　I'm glad it's Victor who is leading the way. His athleticism is off the charts.

　At my height, I need to kick harder to get up there. I'm more determined.

　The slightest delay could be fatal. I kicked the last rock as hard as I could, grabbed a rock about a meter above my head, and caught my foot between the rocks.

　At that moment, my foot slips. Quickly, I manage to hold on with all the strength I can muster in my fingertips. Your heart starts beating fast.

　I realize that I have come a long way up. The two horses and Rai look so small.

　I have been doing nothing but acting like an adventurer since I came to Laval. I am beginning to wonder if I was really a daughter in Durkis.

　With these thoughts I follow Victor. Leon is moving with a light touch to overcome the previous obstacle.

"Is that an excuse?"

　Victor responds to my mutterings.

"No, I'm not. Just ......."

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

　I'm at a loss for words.

　It is true that there is a difference between men and women in terms of strength and physique, but to say it now sounds like an excuse. Maybe I was subconsciously feeling frustrated that Leon was able to move more easily than me.

"If you die here, it's because you're not good enough.

　Victor had hit the nail on the head, and I had nothing to say to him. It is the angriest thing to be told what you know.

　I realize once again that I am still immature and need to grow up more.

　...... I will definitely look back!

"There is such a lack of consideration for women that it's almost a drawback. Were you never taught how to treat ladies?"

　Leon's cold voice .

　...... Leon, Victor doesn't think of me as a woman. I mean, I can't imagine Victor being nice and sweet to anyone.

"Then how can you treat him like a lady?"

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

　Yes," Leon answered immediately.

"That's just a lie!"
