The majestic mountains spread out. I exhaled slowly as I gazed at their majestic forms.

I was now at the foot of the Muroc Mountains. I had heard that they were high mountains, but I had no idea that they were so majestic. Just looking at them, I feel like I'm getting some kind of power ...... from them.

There is no one beside me. When was the last time I was alone in such a wilderness? It's really a relaxing and luxurious time.

For some reason, there are tears in my eyes. I'm at ....... I'm lonely. I'm really lonely. I want to go home.

There's a reason why I'm feeling so weak. I originally brought May, Sadie, and Gon here. Needless to say, to dig tunnels with my earth magic here in the Muroc Mountains.

In order to dig a tunnel, it is necessary to investigate in which direction the tunnel should be dug, so I asked these three to help me with that.

As soon as they arrived, they started to investigate the mountain without looking at me who was admiring the scenery. They were talking about how this mountain seemed to be made of a stone called "Nanka" and geologically speaking, ......, which was beyond my comprehension. Gon, for example, is walking around, carefully examining the stones around him, mumbling about the existence or non-existence of volcanic explosions in the past. I thought you were not such a character.　Where's the usual eroticism ....... I felt a little sad.

While I was doing that, I noticed a guy running around my feet. I looked closer and saw that it was a gnome, a spirit of the earth who has a contract with May. As he was running around, he was shouting some instructions to May. As I was doing this, I noticed that there was no one around me.

I must assure you that I did not get lost. I was not left behind. Absolutely not. If I wanted to, I could reach them with my telekinesis, or I could follow the magic of May and the others and transfer to them. It's just that when I sent a telegram a while ago, May told me to "stay there, master. ...... is lonely.

After all, we've been waiting for two hours. Finally, the three came back to me.

Bored with the whole thing, I told them to go back to the imperial residence, but Mei and the others, their eyes blazing, refused to budge, saying they had found the perfect place to dig a hole. I suggested that we go back to the house for now because we were hungry, but the three fairies and one elf were adamantly opposed, saying that we had to dig a hole first.

"Is the hole so important?　Is the hole more important than the meal?"

I was a little pissed off and unfaithful. But May and Sadie, with a twinkle in their eyes, each holding my hand, said something like this

Now is the best time of the year. If we miss this time of year, this area will be closed to snow and ice. It's now or never, it's now.

It is rare for two people to disagree with me so completely. I reluctantly follow them, feeling unconvinced.

We walked for about 10 minutes. They took me to a place where there was a gentle slope. May and Sadie told me to dig a hole in the ground.

What?　You dig downwards?　Are you going underground?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. Once we get underground and reach a certain point, we dig straight ahead. The geology here is very hard, with an ethisote formation overlying rheolitic bedrock.

"In addition, the Caykawan phenomenon is occurring underground, so the conditions are optimal.

"I have seen many kinds of soil, but I have never seen such an ideal place. It is rare to find such a formation. Before you complain, thank Mei!

I didn't understand half of what May and Sidney were saying, and in the end Norm got mad at me.

Holding back my tears, I did as they asked and dug a hole with my earth magic. Simply digging a hole might cause the hole to collapse. For this reason, I made sure to harden the dug area to prevent it from collapsing.

After several hours of digging the holes as instructed by the three men, I felt something hard hitting me, and I could not move forward any further. May and Sidhi saw this and pushed me out of the way to investigate.

"...... ice, isn't it?"

I'm sure of it.

It looks like we've crossed it.

"You made it, Mei!"

The two hugged each other and rejoiced. Gon and Gnome joined them, and the party was in full swing. I sat down on the spot with a big sigh.

Later I heard that the geological formation of this mountain was quite complicated, and there was a danger of collapse if the hole was dug in the wrong direction. In addition, the weather around this mountain was changeable, and if it snowed, visibility would immediately drop to zero. It happened to be a beautiful day when we came here, so May and Sidie wanted to go ahead with the digging work even if it was too much of a risk. By the way, the tunnel I dug was very strong and I wanted to praise myself for a job well done, but no one touched it.

It was already dusk when I went outside. The setting sun was beautifully shining on the majestic Muroc Mountains, which were covered with snow around their peaks. As I watched the setting sun, I forgot my fatigue for a while.

When I returned to my residence in the capital, it was just time for dinner. Since I hadn't eaten lunch, the dinner was really delicious, and the sake, which I hadn't had in a long time, was very good. However, the main topic of conversation at the dinner table was the Muroc Mountains, and not a single mention was made of me.

I bathed the children, read them picture books, and put them to bed, feeling a little sad. The picture book I read that day was "Dorobo no Dorobo," a funny story about a dumb thief who burglarizes the house of a big thief.

After the children go to bed, I go to my bedroom. Rico was waiting for me there.

"You're home early. What's wrong with the kids already ......?"

"Ri, Rico, oh, Rico, oh, Rico!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!"

I couldn't stand the sight of her, so I hugged Riko and carried her to the bed in a princess hug.

I was so happy to see her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stroked Rico's body and whispered in her ear in a small voice. That was a little rough. No, I was rather rough. Rico slowly sat up and lay down so that she was facing me.

"...... is there something wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"U...... actually ......"

Guided by Rico's gentle voice, I told him what had happened today. She holds my hand and listens intently to what I have to say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... that must have been hard for you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When she finished listening to me, Rico smiled and whispered to me. I almost cried.

"But you know what, Linos? But you know, Linos, this is something I can say as well: ....... You shouldn't expect too much from people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Expectations?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"May and the others will praise you, Sidi will be kind to you. ....... Wasn't that the thought in Linos's mind?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"ugh ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Expectations make you angry when things don't work out the way you hoped. If you don't have expectations from the beginning, that won't happen."

"Yes, that's right. ......"

"Whenever I'm with children, I always think, 'What's the point of having a child if you don't know what to do with him or her? I always think that we should not expect too much from our children.

What do you mean?

"Recently, I have been scolding my children more and more. One day, I suddenly realized that I was scolding my children a lot these days. I suddenly realized that this anger was caused by not getting my way. Each child has his or her own abilities. It's not right to force my ideas on them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's great. That's amazing that you could come up with such an idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I don't think so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then she giggles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I was rough with your precious Riko. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I apologize, and Rico shakes his head slowly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. I don't dislike Linos either. He's kind of cute."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With that I hugged Riko again. I had a feeling this evening was going to be a long one. .......
