Chapter 1754: 1754 - - 47-35 Snow Mountain Competition

By the time the second group got the marker at the first checkpoint, the lead group had already gotten the yellow marker at the second checkpoint.

"It's amazing how much difference you can make just by running on a mountain road!"

Shu was impressed.

"That's right. "Yes," said Shu, "It's not a well-developed road, so there are various adverse conditions. How you deal with them will make a big difference.

Jin-sama, what exactly?

"First of all, weight. Just because it's uphill, it's difficult to balance it with muscular strength.

"Yes, I understand that."

Rubina nodded.

"And the soles of your feet. They have to adapt to the ever-changing conditions of dirt, gravel, and rocky terrain."

Rubberized soles like those on the soles of shoes is one way to go, Jin explained.

"Or you could make it so you can stick spikes out. You know?"

"Ah!"

Jin points to the magic screen, which shows a group of people who are leading the way into the icy and snowy area near the summit of the mountain.

Of the seven, the number 31 slipped.

"Look out!"

The ice is a thin layer of ice on top of the rocks, or as they call it in mountaineering parlance, . It is very slippery, so be careful.

［Ah, number 31, I've slipped!　I can't regain my position!　I'm slipping!]

The spectators were in a state of shock.

The number 31 slipped and fell down several meters. And then he fell into a ravine.

［Oh, look out!]

But...

［But then... the number 49 behind him barely stopped 31 from falling to the bottom of the ravine!　Brilliant!]

The spectators applauded this fair play.

However, the icy and snowy area caused the lead group to split into two. Numbers 1, 3, 51, and 40 were making good progress, while 31, 31, 49, and 13 gradually began to lag behind.

"Hmmm...such a pitfall..."

Jin was impressed by the oddity of the course selection.

"So, you have to be careful about the specialized type," he said.

Shu also seemed to have some thoughts on the matter.

"Hey, what if it's Jin-sama's golem?

Rubina asked me this question, and I thought about it seriously for a moment.

"Well, ...... I basically take a general-purpose or all-purpose type and add additional functions to it, so I don't think it would be that hard to adapt."

The basic structure of Land, Marine, Sky, and Golem Maids is the same.

The only difference among the Horai Islanders is the mermaids.

"Slip is a minus in most cases. In my case, I'm either putting up a leather of a hexenbiest, or I'm trying to get a spike out of it ......."

Friction between the soles is important for quick movement, unless you are faster on ice.

Well, if you're not competing, you can just fly with <>. .......

"Then you can change the options and equipment. ......Ah, look."

Jin pointed to the second group, number 17.

Just before the icy and snowy area, he attached a snowshoe-like device on his shin to his leg.

The effect was quite impressive, and the number 17 jumped out of the second group and ran up the mountain road at a pace close to the lead group.

"I see, so that's one way to do it. ......"

Rubina is impressed.

"Isn't it the same for humans?　If it rains, we put up umbrellas and wear boots. When it's cold, they put on jackets, and when they fight, they carry weapons.

"So it's the same with golems. I feel as if the scales have fallen from my eyes.

Shu says happily. It seems that he has gained a lot from this.

"I want to broadcast this to Onogoro Island as well. ......"

Jin blurts out,

"Father, I'm sure the old man is recording this, so why don't you show it to him later?"

In other words, it would be a recorded broadcast.

"Yes, that would be fine."

Jin thought, "Well, that would be good for the audience.

(I will discuss it with the old man later.)

［We reached the summit at number 1,TOP!　I now have a green marker in my hand!]

There was a snowstorm at the summit, and visibility was less than 5 meters.

Still, the magic eye was doing its job.

［No, number 17 is coming up!]

Number 17, who was equipped with a Kanjiki-style attachment, was fast and had moved up to 5th place.

Number 1 continued to run down the route.

Poles were set up along the route and the red magic lamps were lit so that even in the blizzard, the route was somehow visible.

The visibility improved as we descended.

A hundred meters down from the summit, the fog cleared and the blizzard stopped.

The golems running down the mountain were now clearly visible.

And then one of them slips again.

［Aah!　Another slip!　Number 3, he slipped!]

The speed of the slip is so fast because it is running downhill, and it slides down to the bottom of the valley in no time at all.

The other Golem reaches out to help him, but it is already too late.

［It's down to the bottom of the valley!　Let's hope the damage is minimal!]

As expected, there is no magic eye at the bottom of the valley.

What happened to the number 3 is unknown at this point.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Perhaps the golem in charge is retrieving it.

There is a golem to check for fraud even at off-the-beaten-path locations. Jin thought that even if it was damaged, such a golem would probably retrieve it.

(I mean, such an arrangement is necessary, isn't it?)

Jin told himself that it would be helpful for the management of the competition, and stared at the screen.

"You are fast on the downhill. ...... Do you know what else is important in this kind of situation?

Jin asked Rubina and Shu.

"Huh?　Eh, uh, ......."

"Is ...... the reaction time?"

Rubina was at a loss for words at the sudden question, but Shu managed to speak his mind.

"Oh, that's a good point. It is true that a fast reaction time makes it easier to deal with various situations. Can you think of at least one more?"

"......"

I waited for a while, but no answer came,

"It's the flexibility of the body. You can call it freedom. In the extreme, a lump of iron in the shape of a human being can't get back on its feet if it loses its balance, can it?"

Jin replies.

"I see!　If the body is soft, the recovery movement is easier or more effective. ......"

Again, Shu answered, "That's right.

"That's what I mean. The basic control is over the human body, but the greater degree of freedom is advantageous in many ways."

"I'm learning."

"Woo......"

Shu nodded happily at the praise, while Rubina bit her nails in frustration.

"The lead group is approaching the fourth checkpoint!"

At the voice of Rhodes, Jin and the others looked at the magic screen.

On the screen, they saw the number 1 with a blue marker in his hand.
