Chapter 105: The Impossible to Imitate Routine

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The plane I boarded was, as expected, headed from Sendai Airport to New Chitose Airport.

“I definitely boarded the plane without paying for the ticket, but please forgive me…”

I jumped out of the plane while flying near Hakodate.

〈Don’t sweat the small stuff, Nishida.〉

〈No one would ever expect an unpaid boarding like that.〉

〈It’s so unexpected, they might just laugh and forgive him.〉

〈Kids, don’t try this at home.〉

〈The one and only impossible to imitate routine.〉

“Goryōkaku… Yeah, that’s it. It’s easy to spot—very helpful.”

From the sky, the beautifully star-shaped Goryōkaku stood out as the perfect landmark. I headed there at full speed.

〈Nishida, a demon tribe member has appeared!〉

〈And even Seia Jinguji has been defeated!〉

〈Can Nishida really win if he goes there?〉

〈Nishida’s the only hope this country has left.〉

〈Even for Nishida, this might be too much.〉

While falling from the sky, I checked the comment section. It looked like things were pretty bad.

“…A demon tribe member, huh? I’ve only heard rumors, so I won’t know until I actually face one…”

Seia Jinguji was currently the most accomplished explorer in this country. There had been a TV special about her in the past—I’d seen it too.

The ground gradually came into view. While hurrying, I reduced my speed and aimed to land in the water moat. It looked like it could soften the impact, even if only a little.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!

As I landed in the moat, a tremendous pillar of water shot up. I immediately jumped out and touched down in Goryōkaku Park.

“Hmm? Undead?”

The place had turned into a den of undead. And not just any undead—they were deep-level monsters turned undead.

“Could this be the demon tribe’s doing? Damn it, there were a bunch of monsters I could’ve used as ingredients, and now they’re ruined…”

Once they became undead, their flesh obviously began to rot, making them unfit for cooking.

〈That’s your concern!?〉

〈Who thinks about ingredients at a time like this lolololol〉

〈Classic Nishida, never loses focus on his sight.〉

〈A true Kitchen Samurai〉

“““OAAAHHHHHHH!!”””

The undead lunged at me all at once, and I sliced through them with my kitchen knife. Though they split cleanly in half and rolled across the ground, they kept moving—being undead and all. Of course, I didn’t have the luxury to be dealing with them here.

“Heroic Spirit Summon.”

I summoned Masako Hojo, Abe no Seimei, and Himiko together.

“Sorry, but could you take care of these guys for me?”

“We understand.”

“…Acknowledged.”

“Leave it to us, it shall be done!”

I entrusted the undead to them and headed toward the demon tribe member—the source of all this.

“…Oh? You don’t seem to be an ordinary person.”

“Same goes for you.”

〈Gulp〉

〈Could it be that even the demon tribe is cautious of Nishida?〉

〈As expected of Nishida.〉

〈He’s the only one who can take this thing down〉

“Ma-Masterrrrrrrr! You came for meeeeeeeee!”

“Hm…? Who are you?”

“Master!?”

A young man suddenly barged in and, for some reason, called me “Master.”

〈Ryuuga got forgotten lol〉

〈Didn’t know this guy was still alive〉

〈Poor guy〉

〈Okay yeah, that’s actually kinda sad lolololol〉

“I’m Ryuuga Takahashi! From Dragon Channel! We took the promotion exam together! Well, that doesn’t matter now! That demon tribe member is insanely strong, but I know you can do it!”

…Now I remembered. He was that annoying dungeon streamer who kept bothering me.

“Well, I’ve never encountered a demon tribe member before, so I don’t know what to expect… Guess I’ll try fighting it for now.”

I swung my kitchen knife while keeping my distance. An invisible slash attacked the demon tribe member, but—

“Fufufu, did you just do something?”

〈Nishida’s absurd slash got blocked!?〉

〈No, not even blocked—looks like it hit but didn’t affect it at all〉

〈That same slash that normally deals huge damage even to deep-level bosses…〉

“…Didn’t work at all, huh. Looks like I’ll need to cut it directly.”

〈I mean, that’s how it usually works with knife and all…〉

〈Except the weird part is how he normally cuts without directly hitting his target.〉

〈Now that you mention it… lol〉

I closed the distance to the demon tribe member in a single leap. Then, I unleashed my kitchen knife slash attack.

ZUPAH!

〈He cut it!?〉

〈Amazing!〉

〈But the demon tribe member looks completely fine!?〉

“Oh ho! To think you could cut through my skin—impressive.”

“Hmm, so that’s your level, huh.”

“Fufufu… Now it’s my turn, yes? Do entertain me.”

The demon tribe member swung its arm sideways toward my face like brushing away an insect. It looked like a light motion, but I ducked instinctively—and the tree trunk behind me was dented in with a thud.

〈Its attacks are long-range too!?〉

〈That’s so unfair!〉

〈If the drone gets caught in this, it’s over for us.〉

While dodging the demon tribe member’s unrelenting attacks, I looked for openings to strike back. But as expected, the damage was almost nonexistent. On the other hand, a single punch from the demon tribe had ridiculous power, so I had no choice but to stay on the defensive.

Luckily, its movements were those of an amateur—just swinging its arms wildly. Its status was likely so high that it never needed to develop any proper fighting technique.

“You’re quite the nimble one. Then how will you deal with this?”

“…!”

Several black orbs of light appeared around the demon tribe member. They all shot toward me at once. I quickly gained distance and avoided them, but—

〈They U-turned!?〉

〈Nishida, behind you!〉

〈Dodgeeeeeeee!!〉

“Tch!”

Apparently, they had homing capabilities. One orb struck me directly from behind, and the others mercilessly piled on me.

DODODODODODODODODODODODODODOOOOOOONNNNN!!

〈Nishidaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?〉

〈He’s done for.〉

〈So even Nishida couldn’t do it…〉
