The very next day, Free was in his room designing his hot spring for Hinata, as he made a public room about 15m in all sides adding space for soaps and other things, then he make a place for men and womens, and all that too for space was 50m including the room to keep clothes, he added another room for staff which was 9m in all sides, then he also added a private room for his family, a private bath. Another room for other things and all the space it took was over 70m.
"All done" he lean in his chair, the metal ball in his bed shine brightly as the sun rays lands on it, looking elegant and beautiful. Free's eye landed on it, he then thought for a moment as if forgetting something, very important. 'Am i forgetting something?' he thought deeply, then he sighed tiredly, then he remembered something he used to remember things in his previous life when he forgets something due to stress, he turn to the ball in his bed. 'The ball is elegant as the sun shines, beauty itself is in it, it looks expensive looking like only rich people can afford it....?...Rich? Elegant? Beauty? Nobles!!!' Free finally remembered what Marin said, when they were discussing about ramen weeks ago.
Nobles won't approach commoners thing but if something that isn't food exist, they won't sit quietly. Free finally remembered, he looks at his design again and then he crush it in his hands, throws it away and starts to draw another one.
It was afternoon, he was still in his room, the design in his desk half complete. It was easy for commoners but not for nobles who demand elegance and luxury, he stared at his design blankly, even the room for commoners look dull, something was still missing. Hinata, Elina and Hina enter inside his room Elina was holding a try of soup and fried potatoes, they approach him and peek at Free's design.
"It looks dull....." Hinata said, staring at the design with a unhappy face, Elina and Hina agreed.
"Papa is not good at it" Hina said, and that hit Free right in his ego, he stands up and hand them pen and paper.
"If you think so, try it yourself" he said, face slightly twitching.
"Why should we?" Hina said, turning away and all three of them were kicked out from the room. Inside Free massaged his forehead and thought of a good design.
Time pass into hours and the soup was cold, Free hadn't touch it. Too focused, he draws each of the rooms for male and female line by line, erasing it when it doesn't match his expectations. 'Aaaaagggggghhh!!!' he falls face first, tired of the head scratching and paper wasting, he fall asleep.
The sun was starting to set, someone on his door knocked. "Free are you in?" It was Sylvia, she knocked at the door gently again and Free woke up from his nap and look around.
"Wh- yeah come in!" Sylvia came in and she got a little shrprised by the paper in the floor and bed even in the documents.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Garbage. My garbage design for the hot springs" he answered, she looks around and starts to pick the paoer up from the floor and threw them in the trash box.
"You're having a hard time" she said, sitting in his bed and peeking at the paper in his desk.
"Yeah...." he mutters, tapping his fingers in the desk. "I want to complete it quickly and open it".
Sylvia got up and stares at the paper, she checks the room and baths, then at the two section one was for noble the other was for commoners, she take the pen from Free's desk and starts to draw some animals looking monsters.
"why dob't we just add monsters head design in it, nobles see those as a symbol of strength, and for commoners just add some bueatiful paintings!" she suggested, Free glance at her designs intently then his rye lit up.
"Wait....that's kinda genius" he mutter, then added some drawings and some shining like things. "Yes that's it!" Free yelled, Sylvia clapped happily, happy for him.
"Let's make a good hot spring for everyone!" she cheered and downstairs, Lina who was cooking dinner look up.
"Lord Free is working hard" she smiled and added salt to the meat cooked with potato and carrot.
The next day, Free was in his room as always, his design was finished. Looking good, with sparkling plates and a monster'shead carved from wood, he stretch his body lazily and took out a chest from under his bed, it has spells in it that can explode anytime if someone other than him tried messing with it. He opens the chest and it was filled with gold and silver coins, his money.
"Let's see...." he counted the sum of gold coins and silvers and they were more than 50 gold coins and below 40 silvers which was more than enough for him to build the hot spring.
"Lord Free! Breakfast is ready!" Lina yelled from dow stairs, Free came out of his room after putting the chest back under his bedroom.
Downstairs in the dining table, everyone were eating their food, Hinata and Hina were gulping their food as if they didn't ate in decades. Free calmly ate his breakfast, thinking about workers and a land for the hot spring's spot.
"What's wrong lord Free?" Lina asked, noticing him not paying attention to his food. Free turns to her.
"I was just thinking of a land to make the hot spring" everyone paused, even Hina and Hinata heads turns to Free.
"Does that Mean you have complete your drawing!" Hinata shouted, jumping from her chair.
"Yeah i have and it is called a design not drawing" he corrected.
"Also have you thought of workers there are many in the village, and materials can be get from another village" Lina said, taking a sip of her tea, Free tilts his head, he had thought of a place for good materials and workers but how much their pay will be he didn't thought about it.
"How much should i pay for each worker?" he asked.
"1 silver" Lina answered, unfazed by his question. "And for land, you can buy the one in the village's west, hasn't been used for years, it only cost around 7 gold coins".
"Y-yeah that one. You're quite good at it...." Free complimented but she ignored it, a little. "Okay! I'll visit the other village in the afternoon".
