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

Are you all right, Alyssa?

Riena sat down on the stairs and cared for Alyssa drinking water next to her.

When Alyssa hugged me, Riena gently pulled Alyssa away. Then, as if to calm him down, he took the water and the fruit he had brought for lunch.

Thanks to that, Alyssa seems to have gradually calmed down.

Alyssa answered, her face bright red.

"Ah, I'm calm. But, Lord Riena, what am I?"

“You don't have to tell everyone. Neither I nor Heel-sama have any experience with that. Isn't that right, Heel Master?"

It sounds strange to me that I've already experienced it, Riena... Alyssa's face is about to boil even more.

"Ah, ahh. Alyssa, it's the scent of the sap and spores of the world's trees." Sniffing it or mouthing it... it's kind of weird. "

"That's why... I really didn't apologize to Lord Heel!"

Alyssa bows her head to me.

No, I'm the one.

”And in front of Lord Riena... both of you, I...”

Riena pointed her palm at Alyssa with tears in her eyes.

Alyssa looked very anxious. Riena and I are often next to each other, and I wonder if they thought they were married with the word "experienced".

I tried to clear up the misunderstanding, but Riena opened her mouth first.

"Never mind, Mr. Alyssa. And you don't have to fake your feelings.”

Huh?

"Anyway, let's take this story home." Shell-san seems to be back. "

Riena turned to the top of the stairs with Nikonico.

There was a ciel jumping up and down.

And upon his body were three things like round helmets.

Huh? Is this a mask?

Shell bent over to my voice.

The surrounding area seems to be made of misril, but the glass plate is inserted. There is no doubt that the part of the glass plate is on the face side.

"I wonder if the glass is Leviathan's scales." Mappa made it for me, didn't she? Not just your mouth, but your eyes. Well then, let's put this on and go see it again. "

Yes!

The two respondents put on a helmet from Sheel. After I put it on, I decided to go back to where I dug it.

"... heh?"

As I walked, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

Riena asks as she moves along next to me.

What's the matter, Heel Master?

"Ah, no. Something's wrong with me."

“Surely it might look a little stubborn.”

Alyssa answered Riena's question.

But that suit doesn't seem to go well with the suit when wearing that magic armor.

"Sure... this helmet might look nice when paired with a suit." Maybe this is the helmet I made for the magic armor ride. "

Seeing Shell bending over like she was nodding, it seemed to fit. I guess Mappa gave it to Sheila.

But the helmet wasn't weird. Something's missing... I see.

I looked back.

But there was no one there.

"Mappa... Mappa's not coming"

"If you ask me..."

Riena also raised her voice like she remembered my words.

Alyssa tilts her head.

What's wrong with not having Lord Mappa?

"Ah, yes. I've always been here... but I might be busy assembling armor right now."

Or maybe Ciel was just silent that Mappa smelled like a world tree underneath.

Anyway, I'm going straight back to the mining site.

There was magic around the rock wall. This is the true scent, isn't it?

It looks like it's leaking from there.

A small crack was found in a part of the rock wall. The scent is leaking from there.

”Are there sap accumulating, or is there still a living part... dig anyway?”

I shook up the pickle and smashed the crack.

Collapsing rock walls. What we saw was a pond filled with liquid.

"This place is..."

Alyssa was torpedoed and illuminated the front.

The surface of the water that received the light sparkled. The liquid is a little yellow.

Honey-like colors... Did the sap of the world tree accumulate here?

"In that case, it's not drowning like the sap of a tree in the world of Sheol." It's like water... yeah, this fragrance? "

Riena raised her helmet slightly and smelled the scent outside.

"Ri, Liena, it's dangerous."

"It's okay. More than that... this is the smell of alcohol, isn't it?"

"Wine?"

"Yes, after a long time of sap and water, it may have turned into alcohol." We both knew that the old beehive would produce a liquid like alcohol. ”

I see. So, this is like mead, I guess.

Nevertheless, I doubt that I can drink it as it is.

If you drink this, everyone might go nuts right away.....

It could be charcoal or rock.

"Let's go home with just one water bottle or something." We need Barris and Ariez to look into this carefully. If it doesn't seem to be a problem, the people of Alancia can drink it. ”

"That's good, isn't it?" So, I'll do it. "

Having said that, Riena tries to open the lid of the water bottle she brought.

But at that time, Riena fluttered.

"Liena──!? Whoa!"

I was going to hold Liena from behind.

However, I slipped my feet and fell into the sake pond with Riena.

Lady Heel, Lady Riena!!

I could hear Alyssa calling out.

I can breathe this helmet because there is no liquid in it.

In addition, Liena's eyes in front of her opened and she seemed to be conscious.

So, there's no need to drown.

Are you okay, Liena?

As she spoke, she saw Liena's face.

Liena said something and lowered her head.

I thought you said you were sorry for watching your mouth move.

Anyway, just keep going up. When I thought so, I found something glowing at the bottom of the pond.

"A gem? No... it's an incredible magic power!"

From the glowing thing, I could see more magic power than the surrounding liquid.

It's not that deep to the bottom. I pick up that glowing thing and put my face on the water. Riena also came out of the pond together.

Ask Alyssa to pull it out of the pond.

"Are you both okay!?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Heel."

Liena bows her head to me.

"No, I was kind of sloppy." Besides, thanks to this helmet, I was saved. "

It was like I was expecting this to happen.

I can breathe for a certain amount of time, so it seems easy to swim with a suit.

"Moreover, this glowing object..."

It's about the size of a potato, and it's like a seed.

"Seeds... no way"

"Heel-sama, this..."

I'll face Liena.

"World tree seeds!?"

The seeds of the world tree that we once buried with our hands. It was in the same shape.
