Surviving in a World Teeming with Monsters with the Useless Skill 【Everyday Items Master】! I Was Just Hunting Wild Animals with a Crowbar, So Why Is Everyone Screaming It's an S-Rank Monster? - 101

Chapter 101: The Twins, the Gang, and the Master Skills

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Surprisingly, only the red-streaked twin jumped down from the building to attack.

“Get ready, Everyday Items Master!”

Wielding two large swords in both hands, she came straight at me. Luna was in the car, but the red-streaked twin didn’t bother with such details. Defeat the strongest enemy first. If that was done, the rest would follow. That was her mindset.

In other words—

“You’re an idiot, Red Streak.”

“I’m not an idiot! And I’m not Reeeed Streeeeeak!”

“No, you totally are Red Streak.”

I blocked the two swinging swords with my vinyl umbrella.

【Umbrella Open】

【Twin Drop】

A loud metallic clang echoed as I deflected the incoming twin blades. Even with my upgraded skill, the impact still made my arms tingle.

“Owwww! Why the heck is this umbrella so hard?!”

“Who knows, Red Streak!”

【Hook Set】

I used the opening from her flinch to swing my crowbar, but Red Streak twisted her body and dodged the 『Hook Set』 move. Then she closed the distance between us.

“I told you, I’m not Red Streak! I have a lovely name—Sango!”

【Piercing Thrust】

A sharp lunge. I hooked it with the crowbar and forcibly deflected it. I spoke.

“Fine, Sango. I’ll remember your name. So let’s end this here.”

I swung my knife toward Sango’s throat.

【Deadly Kitchen Knife】

But it didn’t succeed.

【Sniper Shot】

“—!”

I pulled back instinctively. A bullet whizzed past the spot I had just been in.

“Tch. I missed…!”

“Nice assist, Shizuku!”

It seemed my attack had been interrupted by a shot from above. I looked up and saw the blue-streaked twin aiming a sniper rifle from the rooftop. The car had passed the building and was pulling away. But with a sniper rifle, she could keep interfering from there.

“Man, I figured the twins would be decently strong, but still…”

“Don’t forget about me, Everyday Items Master!”

The Wolf King’s minigun roared back to life as he pursued us again. Sango and the Wolf King. If both of them struck me at the same time, even I’d be in trouble. But that was only if I got hit.

“Okay then, Sango, I’m counting on you to deal with that.”

“Wha—kyah!?”

【Hook Set】

I used a feinting 『Hook Set』 move to yank on Sango’s clothes with the crowbar and drop her into a shield position against the minigun. At that point, Sango no longer had a choice.

“Uggghhh! You’ve gotta be kidding meeeeee!”

【Blade Dance】

With incredible speed, Sango swung both swords, deflecting every bullet from the minigun.

“Whew, not bad.”

“Youuuuuu! Everyday Items Master! I’ll never forgive youuuu!”

“Really? That’s scary. I better run then.”

“Wha—!? Ah!”

I hopped over and slipped behind Rick. He welcomed me with a roar of laughter.

“Brother! You really are the best!”

“Told you. Now get me to the next target.”

“Leave it to me!”

Rick slowed down. The minigun fire chased us, but against Rick’s driving skills, it meant nothing. In no time, the bike pulled alongside the enemy vehicle. I used my crowbar to clamber up and face the Wolf King.

I dodged another sniper shot from Blue Streak. No room to relax.

“Yo~! What’s the big idea coming back to life, you Macho Wolf! This time, I’ll turn you into ashes for real!”

“Damn it! Damndamndamndamn! You think you can really—”

【Hook Set】【Deadly Kitchen Knife】

I stunned the charging Wolf King with a 『Hook Set』 and slashed his throat with my knife.

“Gah…”

He died instantly. I hoisted the corpse with my crowbar and chucked it into the enemy vehicle.

“Eek, eeeek!”

“Oh? The driver is the Wolf King’s girlfriend. What was your name again…”

“It’s Silver Wolf! How many times do I have to tell you!?”

“Right, right, that’s it. So, uh… Here ya go.”

I smiled sweetly and tossed an alarm clock I’d prepped into the car.

“Huh? A clock? What for—”

“Rick! Get us some distance!”

I jumped onto Rick’s bike and gave the signal. “Got it!” he said, speeding away from the enemy vehicle. Then I activated my skill.

【Explosive Alarm Clock】

The alarm exploded, igniting the car, which erupted into a massive fireball and blew apart.

“Yes! Reviving him now is gonna be a pain in the ass! Total charcoal!”

The Wolf King’s shattered vehicle, billowing smoke, shrank into the distance. It was scattered in pieces—reviving from that wouldn’t be easy.

“Brother… You really went all out…”

“You’re the one who hyped me up. Don’t act all scared now.”

“Ow ow ow! My bad, I’m sorry!”

As I ground my fist into Rick’s cheek in mock anger, someone shouted at me.

“Everyday Items Master! Don’t you run away, you coward! Get back here and fight me!”

Sango was hopping mad on top of the safe. She was kinda cute now. I decided to seize the narrative with an unrelated comment.

“Sangooo! You made sure I remembered your name, but you didn’t even remember mine—what’s with that!?”

“Ugh! W-What was it again…?”

“Call me Taku~ ♡”

When I said that in a cutesy tone, Sango made a very pained expression, like she was physically hurt by that.

“Ugh! I—I don’t wanna call you by your first name, but I can’t remember your last name… Ugh, uggghhh… Ta… Ta…”

“Ta? Ta…!?”

“…Taku-san.”

“Alright! Now we’re even! Bring it on, Sango! —But first!”

I tilted my head to dodge a sniper shot aimed at it, and leapt off Rick’s bike. I didn’t head for the safe—but for the ground.

“Wha—Brother!?”

“Ehh!? Taku-san!?”

Everyone stared at me in shock. But if I had no plan, jumping at this speed would be fatal. Which meant—I had a plan.

【Infinite Tape Measure】【Umbrella Surfing】

I wrapped my measuring tape around the safe and opened the umbrella, starting to surf along the ground. It was similar like waterskiing—except totally on land.

“Eeeeeeh!? What the heck is that!?”

“Didn’t I adjust the distance just so you could follow me!? Come on! Let’s fight!”

“Even the safe being dragged by a car was shaky enough, and you’re making it even worse!?”

“Oh? You can’t handle it? Bummer. Even after I made all these concessions.”

I teased her lightly and just like that, Sango took the bait.

“I can handle it! I will do it!”

She leapt and landed on my umbrella with a boing. The moment she landed, she clearly wobbled. Even worse footing than the safe.

“Ugh, hyaaaaahhh!”

Still, she braced herself and managed to regain her balance. At that moment, I spotted a massive shadow approaching from behind.

“Ah, finally here.”

“Eh?”

Sango looked back with me. It was the revived Big Ape Junior.

“Whoa! He showed up now!? Hey Brother, what do we do!?”

“Whuh—ugh, uuuhhh…”

Rick shouted in alarm. Sango’s gaze darted between me and the approaching Big Ape Junior

So I said.

“Rick, let’s have our promising rookie, Sango-chan, take care of this one.”

“Eh? Me—?”

“Good luck, Sango. I’m counting on you.”

I poked Sango in the side.

“Kyahn!~♡”

Her balance collapsed. The unstable umbrella worsened it and Sango fell off.

“Wha—kyah—ahh!”

She skillfully used her twin swords to surf along the ground after falling, being pulled toward Big Ape Junior

“Takuuuuu! I’ll—I’ll remember this!!”

“I’m touched we’re on a first-name basis even though we’ve only known each other for such a short time!”

“Don’t mess with meeeeeee!”

Her voice faded as she clashed with Big Ape Junior, and the two began to fight.

【Powerful Retraction】

Once I confirmed that, I used my measuring tape to perform a wire action and swung back onto the safe.

【Sniper Shot】

I deflected Blue Streak’s sniper shot with the umbrella. After observing for a bit, I figured that was her last-ditch effort.

“Yeah, figures. Even for Sango, Big Ape Junior alone is too much.”

She probably went to back her up. I couldn’t be killed with a sniper shot, and their priority had shifted. At that moment, Rick pulled up alongside the safe again.

“Brother! That was awesome.”

“You helped too, Rick. Even with my umbrella, I couldn’t knock Big Ape Junior out cold.”

“Hahaha! You say that like you didn’t just control this whole battlefield yourself.”

I lay down along the edge of the safe. Rick raised his fist high, and we bumped knuckles. And so, my role in the grand mission to take down the three way raider elimination had been successfully completed.
