Survivor Saijaku no Ore wa Hazure skill “Faker” de Tenshina Kanojo to S rank wo Mezasu - CH 69
Although it has high endurance befitting a D-rank, we can still win if we focus fire on it.
The four of us activated our skills simultaneously and finished off the monster.
“Guaaaarrrrrrrr~!”
The moment Aoi’s [Explosion] landed on the giant ogre, its death throes resounded through the surroundings, and we succeeded in driving it to extinction.
The next one is the rock turtle.
“It’s amazing, Yamaoki-kun. Are you a double, no, triple skill holder? Though I’ve heard rumors that you are an incompetent person who leeches off Wakaba-san… I am sorry. Sure enough, you can’t blindly trust the rumors.”
Since Aidani-san knows about me, perhaps, is he also a student from my school?
“Umm, is Aidani-san also……”
“Ahh, I am a second-year student from the same school. Higashima as well.”
“Is that so?”
“At first, when you introduced yourself, I recalled the rumors about you, so I didn’t have a good impression. I am sorry.”
“No, it’s okay. Since it has some truth to it.”
“Some truth?”
“Aidani-senpai, Rin-kun is amazing no matter what others say. By no means is he an incompetent person.”
“Ahh, we have clearly understood that since a while ago. Right, Rei?”
“Yup, defeating a giant ogre would have been impossible if it was by ourselves. Thanks for saving us.”
“Saying we saved you is… I mean, this is a raid battle after all.”
“Still……”
“Yes.”
I was about to head toward the rock turtle since the battle wasn’t over yet. It was then –
“You’re kidding…………”
Three monsters appeared within our line of sight in the distance quite behind the rock turtle.
“Giant ogres………… Moreover, three of them.”
“That’s……impossible.”
Why did three new giant ogres appear here?
Have they been there since the beginning?
Or did they come here because of the previous guy’s scream?
“Nozaki-san, incoming new enemies! They are three giant ogres. Can’t somebody there come and help us?”
“Are you kidding me? We are barely holding on with three people here. It is impossible with two people.”
Giant ogres were drawing nearer even while we were talking.
There isn’t much time left before we engage in battle.
What do I do?
What should I do?
Running away is also an option. But if I actually do that, there is also a likelihood that our fighting force will crumble and be swallowed up in one go.
It’d be good if I can let Aoi escape, but it is impossible for me to stop three monsters by myself, no matter how I think about it.
Moreover, Aoi has her bicycle. It is seemingly impossible to shake off the giant ogres at the speed of a bicycle. Which means there is no choice but to fight and win.
“Aoi, I will take on one of them. Can I leave another one to you and Aidani-san’s party?”
“But, even then, there is still one more……”
“Let whoever finishes their battle first will take on it. Until then, I will do something about it.”
“Rin-kun, that’d be two D-ranks, you know? What do you mean you will do something about it!?”
“Didn’t Aoi say so before? That if it is me, I might be able to somehow defeat a D-rank monster alone. It will be alright. Just leave it to me.”
“……I understand. Just don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”
“There you have it. So, Aidani-san, please team up with Aoi and defeat one giant ogre as soon as possible. Until then, I will somehow manage by myself.”
“Are you serious? There are three D-ranks, you know…… No, that’s not what I should say. Yamaoki-kun, we are counting on you.”
“Yes, well then, I will be going.”
“”
Getting cold feet now is unacceptable. Although giant ogres are tough, my damage can still get through their defense. That being the case, I have to swiftly weaken one first and defeat another in the meantime.
