Me and Yuki hold the rope firmly in their seatbelts so that they can use both hands, and use the picks to sharpen the mineral veins.

Since it is not so hard, it is not difficult to dig up the mineral vein itself, but it is difficult to avoid removing it.

Scrape little by little as you wrap one hand around it and go inside the leather bag.

I feel like it's mixed with other than Lebright Ore, but I'll have it sorted when I use it.

If I cared there, I wouldn't keep my arm and strength.

Would you have continued the work of using such a nerve for an hour or so?

After a sigh of breath where the leather bag in his hand was almost full, Yuki also stopped his hand and hung on the rope to rest.

"Good day, Nao. I think this is enough, so let's get off?

"If you think there's enough yuki to use, there's no problem. Then let's get off."

In the case of these rock walls, it is in some ways more difficult to get down than when climbing.

That is because the scaffolding is difficult to check because the eyes are not underneath, but if there is a rope, that point is resolved.

We went down the wall relying on the rope, and in a matter of minutes, we get downstairs, pull the rope and retrieve it.

Unfortunately, I can't recover the hardware I'm hooking up to, but safety is a priority there.

Our own lives are more important than money and environmental issues.

It's not like plastic, so it will return naturally in time.

"Phew. In the meantime, you've accomplished your goal!

Lift up the leather bag with the lebright ore for a bit and snort again at Yuki, who laughs nicely.

"Including testing the equipment."

"Yeah. Overall, well done, wasn't it? I used it well."

"One kind broke, though. After all, simplicity is strong."

Fittings used to secure the rope.

That's already the "strength of the material. It's just that ', because it's something like that, I'm sure I didn't have any anxiety about the appliance because I used it.

There was anxiety that the rock would not crush, but it felt perfectly fine if the strength was checked in advance with the pick.

At least, the fittings never fell off from where the strength was checked and installed, and my judgment would not be so wrong.

"Well, with a simple structure, it's hard to wake up unexpected. That's the same thing about punching piles in."

"That's it. - But if you're going to punch the pile in because of it, why don't you install a bouldering hold? The goal is to make it easier to get up and down."

"Oh, that's good! Hiring! Right, the purpose isn't rock climbing."

For us, it's only a means to rock climbing, a sport designed to climb on our own.

If it can be easier, I want to be proactive.

"Oh, then you can magically dig walls in the first place and build scaffolding or something...?

With my index finger pinned, I shake my head at Yuki for saying that.

"No, that would be difficult. Ordinary rocky mountains, anyway, in the dungeons."

This is sometimes difficult to magic against the dungeon itself, but it also has to do with the repair function of the dungeon.

If the wall of the dungeon is scratched by a magic attack, for example.

The wound is relatively short - if not at a collapsing level, it will be repaired in a matter of days or so.

But like the transfer point we set up, we don't easily absorb anything embedded in the dungeon unless we leave it for a long time.

"If you think about it, a magically built scaffold would, perhaps, normally be repaired"

"If you punch the pile in, will it stay,"

"Even if you magically drill a hole, if it's just for the pile, it's still better."

It doesn't look stylish, like I'm out of magic on my way up.

Conversely, if it's a natural wall like this, it's easy to climb by using soil magic.

"You're not going to practice."

"Well, if me and Nao work hard, we're gonna be able to build a staircase or something if we get to where we were just now."

Even if mining can be done, it will not help in the dungeon, so half of the purpose will be unfulfilled.

"So, what do we do? Now that you've got your first purpose, you can go home like this... practice some more? About a day today."

"Don't you have to rush home, too? We need practice anyway."

"Well, I'll support you downstairs, Nao. Practice."

Specifically, support refers to keeping the rope underneath so that it does not fall straight down in case it slips.

However, you pull the rope to stop it from falling, so if you do it poorly, the skin on your hand will peel off due to friction with the rope, and even if you wear leather gloves, it probably hurts.

"Is that good?

"Yeah. I can do it when I get here with the Hulkas, right?

"Well, those guys need practice too... Well, good to see you. Keep your gloves tight."

"Ho ho ho ho."

With a very light reply, Yuki ripens her job well and I try to improve my rock climbing skills.

First, once you climb quite a bit higher than where you just mined, hang a rope there, use it as a lifeline, and repeat up and down the rock wall.

I can't help but do it in the same place, so I also set up ropes and practice where I might not be able to climb.

About twice along the way, I almost fell, but thanks to Yuki, I was not particularly injured, and I arrived safely that evening.

"Good day, you can leave here early tomorrow morning and go back to Raffan"

"Right. - Well, if we don't find mushrooms that feel good along the way,"

"Yeah, you'll want to pick it when you find it, mushroom"

Me and Yuki look at each other and laugh all together.

It's autumn.

If mushrooms are not collected this time of year, it will be difficult to obtain them as ingredients.

If you go to a supermarket, it's not the same modern era where you can always buy mushrooms at a steady price.

"By the way, Nao. [Climbing] Skills, aren't they growing?

"Er... no. I just started today. It won't be that easy."

I made an effort, and the walls here allow me to climb fine, but unfortunately no skills are added to the status.

Is the practice time too short or not enough practice?

Should I try harder walls to gain as a skill?

"Oh well. Too bad. - If I had, I'd have thought of Copi."

"Behold! That's cheating, Yuki! The fruit of my efforts."

"[Skill Copy], because that's my advantage! Save time."

Yuki is right, considering the whole party thing, it's efficient, and it's in the interest of the whole thing in a short time... there's something I'm struggling with that I don't subtly interpret.

"Besides, I've been working hard all day today to support you, haven't I? You know, holding the rope."

"Mmmm..."

Was that cooperative in my practice?

So, if I train, it will improve Yuki's skills.

Although limited to level 1.

"So until someone learns [to climb] my skills, I am in full support!

"... I don't know"

I didn't have enough ingredients to deny Yuki's words.

In fact, it's efficient.

Then I have no choice.

"Okay, I get it. I'll make you copy then. 'Cause I'm gonna teach you Bishibishi."

"Huh? It just tells me you're rusty, but when activated -"

"Bishibishi, I'll tell you!

In my mental health - just to make sure Yuki's safe!

And the next day.

When we left the valley, we were once again enthusiastic about mushroom hunting, and it was not until the day after that that that we returned to Raffan.
