As I was looking at the status of the monitor lizard and the bandit, I noticed that the bandit woke up. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

"Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!

"Take me to your cellar. I'll kill you if you try anything. Specifically, if you try to harm me, give me false information, run on your own or try to escape. Don't think you're going to die as cleanly as your friends did, okay?

When I nailed him with the threat I had prepared, he shook his head so hard I thought his head would fall off. Blood splattered all over the place, very dirty. I remembered that I could use healing magic, so I pointed my palm at the bandit and his face scrunched up in fear.

Healing Magic 1

A magic skill that can heal. You can use [Heal] to heal some wounds, and [Antidote] for simple detoxification.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Don't move... [Heal]! That's a little better, right?

"Heal... healing magic?

Just get up and show me the way. Get up and lead the way.

I'll give you a few simple orders and untie the ropes from your legs.

"Untie my arms, too... you're no match for me. I'm not gonna do anything stupid. No.

No. That's not negotiable. You don't like it, you can die here.

You watch the man and your surroundings warily, smiling to yourself, wondering who's the bad guy now.

"Get up now. If you want to die, why don't you just say so? I'll cut you down, burn you like they did, and get to where we're going. .

The man gets down on his knees and looks at the hole where the body was burned and rushes to his feet.

"...this way. Come on.

Don't do anything you don't want to do. You know what happens if you take the long way around or move without being seen by the others? If I take the long way, I'll get hurt, and if your people attack, you'll be my shield. Or do you have something more important to do with your life?

I feel like a bad guy now. I wonder how my old friend from school who referred to me as a mafioso when I used to wear a suit and sunglasses is doing: .... I don't see him anymore. It's been years since I've seen him and I'm a little sad.

After walking for about half an hour, the man stops and tells me to get down.

"That abandoned mine you see over there is our hideout. You see the guards? There's a few more of us in there... seven if you count that guard. Hey, please let me go... they'll kill me if they see me. ....

Wait a minute. You said it was an abandoned mine? How deep is it? And why was it abandoned?

It's not that deep. It's rather shallow. The passage inside is shorter than from here to the abandoned mine. As I recall, you said the mine was abandoned because they couldn't get as much stone as they thought. I think.

It's about 200 meters from here to the abandoned mine. It sure looks short.

Anyone we need to watch out for?

"There's Hanard, the ex-adventurer. He's the brother of the axeman you killed. That's enough, right? Just let me go!

Don't talk too loud, or the guards will see you. I'm not the only one who's in danger of being spotted, am I?

Of course, I'm not going to let you go for free here. I'm going to give you one last scare.

You know what? From now on, you're going to change your mind, work hard even if you're poor and have a hard time, and aim for a normal life. That way, you won't have to go through these scary experiences. Thank you.

Thank you very much. My brother. .... "Thank you.

He also untied the ropes that were restraining her arms and bowed deeply to her. It's not over yet, you know.

I'm not sure what to say.

"What?

I inhaled as hard as I could and shouted loud enough for the guards to hear!

What the hell? What do you mean, you don't have any other friends? You're setting me up! I'll cut you down!

What? What?" he whispered after checking that the guards had started to move.

What?" he whispered after seeing that the guards had started to move, "Come on, get out of here, or the bandits will catch you.

As he watched the man run away, he drew his sword from its sheath and walked slowly down the tunnel.

As you walk down the tunnel, you slowly increase your speed until you reach the top speed where you reach the young man guarding you and plunge your blade into his chest. As the blood gurgles out of his mouth, he draws his sword with all his might and walks into the abandoned mine.

When I saw the guard's outfit, I was half convinced that this place was used as a storehouse for thieves. The man on guard was wearing ill-fitting clothes that didn't fit him at all, and it was easy to see that he was the youngest of the group, so it was easy to see that he would be of low rank. It is easy to see that he is one of the youngest in the group and is probably the lowest in rank. He was armed with only a club, which was poorer than those used by hobgoblins.

What's the point of being a sentry then? There are six of us left. Six more to go.

...We got them down without too much trouble. Inside there were five drunk and dazed men and a woman. They almost fell when they saw me, but they each had a weapon and tried to attack me, but I cut them all down. There were a few pieces of armor, some coins, empty crates and wine barrels. I also took some ropes and a few ice axes, probably remnants of the mine. I took the corpse of the bandit outside and cremated it, then decided to try "Mining 3".

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Mining 3

Correction to the mining operation. It gives you a vague idea of where the ore might be. In rare cases, the amount of ore obtained is also corrected.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea. It's a fantasy. I don't know.

Then I somehow got hooked on mining, and a day passed as I dug and dug. .... At the end of the day, the mine nearly collapsed and I had to flee in a panic.
