Survivor Saijaku no Ore wa Hazure skill “Faker” de Tenshina Kanojo to S rank wo Mezasu

I stood next to Aoi and fired [Ice Javelin] at the monster approaching her.

“Rin-kun!”

“Sorry to keep you waiting! I somehow managed to defeat them.”

“No, it’s okay. Because I believed you.”

For some reason, it felt like Aoi was putting an excessive amount of trust in me. Nevertheless, I definitely didn’t want to betray this trust.

After that, the two of us activated our skills while keeping a safe distance and defeated all of the remaining monsters.

“I’ve never faced this many monsters before.”

“Facing this number of monsters was the first for me too, but I was able to calmly fight because I was together with Rin-kun. Also, I still have some leeway with my skills’ usage, so don’t you think we’ve done well?”

“Well, you could say that. But, as for me, I used up most of my skills. That imp, you see… It probably used a skill. Most likely, a defensive skill. Due to that, my skills’ damage became extremely ineffective.”

“Regardless of how it looks, it is an imp after all. To think that it could even resist Rin-kun’s [Vortex Fire], it was beyond my expectations.”

“On the contrary, it seemed to have almost no resistance to physical attacks, so in the end, I defeated it by directly attacking with the knives. Perhaps, it might be better if Aoi also could use a knife just in case.”

“To be honest, I find it difficult to fight monsters with a knife.”

“Well, that’s normal. It takes courage even for a boy like me. Then, how about a weapon that can incapacitate enemies like a stun baton? At least, I think it is better to have one like that. Otherwise, it would be dangerous for Aoi if two of such monsters appear.”

“I understand. Then, will you come with me to buy it after New Year’s holidays?”

“Of course, I will. However, until then, make sure to carry the knife I gave you before for self-defense.”

“Yes, I understand.”

That ability of the imp was a threat to us who weren’t physical types. Especially for Aoi, who had no close combat experience, it was closer to a natural enemy.

“Well then, let’s return after picking up the magic stones.”

“Yes”

This time, we got 2 E-rank, 6 F-rank, and 5 G-rank magic stones.

We had defeated 13 monsters in total, and their worth exceeded 400,000 yen.

So, each of us would get over 200,000 yen.

It was worth our efforts to be active on New Year’s morning. This was like a very, very, big New Year’s gift for me.

After picking up all the magic stones, we embarked on the way home with our racing bicycles. While we were returning home, a sound that I’d never heard before resounded from the terminal.

“Pirop Pirop Pirop Pirop Pirop” (T/N: I also do not know what kind of sound this is.)

I stopped my bicycle and checked the terminal that wouldn’t stop ringing.

“Aoi, what is this sound? I’ve never heard this sound before.”

“This is the rescue call from the nearby survivor.”

“Does this mean the other party has failed to subjugate the monster?”

“To be precise, this means that they are still fighting and are currently being overwhelmed by the monsters.”

“Considering this rescue call reached us, it must be near.”

“Yes, I think it is about 5 minutes by bicycle.”

“Hm~mm. I wonder if I have to take it?”

“I don’t think it is mandatory. But, if you decline, the request will be sent to another survivor who is further away.”

This is my first time getting a rescue call. And I also think that they must be in a really urgent situation. However, the problem lies with my remaining skill-usable times. I’ve used up most of my skills in the earlier battle, and my remaining skills are just two shots of [Ice Javelin] and another two shots of [Wind Cutter].
