Chapter 23: b

If I’m tired of digging, I’ll take a nap, eat some basilisk meat, and resume my work again.

The excavated stones and ores are stored in my four-dimensional space.

I might be able to use it for something else.

Also, I feel warm.

Have I been over-exercising and my body is heating up?

No, no.

This is…

Pong.

There is a hole in the ground where I was.

My body falls.

The liquid underneath is hot and bubbling red.

Is that a magma puddle?!

「Nyaa—（Geez—! ）」

Boom!

I put my thumb up and sink to the bottom of the magma.

…

…Eh? It is not that hot?

However, the liquid seems to be highly viscous, so it’s not easy to swim in.

Oh, could I store it in my four-dimensional space?

Let’s give it a try.

「Bukubukubuku（Open sesame! ）」

It opens up a four-dimensional space at the bottom of the magma reservoir.

The magma is getting stored more and more.

It’s a success.

Eventually, all of the magma in the baseball field-sized magma reservoir was stored, and the area around it became hollow.

The cavity is full of stones that look like ores, among which I find a reddish-gold ore.

Name: Adamantine Ore

Description: The hardest and most durable ore.

It is used in legendary weapons and armour.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

I’ll try to sharpen my nails.

…Oh, oh!

This is perfect!

It seems to be a little harder than my nails so I can steadily sharpen my nails.

I’ll take the adamantine ore in this area.

Also, shall I take the whole Orichalcum and the other surrounding ores?
