[Renovation & Tasks Added] The Dual Sword-Wielder and the Hot Springs Demon (+25000 Satisfaction)

Chaldeans, we now have enough materials to reopen the hot springs, chirp. Would you care to try your hand at them?

Oho. Hot springs, you say? That was among our original plans.

Right... We did originally come here to rest and relax in hot springs...

But they've been closed all this time, so we've never gotten to see what they look like...

What is the situation like there, Mr. Sparrow?

They're destroyed. It's a horrible sight to see, chirp. They've never been the same...

...after a wicked monster became intoxicated on alcohol, handsome men, and beautiful women, and started causing all sorts of havoc, chirp.

It took Madam Beni, chirp, as well as the entire Sparrow Squad to chase the monster away.

But it left nursing a powerful grudge, and its residual thoughts linger there as an evil force, refusing to let anyone else use the springs, chirp.

That sounds like a curse! No wonder you've kept them closed then!

No one could relax and enjoy a germanium bath with something like that around!

But I think you Chaldeans can defeat it, chirp. Please, help us get our hot springs back!

What would you have us do, Senpai...?

The hot springs do sound fantastic, but apparitions of leftover thoughts can be quite difficult...

The hot springs, huh. I thought as much. Very well, I'll help with the repairs, too.

Fionn mac Cumhaill... 　　　　(Gazing up at him like an adoring schoolboy)

Fou. (Special Translation: Why're you acting like you've never seen him before?)

Heh. At last, the time has come to resolve this problem once and for all. Don't you agree, Master?

Surely you wish to see Mash in a yukata fresh out of the bath just as much as I do, no?

Hm? Worried about peeping? Of course, I would never do anything so crass.

Not when I get to watch over two beautiful yukata-clad girls.

？！

Oh? You're all going to the hot springs? ...Hmm. I can't say that's a good idea.

That monster is beyond your ability to defeat. Or perhaps I should say, to appease.

After all, hoho, such residual thoughts will never be satisfied and disappear unless it fights an opponent stronger than itself.

I fail to see the problem. Defeating it will surely be more than enough proof that we are stronger, no?

I'm afraid it's not that simple. This particular force is very, well, particular, you see.

It refuses to accept defeat unless its opponent is of the same class and uses the same weapon as it does. Otherwise, it will just say things like...

"So what if I lost! You just got lucky with your class advantage! Doesn't bother me ooone bit!"

"I'm not going anywhere until I see some superhot men and women in these springs! I'll keep coming back as many times as it takes!"

"Nooo! I wanna stay heeere! I don't wanna go back to dumb old realityyy!"

Hohoho, Madam Beni was no match for this swordswoman's stubbornness. Wonder what she's up to nowadays.

A swordswoman who only wants to fight opponents with the same class and weapon... That sounds like...

？！

Where are the handsome boyyys... Where are the beautiful girrrls!?!?

What an incredibly powerful aura! I understand what Eastern swordsmen say about "sword ki" now!

It feels strangely familiar, and also like much of it is being wasted!

Nonetheless, this opponent is more than worthy. Mere apparition or not, I may never again get the chance to fight such a skilled dual-wielder!

Have at you then, nameless wicked monster! This hellish landscape shall be your gravestone!

Hellish? I think you mean paradisiacal! Now come on! All of you, clothes off...NOW!

Your dual-wielding style is defeated!

Gaaah! So close! You're very pretty, but if only you were a few years younger...!

？！

Huh!?

Khh... I was careless... I can't believe she stripped me of both my armor...and my Spirit Origin...

It seems our dual-wielding skills...were equally...matched...

I guess I didn't need to be here after all... Well, at least the hot springs are open again.

We did it, Senpai! We can finally use the hot springs now!

Oh... But first, we need to get Diarmuid to the break room!

Please, don't mind me... You two just...enjoy yourselves...

Absolutely not!

Hang in there, Diarmuid! I'll carry you out of here as quickly as I can!

Ooh, what's this!? Do my eyes deceive me, or are the hot springs finally open again!?

You mean you guys took out that fallen nioh!? Nooo waaay!

Why, this is just the best news I've heard all week! Come on, Gordy-poo, have a drink with me!

There's nothing like having a glass of wine in a hot spring, you know!

Oh yes, I've heard of that! It typically involves drinking in the bath while gazing up at the moon, yes?

Hmm. All that aside, I wonder why this snake-man has taken such a liking to me?
