I, Yorii Tsugikuni, Must Do Something Chapter 46

Shira, who aspired to surpass his father, became interested in the man named Yorii Tsugikuni.

"Slap!"

"Slap!!"

"Slap!!!"

Loud slaps rang out across Shira's face, three in quick succession, echoing crisply in the spacious hall.

"My foolish son."

"When will you ever learn to be smarter?"

Honest watched his son Shira with a smile.

He gently patted Shira's already swollen face, his tone filled with coldness.

For a long time, he had been painstakingly trying to win over Yorii Tsugikuni.

But his son Shira, upon returning to the Imperial Capital, had nearly destroyed all his previous efforts.

If Shira weren't his son, Honest would have used a knife instead of his palm just now.

"I didn't leave any evidence."

"He has no way to convict me, nor can he arrest me."

Feeling the stinging pain on his face, Shira spoke with unconcealed defiance.

He couldn't quite understand why Honest was reacting so strongly to this matter.

And why he would hit him for an outsider.

"No evidence, no conviction?"

"If it were possible, I'd truly want to stuff you back into your mother's womb."

Honest shook his head.

He was deeply disappointed in his son.

His son had inherited none of his excellent genes, and in all other aspects, he was a complete mess.

He simply didn't grasp the core of the issue.

From his understanding of Yorii Tsugikuni over this period, He had figured out Yorii Tsugikuni's temperament. As long as he wasn't provoked, and things that trampled on the Security Force's duties were kept away from him, That man wouldn't concern himself too much with other matters.

The reason he had chosen to warn his subordinates to restrain themselves was to avoid conflict with Yorii Tsugikuni.

Even if he couldn't recruit Yorii Tsugikuni to his side, he wanted to avoid making an enemy of him.

But now, Shira had directly shattered the delicate balance he had so painstakingly maintained.

I hope Esdeath can keep him in check.

When Esdeath returned this time, she quickly sent an invitation to Yorii Tsugikuni, and he had also played a part in guiding her.

In Honest's view, Yorii Tsugikuni was now subtly slipping out of his control.

Therefore, his objective in guiding Esdeath to fight Yorii Tsugikuni was simple: to put Yorii Tsugikuni in his place.

After all, compared to Yorii Tsugikuni, Esdeath's relationship with him was much more stable.

Of course, he had also anticipated and prepared for the worst-case scenario.

However, the probability of it happening was extremely low, and its impact on him would be extremely limited.

"Stay put and don't provoke that guy."

"If you die, I'll be very happy."

Patting Shira's face, Honest's tone was full of warning.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Highly Anticipated Great Battle, Sayo Goes Missing

The news that Esdeath and Yorii Tsugikuni were going to have a battle.

quickly spread.

Because both of them were so famous, this battle attracted the attention of all factions within the Imperial Capital.

Although the battle was scheduled for a month later, speculation about the outcome of the fight between the two quickly became the most popular topic of discussion among the residents of the Imperial Capital during their leisure time.

Major casinos also began accepting bets from the public on the outcome of the battle between the two.

While the outside world was in an uproar...

"If there's anything you need help with, Yorii, please just say the word."

"As for Shira, he's currently traveling in the south and might return in a few days."

Outside Honest's mansion.

Honest was very enthusiastic when Yorii Tsugikuni arrived to investigate.

After leading Yorii Tsugikuni and the others on a tour of the mansion, he reluctantly saw them off.

"Master."

"I feel like Honest was lying through his teeth, but I can't pinpoint any specific issue."

Although Honest was extremely cooperative during their inspection.

He didn't put on any airs.

Ieyasu still felt something was off.

"Whether he's lying or not."

"At least Shira isn't in his mansion, that much is true."

Yorii Tsugikuni walked slowly through the streets with the others.

Honest was like an eel, impossible to get a handle on.

He maintained a completely professional demeanor.

"So what do we do next?"

Sayo looked at Yorii Tsugikuni. They had been investigating this matter for a week.

But they had found no leads at all.

"We wait for him to appear."

"Let's focus our energy on other things for now."

Yorii Tsugikuni thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.

Although Shira was the most suspected, they couldn't find him.

Continuing like this wasn't a solution.

The Security Force had many other matters to attend to and couldn't afford to just wait around.

Disappeared?

Yorii Tsugikuni walked forward slowly.

He had just sensed someone spying on them, but they had vanished completely and quickly.

"Alright then."

"We got paid today, and speaking of which, we still owe Sayo a big meal."

Sayo nodded.

Putting her worries aside for the moment.

In the blink of an eye, they had been in the Security Force for a month.

A month wasn't long, but they had accomplished a lot.

Taking out her money pouch, Sayo's face broke into a happy smile.

Sayo had taken good care of them over the past month.

They had already agreed to treat Sayo to a big meal.

"I already told Sayo about this this morning."

"She said she'd come find us after delivering food to the orphanage."

When it came to a big meal, Ieyasu was the first to enthusiastically agree.

Furthermore, after mastering the Breathing Techniques, he felt his appetite had increased significantly.

At their usual restaurant.

After ordering all the dishes.

Yorii Tsugikuni and the other three waited for Sayo to arrive.

While waiting, they started chatting.

"Master."

"I want to go back to my hometown. The empire is too chaotic right now, and sending money back isn't feasible."

Tatsumi poured Yorii Tsugikuni a cup of hot tea. According to their original plan.

After finding their footing in the Imperial Capital, they would regularly send supplies or money back to the people in their hometown.

However, due to the recent famine, many refugees had joined the Revolutionary Army and started cutting off major transport routes to seize food.

The Imperial Capital's prices for food and other supplies had begun to rise due to the disruption of transport routes.

Therefore, Tatsumi wanted to make the trip himself to send some things back to his hometown folks.

"Mm."

"Be careful on the road."

Yorii Tsugikuni nodded.

Under the famine, the Empire's situation was getting worse.

In the week they had been involved, there were at least three or four incidents of grain being stolen that they had investigated.

"Sister Sayo, why hasn't she arrived yet?"

"What if something happened to her?"

Sayo looked out the window. The western sun had already set, but Sayo still hadn't appeared.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I'll go take a look."

Ieyasu put down the teacup in his hand and walked towards the door.

Yorii Tsugikuni, meanwhile, took out the tracker.

"Is this Sister Sayo?"

"She's still at the orphanage… she disappeared?"

Seeing Yorii Tsugikuni take out the tracker, Sayo and Tatsumi crowded around.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the small dot representing Sayo was still there.

But suddenly, the small dot representing Sayo vanished.

"Adai, let's go!"
