The Saint's Slow Life in the Mountains: I Was Summoned as a Saint, but Declared a Fake and Abandoned in the Snowy Mountains—Now I’m Living Comfortably Thanks to My Cheat Skill, “Internet,” and Divine Power. It's Too Late for Them to Realize I’m the True Saint Now - 013

Accompanied by the useless goddess, Felmaa (and her baby Fenrirs), we ventured into the forest to investigate the surroundings.

A hot spring… It’s been a while since I’ve been in one.

There was a super bathhouse nearby, but I never went after I started working.

There are volcanoes in this world too, so there should be hot springs. But, because I worked at the Black Court, I never had the chance to go.

Thinking about hot springs made me really want to take a dip.

“A useless goddess, you can even create a hot spring?”

“Wa-ha-ha! When it comes to me, creating a hot spring is no big deal!”

…So, we arrived at the place where the water was gushing out.

“Is this… really a hot spring?”

“…It looks more like a dirty puddle,” Felmaa and I muttered.

In front of us, there was just a spot where water was bubbling up. The ground was all exposed dirt, so the area around the spring was soaked.

Of course, there was no bath. And since there was no privacy screen, it was completely visible from the outside.

“Are you telling the great Saintess to bathe in such a filthy place…?”

“Eek! I’m so sorry! You’re right, it’s just a puddle of water!”

Under Felmaa’s glare, the useless goddess bowed her head repeatedly. It seemed that Felmaa’s opinion of the goddess had dropped quite a bit.

“Hey, useless goddess. Can’t you do something about this?”

“I’m sorry… this is the best I can do. Gods aren’t allowed to interfere directly in the human world…”

“But didn’t you bring me the Skill Orb? And you keep visiting me.”

“Lady Mika isn’t human, she’s a messenger of the gods, so that doesn’t count.”

It seemed that gods were allowed to interfere with me under the rules. But directly influencing this world was forbidden.

“I could manipulate luck to place the geyser conveniently next to a leyline at best… I’m really sorry!”

“So, you provided the hot spring source but couldn’t prepare the actual facilities…”

The useless goddess drooped her shoulders in shame.

“What are you doing, you good-for-nothing?”

“Yes… I’m just a useless goddess… sniff…”

Felmaa was being harsh to the goddess.

“Hmm, what should I do now?”

By this point, I was completely set on soaking in a hot spring.

Sure, there was a bath inside the log house, but I wanted to experience an outdoor hot spring. Taking a bath in the great outdoors must feel amazing.

“Should we hire someone to build it?”

“I don’t want to interact too much with the people of this world.”

I have a ridiculously powerful divine skill: the Omniscient and Omnipotent Internet.

If anyone found out about this overwhelming power, bad people would certainly try to monopolize it. I didn’t want that. I just wanted to live peacefully and freely.

“No choice, I’ll have to build the hot spring myself.”

I pulled out my smartphone.

“Let’s search ‘how to build a hot spring’…”

I used the Omniscient and Omnipotent Internet, which had evolved into a divine skill without me noticing.

“Found it. How to build a hot spring.”

“The internet… it truly is a magical book that contains everything,” Felmaa nodded in admiration.

“No, it’s not exactly the internet, it’s the Omniscient and Omnipotent Internet skill with all the information stored in it…”

The guide on how to set up the facilities and drainage was quite detailed. Very detailed… but…

“Reading this is such a hassle, and building it seems like even more of a pain…”

Just then…

“……” tap, tap.

Before I knew it, one of the Tomato familiars had climbed onto my shoulder.

“Tomato-kun? What is it?”

“……” nod!

“Ah! I get it… I can have the familiars do it for me.”

“……” nodding vigorously!

I realized I could just search for the information using the Omniscient and Omnipotent Internet, then leave the actual work to my familiars.

The useless goddess tilted her head.

“But aren’t familiars small? Wouldn’t construction take a long time?”

“That’s where creativity comes in.”

I opened the divine app, *Let’s Become Familiars*.

“Tomato-kun, can you call some stronger familiars for me?”

“……” salute!

Tomato-kun hopped off my shoulder and disappeared somewhere.

Tomato’s familiars returned with a sweet potato and potato familiar.

Just like Tomato-kun, these familiars were made from vegetables. A sweet potato-headed familiar and a potato-headed familiar.

I named each of them using *Let’s Become Familiars*.

“Sweet Potato-kun, I’ll name you *Construction Leader Satsuma-kun*.”

“……” salute!

“Potato-kun, I’ll name you *Pioneer Leader Danshaku-kun*.”

“……” bowing slightly.

“And lastly, Tomato-kun, you’ll be *Chief Tomato-kun*.”

“……” firm nod!

I gave each of the three familiars a new name along with their roles.

Suddenly, their bodies glowed brightly.

“Let’s see… analyze…”

～～～～～～

– Construction Leader Satsuma-kun

*Species*: Advanced Familiar

*Skill*: Construction (Highest level)

～～～～～～

“!? Skills have been granted! And their species evolved from familiar to advanced familiar…!”

The useless goddess was shocked.

“I knew from testing that naming them through *Let’s Become Familiars* could give them magical abilities. I figured it might work on the vegetable familiars too.”

Satsuma-kun gained construction skills, Danshaku-kun gained pioneer skills, and Tomato-kun gained leadership skills.

“Okay, everyone. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“……” salute!

Tomato-kun, now the leader, issued orders to the other familiars. More vegetable familiars appeared and scattered around to do their tasks.

Tomato-kun bought necessary materials from *Kami-zon* and distributed them and the workers accordingly.

Danshaku-kun cleared trees and dug drainage systems.

Satsuma-kun started construction on the leveled ground.

The work progressed at lightning speed.

And… one hour later.

“It’s amazing! Lady Saintess! What was just a dirty puddle an hour ago is now a magnificent outdoor bath!”

“Meow!” “Mew!” “……!”

The Fenrirs’ eyes sparkled as they wagged their tails excitedly.

The murky pond that had been in the middle of the forest was now gone. In its place stood a luxurious outdoor hot spring, comparable to those at high-class inns.

There was even a changing room and privacy screen. The floor was laid with waterproof stone tiles, and a proper bath was installed.

“This… is beyond words… I never thought you’d master the Omniscient and Omnipotent skill so quickly…”

“Using it a little, I’ve come to understand Omniscience and Omnipotence.”

Omniscience is the ability to gather information using the internet. Omnipotence is the ability to grant familiars the power to execute those tasks.

Yes… the Omniscient and Omnipotent Internet is quite handy.

“To think that such a grand bath could be built in such a short time! You truly are extraordinary, Lady Saintess!”

“Well, let’s all enjoy the bath.”

“Yes!” “Meow!” “Mew!” “……!”

The useless goddess slumped down on the spot.

“What should I do… A human has completely mastered godly powers. If the higher gods find out… this could be bad…”

“Useless goddess, aren’t you going to join us in the bath?”

“Ah, who cares! As a great man once said, ‘If you don’t get caught, it’s not cheating!’ If no one finds out, it’ll be fine!”

…Well, since I wasn’t the one who’d get scolded if we were found out, I didn’t say anything.
