Chapter 36: The best healing for an exhausted Oneesan

I took Emma to the auberge. First of all, she has to put down her luggage and relax her muscles.

“Upa, we have a guest!”

As I led Emma inside, Upa straightened his back and bowed gracefully.

“Welcome”

He’s kind of cool……

He’s a manly man by nature, so there’s no flaw in his actions. Emma is also a little stunned seeing him.

“You can take her to room 201. That room has the best view.”

Room 201 consumed points and is furnished with good things. Here, it is treated as a suite.

“Understood. Dear guest, let me send your luggage there.”

Upa does a good job of playing the role of manager.

“Emma, get some rest for a while. I’ll take you to the hot springs when you’re ready. If you want a drink, go to the restaurant. You can take it with you to your room.”

Leaving Upa to take care of her, I ran to the hot springs.

I wanted to upgrade the facility before I had Emma use the hot springs. What we have now is just an open-air bath with no walls. Emma would be embarrassed to enter it for sure.

I have to rebuild it into a proper hot spring facility before it can be used.

Possible to build: Small hot spring facilities Description: Hot springs flowing from the source. There are separate baths for men and women. Dressing room is included. Points Required: 20 Necessary expenses: 100,00 crown coins

I have 42 points and just 100,200 crown coins of money. If I use it here, I wouldn’t be able to buy goats and chickens from Paul-oniisan. But for now, I wanted to heal Emma.

“Alright, let’s get started!”

The new hot spring bath was soon completed. From an open bath, it turned into a one-story wooden building painted with light brown paint. As soon as you enter through the entrance, it becomes a separate entrance for men and women.

Red and blue curtains were hung at the entrance, and on each of the entrance, the words “Female” and “Male” were written in Kanji brush writing. By the way, the language of this country was also written in small writing. The kanji I saw for the first time in a long time made me feel nostalgic.

This is the world of Island Maker after all……

On the other side of the curtain was a dressing room, with a small indoor bath decorated with mosaic tiles, a washing area, and an open-air bath outside.

“This…… It’s Mt. Fuji……”

The mosaic on the wall was a picture of Mt. Fuji, which is a standard in public baths. The scene, brought back to life across time and space, struck a chord with me as a person who was Japanese in my past life.

Tears welled up in my eyes with nostalgia.

By spending 1 more point, I could change the painting on the wall in various ways. There are 32 types in total.

“Oh, I can even paint one myself!”

On the dedicated page of the status screen, I can also create it like a pixel art. Come to think of it, I think Island Maker had a similar function.

For the time being, it is fine to leave Mt. Fuji as it is, but it seems interesting to replace it every season in the future.

The only tools available now are clothes baskets, but I can also put fans and vending machines by spending points. There is a coffee milk vending machine, so I would like to put it there. The price is 150 crown coins.

There’s café au lait in this world, but there’s no fruit milk anywhere. I don’t think Lynn can make that, no matter how genius a chef she is. I really wanted to make small improvements, but I don’t want to make Emma wait too long.

For the time being, I installed a fan only in the women’s bath, and then I went back to the auberge.

Back at the auberge, Emma is drinking tea at the counter in the restaurant.

“Emma, I’m sorry to keep you waiting. The hot springs are ready, please follow me.”

“Thank you. This is indeed a good place. It’s like coming to a country villa. The room was so cute that I like it very much.”

“That’s good to hear. Please make yourself comfortable.”

“By the way, the room you showed me smelled so good, what is that scent?”

“Oh, that’s my handmade aroma.”

Based on the magic potion taught by Nowald-sensei, I made an aroma stick with my own improvements. When I stayed at a hotel in my previous life, I felt like I saw something similar. It contains oil taken from lavender that blooms on the island, so it has a high relaxing effect and smooths the circulation of magic in the body.

In this world, scented oils, potpourri, and perfumes are used on a daily basis. But I’ve never seen a scent bottle with a reed diffuser (stick). The scent is not too strong and it is unique so Emma seems to like it.

“I wonder if you could sell me some? I really like it.”

“Sure. I have two extra bottles.”

“Well, if I could, could I have both? I’ll pay for them.”

“Okay, but I don’t really care about the money.”

“No. You should pay a fair price for such a good product. That is a natural courtesy for a merchant.”

Emma gave me a silver coin worth 5,000 crown coins as a payment for the scent bottle.

“This much?”

“It’s worth that much. Maybe you can sell it for a higher price. It depends on the demand.”

Popular perfumes in the city are quite expensive. Even in this world, there are many noble ladies who line up to buy them on its release date. There are many such perfumes that cost more than 30,000 crown coins each.

“If this aroma is also packaged in a cute bottle and sold, the product value will increase even more.”

Now it’s just a regular glass bottle. But I’ve heard good things about my aroma sticks. Developing a perfume with magical effects could be a good business. I’ll talk to Nowald-sensei about it later.

“Then let’s go.”

I took Emma to the hot springs that had just been built.
