Chapter157，Part2: 2 - Digging an Onsen Chapter 157 Digging an Onsen Part 2

Luke shrugged his shoulders as if it couldn’t help, and *dondon* tapped Anthem’s armored leg and pointed him out.

“O?, o?, Anthem. Look at this land. You are only four ters, so there is plenty of space! Think about it calmly, it is about a hundred ter long, so ermm…… We can go up to twenty-five of you.” (Luke)

Good grief, I have no idea what the hell Luke was talking about, but Luke is right. I should say sothing appropriate and follow suit.

“Yes, he is right, it is alright, and if we don’t have enough space, we can ask Lucia to distort the space with her magic. Easily, eaaasily.” (Cry)

“Wait! Can you please stop saying whatever you want? …… Well, leaving aside creating a Ryokan, if it is just a matter of digging a hole, I can sohow do it…… Anthem-san, you don’t need to worry about this. As I need to do my best as Leader is always *daradara* slacking off.” (Lucia)

“………… I’m so sorry about that.” (Anthem)

Anthem lowered his head covered by a large helt.

The number of tis I have troubled Anthem exceeds far more tis than the number of tis Anthem has troubled . I wonder if it is enough to repay him by just digging an Onsen.

Co on, dig it quickly, diiig! It is ti to make effective use of your unnecessarily high physical abilities to good use! This is much easier than fighting Monsters.

Liz jumped off Anthem’s shoulder with a light jump and Luke rolled up his sleeves.

“Leader, you can’t just dig an Onsen you know? You have to sohow pump it up or it won’t be good……” (Lucia)

“Aaaah………… Then, can’t you use that? You know, that magic you showed a long ti ago, the one that creates a fountain.” (Cry)

It is a magic that makes water spurt out of the ground. I wanted to know how far magic could go, so I asked Lucia to create that magic.

By the way, I rember her complaining to a lot at that ti. I haven’t matured at all……

Maybe because she rembered it, Lucia made a loathing expression.

“………… That magic, after using it, I used it to blow up a castle though.” (Lucia)

“………… Just tweak the output a little bit? Don’t worry, it will work one way or another…… Because, it has always worked out so far.” (Cry)

“It is not that it did work one way or another, it is because I managed to make it work. Haaa……” (Lucia)

“For now, let’s leave the major work to Lucia-chan, so let’s work out the details. In the worst case, we just need to keep at it for a few days. We will leave the rest to contractors and have them slowly fix it.” (Sytry)

As usual, Sytry did a good job at summarizing everything. Lucia and the others had been away for a long ti, so this scene seed like it had been a long ti since it last happened.

Usually, I just sit around because there is nothing that I can do, but today, I feel like working.

I rushed through Sytry’s land and stopped near the center.

“Yosh, Lucia. Let’s dig around here for the ti being!” (Cry)

“Again you are doing as you please……” (Lucia)

“Don’t worry, Lucia-chan. They said that no matter where you dig around this area, you will usually hit an Onsen. Besides, if you fail, you can always try again until you hit one, right?” (Sytry)

As Sytry admonished Lucia, she ca to with a loathing expression. She has reached her rebellious period.

And then, she took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and cast a spell in a whisper.

Her long black hair was floating in the air even though there was no wind.? I can’t see it because I lack the ability to sense magic, but I’m guessing that Lucia is building up her magic by emitting a huge amount of magic from her body right now.

The place I indicated made a *mishimishi* creaking sound, and a large dark hole of about a ter wide opened up. I waited with bated breath for the hot water to co out. However, no matter how long I waited, there was no sign of hot water coming out.

“…………? *Areh*? Where’s the Onsen?” (Cry)

“I dug about two thousand ters, but…… Looks like I didn’t hit a water source. I knew it, it looks like we got an empty shot.” (Lucia)

I knew? What do you an by I knew it? Wasn’t it that no matter where we dig, we will find one…… I am disappointed.

Well, I could show her another place, but I knew it, I am unlucky. Sytry also smiled while being troubled.

Just as I was about to turn my gaze away from the hole to look for a new place, a dark hand suddenly ca out of the hole and grabbed the ground.

My heart almost stopped because of it. But then, Lucia kicked the hand away without hesitation.

A human-like hand with claws let go of the ground and disappeared into the hole without a single sound.

………… What? Just now……

“Moh~! With Leader, it imdiately becos like this! I am closing it? Alright?” (Lucia)

“Wait a minute, Lucia! Was that subterranean people? It was a subterranean person, right!? I’ll go!!” (Luke)

“Wait, Lucia-chan~. It will be such a waste ~! I want to see what’s inside~! Co on Ti, let’s go~!” (Liz)

Liz and Luke threw their shovels and rushed to the side of the hole.

I thought to myself, “I can’t wait to go to the Onsen with everyone”.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Haha just because Cry pointed the place to dig, subterranean or underground people co out! What were the odds? 10 out of 10? XD

And loved Lucia’s reaction, just kicked the hand as if it was nothing and kept going with the digging.

Tchao à plus!
