Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 73.3

After a while of digging into the ground, I felt a change in the sensation of the rock through the scythe.

“Oh, we might be getting close.”

The young ladies, who had been watching the hole in the ground with bored expressions, brightened up.

“Will a hot spring really come out?”

“I think it will. I’ll try to keep the first hole as small as possible.”

As I weakened the momentum of the scythe and struck the ground, I felt a sensation of something breaking through.

“I think it broke through! Everyone, it’s dangerous, so please step back a bit!”

After stepping back a little from the hole in the ground and waiting for a while, a sweet scent wafted through the air.

“Ah! It smells like a hot spring~!”

The young lady was the first to raise her voice.

A hot spring… has a sweet smell…?

No, no, no, normally, isn’t it the scent of sulfur!?

White smoke rose from the hole, and eventually, slightly cloudy water— a hot spring— emerged.

“It really came out~!”

The scent of the hot spring I knew was a bit… no, quite different, but this floral sweet fragrance seemed to relax just by smelling it.

“See! Didn’t I tell you?”

“I can’t believe Beryl has such a special skill. That’s amazing. Just the scent of the hot spring has a relaxing effect, and just bathing in it has various benefits!”

“You know a lot about it.”

“Of course! For the nobility of the kingdom, hot springs are the ultimate luxury. There aren’t any hot spring areas in the kingdom, to begin with.”

“So, this will be the kingdom’s first hot spring area.”

Actually, it’s also possible to dig a hot spring in “World of Liberty.” There are various conditions, though.

If the mechanics are the same as in the game—hot springs won’t run dry, so it should become a very powerful specialty.

At that moment, Diana raised her hand.

“Everyone, please pay attention!”

Everyone turned to look at Diana.

“The fact that a hot spring has appeared in Kuroisa is truly delightful. However, since a hot spring has emerged, it could potentially become the kingdom’s most significant undertaking. If it’s conveyed to the kingdom as it is, we might be ordered by royal decree to offer the hot spring area!”

At Diana’s words, everyone’s gaze shifted to Al.

“Hahaha… Unfortunately, Lady Diana is correct. I will refrain from reporting to my father for a while. But I don’t believe we can hide the hot spring forever. We need to create a reason we can’t offer this land before it gets discovered.”

“I have a proposal regarding that. I won’t let anything bad happen to Beryl-kun, so can you leave it to me?”

“Of course, Diana! Please do whatever you think is best!”

“Hehe. Leave it to me~!”

However, I felt like she said, “This is one favor owed, you know?”
