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

"I'm sorry, I did!!

Goblin, called General, bowed his head to the ground with momentum.

"I didn't expect you to point your weapon at us, even though you helped us! Oh, why am I always this stupid!

The general punches his head to the ground many times.

"As it were, sort of. I'm sorry I laughed too..."

"They apologize for what! You have decursed our princess!! All we have to do is apologize and thank you... Ah"

The general doesn't know my name, so he gets stuck in words.

"... heels. Hey, why don't we introduce ourselves to dinner first? I'm hungry, too."

"Oh, excuse me for this! I am General Ele of the Berdans!

As follows, the goblin, called the princess, is also named.

"I am” Li ”, the princess of Rhodan, king of the Berdans..."

"I am a Berdan prayer artist (Sherman), my name is Bari"

I see, that's a short name...

In their tribe, positions are probably more important than names.

The princess is the son of a tribal chief, the general is the one who binds the warrior, and the prayer man is the one who conducts the sacrifice.

A society that only needs to know its role.

"As I said earlier, I'm a heel. Prince of the Kingdom of Samphales... was a human being"

I'm still supposed to be a prince for once, but I'm not sure.

They could be treating you like a dead man.

In response to me, General Ele opens his mouth.

"Prince? I see, so much magic like that."

"It's not such amazing magic. And it wasn't magic that broke the curse. It's a mined stone effect."

"Stone?"

"Well, you think so if you don't see it... if it's good, I'll show it to you later. More than that, how did you get to this rock?

Ele answered me with a sad face.

"It's... my tribe was burned down by the orcs in their homeland. All the kings and their sons died, except for” Li ”, who is here. Then for the past year we have been wandering the continent of Burleon in search of a place to live. But there was no tribe to accept us, and humans chased us... and we decided to build a few ships with the remaining 800 people and go for a new continent."

But the ship sank...

Goblin prayerer Bari continues.

"Now I don't even know the cheapness of those other than the eagles. No, it was originally supposed to sink. So I stopped..."

Perhaps it was the General's ele who pushed the plan forward.

Ele didn't say anything back to it.

There, ”Li”, the princess, opens her mouth.

"Bali, don't blame Ele anymore... Either way, our fate would have been the same even if we were on land"

"Right...... Princess, excuse me"

Now turn to me, ”Li” says.

"Dear Heels. Thank you so much for helping us...... what a thank you"

"No, that's okay. And you..."

As the real life expectancy of ”li” was today, the number of lives stretched by Turtlestone was 79 days.

The curse seems to have disappeared, so this won't shrink...

”Li" snorts.

"I know. Either way, I guess my life isn't long...... still, I've never been so happy. My chest hurts the whole time I was born, but it doesn't hurt at all right now."

”Li" did his hand in front of his chest so as to check the sound of his heart.

The face is certainly calm.

Is Ele or Bari in a complicated mood or just a slight cheer?

Death is inevitable, that's what you think.

"... right. As it is now, you certainly won't be long. But it's too soon to give up."

"Huh?"

"The tortoise I just used (Turtlestone)...... that's the massive amount of sleep in this basement. With this, you can extend your life as long as you want."

Ele gets herself into my words.

"Oh, is that true, Lord Heel?! That there is such a thing in the world?!

"Yeah, I was just accelerating my mining volume with my power. This in three days. If I dig for a week, I can earn more than a year's life, right?

Ele looks at Bari.

"Hih, Lord Heel... I know the bug is a good story, but that turtlestone (Turtlestone), could you let us dig it too?

"Huh? Fine."

Ele and Bari didn't seem to believe that I gave them a quick answer.

But gradually you seem to understand, and you both bow your heads to me.

"Thank you! Thanks!!

Meanwhile, Li asks with her eyes closed.

"Duh, how can you... share such precious things with us?

"Never mind, I never had a chance to use it anyway. The purpose is to dig, not to use. Besides, I just missed you alone. Ah..."

I notice that Li is in tears.

Then no one wants to die.

If you can see the hope of living, you should be happy.

”Li” bowed his head and said a word, "Thank you".

It's really not a big deal.

Though it's not my territory at all.

"You're welcome... but what do we do?

My ability to dig so crisp is due, for one thing, to the effects of [Cave King].

I have some pickels, but I can't dig a lot where I gave them to you.

Not to mention digging the weird part, and if it goes down, there's no ex or kid.

Advisor...... any good advice?

"Due to the effects of the current [Cave King], it is possible to partially benefit the Tamed Demon:

Specifically, they have mining assistance through improved mining skills, improved experience, and mining optimization capabilities. However, the improvement value does not extend to the person with [Cave King].

They also say inventory, automatic recovery, dark vision functions, etc. are impossible to share.

I see...... you mean you need Tame for now.

But goblins are not like slimes.

Well, let's just ask.

"But there are conditions for that. Tame me."

"Oh, I mean, do you want me to be Lord Heel's man?

"I'm not going to order you, and of course you can say no to anything you don't like... rather than I'm the only one who can dig tortoises, okay? Don't worry, I'll split it as much as I want."

"No, no! You've come this far, and I'm going to be even more selfish! Me and Bari, of course, will serve you! But only the princess..."

When Ele says that much, ”Li” also opens his mouth.

"Dear Heels! If I'm not rude too, let me serve you!

Ele says she waited and pinches her mouth.

"Hih, princess! But you are a princess..."

"Everyone moves for me. I have to do something too. Besides, thank you to the heels. We have to reward you at all costs. I don't know what I can do..."

"Princess..."

"Dear Heels. Please, make me your servant. Give me a new name, please."

”Li", still a toddler, looked at me with a serious eye.

As for calling it a new name, I guess you know what Tame itself is.

I'm weak... I don't like these things.

Well, if you want to stop, you can stop.

"... ok. Well, I'll let you taste it."

"There are demons that can be taemed. Do you want to Tame?:

Looks like they got their consent, too.

I name them one after the other.

Ele is Elevan, Bari is Barris.

It comes from the common name of the Kingdoms.

"Let me now call this Jerevan, Lord Heel, the Admiral."

"Barris... I am honored to give you a new name. As we age, let us serve you as best we can."

"Oh, nice to meet you"

And ”li”...

"Riena, what do you think?

"Riena...... that's my new name, isn't it? I dedicate this Riena, this whole body, to serve the heels."

Thus Riena and the others were tamed by me.

Everybody kneel at me again.

"... well, let's just eat and then actually dig, rather than think hard"

"" Yes!

The only thing I really want to do is get back to mining.

If I hadn't waved the pickel... I'd have a palpitation.

We finish a simple meal.

All three seemed pretty hungry and ate well.

Then I'll give everyone a pickel and go underground.

But Barris says.

"Him, Lord Heel, isn't it dangerous without the lights?

"Huh? Oh, right. I was the only one with a dark vision effect..."

Without the lights, it would be hard to dig inside.

Do you even make pine lights... Oh, speaking of which.

"Just give me a minute, please"

I go back to the entrance and take out three wooden bars for the pine lights from the supplies I brought.

And from the inventory, I took out three luminous stones that I had just obtained.

Stone with no light out......

With this, you don't need to use fire, you don't need to replace a spark.

If you brace Shining Stone around the tip of the stick... it's the completion of the indelible Matsumitsu.

It seems to illuminate wider and brighter than normal pine lights.

You just want to dig a lot of this too.

"Yes, where did you get that stone out of now?

Barris asks terribly.

"Uh... don't be long to explain. I'll tell you while I dig. Yes, this will make it easier to see around"

I'll distribute the pine lights to everyone and go down to the basement first.

And I told him about the inventory and the automatic collection.

But I can't seem to tell you what I'm talking about.

Everyone leans their heads.

I can't help it.

Neither do humans believe that it is automatically stored in a blind place.

"Well, I guess it's quicker for you to look at it...... this one would be better. Hey, look."

I stop in front of the rock wall and shake up the pickel.

"Can you see the white light? It's safe to tap there, so I'll shake it there... Yikes."

Quick, I'll dig.

Then about a small private room of rock collapsed at once.

Besides, the rock quickly wraps itself in the light and disappears somewhere.

Everyone sees it with a surprised face.

I can't think of anything normal...

Riena asks.

"Yes, what the hell?!

"Well, this isn't going to happen from the start... but if you get used to it, I think you guys will be able to collapse once and for all"

That's right, but all the goblins just pout their mouths out.

"Oh, but you don't have automatic collection... if I were nearby, I'd be able to collect it."

It may not need to be recovered immediately.

But your feet are dangerous... hmm.

I notice the slime hanging there.

And among them, there was Ciel.

"... Ciel, do you have a minute?

To that word, Ciel entered before me.

Once again, in body language, I ask that it be in Ciel.

Ciel said nothing and went back to the Slimes.

You understand, you don't know until you actually act.

"All right, let's see what we can do. Better get used to it than learn."

"Yes!"

Goblins waving pickels at my voice.

I watched it a little further away.

Then, the slimes bring the rocks that fell at the foot of the goblin near me.

And I recovered them with automatic recovery.

Yeah, apparently passed it on well to Ciel.

I asked Slime and the others to carry the goblin minerals near me.

The goblins also admire the way the slime works as they wave the pickel.

Now you're no longer worried about your feet...

"Okay! We're gonna dig more and more! If you get tired, rest if you want to sleep on your own!

The goblins will respond to my call.

And then for a while, we were supposed to work in mining.

From this day on, the cave became busy at once.
