Chapter 138
Daytime .
Sakura, the golems, and I were doing maintenance on the onsen and its surroundings .
Actually I had felt something when I got in the onsen before .
……… . . the area around and in the onsen was quite easy .
There was a bit I wanted to improve on it .
While I was doing so I wanted to clean it a bit .
However, thanks to the magic power within the onsen having a sterilizing power, the tub itself was quite clean except for a small amount of dirt .
If we clean it all out then it should feel even better .
「Fuu, for now it’s something like this . 」
「Good work Master . Here, have some tea . 」
「Oh, thank you . 」
It feels like it’s been getting warmer in the forest, it’s to the point where you work up a light sweat by doing some exercise .
That made the ice tea even more delicious, I thought as I drank it down .
「……Hm? Master did you place another pipe in the onsen?」
「Hm? I don’t remember doing so…why?」
「Well, it’s just that I see some movement in the water by that rock . 」
Sakura said while pointing to the rocks closest to the dressing room .
When I made the bath I made sure that the rocks weren’t placed dangerously, and I don’t remember fiddling with them since .
「OK then, Golem, go pick it up . 」
So the golem with a magic stone mallet dug up the rock and the earth there… . then…
「Oh?」
From the ground a clear stream of water welled up .
「A spring at this kind of place?」
「So it seems . 」
It was water with quite a high level of purity…but why did it appear here?
I understand that there is an underground stream, but it’s not like it would randomly tunnel its way straight through solid rock to come out here .
Or so I thought, when Sakura looked at the ground nodding .
「Master, it seems that the magic stone with water magic is generating water beneath the rocks . 」
「Oh, the blue thing from before?」
I think I buried about half of that blue magic stone we’d gotten from the Dungeon Master before . So it was doing something with the stones?
「Yes . Furthermore I believe that from that, water is then seeping through . 」
「Water from magic stones huh… . . can we drink it?」
The strangely produced water was not dirtied by dirt, but instead collected in rocks through which it channeled .
I didn’t really understand this phenomenon, but since the water was clear I felt like I could drink it .
「Let me investigate a bit . Umm… . . composition-wise it appears to be normal water . The magic within it seems to have maintained its purity and cleanliness…… . it appears close to this house’s (my) water supply from the dragon vein’s underground stream . 」
「Oh, so that’s where our house’s water service came from . 」
I had used it without much thought since it had worked normally .
「Be that as it may, since it is left from magic stones the magic concentration is a bit thin, however it does not have fungus and is drinkable . 」
「I see…we can drink it . 」
After Sakura finished her inspection, I lightly put my hand to the water and…
「Oh, it’s cold~」
It was unexpectedly chilly to the touch .
Maybe it’s because it came from underground, but it was quite cold .
I scooped a bit up with my hand and drank…
「……mm, this is quite good in and of itself . 」
It felt easier to drink than tap water…like bottled water .
I didn’t really have a huge frame of reference, but at the very least it wasn’t bad .
… . . in the end, since I had this source of water coming out I wanted to use it for something .
With these thoughts in mind I looked towards the nearby onsen .
「With this location……if I just do a bit of work I can give the onsen a water fountain . I could also utilize it to cool drinks I think . 」
「Ahh, that sounds great! There are times when you get in the bath and want to drink something cold! It’s quite convenient . 」
「That’s right . Then I’ll remodel a bit and make some equipment . 」
「Ok!」
It seems that around here I won’t just have an onsen, but a source of cold delicious water .
Looks like my onsen will have a natural water server attached to it .
