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

Arancia Old Town cafeteria.

At that table, we were eating the lunch that Riena had brought us.

On the table are other seeds of the large── world tree that we just harvested.

"The big harvest... it's not the end of the line"

I never thought I'd be able to dig something like this in a day.

No, it's not unnatural to think of it as under the place where the world tree originally grew.

However, even after digging for Sheol, only one tree species has been found in this world.

Considering that, I'm pretty sure that I was very lucky to be able to dig in Alancia here.

I murmured when I saw Liena drying her wet hair.

This is also thanks to Riena.

"... is it ironic?"

Liena blushes and says.

It seems embarrassing to have slipped your leg.

Sometimes the skin is a little wet, and it is somewhat colourful.

"I-I didn't mean to." Anyone can slip in there. "

"That's right, Lord Liena." Luck is within our grasp. Besides that..... "

Alyssa, who was sitting next to her, said so much and stumbled.

I'll ask.

And what?

"No, no, it's nothing. However, it seems like you got something good, so it's good."

“Originally, the Alancian people were digging into it. There's only a few parts I've dug up."

“No, if we'd dug that way, we wouldn't have been able to do it for a year. If it wasn't for Lord Heel in the first place, would we...?"

I entrusted Alyssa with the seeds of the world's trees.

"This belongs to the people of Alancia."

Oh, you're telling us that you're going to give it to us?

Alyssa shook her head and returned the seeds to my hand.

"Of course, I can't accept anything so far." It's a tree that literally changes the world. With this, Sheol will flourish even more. "

“It was buried under Alan Velcro. I don't think digging is the best thing to do... I've said it before, but I want us to have plenty of Alancia. To confront the crisis of prophecy."

I will return the seeds of the world tree to Alyssa.

Riena says to Alyssa, who gazes at the seeds with a strange face.

"Let's bury it in this Alanberg. I don't have much left, but there is a solar stone. If you use one, it will grow about the size of a Sheol. Do you know where the place will be made?”

"Certainly, plants under the world's trees would promote growth." In this case, it is a bit of a waste to build on top of the old town. If it's a field, the square behind the old town, near the tower, would be just right. It's easy to defend. "

In other words, it will be next to the sanctuary.

It will become a show-off position for the Sanctuary, but at this stage it is a little tough to bury it outside the city walls. It will inevitably be next to the sanctuary.

"Well, if you look at the world tree, the people in the sanctuary may change their minds." I'm sure you're worried about the hostage, Lurat. "

Already, there were countless magic armor flying around Alancia.

Even though this is a big impact, if the world tree is added to it, they will recognize the difference between the power of Arancia and the Sanctuary. Alyssa was right, the sanctuary might break.

Of course, he abandoned the people of Alancia.

In the meantime, the sanctuary will need to think about what it can do for Alancia.

It's not about me or Sheol.

Find a compromise between the Sanctuary and the people of Arancia.

Well then, I ate it all day, so let's go see where the seeds of the world's trees are buried.

Riena and I nodded to my words.

Then we decided to leave the cafeteria and head for the square in front of the tower.

... by the way, Mappa didn't come to see me after all.

Mappa-san, you must be very busy?

Riena murmured strangely, wondering if she thought the same thing about me.

"Both of you really like Lord Mappa." She's not a child either, so don't worry about that. "

Didn't you tell Alyssa?

What do you mean?

"Mappa is a child."

"Huh? Huh? Huh?... ahhh!"

Alyssa looked like she remembered something.

Speaking of which, on the day you first met Lord Heel, Lord Mappa disappeared and you said you were a child.

"That's right." Mappa is still a child. "

"I see, that's why I'm worried... as far as I can see, there's going to be a lot of confluence... or I'll leave out what Mappa looks like." You two...... I'm already in such a heel..... "

Alyssa was trembling.

Riena touched Alyssa's shoulder like that.

Liena told me with an embarrassed face.

"Already, heels! It seems that Alyssa-san is mistaken for a child!" Alyssa. Mappa is not our child. Mappa is seven years old, and it hasn't been a year since I and Heel met "fatefully."

"Huh? Oh, is that so!?" I-It's an early start.... "

Alyssa lowered her head deeply to me.

"No, no, don't worry about it. I was short of words, too. Mappa is a dwarf, so she looks a little old from the human point of view."

"I see. But at the age of seven, that arm... you're a dwarf."

"There were other dwarves in Sheol... but there was no one there." Mappa is special. "

When she answered that, Riena told Alyssa that Mappa was really amazing, and that Mappa was very active in Sheol.

... was Riena so bright? Grrr... what is that?

As I walked down the street, I noticed that the magic armor was standing behind a certain roof.

Heading that way, it was one of Alainberg's squares.

There were quite a few people there.

"What is it? Are you listening to Alyssa?"

“Speaking of which, a representative of this neighborhood is applying for construction on this square this morning. Sheol can make anything for you."

"Huh, what is it?" Construction isn't magic armor, is it?... oh, that's... "

In the square were the large golems, including the No. 1, and the slimes.

And there was Mappa, like they were pinched.

Mappa!

When I see him, I feel somewhere relieved.

I walked straight to Mappa.

When Mappa notices me, she gestures just to say it's good.

"Weren't you wearing magic armor?" Oh, this is... "

In the center of the square was a huge fountain. But the water hasn't flowed yet.

"Is there water in this place?" The wells in this area were almost dead. "

Alyssa points in a surprising direction to Mappa.

There were Hoole and Taran with the pickle.

"Were you two digging for water?"

With that said, Mappa shakes her head vertically.

The golems and slimes must have built a fountain to receive water.

By the way, there may be plumbing running through the basement to see that some of the cobblestones in the square are brand new.

With this, Hoole grabs the handle near the fountain and shouts.

"Then I'll pass the water!" That's it! "

When Hoole pulled the handle, she heard the sound of water flowing faintly.

When the sound became louder, water began to spew out from the central pillar of the fountain.

The square will soon be cheered.

Everyone seems happy not to have to fetch water to the next block anymore.

"From magic armor to what?" It's really amazing, Mappa. "

When I say that, Mappa shakes her fingers as she keeps saying that.

And I pointed to a certain part.

"Is that...?"

Facing the square, there was a large building with a brighter color than the surrounding area. Unlike other grey buildings in Alanberg, it has a bright color, such as beige.

Alyssa tilts her head.

It was supposed to be an old well and an abandoned warehouse.

Mappa said she'd be quicker to see it, so she headed for the building.
