Kojiin Tamer

The inside of the cave is still an air hole somewhere, or maybe it's not fresh, but we were able to breathe without any problems.

First of all, for the sake of internal investigation, we decided that it would be just the four of us and the queen to go inside. If there were too many people, it would take a long time to move, and me and the queen would be enough to search for the enemy.

We arrived at the square where we mined last time in less than thirty minutes while running around the cave searching for enemies. We didn't encounter any monsters or animals during that time, so it seems that there were no intruders.

I carefully examined the plaza as we will be mining here from now on, there are several holes in the ceiling, the air seemed to be flowing from there. I'm a little worried about the rainy season, but I'm relieved that no monsters seem to be able to enter through the holes.

The three of us will leave this place to the three of us, and me and the queen will go to pick everyone up.

When we arrived at the entrance, we asked the wolves to watch over us, but found that there was nowhere to hide or rest, so we made a simple hut with earth magic. It's just a simple thing with walls and a roof, though...

We're going to be coming here a lot, so we might as well think about a more solid hut.

We returned to the square with half of the production group and half of the adventurer group, although I don't think it would be a problem, as we headed back to the square with a search party.

When we got back to the square, we grabbed a pickaxe and started mining.

I used my appraisal to find some mining points and assigned them to the adventurers.

I let the production group find their own points. It's an exercise in discernment.

Yes! Let's see who's the best!

Mr. Cruz started mining all by himself.

The production team is a little late to the party, as they are about to find a place to mine.

I left this to the others and began to wander around the cave. This is to reinforce the inside of the cave.

The cave is made of rock, so I don't think the cave will collapse so easily, but I used ground magic to reinforce (and check) the key points.

"[Kuhn]

After about two hours of reinforcement, I was out of the cave.

There was a huge pile of carcasses there.

Apparently, the queen had taken the wolves and trained them in the name of hunting. It seems that if you take all of them with you, there will be no guards, so they take turns, but it seems to be quite spartan and the wolves are all exhausted.

"Hey Shu, what do we do with this?

The group of adventurers who were on guard were dismantling the prey that the queens had hunted. They had gone to great lengths to build a hut, but because of the smell of blood and such, they were dismantling it away from the entrance of the cave.

Hmm, I'll put it in the item box for now, but I'd like you to dismantle it as far as you can. The wolves and Pee-chan and the others will be on alert for the perimeter, and I don't think there are many animals nearby that have been hunted by the queens.

All right, then I'm sorry, but can you get a hole and some water for me?

'Then I'll get it ready for you a bit further out.'

I put out some deep holes and barrels at the leeward end of the cave and filled them with water.

These holes are for blood and guts when we dismantle them.

We'll have to burn or bury them later, or else we'll be in big trouble, so we'll have to make sure they're disposed of properly.

By the way, some of the entrails were a snack for the queens.

Three days after we started mining, we were able to obtain a large amount of ore, monster materials and medicinal herbs.

As expected, it was hard to stay in the cave all day, so they ate outside and collected for a change.

The magic iron was able to be mined reasonably well, so it should be able to make some weapons.

It's a mining match, but Cruz is by far the best in terms of the amount of stones he dug, but because he couldn't distinguish between the ores, he lost to the production team as a result of many missing stones.

Well, he was happy to have had a good training, so he didn't seem to mind that he lost.
