It wasn't too difficult to mine the moon ore, as long as we could get permission from the dragon.

　The mining site that Gardon, the dwarven armorer, had told us about was a cave near the entrance to the hill country.

　It was a human-sized cave, much smaller than the dwellings of dragons.
　We stepped into the cave with a light in our hands.

　After walking through the natural cave for a while, we eventually came upon a distinctive terrain.

"Wow, beautiful ......!

　Next to me, Iris exclaims in admiration.

　Rio, Maifa, and the werewolf Uru were also gleaming at the sight.

　The place at the end of the cave was a small hall.

　The characteristic feature of the hall was a vertical hole extending upward from the ceiling, creating a cavity that connected to the outside.

　Through this cavity, the soft moonlight from outside was pouring down on the ground and walls inside the cave.
　The walls and parts of the ground were glittering in the moonlight.

　When I found the place, I first covered up the effect of the magic of Light, and then tried to block some of the moonlight from the ceiling with my own body.

　Then, even though the moonlight was blocked from reaching me, I found some areas on the walls and floor that were emitting a faint light of their own.

　This is exactly the moon ore.
　It is said that this ore absorbs moonlight over a long period of time and stores magical power inside it.

So this is moon ore. but the walls around it are really hard. My beastly claws can tear through steel plates, but they're still no match for it.

　Uru, in werewolf form, clawed at the surrounding walls in an attempt to dig for moon ore, but the rock was so hard that his claws were unable to penetrate.

　According to what Galdon had told me, special mining tools were needed to mine the moon ore, and those tools were hard to come by now.

　But I'm not too worried about that.
　I call out to Rio.

"Okay... let's do this, Rio.

"All right, bro!

　Rio and I each drew our swords and held them in front of another moonstone.
　You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this sort of thing.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

　By unleashing the [Moonlight Sword] several more times, Rio and I succeeded in digging out one moon ore each.

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a great idea. ....... It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to try.

　You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.

　On the other hand, Uru said, "Hmmm, is that so? It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　On the other hand, Meifa also...

In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at our own web site. ...... This is not because I don't want to work.

　This is not because I don't want to work," he said, nodding his head in agreement.

　In any case, Rio and I split up and mined the moon ore one by one.
　Then Uru, who saw us doing it, suddenly raised a question.

"Hey, ......?　Isn't it enough to have one moon ore?

Yeah. It seems that one moon ore of this size is enough to make a shade necklace. We just need a little bit of money. We've come to Ravilton to buy equipment for Rio and the three of us, but we're a little short on cash.

　According to what Galdon told me, there's a decent demand for moon ore as long as it's mined, so if we bring it back to the city, we should be able to sell the amount we've mined and turn it into money.

　But when Uru heard this, she panicked and said something like this.

But when Uru heard that, she panicked and said, "Oh, really?　You've been helping us out in the middle of all this?　If that's the case, then we shouldn't have received the treasure that Dragon-san gave us earlier!　We don't have any use for that kind of money, so Brett and the others should take it!

　Uru held out to me the cloth bag containing the treasure he had received from the dragon.
　I looked at it and froze.

　In fact, to be honest, I wanted this treasure so badly that I had to get it out of my throat. .......

　If you sell this dragon's treasure in Ravilton, you will surely get dozens of large gold coins, and with that much money, your budget for buying equipment for your students will be much more luxurious.

　However, the dragon had given it to Ur, and I thought that it could not be taken away from him. .......

...... Are you sure?

　I was so greedy that I said so.
　This is the state of an unfortunate adult in the world.

"Of course. If it weren't for Brett and the others, there wouldn't have been anything. Besides, we have already received many things from Brett and Rio. Please accept this at least!

　When Uru offered it to me again, I said, "Oh, I see. I said, "Well, thank you," and snatched the cloth bag from him.
　Doctor, I couldn't resist the temptation of money. .......

　No, no.
　Money is important.
　It's just that money makes you lose sight of it.

　And, yeah.
　If you think that you're getting paid fairly for helping Uru, then you can see that there's no problem.

　Uru is happy, and we are happy.
　Compassion is not for other people's benefit, I guess.
　I guess it's just my imagination that it seems like a bad adult is justifying himself.



　But speaking of fair compensation, I would also like to pay fair compensation to Galdon for making me a shade necklace.

　I'd also like to pay a fair price to Liselle for designing Rio's armor, even if it's something she said on her own.
　We should think about that too.

　No matter what you do, money is important.
　We should earn it when we can.

　So, despite receiving the dragon's treasure from Ur, we mined as much moon ore as we could and returned to the city of Ravilton.

　Then, late at night, we went to the Galdron Armory and knocked on the door.

　Since the house and the store were in the same building, we knocked on the door, and Galdon came down from the second floor to greet us.

Oh, you've mined moon ore!　Okay, I'll take care of the rest. I'll make sure to complete the necklace of shading at all costs. ...... The idol concert is next weekend, on a full moon night, right?

Yes. It's less than a week away, can you make it?

I'll be honest, you never know until you try. But a dwarf never says never. If I say I'll do it, I'll do it.

　And with that, Galdon's mouth lifted in a grimace.
　This dwarf seems to be a much hotter man than I thought.

　At any rate, one task has been completed.

　There are only six days left until the night of the full moon when Uru and her friends are scheduled to perform.

　At the very least, I think we've done what we needed to do.
　The only thing left to do is for Rio and the others to practice their singing and dancing in preparation for the show.

　Even though this is an amateur show, Uru is at that level.
　It would be better for our children to practice at least as much as possible.

　You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes.

　So I decided to keep an eye on my pupils for the rest of the day....
