This is the last issue I've got right now. I'll go to the next one next week.

As the last peak approaches, I can hear calls from below.

Page 1:
Narration: The gentle vast slope of snow.
On endlessly continuing around 30 degree slope, sometimes, like creases, it becomes a 45 to 60 degree incline.
Side: The great ice field, never before trodden upon in all of human history, is it "holy" or "death"? The solo climber only climbs on unconcerned.

Page 2:
Katou: The incline cannot be seen with the eyes.
At a glance, it is a flat bed of snow.
If you look closely, like a wrinkle, the ridge contains a few horizontal stripes.
A hidden crevice.

Page 3:
Katou: While being cautious of hidden crevices
I walk directly above the fall line as to not cause avalanches.

Page 4-5:
Katou: An 8000m peak without any incline is actually hard to climb.
For a portion where you cannot earn any elevation it only eats up time and expends stamina.
Title: 158th Climb Inhuman
Insert Text: For a mountain he decided to climb, he climbs with he has. He is now doing Sisyphus' work, entranced on a fruitless effort; a pure climber.

Fukumoto: Hey, Mori.
Why're you doing something so hard?

Fukumoto: The weather's finally nice.
Why don't we go to Takatori and climb it or something?

Page 8:
Adachi: How about you come back to work soon?
The requests for you to go investigate things are piling up.
If you use up your whole paid vacation like this,
after you've gotten back to the country, you won't even be able to go to your favorite mountains.

Takemura: Getting to the top's absolutely impossible.
If you don't head down soon, you'll end up like me.

Katou: The final attack starts at 1AM...
I'll definitely make it to the summit...
