The day after the party, we were visiting the valley where me and Yuki mined the Lebright Ore last time for rock climbing practice.

Along the way, while refilling the mushrooms I consumed yesterday.

There are only many mushrooms to pick this time of year.

It took a while, but there's no way I could ignore it, and Mary and Meatier were happy, so no problem.

That's why we actually arrived in the valley the morning after the party.

In addition to the last tool, rope ladders, piles, etc., are also available this time.

However, when it came to the appliances that broke at that time, they were rejected due to safety and reliability priorities.

"Is this where Nao and the others used it last time? If I were you, I wouldn't have to use a rope to climb, would I?

"Not here. But the purpose is to get used to the use of tools. You can't just do it in a dangerous place all of a sudden, can you?

If you can overcome the fear of falling, it's the rock walls around here that are likely to climb without the use of all kinds of equipment.

But in case you think about it, climbing without a lifeline is risky.

"I see, this is a practice stage and"

"That's the thing. So, Toya, can you pull the rope to the top?

"... where?

"There."

Toya, looking up at the tip I pointed at, looks back at me with a slightly more serious face.

"Free climbing that far? Pretty expensive, huh? If you fall, you'll die, won't you?

"Oh, don't die without a problem. The ground is a solid bedrock."

………

"No, because Toya says you can climb without rope"

It was very reprehensible. I was gazed at, so excuse me for once.

It doesn't necessarily mean you can do the same thing with a dangerous place and a safe place, does it?

If there is an average platform 50 cm high and an average platform 50 meters high, someone who can walk in the same way, the person is quite allergic. The mental side.

"I'm not kidding, Nao's coming. You don't have to act senseless and dangerous."

"That's right. If Toya comes down, I can't take it."

"Right, that's Toya's physique... Oh, maybe you can rotate in the air and land off your feet?

"No, I'm not a cat!?... I can't even say it's impossible"

Can you do that?

And speaking of cats, Mary and Meatier.

Could they...?

"-? What is it, Mr. Nao?

"Nao, brother, what?

"No, nothing."

I can't just say, give it a try.

"Well, I'll be there."

Wear the harness and rope securely, I also use the hardware along the way, while securely securing the rope to the top hardware.

It is also confirmed that it has not been damaged or damaged in the last few days.

Soil magic holes a little away from that hardware, inject adhesive, punch piles in, and secure ropes there as well.

This one is insurance. If the hardware breaks, expect me to endure it over here.

Again, making sure they were both fixed with no problems, I passed on the rope and went down the sultry and rock walls.

"Okay, okay. Who are you going from?

"Let's do it from me. Why don't Nao build another place where we can practice?

"Well, just one place isn't efficient. Can you please?"

"Copy that. Think we'll make something a little further away, a little higher"

"Oh, I'll support you then. I did it on our pair last time."

He gave Yuki, who raised his hand with shuba, the look that Haruka had said something to him, but looked around at the faces of Toya and Natsuki, sighing and nodding.

"Given Toya's weight, I think it would be better if Natsuki and I were here."

Yeah, the three of you, Yuki, Mary, and Meatier, if Toya's weight has a gravitational acceleration, she's going to be lifted normally.

"I get it. Be careful."

"Yeah, I got it! At times like this, I'm serious!

Yuki smiled and slapped her chest.

But I wish I could have been serious about the night of the party.

◇ ◇ ◇

The other place you built your practice is roughly twice as tall as the first place.

Almost near the top of the valley.

Until about half of it feels like the first place, but after that, the slope becomes tight gradually, and the last quarter or so is completely vertical.

There are few clues, and it's almost impossible to climb without punching the pile in.

At least for us now.

By the way, I'm also getting some of my proposed bouldering hold-style stuff, but for this one, I'm just going to practice installing it, and I'm not actually going to use it.

Because climbing is not the purpose, it is the purpose of acquiring technology.

Two climb, the rest support.

I repeated the practice like that, because of my high physical abilities, or at the end of day one, everyone was able to climb without some problems. - Except Yuki.

After all, he expects me to develop skills.

To Yuki, who doesn't practice, Mary and Meetia are very honest and say, 'Why aren't you practicing?' I was asking, 'Yuki replied,' I can climb fine! 'A very painful object.

You, even though you can remember it relatively quickly if you copy it, you're bad at first, aren't you?

You understand that?

... Well, you should be ashamed of yourself then.

Make it easier. That's acceptable, right?

Day two moves the practice to a somewhat more dangerous place.

A vertical wall from the beginning, subtly overhanging around the end.

I'm the first party member with the longest experience to climb in, punch in piles, etc. to make sure it's safe.

I wondered what would happen to the overhanging place... but can you do something about it?

I support my body with one finger, I can't do anything about it, but if I hang about three fingers of one hand, I tremble at my physical ability, which is fine.

This is absolutely because muscle strength and muscle mass, and weight are not proportional to it.

Simply put, 'Magic is amazing!' That's the story.

So, well, [Climbing Lv.1] was finally added to my status when I was able to free-climb (of course, I have a lifeline attached to it) the overhang wall.

... No, level 1 standards, not too high?

Can't I rely on the appliance?

It's good because I could get it.

Well.

"(Yuki, I got it, skill)"

"(Really!? Can I copy it?

"(Oh. But in the end, practice...)"

"Hey! Me and Nao are going to be collecting some Lebright Ore, so keep practicing here!

Whoa, that's Yuki. Cheating. Did you get that hand?

Well, except for Mary and Meatier, I realize that.

"... yes. Be careful, okay?

"Yeah. I think we'll be right there, huh?

Yuki nodded flatly, in the first place, even as he was turned away from Hulka with a slightly dazed gaze.

However, it is not the first place to mine, but twice the height.

I have to give him a little thrill. You're gonna do rock climbing because of this?

"The lifeline is firmly tied, isn't it? Let's climb up without ropes or hardware."

"... suddenly?

"It's okay, it's okay. Even if it falls, I'll follow you!

"Really, please? It might be more interesting to fall a little longer, even if it's thrilling, because you don't have to think about it, do you?

"... oops. Sure."

"That 'of course' means you'll pull it right off!? Believe me, right?!?"

To the extent that it won't fall to the bottom, I thought I'd just spare a little bit of rope... Yeah, Yuki's in tears, so let's stop it.

"Yes, yes, I'll do it right, climb up"

"Please! Really! Like Nao and Hulka, high places, they're not fine!

I'm not so fine, except on a tree.

That's strange, even though in a dindle tree you're climbing many times higher than this cliff.

"Because it's okay. Here!"

"Ugh, am I supposed to believe you?

"Don't worry. You swore to Hulka the other day that you'd never peek again."

"That's totally unbelievable!

"I knew it!... No, well, I'll do it right. There you go!"

My back is pushed and Yuki turns to the rock wall looking back at this one with a flicker.

And it attaches to the rock wall, and as I advised, it climbs up without a hand on the hardware.

I pull the rope according to its speed and adjust it so it doesn't relax.

Because when I slip my legs, when I fall gakun, my heart is seriously going to stop.

Even though I know it's okay.

"Are you all right?

"Yeah, it's about the same around here as before."

When mining Lebright Ore, Yuki is climbing for the first time.

Problem is, around getting vertical.

From there, Yuki's speed also drops, clues fairly carefully, searches for a foothold and climbs.

It's not too much yet, but it's because you've been watching us climb, or rather firmly identify the place, and make no mistakes.

... No, I don't want you to fail.

Never, because I don't want you to have the experience of wandering around a few dozen meters above ground.

Because I don't want you to share my exciting experience.

But with the same experience, you get a sense of union, don't you?

"Come on, come on..."

I hear Yuki slightly.

And as the saying goes, we're almost there where the rope is fixed.

"... good! Nao, we're here!

"Shit. - Congratulations. Then come down as you are this time. Because it's harder to get down there."

Looking back at this one. Responding to Yuki waving, give her the next challenge.

"Heh heh, I'm so scared to go down for free climbing or something...... good luck"

It fits Yuki, who immediately began to descend, and now loosens the rope.

With the underfoot hard to confirm, it's pretty hard to get off without even using a rope... I knew it wouldn't fail, huh?

You don't already have the skills for this?

"- Phew, no, no. Arrive! You did it! Don't fall!

"Ooh."

"Not heartfelt!

Throw it. Yuki swells her cheeks to my blessings, but there's no choice, right?

I had a pretty hard time... I knew it was subtly unreasonable.

"So, have your skills been activated?

"Oh, right....... yeah. I am, thank you, Nao."

"You're welcome. This nasty feeling of mine convinces me to make the most of my time"

"Haha... you're sorry?

I shrug my shoulders and laugh bitterly at Yuki, who meditates on one eye and joins hands.

Forgive me for that.

"Good. - Well, what would the Hulkas look like? Is it time to get skills"

"Right. Go back."

Returning to the Hulkas, they were all wearing [Climbing Lv.1] safely.

I said 'maybe it's a good idea to do a free climb' when I left here, but they actually showed it as a skill relatively quickly by making it the main thing.

Unfortunately, I can't see the status of Mary and Meatier, but it looks like they can now go up and down on the same level as the Hulkas, so there won't be a problem.

"For now, do you want to achieve your goals?"

Hulka shook her head at me with a sigh of relief.

"No. I still have practice using the rope ladder."

"Hmm? Is a rope ladder something that needs practice?

"Nao, have you ever used it?

"... but not"

But it's a ladder, right?

It's a lot easier than just going up and down with the rope, isn't it?

"Because it's not like a regular ladder, a rope ladder. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

"... when you say that, don't you feel like you need practice?

It makes sense.

It's not nice to think cheaply without going through anything.

So I climb to the top of the valley and try to drape a rope from there.

The fairly long rope ladder got to the bottom properly, and it was made using wire. That wasn't a problem at all in terms of strength either... Yeah, it's pretty hard to use.

It's good in the beginning, but as I go down, my blah blah and wobble get bigger, and unlike a normal ladder, I get off quickly with a left and right stick, I can't do that.

On top of that, if you let it drip too far between walls, it hits the wall when you hang your hands and feet.

Honestly, when it comes to getting off, it might be faster to use the rope.

However, the rope ladder was still more convenient when it came to climbing, so we repeatedly went up and down the rope ladder until we were all used to it.
