At dawn, I go to the well to get water to wash my face.

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

I could have used a pebble, but I think cold well water is more refreshing to wash my face when I wake up.

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

Aisha took care of my dinner last night, so I will cook it today.

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

After washing my face and feeling refreshed, I start making breakfast.

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

Just as I was about to serve it, Aisha woke up.

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

She had been tidying her room until quite late last night, and looked unusually sleepy.

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

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you this morning," she said.

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

I laugh and tell her not to worry about it, and she starts helping me serve the food without saying a word, smiling and laughing.

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

"You can rest now, I spoiled you last night."

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

While I was saying that, she had finished serving.

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

She's a very skillful [cooking level 6], isn't she?

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

"After we finish eating, I'm going to talk to the craftsman about the bath, like I told you yesterday.

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

　Does Aisha know any good craftsmen?"

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

"Hmmm, there's a Dwarf guy that the guild asked me to do some work for them, should I visit him?"

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

Dwarf craftsmen! That sounds like a skill!

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

I'm sure you'll have some good ideas, and maybe we can ask you for something in the future: .......

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

I'll definitely talk to that craftsman!

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

Aisha took me to the dwarven craftsman's workshop.

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

My house is usually on the outskirts of town, but the craftsman's workshop was also on the outskirts of town.

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

My house, which is owned by a hunter, is surrounded by empty lots and looks lonely. .......

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

There are several workshops and bars here, and there is a good amount of pedestrian traffic, so even though it is on the outskirts of town, it seems to be a lively place to a certain extent.

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

"Are you here, master?

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

Aisha opens the entrance to the workshop and calls out inside.

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

A Dwarf woman sitting at what looks like a reception desk answers her.

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

"Oh my, you're not Aisha. You want to see my master? Just wait a minute, I'll get him."

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

The woman at the reception desk, who spoke in a strangely peculiar manner, was running toward the back of the workshop with a thump? He went away.

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

After a while, a tall old man for a dwarf came in, his face blackened with soot, as if he had been working on something.

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

"Hey, Aisha, isn't it? I was worried when I heard you quit the guild."

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

It seems that the master of the workshop was the one who approached Aisha with a big smile on his face.

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

"Yes, I'm sorry for the unexpectedness. I'm getting married. ......"

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

Aisha said this as she looked at me, and for the first time the master seemed to recognize my presence.

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

"Good morning! My name is Mine!"

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

I greeted him as usual, and he seemed a little puzzled, but immediately flashed me a toothy smile.

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

As my mother and father taught me, greetings are important!

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

"Well, well, well, Mine, I see. I am Roku, the owner of this workshop. Remember that."

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

Mr. Roku laughs loudly and smacks me on the back.

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

......It hurts, but he seems like a nice guy.

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

Aisha looks on with a wry smile as she sees me being slapped on the back.

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

No, I don't want her to watch, I want her to tell me to stop, if she can.

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

He patted me on the back for a while, but when he was satisfied, he quit patting me and asked me, rubbing his magnificent beard.

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

"So, what do you want today? Did you come to tell me about your marriage?"

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

"No, I came to consult with you about building a bath in my house.

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

He then tells his master about his plans for the bath.

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

A large bath tub.

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

The sides of the bathtub should have several depressions of about 3cm x 3cm.

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

There is no need for a mechanism to make hot water and a mechanism to fill it with water.

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

The wastewater is filtered and stored in a tank for reuse in the home.

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

"Well, if you can skip the part of making hot water and filling the bath tub, you can make it in three days. .......

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

　Are you sure you want to do that? It's a lot of work to fill it with hot water, isn't it?"

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

Usually, they use a special magical tool to draw water from a well, which is then heated in a special kiln and poured into a hot water pot.

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

Therefore, the cost of construction and magical tools is ridiculously high, and the work is very large.

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

This is a bottleneck, and seems to be the reason why baths have not become popular among the general public.

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

"Yes, that's fine!

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

The master was perplexed, but agreed to take on the bath work at his house.

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

It seems that it was just a time when he was free in his workshop, and he will start making the bath tubs today.

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

The master of the house, along with a few apprentices, will come to the house and work on the place.

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

Things are progressing faster than I had expected.

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

Maybe we can make it in time before Sylphy arrives.

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

I'm really thankful to my master.

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

"This is Dine's house, then what? Mine is Dine's son?"

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

When I showed the master around the house, he was suddenly surprised.

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

He said he was a friend of his father's.

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

I knew he had a big face, but .......

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

butcher, alchemist, weapons shop, armor shop...... and the master.......

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

I think it's not that broad.

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

When he found out that I am his son, he was very enthusiastic.

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

I can hear him muttering that he can't compromise when it comes to tinkering with Dine's house.

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

He is talking to his apprentice as if he has changed.

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

"Yes! Do the best job we can do!"

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

Aisha and I look at each other and giggle at the energy.

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

The apprentices seemed to be fired up by their master's words of encouragement, and in no time at all, the interior design was being completed.

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

It is obvious that the interior is more luxurious than we had expected.

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

"Oh, master, it's more luxurious than the ...... meeting!"

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

No matter how much money you can afford to spend, there is always a budget. .......

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

Don't worry about it, we'll make it exactly according to the budget we just decided.

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

　I'm looking forward to it, and I'll make a great bath that will rival the finest inns."

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

Oh, my master is out of control.

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

There's no stopping him now. .......

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

The work went on until late at night, and to my surprise, everything was finished except for the bathtub.

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

I haven't seen the finished bathhouse yet because I was told that it's off limits for a while due to curing, but it must be amazing. .......

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

When the apprentices, including the master who was working on the bathhouse, left, I was really impressed by their faces, which looked strangely like men who had completed their work.

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

I wonder if it's OK, I think we're way over budget. .......

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

The next day, the apprentice came to tell us that today's work had been canceled because it was taking too long to make the bath tub.

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

The apprentice ...... had dark circles under his eyes, but he wasn't still working on it after he left yesterday, was he?

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

The next day, Sylphy left for the capital for the eighth day.

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

She should be back by now at the earliest.

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

I want to surprise her by finishing the bath by then.

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

It was originally supposed to be finished today, but since my master ...... has gone out of control and is building a bathhouse that exceeds even the most luxurious hotels, I'm not sure if I can finish it or not.

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

But there's no way I can ask him to finish it, since there's no way I can tell him that I'm not doing my best for him.

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

It was around noon, and as I was relaxing, the master came to the house with his apprentices.

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

"I made the best bathtub ever!

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

With a big, happy smile on his face, he headed for the bathroom under construction.

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

He really intends to finish it by the end of the day.

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

Later I heard from the master that it is the responsibility of the craftsman to make the best products on time, no matter what happens during the construction.

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

Even though he went out of control, he was working according to the schedule as long as he said 3 days at first.

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

Aisha really introduced me to a good craftsman.

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

I think I should learn a lot from her attitude, even though it may have been her father.

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

......Well, I'm sure the apprentice must have felt like dying.

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

I am so sorry!

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

About two hours later, ...... the bath was completed.

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

"Can you wait until tomorrow to use it, so it has time to cure? No, it was a really good job."

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

Originally, the contract price was 800 gold coins.

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

However, the finished bathhouse was not as good as I thought it would be, even if I had been an amateur.

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

When I looked at the completed bath, I found that it was larger and more luxurious than the one at the Silver Bell Pavilion where I had stayed in the town of Adol.

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

It was natural that it was large since I had ordered a larger bath, but it was totally different from what I had said and what I had seen.

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

The master said that the floor was covered with some kind of high-grade building material called "what kind of stone" (I heard the name, but I don't remember it well).

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

The stone is non-slip and dries easily, and although it is expensive, it is definitely the right material to use for a bathroom.

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

Furthermore, the walls were covered with wooden planks that smelled very good.

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

It smelled like being in a forest, and it seemed to be a very expensive building material.

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

And then, of course, there was the bath tub.

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

The bath tub was made of a different high-grade building material than the floorboards, and its blackish luster was beautiful.

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

It is also carved with very detailed decorations, making it a kind of work of art.

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

The hole I had requested to put a pebble in was also well made, and as the owner said, the workmanship was as good as that of a high-class inn.

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

I thanked the owner and handed him ten white gold coins.

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

It was more than the original price, but I still thought it was cheap.

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

The master was adamant, but when Aisha and I bowed to him and told him that we were sincerely grateful, he reluctantly accepted our offer.

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

At any rate, the long-awaited bath is now complete.

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

Let's look forward to taking it tomorrow.
