In the cave, I was staring at Sheol's underground map.

”The closest transfer gate is... this way forever, Shell”

In my words echoing in the cave, Slime Shell shows a nod with her body bent.

"Well then... let's dig it up!"

I put the map in my pocket and started waving my pickle as usual.

When the sound of a kang resounds, the rocks collapse. It still feels more fragile than Alancia's.

There are others out there digging, but I'm the only one here. Behind them, Ciel and the fifteenth Mithril Golem, now in a dandy shape, were waiting.

Hoole and the Talans, who are always together, each have something to do today. Hoole is obsessed with learning magic from Arancians and Sheols.

I feel lonely without my mining companions, but that's the only thing more I can do on this island.

I've only been traveling around the island with Riena for as long as I have time.....

”Think about it... this island really has grown, hasn't it?”

Shell bent her body in a vertical motion.

Suddenly, such words leaked out. At first, she and I were together.

That's when Riena and the others became more and more friends... now we have a wonderful country.

When I think about it, my power to grasp the pickle is stronger. To protect everyone, we need to make Sheol richer and safer.

This is how you can best contribute to keeping the pickle rolling.

That's why I definitely don't like it... oh.

I stop waving my hand at the high sound of Kang. Looks like you hit something that wasn't a rock.

When the collapsed rocks were recovered from the inventory, the golden walls… the Oriharkon walls came into view. As before, it must be one of Sheol's remains.

However, there should be a little further to the portal.

Seeing what was beyond the wall, Sheil began to change his shape.

”Swords and spears... no way, it's an armory”

In my words, Shell bent her body vertically.

"Sheol's weapon... I guess there's something with better performance." Don't you have to worry about the security golem? "

Shell nodded and said she was fine. Previously, the security golems said they had everything under control or stopped.

I can't feel any magic either. You'll be fine if you keep digging like this.

As I was deploying my shields, I hit the wall.

The wall collapses with a gash. I'll go straight into the hole.

"This... looks like a warehouse to me."

A space lined with dozens of tall shelves. But the wooden boxes that would have been on the shelves were scattered on the floor.

The crate was smashed to pieces and seemed to have been removed. They are filling the floor.

"Was this... stolen by someone?"

Shell couldn't hide her surprise either. Immediately approach the device attached to the nearby wall and try to operate it.

Eventually, through the device, Shell's voice resounded.

"I can't find the transfer stone that was supposed to be in the device, and I can't transfer it to another space... It's possible that someone took the transfer stone after taking the weapon here."

“The Borussians who were protecting the underground city, didn't Doll take it away?”

“They seem to have set their sights on this place as soon as their ego sprouted. However, even though I remembered the transfer from the underground city, I couldn't transfer it."

"I guess it wasn't the Borussians who ravaged this place... let's check the warehouse anyway." We may have some clues. "

When I say that, Mappa, who was in front of me sometime, nods.

"──Mappa!? Shit, I'm surprised."

Then Mappa shows me the glowing stone. A transfer stone. The walls of the cave contain transfer stones equally spaced, so they must have used it to get here.

"It's been a long time since you've been out of sight... but it's amazing how you can still sniff out something..."

Well, it's better to look at more than one person. Mappa can cause problems, but I've found something.

"Number fifteen. Can you tell this to the ground?"

"Hah, right away."

Number 15 takes the handbell out of his pocket and rings.

Then another golem rushed from the back.

"Tell Lord Barris about this space."

And the golem, called by the voice of the fifteenth, saluted, and went toward the earth at full speed.

That little handbell... it's incredibly organized.

Alright, then let's explore the inside.

That's what I said, and I started walking around the warehouse.

Proceed carefully so as not to get stuck in the crate on the floor. Besides, there might be somebody lurking around.

But I didn't feel any magic at all. It looked like all the weapons had been taken cleanly.

"Excavation?... no, I didn't know you were talking about people."

It looked like Mappa was going to find something someday. I looked around with a boring look on my face.

Oriharkon and Mithrill's weapons are powerful. It's useful whether you use it in battle or sell it, so you can avoid losing it so cleanly.

But eventually I felt something like a stream of wind.

The wind flows towards my hole... from there.

"This place is..."

As the wind blew towards me, I saw a hole in the wall.

For a moment, I thought I'd returned to the hole I had opened, but the shape of the hole was different.

"Did someone open this hole? who the hell is....."

The hole seemed to go deep. It's stretching in the same direction as the portal we're aiming for.

"Did the one who took the weapon come through here?"

There was no magic response across the road. It won't be a problem if we keep going like this.

"Let's go." Maybe even the transfer gate. "

Shells nodded to my voice.

So we went down a path where we didn't even know who dug it.

The road is reinforced with wooden columns and beams. With enough to destroy the Oriharkon Wall, it must have been dug here by those with considerable technical abilities.

And those people.....

I can see the same sight that we've seen before.

The vast space...... at its deepest, the transfer gate still sat.
