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

The white puppy slept easily at the entrance to the cave.

A puppy may have a few words.

The baby that looks like this puppy is a cobolt.

I've slept well since I finished dinner with Munchkin yesterday.

Ciel in Slime is in bed for me, so it looks very pleasant.

"Cobolt babies are really like puppies"

Riena sitting next to me nodding at my words to rest.

"You've never seen a Kobolt baby before, either. Barris says it's going to grow about the same as the average height of our goblins in a year or so. By then, you'll be able to walk more or less on two legs."

"Heh. I heard that life expectancy is about the same as human life, but it grows a lot faster."

Talking about that, Cobolt's baby opened his eyes.

"Oh, did I wake you..."

Cobolt's baby glances at her surroundings with a sleeping eye.

Then the mappa, who was making something in the near field, gets up and makes it look like a baby when it's done.

Two wooden bars with round balls... definitely an instrument called Maracas.

Mappa began to shake it in front of the baby and show off her strange dance.

Though the baby didn't even notice Mappa's cheerful dance, he seemed intrigued by the sounding Maracas called Shakashaka.

The Mappa one, you could also make an instrument...

That's when Yerevan returns from behind the cave with his own son Hurre.

Apparently, he's back from mining for a break.

"Oh, is the little one up!... Barrel Bee!

Yerevan gives a weird look in front of the baby, sticking her tongue out.

Perhaps you wanted to entertain the baby as Yerevan.

But when the baby saw its face, she cried.

Was Jerevan in a hurry, now I'm going to open my eyes a little.

No, Elevan...... that's counterproductive.

Promise, the baby will cry out loud.

Hoole quickly pulled Jerevan apart.

"Hey, Dad! What are you doing?

"Wow... even when you... ah... no, you made me cry"

"You bet! Because even your father's face is scary!!

To his daughter's words, "Well..." Yerevan drops his shoulder.

Then Taran, the cave spider who was watching from behind, put his face closer and tried to make his mouth look big.

If it was my weird face, I would have thought the baby would laugh...

Naturally, the baby cried to turn away.

Taran looks shocked and solidifies on the spot.

When I gave up my own child, this might have worked...

Riena, who sees it, goes to hold the baby back.

"Both of you, that's what happens because you try to make me laugh... it's okay now, hey"

The baby looked at Riena's face and regained her composure.

smile and laugh, closing his eyes again slowly.

Yerevan watching it pounds Taran's soggy body.

"Taran, let's leave this place to the princess..."

……

Taran nods cocklessly.

"I wonder if we look so scared..."

Yerevan and Taran arm to arm with each other, heading toward the landfill.

They seem a little pathetic, but I guess that's all it takes to give up the baby.

In that regard, should Riena say just fine?

"Riena... I'm sorry, but I'm going mining again. I asked for the outside and the baby."

"Ha, I'll take care of it. When I wake up again, I'll give you dinner."

"Ooh, I asked for it. Let me know if anything happens."

I was going into a cave with a pickel.

A scratchy cobolt and oak corpse flowed to this island yesterday.

It is normal to assume that there has been a naval battle nearby.

Not that I'm worried about going mining in the meantime.

But there is still nothing but mining to enrich this island.

Besides, there are golems and guards on the ground in Riena, where magic can be used.

I'm on alert, and I should concentrate on the mining I'm best at.

I got off about enough, and I started mining again.

Mappa's Mithrill pickles are incredibly diggable.

"... but the crystals are getting worse"

Upon checking the inventory, I notice that Crystals that increase Magic are being picked less often.

I've had enough magic, but I want Riena to have more magic.

Plus, for when Hoole or Barris can use magic...

I can't help it, though.

I might be able to dig something else, something useful...

I shake the pickel silently.

And to some extent digging, muddle the sweat on your forehead, check your inventory and repeat.

Then...

"... the seeds of the world tree?

There was something I had never even heard of.

Apparently, we're digging into something new again.

I don't know what a world tree is, but seeds are definitely plant seeds.

I'll ask my advisor for a commentary.

But...

"Answer not. Ore drawings lack information and cannot be answered:

I mean, you don't specialize in plant seeds?

Well, a seed. It would mean that if you buried it on the ground, it would bloom somehow.

Maybe Barris knows something. When we get back on the ground, let's hear it.

In the meantime, when I was glad I got something new, I tried to shake the pickel again.

That's when I hear voices from behind.

"Hey, heel-sama."

"Oh, Hoole. and…"

Looking back at his voice, there was Hoole.

On its chest, a white puppy...... a Cobolt baby could be held.

The baby looks at this one and it pops right into my chest.

And I've been sliding my head away.

Hoole shrugs as if relieved.

"I knew you were looking for him, Master Heel."

"... Me?

"Yeah. When I woke up, I looked around and looked anxious. I didn't cry because the princess gave up, but I was restless. I thought maybe you were looking for Master Heels."

"I see..."

This nostalgia... maybe you think of me as a parent?

Is it because you first saw my face when you opened the jewelry box?

Barris said he was a Cobolt kid who wasn't even born.

Maybe he didn't even see the face of his real parents and recognized me as a parent...

Even this one, what a soothing thing to do with this adorability.

But I wanted to let my real parents see me if I could...

Considering I put it in a jewelry box and flushed it, this kid's parents are already...

I didn't think so and hugged the baby in my arms.

"Okay, okay, you're a good boy.... Speaking of which, this guy's name"

When I think so, the voice of the advisor sounds.

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

Kobolt was a monster, too.

Tame, this baby will also be given the benefit of [Cave King].

But I still can't let my baby do the mining, so I don't have to take a taste for it now.

Besides, if my parents were still alive...

Just think of the name for now, will Tame drop it off?

I stroked the baby and told Hoole.

"I'll be back on the ground for now. This guy's got to go to bed, too, and I was just about to dig up some plant seeds I'm not sure about, so I thought I'd ask Barris."

"Yes. Then I'll go back to digging!

"Oh, good luck...... yeah?

I come down fast, I notice Miss Lil 'Golem.

Looks like something happened somewhere to see him ring the bell.

"What's up?

To my voice, Mithril Golem pointed straight at the entrance to the cave.

"Outside... is something wrong?

Miss Lil 'Golem snorts.

I was headed upstairs with the baby.

At this time, a confrontation of causes was about to begin in the landfill.
