It's just... I heard we'll have more and more operators coming back from their field missions over the next few days. I'm sure everyone wants to try out the new bath, so I figured the water usage would shoot up in the short term.

That's why I...

It's not a problem, Purestream. The thing you found jamming the waterway proves you made the right call.

If there were a surge of water volume, the high water pressure could also flush any loose parts. If any were to get caught in the narrower pipes and cause grime to accumulate, it could lead to serious issues down the line.

Right, right! Back when I cleaned the river back home, we had situations like this plenty of times!

You can't ignore even the slightest abnormality in the river. If you get a multi-day rain—

Even the tiniest thing could unleash its mighty powers~

Phew—The bath's so great! Now both the waterways and my body are sparkling clean~

Taking a bath after work is the best!

Purestream... I'm a little curious.

How exactly did you fall asleep in that pool with the water currents?

It gets pretty rocky in there, doesn't it? I tried it out for a little bit, but felt so dizzy—

Huh? No way... It felt so good in there! Weedy spent a lot of time experimenting in order to recreate how an actual river moves!

Just soaking in it reminds me of the Wuwu back home.

It's a good thing we still have time. Not only did I finish my work, I got to clean myself up in the new bath, too!

But if you're looking forward to going home so much, didn't it cross your mind that you could miss your ride? You might not have made it home before the rafting team takes on the Wuwu River!

Hmm... it did cross my mind, actually.

It'd be a shame if I missed the rafting team, but the villagers are bound to have lots of pictures to show me!

But I also wouldn't be able to go home with a carefree heart if I didn't check the landship's waterways before I left.

Each waterway is like a natural river to me. Even though it's in the ship right now, the water will return to nature at some point, no?

Even though Rhodes Island's water quality and wastewater disposal both exceed standards because of how strict Weedy is, it's always best to investigate as soon as you find something.

I mean, 'dirty stuff' tends to accumulate~

Besides...

When everyone's back from their field missions, they won't have to worry about having no water or dirty water. They'll get to soak in a hot bath without a thing on their minds. That's what my work means to me~

Purestream...

I think...

Oh... Looks like the car is here. Off I go now!

Thanks, Mul, for all the huge pears~! The villagers will love them!

Yep! Have a nice trip! I look forward to seeing you and the rafting team in the same picture in the newspaper!

Huh? Th-That's not going to happen! You'll probably only see the Wuwu River...

But if I make it home before the rafting challenge begins, maybe I can still help everyone clean up the river first!

Hehe, I sure hope I'll be able to help the rafting team!

You're on vacation; get some rest!

Got it, Mul~

I'll bring you some of my hometown specialties, too!

See you later~

*sigh*

There she goes...

I don't think she realizes just how extraordinary what she's doing is.

It's no less noble than the rafting team, or the researchers.

I'll tell her that directly when she gets back!

But... when is she coming back again?
