We ascended the sheer cliff at an alarming speed. I had no idea how much pressure was bearing down on us, but thanks to my resistance skills, I seemed to be holding up fine. As for Hazumi-san, well... I think her physical abilities and resistance are just naturally monstrous. Yeah, even now, I can't help but think she's some kind of beast disguised as a human. That's the only explanation that makes sense. It also explains why her stats seem low—it's like she's unconsciously limiting her abilities.
After what felt like an hour, we finally reached the interior of the crater. We'd passed through an area that was practically outer space, and now we were descending again...
Wait a minute. What's that scenery?
