A Hospital in Another World?

The silver dragon flew and flew.

Garrett swung and swung below.

"Mage armor... Shield spell... Cold and heat resistance... Bubble spell... Achoo! Seraina, how much further do we have?"

"Not much further! The hot spring is very close!"

Garrett looked down at the mountain ranges and strings of pearl-like melting snow lakes below, and he couldn’t feel that the hot springs were anywhere near. —Speaking of which, as far as he could see, none of the mountaintops looked like a volcanic crater!

Miss, we’ve been flying for—Achoo!—almost an hour now, haven’t we? Does that mean we have another hour to go? Well, let’s just treat it as a preparatory experience for flying spells. The headwind is a bit strong; let’s add a 【Long-Distance Protection】and then a feather-falling spell...

Garrett was quite looking forward to the hot springs. Steaming geothermal hot springs! Soaking in the spring water, facing nature, with forests, snow mountains, and starry skies overhead—what a beautiful scene! While soaking, maybe a deer would come to the edge of the spring to drink, or monkeys might come down to join...

Uh, let’s not hope for that. Counting on Miss Silver Dragon’s dragon majesty, all beasts would retreat, not to compete with them for the pool.

Anyway, soaking in the hot springs and enjoying the beautiful scenery is very pleasant. Like the Hai Luo Gou Hot Springs, the Alps Snow Mountain Hot Springs, the Sapporo Hot Springs...

Sorry, can only see those in dreams. To actually go there to play, first, there’s no time, second, no money. As for the hot springs he had experienced himself...

In his previous life, thanks to the massive crowd, the hot springs he could soak in were mostly fake, meaning, large boilers heated the water, and then some herbal packets were added. What? Real hot springs?

Local classmates mysteriously said: "They are all enclosed, and we ordinary folks can’t soak in them..."

This time, the one Seraina brought him to, must be a real hot spring, right? He wondered how big the pool was, whether it was big enough for Miss Silver Dragon to splash around...

The silver dragon broke through the wind. Due to racial characteristics, silver dragons are more adapted to and prefer cold climates, naturally generating cold mist under their wings during daily activities. This time, however, Seraina flew very restrainedly, absorbing every wisp of cloud and mist into her mouth, not letting any touch Garrett.

She flew eastward and northward, skimming along the coastline. Below, the mountain peaks rose and fell. Though in the far north, warmed by the ocean currents and the moisture blown from the sea, the mountains were still covered in a layer of lush green. Occasionally, deer could be seen running in the fields, lowering their heads to nibble on the greenery.

Garrett looked down from the dragon’s claws, feeling the fresh breeze on his face, utterly different from looking at the earth from an airplane. He didn’t know how many mountain peaks they had flown over. Suddenly, on a distant mountaintop, a piece of bright mirror-like silver light appeared.

"We’re there!"

Seraina shouted against the wind. She suddenly accelerated, shooting forward like an arrow. The silver light grew closer, revealing a high mountain lake, quietly nestled in a circular mountain mouth. The water was as smooth as a mirror, with only a small island protruding in the center of the lake, like a colored gemstone in the middle of a jade plate, with white mist rising from the center of the island.

The water was as smooth as a mirror. From above, the blue sky reflected in the water, turning the entire lake blue.

Seraina rushed over excitedly. Approaching the shore, she released her claws, casting a feather-falling spell on Garrett. Then, with her wings spread, she glided along the surface of the lake for a while before diving into the center...

Garrett floated down shakily. As he floated, he watched from hundreds of meters away as a huge splash rose into the sky, as if a bomb had exploded in the water. Tiny droplets, carried by the mountain wind, actually reached him, wetting his cheeks.

Miss, your diving form is not good!

Such a big splash, you’re going to lose all your points!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

And, your so-called soaking in the hot springs, is it... this... so... big... a... lake?

Garrett muttered to himself as he floated to the shore. By the standards of a silver dragon, Miss Seraina could not be said to be inconsiderate. The place she put him down was near a flat large rock by the shore, which sloped gently into the lake. Garrett cautiously walked to the

water’s edge, rolled up his sleeves, and reached down to touch the lake water...

"Hey, it’s warm! Feels like it’s good for soaking!"

He quickly went behind the rock, changed into a swimsuit and slippers, and walked into the water. The lake water was clear, and he could easily see the sloping stone slope, which even had several grooves polished smooth by the water. The width and slope were just right for lying in them, with the head still above the water surface.

Garrett didn’t bother with how those grooves came to be, stretched out his limbs, and comfortably lay down. Feeling the warm water waves enveloping his body, he rested his head on the stone slope and let out a long, long sigh.

Ah, so comfortable.

Feels like I can have a good sleep... These days, I’ve been either treating people or studying magic, and I’ve been really stressed...

His eyelids gradually closed. His body relaxed, and he slightly floated, swaying with the water waves. After thinking for a moment, he threw out a living rope to tie himself to the shore, then let himself sink into sleep.

The lake is quite large, and it would take a silver dragon a long time to swim around... Let me sleep first... Huh...

He didn’t know how long he had slept when the water suddenly began to churn violently, and a wave directly splashed onto his face. Garrett woke up abruptly, opening his eyes to see a huge dragon head stretching in front of him:

"Garrett, wake up! Let’s go to the island in the center of the lake! It’s more fun over there!"

"...How do I get there?"

Garrett sat up in the groove, looking towards the small island in the center of the lake. The mist was thick, and the lake was like a mirror, making it unclear how far it was to the island. He wasn’t that he couldn’t swim, but swimming all the way there...

Would probably be exhausted halfway, right?

"Ah, I’ll carry you as we swim!" The dragon’s head dipped into the water. The huge wave rose again, and soon, the shiny back of the silver dragon appeared not far from the slope, shimmering faintly:

"Hurry up, get on my back! Hold on to me!"

"...You’re not going to fly there, right?" Garrett asked cautiously. He was soaking wet, and if Seraina took off flying, the cold wind would blow, setting him straight for a severe cold!

"Why would I fly! The lake water is warm, soaking in it is so comfortable! Hurry up!"

With a flick of her tail, countless splashes rose. Garrett tightened the space bag around his waist, dove into the water, and started paddling hard. Even though she was a young silver dragon, her body length was equivalent to half a standard pool. Garrett paddled seven or eight times before he finally got on the dragon’s back and grabbed onto the spines in the middle of her back.

"Hold on tight!" Seraina twisted her slender neck, looking back at him:

"Off we go! Yo—Ho!"

Splashes surged, and waves were cut through. Garrett held onto the dragon’s back spines, trying his best to stabilize his body, sticking his head out:

...This journey is too thrilling!
