Anime: Fight Sukuna at the beginning?.

Chapter 117: Night Tour in Asakusa Who is trying hard and who is committing the crime?

Looking at Mitsuri Kanroji who was sitting on the ground and started to smile foolishly, Fang Yi shook his head.

He didn't expect that when he used his special authority to write a letter to Ubuyashiki Kōya, the 'pillar' who would come to support him would actually be Kanroji Mitsuri.

The 'pillars' who were hired for free with special permissions or by spending contributions must be free to get support. It seems that the other 'pillars' are very busy, so Mitsuri Kanroji came to provide support.

At the same time, this "pillar" made a big mistake during the battle. He was about to die just when he had just had a tentative fight with Chen Cheng, showing weakness to ensure that the other party would not escape, and was about to get rid of Chen Cheng.

This completely disrupted Fang Yi's original plan. He had to use the newly acquired [Preemptive Strike] skill to find a way and used the cheating method of [Merge Events] in the parallel world to avoid using [Five Emperors' Coins] to revive.

Fang Yi had two main purposes at the beginning of his trip to Asakusa.

One is to try to improve the actual level of his swordsmanship through Rengoku Makijuro.

The second is to let Nakamori Yuto play himself, try fishing, hunt reincarnations, and even Chen Cheng.

As one of the few people who knew about Chen Cheng's [Cognitive Modification] talent, Fang Yi speculated that Chen Cheng's talent had a time limit.

Therefore, he believed that after betraying the Demon Slayer Corps, the other party would quickly return to Asakusa to cash in on some of the information he had, or continue to use his talent to renew the "nails" he had planted in the Demon Slayer Corps.

In any case, the other party will most likely return to Asakusa, so you have a chance to catch him.

But on the night he first arrived in Asakusa, Fang Yi killed the hostile reincarnation 'Pancake' and saved Rengoku Chijuro, but the other party saw through his true identity.

At the same time, there was a reincarnation at the scene who thought he was very good at pretending to be dead and had learned all this information.

So Fang Yi decisively tried to set a trap for Chen Cheng.

It is obviously difficult for ordinary reincarnations to obtain information about the residence of the former Flame Pillar, such as Rengoku Makijuro, and he only learned about it from a letter from Ubuyashiki Yoya.

Then there is a high probability that the other party's intelligence came from Chen Cheng, and there is a small probability that they obtained it themselves.

Through this surviving reincarnationist, he spread the true news that he, a talented swordsman, came to Asakusa and used a weaker swordsman to fish, attracting the attention of reincarnationists with a certain threshold and even Chen Cheng.

At the same time, he continued to use Nakamori Yuto to fish, spread false information, and let the other party relax their vigilance, thinking that they knew the "truth".

At this moment, Fang Yi took double insurance to rule out the possibility that these reincarnationists obtained information about the Purgatory Family from other channels, or that this reincarnationist escaped directly and the "truth" could not be spread.

He used the authority of the "Pillar" through the base in Asakusa to request a Nichirin sword. At the same time, in the letter he wrote to Ubuyashiki Yoya, he also asked the other party to spread the information that a "Pillar" was sent to Asakusa for support as much as possible to those suspected of being traitors.

The original plan was to continue hunting some reincarnations the next night to further create surface rumors.

Chen Cheng used superficial rumors to obtain information through unique intelligence channels, even if the survivor he deliberately let go did not pass on the information he wanted. After verifying the two, he obtained the intelligence that the enemy was fishing for:

The swordsman who killed the Upper Three invited a "pillar" to use a weaker swordsman as bait, setting an ambush in Asakusa to hunt down the reincarnations of the demon camp.

This is a lineup that does not appear to be beyond Chen Cheng's killing ability. The opponent who gets the news will most likely try to eat him.

But there is also the possibility that Chen Cheng is not in Asakusa, and this tactic can only catch some reincarnations.

Therefore, Fang Yi did not use the high friendship level to attract Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho.

First, the method of friendly invitation depends on the other party's wishes, and second, the timeliness cannot be guaranteed.

If you don't pay contribution points to this kind of highly friendly character, you need to see if there is a vacancy on the other side and also see if the other side is willing.

Just like Nakamori Yuto followed him voluntarily out of his own will, he sent two "pillars" when he was not sure whether Chen Cheng would take action and the Demon Slayer Corps was short of manpower. If he made a wasted trip, there would be a risk of losing friendship.

Furthermore, if too many "pillars" gather together, the whereabouts may not be kept secret, and the enemy may retreat.

What if Chen Cheng feels unsure and doesn’t take action?
Taking into account the situation where the four of his own "pillars" have gathered together, once Muzan Kibutsuji gets this news, it is very likely that the one coming is Kokushibo, one of the Upper Moons.

When Boss Xia saw several members of the Demon Slayer Corps gathered together, he did not hesitate to take action.

Therefore, it is very tempting for Chen Cheng to maintain the lineup of himself + a "pillar" on the surface.

In addition, even if Chen Cheng did not take action, this "pillar" who simply used his authority to get something for free would not have to pay a high price.
-
On the night of the second day after arriving in Asakusa, when Fang Yi and Nakamori Yuto failed to kill the Reincarnator, Fang Yi had a premonition that Chen Cheng was going to take action.

In this case, it is obvious that someone has certain special permissions and has used the constraints of the ghost camp or taken advantage of the reincarnation. It is most likely Chen Cheng.

The feeling of being under surveillance at the Rengoku family on the third day made Fang Yi realize that Chen Cheng must have learned the information that he had rescued Rengoku Chijuro.

As for the enemy's combat power, as the only two reincarnations with Liao Lin who made good contributions in the ghost camp, Fang Yi speculated based on his own contribution that the other party might be able to get an upper-rank as help.

At the same time, there is a high probability that Muzan Kibutsuji will assign a task to kill his own demon. Therefore, the enemy's combat power, calculated at the maximum level, is Chen Cheng, two upper-rank demons, and several reincarnations.

But just as he was afraid of scaring Chen Cheng away, if the enemy tried to do something during the day, it would scare him away.

The opponent's mission is to kill you, not others, so you will attract the most powerful firepower.

The upper-rank demons can determine the battlefield based on their location at night, and at the same time share the vision of teammates through [Blood Demon Art: Eye Hidden] to obtain more intelligence.

As night fell, the Rengoku family was not attacked. After consuming a lot of physical strength and mana, they cleared out the reincarnations and encountered an upper-rank demon.

Fang Yi was waiting for Chen Cheng's sneak attack at this moment, because he judged that the enemy would definitely attack when he was alone.

But Chen Cheng was obviously very cunning. He had been waiting until he was about to reach Purgatory's house, thinking that the other party was testing him tonight and was letting down his guard.

He then cooperated with an unexpected upper-rank demon to attack himself who was "consumed a lot and unable to escape", and at the same time tried to kill his teammates quickly to create an advantage.

In the tentative fight, I poisoned myself to trick Chen Cheng into thinking that I had the advantage, and he was about to attack me and would not run away, and then I would crush him to death.

However, Fang Yi observed that Nakamori Yuto and Rengoku Makijuro were in poor condition due to a sneak attack at the beginning, so the attack lasted longer than planned, and Kanroji Mitsuri was about to suffocate because the trap malfunctioned.

Normally, under normal circumstances, if Nakamori Yuto, Rengoku Makijuro, and Kanroji Mitsuri performed normally, Fang Yi could get rid of Chen Cheng at a small cost and then get rid of the upper-rank demons.

But at this moment, if you want to save everyone, you must use a radical strategy to use [Five Emperors' Coins] to pretend to be dead and kill Chen Cheng quickly, and then use the mana reset by multiple resurrections to heal your teammates.

Fortunately, [Preemptive Strike] triggered the second effect, which is rarely triggered, skipping the process of mastering the skill.

At the same time, he was a senior Type-Moon enthusiast in his previous life. He spent a lot of money on a certain game and understood the skill behind [Swallow Return], which involves the principle of [matter merging] in the parallel world. At the same time, he had a lot of spare life to pay for the cost of activating this ability.

This temporarily gained a one-time, bug-level ability to finish off the enemy. "So, this is a crime committed by all my teammates, and I'll do my best?"

Fang Yi looked at the Purgatory House, which was no longer habitable, the three treasure chests in the portable space, and the rare relics distributed in the portable space, and shook his head.

There's no such thing as a leader. A leader is someone who does things that others can't do. Passing the buck isn't acceptable.

【In the end, the ending is good and there are many gains.】

[Let’s brush up the friendship of new characters first]

This Mitsuri Kanroji is very durable, has a strong body, is not fragile, and is not easy to kill, so it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with her.

He looked at Mitsuri Kanroji who was still lying on the ground in a daze, and stretched out his hand to pull the female swordsman up.

"Fang Yi, the swordsman, has only been practicing with the sword for a short time. How about you?"

When Miss Mitsuri Kanroji heard this, this swordsman, whose muscles were eight times that of an ordinary person and whose physical fitness was ten times that of the fishmen in One Piece, and who was very strong and durable, woke up as if from a dream and pretended to be weak, and stood up with the help of Fang Yi.

"Kanroji Mitsuri, swordsman, practice swordsmanship, let me think."

Mitsuri Kanroji began counting on her fingers, recalling how many times she had practiced the Heavenly Sword, feeling quite like a foolish beauty.

Fang Yi put on a polite smile and gave a friendly reminder to Mitsuri Kanroji who was lost in her memories.

"Miss Ganlu Temple, would you like a change of clothes and water?"

Only then did Mitsuri Kanroji remember that her clothes had many holes due to the enemy's attacks. The Demon Slayer Corps uniforms were originally moisture-proof, but she was already soaked in the water ball formed by Gamatsu's [Blood Demon Jutsu: Blood Hell Bowl].

Her face flushed and she made an inaudible sound.

"Yes, but I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any spare clothes."

Fang Yi then walked to Nakamori Yuto and treated the unconscious Rengoku Makijuro and the seriously injured Nakamori Yuto. At the same time, he took out the Demon Slayer Corps uniform from the package in the relatively intact guest room.

At the backup base, Fang Yi took several sets of uniforms.

"Yes, it's a usable coat. Change out of this wet coat first and buy some other clothes later."

"I have some medicine here that can be applied to the wound. It will be very effective. Do you want to try it?"

Kanroji Mitsuri nodded quickly, and at the same time looked around, seeing Rengoku Chijuro taking care of Rengoku Makijuro, and Nakamori Yuto with his eyes closed. So she sneaked aside with Fang Yi and began the treatment.

After a while, she changed her clothes and finished the treatment. Her chest was filled with the Demon Slayer Corps uniform without openings. She took the initiative to invite Fang Yi to a night out.

"I'm not familiar with Asakusa and need someone to show me the way. Are you available?"

Fang Yi naturally knew that this was an outright lie, but he did not expose it. Instead, he gave an affirmative answer.

"Okay, of course I'd be happy to."

Fang Yi said casually while looking at Mitsuri Kanroji who was trying to look at her toes but could only see her uniform.

"Miss Ganlu Temple, do you have any dietary restrictions? I'm a little hungry too. After buying clothes, I want to go get some food."

"I would like to invite Miss Ganlu Temple to enjoy some delicious food with me."

"What do you think, Miss Ganlu Temple?"

Before Fang Yi finished speaking, Mitsuri Kanroji suddenly raised her head, obviously very interested.

"Of course, I'm a little hungry too."

As she spoke, Mitsuri Kanroji subconsciously touched her belly and spoke in a slightly lower voice.

“But my appetite might be a little bit big.”

Obviously, the 'big' that Miss Kanroji Mitsuri was talking about was definitely more than just a little bit.

Fang Yi naturally knew it, but he didn't care and just continued to speak with a smile.

"It's okay. My family's martial arts school is quite large and we have quite a bit of wealth from the past. As a result, my wallet is quite full and I can afford to eat as much as I want."

Mitsuri Ganlu Temple wanted to refuse, but Fang Yi made the decision directly.

“When I came to Asakusa, I remember there was a good ramen restaurant”

"We can finish our shopping early before it gets too late and enjoy some delicious food before the shops close."

"So, let's go, Miss Ganlu Temple."

Fang Yi looked at Mitsuri Ganlu Temple and extended the invitation seriously and proactively.

Mitsuri Ganlu Temple looked at Fang Yi's face and felt unable to say no, so she had to give an affirmative answer.

"it is good"

Then Miss Mitsuri of Ganlu Temple turned her head away, avoiding Fang Yi's face and eyes, and began to recover her rapid heartbeat.

When Fang Yi and Kanroji Mitsuri walked out of the Rengoku family and headed towards the prosperous and beautiful Asakusa, the space notification sound also sounded at the right time.
[Kanroji Mitsuri]'s friendship towards you becomes [73/100]

Fang Yi listened to the prompt sound in his ear and the smile on his face became even wider.

【Get a tough teammate√】

Finally, I can rest up tonight and enjoy the bustling Asakusa.

【Check the rewards tomorrow】

The night belonging to Fang Yi and Kanroji Mitsuri has begun.
