A demon of 5th grade was huge and was going near to Yuzui and attacked.
But suddenly the 5th grade demon stopped. And Ichiro's sword was not in Yuzui's hands.
And suddenly the 5th grade demon sliced into a lot of pieces and blood of demon started exploding out of his body.
And suddenly Ichiro appeared holding his sword.
Yuzui didn't understood what just happened and said, "Wh... What was that?"
The huge demon of 5th grade rained of his blood and Ichiro's all clothes were totally covered with the blood of the demon.
Ichiro said, "Yuzui, hear what I am saying. The demons are going to rage and attack at this city soon. Choose one thing, whether you will go to the castle to tell Emi about it and I fight with demons or vice versa."
Yuzui said, "Huh? Huh?! There is a raid of demons!"
Ichiro said, "Don't be shock and take responsibility of any one thing, will you warn Emi and alert her or you will like to fight."
Yuzui said, "Why don't you just decide on your own? Anyways, I am going to inform Emi, but... You stay alive!"
And Yuzui ran away towards the castle to inform Emi and Ichiro said, "Ok, I will try to be alive." And a lot of demons were in front of Ichiro.
Yuzui saw at the sky and it was totally turning into cloudy.
Yuzui said, "I have to help everyone!!!" And suddenly the speed of Yuzui increased and she started running with a speed of a flash and more than of Ichiro!
Yuzui reached the castle in a few seconds to inform to Emi with high speed but was not able to stop her legs so she ended up colliding and breaking the gate of the castle as well of the mansion.
Yuzui was badly injured and Navie arrived and said, "What happened, miss? Are you alright?"
Yuzui came in senses and said, "The demons have begin a raid!"
And Navie was shocked and shouted, "Lady Emi!"
And suddenly Emi arrived and said, "Yes, I was expecting of it only. Yuzui, where is big brother?"
Yuzui stood and said, "He might be fighting demons, and he only told me to go and inform you, actually he asked--"
Emi said, "Well done, as expected of him. Pet beasts, call all the Survivors in the hall to get ready for the fight. Navie, ask from others and find Nobela and send him for company big brother, Yuzui, tell her the location."
And pet beasts came on work to inform Survivors to gather and Yuzui told the latest location she knew of Ichiro and Navie went to find Nobela and also to tell to other servants to find him and inform him to give helping hands to Ichiro.
Yuzui said, "Are you upset that I left Ichiro to fight?"
Emi said, "I am not teasing you, I am actually impressed that you came to inform in just a few seconds. But... I am sorry that you can't even enjoy totally on the date."
Yuzui said, "No, don't say sorry for it."
Emi said, "Anyways, heal yourself and as soon as you can, please come in the hall. It is the time to see whether it was worthy to train Survivors for what they had came."
And Emi was just going to take a leave but suddenly she started coughing. Yuzui gave support and said, "Are you all right, Emi?!"
Emi stopped coughing and stood properly and said, "Yes, I am fine."
And Emi took a leave.
"So the side effects have started affecting." Said Emi in her mind.
Whereas, in the Ichiro's location, Ichiro was totally covered with blood of demons, suddenly someone came at behind of Ichiro and said, "Enjoying alone, my lord?"
And he was none other than Nobela.
Ichiro said, "So Yuzui gave the information so fast? And Emi said to you to give me helping hands, right?"
Nobela said, "Well, yes but... I don't think you need any help and just want to enjoy killing demons so... I will also like to enjoy." And Nobela did some warm up exercise.
Ichiro smiled and said, "Ok, let's finish it although I have already killed 1000 demons but... I guess demons can divide themselves into multiple so I don't guess there will be any lack for you to enjoy but I... Will definitely destroy your enjoyment." And Ichiro rushed to cut demons.
"A competition? Fair enough, but I will also... Break your number of demons you killed." Said Nobela and he also started hunting demons.
Ichiro and Nobela were not strict on their action, despite of it they were challenging each other that who will kill the most demons and System was also not normal, he also started counting it (but fairly, means the 1000 demons that Ichiro has already killed are not being counted).
Citizens who were seeing the fight of demons versus just two Survivors were scared by Ichiro and Nobela but also knew that they are protecting them and didn't interfere in the match.
30 minutes later, in the mansion of the castle, everyone gathered in the hall and Emi and pet beasts were on the stage to inform the Survivors to get ready for the fight, but Ichiro and Nobela were still not present in it.
Emi said, "Survivors, this is the time to show what you can do! Show--"
And suddenly a voice came of sneezing and it was the work of Nobela's sword.
Ichiro and Nobela and their swords were totally covered with blood and they were just trying to come silently so that nobody can know but by the voice of Nobela's sword sneez, all attention at Ichiro and Nobela.
Ichiro said, "Hehe... Um, Emi. We are back."
And suddenly a huge System board arrived in the stage and everyone was able to see it and what everyone saw was shocking.
