Chương 345: Chapter 328. Planning A Reward For Hard work

" Yes, put the door right there!"" On it!" It's been 4 days since the hot spring water was discovered. Since then, Prince Delcan has been working diligently to form all of the earthen walls that will act as the walls for the hot spring waters. With everything proceeding smoothly, we've created a building around the first spring that we found, with the size of the pool, we were able to easily split it off into 3 sections, Women's, Families' and Men's, in that exact order.

I thought that was best to avoid any situations where the women may be peaked on by perverts. Right now, the building was quite bare bones as the final door was being cut into the back wall of the entrance hall of the building, but once that's done, we can add the simple things like a desk for a Receptionist and the dressing room before you head into the hot springs. The only thing that will take an extended amount of time will be the faucets for washing yourself before stepping into the hot springs."

Are you sure we can't just go and take a dip yet, Em?"" No, not yet, the checklist hasn't been completed yet by the Safety Team."" Really?"" Yes, it takes some time to test it. Sure, the biggest issues, like the germs are being looked after and treated accordingly, but we still need to check that the Ventilation System is alright."" But you have long walls with no roofs? Shouldn't that be fine?""

It depends on the direction of the wind usually, which is what's being checked currently, along with any issues concerning the water and if it can cause skin rashes and the like. We'll need at least another 2 days, let alone the time it'll take to put in the actual cleaning stations before getting into the springs."" It seems like so much work just to enjoy a hot bath."" Well, at least the team is quite spirited with their work."" Yeah, there was quite a bit of scrutiny from everyone about Mat-...

Lord Matthew establishing this team." Ruby corrected herself before she made a mistake. While outside, we tend to refer to Matthew by his Formal Title, since we're both Commoners. Even though Ruby's Family has a long, illustrious history in the Military, they've never actually achieved any Noble Titles.

Lord Matthew agreed with my suggestion that it most likely was due to the former Lords Of Paradise not wanting the people of Paradise to have a preferred alternative to petition the Royal Family to replace them with. After agreeing with me, Ruby quickly stopped Matthew from thinking about granting Noble Titles to the Flameskins and Iceskins that had achieved Accolades in the Military.

His reasoning being that the People of Paradise should always be able to have an alternative option in case he commits an unforgivable mistake. They began to argue about it, eventually Ruby won the momentum of the argument by threatening to survey the People of Paradise and allowing them to complain directly to him about his choices. Matthew relented his idea once he heard the opinions of Ellie and Janet who were passing by while on the way to speak to Jim.

Ellie began to tear up while asking if he was going to abandon everyone and Janet just stared at him with a look that seemed to say, "why are you making My Daughter cry?" Moving on from that amusing memory, I decided to keep the conversation flowing, seeing as we really had nothing to do right now besides talk to each other." Yes, they thought the jobs were a waste of resources, but he's steadfast in that, having Safety Protocols is something that should be a normal part of producing products.

The only issue was finding people who wanted to do the job."" Thankfully, your group had some leftovers."" I wonder if that hurt the reputation of the job, though?"" Meh, I don't think so, most of the time, I just hear people grumbling about their Shops not being up to their code. I think it's more that Shopkeepers had to change how they ran their Businesses after so long, then someone would point out that it was Lord Matthew's own standards that even he was following strictly and they seemed to relent."

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel." Well, now they can finally use their job and ability to make something fun happen, is it any wonder why they're so excited?" Ruby and I were going back and forth in a conversation as we sat and observed the Builders, and the Health and Safety Team do their jobs.

While the Builders worked on the building, the Safety Team were collecting samples and using Magic Devices along with captured Bird-type Monsters to test different aspects of the pools of hot spring water. This is pretty much how we've been spending our days after I finish my assigned paperwork in the morning. Since the building was being made with my design, along with advice from the Construction Captains, we've finally begun to create something resembling a Hot Spring Inn that I've seen in Promethia.

Granted it was mixed with the design taste of Diablos, but I think it's beginning to look good." Hard to believe this all happened in a few days, this would've taken weeks to get to this point a year ago... Wait, would we even have found the spring? Probably not... Lord Matthew was the one to say we should start digging over here for metal and jewels, right?"" It's not just Lord Matthew, it's also that everyone is giving their honest effort to do it...

Granted, it's in the hope that Lord Matthew will praise them, but still, their mindset is important."" I agree, mindset is important, Ms. Emily." Prince Delcan and Princess Charlotte had joined us after enjoying their lunch. It seems Princess Charlotte heard the tail end of our conversation and smiled at Ruby and I as she added her own thoughts to the subject.

"Speaking of mindset, I've done all of this work without a reward really, haven't I?" Prince Delcan placed his hand to his chin as he spoke. I think I can tell where this is going from the stare, he's giving the door that was just freshly cut out of the wall." Why not let me have the first bath when everything is done?"" Why should you have that, Del? If anything, these Workers are putting in more work than you. You just cast a little Spell twice a day and then you walked back and took naps.""

How about you look at the size of those walls before you tell me that the Spells were little, Char?"" They weren't too taxing to form considering how energetically you attacked the ice cream after you woke up from your nap!" The siblings were beginning to have an argument, it seems without Matthew around to occupy their thoughts, they're beginning to act like regular siblings. Usually, this wouldn't be an issue, but the Builders and the Health and Safety Team have stopped working and began to watch the siblings.

I could tell from their eyes that they were scared about what to do if a Foreign Prince and Foreign Princess began to have an argument that escalated to a fight. I decided to step in." You can use the hot springs first, Prince Delcan. Princess Charlotte, if you'd like, you can be the first person to use the women's bath as well."" I-I don't need to use the bath first! I didn't even help!"" Ah, who cares! Tell you what Cha- Princess Charlotte, I'll go in with you! So, you don't fill as guilty!""

If that's the case, why don't we just invite the women of the mansion to take a dip?"" Wait! That makes me look selfish, doesn't it?"" So, you are self-aware?"" What was that, Ms.

"I'm just going to work under him and hope"!?"" If you want to fight, just say you want to fight!"" Now, now, Prince Delcan, if that's how you feel, I'll just pass the message to the Teams that they all can share a dip with you once the springs are finished." Prince Delcan thought about my proposal for a moment, no doubt not realizing if he needs to think about letting the Teams join him, Princess Charlotte's claim of being "selfish" isn't too far off the mark.

Regardless, I would never say this of course and neither would anyone else except for another member of the Nyx Royal Family. With such a thought in my mind and Princess Charlotte currently losing a battle against Ruby's enthusiasm about us all taking a bath together, Ruby decided to break the silence that had built up. No doubt getting somewhat impatient about the bath." Ah, but it would be so nice, we've all been so disjointed with the Drake Family leaving for Zana, we should all take this time to bond a bit!

After all, this is where you're going to work from now on, Princess Charlotte."" Char..."" Huh? What's the matter?"" If I'm really just going to be working here from now on, you shouldn't have to refer to me by my Official Title then! Just call me "Charlotte"." Ruby smiled brightly at Princess... At Charlotte. It's hard not to, considering how hard she's blushing right now, it's incredibly cute. I almost want to tell her tha-" You know, Char.

If you show that face to Matthew, you'd probably be able to appeal a lot more than just trying to guard his City's Walls." Prince Delcan, without worrying about his tact when it came to dealing with his sister, bluntly said what no doubt Ruby and I were thinking. This made Charlotte squat down to try and hide her face. I felt a strange jealousy form as I realized that one of my Rivals could be this cute and endearing.
