Chapter 56
“So, you know, people used to dig for mithril here in the old days. Whoever found the biggest lump would buy everyone a drink. I used to sneak in a few of them when I was a kid, and we’d make a lot of noise together.”
“That sounds like a lot of fun. It would be fun to give away free tickets to Sarah’s diner to the person who digs up the biggest potato in Asgard. Grac-sama.”
“Oh, yes.”
“……”
Me and the self-proclaimed Cain were walking through the mine in a slightly awkward atmosphere. Ruby was talking happily, and Galatea was smiling and ministering to her.
Well, if Galatea doesn’t act on it, then that means this guy doesn’t have any bad intentions right now. ……
“I think it’s here. There are the footprints of the mineral ants.”
“As expected of you. You’re great, master.”

“Thanks, well, You’re my master, Ruby.”
With that, the self-proclaimed Cain shouted in front of a hole just big enough for an adult to bend down into on a side street. It must be awkward for him to never look in my direction. There was definitely a slight but visible trace of something that had walked in there.
Is this a trap to corner me?
If he wants to assassinate me, this would be the perfect opportunity. Because the only dwarf here is Ruby. If he could use magic to divide Galatea and me, and I could get access to my weapons, it would be easy enough to kill me.
But Kyle doesn’t know that Galatea can read emotions. If there’s hostility toward us, Galatea will tell us.
I looked at her with that thought and shook my head sideways. She says she has no hostile intent toward Kyle. ……
“What are you guys doing? You’re in trouble if you get lost!”
“Oh, my bad, I’m just surprised that the mine is so powerful.”
“I know, right? Our mines are amazing! They produce quality mithril, and they are the home of us dwarves, they are everything!”
Ruby proudly replied with a smile as I tried to make things up as I went along. I look at her face and feel sad. The dwarves have decided to abandon their homeland. They must have made this decision with a great deal of determination.
“Master. Ruby-sama, Kyle-san. I have sensed the presence of the enemy. There are three of them. Be careful!”

“Huh!”
“This guy’s name isn’t Kyle, it’s Cain. It’s hard to say for sure.”
“Galatea definitely did that on purpose……”
But that aside, mineral ants are formidable monsters. When I brace myself and ready my gun, someone grabs me by the arm.
“Don’t worry, Master. I will protect you.”
“Thank you…. but I can use a gun too. I’ll protect myself. I beat that idiot brother of mine, Kyle.”
“Kuhahaha!”
“What’s wrong? Did you eat something strange?”
Galatea looked at me a little worried, and I smiled back. Yes, I too went through a rough patch in the fight with Kyle. I don’t mind that the self-proclaimed Cain is making strange noises.
The sound of crunching something hard is coming from the back of the room. We have a bad feeling about this, and as our footsteps creep past, we see an ant the same size as a person with its face on the ground.

“That one looks like it’s eating….”
“Yes, they eat not only minerals but also stones, and stone armadillos are minerals too.”
They were right, those guys were eating stone armadillos with their strong jaws. And when they turned around, they stared at us with inorganic eyes.
