Tensei Shitara Slime Datta
Chapter 408: The Toranoana
By the way, if you travel east from the marshes where the lizardmen live, you will head out to the mountain district.
There is a nice underground cave there which is a natural labyrinth created by an active volcano. It was filled with endless and twisted parts. So much so that even the Lizardmen were unable to fully navigate it.
You can go all the way down one road and find yourself in the world of ice caves. Another route might take you to a hot-burned world, called a magma hole.
It was said that there was a demon world there that was hidden because it was too dangerous.
However, the labyrinth is not important now …
It is an active volcano.
If there is a volcano, then there must be a hot spring — that thought that started everything.
◇◇◇
“And that's the reason! I was thinking about going to a hot spring. What are you guys thinking? ”
My voice rang through the meeting room.
But they don't seem to understand me very well.
"You say that, but isn't a hot spring just hot water? Why don't you just go play on the river? ”
"Yes yes . They had the tears from the hot springs in the dwarf royal bath houses. I don't think they're so special. ”
As dwarves, Kaijin and Garm are not interested. Dord and Myrd nodded, so they might agree with them.
The hot spring baths were unusual, so I could understand their opinion. However, what I thought was very different from what the dwarves thought.
"Hot springs, huh? What the hell is that? ”
"Isn't that a gathering place for water after it's heated up from a volcano?"
Souei answered Benimaru's question. Surprisingly, Souei knew a lot. After all, since they were all not very enthusiastic, I had to make them listen as I lectured them on the magic of bathing.
Being conscientious about hygiene through bathing will help prevent illness. But more than anything, as a former Japanese, I wanted to introduce them to the culture of bathing. Of course, my main motive was my own pleasure.
"Composed! Yes, there are volcanoes without hot springs, but we will ignore them for now. As Souei said, our current goal is to find water heated by volcanoes. When water is heated underground, various solutes are dissolved into it. These substances should be good for you. So, as you can see, it is perfect to heal your tired body! ”
After I said this, Benimaru seemed interested.
"That sounds good. It might be interesting to try it. ”
“Quite impressive, Mr. Rimuru. You certainly know a lot. ”
It seems like they warmed up to my idea.
Next, I just have to persuade the old dwarves …
"Other than that, imagine this. When you play on the River, do you enter while wearing your clothes? If you just wipe yourself with a bucket, then you won't take off all your clothes. But in the bathroom, it's normal to take everything off! ”
"Well, that might be true, but …"
“But we are quite satisfied playing in the water. Didn't they? ”
"…"
Hmph. These old men were slow to take the bait.
“I don't care about that. Where is your imagination? For example…"
When I tried to explain it in detail, Kaiijin seemed to have noticed something.
"…you mean! You do not suggest … "
After Kaijin, Garm seems to notice it as well.
"Heheh . So, you did see. Heaven will wait. Do you disagree? "
They all gulped.
Their uncooperative attitude has gone. Now there was a burning passion in their eyes.
"You know, there's a beautiful thing called 'mixed bath' …"
"I'll help you. ”
"Don't say it again. We are friends!!"
"Yes . What he said . ”
"… !!"
They all promised unconditional support.
Benimaru looked somewhat disgusted, while Souei looked as if it was none of his business.
Like this, the plan to create a hot spring in Tempest began.
◇◇◇
What is wrong with a normal shower?
No, that's not wrong. Simply put, it would cost too much to make a normal bath house.
You need a lot of firewood to boil water. Since many buildings were being built, there was quite a lot of material thrown away. However, it will not last long. You can collect tree branches in the forest, but you also need to burn fire for food. So I thought there would be nothing left to take a shower.
So the soil was examined, and a water source with perfect temperature was found.
Then it's my turn. I made a pipe from Demonic Steel and then used the 'Shadow Movement' to connect the source to Tempest.
It's done in a shadow room, but it's not a problem, because I don't need to breathe. If anything, the real problem is covering the parts of the pipe that are outside the shadow room.
I ended up just pushing everything to the 'Great Sage, ' and it turned out to be a pretty easy matter.
The dwarves carved marble stones and created a beautiful bath house. The words 'mixed bath' seemed to work. And I can say that they put their backs into it. Even with just a glance, you can see that it is made to look luxurious and beautiful.
This place will eventually become a tourist attraction that will be famous all over the world, but it is a story for a different time.
Oh, what happened to the 'intervene' you said?
It was as if everything really worked like that in the world.
“Oh, it turns out very beautiful. The dwarf craftsmen are absolutely brilliant. But while it's fun you make one for us women, you should make one for men too. ”
Shuna stated with a smile. They were defeated without protest.
Benimaru comforts them and says they should be happy to be able to get into the bathhouse at all. Now they'll build a men's bath without sulking. It's all according to plan.
By the way, since I'm slime, I can enter a woman's bathroom as much as I want. But it has nothing to do with them.
