“Master, there is trouble. A Hot spring suddenly appeared on this island!”
“Ha!? Is there a possibility that a hot spring suddenly appears out of nowhere!?”
Renya is in the mood for fishing today so he is currently sitting on the edge of the ship’s deck to fish directly in the sea but suddenly, Anrietta comes to report a strange matter to him.
In the first place, when Renya ordered Anrietta to find a resort island, he had also included finding hot springs in the category and of course, Anrietta’s searching result did not find any hot springs in this island before.
“I presume that the hot spring source comes from a deeper depth than the default number I set into the underground scanner……”
“…… If the spring source that is similar to an underground water source suddenly raises close to the surface like this…… Doesn’t it mean that there is something weird happening on this island?”
“I have immediately re-investigate the surrounding area of the island the moment I detected the anomaly and there is no other anomaly detected. I also don’t detect any sign of danger from the activity of the planet’s crust”
“So what is the cause of this situation then?”
“The only reason I can think of is because of a type of magic beast that lives underground and passes by the area by chance and opens up a hole that covers the source of water. The tunnel dug by the magic beast then becomes a new underground water network. This hypothesis has the most logical reasoning”
“The cycle of nature that happened by chance, is it?”
“That’s right. We already got the source coordinate so how about we dig it up?”
“Ah. It is closeby anyway. We can do that while leisurely explore the area”
While saying that, Renya immediately put away his fishing gear and gathered the members inside Hlidskjalf.
The plan for today will be changed into hot spring exploration and excavation.
◇
“So we are going to dig up a new hot spring that just appeared by chance? I’m feeling excited already~”
“I have to remind you that the hot spring source might have a very high temperature so everyone needs to pay attention okay?”
The woman group replied “Yes!” together with high spirit.
Renya had said that any member that already had plans for today could abstain from the exploration but for some reason, everyone decided to join him in the end. But it can be said as Renya’s fault because everyone in the group has fallen in love with taking a hot bath now even when there are differences between individuals. They would lie if they say that they don’t feel excited hearing that a new hot spring has been found.
Especially for Therese as she has an interest in the process of hot spring digging itself.
“Then Renya, should we just dig around randomly then?”
“Are you going to make this island filled with holes, Floria? Anri is in the middle of scanning the entire island with higher precision equipment so let’s wait for her to pin down the center area”
After Anrietta found the spot to dig, Renya would mostly be the one who digs the hole with his divine power while Brenda uses her magic to prevent the gushing hot spring from harming the other members. Honestly, there is no point for the other member to be present but then again, everyone wants to immediately experience how the newly dug hot spring would feel like.
The digging point for the hot spring is located around the center of the island where the area around it consists mostly of hills.
The hills around aren’t that tall enough to be called a mountain and there are a lot of rocky areas around so one could walk around the place feeling like going on a picnic.
As the digging point has been narrowed down by Hlidskjalf’s sensor, Renya and his group manage to reach the place without getting lost.
“By the way, Brenda, you are unexpectedly tough. When one hears about a magician, most will have the impression of them being nerdy and doesn’t have that much stamina but I never heard her complaining about getting tired ever”
“Ara? I don’t know what Renya is imagining about a magician but even us must do fieldwork from time to time you know? It would be troublesome to be physically weak”
“No, I used to think that Brenda is a special case as you are being aggressive with traveling all around the place to fulfill Matilda-san’s request”
“Well that is indeed uncommon but do you think that a magician is someone who can live only by studying? We would sometimes accept requests for being an escort or a supporter and while on the job, danger could come at any time right? So if we already get exhausted from just having a long walk then it would be troublesome in many ways”
“…… what you said does sound logical”
Renya’s impression of magicians mostly influenced by television shows and games back in Japan.
The magician stereotype back on earth is someone who, in exchange for their high damage ranged attacks, they have a paper-thin defense and weak physical strength.
But that impression is wrong in this real fantasy world. Indeed when compared to warriors or swordsmen that mainly fight in the front, there is clearly a big gap in terms of physical strength but that’s all. If they can’t handle traveling for a few days on foot or traveling in the mountains then it would be hard for them to find work.
That’s why Brenda is also doing training to reach at least that minimum requirement.
“I see, so although you are not training your body hard, you still at least do the minimum when compared to other frontline occupations. So that is how Brenda’s long and slender legs appeared in the world. She has the genes and she also exerted some effort to polish it. That is a justified result when the two combined”
“…… Just what kind of worthless things you are whispering about”
“That’s rude. I have been thinking about this a lot lately”
“Okay okay, all I wish is for you to not get too intoxicated with sexual things”
“Brenda, don’t you treat me with a lot of apathy lately?”
“It is because you keep coming to me acting like a spoiled child a lot nowadays”
“Is that a bad thing?”
“…… It’s not a bad thing but I wish that you could consider the time and place more”
“Brenda is indeed a supreme-class kuudere”
“Please stop calling me that!”
Even when Brenda is having a soppy lovers dialogue with Renya while walking around the hilly areas, she is still breathing normally without any sign of getting tired. Renya realizes that this is the result of her effort.
While having casual chat like that, they continue climbing the hill toward their destination. And when they reached the top of the hill, they found a pretty open space there.
There are many stones of various sizes lying around but they could easily clear it if they want to. They could sit on bigger rocks and they could also see the sea in a 360 degrees angle without getting blocked.
Renya then stacks the stones to create a kind of partition.
He is planning to make a natural rock hot spring after seeing the digging point and it would feel less authentic without partition surrounding the bath.
“Well, then. I will start digging now”
He makes his divine power to take the shape of a giant drill and rotate it at high speed then slowly bring it down to dig up the hot spring source.
Shortly after, hot spring water starts to gush out from the hole while making a gurgling sound and Renya stops digging further.
He then quickly surrounds the hole with rocks that have smooth surfaces to form a pool. After reaching the width and depth that he is satisfied with, all the group needs to do is only to wait for the pool to fill up.
By the combination of mother nature and divine power, a new hot spring has been birthed in the world.
Well, it does not seem that grandiose though.
The hot spring temperature is not that high. It could be used immediately just as is.
“Anri, get the sample”
[Roger that. A sample has been collected. I have done a simple analysis to determine the effects of the hot spring. Would you like to hear it?]
“Aa. What kind of hot spring is this?”
[From my analysis, I conclude that the hot spring has effects including healing external wounds and easing muscle fatigue on the human body]
“The hot spring we had before had fatigue relieving effects too but this hot spring also has wound healing properties eh?”
When he heard that the hot spring has healing effects, he does not feel like soaking in it anymore. In that aspect, Renya still could not let go of his common sense as a human off in this kind of time yet.
But then again, a part of him still comprehends the existence of this hot spring that could heal the wounds incurred in battle. It seems that he had heard about the same thing back on earth so he could accept the fact more naturally.
In any case, they have achieved their goal of coming here. The group could now take a dip in the hot spring while gazing on the sea at the distance.
‘’O-i, if you girls have finished your preparation, let’s…… take a dip”
When Renya turns back, he suddenly becomes speechless.
Because in front of his eyes now is a simple undressing room that is created from wooden poles and cloth.
He does not have any intention of peeking but he still needs to confirm the girls’ condition so he calls them over the partitioning cloth.
That partitioning cloth is not something he could carelessly touch. Even when the one undressing inside is his harem, there are still some lines that he should not cross no matter what.
And one of those lines is when the girls are changing their clothes.
“Floria? I’m asking just in case but everyone is now undressing inside right?”
“That’s right~. If you peek then we will bury you from the neck down until we finish bathing you know~”
“Didn’t you just casually say something scary there, oi!? I said it before that I won’t involve myself when you girls are changing”
In Renya’s point of view, forget about underwear, they have even looked at each other’s birthday suit. But it seems that for the girls, being seen when changing their clothes seems to have its own category of embarrassment.
Indeed, Renya also personally thought of it as an act that is lacking delicacy so he does not have any reason to complain about it. But the number one reason why he easily agrees is something else.
“Well, if Elvira says that she is happy to get changed in front of me then I would gladly watch though”
“Re-Renya-sama!? There’s no way I would feel happy with that right!?”
“Raise your hand if you think she is lying~”
“Lie”
“Li~e”
“…… Lie”
“E? E? Why does nobody believe me!?”
Renya couldn’t see whether everyone else was really raising their hand but the image of Elvira greatly panicking on the other side of the clothes is floating in the back of his eyes.
“Now that you mention it~, I honestly think that Elvira’s masochism level has been rising by a lot lately”
“I have to agree with that. I heard from Floria before that Elvira’s ‘training’ has progressed and I can’t help but agree with her”
“When it is Elvira-oneesan’s turn to accompany Renya-oniisan in the night, Renya-oniisan would go on a full offensive and becomes incredibly dominant desu. Compared to the past, I think the exchange between the two has definitely leveled up desu”
“…… Elvira-oneechan…… when Renya-oniichan…… do anything to her…… she never hates it”
When Rebecca, who is the latest to join the group shows her affirmation to it, even Elvira started to feel greatly flustered by that assessment. Unbeknownst to herself, her disposition has reached a place where she could not return back anymore.
“In my opinion, I think that Elvira is the closest one to master the peak of abnormality. The runner up is probably myself though”
“Saying that you are the runner up brazenly like that is also something amazing in my opinion…… But I have to agree that only Elvira would accept all kind of weird idea that Renya would think of from time to time”
“D-don’t you think it is just like giving me the finishing blow there?”
But as Elvira herself is aware of the symptoms that are happening with her, she can’t strongly deny their opinion so all she could do is to hurry getting changed into her bath wear and escape into the hot spring.
Elvira who had soaked herself into the hot spring is making her body look smaller. Starting from the feeling of disgrace, there is no doubt that her heart is under the conflict of various emotions When Renya looks at her shrinking herself like that.
Renya quickly gets changed and then he sits down beside Elvira whose eyes are a bit teary and then hugs her shoulder.
“Well…… just blame me for that. Even if you have the qualities for that, I am the one who awakens than qualities after all”
“That doesn’t comfort me at all. Renya-samaa~……”
“N~ I personally don’t think I did anything bad though. Other members just change their opinion about you from being a soft masochist character to a hardcore masochist character. Nothing, in particular, would change because of it right?”
“But I feel that the change diverts me into a bad direction……”
“In my opinion, Elvira is still on the innocent side. In the world where I came from, there are a lot more people with even more dangerous ideas you know? And that is not even limited by gender”
“I don’t know whether I should be happy or not when getting compared as the more innocent one……”
“Then how about listening to everyone’s opinion? O-i. Why are you guys taking so long? Come quickly~”
The rest of the members reply to Renya’s question with a yes and enter the hot spring one after another.
This place is outside the Hlidskjalf so just for caution, the girls are also wearing their bath wear.
Floria: “Even if Elvira’s masochism progresses further, it won’t do anything to us after all, right?”
Brenda: “Un, it is just a fact and nothing else”
Floria: “Rather, it would be troublesome for us if there is no one who could accept Renya’s peculiar conception, right?”
Therese: “I-it’s would be impossible for me”
Rebecca: “…… I know…… that oneechan is like that…… and I never have…… any trouble”
“See? No problem, right?”
Renya smiles at Elvira like saying that what he says before is correct.
Just in case, Renya also told Elvira that back on Earth, it is hard for such people with this kind of special disposition to find a correct partner to fulfill their special needs and that special disposition would turn worse. After hearing that, at first, Elvira feels worried but after thinking about it a bit more, she realizes that it is not a problem for her anymore so she could finally calm down and come to an understanding.
That’s right, when she is together with the other party member, she could just be the way she is.
Feeling embarrassed because she is different from the others is a common feeling and she indeed feels worried for a bit and made her totally forgot that the people around her now is not someone who would easily drive her out just because of something like that.
“Mmm~. Enjoying a hot spring while enjoying a great view like this is such a luxury, right?”
“Ah, I forgot that I also bought juice with me. Anyone want a drink?”
“Please give me one”
“A, give me one too desu”
“…… Me three”
“Yes yes, please wait a bit”
In the newly dug hot spring where the steam continuously rises up, everyone is relaxing in their own way.
Looking at the scene made Elvira think of something for a bit.
“Renya-sama, it is really a good bath”
“Aa, I feel very good”
And then she gives her most beautiful smile to the God who had given her this happiness.
“Master, there is trouble. A Hot spring suddenly appeared on this island!”
“Ha!? Is there a possibility that a hot spring suddenly appears out of nowhere!?”
Renya is in the mood for fishing today so he is currently sitting on the edge of the ship’s deck to fish directly in the sea but suddenly, Anrietta comes to report a strange matter to him.

“The cycle of nature that happened by chance, is it?”
“That’s right. We already got the source coordinate so how about we dig it up?”
“Ah. It is closeby anyway. We can do that while leisurely explore the area”
While saying that, Renya immediately put away his fishing gear and gathered the members inside Hlidskjalf.
The plan for today will be changed into hot spring exploration and excavation.
◇
“So we are going to dig up a new hot spring that just appeared by chance? I’m feeling excited already~”
“I have to remind you that the hot spring source might have a very high temperature so everyone needs to pay attention okay?”
The woman group replied “Yes!” together with high spirit.
Renya had said that any member that already had plans for today could abstain from the exploration but for some reason, everyone decided to join him in the end. But it can be said as Renya’s fault because everyone in the group has fallen in love with taking a hot bath now even when there are differences between individuals. They would lie if they say that they don’t feel excited hearing that a new hot spring has been found.
Especially for Therese as she has an interest in the process of hot spring digging itself.
“Then Renya, should we just dig around randomly then?”
“Are you going to make this island filled with holes, Floria? Anri is in the middle of scanning the entire island with higher precision equipment so let’s wait for her to pin down the center area”
After Anrietta found the spot to dig, Renya would mostly be the one who digs the hole with his divine power while Brenda uses her magic to prevent the gushing hot spring from harming the other members.

The digging point for the hot spring is located around the center of the island where the area around it consists mostly of hills.
The hills around aren’t that tall enough to be called a mountain and there are a lot of rocky areas around so one could walk around the place feeling like going on a picnic.
As the digging point has been narrowed down by Hlidskjalf’s sensor, Renya and his group manage to reach the place without getting lost.
“By the way, Brenda, you are unexpectedly tough. When one hears about a magician, most will have the impression of them being nerdy and doesn’t have that much stamina but I never heard her complaining about getting tired ever”
“Ara? I don’t know what Renya is imagining about a magician but even us must do fieldwork from time to time you know? It would be troublesome to be physically weak”
“No, I used to think that Brenda is a special case as you are being aggressive with traveling all around the place to fulfill Matilda-san’s request”
“Well that is indeed uncommon but do you think that a magician is someone who can live only by studying? We would sometimes accept requests for being an escort or a supporter and while on the job, danger could come at any time right? So if we already get exhausted from just having a long walk then it would be troublesome in many ways”
“…… what you said does sound logical”
Renya’s impression of magicians mostly influenced by television shows and games back in Japan.
The magician stereotype back on earth is someone who, in exchange for their high damage ranged attacks, they have a paper-thin defense and weak physical strength.
But that impression is wrong in this real fantasy world. Indeed when compared to warriors or swordsmen that mainly fight in the front, there is clearly a big gap in terms of physical strength but that’s all. If they can’t handle traveling for a few days on foot or traveling in the mountains then it would be hard for them to find work.
That’s why Brenda is also doing training to reach at least that minimum requirement.
“I see, so although you are not training your body hard, you still at least do the minimum when compared to other frontline occupations. So that is how Brenda’s long and slender legs appeared in the world. She has the genes and she also exerted some effort to polish it. That is a justified result when the two combined”
“…… Just what kind of worthless things you are whispering about”
“That’s rude. I have been thinking about this a lot lately”
“Okay okay, all I wish is for you to not get too intoxicated with sexual things”
“Brenda, don’t you treat me with a lot of apathy lately?”
“It is because you keep coming to me acting like a spoiled child a lot nowadays”
“Is that a bad thing?”
“…… It’s not a bad thing but I wish that you could consider the time and place more”
“Brenda is indeed a supreme-class kuudere”
“Please stop calling me that!”
Even when Brenda is having a soppy lovers dialogue with Renya while walking around the hilly areas, she is still breathing normally without any sign of getting tired. Renya realizes that this is the result of her effort.
While having casual chat like that, they continue climbing the hill toward their destination. And when they reached the top of the hill, they found a pretty open space there.
There are many stones of various sizes lying around but they could easily clear it if they want to. They could sit on bigger rocks and they could also see the sea in a 360 degrees angle without getting blocked.
Renya then stacks the stones to create a kind of partition.
He is planning to make a natural rock hot spring after seeing the digging point and it would feel less authentic without partition surrounding the bath.
“Well, then. I will start digging now”
He makes his divine power to take the shape of a giant drill and rotate it at high speed then slowly bring it down to dig up the hot spring source.
Shortly after, hot spring water starts to gush out from the hole while making a gurgling sound and Renya stops digging further.
He then quickly surrounds the hole with rocks that have smooth surfaces to form a pool. After reaching the width and depth that he is satisfied with, all the group needs to do is only to wait for the pool to fill up.
By the combination of mother nature and divine power, a new hot spring has been birthed in the world.
Well, it does not seem that grandiose though.
The hot spring temperature is not that high. It could be used immediately just as is.
“Anri, get the sample”
[Roger that. A sample has been collected. I have done a simple analysis to determine the effects of the hot spring. Would you like to hear it?]
“Aa. What kind of hot spring is this?”
[From my analysis, I conclude that the hot spring has effects including healing external wounds and easing muscle fatigue on the human body]
“The hot spring we had before had fatigue relieving effects too but this hot spring also has wound healing properties eh?”
When he heard that the hot spring has healing effects, he does not feel like soaking in it anymore. In that aspect, Renya still could not let go of his common sense as a human off in this kind of time yet.
But then again, a part of him still comprehends the existence of this hot spring that could heal the wounds incurred in battle. It seems that he had heard about the same thing back on earth so he could accept the fact more naturally.
In any case, they have achieved their goal of coming here. The group could now take a dip in the hot spring while gazing on the sea at the distance.
‘’O-i, if you girls have finished your preparation, let’s…… take a dip”
When Renya turns back, he suddenly becomes speechless.
Because in front of his eyes now is a simple undressing room that is created from wooden poles and cloth.
He does not have any intention of peeking but he still needs to confirm the girls’ condition so he calls them over the partitioning cloth.
That partitioning cloth is not something he could carelessly touch. Even when the one undressing inside is his harem, there are still some lines that he should not cross no matter what.
And one of those lines is when the girls are changing their clothes.
“Floria? I’m asking just in case but everyone is now undressing inside right?”
“That’s right~. If you peek then we will bury you from the neck down until we finish bathing you know~”
“Didn’t you just casually say something scary there, oi!? I said it before that I won’t involve myself when you girls are changing”
In Renya’s point of view, forget about underwear, they have even looked at each other’s birthday suit. But it seems that for the girls, being seen when changing their clothes seems to have its own category of embarrassment.
Indeed, Renya also personally thought of it as an act that is lacking delicacy so he does not have any reason to complain about it. But the number one reason why he easily agrees is something else.
“Well, if Elvira says that she is happy to get changed in front of me then I would gladly watch though”
“Re-Renya-sama!? There’s no way I would feel happy with that right!?”
“Raise your hand if you think she is lying~”
“Lie”
“Li~e”
“…… Lie”
“E? E? Why does nobody believe me!?”
Renya couldn’t see whether everyone else was really raising their hand but the image of Elvira greatly panicking on the other side of the clothes is floating in the back of his eyes.
“Now that you mention it~, I honestly think that Elvira’s masochism level has been rising by a lot lately”
“I have to agree with that. I heard from Floria before that Elvira’s ‘training’ has progressed and I can’t help but agree with her”
“When it is Elvira-oneesan’s turn to accompany Renya-oniisan in the night, Renya-oniisan would go on a full offensive and becomes incredibly dominant desu. Compared to the past, I think the exchange between the two has definitely leveled up desu”
“…… Elvira-oneechan…… when Renya-oniichan…… do anything to her…… she never hates it”
When Rebecca, who is the latest to join the group shows her affirmation to it, even Elvira started to feel greatly flustered by that assessment. Unbeknownst to herself, her disposition has reached a place where she could not return back anymore.
“In my opinion, I think that Elvira is the closest one to master the peak of abnormality. The runner up is probably myself though”
“Saying that you are the runner up brazenly like that is also something amazing in my opinion…… But I have to agree that only Elvira would accept all kind of weird idea that Renya would think of from time to time”
“D-don’t you think it is just like giving me the finishing blow there?”
But as Elvira herself is aware of the symptoms that are happening with her, she can’t strongly deny their opinion so all she could do is to hurry getting changed into her bath wear and escape into the hot spring.
Elvira who had soaked herself into the hot spring is making her body look smaller. Starting from the feeling of disgrace, there is no doubt that her heart is under the conflict of various emotions When Renya looks at her shrinking herself like that.
Renya quickly gets changed and then he sits down beside Elvira whose eyes are a bit teary and then hugs her shoulder.
“Well…… just blame me for that. Even if you have the qualities for that, I am the one who awakens than qualities after all”
“That doesn’t comfort me at all. Renya-samaa~……”
“N~ I personally don’t think I did anything bad though. Other members just change their opinion about you from being a soft masochist character to a hardcore masochist character. Nothing, in particular, would change because of it right?”
“But I feel that the change diverts me into a bad direction……”
“In my opinion, Elvira is still on the innocent side. In the world where I came from, there are a lot more people with even more dangerous ideas you know? And that is not even limited by gender”
“I don’t know whether I should be happy or not when getting compared as the more innocent one……”
“Then how about listening to everyone’s opinion? O-i. Why are you guys taking so long? Come quickly~”
The rest of the members reply to Renya’s question with a yes and enter the hot spring one after another.
This place is outside the Hlidskjalf so just for caution, the girls are also wearing their bath wear.
Floria: “Even if Elvira’s masochism progresses further, it won’t do anything to us after all, right?”
Brenda: “Un, it is just a fact and nothing else”
Floria: “Rather, it would be troublesome for us if there is no one who could accept Renya’s peculiar conception, right?”
Therese: “I-it’s would be impossible for me”
Rebecca: “…… I know…… that oneechan is like that…… and I never have…… any trouble”
“See? No problem, right?”
Renya smiles at Elvira like saying that what he says before is correct.
Just in case, Renya also told Elvira that back on Earth, it is hard for such people with this kind of special disposition to find a correct partner to fulfill their special needs and that special disposition would turn worse. After hearing that, at first, Elvira feels worried but after thinking about it a bit more, she realizes that it is not a problem for her anymore so she could finally calm down and come to an understanding.
That’s right, when she is together with the other party member, she could just be the way she is.
Feeling embarrassed because she is different from the others is a common feeling and she indeed feels worried for a bit and made her totally forgot that the people around her now is not someone who would easily drive her out just because of something like that.
“Mmm~. Enjoying a hot spring while enjoying a great view like this is such a luxury, right?”
“Ah, I forgot that I also bought juice with me. Anyone want a drink?”
“Please give me one”
“A, give me one too desu”
“…… Me three”
“Yes yes, please wait a bit”
In the newly dug hot spring where the steam continuously rises up, everyone is relaxing in their own way.
Looking at the scene made Elvira think of something for a bit.
“Renya-sama, it is really a good bath”
“Aa, I feel very good”
And then she gives her most beautiful smile to the God who had given her this happiness.
“Master, there is trouble. A Hot spring suddenly appeared on this island!”
“Ha!? Is there a possibility that a hot spring suddenly appears out of nowhere!?”
Renya is in the mood for fishing today so he is currently sitting on the edge of the ship’s deck to fish directly in the sea but suddenly, Anrietta comes to report a strange matter to him.
In the first place, when Renya ordered Anrietta to find a resort island, he had also included finding hot springs in the category and of course, Anrietta’s searching result did not find any hot springs in this island before.
“I presume that the hot spring source comes from a deeper depth than the default number I set into the underground scanner……”
“…… If the spring source that is similar to an underground water source suddenly raises close to the surface like this…… Doesn’t it mean that there is something weird happening on this island?”
“I have immediately re-investigate the surrounding area of the island the moment I detected the anomaly and there is no other anomaly detected. I also don’t detect any sign of danger from the activity of the planet’s crust”
“So what is the cause of this situation then?”
“The only reason I can think of is because of a type of magic beast that lives underground and passes by the area by chance and opens up a hole that covers the source of water. The tunnel dug by the magic beast then becomes a new underground water network. This hypothesis has the most logical reasoning”
“The cycle of nature that happened by chance, is it?”
“That’s right. We already got the source coordinate so how about we dig it up?”
“Ah. It is closeby anyway. We can do that while leisurely explore the area”
While saying that, Renya immediately put away his fishing gear and gathered the members inside Hlidskjalf.
The plan for today will be changed into hot spring exploration and excavation.
◇
“So we are going to dig up a new hot spring that just appeared by chance? I’m feeling excited already~”
“I have to remind you that the hot spring source might have a very high temperature so everyone needs to pay attention okay?”
The woman group replied “Yes!” together with high spirit.
Renya had said that any member that already had plans for today could abstain from the exploration but for some reason, everyone decided to join him in the end. But it can be said as Renya’s fault because everyone in the group has fallen in love with taking a hot bath now even when there are differences between individuals. They would lie if they say that they don’t feel excited hearing that a new hot spring has been found.
Especially for Therese as she has an interest in the process of hot spring digging itself.
“Then Renya, should we just dig around randomly then?”
“Are you going to make this island filled with holes, Floria? Anri is in the middle of scanning the entire island with higher precision equipment so let’s wait for her to pin down the center area”
After Anrietta found the spot to dig, Renya would mostly be the one who digs the hole with his divine power while Brenda uses her magic to prevent the gushing hot spring from harming the other members. Honestly, there is no point for the other member to be present but then again, everyone wants to immediately experience how the newly dug hot spring would feel like.
The digging point for the hot spring is located around the center of the island where the area around it consists mostly of hills.
The hills around aren’t that tall enough to be called a mountain and there are a lot of rocky areas around so one could walk around the place feeling like going on a picnic.
As the digging point has been narrowed down by Hlidskjalf’s sensor, Renya and his group manage to reach the place without getting lost.
“By the way, Brenda, you are unexpectedly tough. When one hears about a magician, most will have the impression of them being nerdy and doesn’t have that much stamina but I never heard her complaining about getting tired ever”
