“Rin-kun, aren’t you a little too amazing? I mean, you got a perfect victory over two E-rank trolls alone, didn’t you? Even at E-rank, I still struggle with two trolls. Nevertheless, Rin-kun……”

“No, it isn’t me who is amazing but rather Kamiki-san’s skill. I never thought that I would be able to kill the troll in a single attack.”

“Of course, you could say that. Even then, all it took was a single blow to the troll with [Vortex Fire], you know. Perhaps, if it is the current Rin-kun, I think you can somehow manage even D-rank monsters.”

“No, that is just impossible. I mean, I am still an F-rank.”

Well, even I was surprised at the power of the skill. Just in case, I checked my Status since I had defeated two E-rank monsters and found out that I had leveled up.

Survivor – Lv8

Skill –『Faker』《Explosion 2》《Vortex Fire 1》《Lightning 1》《Ice Javelin 4》《Wind Cutter 3》

Leveling up to 8 didn’t increase the number of imitable skills. However, the skill-usable times of all my imitated skills had increased by one each.

The skill-usable times of [Vortex Fire] and [Lightning], which were used up in the earlier battle, had become one, so there was no mistake that my skill-usable times had increased.

“Aoi, it seems that I went up to level 8 a while ago.”

“Did your skills increase?”

“No, this time, the skill-usable times of all my imitated skills have increased by one.”

“Even the ones for [Vortex Fire] and [Lightning]?”

""

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Rin-kun, this is no joke. The current Rin-kun has abilities close to D-rank. You are definitely stronger than me now.”

“No, no, Aoi is overestimating me way too much. It’s true that I have more skills available, but my Status is ultimately still at level 8. There is no way I can match level 11 Aoi.”

Nevertheless, we got four magic stones today, which should be over 250,000 yen. Even if it was divided between two people, each person would still get more than 100,000 yen.

Even after forming a party with Aoi, my income was still steadily increasing. So, I started to wonder if I should buy more equipment if I earned just a little more.

After that, we received two more monster subjugation requests before the end of the year; both of them were successfully completed. During this period of time, Aoi also leveled up to become Lv12.

The increase in the maximum skill-usable times and the strength of Aoi’s skills was clearly visible. Some status numbers, such as her physical abilities, which couldn’t be seen, had also increased.

During the winter holidays, our activity time became longer. Perhaps the increase in the number of requests was because the usually active survivors took a break on their New Year holidays.

Studying all day long was becoming taxing for me, so I was glad for the requests. Nevertheless, I ended up studying hard after returning home today.

After studying, Aoi and I went to buy gloves together, as we previously had agreed. I chose a pair of gloves with a design similar to that of Aoi’s hand-knitted muffler. (T/N: Lol, he still hasn’t bought gloves.)

Then, I sent some money to my mother for this month. I only sent 100,000 yen since it would be a problem if I sent too much. Even then, I don’t think it wouldn’t be enough because it was dramatically more than before.
