After she had learnt how to traverse through the lava unharmed, my sister made quick work of the trek while carrying me on her back.
Though the stellar energy absorbed by the mountain increased with her being in close contact with the lava, with me providing her surplus energy, it was just a trifling problem.
Still, we safely reached the peak of the volcanic mountain before the time limit. It took a total of only 18 hours to climb up to the peak from the base of the mountain.
Though the volcano was dormant, it still spewed out molten magma occasionally. Thus, there was not a safe place for me to stand on the peak as I was not like my sister. I couldn't walk on lava without getting burnt.
So, Alice had to continue to carry me. She was pretty happy about the situation as she rubbed her cheek on my arm.
"Ehehe, it feels good to see you act docile and cute. Now, you have to depend on your big sister and let her pamper you."
