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

"Hey, what the hell, you old man!?

The humans who came to this island with Layla were pounding their mouths when they saw the mappa waving the hammer at the blacksmith.

"This surprised me... even those giant trees and diverse demons..."

"You weren't just a naked old man who was good at dancing..."

I can't help it.

Mappa is a dwarf, but he looks relatively close to a human.

But the mapper is beating metal with a hammer with speed and accuracy that doesn't seem to belong to the creature.

If you look at this, even those who are not familiar with blacksmiths will feel awesome.

But the humans look a little confused when they see that what could have been done was a bronze statue that exquisitely mimics Mappa himself.

Mappa stood next to the naked statue with a proud face and began to pose in various ways.

Layla, who was watching this, turns to me next door with the same faceless expression as usual.

"There are workers and craftsmen as well as food and weapons. How the hell is this supposed to happen?

There's no clinging, no laughing. You're a really cool kid...

"Right... I guess it's because my crest [Cave King] and this island went well together..."

[Cave King] and Cheol, even if one of them is missing, there shouldn't have been a situation on this island right now.

Or I wouldn't be alive anymore.

Well, I wouldn't have been flown to this island without the crest of [Cave King], or maybe it was fate in a way.

Leila looked at the crest on the back of my hand and shrugged.

"Damn, your crest was ridiculed... even though they thought it was an island that wasn't enough to take a cheol"

"Oh. Something I don't know what will happen..."

"If my father, who is now locked away in the kingdom, finds out, he will surely regret it. that you and I have dissolved our engagement."

From Leila whining so much, I felt a little annoyed.

Listening to her earlier, it does not seem to me that she is willing to save her father, Lord Barleon.

"Don't put it so badly... even if it wasn't your father, you wouldn't have liked to have your daughter engaged to me once"

"Whatever you say, I didn't have eyes to see. I'm going to say a word. But I wasn't wrong. My eyes."

Leila doesn't just want to be strong or make fun of my father.

Her crest is [the prophet].

A seal that can predict the future... Instead of actually knowing in detail what it is, it only seems to know that it is as sloppy as fortune tells it.

But Leila predicted that I would be king in the future.

That means taking over the trail of my father, aside from the other brothers...

I didn't think that was possible, and I didn't.

But I didn't expect to be the head of a country in a different way...

"Well, it's true that Leila's prophecy was a hit in a way..."

"Right? My prophecies come off more often."

Leila herself may only think of her own crest as mere divination.

"Prophecy is prophecy, isn't it? So it's the basement of this island..."

"There must be something amazing buried. Earlier, an old man named Barris told me about the cave."

"Did you even hear that already?

"Yeah. Meet you and the Islanders, and the situation."

Layla is a trustworthy person.

So I told Barris and Riena I wanted her to do a lot of teaching.

"You should continue to dig caves, even if you skip what was decided at the meeting earlier"

"I'm going to do that even if you don't tell me. That's how the island develops."

"Right. I'd love to work with you."

"Oh, even this one will help. But it's like you can do your job on the island..."

"Excuse me. Whether it's farming or mining, I'll do anything. But if there's one thing I'd like to do… I have a proposition for you."

"Proposal?"

"Would you make me a diplomat on the island? Many countries are hostile to the Kingdom of Samphales. Some of them could make me an ally of Cheol..."

"I see... diplomacy..."

It is an island that floats in the sea, so there is no country bordering the border.

However, via the sea, Cheol can trade with a large number of countries.

Also, if the kingdom tries to attack Sheol, if we have allies, we may stay.

Alternatively, when entering into peace and agreements with the kingdom, they may become intermediaries.

"You might indeed need a diplomat... it's just up to everyone on the island to decide who you're going out with. If you want to talk to everyone and make up your mind, I want to leave it to Leila."

Sometimes Leila is a princess, and she has a good face in the continent's social circle.

There is also a certain degree of visibility and authority, formerly the imperial royal family.

More importantly, Layla is always calm and doesn't put her emotions on the table.

As a diplomat, I can say it's a good idea.

Leila snorts at my words.

"I'll take care of it. We'll always get everyone's permission before we negotiate, and we'll keep track of the content and outcome of the negotiations... and we'll build a proper diplomatic department."

"Right. Then don't worry about anything. I'll leave it to Leila."

"Thank you. I'm sure we'll try to build diplomatic relations that will benefit the island."

"Oh, I asked... yes. At this point, I think I'll make a formal decision with the minister."

For once, Barris is the prime minister, Camus is the minister of the navy, and so on.

But you might want to be able to name your country externally as a position more than you name it.

Leila looks over the island and opens her mouth.

"Then you might want to have a dedicated building for each person in charge."

"It's... Barris is making progress with the architecture right now. I'm talking about building a palace, but if Leila needs anything, talk to Barris and Riena."

"Okay. I just had something to discuss with Riena, and I'm just gonna go."

"Ah, oh. Speaking of which, Leila, I'm talking about the engagement..."

You should be clear.

I respect Leila, and I have a thing for her.

But that engagement was decided between the parents.

More, even after looking at things...

But Leila had already walked out with Barris and Riena.

"... well, if you stay with me for a while, you'll reconsider"

I'm an indecisive man, anyway. Besides, it's easy to be flushed by emotions.

On the contrary, Leila is a smart kid who can calmly determine the situation and make a summary decision.

... Me and Leila can be called opposite poles. It doesn't look alike.

With that in mind, I'll get ready to go to the Ryukyun Reservoir.

From this day on, everyone on the island moved to increase the number of "humans” each.

First, Camus will ship out to the Republic of Amoris and prepare to recruit immigrants.

Also, Lil and Mel try to learn the magic of transformation in order to turn into people.

On the other hand, a ship sailed from the harbour of the king's capital toward Sheol.
