"But... where the hell did you come from?

"I flew around the side of the mountain. I called..."

I couldn't hear anything from the wind.

"There may be others, and I'd like to go back down once..."

You'll see that this is actually done, but climbing is easy, but it's unusually difficult to get down. I mean... I can't.

If you're going down, there's only one way to jump and use wind magic to prevent an impact...

"We should climb like this. Nil, we're going up first.

"Yes, I understand!

I decided to go up with Nil and put some piles on the spot.

Soon Nil and I will finish climbing the wall.

On the horizontal floor, it seems like we can step on it and pull up Senna and Rato.

Release the fireball twice, wait for the signal, and then pull it up.

"... that? Was Senna so heavy...?

If you pull it up while saying something rude...

"Master..."

"What's wrong?

Nil peeked into it and pulled it up.

"It seems that Sena made me pull up the material... because it's unbearable. Senna..."

"... hahaha! Looks like Senna!

I can imagine Senna laughing that she made a successful joke downstairs.

After that, Snow Crow did not appear, and Senna and Rato were able to pull up safely.

"Sena, it's horrible to pull something like that up.

"It's hard to get the Snowclaw material, so it's a waste to throw it away.

Indeed, it is difficult to say that snowcrawls that only inhabit the cold are commonly known monsters. There are so many adventurers that they don't know, and it's unusual.

"Besides, these Snow Crow feathers are a good winter protector. It's about time you got your winter suit on.

It doesn't mean that the cold suit is too much to use, but as you climb the needle ice peak, the ambient temperature drops and the cold that you can't stand with just the cold suit you're wearing now.

"Even so..."

"Nil."

When I told Nil with my eyes that I didn't care, he finally forgave me.

Nevertheless... the first monster I encountered here is the Snowclaw of an S-Rank Monster...

"Rato, do you think that's why the Snow Crow won't send other monsters?

"Hmm... I think that's true... but I don't know... I think there's something else.

"Something else?

Yeah.

Rat has twitched his nose several times, but he doesn't seem to know exactly.

"Maybe... snow god?

After listening to Angak, I really became aware of his existence.

"I don't think it was the Snow Crow who helped Angak, and there's something else..."

I don't think that helping Angak is at least a belligerent...

"Master. There seems to be a good place over there.

When I think about something I don't know well, Nil's voice returns to me.

"That's enough for today, we'll check the surroundings tomorrow.

Sometimes it's about the Snow Crow, and it's a little early, but today's exploration is over.

Nil found a rift in the ice.

It's a huge vertical space, but there's no problem with putting rats in,

"Master. I'll sew a torn shoulder.

As usual, Nil will tell me as soon as the ground is finished. She seemed to be quite worried about it, and she was looking at the scattered and torn shoulder during work.

It's so cold that if you leave a hole open, just be honest with me, you'll come and sit right next to me.

"... really, do you really believe in Sinya?

"What happened suddenly?

"You were doing such a dangerous thing in the battle before, but you didn't get lost at all, did you? That's why I believed in you from the bottom of my heart...

"Of course. I've told you so many times.

"No, it's not what I'm listening to and what I'm actually seeing.

Nil is tickling my clothes, while Senna is tickling the wings of a snowflake.

So far, Sena and Nil get closer and talk alone.

Some of the people I've met have gotten along with Nil. However, because of her status as a slave, she tended to look down a little and be reluctant.

But Sena isn't.

It is true that there is no slave status on this island, but I have no idea what Nil's identity is because of the existence of Gonzo.

It's not like I don't care. I haven't seen Nil's identity.

Nil seemed a little confused at first because she had never met such a person, but as she looked at Sena's personality, she was drawn in.

Maybe on the continent... no, no one else in this world could ever get along with Nil anymore.

It's funny what I'm saying, but you have to thank Sena.

I saw them laughing and talking, and I thought so.

Sinja, are you happy?

"Oh, Nil made a good friend. I'm glad."

When Sinya is happy, I'm happy too!

I'm stroking Rat's neck like that...

Shit!

Suddenly Rat's ear stood up and raised his face.

"What's wrong?

"... I don't know... I hear something bad.

"Bad sound? Where'd you start?

"Hmm... I don't know... it's gone.

I didn't hear you at all, but... if you disappear... are you okay?

"Should I do something?

If the monsters are approaching, we should prepare them with traps and more.

"Yeah, that's not what it sounds like. It's louder... it's heavy.

"I'm afraid of that rhetoric...?

Without detailed information, my imagination gets bigger.

"I don't know the details either... sorry..."

Reach out again to the lewd rat and stroke your neck.

The next day, you'll find out who this bad sound is.

As soon as I woke up, I noticed a change outside.

Buuuuuuuuu!

Snowstorm.

Snow and wind beyond sight.

"This... can't get out of the way.

"There's nothing we can do about the weather..."

"All I can do is wait and calm down.

"I see... ah. That's right, Mr. Sinya! This!"

Senna gave me a jacket made of snowflake feathers.

It is woven so that it can be stopped in front of me.

"Hmm. Can Senna sew?

"Hmm... honestly, I don't have much confidence, so Nil helped me. The rough part is made by us and finished with Nil. I also made Nil for myself.

Snow owls are ten meters long. Every feather is about the size of my thigh. It was made by sewing it together.

I got my jacket, but it's much lighter than I expected.

Besides, it is quite warm when I try to weave it.

"It's warm.

"It seems that the fever is not escaping. Besides, magic and simple flying tools can be bounced back, so I think it will be a treasure.

When I stroke the surface of the jacket, it is rough. I wonder if the inner feeling of the feather feels good...

"For the time being, the wings are washed clean, so don't worry about the area.

"Thank you.

I didn't know you were even handling germs... that's right.

If the labourers Senna and Nil tag together, they could make a terrible fortune...

Buuuuuuuuu!

Heavy wind sounds.

For the time being, it seems like it will continue.

The sky visible from the rift is black. I can't even see the gap between the clouds.

"Well... this could be a lot of stuff.

"Even now, if there's snow on the hard way, it'll be even harder..."

"Give me a break..."

After all, the snowstorm stopped after noon.

"It's finally clear.

After lunch and go out, there is a world of silver and silver.

The sun shines back on the snow, dazzling.

* Giggle *

As you step out, your feet are pouring into the snow that's falling.

"Looks like it's loaded up pretty good... I'm afraid of an avalanche. The coat is also white, so let's wrap the rope around everyone's hips to avoid losing it.

If we were to go into distress in these snowy mountains, we wouldn't be looking for icebergs.

The order remains the same: Me, Senna, Nil, Rato.

Rats alone won't be able to find us even if they escape, nor will they be able to handle it because they are mentally connected to me.

The idea was that it would be the most agile thing to do when using a rope, and that it would get in the way.

"I'm going to climb this slope for a while.

Out of the ice rift and looking around, you can see the shallowest slope ever.

Since it was a journey behind the ice walls, it was the first time I had just walked on snow.

Gh... ggh...

Every time you step out of your feet, new snow is squeezed and you make a sound with good ear damage.

"Without Shinya, you'd be walking up here carrying a lot of luggage.

Thanks to the inventory, we're all pretty light. Everything except for walking and climbing is stored in the inventory.

"That's right… it could have taken more than twice as long to carry a lot of luggage.

"Wonderful. The nature of dark flowers, this climbing... seems to have taken into account the fact that Shinya climbed. Shinya-san... rather than Watanabe...

"Fufufu, that's right.

Nil was told that an event quest was occurring to follow the legend of Siki Hua.

The advent of Quests means that the very existence of Shiki Kawa is probably for the Watanabe. It's not impossible for Sena to feel that way.

"It's thanks to Shinya that I hope that Sakura's disease may be cured, and I have to thank her.

Nil and Sena's voice can be heard from behind between the snow-stamping sound.

If you talk too much, you're going to lose your health... but you don't have to be so blind, you keep quiet and move on.

Walking while listening to Nil and Sena, it was more than ten minutes later.

Sinja, I can hear that sound again.

I feel Rat nervous.

"Bad noise?

Yeah, it's bigger than that.

I stopped and cleared my ears.

Nil and Sena also feel something in my condition. They close their mouths and clarify their ears as well.

………………

Huuuuuuuuuu...

…………………

If we don't make any noise, we can only hear the sound of the wind blowing through.

………………

Gobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb....

In the back of that sound, you can hear a heavy and ominous sound.

"This is..."

Shit!!

"" "" Huh?!

The moment I thought it was a loud noise, there was a wave so bad that snow smoke rises from the snow dozens of meters in front of us.

Shit!

"" "" Ugh!!

Once again, if you feel a greater shake, the snow smoke rises from where it rises, drawing a curve.

Snow smoke that rose to draw a half-circle around us. Everyone would have noticed that the snow smoke, the shaking, and the noise were loud.

Shit!

"Let's run!!

Running toward the snow smoke in front of him at his own discretion.

The gentle air turns around and turns into an urgent one.

I'm moving!

Shit! Shit!

Down the frontier where the snow smoke went up... that is, the part where we're running slowly moves backwards.

An avalanche is about to break out.

We don't know how many tons of snow are moving in total.

No, it's not just that the snow is slipping. The ice that was supposed to be under the snow is cracked and slipping.

Perhaps the heavy snow of the blizzard is unbearable, and part of the ice is cracking and collapsing.

If we flush together like this, even if we use the magic of the Holy Spirit, it is doubtful whether we will survive. Magic with powers beyond human intelligence is the Holy Spirit Magic, but natural disasters are also comparable to it... no, it has powers beyond that.

"Run!!

I feel the snow under my feet slipping backwards.

The surrounding scenery flows forward, even though it should be running at full capacity.

If Rato had developed magic, he might have had a little more room.

However, nobody could have expected this to happen.

Even if it's only Senna...

I thought so, but unfortunately I can't afford that.

After seeing the snow and smoke, only a few seconds later, the snow in the scaffold began to flow.

Rato, go ahead!

But!

"Go!!

Rats are the only ones who can avoid this avalanche right now. But if you help us, you'll definitely not make it. In a state where everyone is connected by rope, three people will be pulled (not) at the same time.

Ugh!!

Rat listens to me and leaves us behind.

If Rato gets out, there might be something he can do. Much better than slipping down for all of us.

Run with all your might over the sliding snow. Sena is almost dragged by me.

But I can't stop my feet.

Fuck! Fuck!

Kh!

The snow took my foot and I couldn't move it well.

Gogogogogogogogogogogogogo!

Snow and ice are already on the move.

You can see that the half-circle cut snow is heavily skewed and falling.

Critical… it's about to reach the other side.

Sinya!!

Rats standing on snow without avalanches can't help but call me.

Cracks enter the snow we run, and they collapse from end to end. Snowflake rises and vision sucks. I can't see Rat anymore. But...

"Ooooooooooo!!

The ground is already collapsing. I will step out with all my might and blow my body across the shore with the magic of the wind.

Gah!

Pierce a pickle in both hands onto a cliff wall, then pierce Eisen into the wall.

Unlike the soft part of the surface, it is hardened and barely punctured.

Gagga, gagga!

Pitched pickets and Eisen shredded the ice and my body drifted off.

Gah!

But somehow my body stopped and I was able to stick to the wall.

Zogogogogogogogogogogogogo!

I don't know if it's down or behind, but I can hear a great sound like an explosion anyway. If I had been swallowed, I would not have been safe.

Nevertheless, I still can't feel safe.

After that, we have to support Senna and Nil's weight.

Both of you have not yet reached the wall. Besides, it seemed slight before I jumped, but the wall that I stuck on was slightly down to the inside, and Senna and Nil would not reach the wall and become suspended.

In addition, my vision is now completely whiteout. It's pure white and I can't see anything.

Gagging!

I put a pickle in the ice in case of an impact, but it's subtle if I can stand it. I would like to draw a magical formation and fix my body even more, but I don't think I have time for that.

Keep your body as close to the wall as possible and ready for impact.

Gogogogogogogogogogogogogo!

After a loud avalanche was heard, Gakkun and his body were pulled down.

Gah gah gah gah!

Your body is pulled down and you slip down the wall for about one meter.

Gu!

Momentum somehow stopped. But my feet are pretty close. It is possible that everyone will be upside down with the next impact.

Gah!

Gagga, gagga!

"Cumming!

Your body is pulled down and your feet are completely off the wall.

"Ooh!

Put your strength into both arms and stick to the wall.

Gagagagagagagagagaga....

Pickel scratched the ice wall, leaving a few centimeters to stop.

"Ahhhhh...."

I have two pickles to support my weight for three people. My feet are hanging in the air. Senna and Nil were also scattered.

"Nil! Do you want to stick it somewhere?!

I don't know if I can hear you... but I'll scream out loud for now.

But he won't reply.

"I can't..."

I wonder if they're safe in the first place...

The surroundings are completely white and I don't know what it is at all.

Sinya! Are you okay?!

"Pretty close..."

I can't see Rat, but I know he's worried.

Gah...

"Huh?!

The picket that was supposed to stick out sounds like scratching the ice. I thought the descent had stopped, but it was gradually falling.

"Nh!!

It certainly falls off as it is.

Looks like Senna or Nil is on the move. A shake is transmitted, and a slight vibration is transmitted to the tip of the pickle, which is the convergence point.

If this is the reason why we're moving like this... it's going to be decided.

Perhaps Nil is moving, assuming something happened, even though I didn't climb up.

Are you climbing the rope, or is there something nearby that might catch you...

Since there is a Senna in between, the shake is greatly dampened there, so it will be done to this extent.

Even so, it won't take a minute.

Gah... gah... gah...

"Nil... hurry..."

Now all we have to do is believe Nil. If Nil didn't make it... even if we could draw a magical formation by the time we fell, with this blank white view, we don't know which way to release magic when we fell.

Gah.....

Only a few more centimeters.

The shake is just getting bigger, and it's hard to stop.

Gagga, gagga!

"Nh!!

Finally, Pickel leaves the ice wall and my body falls vertically.

Your stomach feels lifted up, and you're getting cold and sweaty.

I immediately started drawing magical formations, but as I thought, my vision was so bad that I didn't know which was up and which was down.

"Nh!!

There's nothing you can do to protect yourself. Somehow the magic that could save Senna and Nil...
