The morning after my father arrived on the island, the kingdom's men were boarding a ship for their return.
When she said goodbye, Riena told her father and Balpas.
"You can take it slower."
"No, we have something to do."
Balpas, who answered, was desperately distracted from something.
Maybe you don't want to look at me and Macha waving behind Riena as much as possible.
But more than that, the prophecy must be responsible for my father's desire to return to the continent as soon as possible.
The world will end eventually. And the prophecy that only Sheol will be saved.....
It is hard to believe, but it is true that I will reign with the [Cave King].
As king of a nation, you want to prepare for disaster just in case.
I'll tell my father.
"If there's anything I can do... it will help the people of the Kingdom."
"Let me rely on that word. I'll send the ambassador after you. Pick someone else."
"I see. As much as possible, it would be preferable to have an understanding of the current state of the island."
"Leave it to me. Bye bye."
That said, Balpas tried to return to the ship. My father also tries to follow it.
But then Riena called out to her father.
"Your Majesty, as I asked you yesterday,"
After seeing me yesterday, Riena was talking to her father.
He must have asked something.
Father answers.
"Again and again, my heel and I are no longer equal monarchs. I'm not involved with heels."
"But... I'm still your father."
"... then, it's Riena. What will you do if I disagree?
Well, that's...
"Will you not give up? Then you can't help but care about me."
Riena nodded with cockroach.
I don't know what you were talking about... but it doesn't seem like a big deal.
My father murmurs as if he were talking to himself.
"Well, I want to see my grandson's face too... Balpas, should I take him with me?
As Riena brightens her face, her father's gaze is directed towards Matcha, who waves at Balpas.
"No thanks....."
Barpus refused outright and tried to get on the boat with his father.
Eventually, however, he was forced to kiss from Macha and ran to the cabin to escape.
It was a Macha that I was about to follow, but Mappa managed to pull it back to the pier.
That's how the ship left Sheol.
I exhale relieved to see the ship disappear across the horizon.
"Ah... for now, you don't have to fight the kingdom."
"I'm really glad... I'm sure you both understand that Heel doesn't want to fight."
That's what Reena murmured next to me.
Then Barris says.
"I'm just worried about the prophecy. In the future, if the prophecy is true, the attitude of your father and kingdom will also be...."
If the kingdom suffers greatly, it may change its attitude toward us in the future.
That's not all. If something happens on a global scale, I don't know what happens with other countries.
"Barris is right. Let's keep it tight."
I've renewed my feelings... and I've decided to keep working in mining.
It's not just for me. If the end of the world is to come, we need to be prepared for it. Not only to help everyone on this island, but also to help those outside it.
Is that impossible?
No, Sheol alone can get away with it. In other words, if you turn around.....
─ ─ I'll keep digging, digging, digging.
I then took the picket and went underground.
