Vol 7 Chapter 51 (2/2)
The upper part of the mountain was covered in clouds and could not be seen In front of their eyes was not a slope but rather a wall The high at to challenge this sort of place all by himself
“Looking at it again, it seeeous Are you really fine?”
Minth said while looking at the sky
“Who knows Well, even if I fail it will not be a big deal Just so at the mountain”
Garlze said while s
His usual occupation was a banker at Guinbex Using his spare tie wintry mountains
Garlze was a nor the severe inable for ordinary people
Even when he climbs, he isn’t honored by anycaarded as a queer person with strange tastes by his surroundings
“I arateful to you, Overseer of Paradise My dreae this wall This is probably the hardest one in the world”
Garlze hit the first ice axe into the bedrock He carefully checked the feel of the rock
“It’s because it’s our job Don’t mind it”
Minth said The area around theroup that turned froands For cli but a pipedream
Minth elie aanization fro the life of the citizens around, but the real reason was in order to let Garlze climb this mountain
However, thought Minth Why does Garlze want to challenge mountains?
In order to get up to the summit, you only need to ride an airplane and juic Deliberation to enhance one’s body and become easily able to climb up That ould be much safer
He will not get anyAnd yet, he earnestly climbed
Minth activated his ability and looked at Garlze’s soul He could see soht around him
What he could see was the nature of a terribly lonely, aard soul His e were anxiety and a spotted pattern of courage he tried to force down his anxiety with
Yet inside flickered so much like diamond It was the beautiful color of happiness that Minth had never seen in anyone before
“Is cli that enjoyable?”
“I wonder When I cli is difficult”
Garlze put his hands to the rock
“So is it not enjoyable?”
“It’s not Other people walk their dogs, water their flower gardens, or love their wives, so why a in the boundary of life and death? I always think about that”
“Then why do you climb?”
“Who knows But when I stand on the su of all the difficulties of cli and it somehow become enjoyable to me”
Garlze headed to the su at his back, Minth could clearly see the happiness he was ai for
His next stop was a wooden house located in the countryside of the Isle cigarette would end up arette he held in his mouth with his bare hands
A cow fro rare Minth knocked on the door
“Huh? Why if it isn’t the Overseer of Paradise What business do you have?”
Colasses and dusty white coat, one could easily iine what kind of a person he was He was a youth called Kwane He was the first True Man found out by Minth
“I ca?”
Minth entered There was a mountain of iron scraps inside the wooden house The old dog lying on its summit ane’s only family member
“You’ve coood time Look at this I completed unit no1”
Kwane showed him an object far from the mountain of scraps
“I call it “Pina-chan’s thighs” Are you surprised?!”
The object he pointed to was a small machine that looked like a failed toy It was called a rocket It see out adjusted petroleum fuel from its rear, that reaction could be used to hter of the farmer who lived next door
“How small”
Minthany of it, Kwane excitedly carried the rocket His dream seeo into outer space
He used to be praised as an elite genius in the Science Agency However, no one could understand his far too wild drea into space and so he had lost his job
Frankly, even Minth was dubious about whether or not one could go into space Wouldn’t going outside the world that was made by the Creator was beyond what people could do?
However, Kwane continued his research with no doubts or hesitation Although he was living froht that he had fallen down in any corner of his mind
Minth found a certain shape of happiness lying within
“Let’s go!”
Kwane lighted the fuse A small sound, too miserable to be called an explosive roar, echoed as the rocket rose into the air It flew for about fifty meters and then fell doith a flop This would be about the distance Haht
“Yes, a! It’s just perfect!”
Minth couldn’t understand it, but it seemed to be a success It was one step towards space Was he a genius or a fool? Perhaps there was no great difference between the two
At thatHe held a pitchfork in one hand
“Aah Kwane! How hten the cows they won’t give any milk!”
Minth knew him He was the farmer who lived next door Kwane hurriedly escaped into his house
“Wait you idiot! How o to work! Hey now, don’t run away!”
The far the door to Kwane’s house He locked it firmly from the inside This kind of scene occurred every time Minth came there
“Oh boy… Kwane’s acting stupid again, huh”
A girl kicked the rocket lying on the ground She was the farirl that the rocket had been named after She spoke to Minth
“You’re Kwane’s friend, right? I heard it from him”
“Yes, but what of it?”
“Nothing much”
Saying this, Minth and the far farmer
“Say, is that ‘space’ he’s aiht?”
She suddenly spoke to him
“Apparently I don’t know much science”
“Can one really go into space?”
Minth shrugged
“I dunno What do you think?”
“I have no idea, but well, if it’s possible, it would be a”
The girl flapped her hand She seemed to be flustered
“Oh no, saying that acknowledges Kwane… I’m different from him, because I’m an honest woman”
Angry for soed out Kwane and beat his head
Minth also thought about evacuating the entire farm for Kwane’s research Or perhaps he could have used his connection from his Armed Librarian days so that he could reinstate hiave up on both of them He knew that this farm and all of the noise were also a part of Kwane’s happiness It seemed that he came to know and love these stubborn and simple people
Minth left the beaten Kwane alone He hurriedly left the place before he would face the fare as well
