Chapter 82

When I returned home and went to bed, I didn’t wake up until after noon.

There seemed to be monsters around, but as usual, I blew them away with a golem and ate the lunch Sakura had made for me. Then, I went outside with Sakura.

“What are we going to do today, Master?”

“Ah, I’m thinking of building the hot spring I’ve been putting off.”

I want to get it done before the festival starts. I also want to soak in it while drinking the sake I buy at the festival.

“Talking about a hot spring… Are you going to use the one we discovered last time?”

“Yes. I’m trying to figure out how to use that spring with too much magic power.”

While talking, I had come to the dungeon under the house. Of course, our destination was the spring.

“I’m used to coming here now.”

“We’ve come here several times to create the pipeline to draw the spring water, haven’t we?”

The spot directly above the spring is the backyard of the house. The outlet of the pipeline has already been set up there, and it’s where we plan to build the hot spring.

“The only thing left is to figure out how to dilute this spring… Sakura, can you do a water vein search in sync?”

“Water veins? It’s difficult for me alone, but with Master’s magic power, I think it’s possible.”

“Alright, then I’ll rely on you to sync up.”

“Okay.”

Thus, in sync with Sakura, I explored the depths of the house’s underground. The dungeon is vast, but for Sakura, everything is within her perception range.

Of course, it reaches even the deepest underground. Therefore, in my mind, I could grasp the entire layout of the dungeon, which was spread out like an ant’s nest.

While exploring the dungeon, I felt as if I was being shown a dungeon map with a zoom function.

“Still, this dungeon is not only vast but also incredibly rich in resources.”

The more I explored, the more magic stones and substances containing magic power kept appearing. Even though I was looking for water, all I could see were such things.

“Hehe, it’s a dragon vein dungeon, so it’s natural for resources to keep appearing.”

“I remember Hestia was expressionlessly happy, calling this dungeon a treasure trove.”

“Hestia seems to like collecting such materials.”

While talking, I continued to explore deeper into the dungeon. Then—

“There, I found it.”

“Oh, congratulations, Master!”

We found a place where water flows, a bit far from the spring. It’s a dome-shaped space with a stream of water like a river.

“By the way, Master, your perception speed has improved. You can perceive such a wide area instantly…”

“Yeah, I guess I’ve gotten used to it.”

I’ve been living here for quite a while, and the number of syncs has increased. Maybe I’ve started to get the hang of it.

“Anyway, it’s pretty close, so I want to connect it… Can we still do block-by-block replacement here?”

“Probably, if you concentrate.”

“Alright, let’s break through.”

“Yes!”

It didn’t take long to break through the wall between the spring and the underground water vein block by block.

In a few minutes, a route was established between the underground river and the spring. By laying a homemade pipeline made of wood,

“The hot spring water supply system is complete.”

“Oh, now all we have to do is draw the water!”

Sakura looked delighted.

“Last time we discovered the spring, I wondered if you liked hot springs, Sakura?”

“Eh… Well, yes. I’m a bit embarrassed, but maybe I’m a bit like an old person?”

Sakura blushed slightly and nodded. It’s refreshing to learn about her hobbies and preferences, as I didn’t know much about them.

“Well, there’s no need to be embarrassed. I like them too.”

Soaking in a hot spring and relaxing is one of my favorite things.

“S-Sure…! I’m glad I share this with Master…”

“Yeah, it’s good that we both like the same things. —Before we make the warm hot spring, let’s do one more thing, Sakura. Adjust the device to dilute and draw the water.”

“Okay!”

Thus, we performed the final adjustments in the dungeon to build the hot spring. I’m sure that, with this, we can bring up a safe hot spring to the surface.
