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

"So, suppose we start..."

When I got down to the back of the cave, I started swinging the pickel.

The sound of rocks and metal hitting each other echoes in the cave.

"... yeah, still don't calm down when you hear this sound"

Next door, the ciel of the slime nods his body.

Camus came to this island, Leviathan came... and I was chased by every response.

Specifically for future adjustments and for the disposal of the wreckage of the ships on which Leviathan and the Oaks have embarked…

Nevertheless, it has only been about three days since mining was interrupted.

Yet I guess it's been a long time since I felt sorry for myself if I wasn't mining.

But from now on, we can concentrate on mining... should.

Because now that the islanders have exceeded five hundred, I have decided to make provision for heads in each field.

Firstly, the role of leading the island's substantial politics… In the court of the kingdom the task of Prime Minister was left to Barris.

At first, Barris solidified this nomination of mine, but he managed to take it with some voices around him.

A role like that of a judge who solves fine problems, for the time being, Barris also receives.

But the big problem is, you talk to me and everybody and you decide.

Riena is next in charge of food and clothing.

Speaking of kingdoms, will this be the minister of agriculture?

There's more to Riena than that, and she's on my behalf when I'm not on the ground.

If I were king, you could call me vice king or governor.

I entrusted Jerevan with the defence of the island and made him Minister of Defence.

Follow the Golem and island guards and prepare for attacks from outside the island.

Ashton and Haines are responsible for policing the island and hunting such as Killerbird while assisting Yerevan.

I mean arbiters of fights and trouble.

And Camus.

Because Camus is good at handling ships, he puts a wide range of people in charge of matters relating to the sea.

If there is a battle at sea, Camus, not Yerevan, will take command of it.

It's like the Secretary of the Navy, so to speak.

And then, at his own strong request, he also makes a concurrent Cheol Fashion Minister.

As always, Mappa leaves blacksmiths at his disposal.

A silent mappa, but he demonstrates and mentors other demons who blacksmith.

It seems that those who can gradually create quality tools are also showing up.

... or I don't think everyone in charge has changed much since before except Camus...

You don't have to say anything, Taran's yarnmaking, and Ciel keeps hauling.

When it comes to architecture, everyone is asked to consult and make it.

And I... called myself Cave Minister.

As can be seen from the name Cave Minister, it is a vague and appropriate duty to assume various responsibilities in relation to caves.

And, well, now I can focus on mining without worries.

Never because things about the ground are troublesome.

It is the right material.

And if anything happens on the ground, I'm not gonna leave it to you either.

It's just that we're usually talking about doing this.

I shake the pickle well.

"It's been a while since you've been able to mine without any worries..."

If anyone else in the cave is in danger, a golem that can detect magic will protect them.

[Cave King] 's auxiliary effect does not cause me to worry about being particularly depressed.

One concern is that it now takes time to get back to the entrance to the cave?

It takes about fifteen minutes from here.

When we go down, Syels, it's fine because the slime lets us slip on, but the ascent takes time.

Slime or cave spider that mainly puts us all on board, but it's also bad to rush.

It's just that it's reducing the fatigue of everyone's mobility.

It's the carriage that floats first by the means of carrying something.

If we let Roba tow us, we should be able to take the ramp as well...

but it does not exist on this island such as Roba.

The means of travel in the cave will need to be considered a little.

Using crystals and other ores, can't you do something?

Maybe I can borrow the wisdom of Mappa and everyone else.

Or if you get some useful stone...

I kept swinging the pickel as I thought about it.

That's when I hear voices from behind.

"Ah, Master Heels! There he is!

Looking back, there's this short brunette who waves big at me like, "Hey."

For a moment I wanted to ask you which one, but she is a former goblin hule.

Like Riena, Ascension Demon Stone was used to make her look like a human being, so that she could use magic.

He has a long forehead and hidden one eye, but he has a noticeable, neat face, which I'm sure he'll feel unexpectedly.

Nevertheless, I give it back as usual.

"Hoole. What can I do for you?

"Yeah. It's Lil... duh"

When Hoole says so, a white, tiny Cobolt baby lil appears on its shoulder.

My body was small, but I was already standing on two legs.

And in that little hand, this was another adorable little pickle grip.

From me, a pickel the size of a feather pen.

But it's probably made of world-tree branches and misrills, too exquisite to call it a toy.

"Lil, you can stand now. Did you get Mappa to make that?

Lil doesn't snort at my inquiry, but Hoole snorts.

"Mr. Mappa made it for me, but he beat me to the ground all the time when I got it. I was wondering if Mr. Riena could take me to Master Heel."

"Oh well... Lil, so you want to dig a cave?

I don't think I understand words.

But is Lil guessing from the situation, he nods cocklessly?

"... ok. I know it's still a little early, but should I give Lil the benefit of [Cave King] too"

I shake my head, too, and the voice of an advisor sounds on my head.

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

... please.

"Naming complete. I Tamed Lil:

As Tame finishes, Lil glances over the cave in surprise.

Apparently, he's surprised that the Cave King's auxiliary features quickly allowed him to see the white light on the rock wall.

But it was also Hoole who surprised me.

"Huh? Is something getting really bright?

On my head tilting my neck, my advisor continues.

"Because each proficiency exceeds a certain value, increase the Seal [Cave King] to Rank 3."

This goes hand in hand with what I heard before when I taemed Taran the Cave Spider.

And then there's more you can do again?

Upgrade to Rank 3 to improve and expand the effectiveness of [Cave King]:

Oh, so what can you do?

"The effectiveness of the mining aid function has been improved. Even outside the cave, mining optimization will be available:

This means that the white light that we should now dig here in the cave is now visible even outside the cave.

This is certainly useful.

"We will also grant Dark Vision to demons in Tame."

I see, Lil or Hoole is surprised because of the added dark vision feature and brighter vision all at once?

Until now, the only brightness of the luminous stone on the wall has been the brightness like outside, so I can't help but be surprised.

"Apparently, the same thing as my abilities is now available to everyone."

"This is what Master Heel said about dark vision... wow"

"Right? It's like you're out there... anyway, now I don't really have to use Huishi anymore"

Nevertheless, with Huishi, it becomes even brighter.

Huishi himself can be dug well, so let's keep installing him in the cave for Mappa as well.

Well, he comes even in the dark...

Hoole tells me.

"... now we can go further in mining! I'm going to dig in, too."

"Oh well. So, shall we dig together? Lil 'with me."

Hoole nodded cheerfully at me.

"You have to dig something better than before!

"Oh, maybe Hoole, did you fit in for the mining?

"Yeah! You just dig here and you'll be jerking off with all sorts of things. And your father told me he liked you!

"Heh? Do you like it? What's that supposed to mean?

"That naturally means exactly what you say. You look like this, and the king of this island is like a heel, so naturally you want to be liked, don't you?

I mean... you're thinking of me as a marriage candidate?

No, no, there's no way a solid guy like Hoole would look at a pitiful guy like me like that.

But given the meaning of the word, can you only assume that it is?

But I have someone I like...

I turn one face bright red and stand up on the spot.

Hoole, on the other hand, said in his usual tone, "Good luck!" and starts waving the pickel.

And Lil, too, began digging rock walls with small pickels to meet it.

Why don't I do mine while I coach Lil?
