126 お湯を使おう

After explaining the situation, Masaru drew water from different sources for different purposes, such as hot springs, cooking, and living.

After explaining the situation, Masaru drew water from different sources for hot springs, cooking, living, etc. The sight of steam leaking from everywhere made people a little uneasy and excited about the new life they were about to build.

Don't ever put your hands or feet directly into the source! It's so hot you'll burn yourself! ......... Careful, the steam is dangerous too!

While Masaru is making adjustments to ensure safe use, people who have never seen a hot spring before are curiously peering into the pool of water and putting their hands in the steam.

"Big brother! There's a problem! The fish is lost in the water!

Masaru tilted his head at the words of Mei, the rabbit man who had come running from somewhere, and looked at the place where he was taken by hand.

I'm not sure what to do. Please help him!

It was a water tank that had once been filled with spring water for cooking, and the temperature was still high, around 90 degrees Celsius.

What's with all the fish swimming around? I mean, where did they come from?

"Mister, the fish is lost!

Wait a minute, Mei... maybe this fish is a fish that lives in hot water. In a way, a lost fish is definitely a lost fish. .... "Is the fish okay?

"Is the fish okay?

"I'll check it out, but leave the fish alone. I'll check it out.

There were three long, thin fish about ten centimeters long swimming in the hot water in the tank, and judging from the situation, they had definitely slipped into the water from an underground vein, but I was surprised that any fish could survive in such hot water.

I'm going to cover this place up so that people don't fall in.

When Masaru said this, the children around him let out a frustrated voice.

"Don't worry. And if the water gets too cold, the fish will say it's cold.

She said as she closed the lid.

I'm going to go in case there are any more lost fish. I'm going.

He then went to the hole where the source was coming out and adjusted the tube so that the source, once it had accumulated in the water tank that had been hastily added behind the temple, would be separated from the rest of the city. At this time, we must remember to install a filter to prevent any creatures or foreign substances from being sent to the tank.

Let's see if those fish are edible, shall we? ...No, what are they eating to survive?

The prospect of more work was starting to creep up on me.

"We'll need less firewood now!

I was relieved to hear that this was the general consensus in the town, but I felt sick to my stomach when I thought of the adjustments and safety measures to be taken.
