Fake 102:『Wind Dance』

Pleasantly riding my racing bicycle, I arrived at the destination.

“Aoi, it is the same monster as last time.”

“A myrmecoleon. And, it seems like that little one is a gremlin.”

“A gremlin, huh? I’ve heard of it, but this will be my first time actually fighting it.”

“Well, that monster is originally supposed to be a kind of monster that frequently appears in Europe.”

If I remember correctly, I also heard the same thing about the myrmecoleon.
Well, whether it is Europe or Asia doesn’t matter that much. So, I headed out to exterminate the monsters without worrying about it.

“Let’s defeat the myrmecoleon first while keeping the gremlin in check.”

“Understood.”

It gave us quite a struggle last time, but there are things that have changed a lot since the battle back then.
After seeing Toonagi-san’s battle, I became able to use [Wind Dance] instead of [Wind Cutter].

“Stop moving around! [Lightning].”

I stopped the gremlin in its place by firing a bolt of lightning, before activating another skill.

“[Wind Dance].”

The wind gathered around the myrmecoleon and bit into its body.
The skill, [Wind Dance], was not a release type skill as I thought.
At first, I thought it had the same kind of ability as [Wind Cutter]. However, in contrast to [Wind Cutter] that is released from your hand, [Wind Dance] abruptly occurs from the monster’s surroundings.
If anything, it is a medium to long range skill, which is closer to [Lightning] in usage.
However, with its upper skill-usable-limit of 4, its power surpasses that of [Lightning].
The wind assaulted the myrmecoleon from all sides and cut off its head.
The torso remained thanks to its hard exoskeleton, but –

“This is the end! [Explosion].”

– Aoi immediately burned it down from the inside with explosive flames, exterminating it.

“Rin-kun, you defeated the myrmecoleon that gave us so much trouble last time almost in a single attack. That was amazing.”

“No, what’s amazing is Toonagi-san’s skill, though.”

“Just a little, I am jealous of Toonagi-san.”

“Jealous?”

“I am slightly jealous of the fact that Toonagi-san’s wind type skill could be of use to Rin-kun even though my [Wind Cutter] couldn’t.”

What the heck is Aoi saying?
Even [Wind Cutter] has been very useful for me until now; there is no need to make even a single comparison for such a skill.

“Aoi! Aoi’s always been a hundred times, no, a thousand times more helpful to me. It is true that [Wind Dance] is powerful; however, that’s a different matter! That’s why please don’t think like that.”

“Rin-kun……”

Certainly, my life changed after I became able to use the power of a survivor.
However, I was not satisfied.
It isn’t an exaggeration to say that it is all thanks to Aoi that the current me exists.
I had no idea Aoi was thinking that way.
Perhaps, my current life with Aoi is so comfortable that I’ve taken it for granted. To this day, I’ve been so busy with myself that I probably haven’t done anything yet for Aoi.
I’ve been thinking that I want to return the favor even a little. But, thinking about it carefully, I haven’t been able to return anything yet.
After this battle is over, I will change my mindset and work hard so that Aoi can place more of her trust on me.
