We visited the workshop again to ask the workshop master for help, but he looked troubled.
The workshop master placed his hand on his chin, deep in thought.
“Hmm… This sounds interesting, and I’m excited, but I think we’ll need the opinion of an expert on this matter.”
“I thought so…”
I dropped my shoulders after hearing the workshop master’s opinion. It wasn’t the best idea… but I didn’t think it was bad either. What should I do?
While I was pondering over this, the workshop master came up with a solution.
“I know some people who specialize in architecture. Should I introduce you to them?”
“Really?”
I asked for confirmation, and the workshop master nodded.
“They’re craftsmen I used to work with when I was in the Count’s domain. If it’s a short-term request and not a permanent move, I think the Count would grant permission.”
“Ah…”
Of course! These kinds of specialized technicians are definitely hired by nobles!
If my father is involved, he must have connections!
I gave a glance to the knights standing behind me, signaling them as if to say, “Why didn’t you notice this?”
They seemed to be looking at something far off in the distance.
Hey! They’re trying to shift the responsibility onto me! Well, it is my job to take responsibility, but still!
“Umm… So, should I have the Count contacted and send letters to the craftsmen here?”
The workshop master, who had been watching everything, seemed a bit confused.
“Sorry, but please do that.”
It seems like we’re getting closer to a solution regarding the designer for the hot spring.
Ah, and I still need to give a more detailed explanation.
“We’ll go with the designer as planned, and for the materials, it’ll be the Gold Sheep Trading Company. As for the staff, I’ll leave that to the people in the workshop.”
“Ah, I see. Indeed, they’ll be happy to have a place to show off their skills.”
I’ll have them start working right away.
If they feel guilty about the expense, assigning them work will probably distract them from it.
“By the way, I have a small question…”
“What is it?”
I approached the workshop master and lowered my voice as much as I could.
“Is it possible to build the hot spring facility out of wood?”
I’m not sure if we have cypress, but I’ve always dreamed of a wooden hot spring, right?
Since this world is closer to Europe, hot springs are generally made of stone. The castle baths in the capital I live in are also stone.
“Hmm… There’s the issue of choosing the right wood, and the strength of the design is also a concern. Well, I’m not an expert in this field, so I’ll have to check with my acquaintances about this.”
The workshop master crossed his arms and looked troubled.
Well, I don’t want it to rot or anything… I guess we’ll have to wait for the technicians to come and consult with them.
“I see. If it doesn’t work, it can’t be helped. I’ll contact them, so I’m counting on you too, workshop master.”
“Yes, of course.”
I’m really sorry about this… I’ve been giving you so much work.
I’ll let you rest someday. Eventually.
