Digging? (2)

Feeling satisfied after worshipping Allen and Elena, Morgan-san resumed mining, so we did too.

"Allen found red one~"

"Elena got purple~"

This time, Allen found a rubellite and Elena found amethyst. Both were the size of a thumb, beautiful and gave a sense of translucence.

"Oh, I got one too."

I found black quartz.

"Oh, there's also a light blue one."

""Clear~""

There must be lots of quartz around here as we found them often. In addition to the red quartz, amethyst, and black quartz, we also found a clear, whitish quartz, citrine, brown quartz, green, blue and even orange-colored one. Rather, their colors weren't mixed whatsoever, all were magnificently single-colored. Wasn't the color of quartz supposed to be influenced by the minerals or geothermy? I thought you shouldn't be able to find such a different variety of quartz in one place, but that doesn't seem to be the case on Aetherdia.

"This is iron ore."

I also dug out a lot of iron ore, but unfortunately, I did not find any rare ores like Mithril or Platinum as Allen and Elena did~

"Alright-! There it is!"

Morgan-san, who has secured only iron ore so far, seemed to have finally found something.

"What is it?"

"Mithril! It's the result of my worshipping!"

"Nonono, worshipping is unrelated, right! This is your own work, Morgan-san!"

I certainly did think that worshipping the children would be effective, you know? However, the children did not do anything special, okay!? They did not specify an excavation point or anything, so it's Morgan-san's own ability!

"I did not feel like I was digging the Mithril by myself! Rudolph! You did well proposing for Tak.u.mi and the kids to accompany us!"

"Old man, isn't that just one lump of ore? Leave that for when you find the amount you need."

"Right? I might be able to dig up more! Aight, let's keep digging!"

I wonder why Rudolph-san wasn't denying it!?

"Hey, Rudolph-san. Allen and Elena certainly have good luck, but it can't be transferred on others."

"It's the frame of mind. Positive thinking makes success, negative thinking makes failure. Has that not been the result so far?"

"… It has."

Certainly thinking "Not good, there's no way I can do it." would make you fail more than often. And vice versa.

"Well, I do think that it's an extreme example in the Old man's case. Nonetheless, Tak.u.mi. Can you be absolutely sure that it wasn't the influence of your good luck?"

"……"

Sorry, I can't.

I mean, I can't deny nor affirm that? That kind of question is unfair.

""Onii~chan.""

"We found."

"Sparkly~"

As Rudolph-san and I talked, Allen and Elena who were mining brought over a fist-sized red stone.

"Whoah~"

"Uoh. Isn't that ruby? Moreover, it's huuuge."

"Indeed.——Allen, Elena, that's an amazing find."

What the two found was a ruby crystal. They found something incredible~

"Mining is amusing!"

"Will find more interesting stuff!"

"I see, it's amusing, huh~ But, haven't you found enough already?"

""No! Will find more!""

"Well, I won't stop you from enjoying yourselves, so go and have fun. But, be careful not to get injured."

""Got it~""

The children seemed to be fully engaged in mining and were having lots of fun. Well, it's a real treasure hunt, after all. And they found lots of treasure so far, so… of course they are having fun~
