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

"Dear Heels. Also those guys."

"Oh...... but that's odd"

The Golems just align themselves along the wall and watch over us, nothing.

"Unless we do nothing, we're not doing anything? Yeah?"

Ciel was alone, heading to the cemetery.

And it will be a little high, in front of a big tombstone, just a puffy tremor.

Seeing how it goes, there's no way the Golems will come up with anything.

"What do you mean? Is there something in that headstone?"

I go to Ciel with Taran and Hoole, wary of the Golem.

"Ciel, you know this place?

Ciel answered me nothing and touched the headstone as it was.

Then, a dazzling light emanates from the tombstone.

I closed my eyes for a moment.

But when I slowly open my eyes...

There was such a beautiful woman to behold as a goddess.

Long, bright, glossy blonde hair with golden bristles.

And like a sapphire...... no, I'm tired of seeing sapphires already. He had blue eyes, reminiscent of the ocean exposed to the sun.

Years are, yeah, no different than mine. Should be in my late teens. But I don't have the same adult character.

The blue dress you are wearing is not so different from the style of the kingdom.

But the garment was so extravagant and unparalleled to that of the kingdom.

Just like I dug in this cave, all the gems are scattered everywhere.

Lifting the hem of the dress with both hands, the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared bowed her head to me.

"Hello, Dear Heels"

"Here, here, here, here."

Seen in its beauty, I accidentally chewed on the greeting.

"Easy to understand..."

From behind, Hoole leaks a whisper, but returns a hello to the beautiful woman's voice, "Hoole, Taran," as well.

"This is the first time you've seen me… I'm the one you've been calling Ciel from day to day"

"Huh? Is that Ciel?

What do you mean? Next to a beautiful woman, there's a proper, puffy, shivering ciel.

"Yep. I hope it's Ciel and not Ciel...... Either way, Slime and I here are already one mind at a time. However, my usual thinking and judgment are slime… I am always bothering you"

I shook my head to the side.

"No way! Always very helpful..."

The beauty laughed at me unexpectedly that she was Ciel.

"... It's kind of weird, isn't it? We sleep together all the time and we take a bath..."

"Ah... oh, I'm sorry!

I immediately bowed my head deeply.

I always had every corner of my body washed or replaced with pillows...... for a kid like this.

Of course they were watching me naked. Who did it? Ciel cleaned it all up.

I was about to boil my head on the spot, but Ciel continued.

"There's nothing to apologize for!... always love me and I appreciate it so much... and the smell of heels... ah!

I'm about to fall pretentiously, but Taran and Hoole supported me in the back.

People and Ciel in Slime were trying to get closer to me.

I'll put myself back in position and tell Ciel.

"Oh, I'm sorry... so... how did Ciel end up like that? Or what about here?

"You did. Let me start by… introducing myself briefly"

Ciel continued with a slightly lonely face.

"My original name is Sierra. My name is Sierra Velour, although I was heartily surprised by the similarity to the siel I received from Master Heel. However, as always, I don't mind Ciel."

"If that's all right... I'll let you call it what it is"

"Thank you. … and I was once the empire of Velua… the emperor."

"Ko, Emperor?!

No, from what Ciel looks like right now, nothing strange about being in that capacity.

"Yes... Nevertheless, the emperor who is only named Empire... Velour was an empire of the dead"

"Is that like being attacked by another country or something?

"No. At its peak, Velour had dominated all parts of this world. There was no other country but Velour, and there was no enemy."

"Then why?

"There was once an endless winter era in this world. Now it seems to be over, but Velua was abruptly debilitated in those days, and only the imperial capital Velua, which was here in late life, remained civilized".

I see.

So this Cheol was part of a superpower in an era we didn't know about?

The remains belonged to that era.

"Outside we were too cold to live, and thus we moved our dwellings into the mountains of central Teito, which are now the bottom of the ocean. Even without the sun, we had the technology to produce food…"

Right, was the solar stone a stone for that?

That has the power to grow plants.

"But it cannot be produced in large quantities… so we have decided to preserve our previous bodies frozen and allow our own souls to coexist in this slime, which only requires water to sustain life"

The priest preaches that the soul is what dwells in the body, and that when the creature dies, its soul falls out of the body.

"I see... I mean, you and the soul of the original Slime coexist in Ciel of Slime?

"Yes, and the body's lead lies in the original slime. So I'm Ciel, not Ciel."

"Is that what happened? But how could it be in the ground?"

"It... one day a meteorite fell on this land... a giant rock. As a result, the facilities in the mountains were destroyed and the corridors blocked… We could only wander the earth like water."

You're treading and kicking...

In other words, the cold continued the murders, making them even more uninhabitable outside and losing their bodies, but the mountain, which was the last fort, was also crushed by meteorites.

"And about 10,000 years to keep waiting...... the light appeared there. That's the heel. It was you."

Don't exaggerate the light...... but 10,000 years.

In the meantime, all the way in the dark...... I would definitely go crazy.

Ciel shines her eyes and takes my hand.

But the hand slips through. Of course, it's not even warm. There is no entity.

"Thanks to you, many of our compatriots who are with us in slime and soul have also been saved. But many of my countrymen are still asleep..."

Ciel shook her voice.

"Dear heels, I have a favor to ask. It's awe-inspiring on my servant's part, but why don't you free our compatriots from eternal darkness?

I just snorted at the favor.
