Background
In E-Rantel, which has overcome the shock of the disaster and is proceeding with reconstruction. Healing the mind and body of the people of the city is an urgent issue. People set out to the Azerlisia Mountains, seeking clues to a solution at a "bathhouse" said to be located in the country of mountain dwarfs.——-

Incident
Sebas is standing guard the hallway of the mayor's mansion whilst the protagonist works in his office. The undercover miner, notes that the homunculus is getting acclimated back into his duties and seems happy. Though Sebas thinks to himself that things are not going to be like they were before. Sebas who is now acting as an escort to the protagonist finds the measure unnecessary and believes that his comrade is taking things too seriously.

Soi approaches in the hallway, commenting that Sebas and the protagonist had returned from their tour of the city. Their tour was composed of visiting the Adventurer's Guild, Pharmacist's Guild, and even the Temple with members of the Sunlight Scripture acting as intermediaries. The news of the duo visiting those three places comes as a surprise to Soi. Since she can recall that she and the protagonist already had a lot of interaction, yesterday and the day before.

Today's consultation was about expanding the functionality of the treatment facility and the protagonist was following up on conversations from earlier. Considering the current situation in this city, this is a situation that needs to be dealt with urgently. From what Seba knows, the treatment activities are underway to address the increasing number of injured people due to the series of disasters. While the number of injured people is increasing, the facilities to accommodate them are becoming full.

Soi argues that even if they were to increase the number of detention facilities, they would need to secure space for it and it’s not something that can be done overnight. Sebas recalls correctly, that their comrade  spoke to Clementine about wanting to do his best to help her. Still there is an absolute lack of supplies and treatment options. That was the only topic they talked about. Repairs to buildings seem to be progressing more than smoothly, but when it comes to humans, it's not as simple as fixing them and being done with them. Though Sebas finds the situation regrettable for the humans, Soi cannot understand his empathy towards them. So her concern goes to the protagonist who has been running around trying to do something. Last time Soi had visited the Temple with the protagonist, he had been negotiating with the priests there about whether or not they could request treatment using high-level magic without cost.

The protagonist and Surako soon emerge from the room intent to head out to another location. He and his friends then go to Tsuibayaya's workshop to pick up their weapons. The dwarf's work is greatly appreciative by the protagonist. Though Tsuibayaya say's its nothing as his service is covered by development costs for the swimsuits and material from the Sorcerer Kingdom which he praises in being able to not just supply funds but also resource for his work.

The dwarf notices the protagonist's tired looked and questions what is wrong since he expected his patron to be happy since the city is being rebuilt on schedule. Especially after the "cleansing" the other time produced the right motivating effect. Tsuibayaya asks about Clementine, which is a bit unusual for the swimsuit fanatic to be interested, but the homunculus informs his friend that the saint is doing her best to help the city, even though the city's repairs are progressing, the same cannot be said that the injured people are being adequately treated. This includes people who have non life-threatening illnesses, besides suffering from the body but the mind.

Though such traumatic injuries can't be helped by going to the temple and paying healing magic. And while details may depend on negotiation, it would be bad to incur more debt than necessary. Hence why the protagonist reached out to the Pharmacist's Guild to research on treatments using medicinal herbs. However the problem is not just the trauma.

Tsuibayaya thinks aloud about if he were feeling unwell he would just take a bath, drink some alcohol, and sleep to recover quickly. When his comment causes the protagonist to be perplexed, the dwarf elaborates that there is a big bathhouse in the Dwarf Kingdom where he used to live. After work, going there for a bath and alcohol was a special time that helped him refresh.

Hearing the dwarf talk about bathhouses makes the protagonist realize that "hot spring therapy: is the answer to helping the people recover from the shock of life-threatening situations or trauma from losing loved ones.
