I, Yorii Tsugikuni, Must Do Something Chapter 41

This was because Dangerous Species had appeared in the outer areas of the Imperial Capital.

Yorii Tsugikuni had just arrived at the guard force, and not long after, they began to go out to assist various imperial departments in clearing out these Dangerous Species.

Compared to the leisure of the previous period.

These past few days, the few of them had almost no time to rest.

Yorii Tsugikuni came alone on this outing.

Sayo was handling some urgent matters in the guard force in his stead.

As for Ieyasu, he was responsible for the daily patrols of the city, and Sayo went to Dr. Stylish to modify an Imperial Arm.

'Speaking of which, I haven't seen a Dangerous Species yet.'

Yorii Tsugikuni walked slowly in the outskirts. Although he had heard Tatsumi and the others introduce Dangerous Species many times.

He had never personally encountered one.

He actually wanted to see if Dangerous Species were somewhat similar to Demons when he came out this time.

Although from everyone's descriptions, the two had no connection, Yorii Tsugikuni was still a little curious.

Rumble!

Slowly making his way through the forest.

Yorii Tsugikuni searched from morning until afternoon but didn't see any sign of a Dangerous Species.

He stopped by a stream, drank some water, and then continued on his way.

He originally intended to search for a while longer before returning.

But a sound from a great distance caught Yorii Tsugikuni's attention.

Following the direction of the sound, Yorii Tsugikuni began to sprint rapidly.

His figure flashed through the trees.

Stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground.

'It's them.'

Seeing Akame cutting down a Dangerous Species in the distance, and Sheele beside her, Yorii Tsugikuni was slightly stunned.

"You're not here to track us, are you?"

A crisp voice came from a small mountain behind them.

Then, Mine, with her pink hair, poked her head out from behind a large rock.

The Dangerous Species here had come out and caused great destruction in the middle of the night. After receiving a plea for help, Mine and Akame had come out together.

But they hadn't expected to encounter Yorii Tsugikuni in this place.

Because the higher-ups of the Revolutionary Army had long ago said to avoid conflict with Yorii Tsugikuni as much as possible.

Therefore, when Mine saw Yorii Tsugikuni, she didn't act like she had before.

She didn't aim her Imperial Arm at Yorii Tsugikuni.

"I'm here to track Dangerous Species."

Yorii Tsugikuni had met the others more than once.

Although he wasn't very familiar with them, he wasn't a stranger either.

After observing the Dangerous Species that Akame had killed, Yorii Tsugikuni shook his head in disappointment.

Dangerous Species bore no resemblance to the Demons from his homeland.

"What a strange guy."

"I don't know how he became so strong."

Watching Yorii Tsugikuni leave quickly after examining the Dangerous Species.

Mine looked at his departing back with some confusion.

From Yorii Tsugikuni's appearance, apart from some slightly unique facial features, Mine couldn't see anything special about him.

Yet, it was him who made them struggle to breathe.

Roar roar roar!

Yorii Tsugikuni walked in one direction.

He had just sensed another Dangerous Species lying dormant, so he didn't interact much with the members of Night Raid.

Instead, he took Adai to the location he had sensed.

Looking at the massive Dangerous Species in front of him, Yorii Tsugikuni's hand lightly rested on the hilt of his sword.

"Eliminate."

Adai's wooden sword had already been replaced with a standard short sword by Sayo, who liked it very much.

Seeing Yorii Tsugikuni's movement, it also placed its mechanical hand on the hilt of the short sword.

"Do you want to give it a try?"

Yorii Tsugikuni looked at Adai. Although Adai's strength had been increasing during this time, he had never actually seen it in action.

Hearing Yorii Tsugikuni's words, Adai nodded.

After receiving Yorii Tsugikuni's permission, it took its short little legs and walked towards the giant Dangerous Species.

Mine and the others naturally didn't leave either.

After hearing the roar of the Dangerous Species, they had followed.

"That must be Yorii Tsugikuni's Imperial Arms that Chelsea was talking about."

"I don't know if it's strong, but it's inexplicably cute."

This chance encounter, Night Raid's members and Yorii Tsugikuni were here for the same purpose.

Therefore, the previous hostile atmosphere was gone. Sheele slightly raised her eyes.

Watching Adai take its short little legs and almost trip over a branch, she held back a laugh.

"That's a Class 1 Dangerous Species, isn't it?"

"Its strength should be quite good."

Mine stood beside Sheele. Yorii Tsugikuni's Imperial Arms gave her a very weak impression.

Looking at the dragon-shaped Dangerous Species in the distance, she didn't have much confidence in the little short-legged thing.

Chapter 61: First Encounter with Esdeath

Akame didn't speak. She quietly stared at the small mechanical figure that barely reached Yorii Tsugikuni's knees.

Although the mechanical figure looked a bit clumsy, its sword-holding posture was very similar to Yorii Tsugikuni's.

A Class 1 Dangerous Species, while not particularly powerful in the eyes of Imperial Arms users like them.

Its strength was enough to easily destroy a small town.

Before they came here, these suddenly appearing Dangerous Species had already turned many small towns into ruins.

"Clang!"

Just as everyone was staring at Adai's location, Adai disappeared.

This scene reminded Mine, Sheele, and Akame of the fear they had felt when they were dominated by Yorii Tsugikuni.

However, it was clear that compared to Yorii Tsugikuni, the movements of this small mechanical doll were still traceable.

Unlike Yorii Tsugikuni, who had completely turned into streaks of sword light.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

Not long after disappearing, Adai reappeared on the ground. After launching its attack.

It took its short little legs and walked towards Yorii Tsugikuni, tripping over the same branch on the way.

But this time, Night Raid's members didn't laugh at it.

As Adai tripped, blood-red fine lines appeared on the Dangerous Species behind it.

Then, these fine lines, like cracks on porcelain, sprayed out bright red blood.

The tens of meters tall dragon-shaped Dangerous Species then collapsed like a pile of building blocks, turning into pieces of minced meat.

Yorii Tsugikuni left. After dealing with the Dangerous Species, he began his return journey.

According to the intelligence received earlier, there were only two Dangerous Species here.

"It doesn't seem too weak."

"And it's a rare humanoid Imperial Arms."

Initially, Night Raid had evaluated Yorii Tsugikuni's Imperial Arms.

They hadn't given this Imperial Arms a high rating.

However, judging by the strength displayed by the Imperial Arms just now, it could fight independently without needing Yorii Tsugikuni to control it.

It was much more powerful than a large portion of Imperial Arms.

Recalling the sword strike Adai had just unleashed, she decided to report this matter to Night Raid as soon as possible.

Inside the Imperial Capital.

Yorii Tsugikuni walked slowly with Adai.

As it was getting late, the sky was already covered by the sunset.

However, they hadn't walked far when Yorii Tsugikuni noticed that something seemed to have happened on the street ahead, causing the intersection to be completely blocked.

Yorii Tsugikuni looked up into the distance and saw a group of soldiers riding on tall horses, marching forward with their chests puffed out, enjoying the cheers of the surrounding crowd.

Seeing this, Yorii Tsugikuni was slightly stunned. He thought of someone and continued to scan the surroundings.

In the middle of the procession.

A maiden with fair skin and delicate features, radiating an unparalleled beauty like an ice princess under the sunlight, her long, water-blue hair gently swaying in the wind.

At this moment, she sat serenely astride a white horse, followed closely by three individuals in stern expressions, clad in black uniforms.

'Esdeath?'

Turning his head to look at the maiden on horseback, Yorii Tsugikuni recognized her immediately, having heard of her before.

From the cheers of the surrounding crowd, Yorii Tsugikuni could confirm that this Imperial general was indeed well-loved by the populace.

However, Yorii Tsugikuni didn't pay much attention. He merely glanced at her before looking away.

He stood quietly in place, waiting for the army entering the city to pass.

'Hmm?'

'Interesting.'

Riding her horse, Esdeath felt little from the surrounding cheers.

She had never lost a battle when campaigning.

The intense gazes that occasionally lingered on her made her somewhat annoyed.

Just then, she noticed an interesting little mechanical figure stumble over a stone while trying to avoid the advancing soldiers.

As her gaze followed the mechanical figure, she discovered a person who seemed out of place in the surrounding environment.

Compared to the people around him, he gave off a feeling of being cold and extremely quiet.

Moreover, she had never seen such pure eyes before.
