Onsen

The fourth day of the inns construction.

We have plenty enough timber, so lets have the mock fight between Ichika and Meat.

Meat and Ichika were clothed in the [Clothes Golem Version 2], the maid clothes golem.

For weapons, they had a wooden dagger and wooden carving knife respectively. Just the shapes.

Uooh-!? Whatre with these clothes, even though Im not putting in any strength theres such an incredibly power heeeh, so this was the secret of Meat-senpais strength. The mobility efficiency certainly doesnt match how it looks, I can move however I want!

For Goshujin-samas sake, try out various movements.

My job is to spectate the mock battle though I say that, the monitor I opened up from the menu is properly recording it all.

If I substitute the repeated practice of those movements with having my clothes record their movements, it will fully complete the clothes golems movement assistance function.

Its easier than going through the motions one by one myself. If it were a robot Id have to go through and program things like the angle of the feet and arms myself after all.

Even if I cant do anything, itll be fine with these two strong people. This is a really good plan for the party rank. To begin with, I didnt want to be an adventurer. I just want to sleep in peace.

Nevertheless, Ive been feeling that I should do more things recently. I dont get it.

Alright, well! Lets rest this day away with gusto! So, I spread the bedding out on the tatami mats in my own room of the inn as the two were having their mock battle recorded outside.

Kehma! We hit an underground water source! Moreover, its warm!

And just when I tried to take a nap.

Well, this is also good. We found a hot spring

Well lets make it into an onsen right away then I guess?

By the way, whats an onsen?

Something like a warm pond. Its pleasant when you get in it. It helps your blood circulation and is great for your health.

Eeeeh, so, its fine for me to get in too right?

Its fine, but does a dungeon core that can move day and night without sleep and doesnt even need [Cleanup] even need to?

Im the owner, so I want to properly go and confirm how good it is!

Rokuko was chattering away in high spirits.

Its good that shes so motivated. Work hard so that I dont need to.

Ah. It might be smelly depending on the quality of the onsen.

Stinky!? Humans have changed, getting into smelly water deliberately I wonder if [Cleanup] removes the smell?

Yep, sorry. Honestly, it feels so good that youll want to sleep when you soak in an onsen~. Im not the only one that thinks that.

Though there are some people that think sulfur smells good, I just cant get accustomed to it like those formidable people. It smells like rotten eggs to me

Sulfur springs would probably have a negative effect on weapons. It might be tricky to lure adventurers to the inn?

Well, Ill see if its a true onsen after checking it out.

*

The area where the hot spring was struck was one hundred meters underground. It was found shallower than I thought.

I established the onsens water source as part of the dungeon, putting a little of the water into a bucket I made out of wood golems. (After all, onsens have to buckets. I made them with that kind of feeling.)

Looks transparent. It even has a pretty high temperature, and doesnt smell at all.

Even though I havent given it a taste, it seems like it could be drank as is.

Hmm? Hold up, didnt Ichika say she was good at poison tasting?

She didnt say that she could tell by drinking it, but she might be able to tell if there is any poison from doing so.

Ichika, suspend the mock battle for a moment and come here.

Hmm? Got it, be there soon.

I called Ichika, who was battling with Meat, from the window. She headed over immediately.

For the time being, I looked at the hot water inside the bucket.

I want to consult you about the hot water in this, is there poison in it or is it safe?

Hmm? Let me see.

Ichika took the bucket into her hands and started to suddenly began to swig down the water inside of it.

Wai, Ichika, what are you doing!?

Puhaaah. Ah, I dont think theres any poison in it if Im still going for another two hours!

Whatll you do if theres poison in it!?

Aah, dont worry dont worry, at worst Id just empty my belly. From the smell, look, and taste of it I can roughly understand Kufufu, were you worryin about me? Thanks~

Ichika was smiling as though she were feeling embarrassed.

H-hey. I wasnt worried even a little you know? It just would have been bad if my fifty silver was poisoned and died.

I see, I see~. I think that if I serve ya devotedly and have good relations with ya I might be emancipated before long~.

Unfortunately, its impossible for me to release you since you know about the dungeon now.

Even thats fine, Goshujin-sama feeds me delicious things after all. Well, Im gonna return to the mock fight~

Ichika waved her hand while laughing as she went outside.

Two hours later, Ichika was still lively and wasnt having any troubles. Looks like theres no problems with the water.

Well, I didnt think that she would suddenly drink the water. Seriously. It startled me.

*

I filled the onsen with the hot water. There was a ton of steam, it was still hot.

I like to take long baths in hot water lets try and enter it slowly later on.

Because I was able to make the onsen with this, the inn was finally completed.

Since it would be troublesome if Rokuko or I had to use [Collection] every time the hot water needed to be changed, lets just use a thirty centimeter large drill golem to drill out the onsens future piping. Im not worried about anything collapsing, though.

I still cant afford to spent DP on it, so Im still looking for a way of getting rubber to make a pump. Ill throw the water I got with [Collection] into the stone golem tank in a little while, it should be fine if I make sure to use the hot water that accumulated so that it doesnt cool down. If I need to I can fix it by shoving in a fireball.

The DP spent on the hotel, onsen digging included, was 5000 DP.

I also installed a [Water Source (1000 DP)] for the inns water services. Mainly digging the onsen was 4000 DP Huh? Wouldnt it have been cheaper to just set up the [Water Source] and heat it with something no, I was able to get a natural onsen, so lets treat it as a good thing.

I was able to finish it all much more cheaply than building a house with DP (200,000 DP~), so theres around 15,000 DP remaining no, lets do this slowly and in detail.

There is 16,390 DP remaining. The amount needed for the dungeons fourth and fifth underground floors, as well as the amount I gave to Rokuko to use freely from before are excluded from that.

Still, if I dont pay attention to our income and expenditures aaah dont wanna dont wanna! I want to hurry up and earn, sleep, and spend!

Hey, Kehma. This onsen thing, how do you use it?

Ah, first you take off your clothes, then enter after washing yourself off.

You take off your clothes? Having your underwear seen is embarrassing aah, so thats why theres a wall that keeps people from seeing in surrounding it.

Rokuko nodded in admiration.

No hold up, you have to take off your underwear too you know?

Huh?

You dont bring any clothes into a bath thats common sense.

Wait a second This, people dont enter alone right? Are humans that composed?

Right, I forgot about the difference in culture.

Lets ask Ichika about baths, despite it being a bit late. Please teach me, Ichika-sensei~

Hmm, there was probably a bath in the imperial capital. I think they entered it after changing into some simple clothes?

Washing your body is a serious matter no, did they use cleanup!?

Kuh, even though I also diligently made a space to wash your body!

I should have asked first even though I made each and every faucet and shower (no hose wall installation type) Ill just be asking for grief if I dwell on it

No nudity?

Aah, umm the hero used a towel in the nude when he was at the public bath, I guess? Well, that was more Hero-samas preference, not the inns.

I get it, if thats the case well use clothing Well sell or lend the bathing wear to recommend the bath.

Well, for now I just wanted to get into the onsen, so its fine.

Ah, Meat-senpai and I are slaves, so thered be no problem if we entered together in the nude? How bout it?

The womens bath and the mens baths are separated. Ah, Ichika. Please teach Rokuko and Meat on how to enter the bath, the womens bath.

Well, its not like I dont want to watch. Im anxious for feet and legs though.

In addition to the large public baths, I also made a [Footbath] that youre originally meant to wear clothes in. Im allowed to watch there. Fufufu.
