Chapter 216

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 pa.s.sed through the fence labeled 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.
