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

Mappa goes through the cave to the other side of the island, toward the world tree.

Through the cave, I saw a section with hot air.

After all, it looks like the hot springs that were built near the world tree have been completed.

As we approach, we see hot water stretched out in the recesses where the rocks are laid.

Lil, who was in my pocket, got the egg I got earlier and went down.

Apparently, he cares about the hot springs.

Riena, who was watching the hot springs nearby, sees it and notices my presence as well.

"Ah, Lil. And Master Heels! I've been waiting for you!

With Riena, Barris, who was talking to Goblin nearby, comes to me.

"Both of you wait. Hot Springs, you're done."

Riena nods well.

"Yes! At first, after all, I wanted to ask Master Heel to come in"

"Am I the first? No, I'm glad..."

To my voice, Barris answered:

"I just finished putting up some hot water. Please don't hesitate to come in."

Even though it's still noon, my body sweats.

I appreciate being refreshed.

Moreover, there is a spectacular view of the world tree and the ocean as far as you can see in front of it.

Taking a bath in front of this view would feel good too.

But if you return the back, you can see it round from all directions.

You can't be naked in a place like that...... Huh?

My body hardens for a moment to Riena trying to take off her clothes.

but I immediately said, "Wait! shouted."

"Dear heels, what is wrong with you?

"No, thanks for everything... are you going to come in with Riena?

"No way. I'm not going in. All I do is clean your heel body!

That's no different from coming in with me...

No, I appreciate the sentiment, but it doesn't change my sanity.

To discipline myself, I answered:

"... thanks, Riena. I'm glad to hear it, but I'm fine."

"Huh? Does Master Heel take a bath without washing his body?

"Yes, no, I'll wash my body, too, and then I'll come in. I mean, I can wash my body by myself."

That's exactly what I say, pretending to be calm.

I'm a little sorry to hear that, Riena, but the pity is that I'm the same... No, as a lord, I can't show you a face that stretches any further under my nose.

For the demons, hot springs are a mixed bath, and even if it's normal to be open like this, I'm human.

I'm going to be really aware of Riena.

Then Barris next door told me.

"I see... So let's see if the eagle flushes his back?

"Is Barris here?

An unexpected offer from Barris surprises me.

Barris' face is serious.

No, I don't...

Of course, I know Barris doesn't care about that.

"Yes, because some men will make you wash them, not women."

I see...... you both think it's normal for someone in a noble capacity to wash your body.

That was true in human society as well.

All the royalties and nobles of the Kingdom of San Phares let someone wash their bodies before bathing.

Not only that, but there are people nearby who serve alcohol, eat, and play music, so they never bathe alone.

When I was a little girl, I had my servant wash me too... but when I realized it, I was getting cold when I asked him to do it himself.

So I was washing myself when I took a bath.

Anyway, I guess the ruling class customs are similar to those of the goblins. They have two hands and two feet at a time, just like humans.

"Can't you do it with the eagle? If you can't, I'll call the others."

"Yes, no, not like that..."

From earlier on, there's a reason I can't be strong.

I haven't argued much about what I want to do on this island or in court.

He wasn't the father to forgive selfishness.

But...... it would be a problem not to insist too much on yourself.

It's not a big deal about bathing, and do you want to be honest here?

"Um... I'd like something like a wall if I could. You're embarrassed to be naked in your gaze... basically, when humans do something naked, they do it secretly."

I meant to talk about it as a human general theory, but it's kind of become a profound way of putting it...

Riena and Barris will look angry at my confession.

And after the two of us looked at each other, we nodded as if we were convinced of something.

Barris answers me.

"I see, that's what happened! I apologize for not knowing."

"I have nothing to apologize for. Everyone can stay put. But I'll be on the wall later, will you let me surround a part of it?

"No, Lord Heel. That's not true. Architecture is the property of the eagles. Make sure you have a bath dedicated to heels."

"No, no, no, I'm sorry."

Getting something done for personal hope is kind of bad.

But Riena shakes her neck to the side.

"Dear Heels. We are always helped by Master Heels. Let us, too, work for Master Heels!

"Riena...... ok. Please."

Riena nods happily to my voice, "Yes."

"Even so, it's fine with a really simple wall. I don't even need a ceiling."

"Yes, I did! Please, leave it to us!

That's what Riena left behind, heading with Barris to a place of materials.

Well, I said I'll take care of the ground.

For that matter, I'll do my best in the basement for everyone.

Besides, I don't care who gets into the hot springs first.

If you're strong, all you deserve is a mappa who pulled hot water... but you're already in there.

I find a mappa lying on my back in a hot spring.

How pleasant that sounds...

If you were showing off your nakedness first like a mappa, I guess you wouldn't care about anything.

I don't know, I'm not gonna be the kind of guy who exposes his ass to everyone... whoa.

I'm near the mappa, and I notice a lil floating around to imitate it.

I didn't know I was going to take a bath anymore, even though I wasn't even born yet.

Barris told me that mining and good learning skills are high.

Looking closely, Lil holds the egg she dug out earlier on her stomach, looking important.

You left it with me, but maybe you liked that egg after all.

Well, it's like Lil found it, and you can make it whatever you want... Huh?

I look at the eggs. I try to make my eyes punch a few times.

Looks like the eggs are moving perfectly right now...... no, it would be Lil's belly movement.

It was buried in the ground like that. There's no way it's a live egg.

I shook my head to the side and followed the spa.
