The first night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

That's not true, but it's the first night of the two-week world.

Luckily, I was treated to a dinner before, so at least I didn't have to go hungry for the long night.

Underground, in a small space that had been carved out, on a hard stone floor, Akai and I sat against the wall, surrounded by a crackling bonfire.

"I don't know what time it is." I filled the campfire with firewood and looked around the walls.

Akai raised his head and looked at the hole that had been deliberately left behind, but the sky outside was pitch black, and even the stars did not come out. However, it is certain that it is completely nightfall, and it is estimated that it is eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Pushing the square-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, Akai said to me, "Although I only cut four trees before, and there is not much wood, but if you are idle and bored, I would recommend continuing to dig down." ”

I shrugged, "Since that's what you're saying." ”

Picking up the stone pickaxe beside me, which had been updated to the Stone Age, Akai and I discussed where to start digging down, and then chose an inconspicuous corner.

I've said this many times, so I don't really want to repeat it again.

There are only two ways to mine the road.

One is to follow the staircase at an angle of 45 degrees, which has the advantage of being safe enough to ensure sufficient time to react to any sudden incident that occurs in the middle of the way, so as to face possible dangers.

There is also a method of digging vertically under one's own feet to make a dead stream. This kind of life flow, that is, the kamikaze-style mining method of going and no return.

Of course, in order to get to the underground faster, there is nothing wrong with using this method in the game.

However, although we are in this game world now, many things seem to be much closer to reality. Of course, we naturally have only one life, so in order not to die young, we always take a conservative approach.

The mining process is boring, because you have to be patient enough to wield the clumsy stone tool in your hand.

Akai has a deep understanding of the taste, but from the side, it is also a good way to maintain calm.

"Once, I heard a rumor about mining." To avoid boredom, I think it's better to chat and mine at the same time.

"Oh?"

・・・・・・

Once upon a time, there was a boy who followed a master who was a miner.

Day after day, the boy kept company with the mines, and one day, the dry grass and the tedious and dangerous work made the boy complain to the master.

The master didn't get angry, and the master, who was always silent on weekdays, just talked to the boy for a while, and the boy stopped complaining from then on.

So the question is, excavator technology ・・・・・・・ ahem, why is this?

The specifics are actually quite simple.

Boy: "Master, what if I don't have any new clothes to wear?" ”

The master said earnestly: "Mine, child!"

Boy: "What if it's dangerous outside at night?" ”

The master said with a solemn look in his eyes: "Mine, child!"

Boy: "I heard that there are Golden Chests, Shadow Chests, I want to see them!" ”

The master smiled with a smile full of memories: "Mine, boy!"

Boy: "Master, I don't want to mine, no girl likes a guy like me, they all like farming next door." ”

The master snorted disdainfully: "When you dig up enough gold, you don't have to worry about anything." So mine, kid! ”

Boy: "I heard that there are monsters underground?" ”

The master raised the sharp iron sword in his hand: "Where there are monsters, there are good things, so don't be afraid!" Mine, kid!"

Boy: "Master, have you ever seen the Shadow Chest, I heard from Uncle Librarian." ”

Master: "I'll see you someday, so mine, kid!"

Teenager: "I heard ・・・・・・"

Master: "Mine, boy!" Don't think about anything, bread will be there, milk will be there. Anything will be fine, as long as you mine. ”

Teenager: "・・・・・・"

The boy looked at the new iron pickaxe in his hand that had been updated to an unknown number of handfuls, and the boy orz.

――――――――――――――――I'm the new divider――――――――――――――――

"・・・・・・, how can I describe my mood at the moment?" Akai listened to my story with a wistful expression, "Shouldn't I pull out a expression?" ”

I nodded at Akai, "At times like this, just smile." ”

"Smile at your sister!"

At this moment, a loud 'thump' sound passed through the wall of unknown thickness and reached our ears.

"Looks like we're in luck." I listened closely, it was the hollow sound of a strong wind blowing into the deep and narrow tunnel, which would continue from the entrance to the exit at the other end of the mine, bouncing and crashing against the walls around it.

Well, it's the same physics topic we had in junior high school.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that junior high school is the most important time to study hard.

The knowledge learned in junior high school is within the scope of practical knowledge, that is, the level of literacy that can be eradicated but not too profound.

The simpler the knowledge, the more practical it is, and the more complex the knowledge, the less useful it is. This is the same no matter what world or field it is. However, from an objective point of view, what you learn from the game is much more important to remember than what you learn in the real world classroom, because the game needs this knowledge to help you achieve the goal of clearing the level, that is, you will use it many times. However, since there is no opportunity to practice the knowledge learned in class, it is generally necessary for the teacher to thoroughly explain and review it countless times before it can be memorized.

The most cheating thing is that as long as it takes a few months, it will be forgotten directly, and there is no impression at all!

Don't ask why, the author knows this.

Even if you ask me now, I'll tell you the password for the last level of the ninja dragon ten years ago (bottle, ninja, human head, dart, ・・・・・・・).

Ahem, the topic is a bit big, and it will be considered to be making up the number of words, so come back quickly.

"After all, there are many underground mines, and it's normal for us to be able to dig up, so let's hear where the sound comes from."

Akai said on the side: "Well, even if we dig it, we are not rich in torches at the moment." ”

This also reminded me, and I shook my head helplessly.

"Forget it, anyway, we seem to have been digging for a long time, and we're a little tired, so it's almost okay, let's go back and rest."

I had to sleep on the shabby and hard stone floor for the rest of the night, but luckily I had a fire to keep me company.

After saying good night, Akai and I ignored the hardness of the floor, leaned against the wall and baked the fire, and then dragged our tired bodies to sleep.
