The calculated energy of the disordered phase $U^{+}$ is clearly different from that of the ordered phase $U^{-}$. The obtained latent heat $L = U^{-} - U^{+}$ is 0.027, which quantitatively agrees with the exact solution.2 pages, Latex(JPSJ style files are included), 2 ps figures, submitted to J. Phys. Soc.
