I, Yorii Tsugikuni, Must Do Something Chapter 42

"Could he be Yorii Tsugikuni?"

He brushed past the young man.

The markings on the young man's face reminded Esdeath of Yorii Tsugikuni, whom she had heard about before.

However, as she still had to report to the Imperial Palace, she didn't linger.

Seeing that the street had returned to normal, Yorii Tsugikuni began to walk back.

He didn't pay much attention to Esdeath.

"Yorii, over here."

Sayo ran over from a distance, carrying Kobi, which looked like an eggshell.

Her smile showed how happy she was.

Yorii Tsugikuni, who had been planning to go home, stopped in the street.

"Look what I have here?"

Walking up to Yorii Tsugikuni, Sayo took out something that looked like a round disk.

This palm-sized disk had an extremely smooth circular area in the center, with many straight lines on it, like a chessboard.

Yorii Tsugikuni looked at it for a long time, with no idea what it was.

"This was made by Dr. Fashion. It also utilizes the materials you got from Adai."

"As long as you press here, it can detect the location of rabbit fur within a large range."

Seeing Yorii Tsugikuni's confused expression, Sayo no longer kept him in suspense.

Instead, she demonstrated it directly to Yorii Tsugikuni.

As she pressed a small raised dot on the disk in her hand, Several small dots immediately appeared on the dial, showing their positions.

"With this, we can track multiple targets more intuitively and also know their movement trajectories."

Holding the disk, Sayo looked at the small dots on it, quite excited.

For the Imperial Guard, this thing was simply a divine artifact.

"It's indeed very powerful."

Yorii Tsugikuni was somewhat surprised to see such a magical item for the first time.

There was nothing like this in his hometown.

"I'll leave this to you, Yorii. Dr. Fashion named it the Tracker."

Sayo placed the Tracker in Yorii Tsugikuni's hand.

This item, when combined with Yorii Tsugikuni's Imperial Arms, would undoubtedly play a greater role.

"Dr. Fashion also made me a City Crime Detector, but it's not completely finished yet."

"So, although I like it, there's something more suitable for me."

Seeing Yorii Tsugikuni hesitate, Sayo smiled and explained.

Chapter 62: Cooperating Revolutionary Army and Foreigners

After listening to Sayo's explanation, Yorii Tsugikuni accepted the Tracker.

When Sayo finished explaining the Tracker's purpose, Yorii Tsugikuni's first thought was of Muzan Kibutsuji.

He also became interested in the person called Dr. Fashion.

Perhaps in the future, he could ask him to make an even more powerful tracker, which might allow him to find that guy.

"Huh?"

"The foreigner we let escape earlier seems to have started moving."

Sayo's gaze was drawn to a small dot on the Tracker. This was because she had previously had people follow the foreign spy.

After the spy escaped, she successfully found a stronghold of the foreigners in the Imperial Capital.

Sayo had originally thought that the spy might stay in the stronghold for a while, but she didn't expect him to come out of the stronghold so soon.

"Let's go take a look."

Holding the Tracker and letting Adai lead the way, Yorii Tsugikuni and Sayo tracked in the direction of the small dot.

Looking at the small dot on the Tracker, which was gradually approaching other locations of the Revolutionary Army that Yorii Tsugikuni had previously marked, Yorii Tsugikuni felt some doubt: 'Are the foreigners in contact with the Revolutionary Army?'

With doubt, Yorii Tsugikuni and Sayo watched their own small dots. After getting very close to the small green dots gathered together, He and Sayo slowed down.

They began to approach more slowly.

"Weren't you captured?"

"Showing up here, aren't you worried someone followed you, you bastard?"

In a dilapidated attic, the foreign man released by Sayo caused a stir among the raggedly dressed people inside as soon as he appeared.

"Don't worry, I escaped."

"I just came to finish up some matters from our last exchange."

The burly foreign man waved his hand, signaling for them not to worry.

Their first cooperation with the Revolutionary Army last time was completely disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Imperial Guard before it could even begin.

"The higher-ups have said that this operation is canceled."

"But we hope for a more pleasant cooperation next time."

The conversation between the two parties was very brief. After the Revolutionary Army announced the halt of their operation, both sides quickly dispersed after their meeting.

"Why didn't you capture them?"

Sayo and Yorii Tsugikuni were hidden on the rooftop where the group met.

However, after the meeting between the two parties concluded, Sayo wanted to pursue the revolutionaries and the foreign people who had just left.

Seeing Yorii Tsugikuni still remaining in place, she was a bit confused.

"There doesn't seem to be much point in capturing them."

Yorii Tsugikuni hadn't expected the Revolutionary Army to get involved with the foreign people.

However, upon a moment's thought, it wasn't impossible.

The foreign people had just suffered a defeat at Esdeath's hands, and while the Revolutionary Army was also strong, they still lagged behind the Empire.

Furthermore, both of them had the Empire as their enemy.

In this light, it was normal for them to join forces.

But in Yorii Tsugikuni's view, the Revolutionary Army's actions were akin to inviting a wolf into the house.

In his homeland, there were quite a few historical instances of countries being destroyed and their people annihilated by relying on the strength of foreign races.

"It seems so."

"Although those guys aren't very strong, it's very difficult to interrogate them for any information."

Sayo stopped.

She pondered for a moment, looking at the scattered dots on the tracker, and gave up on the apprehension.

It wasn't worth the risk of exposing some of their methods and alerting the foreign people and the Revolutionary Army.

"However, the foreign people and the Revolutionary Army joining forces."

"This matter needs to be reported."

Walking back with Yorii Tsugikuni, Sayo recalled some of the conversation they had just had.

Although there was no substantive content, the fact that the two parties had joined forces was something that couldn't help but make one vigilant.

"Mm."

Yorii Tsugikuni had also thought of this.

Although he was just an outsider, Yorii Tsugikuni did not want to see the Imperial Capital engulfed in war.

In that case, a large number of people would undoubtedly die.

The entire Empire would turn into a living hell.

After reporting the discovered situation through a civil official, Yorii Tsugikuni returned to his residence.

Because he had returned a bit late, Tatsumi and the others had already fallen asleep at the dining table in front of the living room fireplace.

Sayo was also yawning while holding a book.

Are they all waiting for me?

Looking at the untouched food on the dining table, a smile appeared on Yorii Tsugikuni's face.

He hadn't expected the three of them to still be waiting for him.

"Master is back."

Hearing Yorii Tsugikuni's footsteps, Sayo smiled and put down the book in her hand.

She then woke up Tatsumi and Ieyasu.

"Have you eaten?"

After being patted on the shoulder by Sayo, Ieyasu was the first to react, realizing they could start eating.

He instinctively picked up his cutlery, and seeing Yorii Tsugikuni's smile, he awkwardly scratched his head.

"Tatsumi, help me carry the plates, and Ieyasu, you help too."

"The food's a bit cold, let me heat it up. Please wait a moment, Master."

Under Sayo's direction, the three of them began to busy themselves again.

Watching the three of them work, Yorii Tsugikuni suddenly felt a sense of being at home.

He too had once had a happy decade.

Back then, his wife would cook at home while he worked in the fields and gathered wild fruits from the mountains.

No matter how late he returned home, his wife would wait for him to eat together.

The importance of the three in his heart gradually grew as time passed.

After a simple dinner.

Yorii Tsugikuni returned to his room.

"We found all these books. We still haven't found any results regarding Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni's hometown, but we'll keep helping you search..."

The window in the room was half-open.

Underneath a book that looked quite old, a piece of paper was pressed. On it, neat handwriting in elegant strokes was written, conveying words to Yorii Tsugikuni.

At the bottom, where the signature should be, was a black cat paw print.

Without needing to think, Yorii Tsugikuni knew.

This was left for him by Chelsea.

Only she would leave a cat paw print like that, and it was also a unique memory from when they first met.

Yorii Tsugikuni sat down on the chair and slowly opened the books that Night Raid had brought him.

After experiencing too much disappointment.

Yorii Tsugikuni was now able to face most unsatisfactory outcomes with a sense of calm.
