Yeah, I did. I picked him up again. I found him again.
The adventurers were speechless as they gazed out over the city, with Adelina and Masaru chatting amongst themselves.
"What's with these people sticking together?
"Is there something wrong?
The streets were neatly lined with cobblestones, and the town was made of stone and brick. There is not a single piece of trash in the town, and the steam from the hot springs is coming from everywhere.
Man and beast seemed to be working well together, and the sound of happy laughter was coming from somewhere.
"...You're not dreaming, are you?
It's no wonder that the female archer spilled her words. In terms of the scale of life, but only in terms of the cityscape, it was no worse than the royal capitals of Greitas and Bazelarca. In fact, Masaru alone is responsible for the basic standards and design of the city, and the uniformity and unreality of the cityscape, which is too neat and tidy like a painting, is almost uncomfortable.
So, Adelina. What do people say about the public bathrooms?
"Most people seem to be in favor of it, but some people still don't like to expose their skin to other people. What do you think?
Some people are in favor of it, but some people don't like to expose their skin to other people. Also, I'd like to hear directly from those who are against it, so please take some time to do so. Okay.
"Okay. What else?
It might be a good idea to have a separate bathhouse for people from outside the city. Specifically, shower facilities for outsiders. "Why bother?
"Why bother?
"How often do regular travelers and adventurers wash their bodies? It's a hygiene measure, just in case. Just in case.
The two adventurer women turn their heads, their cheeks reddening slightly.
Two adventuring women turn slightly red in the cheeks and say, "It's better to have it around the entrance to the city so people don't bring in diseases. I don't have any disease.
"I don't have any disease!
The mace-wielding woman reacted to Adelina's words without thinking.
I'm not talking about everyone. I'm not talking about everyone, I'm just saying that if we keep putting off measures because this time it was okay, we'll be in trouble if there really is a plague crisis. I was talking about the fact that if we postpone action because we were okay this time, we will be in trouble if there is a real crisis.
It's better not to start a fire than to put it out as soon as it starts, right? It's the same thing. It's the same thing.
It's not as easy as it seems, and it's difficult because it's obvious... That's why we shouldn't cut corners, but human beings tend to want to take it easy when no problems occur. This includes disaster prevention, safety management, and daily tasks such as cleaning toilets.
At any rate, there are six of them, and you can arrange three houses for them. Two boys, two girls, and two men, okay?
What, you'll give them three houses?
"It's the same type of house you see over there. It's the same type of house as the one over there.
All the houses in this town are made to the same standard. The houses in this town are all made to the same standard, so it's difficult to make them look different. ...Except for Masaru's house. But Masaru's house is different.
"Is he a big guy? I thought he was .... because he was wandering around by himself. I thought...
He's a great man. He's the one who made this city what it is. He built this city.
Adelina chases after the surprised adventurers with a look of surprise on her face.
No, this city has a chief, and Adelina is practically in charge of the whole thing. I'm just a simple janitor who lives in a temple. ...
For some reason, the adventurers froze at Masaru's words.
"......... You live in a temple? I've never heard of a temple being inhabited because it's the home of the gods?
The shield-bearer's fearful question froze Masaru in his tracks.
"......... Seriously?
I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out. It's a good thing you have a big house to live in, Masaru. Masaru.
You're lucky to have a big house, Masaru. ......... If Adelina, who took a peek at my bath in that big house, says so, then I guess so. I'm not sure.
What? I told you it was an accident.
"Oh, my God, that's so hot!
Wait, wait, wait!
Masaru, who is teasingly running away, and Adelina, whose face has turned red, start chasing each other. The adventurers who were left behind enjoyed the peaceful and beautiful city.
