“Nuo! This is…darker than I thought….”

Even though it was still the afternoon, the inside of the mine was darker than I thought it would be.
Because the entrance was right in front of my eyes it was a little better, but my vision got worse farther inside.
“Umm…we did get lanterns from the guild, right…?”
We had a set of two items that we received from the guild when we accepted this quest, a pickaxe and a pocket lantern.
Incidentally, in regards to these items, they were, as expected, not free.
One pickaxe was 5000 col and one pocket lantern was 2000 col.
In other words…at this point, adding up three people we already have 21,000 col in expenses.
Preparing tools for four people was a painful expense.
In particular, the pocket lantern is an item the consumption of which is intense and requires replacement often.
“Master. Please be at ease.”
When I took out a pocket lantern from the ball, a ball of flame flew out from Carolina’s index finger.
“Oh…. It suddenly got brighter, huh?”
“It’s a magic called ‘Flashlight’ that lights up the darkness. This magic can last for 8 hours when you use it.”
If we can use magic, we can keep down the consumption of the pocket lanterns.
I want to say that it would have been good if she said something before I bought the lanterns, but…saying that would be boorish.
“You saved us. As I thought, Caro is reliable.”
“…Thank you very much. I am unworthy of such words.”
On the other hand, the one who isn’t reliable is our goddess.
When I thought that she had been strangely obedient for a while, Aphrodite rushed ahead of the other members to collect the ores.
“Fufufu. Souta! Look at this!”
(Stone with a lot of iron)
It came out! It came out!
The ore was buried surprisingly nearby, huh?
“Amazing! How do you know where the ore is buried!?”
“Thiz isn’t a big deal. It’s because we gnomes eat ore. We can roughly understand where they’re buried by smell.”
I guess when your favorite food is ore you can use such an ability.
Perhaps this is…Hasn’t our chance to get rich quick become much closer!?
“H-hey. Sheryl. If that’s the case, can you use that to show us around to the places where a lot of ore will come out?”
“Yeah. Naturally I waz planning to do that, but…. But! What’s wrong Souta-zan!? Scary! Your eyes are scary!”
“Is that so? I’m the same as always, though?”
“Not at all! I feel like some distance suddenly got closer…Why so suddenly!?”
I was blinded by greed and my skinship became excessive.
If I’m hated by Sheryl, then this operation will be totally wasted.
“Hey. Caro. We aren’t…thinking the same thing, are we?”
“What a coincidence. Just now…I was thinking about saying the same thing.”
What are you two whispering secretly about?
“I won’t let Sheryl-chan be the only one you think well of…!”
“I won’t let you monopolize…Master’s affection!”
I don’t really understand why, but is this result alright?
When I had some skinship with Sheryl, I felt like flames of motivation lit in the other two’s eyes.
