Now that the trouble was over, they decided to leave the rest to Ludwig.

"We are outsiders, Ludwig seems to be in good hands, so we'll leave it to him.

This was the first part of the plan.

And the real part of his intention was,

（"I'm curious to see how it all turns out, so keep following it until it's all settled.)

（

And so it came to pass.

Jin and the others left the place.

"What are you going to do now?

Tzik asked,

Tweak asked, "Well, let's see. Is there a good place to stay?

I asked him,

He answered, "Yes, there is an inn with a hot spring.

He answered, "Yes, there is an inn with a hot spring.

"What?

When I asked him about it carefully, he told me that there was a facility that used the hot spring that Jin had dug up with his cooperation in May of 3460.

Since then, they have continued to dig up the source, so there are three public bathhouses, one recreational facility, and two hot spring hotels in Kaltz Town using the hot spring water.

(The hot spring was still in use at that time. ......)

) Jin thought of Japan's old hot spring resorts such as Kusatsu Onsen and Arima Onsen, saying that the source must be an excellent one if it has been gushing for 400 years.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jin and his friends decided to stay at one of the two hot spring hotels, the long-established ryokan .

Jin chose this one because of its overall Japanese-style architecture, although there are some strange parts.

"Oh, I never thought that hot spring would be like this. ......"

Reinhardt looks deeply moved.

This is said to be a 200-year-old ryokan, and the design of the building was inspired by the on Kunlun Island.

"No wonder it's a beautiful Japanese-style building," he said.

The only difference is that there is a bed in the Japanese-style room.

Since some Japanese-style inns have wooden flooring and beds in their rooms, it is not so much that it is strange.

"These tatami mats are made of igusa.

In the past, this tatami was imported from Mitsuho, but since tatami became popular, it has been grown in Tosmo Lake and Wasu Lake, and the tatami here is domestically produced, that is, from the Shoro Empire.

The increase in the number of tatami lovers was a joy for Jin.

"It seems that the number of people infected with ringworm has also decreased," said Elsa.

Elsa said.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Ringworm is a fungus that causes athlete's foot and ringworm.

In a world where people are accustomed to wearing shoes all day long, once you get athlete's foot, it is difficult to get rid of it, and it is transmitted through foot mats stepped on by people with athlete's foot. Be careful in hot springs.

The situation has been considerably improved by the sterilization method developed by Elsa, but it is not a magic that can be used by everyone, so it seems that the disease has not been eradicated.

The igusa, which is used to make tatami mats, has antibacterial properties, and people take off their shoes in tatami rooms. In other words, it is good for foot hygiene.

Elsa said that this might be one of the reasons why tatami is so popular.

"Well, that's just it," she said.

This room is quite nice, Jin said.

This time they had taken a large room out of consideration for Saki. It was a large living room with eight bedrooms.

Therefore, Jin and Reinhardt have a private room to sleep with their wives.

Reiko and Zeke do not need to sleep there, but they pretend to use it as a camouflage.

One room will be empty, but that will have to do.

I'll just have to make do with the one room available.

"Oh, it's a nice bath."

"Yeah. I remember it's a simple spring.

Jin and Reinhardt were soaking in the hot spring.

"I think it was."

It is assumed that the common water vein with Lake Tosmo is heated by geothermal energy, so it must be a simple spring.

However, the spring contains trace amounts of elements from the ground, and <> showed that it contained trace amounts of alum.

These springs are said to be effective against skin diseases, but the concentration was not high enough to be effective.

"I miss these springs."

Reinhardt was especially happy to be able to bathe in the nostalgic spring water.

"Kuhu, it's nice hot water."

Yes.

"It's been a long time since I've been in a hot spring."

The women were also enjoying the hot springs.

And Bertsch was also enjoying the old-fashioned hot springs.

The dinner was also served in the style of the Shoro Kingdom, and there was a parade of nostalgic tastes for Reinhard, Bertsch, Saki, and Erza.

And since Jin is not a picky eater by nature, the dinner went off without a hitch.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Well, tomorrow I'm going to check on the Marquise Theoderic and see what's going on at ......."

"...... and then we'll go home?"

"Kuhuh, I know the Eschenbachs are gone. But I'm a little curious to know what's going on with the house.

At the moment, no one of Eschenbach blood is living in the city, all of them are on .

I had confirmed this with Maricka.

"Well then, let's go see Saki's birthplace and then check on the Marquis Theoderic's family.

"Yes, that's fine.

That's fine with me.

Of course I'll go with you.

I'm looking forward to it.

That's what happened.

The futon was not made of "Magi Silk," but it was quite comfortable, and they were able to sleep soundly without any problems, even though they were a little jet-lagged.

The next day, on the 22nd, they went to the hotel.

The next day, the 22nd, Jin and his friends left .

Their destination was Saki's birthplace.

"I thought we decided to leave it as it was."

Saki, too, had <, not , of her later years.

We arrived at a house nestled in a sparse forest.

"Ah, here we are. ......"

It was old, but it was still there.

"It's only natural, since your father had it carefully toughened and stabilized.

Reiko reveals the secret.

"Well ......, Saki. Shall we take this building to Horai Island or Hale?"

Jin asked a tearful and nostalgic Saki.

"What?"

"I've decided to put a dummy house here, made to look exactly like it."

I had moved Stearina's house exactly like this one before. It is possible to move this house too.

"Hmmm...so we can move it to Horai Island?"

"Okay. After this trip.

Jin and the others then headed for their next destination.
