While I was watching Gina and her friends' search from the shadows, Belle and her friends came back from their playtime to find an ancient ruin. Ordinary children would have come back with beautiful stones, flowers, and other such trifles, but spirits are on a different scale.

Now that Belle and the others have finished their lunch, it's time to go check out the ruins Tulu has discovered. If we go like this, we won't be able to see Gina and the others.

Gina and the others have been defeating the demons in the morning, and there seems to be no problem so far, but I promised Achim that I'll watch over them, so I'd better be careful.

At any rate, I summon Dolly ...... I have a feeling that Dine might get upset if I call Dolly continuously. I can imagine her complaining about my sister when we return to the paradise.

"It's my sister's turn!"

When I summoned Dineh for the future, she was motivated from the very first word. If I didn't summon her, there was a high possibility that this motivation would turn sour, so I was right in my decision.

"Yeah. I need you to escort Gina and the others from some distance, okay?"

"Mmm-hmm. Leave it to my sister.

Deanne accepts with a thump on the chest. Belle and her friends sometimes do this gesture, but in Deene's case, the symbol of motherhood shakes with a destructive force. Yuta?" is the biggest of all the great spirits I have contracted with. .

I heard Sylphy's voice, freezing cold. Apart from the motherly "Yuta?" of Sylphy. Elephants...... don't have to step through landmines themselves.

"......Thanks Dine. Is paradise okay?"

"Well, Sake Island is going well. But Sakura seems a little lonely and Ifu says she's not busy.

"We're planning to go back to paradise for a bit in a little while, so tell Sakura when Deanne gets back. I'll see what I can come up with for ifs at ......."

I think Sake Island is scarier when things are going well, but we can't worry about that now.

We'll have plenty of communication with Sakura when she gets back. She'll have lots of fun with Belle and the others, so she'll miss them less.

Iff will probably want to go on a ...... rampage. The labyrinth is not a place to go wild because of the core, and if a strong enemy appears, we can ask iff to help us.

"Okay! Okay, I'm off then. I'll drink tonight!"

Deanne left to escort Gina and the others in good spirits, but what does that last word mean?

...... come to think of it, the last time I summoned Dolly and Nomos, we drank at a wild boar roast and mushroom party.

Maybe they heard about it and feel like they can have a drink too. No promises were made, but if this is true in Deanne's mind, it will be troublesome to see how she will react when I don't serve her alcohol. Aside from the party, I'll put out a few kegs of booze tonight.

There has to be a price to pay for the work. It's a small price to pay if we can move the Great Spirit with a keg.

"...... Then let's get going. Everyone, please show us the way."

Now that we've sent Deane to make sure Gina and the others are safe, let's go check out the ruins.

Over here. - Cue, cue, coo, I got it!

Bell, Rain, Tamamo, and Flare answered my request with a cheerful smile and ran out. If you leave me here, I won't be able to guide you, okay?

With Sylphy, I don't have a problem, but she's starting to act a bit like Dine and I'm a bit worried about her future.

"......Anataisu""......""

We should ask the remaining calm Tulu and Moon to lead the way and follow Belle and the others who have gone ahead of us. With Sylphy's strength, they'll catch up with us in no time.

"You can't leave me here to lead them!"

"I've failed at beru..." "Cue..." "I was so careless..." "Coo..."

When we arrived at the ruins and gave a little warning to Bell and his friends, they became discouraged.

"Well, well, it won't be a problem if you're careful next time. Come on, let's check out the ruins. We've found a treasure!"

The pissed-off Bell and his friends quickly lose heart and shift the conversation to the search for treasure. I've often wondered what kind of adults are capable of scolding the children of the world. I can't do it.

"Otakara-" "Kyu-kyu-" "Raku-sho-da!" Coo!"

You switched in an instant. If I can switch so easily, I think I can keep my attention a little longer next time.

Well, since Belle and her friends are good kids, I guess I won't have a chance to pay attention to them unless their high-tension inadvertence is triggered like this time. After being relieved to see the Belles back in good spirits, we turn our attention to the ruins, which is the original purpose of our visit.

Huh? All I see is forest.

...... Oh, I see. If you look carefully, it's not an ordinary forest. It is swallowed by the trees, but there are some manmade-looking objects. Those must be ruins.

Sylphy. Do you think we should dig them up for now?"

"Isn't that right?"

"...... Sylphy. Maybe, but aren't you interested in ruins?"

"Well, it's not that I'm not interested at all, but I've seen what it looked like before it was turned into ruins, so it's not that exciting."

Oh, I see. It's like reading a mystery novel where the culprit is spoiled. There are a lot of mysteries that are interesting even if you know the culprit, but it's not half as exciting as it should be.

I'll try my best to take the lead for now.

I approach an object that looks like an artifact and observe its surface.

The surface is almost covered with moss, but it looks like it was originally made of stone. It is natural that it must have been made of stone since it has been left in its natural state for a long time, otherwise it would not have retained its shape.

Stone buildings, in the Kingdom of Rosophia, are likely to be the buildings of powerful people. However, it is also possible that it is a building of common people, since it is said that there was not even a forest in the old days.

I am not an expert in excavation ......, so I guess we will have to dig to know for sure.

It would be easy to ask Tulu to do it, but excavation is a rare opportunity. I feel like the pioneering tools are asking me to use them, so I should at least excavate the first building by myself.

"I feel like the shovels are happy."

I took out the magic shovel from the pioneering tool, and I felt a gleam of light even though there was no reflection. The shovel must be happy to be out for a long time.

She was very active in the beginning, but the power of the spirit was so great that she didn't appear much anymore.

The only thing that is still in regular use is the magic bag, and there are still a lot of pioneering tools that I haven't used yet.

The question is what to use them for, but I have heard the saying that they are tools for what they are used for. We should try to use them more often since they are our pioneering tools.

Standing in front of the ruins, we put our energy and put the magic shovel into the soil ...... Wait a minute...?

Magic shovels are unbeatable for digging holes, but they are infinitely unsuitable for excavating ruins, aren't they?

I have a feeling that it would scoop up the ruins as well as the buildings, since it would scoop up anything, even rocks, like tofu.

I don't know how ruins are treated in this world, but as an adult who knows the value of history, I hesitate to damage them carelessly. Unless it is a den of demons, we should take good care of them.

"......Tulu. Move the soil around the building. Please do not damage the building as much as possible.

Stow the magic shovel and ask Tulu for help. Sorry pioneering tool.

"Okay."

Tulu came forward with eyes full of enthusiasm. He nodded his head in agreement with Bell and the others as they cheered him on.

Tulu floated in front of the ruins and put her hands out in front of her, mumbling that she would not damage the ruins.

The earth moved away from the ruins, undulating so as not to damage the ruins. It reminds me of the time when I planted a field in paradise.

The ruins that emerged from the soil were surprisingly clean, perhaps because they had not been exposed to the elements. Hmm? Oh, the soil stuck to the ruins has been peeled off nicely.

That's the spirit of the soil. You can dig soil with a pioneering tool, but it would be difficult to peel off the soil stuck on the ruins.

"Huh? TUL. Are you still digging?"

......I was interested in the power of the spirit of the soil, but I felt uncomfortable as the soil continued to be carried away with a thump. The soil is already a pretty big pile, you know?

"Yeah. "Yeah. This is a three-story building. There's more down there."

"Three stories?"

So we'd have to dig up two floors and a half of dirt to reach the ground of the old town? Does dirt pile up that much? Huh? How long ago did they perish?

"Do you want to stop digging?"

Tulu asked me a little disappointed at my reaction. Tulu seems to want to finish digging once he starts. Tulu seems to be a serious person.

"No, if it's not too hard for you, keep digging. Don't push yourself too hard.

"Okay. I can do it."

Tulu nods his head and returns to his work. He looks happy. But it's a three-story building.

"Sylphy. It's going to be pretty hard to dig out the building, and I think it's a little tough to ask to do it for us, don't you?"

This is going to be more of a civil engineering project than an exploration.

"There's not much point in digging out the houses, so why don't we just dig up the big buildings that are on the surface and just say what we mean?"

"I see, you don't have to dig up everything perfectly."

Since the goal is the treasure, we only need to go after the big buildings that seem to have money, right? Then it might be worth it if the treasure is still there.

"Yuta. Do you put out the earth in the mane? There's a lot more in there than just soil."

Oh, it seems there's dirt all the way into the building. Well, since it was buried, there must be at least some soil inside. They say that there are a lot of things in there, but are there any treasures left? I'm getting a little excited.

"Can you bring what's inside to the surface while you move it out?"

Am I pushing it a bit too far?

I'm fine.

I can do it. I knew that even a lowly spirit could do great things, but it seems that it can do a lot more than I thought it could. But I'm a little nervous.

"Hey, Sylphy. Are you sure you're not pushing Tulu too hard?"

"Yuta's level has been raised and the supply of magic power to Bell and the others has been increased, so this level will be fine. We just have to be careful not to use the power so rapidly that the supply can't keep up.

My level has increased, and Bell and the others seem to be able to exert their power more easily. It's like going from a dry cell to a large battery. I'm glad to see that almost useless magic power can be useful.

"Yes, sir. Tulu, please."

Tulu nods her head. Well, maybe some treasure will turn up in the dirt. Bell and the others must be bored just watching, so let's all start looking for the treasure. Treasure, come on!
