The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

Hot Springs Cleaning (Part I)

The next morning.

I was on a boat crossing the lake while it was still dark, with all the piers of Sikum who bought me guidance and help to get out to the spa cleaning I had received from my lord.

"Mr. Kai, you were able to operate the ship."

"Anyone who lives in one of these villages can do it. Right?

"When it comes to the most used mobility around here, it's a ship."

"It's the fastest and most convenient boat to go shopping out to a big town or to transport sick people to a neighboring village. You don't have to be a fisherman to teach adults how to maneuver a ship when you're a kid."

"I see."

Transportation varies depending on the land.

"Lyoma, look at that."

Mr. Sayne? I was wondering what it was, but I went after him at the end of my gaze.

"Oh, is that true, was it a" yad rat ”?

On the first day I came here, Mr. Kay showed me the village and taught me the warcraft of soot in the lake. He looks like a lackey or a beaver and he's adorable. That's about seven, no, eight of them coming together, pushing and carrying a raft-like nest made of trees and branches.

"When those guys do that and start carrying the nest, it's a sign that a bunch of Mad Salamanders won't be here much longer and the fishing season is over."

"Oh, really?"

"They seem to see the end of the“ wave ”with Mad Salamander coming back up the river. And by the end of the wave, we'll have that nest fixed around the river entrance that flows downstream from the lake to over winter."

"If you fix the nest while there are still waves, you'll be crushed by a large group of Mad Salamanders. Wait until the Mad Salamander, which traces back to good health, is reduced to the point where it won't break the nest, and they'll fix the nest."

In addition to Mr Peyron's and Mr Singh's supplements, there was a better understanding.

I guess I'm watching the movement of the living warcraft and judging the end and beginning of the fishing season.

A few more waves of Mad Salamander. I mean, the crusade is one more breath away.

And at the same time, life here is coming to an end.

... Live your days like you've never left them behind.

Then, in addition, crossing the lake in a chat for 30 minutes.

Looks like we've arrived at a big city harbor.

The facilities on the beach are not very different from those of the village of Sikum, but the number of piers on the beach and the size of the processing plant vary. Many more people are coming to shop from other villages. Even though it's still early in the morning, there are always plenty of ships out and in. People are plentiful and lively, and the city you see at the end of the beach also sees large buildings.

"Oi!"

At the pier, from earlier on, there is a man speaking to a boat on the lake and waving a single-hand-sized flag. As far as how it goes, they're organizing traffic. Mr. Kai, who operates the ship, also followed his instructions and docked at an empty pier.

"Hey, you can come down."

"Thank you"

"Ugh, cold cold"

"Don't just get cold on the early morning boat"

"Would you like some soup in the street?"

No one disagreed with Ms Payron's suggestion to warm up her cold body even more on her sailing trip early in the morning on a day like winter already.

And I guess a lot of people think the same thing. Shortly after entering the city from the beach, the boulevard is lined with many stalls selling warm soups, stewed dishes and more. Just looking at those few is over 60...... I'm going to be wondering where to eat when this happens, but everyone at the pier of Sikum walks away without getting lost.

"Guys, are you deciding where to eat?

"Hmm? Oh, right. Lyoma, you didn't know, did you? Actually, I have a stall that my brother does. So when I get here, I'm gonna go eat for now, I guess."

"I see."

Looks like he arrived while we were talking.

Because you guys are familiar with each other, or as soon as you finish your light greetings and orders, the topic goes to each other's recent developments. The flow will introduce me, and I'll have a warm stewed dish. Although it seems to be slightly altering the flavorings and ingredients for the stalls, it was just Kay's brother, a stewed dish that somehow reminded me of my aunt's taste.

Once you've warmed yourself up, head straight to the desired lord's hall.

Arrive in about 20 minutes using a shared carriage.

The lord's hall was built along the boulevard from the beach, literally at the end of the line ahead. The building is a mansion. It may be weird to say that a very ordinary mansion...... at least not a castle like the Duke's.

Well put, the quality may be rigid, but it's not decorative.

It's very big but I don't feel very dignified.

It seems to be made of brick and mud, but for some reason it had an estate-like atmosphere.

There is a fence circling the perimeter of such a building, and a guard of the pigs stands in front of the gate.

When I tell you what to do,

"I'm listening to you. I'll call a rep right away, so please wait."

and handled it politely, and soon a man appeared to be in charge of it.

"Thank you for waiting, you are Master Lyoma Takebayashi. And you're all from the" Pier of Sikum. "My name is Piggu. Best regards today"

"Nice to meet you"

From what I've seen, he's in his 50s to 60s...... or more?

I don't know for sure, but aren't you quite old enough?

It should be noted that he is also a pig, well fleshed, and looks like a gentle grandfather because of his dripping cheeks.

He said he had prepared a carriage owned by the Count as a foot to the mountain where the hot spring in question was located, so get in and leave quickly.

From there it took less than an hour to reach the mountain where the hot springs in question are...

"Whoa!

"Sain!"

"Don't worry! I just slipped!

"Be careful."

"It's a steep slope. If you fall, you fall all at once."

"Sorry... back in the day... there were easier roads to walk..."

"... Sin, everyone. Suggest a break"

"Right. Shall we?"

From the foot of the mountain to the hot spring in question, although it was only at the beginning that there were maintained stairs, the steep slope climb lasted about three hours from the way...... finally, where we arrived feeling like

"Is this the hot spring of the request?

"Something's not what I imagined."

Kay is right, it smells like hot springs and water sounds. In addition, I can see the hot air standing, but the building has only one dirty shed like a storeroom.

"Yeah, I am. Fuhi-no... because my predecessors who made this place did not like the extra ornaments. Say one small cabin like this is enough..."

"Let me just show you inside. In the meantime, Mr. Pigu, please rest."

"Yes, I did. The key is this. It's narrow inside, and I'll be there, so call me if you need anything."

After all, it seemed like a tough journey for him when he was old. He was next to the entrance to the building, a chunk of grass? No, if you look closely, you start sitting on an old bench with tangled grass.

This one uses the key you received and goes to the cabin.

……

It's really narrow inside, and it's enough for me and everyone at Sikum's pier - to get in critical with five adults and one child standing. I don't know the stature of the previous Lords, but based on the sumo size Lords, it really seems like a single person and minimal space.

What's inside, too, is a cage to put clothes off as a stripper and a chair for rest. All you have to do is have something like a handwritten map on the wall. I have very little stuff, and the dirt is about dust and spider's nest.

"Cleaning here doesn't seem to be a problem. Then the problem lies ahead."

Come in, front. When you open the door that leads to the back, a small staircase.

Three steps down it was a spacious open-air bath.

But...

"Ooh..."

"This is terrible..."

"You can't even flatter me."

Mr. Singh and Mr. Payron, who peered in from behind, are right.

First of all, I guess this bath builds a tub in this place and pulls hot water from the source.

It feels like I've seen it all the time, and the water from the sprinklers keeps flowing into the tub, and the water overflowing from the tub goes straight through the floor, through the grooves carved for the drainage, into a structure that is released outside.

However, it seems that the drainage grooves are now stuck due to the leaves and branches that have been blown in from the outside in large quantities. Thanks to this, the drainage is delayed and there is another bad smell from hot water that is different from the sulphur smell of the hot springs.

Plus that's not the only problem.

"Do calcium carbonate crystals also contain iron?

The sediment surprises the bathtub and also forms a thick layer across the floors overflowing. And then there's the brown chunks creeping up in the washroom mirrors and so on, and the walls have bills of the same color everywhere. These stains are hardened by the hot spring ingredients, so they cannot be removed so easily.

"In the meantime, will you start with what you can do?" Dimension Home ""

Ask the scavenger slimes to come out and drink and treat every leaf or branch of hot water accumulated in an open-air bath.

"Keep in mind the clogged drains."

Receive your willingness from the scavengers and go outside once.

Then Mr. Pigu, who was beside the entrance, called out anxiously.

"Oh, what's wrong?

"We're draining hot water in the bathroom, so in the meantime, get ready for the next one"

"Was I?... cleaning, can you?

"Right...... Probably the trouble is with the walls and floors solidified, right?

"You're right. I've tried cleaning too, but I couldn't just take that chunk no matter how many times I tried"

I knew it.

Ingredients contained in hot springs precipitated by changes in temperature and pressure, becoming solids and precipitated. The so-called hot spring sediment is supposed to create a unique landscape of hot springs or bring fun.

But on the other hand, it was also considered a problem in hot springs in Japan because it adhered to places like hot tubs and floors earlier and clogged the plumbing.

Mr. Pigu has a regrettable face, gestures to scrub and wash, but it should be hard just to rub.

"Now, impromptu, I'll make a liquid to get rid of it"

"Oh my God! Is there such a thing!?

"It's impromptu, so I hope it works"

First, soil magic produces a knob that serves as a drug insert.

Plus call the Sticky Slimes and Acid Slimes from the Dimension Home to get them to spit out the sticky liquid and acid.

"It was calcium carbonate that was solidifying in the open bath here. It's like a seashell, and it's vulnerable to acid. So I think you can dissolve it with acid from Acid Slime."

"Is it true!

"Probably."

The crystals will dissolve if you sprinkle acids on them instead of acidic detergents, but if they stay intact, the acids are too strong and can even damage the bath walls and floors under the crystals. So while diluting it with sticky adhesive, adjust it while seeing how it might increase viscosity.

... this much?

"I'm going to experiment."

We decided to take Acid and the stickies back to the bathroom and experiment on the edge of the tub where the water was drained as soon as possible due to the work of the scavengers.

Ask the Acids to line up and make a small circle, inside of it. Gently pour in the mixture.

"Ooh!

Cheers rising from behind.

Mr. Pigu and everyone at the pier of Sikum, who have been following how things are going, are noisy to see the liquid that has begun to bubble with momentum due to the reaction of acid and calcium carbonate crystals.

It seems to have an acid effect, but it still looks thick to use for cleaning.

And the viscosity is higher than the acid alone, but it's a slight change.

Let's change the ratio a little bit and try it.

After several experiments and adjustments in this way, “acid strengthening and viscosity reduction" is used for layers of thick crystals.

“Acid weakening and viscosity enhancement" used in places where fluids such as walls tend to drip or layers of thin crystals.

Additionally, although “average along with acid and viscosity”, three types of cleaning acidic mucus were made.
