The Cave King Will Live a Paradise Life -Becoming the Strongest With the Mining Skill?-

If it was our friends, they would have called out to us.
And yet it wasn’t moving at all.
Perhaps it was only watching.

“Who’s there!?”

I turned around and asked.

And then a familiar voice echoed.

“Aww…he found us.”

It was Fule, Taran, Shiel, and Number 15.
They were supposed to have gone off digging, but they were now looking at us with disappointed expressions.

“You all…followed us here?” “But, the Princess…uh, no.
We were practicing being stealthy.”

Fule said as she averted her eyes.
She was clearly hiding the truth.

“You didn’t need to hide if you wanted to follow us…” “That’s right.
To spy on us like this…that was very disagreeable of you all!”

Rienna said with red, puffed up cheeks.
Why was she so embarrassed?

And so Fule attempted to console her.

“Now, now.
More importantly, what an incredible place this is.
Do you know this place, Shiel? Huh…? Shiel?”

Shiel was stunned as she faced the door.
It was clear that she was frantic.

“Shiel…was that supposed to stay locked?”

Shiel nodded.

“And now the seal is broken…someone opened it.
And you’re saying that this is very bad?”

I asked.
And Shiel nodded again.

“I see.
Well, we better close it again then… Hmm?”

Suddenly, a voice rang from the other side of the gate.

It wasn’t the cry of a beast.
There were fluctuations in the pitch and inflection and it was definitely a speaking voice.
I couldn’t understand it, but it sounded like multiple people were arguing.

Also, I could detect very faint amounts of magic energy.
It was clear now that someone really was behind the gate.

“Everyone.
Be careful…something is coming.”

They all nodded and entered their battle stance.

After a moment, things became quiet behind the gate, and then the doors suddenly burst open.

What then jumped out, was an old man in armor and who wielded a sword, and two other humans who followed him.
