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

Lord Barleon arrested......

Though the puppet of the Kingdom of Samphales, he is the head of the former empire.

The king does what he thinks is best.

Well, the annexation should have been a matter of time. Because a large part of the Duchy nobility had already gone to King Samphales to greet the New Year, not Lord Barleon.

"Camus, Liena, I'm sorry...... can you show me that?

As I said, Riena blushed and Camus laughed.

"Oh, dear heels. You don't have to be in such a hurry to enjoy yourself later."

"Well, I think that would be nice... this is a little irritating..."

"I don't think so... because there were some interesting words in the headline."

I receive a book from Camus and find a page about Lord Barleon's arrest.

"What... Lord Barleon was arrested the same day because he lodged an objection to the cutting of our king, even less so. I am now locked away in the Wang Du Fangu with my clan..."

For noble crimes, it is normal to have mercy.

Besides, for once, I had a marital relationship with the Royal Family of San Fares, and I don't think I'd take it to life... yeah?

"But only Lady Leila, daughter of Lord Barleon, can't grasp her whereabouts..."

Then there was the name I found out.

"Leila......"

"Leila? Who is that?

Camus peered into the book and asked.

"Uh... oh, he used to play with me. Looks like she's missing."

"Heh, that's tough...... ah! Maybe he's not going to see Master Heel."

"It doesn't..."

True, I think we were close...... I've only seen him a few times though.

"Oh, I can't say enough, can I? Master Heel looks so serious, and he's like a friend..."

"Or, Mr. Camus! Dear Heels...... I hope you are safe with that Laila!

Riena told me to care.

I didn't realize, but I looked worried.

Well, I don't know if I can... for once, Leila's my ex-fiancé.

I do worry about you, but there's nothing I can do about it right now.

The article also said that some family heirlooms had disappeared from Lord Barleon's castle.

I mean, there are assets that we can live with for the moment... and Layla is strong.

I guess it was on the math that she wanted to do something about herself.

"... thanks, Riena. Well, it's about her. I'm sure you'll be fine."

I closed the book and returned it to Camus.

"Anyway. Now the island will be even richer...... First, we'll build a school to teach the demons letters!

"Whoa!"

"Yes!"

When I said it, Riena and Camus responded well.

Now I am the lord of this island. For everyone's sake, we have to work hard.

But essentially the Principality became a kingdom.

The ship of the Duchy of Barleon that came before this...... it is likely that the information on the Cheol grabbed by that ship has already reached the king's ear.

Finally, the ships of the kingdom will come too...

Until then, we just do what we do.

While I was thinking about it, I helped unload it.

That night, a feast was held to celebrate the Camus' return.

Round tables are arranged around giant fireworks lit under the world tree.

On the tabletop, dishes made with Cheol ingredients.

The Kraken meat we defeated today is the main thing.

The Continental liquor brought back by the Camus was also behaved, making it always busier.

"Is this whiskey! Hey, I brought it back!

"Oh, Lord Yerevan, they're already drinking a lot..."

Ashton said that to Yerevan, who drinks whiskey without rest.

"Like this, you can't go in while you're drunk! You like booze, too, don't you? Here, drink!

"I like that... but I want to drink alone..."

"Don't you dare! Every day, I know you're taking wine from the warehouse!

"Ah, Lord Yerevan, that's for sure! But this liquor is a little strong. Drinking strong alcohol makes me..."

Like helping Ashton like that, Hoole says.

"Father! Stop it! Old man, it's round!

"You drink juice, Hoole! Look, Ashton, don't be shy! It's a happy day. Or is that it? My booze..."

Yerevan doesn't even hear Hoole stop, and recommends the cup to Ashton.

Ashton looked anxious but held the cup.

"... so, just one bite"

Oh, don't be shy.

Ashton took a bite, put his mouth on the booze.

But at that moment, his face suddenly turns red, and he plunges into the table.

"Ah, Ashton!? Oh, hey!

Yerevan changed his complexion and tried to shake Ashton's shoulder.

But Ashton licks Yerevan's cheek like that with a pepper.

"Hey, what the fuck, Ashton!?

"... wow. Wow! One, one!

When Ashton barked, he began to lick Yerevan's face open.

Yerevan is pushed down by Ashton.

"Ashton! Hey! What's going on?

"Ah. Did you let him drink? Ah... When he drinks, he becomes like a dog"

Haines, who has taken Kraken apart, said so as he passed by.

Well, watching Lil is like a dog being a Cobolt baby...

Drinking strong alcohol seems to make Ashton look like a child as soon as possible.

"Oh, tell me that first! Oh, hey, Ashton, wake up! Hoole, don't look at me. Help me!

"He deserves it, Dad..."

Hoole was next to Jerevan, eating Kraken's meat skewers.

And well, it's quite busy.

The instruments I brought back from the continent are also played, and I feel nostalgic too.

Camus, who was next to me, shrugged, drinking Cheol's wine.

"... I feel like I'm home."

I pour a small barrel of wine into a cup of Camus, like I would work such a Camus.

"No, really good luck. Not only things, but more people. The island will get busier and busier."

"Right... but it's going to be a problem too... considering what happened while I was gone"

I told Camus earlier about the Camus after they sailed.

That the ships of the Principality have come or that there are ruins of ancient civilization beneath the Cheol.

The Syels are about the survival of that civilization, about the controls.

It is also about the dragon men who tried to conquer the island, Lloydon the Earth Dragon, who visited from underground.

"As for the cave, we're almost there with the controls, so don't worry. I know the Dragonman's Vader Dragon King, but their navy is just a small merchant ship that can manage to sail the coast. You won't be able to send a big army this far."

Camus takes a sip of wine and goes on to say "but".

"But the kingdom navy... they are troublesome. No pirate of the sea knows their name. You know that best."

"Oh. If you mean it, you'll also be able to turn over a thousand fleets..."

"With all that, there's a chance they'll attack us from all directions of the island. Well, to be honest, if Heel and everyone on the island today, I think we can still win..."

I kind of get what Camus is trying to say.

If you fight, you can win.

But just over a thousand fleet opponents will not be caught alive as before.

You'll need to fight for real, and there's no room for captivity in the first place, no space.

"... you fight?

"I think if we're going to protect everyone, we have to stop... and of course, we're going to negotiate. There's plenty of gold and silver, so you can pay taxes. But I'm not going to make any concessions unless there's a promise of autonomy."

"Yes... I'm relieved. Either way, we need to reinforce the Navy so we can prevent them on the water. I've brought in a couple of skilled sailors, and it'll be easier to train."

"Oh, please. If you can see with your eyes that you have a lot of military power, the kingdom shouldn't be forced to set you up either."

"That's why you made such a giant golem. I don't know why Mappa is the model..."

"It's... a lot of things"

"... at all. Normally, you should make me this beautiful... you'll need me next."

That's what Camus says, cheeky Kraken meat skewers.

If I was who I was before, I would have felt intimidated by what it looked like to be no less than Yerevan...

Now, you look somewhat closer to a goddess... that's going to be a good landmark though.

When I'm thinking about that, Camus dyes his cheeks.

"also, Dear heels...... me if they send such a hot gaze"

"Yes, no, I didn't mean to..."

"You haven't forgotten my wish, have you? I won't let you sleep today."

"... right! Have as much fun as you want today! Look, there's still wine."

I poured some wine into the Camus cup.

"Oh, dear heels! Sweet! Oh, and I'll have a drink today!

When Camus rises, those around him drink even more.

Thus did I intoxicate Camus and escape his ordeal.

Smell me I was in bed with Camus the next day...
