"... of course. I'll dig."

When I answered, Ciel laughed.

"... you didn't even have to ask"

"Well, it's like heels are worth living for."

That's what Hoole said slightly too.

"You guys, call people mining idiots! Well, I can't help it if you say..."

It is true that mining is viable.

And even if Ciel hadn't asked me to, I would have kept digging.

But by digging like this, I rather had another concern.

It is about digging the remains and fishing there without the forgiveness of those who have lived in this basement before.

I asked Ciel.

"... but are you sure you want to keep digging like this?

"Yeah, that's what we want too"

That's what Ciel said, floating a sphere of light in front of me.

The light eventually turns into a tree branch-like shape.

"... What's this?

"It's a map of our city, before the meteorite fell. I think it's changed a lot nowadays, and in the first place, there were places where there was no passage from the beginning and a transfer stone was needed to travel."

"Transfer Stone...... Oh, you mean the stone I got at this previous winery"

Indeed, it is a stone that can be moved between metastatic stones.

"Yes, in doing so we were moving through this narrow mountain. And can you see the bottom part?

To Ciel's voice, I look at the bottom part of the 3D.

There are plenty of passages and huge spaces.

"Here, a large part of our population existed. There's also a city control device."

"Control devices?

"Yeah. There's also a device there that manipulates all the golems in the city and thaws our frozen preserved bodies"

"Then so does Ciel's body..."

"Yes, the body itself is in this tombstone, but if you push the device there...... but nothing. We don't mind staying like this. I just want to say that unless we do something about the device there, the golems in the basement will continue to attack Master Heel."

"I see... but how come the golem here"

I saw a golem waiting along the wall, and I asked.

"This place prohibits any act of combat. Anyway, if you're going to keep digging, I think it's safe to head to that controller first."

"Okay. As for the location… it's further down."

"Yes, it would have been easier if the stairs had been safe...... I looked in the ground too but it seems to be crumbling"

"Okay...... and I wanted to ask, is Taran acquainted?

"Yep. When I met you, I think it was smaller... but here as the last fortress of various species, there were also non-human dwellings"

"I see. So Taran was a survivor of that era, too"

As I said, Taran shook his body tight and vertical.

"Yes... about that, but as far as I can tell, you were all peaceful. But what's going on over the years..."

Tarran and the others, Cave. Spider didn't attack me when he met me.

But isn't that what we all are?

"You mean sometimes you get attacked when you see him... ok"

"I'm sorry. I don't know anything about it nowadays... or anything that would help..."

"I'm fine. And it's my pleasure to dig..."

If I'm digging, I have an unknown discovery. That's my pleasure.

Well, I hate to fight...

"Pfft. I thought Master Heel would say that. Ah... I think I'm running out of magic to talk to you about..."

Gradually surrounded by light, Ciel brings his transparent hands closer to my right hand.

"Dear Heels... please let me stay with you"

When Ciel was completely in the light, he eventually returned to his usual body of slime.

"Ciel...... oh, keep it up"

To my voice, Ciel jumped.
