"... yeah?

Hoole, who mine next to me, shrugged.

When I stopped and turned around too, Hoole was staring at the new pickel.

This pickel, made by Mappa, has a head made of misrills and a pattern made of branches of the world tree.

The world tree that grew yesterday... we investigated the leaves and branches falling from it.

The leaves have been shredded and I am checking to see if Barris is a medicine.

The other branch could see its lightness just by holding it.

Now, knocking it on a rock won't break it...... on the contrary, it won't cut it with an iron axe, enough that it could finally be processed with a mythrill axe or knife.

Much remains to be known about the world tree, but the most knowledgeable Barris has also been entrusted with subsequent investigations.

Meanwhile, we are mining to replenish the rocks we consumed in large quantities in the past, in addition to testing Pickel with the World Tree.

"What's up, Hoole? Did something happen to that new pickel?

"No... I don't think I'm tired at all. I've already started digging for an hour, but you're not tired at all compared to the previous one..."

"Heh... if you ask me, I feel like that too..."

Like Hoole, I also use a Mithril pickel with a world tree in the pattern.

The previous one was lighter and easier to use, both the pattern and the one made of misthrills, but now I feel that it is easier to grip for what is made of wood.

But I don't really feel tired, as Hoole said.

Because I barely felt fatigued anymore, even at the previous pickel.

The other thing I found out in the branches of the world tree is that it entails magic.

Maybe it contains something other than magic that has a healing effect.

Made our minds crazy yesterday, golden powder... it's not hard to imagine, considering that it had a kind of healing effect too.

I called out to Yerevan waving a pickel next to Hoole to hear more of my thoughts.

"Yerevan. How about you?

"If you ask me, I might be... well, the terms are the same"

Yerevan waved down the pickel again, a little concerned about something.

I tilted my neck on what terms, but Hoole pulled my hem and complained about something with her gaze.

At the end of Hoole's eyes were Ashton and Haines.

This brother, too, is waving a pickel together.

"I see..."

It's what I said about digging a lot of rocks, so it looks like Yerevan's burning up his confrontation with those two.

Though Ashton and Haines are doing their best at the time, they don't seem to be trying to beat Yerevan in particular.

Well, it's not like anyone's gonna get hurt, that's all right...

You're welcome to compete like this.

"Anyway, it's forbidden to impose because you're not tired. Look, Hoole."

"Yeah!"

So we went back to mining.

But after a while, I hear an unpleasant noise coming from my lower back.

Sounds like something broken...

At the same time, your lower body cools down slightly.

Apparently, the inseam of his pants has been torn...

Well, naturally because this is all moving.

"... Hoole. I'm gonna go to the ground a little bit."

"Yeah? Anything wrong?

"No, I'm a little hungry. If you need anything, let me know."

"Yeah, roger that."

I walked weird enough to get to the entrance to the cave.

Then, just outside work, Riena was working with the Kobolts somehow.

Riena immediately noticed me and came this way.

"Dear heels, good job. Would you like to eat?

"Oh, no... hey, it's hard to say..."

Riena asks strangely.

Nevertheless, it's about Riena who can reveal this.

"My pants are torn... sorry, can you fix them with some cloth..."

"Did you! That was just fine!

"Just?"

"Yes! As a matter of fact, I was teaching the Kobolts earlier how to skin a killer bird! We Beldans weren't very good at processing the beast skin...... anyway, we just had a very good fabric!

"I see..."

I look at the clothes that Kobolt is wearing.

Cobolt wore something not so different from human-made leather goods.

Ashton and Haines' leather armor was also, on second thought, a great deal more splendid.

Perhaps excellent dyeing techniques as well as machining.

"I made some clothes to try. So, where did it tear?

Riena bends her knees and glances at my hips...

I got kind of very embarrassed and I accidentally held my pants down.

Riena looks up at me and tilts her neck.

"No, I'll take it off and give it to you."

"Yes, I did!

With that said, Riena stands by in front of my waist with a smile.

No... I'm having a hard time taking it off...

Nevertheless, I'm just gonna take my pants off, okay...

If you look like my underwear, Riena has seen it many times.

I then unloaded my pants.

But at that moment, Riena's face turns bright red.

Huh...?

I laid eyes on my lower body.

Then my underwear was... splendidly ripped in front of me.

The one that was torn was apparently underwear too...

I exposed myself in front of Riena where I didn't want to show her.

"Ah... sorry!!

I accidentally hid my front with one hand and put my pants on with the other.

I don't think I've ever been in such a hurry.

Bring it on, I can't wear my pants well.

You guessed something, the ciel of slime that always followed me, walled me to blindfold me in front of my lower body.

Riena remains blushed and desperately shakes her neck to the side.

"Hey, hey, what are you apologizing for!... Here, here, at this time, we'll make you something new with pants and underwear!!

That's what Riena said and rushed back to the workplace where Cobolt was located.

Already, Cobolt seemed to make clothes made from skins.

Cave Spider's spider yarn also seems to go hand in hand for a long time.

Rather than...... I did.

Now it's like you're with Mappa...

For once, I wanted to preserve my majesty as a lord...

As I was dropping my shoulder, someone slapped a pom on my back.

Looking back, it was Mappa who was there.

Don't let it bother you, does that mean?

No, even if the old man with the naked upper body tells me...

"... yeah? It..."

I peek through the gap in Mappa's hipster and notice something.

Mappa noticed my gaze, slammed up his hipster and showed it off.

... there was a glossy brown leather underwear.

It's a mappa that boasts of new underwear, but it's tough and makes me want to look away.

Apparently, the Kobolts made it for me.

You mean I'm wearing underwear...

I felt a mysterious sense of defeat, and suddenly I was embarrassed, wearing the hipster that was there, and going back to the cave.

When I get back, Hoole asks me.

"Ah, Master Heels! Have you eaten yet?

"Oh, yeah..."

…… Yes... "

Hoole cared about my hipster, but she didn't ask me anything more.

When you forget something, it's still best to shake a pickel.

I went right back to mining.

On the way, Hoole throws these words at me.

"Dear heel of the day, you're fast paced"

"Really?

"Yeah... I can't lose this..."

Hoole waves the pickel, as if she responds to me too.

That was the time.

Where I dug, I saw a little hole.

From that hole, there is a shabby burst of liquid that has some hot air.

This is...

"What is this... a hot spring?!

Hoole, yes, raised her voice unexpectedly.

We apparently dug into the hot springs.
