Are we done?

With a word like that, my arm was let go of me easily without twitching.
And so it should be.
The stern master and a young man with an apparently excessive amount of bloodlust behind him were staring at me with a mallet and a saw in their hands.

'Work, may we begin?　There's only one thing left to do here.
''Yes.......... I beg your pardon........

Master's, 'Just get it over with! So the two of them were defeated by the aura and let go of their arms at the same time easily.

'....Thank God. Sorry to keep you waiting, master.
No, well, it won't take long. But first, we'll have to take down the wall ourselves.
Well, I don't mind, it's just that it helps, but...

I could truly ask them to at least remove it.
I'd appreciate it if you would do it for me.

'All right, boys!　Get it done!
"'Ooohhhhhh!!!'

The young people roared and ran to the old, fragile wall and began to break down the wall with their momentum... or something to relieve their exasperation.

''Oaaaah!
They're all........not much different, blah blah blah blah blah!
'I envy you!　I'm jealous!　People like that are the reason why there are more singles!
'Ummm ... Mr. Wendy ...'
Don't cry!　You knew that was coming!
But but... but...
"The Amatkuni Boys!　Wish the girl you're in love with happy!　Now ... tear down the wall!
"...Yeah!　Ooh, wall koraaah!　You're not standing in front of me, Goluaa!

It looks like your resentment is ........building up.
Well I'm sorry?
But I can't give you Wendy. Give it up.

Well, you'll forgive her for that.
'No, yes. Forgive me, or maybe I'm sorry, but... what are your masters drinking?
Dark tea. The hostesses served it to the married couples. It's good for you.

So sweet!
You're combining sweet air with candy and tea!
Somehow Hayato and Makoto are also wandering around with their gazes looking uncomfortable, and oh, the moment their eyes met, they vigorously turned the other way.

Huh...............................The wall is finished breaking down!

In no time at all, the young people were breathing on their shoulders, breaking down the walls and collecting the trash as well.
It must have been so ........piled up.

'Good work. Get some rest.
""Shush!"

The young bachelors lumbered back towards the landlady.
They seemed to have gotten rid of their stress and looked a little cheerful.

Now, a strong, middle-aged, married couple appears with a bamboo fence made of strong-looking strings.
Perhaps they will build a bamboo fence to replace the wall that was broken.
Huh?　How do you make a bamboo fence?

"....they've been away from home for quite some time now...
What?
'Sizzle woo woo!　I love you, oh my God!

Zash!

Mom!　I'm sorry I went to that weird restaurant, oh my God!

Boom!

'I was like that when I was newly married...'

Zacchaeus!


And deeply. I'm sure that the ability to fit into the same line without an inch of error is a skill that comes from experience.

In that case, I'll go too.
And you?　........and what's that?

The master picked up an incredibly long and horizontal... what's this? It's like a reinforced wooden dragonfly for ground maintenance....

It's an Amatsu oak dragonfly mallet.

The master holds his dragonfly toward the newly inserted bamboo fence.
What? You don't think he's going to swing that down?
You're posing like a cheerleader waving a flag, but is your back okay?

While everyone was watching his every move, he kept his dragonfly at the ready, as if he were concentrating.

Then he felt a change in the air.
The master's eyes flashed!　It opened and jumped into the sky. And then--.

It's so long!

The master shouts while shaking down the dragonfly.
I'm sorry.....

The dragonfly that was swung down hit the top of the bamboo fence with precision, and seems to have bitten deeper into the ground, or perhaps a step lower than before.

"Ugh. It's something like this.

The master looked back at the connection between the bamboo fences and confirmed that there was no gap between them.
He placed the dragonfly on his shoulder and looked back with a satisfied look on his master's face.

It's because you were good at it, right?

I'm really, really sorry.
It's all right. It's a grown-up's way of laughing and forgiving sweetness and youth.

Well..........we had a lot of complaints....

"Let's do the rest!
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

The rest.........oh.....
I suddenly realized that there was more than just one side of the wall.
Two more sides.........the envy of the masters, nostalgia, and dissatisfaction contest would take place.

And..........

'It all happened so fast.........'

With the efforts of my masters and the help of Hayato and Makoto and the others, my hot spring was finally completed.......
Ah ... it's wonderful.
When I think of this hot spring as mine........regardless of the fact that it's a mixed bath, my cheeks naturally relax.

'Yes......... But it was fun, man.

The craftsmen, led by the master, with a good smile on their faces.
Yeah. It was fun. And I think we've done something really good.

"Oh?　It's finally finished...?
Not yet. You don't have hot water in the hot springs, you don't look good. There's hot water, right?
'Oh yeah well then...'

I approach the place where the hot water is poured out and make it look like I'm working on something, and the hot water, once transferred from the source to the magical space and the temperature has been adjusted, is poured out (output).

''Oh!''

The hot water slowly seeping in and then gradually building up was a source of delight, but I kept my eyes firmly on the water to see if there were any leaks.

'........seems to be okay.
Oh. Congratulations.

I wipe the sweat from my hands with my clothes once as I'm gouged out, and then grip my master's hand firmly.

''Once again, good job,''
As do you, master. Thank you for your work.
'Ha, that's my job. I've written a description of the building. We're celebrating in good company.
Hey, don't you want to mix it up?

It's such a good day. Wendy and the others won't say it's a waste of money if we give them a big plate of food.
Besides, there's a hot spring, which might be hard to do all at once, but if we split it up into two, we can all get in, right?

I'll take care of this one. My clothes are dirty. Who's gonna take a bath in a house just because you built it?

That's true, but....
How lonely it is, isn't it?

'Sir!　It was fun, you know!
It's one thing not to be able to eat Wendy's food, but it's another thing to get drunk and destroy your house after you've had your drunken romp!
'Amatkuni boys are fast eaters, deep drinkers and fast fighters!
You know what I mean. We'll drink till morning. We're going to rent out the best place in town for a drink.　I've lost a lot of money thanks to you!

A quick bill.
Ah, the bill for materials.
As I recall, I asked for around 100 million but.....
Let's see, let's see........just 100 million........
I was so good at managing things.
He's really good at it.

I'll take care of the bill. Have a great time with the bill.
'Oh!　We won't get paid, all we have to do is go back to Amatkuni. The money we've been given to fund the mission has to be spent to the hilt!

Maybe they'll really use it up exactly........

'Oh yeah, I forgot. I'll do this.
Hmmm... is this a comb?
Oh. I don't have any more supplies. This one is for hair. This one is for your hair and this is for your tail and ears. There are several of them, so use them as you like.

It's your choice..............................wow.
There are numerous items available from fine to coarse combing.
I could tell at a glance that it wasn't just because there was a surplus of materials.

Your combs are so popular that you can't get them now!　And it's not an apprentice, it's handmade by him!　It's a dish that even the top brass would want!
'Well..... Thank you, master. I'll take good care of it.
Oh. Take care of the girls.
Of course.
Hmm, it's none of my business. I'll see you later.

With that, the masters left.
The youngsters were waving their hands vigorously to the end, while everyone else was happily talking about what they had been concerned about in this house.

''Well. My contract period is over.
Yeah, the guide is coming, right?
'Erm ... can I go?'
Of course. You've helped me with this, you're welcome to join me.
...for free, right?
Of course I'm going to...
Then let's join in!

It's cash. But I think it's good to be a guide.
Come to think of it, you have to pay the fee in a clear color.
You have done more than the contract, and I will at least let you do that.

'Hmm, I need to ask the guide a few questions.
Yeah. That's what happens when we're gone.
'What?　Huh?　What is it?　What are you going to ask me!　Oh, I knew I shouldn't do it, ack!

With Shiro and Sorte firmly caught on her shoulder by the guide, it seems that she can't escape and a girl's party will be held before the banquet.
........good luck!

Good. Let's get ready then. You can leave the hot water on, but I'm going to cook. Me, Chris, Wendy and Mika are good at cooking too, aren't we?
'Oh, yes!　I have the skills and I'm fine.
'Then let's take this crew to the galley. We're a big group, so let's go for it.
"'Yes!　I'll do my best.
Everyone else can get some rest, but you'll have to come back for your food at the right time. And don't eat the nibbles.
""Yes!"

Now then, let's have one last hurrah.
There's a large group of people, including Hayato, Shin and the others.
We've got to put our energies into it, including Shiro, Aina and the others.

...and that thing I got with my pocket money.
We've got all these drifters lined up for this much.
It's not a large amount, but I think we should be generous with it.
However, I don't have enough broth ingredients to make the soup that I want to make.
Hmmm........I wonder if we can find it in this town.......
