Part 1
The mine of Eigen.
Despite the three of us, namely Ruu, Drai and I, continuing to loiter around looking for something, we still couldnt find anything.
KII! KII!
WOWIs that a bat!?
Moreover, theres lots of them
Group of bats suddenly started to fly when were walking. Though were holding our head down, we cant do too much.
Rather, theyve come to attack us.
Scatter Scatter
Its extremely irritating when theres almost no damage.
Im trying to randomly shoot magic arrow.
KII.
Ah, it hit.
It seems it landed on the unconcious one. The matter of combat against monsters has already ingrained deeply into my body and Im about to transform into a slightly dangerous man. Now focus, keep your focus.
Nonetheless, maybe because their allies had got scared, the surviving bats escaped to a deeper place. It seems that my achievement has been acknowledged by them for the time being.
Ooh, nice, Eiji!
Fuu, its rare for a lot of them to come in flocks like this. Could it be that Eiji-san and Ruu-san’s blood’s delicious?
Ahaha.
The bats here are edible
Drai started to dispose off the bats while saying those words.
But, I felt like running back as I had a bad premonition on seeing that. If I remember correctly, didnt those bats have a lot of parasites and others microorganisms on them .
Some varieties can’t be eaten. But, this is the kind that is being consumed right from the past.
Drai said that as if guessing what I am thinking. Perhaps, the people that come to this village often say such things.
Bat yakiniku with various this and that is served. Its quite delicious with its cartilage-like crisp texture.
Thus, we begin our search activity again after a short break but, we still cant find anything. What should I dAh, thats right. Dont I have the most suitable skill for this situation?
If its me who has these two skills Stone GnawerJudgementEarth, I can gain information regarding the solids and landscape around this vicinity by eating soil.
When that idea struck me, I decided that I must at least try it. So, I quickly chose the place that seemed clean and tried to eat the soil that was gouged out from the earth wall.
Fumu. It has a distinct sweet flavor, a really refreshing mint-like flavor. I thought that it was not a bad flavor.
Eh, Eiji, what are Just because you couldnt get full enough from eating the bats, for you to eat soil is.
When I turned around on hearing that voice, Ruu dragged her gaze away from me.
Y-You misunderstood Its not the case
Im sorry for not being sensible enough Uhm, I will bring my dried meat too, please take it
Please stop conversing with such a serious tone, Drai-sanRather, its hurting me, you know
Or so I say, no, thats not what I mean!
Definitely not that
Its my skill, my SKILL you knowIt is the kind of skill which lets me know the minerals present in this placeIts the truth, Im not lying. Yeah, the sign of rare minerals is Its over there
I explain my skill to them and then go toward the place where I felt it. Though it was a dead end, when I continued to advance for a while, in front of me was a thin wall.
It made an echo when I tried knocking it.
It seems theres a natural space existing beyond this wall.
Maybe we can go inside if we take a detour but
Say, digging it is faster than looking for a road to it. Lend it to me.
As soon as she says that, Ruu receives a pickaxe from Drai. And then, she nailed it to the wall while raising a manly voice with URYAAA.
Making an I~~~I sound, the wall is slowly shaved off, and in the blink of an eye, a hole on the wall that has the size of an adult is created.
Your power is amazing as usual, isnt it
Fufu, power is justice
We pass through the newly formed hole while thinking that the God-like speech felt more like a young boy’s speech. That moment, Drai raised his voice.
AH THERE IT IS It has black silver, and there’s even Magi sapphire
When I turn to the place hes pointing at, at that place is a lump of stone releasing black light. There was also some sky blue stones embedded on the wall.
We hurriedly go there to have a better look at it.
Theres no doubt about it, it was a gem.
It really was in this place, youre amazing, arent you Eiji-san
Not bad, Eiji
When I receive their praise. I feel soooooo goood.
Hahaha.
Hmhm, now you can praise me more, you know
Yosh, lets do our best and dig more of it~
YES
Those two started to dig the rare minerals that we just found after giving their reply. Kuh, its cash huh. . Well, I should dig it too for sure!
Fu~h, that was splendid.
Yes. Thank you very much
After we searched for it in several other places after that, we discovered several minerals again. But, it was not in large quantity so far. Well, we got plenty enough in terms of volume for the first day.
After continuing that for few days, we couldnt get the same amount like the first day but, since we got someResult, Drais going to challenge by himself again.
And to increasing his cooperative workers, hes going to invite others with these raw materials as presents.
Bu~t
As I thought, theres no way itll be that simple, right
Drai’s shoulders slumped again.
Drai is advertizing in the plaza and bar with the raw materials on one-hand. But, despite calling his acquaintances, its not successful.
The chance its found is just unexpectedly low, honestly it doesnt meet the condition of the kind of good prospects that people expect.
It same as before after all.
Nothing has changed.
Well, I wont bring you trouble if theres no change with this. But, this matter is clear thanks to both of you. Now, I can keep going without losing my aspiration
Drai-san Yes, please do your best.
Well, if you feel like it, come back to pioneering again. Itll be okay as long as you make some progress, ri~ght
Ruu and I said our farewell to Drai in front of the bar Or so when we were about to.
The boy, Ston was coming toward us.
Ruus having an expression as if being threatened. This guys the type that holds grudges huh.
Hello Ston-kun, whats matter
Drai lowered his body and asks him.
ell me
EH? What
Tell me when you will be going now Ill be going along
EH
Drai eyes opened wide in astonishment. Though he tried to say something at that moment, Ston had already run away leaving us behind.
I see, I see.
That hateful attitude of him was because Ston was really worried about Drai deep in his heart. All along more than the other people, the things done by Drai. Especially the things he did vigorously again in this village.
Youre glad right, Drai-san. You have a very reliable ally in some meaning
.Yeah. Thank you very much If both of you hadn’t come here, I wouldnt have been able to show my aspiration to Ston-kun. Though Im saying this when youre about to leave, please come again anytime
Of course, Ruu and I nod together. If possible, there might be earth shaking changes when we come next time.
One thing or another, after spending quite a long time we managed to finally find the successor of cooperative workers safely, and we got raw material too. So, I was talking with Ruu that wed be going toward Prowkai and will depart from Eigen soon.
And then, we sleep at our usual inn.
