 The carrying Makina's group is making steady progress through the wilderness, and the unnamed peak they are aiming for is getting closer.

"Why is it still ?"

  asked the deputy of the Supreme Administrator, Ilmina Ratkin.

"It is said that the four duchies originally set their borders on the peak, and as a result of a dispute over which country should name it, they abandoned the naming of the mountain.

 As we talk, the unnamed peak at the center of the conversation grows larger.

"This area has always been a wilderness, hasn't it?

 A wasteland dotted with bushes and grasses. The ground is not rock but dry soil, so <> was whizzing along in a cloud of dust.

 On Earth, Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania on the African continent, which is located near the equator at an altitude of 5895 meters, has snow.

 However, it does not seem to snow at 3026 meters.



 However, it is ironic that there is more vegetation on the mountainside than in the surrounding area, since the unnamed peak, which is an independent peak, is prone to cloud cover and thus rainfall.

"You had a theory that the higher elevations in the tropics are a better environment because the climate fluctuates less throughout the year."

 Ilmina Ratkin said.

I see, because the equatorial regions have high temperatures throughout the year. If you raise the altitude in such regions, the temperature will drop, and there will be places where the temperature is appropriate.

 Junki Kitsu Shu, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic of the Principality of Mimaka, seemed to understand Illumina's words and expressed his opinion.



 The abundance of vegetation also means that it is difficult to run.

 Beyond that point, the slope was still gentle, but there was a coniferous forest with trees about five meters high. To go any further, we would have to cut down the trees. That would take too much time.

 The shoes were almost the same, laced leather shoes up to the ankle, with rivets on the soles, known as Nagel on Earth. They did not have rubber soles.

 They were classified in the same way as long-sleeved trousers......, but the Mimaka Principality was brown, the Norja Principality was moss green, and the Dahlat Principality was khaki.

 And < and Machina are olive drab.

 And olive drab is yellowish black.

 Since we were in the territory of the Duchy of Mimaka, we did not march stealthily, but went straight for the summit of the unnamed peak with an open mind.

 This is due to the fact that the old man has been checking with his telescope and telling Makina about it.

 The route we are climbing now is in a hollow, but it is on a ridge, so we do not have to worry about mudslides caused by rain.

 We have also brought a barrier projector to ensure our safety while camping.

"But I don't see any insects or small animals..."

 Jumor Pitch, Deputy Commander of the 2nd Knights of the Principality of Dalat, muttered.

 So, the tent was set up by the tireless golem. Thanks to him, it took only 10 minutes to set up.

 Makina says.

 Since we had climbed up to 2,500 meters at a stretch, there was a risk of altitude sickness.

 Incidentally, the only woman in red, Yilmina Ratkin, is in a private tent.
