　After crossing several ups and downs, the cave came into view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A cave on the slope of a mountain, if you will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The entrance is not that big, but it probably goes all the way to the back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, there are a herd of demons that live there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Come to think of it, I have heard that most of the people who have crossed the Daisetsuzan Mountains to the west are the ones who have been lucky enough to find such a hole.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the holes are of adequate size, even large monsters cannot enter.

　And they can withstand the cold because they can keep out the rain and snow and also keep out the wind.

　The demons that live here probably roost here for their safety.

　The sun is still above us, and there is still time before the sun sets.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now, I wonder if I should rush into the hole or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, let's not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We will have to fight with the demons and if we successfully capture them alive, we will need to secure them.

　It would be dangerous to reuse a cave we don't know what's inside, so let's make a temporary position here too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With this in mind, we left the area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We found a place far from the cave with a slightly protruding top, so we used [wall construction] there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It doesn't fit perfectly, but we succeeded in turning it into a place where we can rest our bodies by surrounding it with walls and making the upper part a natural ceiling.

"In a situation like this, Brother Ars can make a better base, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mutter to myself as I look at the temporary base with a draft coming in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought about this many times as we climbed up the snowy mountain until we arrived at Elmeralda.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This wilderness is much tougher than I thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought that the ice absorbing stones would make it easier to cross the mountain, but that was not the case at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we were to cross the mountains, we would have to move every day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And human beings always need to rest their bodies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, we need to sleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this purpose, it is essential to secure a place to sleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even in a normal march, it was necessary to take this into account from the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the size of the army grows, it is necessary to secure a place where the number of people can sleep, and to prepare meals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In such a snowy mountainous area, the only decent food is the body of a demon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Other than that, rice, wheat, or vegetables would be better to have, and fire would be needed to cook them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That means we have to have firewood that is not wet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if I have a magic bag, it would be difficult to move with an army.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the most, a small cavalry like this one would be the limit, but I doubt if it would be able to go beyond the great snowy mountains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the other hand, Brother Ars can build sturdy houses as he likes with his magic power, can make a lot of magic bags, and can go to and from other places with transfer stones and transfer magic circle.

　Moreover, when they crossed the Great Snowy Mountains, he was able to attach an ice spirit to each of his soldiers by "summoning ice spirit" so that the soldiers could act independently away from Brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The more I think about it, the more I realize that crossing the Snow Mountain with an army was something that only Brother Ars could have done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a little frustrating.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I wanted to surpass Brother Ars, I would want to be able to cross a mountain like this on my own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I am sure that I can't do it the same way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe I'll figure out a way to get over the big snow mountain myself...?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mr. Alphonse, the base is set up."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, okay. Okay, now it's time to get down to business. Let's go get the monsters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I was thinking about what I had experienced in the snowy mountains, a soldier called out to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that everything is set up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We are now ready to catch the demons and make it through the night.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I put all my previous thoughts aside for the moment and headed back to the cave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Oh?　What the hell, it's coming out of the other side."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once again, we rode on the snow and came to the cave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then the situation changed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A demon had crawled out of a hole in the mountainside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was not large.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was less than half the height of an ice bear or a four-handed ice monkey, and shorter than I was as a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, perhaps adapted to the snow-covered world of Ermelarda, they were white like the other demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A white dog.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is the true identity of the demon Ai sought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it is no ordinary dog.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unlike dogs that would normally walk on all four legs, it stands on two legs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a white shaggy dog that walked on two legs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A subspecies of dog-man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a demon found in the territory of Baito's brother on the western side of Daisetsuzan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The dogman is a demon that normally has black to gray fur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only one white dog-man was said to be mixed in with these gray dog-men.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was first discovered by Ars and Bite.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, the Bite brothers had him search the mountains bordering their territory for the white dog-man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But in the end, they did not find them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I finally understood why.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The White Dog People must have originally been a different species living east of the Daisetsuzan Mountains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know why, but there was only one white one among the black ones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it means that this was the original habitat of the white ones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Taro series.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Taro, the white dog man who is being bred secretly in Vulcania, the Kingdom of the Sky, is said to be a male.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that in order to increase the number of male-only Taro, they are bred to increase their numbers by using a technique that falls under the category of prohibited breeding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But here was the original herd of taro.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There in front of us was a herd of both male and female White Dog People, demons that create silver from iron.
