[Azure Kingdom, Sky Castle, Asagi's Desk Office]

Located at a vacant turned personal office of Asagi for documents and works regarding the management of her kingdom, the person herself was currently browsing through the reports made by Michael as he recently got back from his day off and had recently returned to duty at the first sight of dawn.

Of course the reason why another room was used to deal with such a governmental work is because she herself felt like using the throne room for her personal work was quite inappropriate for the current situation of her kingdom, thus she then relocated all of her work to a vacant and spacious room of the castle.

At this moment while being buried with work as snow fall freely outside of her castle, Asagi was currently being accompanied by Ariel as both of them analyzed Michael's report. Alongside that some maids in the castle humbly entered the room as they served some warm coffee for Michael and Ariel, while serving hot chocolate for Asagi on her desk before leaving the site.

"So your saying that Darius had reported to you that the adventurers had found a mineral mine at the mountain south of the Kingdom?" asks Asagi

"Pretty much! Of course we did go to the coordinates given to us in the report and had confirmed its existence and i can say that the mine actually exist at a conspicuous space that we wouldn't even notice at a first glance your majesty!" answered Michael

"Must be the form of the terrain... in particular the mine only appear to be hidden in a conspicuous area is all because the form of the mountain, nevertheless this is a great news for us. If we carefully handle this and the mine might become another asset of the Kingdom." said Asagi

"Indeed! But putting the thought of the asset aside, there are monsters lurking in the mine reported by an adventurer under Darius" said Michael

"Monsters? What type?" asks Asagi

"Well Goblins, Witch Goblins, Hobgoblins, and also ogre, a  branch evolution of a goblin" reported Michael

"With such a wide variety of monsters lurking inside the newly discovered mine, there's bound to be a leader right? either Goblin King  or a Ogre Chieftain" hypothesized by Asagi

"Must be... such monsters are rated C-D rank  based on their strength after all" added Ariel

"Nevertheless we need to exterminate the monsters living inside it to acquire the mine, Give the royal decree to the guild to prepare a subjugation quest of the mine... adventurers ranging on all ranks could participate... also tell them each monsters killed is worth 50 silver coins, just to motivate the lower rankers to participate" ordered Asagi

"Understood!" replied Michael with a bow

"Also bring some small squad of angels to stand guard outside the mine, in case something unexpected happen" added Asagi

"It shall be done!" said Michael as he quickly drank his coffee before quickly heading out

With Michael finally leaving the room, Ariel then quickly handed out another issue to Asagi regarding the conditions of the farming firm of the Kingdom and quickly stated the problem.

"Next up is the issue in the farming firm your majesty!" said Ariel

"Umu!"

"Due to the recent weather of the kingdom is having, the leader of the farming firm indicated that it will be hard for them to plant another batch of crops after the upcoming harvest this month... after all as we go further north, the temperature of the surroundings would exponentially drop to the point that farming in this temp would be useless... How will we address this?" asks Ariel
