The Cave King will live a Paradise Life -Becoming the strongest with the mining skill?-

"I'm so sorry! I made you feel uncomfortable!"

Princess Alissa of the Kingdom of Alancia bowed her head to us deeply.

"No, don't worry about it.The royals and nobles I know... there are so many of them.Instead, I managed to understand the state of the country. "

When I say it, Riena nods.

"Yes. Some people, such as royalty and nobility, are monopolizing nature and food..."

"Weapons are also of better quality than the soldiers on the walls.Everything is used in preference to this sanctuary.To maintain a luxurious life in the sanctuary. "

Alissa said the city has a population of 30,000.But at that time, 3,000 people tried to talk.I wonder if those 3,000 are the number of people in the sanctuary.

Alissa bites my lips into my words.

"It's embarrassing, but... you're right.That is the status quo of my Holy Nation, Alancia. "

Even if we don't change the status quo, there aren't many enemies in front of that defense.

Does it mean that the people have no choice but to spoil this state?

As I said before, I've seen nobles like Rurat.

But now the king who moves the country.....

"Does Alissa's father know about this?"

"In old age, the administration of the last few years has been handled by Grand Duke Billine, the father of Rurat.I haven't seen my father in over two years. "

What about Grand Duke Billine?

"I know... but inside and outside this sanctuary, it's the same country, not the same country.The people have no taxes to collect.That's why the royal nobles in the sanctuary think they don't need to help the outsiders. "

Alissa keeps looking at the sanctuary.

"This sanctuary is an ancient relic.It is the sacred land of our Alancía royal family and is an absolutely safe place to be attacked by any kind of disaster.If we don't increase the population as it is, we can live forever. "

In fact, I can see a magical reaction in the fence.Maybe there's some kind of defense in the fence.

I'll ask Alisa.

"So the outside city and the walls are decorations?"

That's what I'm talking about.

"Well... isn't it too much to say that Lurat lives in a different world?"

But can we live in that sanctuary forever?

Somehow, I felt like wearing the future cheol.

According to prophecy, Sheol escapes even at the end of the world.

If this prophecy may be true, we are trying to increase Sheol's territory.Trying to connect with the continent of Elt.

But if this prophecy is true, we don't know how far Sheol's people can escape.

If anything abnormal happens to the sea, the fish won't catch.When the sky is dark, the plants will wither.You may lose your food.

Maybe we'll need more measures for the coming day... and we'll learn from their wisdom.

"... but why did Alissa get out of there?If you're in there, so are you. "

Alissa looked at the city with a serious face.

"I couldn't stand or be there... to hear the tears coming from behind the fence.When I was eating cake in that fence, everybody out there shared a tasteless mushroom.Even though we can't get food, we have a fine sword.... "

"... you're doing great, Alissa."

When Riena said so, Alissa shook her neck slightly shy.

"I've been raised in such a sweet environment, it's useless.And... when I got out of the sanctuary, they welcomed me very much... and I didn't meet their expectations at all. "

I'll face Riena.

Nothing more can be expected of a sanctuary man.We don't have to help, and we don't want to help.

But I wanted to help this Alissa.

"... Alissa. Those outside the walls can move on their own.I don't need a king who doesn't want to protect the people.If the Sanctuary doesn't support us, we can help. "

Alissa looks sorry.

"Oh, really? But all we can give back... is mushrooms."

"No, we don't have mushrooms on our island. Hey, Riena?"

"Yes! Sheol has lots of people from the woods and I'd love to cook mushrooms."

Liena agreed with me.

"Thank you both so much!"

"Anyway, come and see the island once.Let's talk about the future. "

We decided to go back to Sheol once with Alissa.

Meanwhile, Taran broke up in front of the gate to join Hule searching for Mappa.

At that time, Alissa taught the soldiers guarding the tower our presence and told them not to be alarmed.

But when I returned from Alancia to Sheol, I suddenly screamed.

"Uhhhhhhhh!?... that?Okay, generals? "

He was there with a decent-faced Yerevan and armed monsters.Ashton and Heinez of Covolt are with us.

Looks like the fifteenth called them.

"I'm sorry to surprise everyone... number 15, I'm tired"

"General! You idiot! What a gate... and what a sister there!"

Alissa turns to Yerevan and interprets.

"My name is Alissa, and I've been invited by Lord Heel."

"Well, is that right? Is that why people live over here?"

I nod to Yerevan's voice.

"Oh, but don't worry.Because they're monsters, they don't attack. "

"I've told them about you.So don't worry. "

In Alissa's voice, Yerevan holds the weapon.

"Roger that. Well, I'll let you keep watch for a while."

"Oh, please. It's hard to get lost when kids come and go with each other.Yes, speaking of children... Ashton, Heinez.I need a favor. "

They jumped out of my voice.

What is it, Lord Heel?

I don't know what you're looking at.

I really nod to Heinez's voice.

"I can't find Mappa... he followed us later, but he disappeared while we were fighting at the Wall."

Ashton leaned his neck.

"Hmm... this is about Master Mappa, won't you find him soon?"

"It was the same in the previous underground city, but isn't he out of his mind?It's easy to think that you're pinching normally. "

Heinez is right, you certainly don't have to worry....

"But they never showed up.Mappa's still a kid... even with that beard. And it's a strange land. "

Ashton nodded deeply when I felt anxious.

"Very well, Master Mappa will find something like a symbol of my Sheol, and we will find it."

"Aniki, didn't you say something strange just now?Well, I don't care what happens at the end of this gate. "

They nodded "I will go" in unison.

"Sorry, both of you. Hule is looking for it now.Taran must have joined us in our quest. "

Got it. First, I will join Lord Foulet and Lord Taran. "

"Leave it to me. You and I will find it!"

When they said so, they jumped into the gate like wolves.

"All right, then, let's head up.Yerevan. The guardian of the gate, the Guardian, may return.Will you tell them I'm on my way to Sheol with Alissa? "

"Roger that. I'll just take a look outside the gate."

In Yerevan's words, Riena reminded her, "I asked you to do it."

This is how we set our sights on Sheol.
