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

I was going down the tunnel in Alanberg.

A crudely dug black rock wall. From what I can see, I don't see any unusual stones.

Alyssa looks back at me and looks a little suspicious.

"Hmm? What's the matter, Alyssa?"

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no

Huh? Isn't that what you always do?

Alyssa nodded.

"I've never seen you snort before."

I was surprised myself, but I seemed to be playing a song.

She naturally patted her shoulder with a single hand to match the rhythm of her nose.

"I wonder if I should say I'm in a good mood." I'm looking forward to it. "

Alyssa tilts her head at my answer.

"Oh, I see. Alancia is dark everywhere, so I don't like these dark trenches and undergrounds." People really hate working in places like this because they're saving fuel. "

"Dark? Sure, that's right..."

Rather, from my point of view, it seemed brighter here with the power of [Cave King] 's night vision.

But it usually looks darker.

Alyssa had a strange look on her face, but she stopped before her eyes.

"This is the deepest place." But are you sure you want to "dig"? "

"Yeah, we need a lot of rocks." Besides, there may be something unusual buried in it. ”

There is something precious that only sleeps in Alancia's basement, and it could break this situation.

Nevertheless, this is not Sheol. There weren't many stones left to increase magic power or revive creatures.

But I also feel good about digging into a faraway foreign land, not Sheol. We also need a lot of rocks to expand Alanberg's walls. There is nothing wrong with not being able to dig something unusual.

"I see, but there's really nothing buried underneath here." I can't even barely dig iron. "

As Alyssa said, this underground rock wall was never replaced.

Until I got here, I saw the road branching out like an ant's nest, but it was the same everywhere.

But one thing I've noticed is that I haven't dug much further down.

For now, I'm going to dig a little deeper.

"That's fine, but I think it's quite difficult." The rocks here are hard, but the deeper they get, the harder they get. "

It's more like digging.

That's what I said, and I swung the pickle.

On the rock wall, the [Cave King] 's effect glowed to make it safe to dig.

There I swung down the pickle vigorously.

Then, in an instant, a rock that was bigger than a room collapsed.

"────What?!?!"

As soon as Alyssa thought she had leaked her voice, she changed the tone and spoke in surprise.

It must be because the rock that I thought had collapsed suddenly disappeared.

"This is the first time I've seen you dig." You were building rocks the other day when you built the walls, weren't you? It's the same thing. "

"I see... if I can get it out, I can let it in." In the first place, it's unbelievable that there is such a space. "

I heard Alyssa, but my arm didn't stop.

Keep digging through the rocks.

Alyssa muttered when she saw the sight.

But I couldn't dig up the floor so easily after a day.

"That's why I told you. Anyway, I'll take care of the rocks. My people will help me later, too."

"Fufu. You're really reliable." Let me dig a little, too. "

"I don't mind, but is Alyssa okay?" You organized the investigation team, didn't you? "

Alyssa decided to organize a survey team using magic armor.

The members are those who are used to fighting mainly the defender.

I am tasked with investigating and scouting outside of Alain Velk.

"The captain is Augus." Augus is such a thoughtful man that I can't stand it. Even without my magic armor, I had a dangerous mission. Don't worry about it. "

"Sure enough, I'm relieved she's here." Well then, here you go. "

I gave Alyssa the spare pickle that I had on my waist.

"Woah... it's a lot lighter than I thought." Can you dig with this? "

"If it wasn't for Tam, we wouldn't be able to share power." Please shake the pickle to the place where I'm digging. "

Got it!

Then I went mining with Alyssa.

Alyssa didn't benefit from the [Cave King], but thanks to my advice and Misslil's pickle, she was able to dig well.

Shell was able to bring me a range that I couldn't collect automatically, so it was really smooth.

"... but I certainly don't feel like it's getting hard." I think it's harder than the rocks of Sheol. "

While digging, I checked the inventory.

Then,

"This is... mostly charcoal." The rocks are mixed, too. "

Apparently, this black feeling was charcoal.

Alyssa takes the fallen charcoal in her hand and says:

"I knew it. Someone lit a fire once because it was difficult to dig, but it didn't go away and it was a big fire..."

"I think you should be careful with the handling of fire." But was the charcoal so hard? And it's not coal, is it? No, I see. "

I remember the tower in the middle of Alanberg.

"Was there a world tree here?"

Now it's surrounded by rocks, but it was originally called a dead world tree.

It is not surprising that the roots are spread underneath this Alanberg.

Alyssa nodded.

"Oh, and my ancestors... the old King Alancia burned them down."

One way to make charcoal is to cover the wood with soil and steam it.

"Then the charcoal may have been left behind by the burning of the roots of the world's trees."

"I see..."

Alyssa looked at the charcoal with a complicated look on her face.

If this had stayed green, Alancia might not have been cornered this far.

So far, the power of the world's trees is great.

The gray Alanberg would have been different.

Nevertheless, Alancia is short of all kinds of supplies.

Charcoal is also a fine resource.

I was just saying we were saving fuel.

This is hard to use.

"... oh, charcoal is rare."

When Alyssa nodded, we resumed mining.

But after a while, suddenly, the fragrant scent comes out.

"What, this... no, this is..."

I'll face Sheil.

The scent that came out was the one that we had smelled before.

Alyssa takes a deep breath and says.

"It smells nice... yeah?" I smelled this when I went to Lord Heel's island. "

"That's right. It smells like the sap and leaves of the world's trees... and it smells even sweeter and stronger... haha"

As I remembered, I put the mask on my waist.

It's a mask that Mappa made for me to wear.

I've been watching him go crazy because of the sap of the world's trees.

But there was only one mask.

I'm not worried about Ciel, but Alyssa is not good.

Wind magic makes me say it while waking up the wind.

"Alyssa! It's dangerous here! Pull back for a moment."

"Why is it smelling so good?"...... uu

Alyssa took another deep breath.

"Stop it, Alyssa! I'm coming out!"

It will take some time before it goes crazy.

I pulled Alyssa's hand and headed out.

But it was almost a staircase.

"Wait, Lord Heel!" I'm sure you'll be fine. "

”Hah, hah... yes, that's right”

I don't smell it anymore.

You'll be fine when you get here.

"Alyssa, is something wrong?"

"I'm not going crazy. I think it's strange, Master Heel... I need to be more gentle with my lady's hands. I'm also a woman."

That's what Alyssa said and turned away.

I may have never seen you so angry.

"I'm sorry, but it's really dangerous."

"If you smoke, will you die?"

”No, it's not, but... it's like a medicine.”

Well, that's better than that.

Alyssa said in amazement.

"Anyway, I'm sorry. Let's get a mask and come back here." Mappa's just assembling the magic armor up there. "

That's what I said, trying to get up the stairs.

But this time, Alyssa grabbed me by the wrist.

"Before I do that, Lord Heel... can I have a word with you?"

"What? Talking? Going upstairs."

“It's an important story for this country. I want to talk to you here."

Speaking like that, Alyssa always takes my hands with a serious expression.

When I looked closely, Alyssa's cheeks were red.

Ah, Alyssa?

"Lord Heel... this is an important story for this country, no, for me!"

It was Alyssa who was always shy, but she was twisting her body.

"Lord Heel,── I'd like to apply for your marriage!!"

That said, Alyssa spread her hands and tried to jump on me. Her lips are blurred, and her pretty face is sloppy.

I knew you were going crazy.

I dodge gorgeously and immediately try to get up the stairs to drag Alyssa.

But Alyssa's physical abilities far outweighed mine.

Just grab my hand and stop my leg.

"It's terrible, Lord Heel!" I'm asking for so much from a woman! Am I such a no-good woman?! "

"No, that's not true!" However, that's not what Alyssa really meant. "

"No, I mean it! This is what I was trying to suppress!" I love heels!! "

Alyssa clings to me in tears. Alyssa's bountiful place envelops my arms.

Oh no! If anyone finds me in── a place like this...

Looking up, Riena, holding a basket, stood on the stairs.
