Chapter 8 – All Purpose Pickaxe – Gale Tulle

After watching over Skor, I head into the forest.

I’m going to collect “wood,” “stone,” and “soil” … but both yesterday and today, I’m doing it “barehanded.” It’s very inefficient and very tiring.

In order to overcome this situation, “tools” are necessary. Even I, a former prince, can understand that much. To efficiently obtain materials… I wonder what kind of tools do I need.

And, as I crossed my arms and pondered over it, I suddenly heard a voice in my head.

“―― Do you want a tool?”

“I’ve heard this voice somewhere before.”

“It’s been a while, Rasty. Do you remember me?”

“You’re the one who gave me the Uninhabited Island Development skill. I’m grateful. Thanks to that, I’m living strong.”

“That’s good to hear. It seems like you’re stuck in a difficult situation. If you need tools, I’ll give them to you.”

“But I can’t just keep taking things from you.”

“Don’t hold back. Wasn’t the plan to turn this island into a country? To make your homeland, the Dvorzak Empire, your father, gasp in surprise?”

“Why that…?”

“I’m always watching you. It seems like you’re getting along with that elf who is the Holy Maiden, Skor Zlonitse.”

“Wha–!! You were watching?!”

“Of course. Since I have given you power, I have the duty to watch over you. Besides, I want to see how far you can develop the island, Rasty.”

It’s kind of hard to work when people are watching me… but thanks to the owner of this voice, I’m still alive. And now, they’re going to give me tools? What kind of goddess is this? Well, I don’t even know if it’s a goddess.

“Hey, why are you being so kind to me unconditionally? Is there any benefit for helping someone like me?”

“There is. You are the child of the former Demon King. That’s why.”

“Is that really true? I thought it was just my father’s nonsense or something.?”

“It’s all true. Rasty, you have power. If you use that power correctly, you will surely be able to create a great island country. So, I will give you this all-purpose tool, the ‘pickaxe’.”

A light descended in front of me.

The was a flash of light and the ‘pickaxe’ appeared. I got the pickaxe… wait, what the heck is this?!

“What do I do with this?”

“Take a closer look.”

[Attack Power: 10]

[Effect]

An all-purpose tool used by the spear god. Unlike normal pickaxe, it has no “durability value”. Can obtain 5-10 pieces of specific materials at once.

① Can cut down trees.

The materials obtained will be automatically stored in the item box. If the weight limit is exceeded, the pickaxe cannot be used.

This is amazing! With this “pickaxe”, I can collect more and more materials.

“Thank you! I wish you had given it to me from the beginning.”

“Because there is an order to things. But with this, the uninhabited island development will progress dramatically…”

“Thank you, nameless voice-san.”

“Oh, that’s right. I should introduce myself. My name is ‘Havamar.’ Well then, let’s meet again somewhere. Farewell.”
