After rescuing the goblins, I was deep underground and encouraged to mine.

"Hmm... you can dig a lot in one go"

Wiping the sweat off my forehead, I shrugged.

I can dig out the size of a small bedroom with just one swing of a pickel.

The resources that can be picked, too, have become more than 100 rocks at a time.

"Did you get anything unusual..."

The newly harvested resource in the last three days is about marble.

I hope it's time for something, even a brand new stone.

I'll get the inventory information from my advisor.

They're all steadily increasing... but there's something I'm not as familiar with as two.

I activate one of [Cave King] 's effects, the Ore Atlas.

"Shining Stone... Stone Without Losing Glow"

I see, you mean a stone that glows all the time.

This could be a substitute for pine lighting that illuminates the cave.

I don't need it because I have [Cave King] mining aid effects and dark vision.

"Misogishi"... by using it, you break every curse.

A curse...

The magic of dark attributes has several techniques that are classified as curses.

The magic of "erosion”, which gradually erodes the body like poison, is an exemplary example of this.

Usually, to break these curses, you need the magic of the sacred attributes that priests are good at.

But the curse is different depending on the type of curse and the poison, so it requires not only magic, but also advanced expertise.

... Nevertheless, will I need this in a cave where no one is?

But I'm not familiar with the curse myself, so it'll help when there's something.

"... well, you got a new stone anyway."

Yes, it doesn't really matter if it's available or not.

It's a pleasure to get something new that you've never seen before.

"Come on, keep going!...... yeah?

Where the shoulders are beeping and straining, the sound of zero liquid sounds.

This sound... is the sound of the slime jumping.

When I looked back, there was still a slime headed this way.

"Is that Ciel? Did something happen to the goblins?

Ciel of Slime didn't even snort, he spread his body just to tell him to get on quickly.

Do you want to interrupt and return for now?

I'm hungry.

I rode Ciel back to the entrance to the cave.

Where you can see the light outside, a wild voice sounds.

"Get off me, princess!!

I hear weak screams, as if to respond to them.

"Please don't, General!! Help yourself to someone's food, and more!

"The princess is right! We should negotiate first, General!

And he that hath a low voice told him to be in tune.

They're arguing about something.

About my food?

I get off Ciel and show up in front of them.

They were, after all, the goblins we rescued earlier.

All the goblins turn to us.

"So, who?!

A goblin with a wild voice... a big goblin like an oak comes at me with a short knife. Is this the general?

That face felt more like you were afraid of me than hostile.

The rest of the small, round goblins and the shitty goblins also seem frightened.

But the rounded goblin quickly flaunts the general with a weak voice.

"Shit, General! This one must have helped us! Drop your weapon!

"Princess...... I can't do that. This guy... he's a bad guy."

Despite the call of a rounded goblin called the princess, the general keeps pointing his short-knife at me.

I guess the words make sense to each other because they are goblins who lived on the continent of Burleon, where the Kingdom of Samphales is located.

There are several human nations on the continent of Burleon.

But mountains, deep forests, etc. are beyond man's grasp and can be the home of demons.

And on the Burleon continent, it is the Burleon language that is commonly used by both humans and demons. This is the official language of the Kingdom of Samphales.

But I'm out-of-heart with the bad guy...

Anyway, let's tell them we don't have the will to hostile.

"Just give me a minute. I'm not gonna do anything to you guys."

"Can you believe it, like the human language!

The general roughed up his voice.

Humans don't trust...... maybe they are goblins who hate humans.

But the princess and the other shitty goblin are desperate to cover up.

It is also possible that they do not like to fight.

"You must be up to something...... otherwise why are you laughing at us from earlier?!

To the general's unexpected inquiry, I lean my neck.

"... Huh?

Nothing to laugh at...

I lift Ciel and stretch her body straight.

Then, like a mirror, Ciel photographed my face.

There's a man there with his eyes slightly open and his mouth cornered...

The mouth is always open and abnormally cat-backed.

Oh, this is definitely a bad one.

No one will believe me, even if they tell me there is no hostility in this face.

Though it's only been a few days, I was alone here.

And waved the pickel, as if it was possessed by something.

I guess mining was the only thing I looked forward to and was becoming less of a normal person.

I shook my head to the side and corrected my expression and posture.

"... sorry, excuse me. You're hungrier than that, aren't you? If it's food, you can eat there."

Having said that, the General does not loosen his expression at all.

"... Is it even poisoned?

Well, you think so...

A man with such a face emerged from the true darkness with one hand, Pickel.

It won't be easy for you to trust me.

"Hmm, how about this, then?"

I'll try to get some bread out of a barrel filled with food.

And with the other hand, I offer the General some bread... but he won't accept it.

I was going to prove it wasn't poisoned, but can I still do this?

Then, now get out of the cave and release the median magic bolt of the lightning attribute into the sea.

Then the fish floated, so I blew it up this way with a wind.

Five or so fish bounce off the tip.

"This would be nice, wouldn't it?

I look back with the fish in my hand, but the general looked even more difficult.

"That much magic can be used... why not kill us right away? If you want to kill me, kill me immediately!!

Trouble... has magic reinforced my distrust?

... or am I not too bad at convincing you?

When I'm on my way, a goblin called the princess exposes her anger.

"General! Why do you always make decisions so fast... ugh"

"Princess!"

Goblins, called princesses, fell on the spot.

The general immediately looses the body of the princess.

"Princess! Princess! Wake up, princess!

But the princess doesn't get up.

Next to it, a shivering goblin shook his head to the side.

"... General. Unfortunately, I guess the princess is the limit by now. Here recently, the princess had been unconscious many times. I have no doubt that it is because of the curse of decreasing lifespan that I hold in my lifetime… I'm glad we're here now."

"But... the princess is the only survivor of the royal family..."

"Yes, but I won't see the princess suffer any more... wouldn't the general think so?

The general snorts at it, even as he weeps.

"... oh. Let me at least make it easier on you with our hands. And in the world to come, let us be punished by our fathers..."

Uh... kind of a suicidal trend for all of us?

Hmm, it's not like I can stop...

Oh, no, you said something about a curse.

I'll break right in.

"Wait, wait! A curse might cure you."

"Don't lie to me! We tried any hand! I even bowed my head to a human being... but I still couldn't."

"Well, try things..."

I tell my advisor that I will use the stone (misoguishi) that I just got.

Then, the princess's body was wrapped in light.

"... hey, what's the light now?

To the general's question, I answer the knowledge gained from the drawings.

"I used a stone, a stone that would break every curse. I've never used it before."

"... stone? Where is it?

"Oh, uh..."

Explain it longer.

Instead, you won't believe the inventory...

"Oh, you had a shorter life span than that. Wait a minute..."

Then, use turtlestone.

Let's leave 10 for emergency use and use the later 79.

Tortoise doesn't seem to react to light or anything.

Instead, the princess said, "Yeah?" and wake up.

"Huh... why? I thought I was dead... and my body doesn't hurt anywhere..."

A princess who wakes up her body and squeezes her eyes.

Apparently, Tortoise and Tortoise worked well.

"Princess!! Good!!

The generals wept and rejoiced in the princess's recovery.
