I kept being called incompetent at home, but it seemed super competent globally

Well, it's time to go.

In the end, yesterday was a full day inn.

The next day.

We waited for Sister Shell in the square in front of the inn before we finally set out for the crusade.

I had plenty of rest yesterday, and I already had plenty of energy.

Ironically, I was only able to focus on rest because I couldn't leave the inn halfway.

"Please wait! It took me a while to prepare."

"It's late.... hm, what about the luggage?"

"It's all in the magic bag, so there's no problem."

Having said that, Sister took out a map from her pocket.

It seems to be quite old, and it has turned brown along the folds of the paper.

What's that?

"It's a map of Mount Larat. It says here," Dragon Valley, where the Golden Dragon lives. "

Sister pointed at the direction of the southeast from Chean under the map.

I can see that the contours of the map are large, and there is a very large valley.

Isn't it bigger than the valley of Razko, where the incident happened before?

And in front of it is a large ridge with contour lines.

Well, it's hard just to get to the valley.

I wonder if it's safe to climb up the mountain once and go down the ridge.

That's what our sister told us, and we looked up the mountain.

The white snow is beautiful, but it must be extremely cold.

"For the time being, Mount Larat is quite an alpine mountain, so I've been preparing for that..."

If possible, it's a place I don't really want to go.

"Well, it looks like there was a cave going through the Dragon Valley when I went out the other day..."

Here, Kurta murmured as if she remembered something.

And when I snatched the map from my sister, I pointed to the middle part of the ridge separating the Dragon Valley from Cheyenne.

Exactly there, it was marked as "Kuroun-dong" and it was like a place name.

"You can't do that." It's like a maze inside, and I can't get through without guidance from the locals. "

"Ahh, I can't get any help from the locals..."

Well, it seems that some poor-quality monsters have settled in these days, so it's tough either way.

After all, it seems that we have no choice but to go straight up the mountain and through the ridge.

When we're ready, we'll look up at the summit again.

The mountain skin, which normally looked beautiful, looked like a giant wall that prevented me from going anywhere.

When this happens, we'll have to go anyway.

"Oh, I'll have to do it!"

"Ah, hey! I'm in the lead!"

Having said that, Kurta starts to lead vigorously as she stands in front of everyone.

It's just that I've been here before, and I'm sure of my steps.

We honestly follow her and start climbing mountain roads.

Now, what kind of enemies are waiting for us?

My heart was half expectant and half anxious.

――● ――

Phew! You've reached a very high place!

"In time, the city was so small..."

Keep climbing the mountain trail for about two hours.

When we reached the open place through the rocky ground, we stopped and looked around.

If you look far down, Chee An's houses will look as small as a bean grain.

At some point, it seemed to have reached quite a high point.

Looking up to the sky, the clouds look much closer than usual.

"Ugh, it's time for the wind to get cold." There's a little snow left, too. "

"Yes, it would be warm if you had it."

Saying that, Sister Shell took the red magic stone out of the magic bag.

Even though it was simple enough to fit in my hand, the magic circle was engraved.

As soon as I received it, the warm air enveloped my whole body.

"Shut up! This one will warm your whole body!"

You're a wise man, aren't you?

Well! I need to refill my magic power regularly, but I don't need any warm clothes as long as I have this.

As she bragged, she ran to appeal to the warmth.

You must be very confident. You're in a good mood with your hands wide open.

But here she slips her feet in the snow.

"Ahhh!?"

"Sis!?"

I rushed to my sister in a hurry, and I managed to catch her fallen body.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Liza seems stunned at the cold sweat I've been sweating.

"What the hell are you doing?"

I just failed a little bit, just a little bit!

Shell-san blushes as if she is so ashamed of her unusual failure.

Eventually, she takes out her climbing boots and speaks quickly, as if to deceive.

"... even when it gets warm, the snow doesn't go away."

So be prepared only at your feet. Everyone brings their shoes, right? "

Of course, everyone has their share.

I just took out all the shoes I had in my magic bag.

Mount Larat was quite an alpine mountain, so he prepared himself well.

"Nnh, put it on quickly... nh?"

Rowga, what's the matter?

Doesn't that sound weird?

Huh? If you ask me, I'll hear you go.

Kurta put her hand on her ear and looked strange.

When I tried listening to her, I could hear a slight sound.

"This may be..."

When I raised my horrified gaze, I saw something like white smoke far above.

Moreover, while drawing a line on the mountain skin, it was coming at me with a violent momentum.

Definitely, this, this...!!

"Oh, it's an avalanche!!!!"
