"Artemis, can you go back to your bow again?

I asked, as I stowed my outstretched stick back in its place.

I don't mind going ...... to the bow, but why?

I just want to see if I can get you back to the moon.

Is that ...... even possible?

Artemis took a bite out of my proposal.

No, ...... we won't know if it will work until we try. Well, ...... don't get your hopes up too high, but I'd appreciate it if you'd follow me.

"Wow ......, okay.

Artemis returned to her bow form, although she was a little less excited because I didn't assure her that it was possible.

I equipped Artemis as a bow and rode the myotome cloud with the Caucasians.

The reason I asked Artemis to return to her bow form was so that we could travel together in the myotrope.
Artemis had nothing to do with my defeat of Sun Wukong in my previous life, so she slipped through when I tried to get on the Mythic Cloud.
But just as I don't go naked just because I ride the Mythic Cloud, my equipment and belongings can act in the Mythic Cloud with me.

Once I was in the cloud, I started my ascent.

I'm headed for the moon, of course.

The environment above the troposphere is not conducive to human life, so of course the shield of the myotrope is activated.

If I could reach the moon with this, it would be a lot easier.
I was thinking that, and I just kept on increasing the altitude of the myotrope.



I'll be back.



I'm not sure I can go any higher.

About 20 minutes had passed since I started my ascent in the myotrope.
About twenty minutes into the ascent, the Caucasus said to him, when it had passed the highest point of the cloud.

Indeed, the funicular cloud was not going to rise any higher.
At first, it was gaining altitude with the wind, but now it was only gaining two to three centimeters per second.

It is only a matter of time before it comes to a complete standstill.

Anyway, I decided to check the height we were at.
I looked around ...... for a good indicator, and moved in a cirrus cloud to a nearby cloud.

I plunged a piece of paper into the cloud with the magic of acid/alkaline determination (litmus).
Then, the ...... paper turned red all at once.

...... is a mother-of-pearl cloud.
If you are as high as this cloud, then you are in the stratosphere (20-30 km altitude).
That height seems to be the limit of the funicular cloud.

Of course, this altitude is far from the moon.
After all, the distance from the surface to the moon is 380,000 km.

"Caucasus ......, maybe you can fly up to 10000 times higher than this ......?

"No way.

I tried to ask him, but he kicked me out.

...... Well, I guess I've run out of ideas.
There was no point in staying in the stratosphere forever, so I decided to return to the surface.

Well, it's going to take me another 20 minutes to get back anyway, so I'll have to think of a better plan.




"Valerius, didn't it work?

As I was pondering this, a female voice came from the telepath.
The Caucasus and Beelzebub were both male. ...... So, Artemis?

"Artemis, you can use telekinesis?

I'm sorry. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

...... It was even intercepted.

I'm not going to take precautions against interception of telemarketing unless I have to.
I don't have any problem with being heard.

In fact, it's a nice discovery to be able to have a strategy meeting together.

"Artemis ......, if you'd like to lend me your wisdom.

"I'm sorry, ........ I'm sorry you had to go through all this for me.

And so began a strategy meeting between the four of us (one, two, and a gun?). And so the four of us (one, two and one?) began our strategy meeting.



"How long does that stick Valerius was holding extend?

Artemis asked.

'Well, you know. According to one theory, it can reach as far as the thirty-three heavens. ...... If we do a simple calculation, we should be able to assume that it can extend 96,000 kilometers.

"Then we can easily reach the moon at .......

Artemis seemed to think that she could climb to the moon with a ruyi-bar.

The maximum length of a ruyirod is 96,000 km, and the distance to the moon is 380,000 km.
Certainly, it's not out of reach.

But ...... would be impossible to climb with that.

When he faced the boar, he evacuated to the sky like a pole vaulter. ...... But when he reached the moon, it would be impossible.
You'll probably lose your balance at some point.

"Distance is not a problem, but without a way to hold the pole in place, it's going to be tough. ......

"...... I see.

Artemis put his hand on his chin again and thought about it.

It was the Caucasus who came up with a new suggestion.

There was a lake nearby, wasn't there?　If you mean fix it, why don't we just stick a riddle stick in it ......?　Then we can freeze the lake.

...... That's a good idea.
I thought the Caucasus suggestion was a good idea.

Indeed, the current Caucasus can freeze that lake.

The problem of the foundation can be solved if it can be fixed that firmly.

So, there is only one more concern about .......

The only problem is that the organisms in the lake are ......

I was about to say ......, but then I stopped.
The last concern is the destruction of the lake's ecosystem. ...... That is, frankly, a silly question.



I've decided to make every effort to send Artemis back to the moon.
If I don't make that my first priority, what will I do?

That's when I made up my mind.
Artemis gave me an unexpected helping hand.

"The creatures in the lake can withstand freezing if I strengthen their life force.

...... Well, that solves the whole problem, doesn't it?
I was convinced of this and decided to wait for the Myotidium to reach the surface.
