Chapter 85: The Difficulty of Writing a Combat Report

The next day, a Demon Slayer Corps base was temporarily activated.

When Yuto Nakamori woke up, he found that his body was intact. When he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar uniform ceiling of the Demon Slayer Corps' base.

Feeling more carefully, he found that the bed he was lying on was also the narrow but sturdy bed unique to the stronghold.

All of this felt extremely familiar to him. This was exactly the life he had been experiencing since he became a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The perception of all this familiarity also made him doubt a little about last night's fantastic experience.

He began to recall what happened last night. First, all his teammates in the base were killed by the demon team and demons, and then he participated in the Lower Moon subjugation battle at Nada Spider Mountain under the leadership of Fang Yi.

They killed the demon with their own hands and learned a lot of knowledge under Fang Yi's teaching. Then they encountered Brother Yiyong and Lady Kocho Shinobu who came to support them, and finally encountered a powerful demon.

Under the siege of two lower-ranked warriors, he tried his best to hold on for a while and made an insignificant contribution to the implementation of Lord Fang Yi's plan.

Every detail of the battle was vivid, as if still flashing before Nakamori Yuto's eyes.

However, now that I am in familiar surroundings and my body is intact, it all seems so incredible.

"Could it be that all of that was just a dream? Was it something I imagined for no reason? Was that incredibly powerful Lord Fang Yi also a figment of my imagination?"

Nakamori Yuto was filled with doubts. He remembered every minute and every second of the battle, and also remembered how he had comprehended the breathing technique of [Complete Collection·Changzhong] in the desperate situation.

However, everything in the stronghold felt so real to him, as if the battle had never happened.

He stood up and sat on the bed, raised his hand and touched his face, feeling warmth and the breath of life, without any scars from the battle.

At this moment, he couldn't help but start to doubt whether everything that happened last night was reality or a dream.

Although the memory of the battle was so real that it made his heart palpitate, the environment before him was also so real that he could not deny it.

[Is this a real dream? But the skills in my mind and the continuous breathing all confirm that what happened when I met Fang Yi last night was real.]

Then he saw the 'Sword Boy' pushing the door open, carrying many Nichirin swords and beginning to maintain them. He tentatively asked, "Did we encounter a very powerful demon last night?"

The 'knife-carrying boy' wasn't nervous at all, and answered casually while he began to maintain the knife.

"Yes, I heard from Lady Kocho Shinobu that it was Upper Rank Three, who died at the hands of Lady Fang Yi. Lady Kocho Shinobu is writing a report now."

Nakamori Yuto's voice trembled as he asked again, "Upper Rank Three, is he dead?"

The 'Knife-carrying Brother' didn't stop his maintenance work and repeated, "Yes, Upper Three is dead, died before sunrise. Didn't Master Fang Yi say that as long as we follow his orders, we can survive? He really does mean what he says."

"I think the upper-rank demons are only slightly stronger than the lower-rank demons, so it's not surprising that they were killed by the powerful Lord Fang Yi, right? It's just that the Nichirin Blades were not enough in the end. Next time, I will carry a few more for Lord Fang Yi to use. Maybe he will kill demons faster next time."

These ignorant and fearless words made Nakamori Yuto roll his eyes.

Before sending himself out to participate in the selection of the Demon Slayer Corps, Urokodaki Sakonji specifically explained to him the huge gap between the Upper and Lower Rank Demons. As for the first few Upper Rank Demons, they were already legendary figures.

Then, last night I had the honor of becoming a part of the legend and witnessing the birth of a new legend.

"Master Fang Yi killed the Upper Three and will surely become a legendary figure. The story will be adapted and passed down, and I am fortunate to be a part of it."

Nakamori Yuto seemed to have recalled something and continued to ask, "The Upper Three died before the sun rose?"

"Yes, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Upper Three demon, with the cooperation of Tomioka Giyuu-sama and Kocho Shinobu-sama, was finally beheaded by Fang Yi-sama with a single blow, and he remained motionless on the spot."

Nakamori Yuto was no longer able to say anything. He sat on the bed in a daze and began to count the time with his fingers.

"If I'm not mistaken, Master Fang Yi will learn the sword skills in ten minutes, kill the Lower Moon in ten minutes, and then kill the Upper Three in ten minutes?" Nakamori Yuto thought about it and suddenly realized that he wouldn't dare to do such a thing even in his dreams. However, such a person actually existed in his real life.

After spending a long while reminiscing about last night's battle, Nakamori Yuto got up and walked to the training ground to practice his sword skills.

He had a premonition that if he followed Fang Yi as a follower, the ensuing battle would only be more brutal. He had to seize every opportunity to become stronger and not hold Fang Yi back.

"Let's work hard to kill the Lower Moon! I must not let Master Fang Yi down. He said I could become an excellent swordsman!"

Nakamori Yuto no longer slacked off in the base like usual, but started training with full motivation.
-
In another room in the Demon Slayer Corps' base, Shinobu Kocho was writing a report and then informing the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kōya, of everything that happened there.

The incident that took place at Nada Spider Mountain not only involved a Lower Moon, but also involved two Pillars whose whereabouts were leaked and ambushed by demons. Finally, a demon of the Upper Three appeared and was killed.

Obviously, crows alone cannot convey so much information, so before Giyu Tomioka recovers from his injury.

As the highest-ranking person in the Demon Slayer Corps at this stronghold, she naturally needed to write a detailed combat report to inform the lord of what happened here.

Shinobu Kocho thought it over again and again, then took a piece of manuscript paper and wrote it down.

"A quarter of an hour before sunrise, we encountered an upper third demon, who led an ambush of three lower third demons. The battle was not going well, but in the end, with the help of a member who was not a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, we killed all the demons."

After finishing writing, she felt something was wrong, so she crumpled up the manuscript paper, threw it into the trash can, took out a new piece of manuscript paper, and began to think about how to make her report more credible.

Shinobu Kocho held her chin with one hand, her fingers gently playing with the butterfly hair accessory, her mind full of thoughts. She replayed last night's experience over and over in her mind, but she couldn't find the right words to describe Fang Yi.

She couldn't help but sigh, the manuscript paper in front of her was still blank.

"How should I write it?" she thought to herself.

During the mission, he met an unknown but handsome man. With his help, he killed the Upper Three who had pushed him into a desperate situation in less than a quarter of an hour without sacrificing a single person.

[This is all too incredible. Who would believe it if I wrote it down?]

If she had really written this in the report, the lord would probably think that her notes were forged, or worse, that she was crazy and had imagined these absurd plots.

Shinobu Kocho shook her head slightly, her heart filled with helplessness and confusion.

She recalled Fang Yi's actions again, and it all seemed like a dream.

His appearance, his magical power, his strong combat experience, and the scene where he single-handedly saved her from an attack that threatened her life, all made her unforgettable.

She looked down at the manuscript in front of her, still clueless. Fang Yi's figure kept appearing in her mind, and his legendary experience began to replay over and over again.

He learned the sword skills in ten minutes, killed the Lower Moon Five in ten minutes, and during the battle, he listened to Tomioka Giyu's explanation of the key points of breathing techniques, and then he learned the breathing techniques, and then fought hand-to-hand with the Upper Moon Three without losing.

After just a few encounters, he analyzed the enemy's intelligence for his teammates, found a solution, and finally killed the enemy with his own hands.

At the same time, according to his speech, he has an undisguised hatred for ghosts and is determined to kill evil ghosts.

After seeing Tomioka Giyu use his own sword technique once, he learned it and even used it better than the founder, Tomioka Giyu.

Tomioka Giyu was seriously injured after blocking the attack of the Upper Three, but he picked himself up with one hand and used Tomioka Giyu's self-created sword technique with one hand to protect himself, so he was only slightly injured.

Thinking of this, Shinobu Kocho's face turned slightly red. When she recalled that scene, she could always feel an extraordinary charm emanating from the other person.

[What kind of past does this man have? What kind of story does he have? ]

Shinobu Kocho was dazed again, but finally she forced herself to write the report truthfully and submitted this somewhat outrageous combat report to the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoya.
