I, Yorii Tsugikuni, Must Do Something Chapter 7

Unlike others who need to learn through practice, Yorii Tsugikuni possessed extraordinary talent. From birth, he possessed the Markings, the principles of the Clear World, and Breathing Techniques.

After reaching adulthood, Yorii Tsugikuni summarized the Sun Breathing Technique based on what he had mastered.

However, to date, no one has been able to learn Yorii Tsugikuni's Sun Breathing. No one could withstand the power of the sun and learn the Sun Breathing Technique.

With no other option, Yorii Tsugikuni could only have the members of the Demon Slayer Corps learn weakened branch Breathing Techniques.

Currently, Yorii Tsugikuni is also preparing to have Sayo and Ieyasu learn the weakened branch Breathing Techniques.

"Once you've completely mastered Total Concentration: Constant, you'll meet the minimum standard for activating the Markings."

"Although I don't know the exact standard for activating the Markings, without exception, all of them have been genius swordsmen who have thoroughly mastered the realm of Total Concentration: Constant."

"Therefore, I don't recommend that you, Sayo and Ieyasu, attempt the Total Concentration: Constant Breathing Technique."

Yorii Tsugikuni earnestly advised Sayo and Ieyasu.

Sayo and Ieyasu both nodded seriously. They didn't want to choose a path to greater power that would only allow them to live until they were twenty-five.

Chapter 12: The Terrifying Yorii Tsugikuni

"Master, don't worry!"

"I don't want to die at twenty-five."

"I definitely won't learn that Total Concentration: Constant realm!"

Seeing Yorii Tsugikuni looking a bit worried, Ieyasu said carelessly.

There was no need to master the ultimate realm of Breathing Techniques, Total Concentration: Constant.

Sayo and Ieyasu felt that it would be enough to learn the Breathing Technique taught by Yorii Tsugikuni to an average level.

There was no need to pursue the ultimate realm and end up dying young.

"Mm, just be mindful of yourselves normally."

Yorii Tsugikuni smiled slightly, looking at Sayo and Ieyasu, who seemed to understand but not quite.

Compared to those Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who had just entered the realm of Total Concentration: Constant, Yorii Tsugikuni's Total Concentration: Constant Breathing had no obvious signs; it was no different from normal breathing.

However, Yorii Tsugikuni could also actively unleash his Breathing Technique.

"To make it easier for Sayo and Ieyasu to experience."

"Then I will demonstrate the application of the Breathing Technique for you."

"So you can understand the difference between Breathing Techniques and normal breathing."

As Yorii Tsugikuni finished speaking, Sayo and Ieyasu clearly felt a change in him.

Originally, Yorii Tsugikuni gave everyone the impression of being gentle and refined, like a scholarly and delicate young man. But in this instant, Yorii Tsugikuni seemed to transform into a peerless, ferocious god who swept across the world.

It was as if his body was engulfed in blazing flames, exuding supreme might.

The two drastically different, almost extreme changes stunned everyone present.

"Mas-Master..."

Looking at Yorii Tsugikuni, who had instantly turned into a man-eating beast, Ieyasu instinctively swallowed and tried to say something.

But facing Yorii Tsugikuni like this, Ieyasu found himself unable to articulate anything.

It was too terrifying. Ieyasu had never imagined that Yorii Tsugikuni could inspire such fear.

Is this what Master looks like when he's serious?

I really hope I never anger Master in this life.

Ieyasu silently resolved never to anger Yorii Tsugikuni again.

"Ieyasu, don't get distracted. Watch and feel carefully!"

"Listen wholeheartedly to Master's breathing rhythm!"

Compared to Ieyasu, who was directly subdued by Yorii Tsugikuni, Sayo, although startled by Yorii Tsugikuni's sudden change in demeanor, understood that Yorii Tsugikuni was teaching her and Ieyasu.

So Sayo quickly suppressed her emotions and began to listen to Yorii Tsugikuni's breathing rhythm.

Under Yorii Tsugikuni's guidance, Sayo quickly picked up his breathing rhythm and began to try and breathe along with it.

"Sayo, don't rush."

"Ieyasu, you too, quickly calm down, listen carefully to my breathing rhythm, and follow it."

Yorii Tsugikuni naturally wouldn't only know the Sun Breathing Technique.

Back when he was in the Demon Slayer Corps, Yorii Tsugikuni had assisted in creating the Breathing Techniques for the other swordsmen. Therefore, Yorii Tsugikuni quickly shifted his breathing rhythm to a simplified version of Water Breathing.

Then, to the astonished gazes of Sayo and Ieyasu, Yorii Tsugikuni's aura changed again.

He went from being a peerless, ferocious god engulfed in blazing flames to an ethereal young master as calm as still water. His gentle aura made Sayo and Ieyasu feel refreshed.

However, Sayo and Ieyasu snapped back to attention the next moment, closed their eyes, and began to earnestly listen to Yorii Tsugikuni's breathing rhythm, learning it.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a small dining room at Aria's house.

Caven, Calitan, and Aria were all leisurely enjoying their breakfast.

"So, both of these outsiders are off-limits for me and Aria?"

Taking a sip of milk from her mug, Calitan smiled at her husband, Caven, and said, "Honey, it looks like we have a rather extraordinary guest this time."

"En, that's right."

"Calitan and Aria, you two behave yourselves for the next few days."

After hearing Calitan's words, Caven nodded slightly and said somewhat seriously, "Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni's background might not be small. Let's wait until Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni and his two country bumpkin disciples leave in a couple of days."

"As for Aria, just be a little more patient for another two days."

"Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni is quite good. Let's form a good relationship with Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni."

As he spoke, Caven gently rubbed Aria's little head.

Caven was very fond of his well-behaved daughter. In a way, Aria's family simply didn't treat those outsiders without any background as people.

In front of Yorii Tsugikuni, who clearly had a background, Aria's family became much more obedient. Sayo and Ieyasu were equivalent to Yorii Tsugikuni's pet dogs.

Aria's family would also be a bit more polite and wouldn't casually touch other people's 'pets.'

"En, I'll be patient for two more days."

"After all, there's nothing we can do about it."

Aria was much more sensible in front of her father and mother, smiling sweetly, "After Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni and his party finish their visit, Aria will go find new toys."

"Coincidentally, Aria still hasn't learned some noble etiquette very well. I'll study noble etiquette at home these few days."

"There's a banquet in a couple of days that Aria plans to attend."

Although it was a shame she couldn't do anything to Sayo and Ieyasu, especially Sayo, Aria wasn't particularly bothered deep down. Aria had grown up in the Imperial Capital, a great melting pot, since childhood.

Aria could distinguish the importance of things.

Knowing that Yorii Tsugikuni had a significant background, she couldn't act against Yorii Tsugikuni or the 'pet dogs' around him anymore.

"My Aria is the best."

"In that case, let Mom teach you noble etiquette properly."

Calitan chuckled after hearing Aria's words, "Mom is quite confident when it comes to noble etiquette. Aria will definitely be the most radiant girl at the banquet."

"Mhm mhm!"

"With Mom teaching me, I'm even more confident!"

Aria beamed with joy.

In a way, the relationship within Aria's family was like that of a normal family.

Chapter Thirteen: Aria's Family Decides to Drive Them Away

However, it was a pity that Aria's family was rather cruel and twisted towards those outsiders they looked down upon, or rather, they didn't treat outsiders like Sayo and Ieyasu as people at all.

Looking at his wife and daughter interacting warmly, Caven smiled gently, then turned his gaze to his wife, Calitan, and said, "By the way, Calitan."

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni's two disciples want to make a name for themselves in the Imperial Capital, right?"

Yorii Tsugikuni's face clearly showed no desires, making him difficult to approach or please.

Since he had decided to befriend Yorii Tsugikuni, Caven planned to start with the people around Yorii Tsugikuni. Compared to Yorii Tsugikuni, the outsiders Sayo and Ieyasu, whose thoughts were written all over their faces, were much easier to deal with.

"Dad, of course, they want to make a name for themselves in the Imperial Capital."

"Every outsider who comes to the Imperial Capital wants to make a name for themselves here."

After hearing her father's words, Aria said with a giggle, "Our previous toys, weren't they all outsiders who came to the Imperial Capital wanting to make a name for themselves?"

As Earl nobles, Aria's family only needed to show a little bit of friendliness, and those outsiders who came to the Imperial Capital from other places wanting to make a name for themselves would desperately flock to them.

Relying on this false facade, Aria's family had long since stained their hands with countless amounts of blood.

Anyway, whenever they ran out of toys, Aria's family would go out 'patrolling' late at night. If they saw outsiders like Yorii Tsugikuni, Sayo, and Ieyasu spending the night on the streets, they would offer their 'help.'

"Dear, what are your thoughts on this?"

"Helping outsiders make a name for themselves is quite troublesome."

"We don't know how far Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni's family is from us."

Compared to Caven, Calitan was not as eager to form a good relationship with Yorii Tsugikuni.

The current environment of the empire was not very good. The empire was constantly threatened by four foreign tribes on all sides. In Calitan's opinion, it was almost impossible for Yorii Tsugikuni's family to cross the territories of the foreign tribes to enter the empire.

In fact, Calitan thought that even if Yorii Tsugikuni were to disappear directly, there might not be much trouble.

Although they were Earl nobles, in the Imperial Capital, one had to act according to the situation. Calitan felt that investing in Yorii Tsugikuni like this would not yield any good returns.

It was likely that they wouldn't even receive a return from Yorii Tsugikuni, making it not worthwhile to form a good relationship with him.

"En, what you said is also true, Calitan."

"Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni's family is indeed too far from the empire."

Caven pondered for a moment, considering how to deal with Yorii Tsugikuni next.

Since his persona was already established, he needed to maintain a basic image, showing some benevolence and generosity. However, Caven was reluctant to invest too many resources.

"Forget it. While I feel Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni is pretty good and perhaps worth investing in, it's just not possible."

"Coincidentally, a few people recently died in the guard corps, leaving a few openings..."

Considering that Yorii Tsugikuni continuing to live in his home might affect his own quality of life, Caven ultimately decided to do them a small favor.

He arranged for the Imperial Capital Guard Corps to take in Yorii Tsugikuni, Sayo, and Ieyasu.

This way, once Yorii Tsugikuni and the others found their own formal jobs, they would naturally have to move out. His wife and beloved daughter could then continue searching for their favorite toys to bring home and play with happily.

Soon, the morning passed, and it was time for lunch.

Yorii Tsugikuni's teaching of Sayo and Ieyasu didn't cause much of a stir.

Only Sayo and Ieyasu could clearly feel the immense changes in Yorii Tsugikuni's body when he used his Breathing Techniques; others further away didn't feel much.

After all, he was a man who had lived for over eighty years, and Yorii Tsugikuni's control over his power was still very strong.

When demonstrating for Sayo and Ieyasu, he didn't cause any power leakage.

If the Aria family had personally felt the pressure and aura that Sayo and Ieyasu had previously felt from Yorii Tsugikuni, they probably would have rushed to cling to him without hesitation.

After all, anyone with even a little knowledge would understand that based on what Yorii Tsugikuni had casually displayed just now, his combat power was at least at the level of an Imperial Arms user.

"Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni, Miss Sayo, and Mr. Ieyasu."

"There are a few openings in the Imperial Capital Guard Corps, and the benefits are quite good."

Sitting at the dining table, Caven looked at Yorii Tsugikuni, who was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni's hometown is probably quite a distance from the Empire, and unfortunately, the Empire's borders have been in a state of war."

"The captain of the Imperial Capital Guard Corps, Mr. Oka, has a good relationship with me."

"If Mr. Yorii Tsugikuni doesn't mind, you can take Miss Sayo and Mr. Ieyasu to report for duty."

Caven got straight to the point and laid out his arrangements.
