Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 46.2
We entered the abandoned mine.
Inside was surprisingly bright, and there was no need for torches or lanterns as we could walk around comfortably.
Unlike dungeon caves, it was quite spacious, and it seemed difficult to touch the ceiling even if we jumped.
Ahead, Pochi and Ponta walked happily together, with Lisa in the middle and me and Lady Evans walking on either side.
After a while, Pochi growled slightly, and magical beasts appeared.
The mineral-type magical beast, Golem. It was made entirely of rock and was very hard, making physical damage difficult to inflict, but it was quite weak to magic. However, magic of fire, earth, and lightning attributes was ineffective, making it quite a troublesome beast.
Because of this, it wasn’t popular at all. Despite being close to the royal capital, there was no sign of people inside the mine.
“Ponta~ Pochi~ Let’s go~!”
Lisa ran ahead happily and began fighting the Golem.
Pochi and Ponta tackled and threw the Golem around as if playing with toys, while Lisa used water magic to defeat it.
Another reason why the Golem type is unpopular is its drop items.
It drops ores used for blacksmithing, but they are heavy. Without a magic bag, carrying them is very tough. Additionally, the quality is worse compared to ores mined from walls.
“Lisa is stronger than I thought.”
“Hehe. She might have more talent in magic than I do.”
“More than Lady Evans!?”
“Yes. However, she hasn’t figured out what she wants to use magic for. But right now, she seems to be having a lot of fun. Ever since you went to the big city, she’s been practicing every day on her own.”
“Wow, Lisa has finally found a goal.”
“Hey, Beryl. Do you understand why Lisa worked so hard?”
“I don’t?”
“…………”
Lady Evans sighed and gently tapped my head once.
What’s wrong? Is it that Lisa worked hard to get into the academy?
Surprisingly, Lisa, Pochi, and Ponta handled all the fighting, and I was able to walk side by side with Lady Evans, experiencing the happiest time since my reincarnation… well, including before that.
When we came out of the mine entrance, the slum was bustling with activity.
Looking closely, it seemed like everyone was cooking food in a plaza-like area.
“By the way, humans can do incredible things.”
“Incredible things…?”
“Even though they’re the same race, they’re being driven away from the royal capital to here, right?”
“Yeah. That’s true, but…”
“But?”
“There’s something strange about it.”
“Strange?”
When I came to the slums, I felt a slight discomfort.
That was――――
“The people living here look quite healthy. Normally… the poor I saw when I was in the big city, Emblam, had no hope, struggled with food, and were always in despair. But… here is different. Everyone seems to be filled with hope, and the evidence of that is over there.”
I pointed to the plaza.
“Cooking and eating food themselves means there are ingredients available. The poor usually can’t even manage to eat, so they are poor… It’s far, so I can’t see, but it doesn’t seem to be poor-quality ingredients.”
“Now that you mention it, it is strange.”
“Yes. I wonder if there’s a special situation in this slum. Lady Evans, you’ve lived in the royal capital before, haven’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Was there a slum here at that time?”
“Not at all—back then, it was thriving as a mining town. There were no slums, and there were often people on the outskirts of the royal capital. Near dungeons, there were places where people gathered.”
“I see… The current royal capital, in a way, strangely excludes the poor. But the people who were relocated here seem to be happy… That’s what’s odd.”
“I can’t understand what humans do, so it’s still strange to me.”
“Yes. People… they tread on others based on status and such, like the current nobles.”
“…………”
We left the slum and returned to the royal capital.
