Chapter 223: Mira Explains the Possibilities of Water (1)

Leave a comment

Surely enough, Mira’s evangelization about summoners was quickly having an effect.

?There’s a lot of dungeons without water, but they go on endlessly and they have really good loot in the deepest parts. That would definitely come in handy.?

?Yeah, the quantity of water we could transport has always been directly proportional to how long we can be in there for after all. But with a summoner it’ll be much easier…?

Many adventurers quickly realized the effects easy access to water would have in their line of work, making them discuss just how much it would expand their reach in dungeons.

Players did not need any food or water in the game days, so it was easy for them to go deep into dungeons and obtain rare materials. But now that this was reality, the number of former players had diminished, and they all were far more cautious with what they did, so while they would still go to dungeons to obtain items to sell, they would not go nowhere near as deep as before.

The reason was not exactly their difficulty, but the environment. Many adventurers had the skills to fight off the monsters deeper inside dungeons, but they still required sustenance, which was like a ticking time bomb forcing them to leave after a certain time. They had to calculate the food and water they needed to go inside, and to get out.

With that time limit in place, the amount of items they could obtain also decreased. While it was still possible to plan for a long trip deep into a dungeon to obtain more expensive items, usually it was not very time efficient, and going to a more easily accessible location and farming more materials would earn them more money.

In other words, rather than spending half a month to get loot that could be sold for a million Rils, it was better to spend one day in a safer location and farming a pile that could be sold for a hundred thousand Rils.

But what Mira had just shown them would essentially multiply their earnings across half a month many times over.

?In that case…if we find a summoner who can summon a water spirit…maybe we could even go to the depths of the Rothlyt Ruins??

?Yeah, and we’d be able to stay there for as long as we want. If we switch the load of water for food, we might even get to stay there for a month.?

A group of adventurers began discussing that among themselves. The Rothlyt Ruins were a dungeon surrounded by many mountains, without any source of water nearby, making it famous for being so difficult to get deep inside.

But with a summoner, that issue would be completely solved. They could just move on without worrying about water, and could stock up on food instead. Having a summoner would ease the burden of having to carry so many supplies.

Them, and all the other adventurers in the crowd, were already dreaming of just how much more they would be able to earn that way.

Seeing that, Mira decided to tell them that water spirits could do a lot more than that.

?There are other uses for water though, especially for things that are heavily restricted within dungeons.?

Mira grinned smugly as she looked at the adventurers in the crowd. They had already been mesmerized by the possibilities of water spirits earlier, so they were eagerly waiting to see what she would say next.

Some of the adventurers seemed to have an idea of what Mira was talking about, looking at her more intently. Most of them happened to be female too.

?This here, I’m sure all of you know of it as it’s sold by all Dinowal Stores.?

Once Mira felt like she had gathered enough attention, she took out a bag from her Item Box. It was the magic washing bag that worked just by pouring water into it.

That device was ubiquitous enough that all the adventurers quickly understood what she was getting at. Their eyes lit up and they began to discuss that possibility amongst themselves again. Many of the females and a few males were excited about that as well. Those were likely the adventurers who valued cleanliness.

?I knew you’d recognize it. And yes, with the help of a water spirit, you can also wash clothes wherever you are!?

Saying that, and wanting to give a bit of a demonstration, Mira took out the underwear she had worn the day before and put it inside the bag. Then turned around and let Undine fill the bag with water.

After flipping the switch, the bag began operation.

?Depending on your mana capacity, you could even do it daily, and you’ll never have to worry about wearing dirty clothes again!?

Mira raised the washing bag which made sloshing sounds as she announced loudly.

That was very positively received by many adventurers. It seemed like there was quite a large group that heavily disliked the smell that came from wearing the same clothes for a long time, and now they were looking at Undine with starry eyes.

(Good good, it’s all going according to plan. Now, time for the main event!)

Seeing that pleased Mira, as she had one more addition hidden under her sleeve. If cleaning clothes was possible, then it made sense that other things could also be cleaned like that.

?Wait, do you mean..!?

?Ohh…I wonder what it is!?

Overcome with excitement, two female adventurers spoke, filled with anticipation for the last thing Mira would bring up, hoping their guess was right.

It was something even more luxurious than being able to wash clothes inside a dungeon, brought forth by the ease with which water spirits could create water.

?We’ll also get to wash ourselves, right! That’s incredible!?

One of the adventurers could not contain herself anymore and exclaimed that. Soon many other cheers of joy came from other adventurers.

?We won’t have to keep buying Sanitary Towel Paper anymore too! Amazing!?

?I see, so we’ll be able to free up the space used by those things, that’s nice.?

Sanitary Towel Paper was something various adventurers refused to live without, and always took a portion of their baggage. While it was a rather compact item, it was also disposable leading to it becoming bulky when preparing for long trips.

There were some adventurers who had no sense of hygiene and never understood why others insisted on carrying that though. But even they were interested in what Mira said, as it would help lighten their carry load too.

?That’s precisely it. As long as you have a summoner with a water spirit contracted and enough mana, you can take showers anywhere and as many times as you want!?

Seeing how impressed everyone already was, she spoke while puffing her chest with pride. She looked almost like a politician making a public speech.

The Dinowal Store had innovated a lot to help adventurers with keeping fresh while working, but all of those items and devices still required baggage space. But a water spirit could make all of that obsolete, and there was no better item than water to clean things.

?You can even take showers?!?

?That’s even more than I expected!!?

Even though the crowd was already hyped up, when they heard what Mira said, they sounded even more impressed. They had not expected full on showers being possible.

The most they had expected was having a bucket with water that they could use to wipe and clean their bodies.

That alone had been enough to get them excited, and they considered it a luxury. But now Mira had told them showers were possible, something that required a lot of running water, and could be considered a sin in a place with no natural water sources. Not to mention that having water drizzle from a high point was not easy to achieve in the first place.¹

1. Silva: Are you sure you want to keep going, Mira? I’m not sure your run-of-the-mill summoner can achieve all that. You might be setting the expectations too high…
