When the Kobolts finished their meals, I decided to hear from Ashton and Haines.

Why did you have to come to the sea like this?

"Oh, you've all been burned home..."

Riena, listening with me and Barris, shrugged with a dark face.

Ashton asked back:

"If so, the Berdans were also burned home by Goefel orcs..."

"Yes...... the house and the woods were burned everything. I also lost my father, the king, and all my mothers and brothers..."

"Oh my... that would have been hard"

Ashton also clouded his expression again.

The Ashtons. The Tiberis, like the Rienas. The Berdans, apparently burned their homeland by a part of an oak called the Gophers.

I asked Ashton this.

"That's a terrible story... so you're saying that the Ashtons were chased by that Goefel tribe and came this close?

"No, the Gophers are basically unable to handle ships. On land, they were chased by the Gophers, but on the sea, they were attacked by their allies, the Corbas."

"Corvus... I've heard of you too"

It is true that the trade ships of the Kingdom of Samphales are also attacking, it is about the Pirates of Oak.

It is made up of all skilled sailors and is famous as a mercenary because he is accustomed to naval warfare.

There were times when the Samphales Navy embarked on a crusade, but they took a hand in the escape all the time and couldn't sink a single ship.

"Those guys might still be nearby... you're gonna need to be more vigilant"

Barris nods in my voice.

"Now let's make a" or something "and also increase our watch.... but Lord Ashton. Where were you going to escape to the sea?

"It's … on a new continent"

"Well, did you? The Berdans were looking for a new continent."

"Oh my... So the Berdans have the same inheritance?

"The forgotten continent of the South… The eagles called it the Golden Land"

"Was I? We call the reed-growing plains and the southern continents."

The conversation between the two of them made me wonder.

When Barris and the Goblins arrived, I thought I had avoided the coast, which was full of Kingdom ships, and had come to the south once.

But Barris and the others have apparently thought there was a continent in the South.

But south of this Cheol...

"I... No, if you're a human child, I can teach you that south of this Cheol are waterfalls like Naruto.... Well the truth is that there are waters where the waves are very high and the ships can't get through. Either way, I never heard of a continent."

"The eagles were talking about mythology, but they just went out into the ocean to bet."

"Neither did our Tiberis... but only Her Majesty did not doubt that there was earth to the south"

Both Barris and Ashton seemed half-hearted.

Still, we went south, probably because we came to the conclusion that not only did we not have our own residence on the continent of Burleon, where we had lived until now, but also on the eastern and western continents.

Ashton trembles his voice.

"But this is how the earth was in the south... and the queen was not wrong."

Sure, it's not wrong, but it's something that had a lot of tiny earth...

If the queen were alive, she'd say it wasn't what she thought......

Well, we haven't decided yet that there's no new continent to the south.

Aside from that, I can also say that the Kobolts have grown and this island has become relatively tiny.

"Let's say we make the queen's grave later, too. Come on, we have to make the tomb of the remains of the entrance too... oh, we should have dug the room where Kobolt sleeps before that, in the cave"

Um, don't do too much.

There will be other things you have to do...

Riena said I was upset.

"Dear heels...... you don't need heels to do everything alone. If you give us simple instructions, we'll do it."

"The princess is right. The tools are satisfactory, and we'll take care of the room and the grave. It's going to be a great opportunity for the Kobolts to learn how to mine."

To Barris's voice, Ashton and Haines also nod.

"Our brothers, of course, with the Tiberis, have already dedicated their allegiance to the Lord Heel. Order this Ashton and Haines to do something."

Kobolt's baby put his face out of my chest, too, and you wouldn't know very well, I let him raise his hand.

"Everybody..."

When I came to this island, I was alone.

That skinned Ciel the Slime, so many more Islanders...

Honestly, I'm glad about that.

Tears of joy, I snort.

"Thanks...... then, Barris. Firstly, would you, with Ashton and Haines, plan on creating a cave room?

"Whatever you say. Now let's go see Lord Ashton, Lord Haines, and the cave."

"" Ha!

Ashton and Haines bowed their heads to me before heading to the cave with Barris.

"So, Riena has one important favor to ask... and I need you to raise her with me."

In my words, Riena blushes.

Huh? There was an element of shyness in my words now...?

"Wow, I want to grow up with Master Heels too!! immature, but I'll do my best!

"I don't have to think that hard... so this is it..."

I put a big seed out of my trouser pocket for a plant.

As soon as possible, Riena's face regains calm.

"... what is it, this?

"It's a seed of a tree called the World Tree. I want you to grow this with me. You'd have kept the solar stone in Riena, wouldn't you?

Promotes plant growth, solar stone.

I don't have many, so I'm just going to use one.

... Is that it?

I looked as if Riena had stopped for a moment.

But Riena slaps her bread and her own cheek and immediately returns to her usual serious face.

"The World Tree...? That's the first time you've heard that."

"Barris says it's a very large tree that brings some benefit to the organism... well, it's a tree I'm not sure about."

"I see. Anyway, you mean no harm? Then maybe you could bury it and see what it looks like. But the fields are all buried now..."

Riena glances around the landfill.

"We have dirt, so can we go somewhere that looks good?

"Right..."

Where would you like it?

Build a city around trees...

The landscape will be good too.

"Well, in the middle of the landfill... no, wait"

But what is a very large tree, how big is it...

If it's too big, you can't see the ocean from the cave.

Doesn't mean it doesn't look good, I just want to avoid bad views when someone gets here.

"... In the meantime, I'll try to build land on the back of the island. So let's see how it goes."

"Yes, I did!

I'll cave in and make my way to the back of the island.

And from there, as before, they made stone from the inventory, and they made landfills.

The number of cobolts has increased, and at this time, they are the same size as before.

This one, however, forms a heightened base that can withstand a large tsunami from the surface of the sea to 10 m.

Naturally, the time it took was doubled, and almost in the evening, it was finally completed.

Unlike mining, this one doesn't use so much health, so is it good not to get tired?

But it consumed a lot of rock.

The rocks are kind of useful, so they need to be replenished immediately.

This should focus on mining again for a while.

"All right, why don't we bury it quickly? I wonder if it's okay in the center."

"Yes! Let's go then"

We head to the center of the newly created landfill.

And so, the soil... laid down the ○ of Cave Spider.

"Don't be buried with this... yeah?

I felt some sign later.

Naked old man...... mappa.

I was looking at a place to bury a tree, with no eating face.

Trying to do something new always shows up from somewhere.

Well, I don't mind...... I'm surprised, so I'd like you to at least call me something.

"Well, I'll bury it..."

I quickly buried the seeds of the world tree.

From here, let's try one solar stone.

But...

"Is that it? It's small, but you're sprouting already. Did they use solar stones?

"No... I'm not using it. I left all the solar stones with Riena. Riena's the one who didn't use it?

"No, me too... now, I've only brought one from the warehouse that I haven't used yet"

Riena shows me the sunset stone.

This is a glow I haven't used yet. I'm not dull.

Suppose...

I turned to the rear mappa.

But Mappa doesn't say I'm not either, he waves his hands in front of his chest.

"... is that true? You often take the stone at will..."

Well, but what Mappa says may be true.

I have nothing in my hands, and I can only hide something at the tip of that short hipster.

"Well no...... Riena, would you try solar stone for now?

"Yes! Bye."

Riena raises her solar stones high and uses them.

Then, the world tree stretches out, beyond the back of the mappa, beyond my back...

...... yeah? Is something wrong?

I don't see any signs that growth will stop.

You've already grown twice my height.

The trunk spread further and further, and we lagged behind unexpectedly.

"Oh, hey, Riena. Are you sure there's only one solar stone?

"Ha, yes...... sure, that's all"

Even as we shook our voices, the trees were getting bigger and bigger.

"Not good!! Run to the cave!!

I pulled Riena's hand and looked back.

The mappa was already running out, so we can do everything we can.

But in retrospect, there's a tree that expands beyond our speed...

It's us escaping in a heartbeat, but Mappa slipped my leg.

A tree trunk that expands quickly takes in Mappa's body.

Mappa reaching out, but I'm desperate to run, too.

"Mappa ahhh!!!

Even as I screamed, the mappa rose high, peeking only at his somewhat comfortable face from the world tree.
