"Ah, I'm coming back to life! After all, a hot spring is the best way to heal a tired body.

It sure feels good. It's a comfort to be able to soak in warm water and warm myself during this time of the year when it's starting to get cold."

"Oh, Leon has a good point. How about you, Carlos?　It feels good, doesn't it?

"Well, it's not bad. But the more revolutionary thing is that you can drink sake while soaking in the hot water. Sake goes well with a warm body, Ars.

　After finishing my work in Paramere, I somehow ended up soaking in the hot springs in the Barca Knight's territory with Carlos and Leon.

　Well, I invited Carlos to join us.

　Clarice had told me this when I had come to the hot spring with Lilina.

　It was about the problem that the grade of the inn was too low to invite guests from outside.

　So, I had him build a reasonable building based on the opinions of Clarice and others.

　The architect introduced by the Grahams built the hot spring resort in the form of a new bathtub.

　The building was completed and furnished.

　For the time being, the building was ready enough to invite my wife, Lilina, while targeting mainly the merchants of the area.

　When I received the report, I decided to enter the building.

　So, as usual, I invited Carlos to the spa as a way to add value to the hotel and to give it the brand power of being an inn approved by Carlos, the lord of the Fontana territory.

　However, I thought it was more likely that Carlos would not come.

　I thought it was more likely that Carlos would not come to the spa, since he seemed to be working even busier than I was.

　However, when I asked him to come, he agreed and we came together to the Barca Knight's territory to soak in the hot spring.

　Carlos himself, however, did not seem to find much meaning in the act of soaking in the hot spring.

　It may have been just for socializing.

"But you have found a nice inn, Mr. Ars. I think it's nice that we don't have to be naked outside like before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, maybe I was too free in the past. They seemed to be happy to see me there, but neither Lilina nor Clarice would have come to the hot springs voluntarily unless I had invited them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But wasn't your sister happy when she heard that this inn was built?"

"I guess. And the merchants who came to Vulcania also took a bath in the hot spring as a curiosity. Well, the fact that the herb baths are so popular is a bit subtle.

"Isn't it nice? This village is becoming famous for its medicinal herbs and hot springs. Isn't it because of the various things Mr. Ars has done?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Well, I'd appreciate it if you could make me famous.

　Personally, I think it would be better to take a bath without mixing anything in the water, but I heard that medicinal baths are popular as hot springs nowadays.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that the hot spring is now popular as a medicinal hot spring, utilizing some of the medicinal herbs that are grown stably all year round in the glass greenhouse of Linda Village.

　Actually, it is said that a meme has conducted a clinical trial on this and it is indeed effective.

　If this is the case, I can't forbid the use of medicinal herbs in hot springs just for my personal preference.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, it is said that medicinal herb hot springs are beginning to have a secret boom through the merchants.

I will tell the others about the hot springs. But let's get back to the main topic. Are you sure you can hold them off to the west, Ars?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Mr. Carlos. The inhabitants have been taken in and the paramour has been restored as a fortress. I think it is unlikely that it will be breached and taken back anytime soon.

"Okay. Ghana originally served Fontana as the knightly family with the greatest connection to the Arbalest territories. He should be able to handle it without incident. Then the next problem will be the Uruks in the east.

"Next?　Winter is coming, Mr. Carlos. If you move your men in the snow, they will freeze to death before they can fight.

"We know that. It would be difficult to actually take action immediately. But the power of the House of Uruk is weaker than ever. It would be unwise to let that happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Indeed, the House of Uruk has been greatly reduced in power over the past two years. Two of the Uruk's sons alone have been killed, and their forces have been greatly reduced.

"That's right, Leon. That's why we need to drive a wedge while we still can. Any suggestions?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, that's ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Ars?　Don't tell me you've decided to go out and kill everyone in the Uruk family again?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no, no, don't be absurd, Mr. Carlos. I was just thinking that you should make a general arrangement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Abbreviation, huh? What exactly?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I don't want to be asked for specifics. ....... How about this? You know that traitor from Fontana came out of the battle the other day?　We're going to use the Uruk people who were in league with him."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Use Uruk people?"

"We'll make him up as a so-called double agent. Knight X of Uruk (a pseudonym) had contacted a traitor in Fontana and arranged to coordinate with the Arbalest family in the west to launch a pincer attack. But in fact, this was a lie, and behind the scenes, he had connections with Mr. Carlos himself. The battle looked like the biggest crisis of the Fontana family, but in fact it was a strategy to take out the heads of the two noble families by having Carlos work with X."

"...... The knight of Uruk who was in contact with the traitor here was in fact a collaborator of mine. You mean to spread the lie that he is a traitor to the House of Uruk?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Master Carlos. Yes, Carlos. Because it doesn't matter if it's actually true or not. Why did the one who attacked us take out all the heads of the families? It's because someone was leaking information in advance. Did you find out which knight of Uruk was in contact with the informant who betrayed us?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, we've been squeezing every bit of information we can out of them. Yes, we are. We can't move our army in the winter and we can't do anything about it. Then we can use this time to spread false information so that it can penetrate Uruk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then perhaps we should do the same with the Arbalests. I believe our informant has information about the other side."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right. Leon is right. The people who were in contact between the two families told me everything they knew about the invasion, including the timing and the composition of the army, before they attacked us. I'll also say that I helped them take out the head of the family. Let's also pretend that we had an agreement to receive the territory from the Fontana family later.

"Ah, that's a good idea. I can't wait to see what happens when we all get together for the New Year's celebration after a winter of doubt and uncertainty when we can't even move around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You have a very good personality. All right, I'll go with this idea. I'll use my hands to keep the word out."

　Hmmm, I wonder if the other party had any idea that such a ruse was decided while soaking in the bathtub.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it is unlikely that they will move their forces again this year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, after discussing how to deal with the west and the east, the winter season arrived.
