Digging?


“Alright~! Let’s proceed to our destination and dig up everything!”

Morgan, who was fully enthusiastic all of sudden, started walking so we followed after him .

“”Ah!””

Then, Allen and Elena immediately found something and ran a little ahead .

After squatting about five meters in front of Morgan-san, they picked up something and happily returned .

“”Onii~chan . ””

“Allen found something orchid-like~”

“Elena you see, I found a daylily-like flower~”

“You found it well in the dark~”

“”Saw it~””

Even though I illuminate the surroundings with Light, it’s still dark five meters ahead . Even so, Allen and Elena found medicinal plants, so they ran ahead . The two seem to see well in the dark .

“Allen, Elena, you are fine to go gathering, but you mustn’t go to places we can’t see you from . ”

“”Okayy~””

This time, we are not able to choose the destination on our own, so I advised the children to be careful where they go .

“This way . ”

That being the case, we proceeded under Morgan-san’s lead and passed through the fence labeled A-2 .

“Alright, let’s start digging around here . ”

“”Digging~””


“Here lad, you guys use these . ”

Morgan-san took out small pickaxes and handed them to Allen and Elena . He said that he would lend me mining tools, but it seems that he has prepared some for the children too .

“Is this fine, Morgan-san?”

“What is?”

“No, I did not think too much about borrowing tools from you, but they must be very important to you, no? We really are amateurs, after all . ”

Tools are important to the craftsmen, no? You wouldn’t usually lend these things to kids, right?

I’ve heard that swordsmen don’t lend their swords to others… I imagined that craftsmen would be even more concerned about their tools .

“Hahaha~ I would refuse if I didn’t want to lend you any, so be at ease! Those are tools the apprentices use, so there’s no problem . ”

I see, they are tools to lend to the apprentices . I can feel better about it then .

“Thank you very much . We will be borrowing them then . ”

“”Do my best~””

“Ou, work hard! I won’t mind if you dig up the big game, alright!”

… Morgan-san’s expectations are growing .

Well, Allen and Elena are totally willing, and I would also like to see what we can find~

“Now then, Allen, Elena, where would you like to dig first?”

“”Hmm, you see, over there~””

“Roger that, over there it is . ”

“”Yeah!””

Morgan-san already started working, so we decided to start digging too .

“Using all of your strength when digging would be dangerous, so you have to dig little by little, okay?”

“”Got it~””

I don’t really know where to look for minerals, so I decided to leave it to instincts first .

“”Ei!””

When Allen and Elena swung their pickaxes enthusiastically——crack, the surface rock crumbled .

“Right, just like that . Carefully . ”

“”Yess~””

I did not feel a hazard in the children’s work, so I decided to dig too .

“”Nniyu?””

“N? What’s the matter?”

Not a long time after they started digging, Allen and Elena let out weird voices .

Therefore, when I looked at the two, I could see a whitish lump mixed within the gray of the crumbled rock .

“Uoh! They really dug up Mithril!”

Noticing Allen and Elena’s reaction, Morgan-san swiftly ran over .

“”Misril?””

“Right, it’s Mithril!”

“”Amazing~?””

“It is amazing! I haven’t gotten any Mithril recently, so I had to settle for iron these days! You really did well!”


“”Ohh~””

Morgan-san explained in excitement .

“Dig more where this came out from! More Mithril may come out!”

“”Okay~””

The children and Morgan-san were now happily digging together .

Somehow… they become close without I noticed .

“The Old man is unusually lively today~”

Rudolph-san who was watching the surroundings came over to me, apparently finding Morgan-san’s state curious .

“Is that so?”

“Oh yeah, he’s normally the ‘work in silence’ type of guy . ”

“He must be the opposite of what he usually is then . ”

The current Morgan-san was digging while conversing with Allen and Elena happily .

“That’s right . I have been to the mines with the Old man many times, but this is my first time seeing him like that . Still… you guys really did dug out Mithril . ”

“Nono, I had nothing to do with that, okay!?”

“If the pipsqueaks do something, you have to take collective responsibility, Takumi . ”

“Ehh!?”

He’s intending me to take responsibility for what the children do . However, that’s only when they make a mistake or cause trouble, right? This time is completely different, right!?

“”Something came out~””

While my hands were stopped because I was talking with Rudolph-san, Allen and Elena apparently dug out something again .

This time, rather than Mithril, it seemed like a whitish gem .

“Lemme see? Ohh, it’s Platinum ore!”

Morgan-san spoke before I could appraise it .

Platinum ore…? Not White Gold?

“Morgan-san, isn’t something very similar used to make coins?”

“N? Yeah, I’ve heard that there are white coins which are very rare . They are called White Gold coins if I am not mistaken . Unfortunately, this is not White Gold . ”

It’s platinum then . Well, either way, I imagine it can be used to make jewelry .

“There is . ”

“Whitish~”

“Mithril!?”

After that, Allen and Elena dug up some Mithril and even some small crystals .

“At any rate, digging up one after another, this is really incredible . I wonder if I should bow my head and give some offerings?”

O, offerings… entreaty to a deity, you mean? Ah, but, worshipping Allen and Elena might have a plausible effect . They are a god’s children, after all . Well, they are not the children of Earth God that is related to mining, but the Water God, though~

“”What is it~?””

“Just a don’t knock it until you’ve tried it, type of thing . You guys don’t mind me . ”

“”… Okay~?””

——Oi! Morgan-san, you really are worshipping them!?
