to clean it with [washing].
In addition, a drain shall be installed.
Try to send the hot springs poured into the hot tub further north.
Ahead is the outer moat of our city of Vulcania.
Thus the water was also to be drawn to the outer moat during the castle fortification, which was an empty moat.
I'm going to increase the type of hot tub later.
It wouldn't just be an open-air bath, it would be all kinds of things.
"Brother Ars, did you need to purposefully pull hot spring water from the river?
"Huh? 'Cause Barca has a hot spring and there's nothing else, right?
"If you just want to take a bath, why don't you just draw some well water and turn it into hot water?
"... No, I... Hot springs are baskets. Because the ingredients are different. He said he'd get tired when he came in."
"I think you can get most tired if you sleep overnight using [meditation]."
But Kyle gave me a sober scratch when I was finishing the big work.
It was only at this time that I realized that I wanted to take a bath and that I was doing quite a few things.
