Part 5
The next day──
It was sunny, and was perfect hiking weather.
It seemed that the mountain trail went as far as the 《Master Swordsman’s Hermitage》. Stone posts with directional markers engraved were put up at regular intervals.
As expected of a place that was turned into a tourist attraction.
If not for the fact that this was a mountain in the Demon King territory, this climb would have had a bit of a picnic feeling to it but……
After walking for a bit, Demonic Beasts promptly appeared.
Since they were only a large black wolf, 《Black Fang》, and a gigantic ashen bear, 《Giant Grizzly》, there wasn’t any particular problem.
They were enemies that were about level 80.
Even so, when it came to the monsters of this region, he couldn’t easily win against them with the abilities of a half-baked Warrior-type.
In the end, he kicked them about with magic.
Six hours after leaving the town at the foot of the mountain, Sodmas, and climbing the mountain──
The summit was still far, but halfway up, it turned into a steep slope. Rather, it might be best to call it a cliff.
Rem frowned.
「……What part of this, is a path?」
A stone post was driven into a cliff.
The arrow pointed up.
「So it is telling us to climb.」
「……Looks like it can’t be helped.」
「Do you think it would work if I treat it like I’m climbing a tree?」
Shera placed a hand on the rock surface of the cliff. With it being treated as a path, it didn’t seem like it would break that easily.
For the Elves that lived up in trees, a cliff of this level wasn’t any trouble.
Rem also climbed quite easily. It was said that the ancestors of the Pantherians lived in the plains, but being cat-like, they also specialized in tree climbing.
The two of them swiftly climbed the cliff.
Diablo put his fingers on the protrusions of the rock surface.
──Although I could use Floating Magic, I guess I’ll stop with the cheating.
Although he was in the middle of growing as a Warrior, since he had the body of a level 150 Magician, climbing a cliff should be no trouble……
He casually looked up.
He ended up looking at Rem and Shera’s butts from directly below them.
「Buffoh!?」
「Nn? What’s wrong, Diablo?」
「……Did something happen?」
「It, it is nothing.」
Diablo returned his gaze to his hands, and focused on climbing the cliff.
It didn’t take that long of a time.
They scaled it.
Turning wide and flat, it was a shelf halfway up the mountain. On the mountain trail stone post, there wasn’t an arrow but letters engraved on it.
「……It says “arrived”」
Rem read it aloud.
Turning around──the town at the foot of the mountain looked miniature.
Shera sprawled out on top of the grassland and lied down.
「Fuah～, so we’ve finally climbed it.」
Matching with her breathing, her large breasts moved up and down.
Having climbed up the mountain, it was much cooler than ground level. Despite that, Shera had sweat coming out on her forehead.
Rem shrugged her shoulders.
「……It wasn’t that difficult of a cliff.」
「Ehー? It was really hard, you know.」
「……You just have too much needless flesh attached.」
「Ah, that might be it. Rem, since you don’t have a chest, it looks like you could climb easily.」
「I’ll push you off, you know!?」
「Stop it, stop it.」
While listening to the two of them mess around behind him, Diablo sent his gaze around.
On the plain that seemed like people had leveled it, there was a building at the center of it. There were no tiles on the roof, but having been made with wooden pillars and earthen walls, it vaguely had a Japanese style ambiance to it.
And then, in the surroundings of the estate, weapons were planted in the ground. Swords, spears, axes, sickles, hammers……
At a glance, they didn’t seem like valuable arms, but they were not poor quality articles either. They were carelessly thrust into the ground.
Rem lined up next to him.
「……If these are for decoration, then I would have to question their aesthetic sense, but it also looks like an old battlefield.」
Diablo nodded.
「So that building is the hermitage that the Master Swordsman lives in.」
「……Most likely.」
「Let’s go.」
He started walking.
Shera, who was lying down, hurriedly stood up.
「Hawaー, wait upー.」
