「No way, no way! We don’t build such thing here!」
I hit the wall right away.
I sigh while looking dumbfoundedly at the door closed with a slam.
I have asked architects in the town, but every answer was severe.
You can guess the reason.
The first reason, the general idea of Onsen’s structure is nonexistent.
The technique to combine the bath and the pipes exist, but it has not been established yet in this kingdom.
It was a mistake thinking that something casual like soaking in a hot water can be easily done.
In the first place, the custom in this kingdom is to heat the water with Magic Stones.
They have no technique to dig deep into the ground, therefore, this kingdom doesn’t know about Onsens in the first place.
I draw the hot water right from the source and I pour it into a big bathtub. There is also no concept of draining the dirty water away.
When I explain it to the architects, they just throw in the towel.
I have a feeling that I won’t be able to make it.
The second reason is the problem of the money after all.
There were also cases where they didn’t want to talk to such youngster like myself paired with even younger Tina.
They probably judged that I have no money.
It can’t be helped.
「Uumu, I should put the cash right in front of me from the beginning after all……」
I put my hand on my chin while walking on the main street.
「Somehow, I’m sorry nanodesu……」
「Don’t apologize. Nothing can be so simple」
I pat Tina’s head who unusually went silent, then I slap my cheeks.
「Yosh, it’s already getting late, let’s try one last place today!」
「Wa, yes nanodesu……」
「Don’t feel so down. It’s alright, there’s always a ray of hope in situation like these!」
Surely, I must get a different answer in the last place. With such thoughts, I walked towards the last place.

「Fuumu. This deal seems a bit tough, huh」
「As expected, huh」
Well, the reality isn’t that simple.
I sigh with dropped shoulders.
「Please don’t be so discouraged! We will definitely find help somewhere else nodesu yo!」
「It feels somewhat Déjà vu, that statemanet」
I get slightly cheered up by Tina’s consoling.
However, if even this is no good, all the architects and builders of this town are out of a question.
「Do you perhaps know of an architect-san who could help me out?」
I ask in desperation.
The old architect woman crosses her arms with groan and answers.
「I have never seen or heard of such mechanism before, but. I have heard similar story about something similar to the Onsen you are talking about from my architect friend」
「…… Eh?」
I am lost at the reply which I did not think to hear.
「The story is from an architect who has visited the east. It was about soaking in hot water that gushed out from the ground in order to heal fatigue or something」
「Th, that is……!!」
Truly, an Onsen itself!!
「I see you, ray of hope!」
After my tension raised to the max, I asked the old architect woman to give me the address of her friend and ran out of the shop.
「No way, no way! We don’t build such thing here!」
