I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

If you want to make a name for yourself in a place like the imperial capital, it's not something you can just talk about.

"I hope they can maintain their original intentions as much as possible. If they commit a serious crime..."

. . . . . .

"Has that young lady left yet?"

"Because I only have one gold coin, I only booked one room for a monthly subscription."

"Then Iyeas and I can sleep on the floor."

After returning from the counter, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi looked at Sau and the others sitting in the lobby, discussing what to eat, and smiled. He said, "But now it seems that we should open a few more rooms. Sau is a girl, and it's not good for her to live with boys."

Yoshikazu Tsugikoku saw the bag full of money next to Tatsumi.

Although most of them were copper coins, with only a small amount of silver coins and no gold coins at all, Ji Guoyuan estimated that there would be no problem in holding on until next month when the Imperial Capital Guard would pay their salaries.

"Hehe, actually I'm fine."

"But Master, I just calculated that we now have 700 copper coins and 15 silver coins."

After hearing what Tsugakugo Yuichi said, Sau smiled and said, "Finally, including the gold coin in Master's hand, we have almost ten gold coins."

"It's definitely enough to get us through to next month's paycheck."

"It just so happens that Tatsumi also wants to become your disciple, so the three of us should give you a more formal apprenticeship ceremony."

Before, because they really had no money and did not have the conditions, when they became apprentices, Shayu and Iyeas just bowed to Jiguo Yuanyi in a very casual manner.

Now that I have reconciled with Tatsumi and have some money, I naturally need to do what I need to do.

As a master, Yuichiro Tsugikuni may not understand or know this, but as disciples, Sau and Iyeas must do everything well.

After all, Tsugumi Yoshiichi was really teaching them the secret technique of breathing.

Just because of this, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is the most important person to Sau and Iyeas besides their biological parents.

"That's right, Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi!"

"I also want to be a disciple of Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, just like Sau and Iyeas!"

Tatsumi looked at Tsugikoku Yoriichi with anticipation.

Through the brief exchange just now and Iyeas's introduction, Tatsumi has already understood that Tsugikuni Yoriichi is a very, very powerful person, and he is also willing to pass on his secret skills to his apprentice.

Who wouldn’t like a master like this?

You know, normally it takes at least five years of doing odd jobs to become an apprentice, and only then will the master teach you some real skills. Even then, he is considered a very conscientious master.

There are more people who have been serving tea and water to their master for ten years but have not learned anything serious.

Tatsumi, Satsuya and Iyeas have been friends since childhood, so naturally he wouldn't think that Satsuya and Iyeas would deceive him. Tatsumi has complete trust in Satsuya and Iyeas.

"Grandpa is right after all."

'Although the world outside the village is very dangerous, it also has many opportunities.'

There was a gleam in Tatsumi's eyes as he looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

The only thing that made Tatsumi feel sorry was that because of the separation, he did not join the Imperial Capital Guard with Tsugakuni Yoriichi and the others, but then again.

If Tatsumi were here, there wouldn't be so many problems.

Chapter 18: Five Insurances and One Fund of the Imperial Guard

"Okay, okay, I'll teach you."

"You guys are being a little too serious."

Looking at Tatsumi who was kowtowing to him solemnly, Ji Guoyuan looked a little helpless.

Yuichiro Tsugakuni was still not quite used to the customs of Sayu, Iyeas and Tatsumi, or rather, Yuichiro Tsugakuni had not yet experienced the pain of wanting to seek skills but having no way to do so.

Jiguo Yuanyi has always been extremely generous in passing on the secret skills he created to others.

"Hey, these are what we should do."

"Master, let's get two more rooms. I'll take one, you'll take one, and Tatsumi and Iyas will take one."

Looking at the somewhat bewildered Tsugikoku Yuichi, Sayou said with a smile, "We have enough money now. It's definitely more than enough to get through to next month's salary."

"Once I get my salary from the Imperial Capital Guard next month, a lot of things will become easier."

Shayou began to plan the next step.

The Imperial Capital Guard can be said to be a stable job with generous treatment. Even for the grassroots members of the Imperial Capital Guard, the monthly salary reaches five gold coins.

Five gold coins is a very generous income even in today's inflationary world.

By then, the combined income of Shayu and Iyeas will be a full ten gold coins. Sending six gold coins back every month will be able to greatly alleviate the pressure on their hometown.

Although Tatsumi seems to have a lot of money on him, more than 700 copper coins are equivalent to seven gold coins, but 600 of them are living expenses donated by people in Sau and her hometown to Sau and others to make a living.

The remaining one hundred copper coins and a dozen silver coins were the income earned by Shayou and others during their journey to the imperial capital.

Considering the strength of Tatsumi, Sau and Iyeas, they only earned less than three gold coins in nearly a month. From this, we can see the temptation of the five gold coins monthly salary of the Imperial Capital Guard members to Sau and others.

If the strength levels are divided into super first-rate, first-rate, second-rate and third-rate, then the strength of Tatsumi and others is definitely above the third-rate, and they are not weak even among the second-rate.

For someone with such strength, the monthly income is only about one gold coin. From this, we can see how great the survival pressure is in the village of Tatsumi and others.

Of course, the cost of living in the capital is definitely not comparable to the cost of living in the countryside.

If a gold coin is only enough for a family of three to spend for a normal month in the imperial capital, then it is worth much more in the village of Tatsumi, Iyeas and Sau.

One gold coin is enough for a family of five to live on for at least three months, and there may even be some left over if they are frugal.

Moreover, five gold coins are only the basic salary for the members of the Imperial Capital Guard. People often bribe the members of the Imperial Capital Guard. If they are a little more relaxed, their monthly income can at least double.

If you want to go a little further, it's not impossible to double the amount again.

This was what Leona was worried about before. After all, Tatsumi, Iyeas and Sau were from the village and had never seen the world. They would easily be dyed in the colorful dye vat of the imperial capital.

“It’s really enviable.”

"Now, Sayou, Iyeas, and Master can take up their posts in the Imperial Capital Guard."

Looking at the Imperial Capital Guard uniforms in Sayu and Iyeas's arms, Tatsumi had envy written all over his face.

If possible, Tatsumi also wants to follow Sau and Iyeas to take up his post in the Imperial Capital Guard.

At this time, Tatsumi had already become very proficient in changing the way he addressed Yoriichi Tsugikuni from "Mr." to "Master."

"Hahahaha, Tatsumi, who told you to separate from us?"

"But it doesn't matter. From now on, you'll have me, Shayou, and Master to protect you in the imperial capital. There will definitely be no problem."

"By the way, I remember Miss Arya has guards at home."

Iyeas looked at Tatsumi and said with a sly smile, "Tatsumi, you are quite capable. You can go to Miss Arya's house and apply for a job. Maybe you can become Miss Arya's personal guard."

"Miss Arya is very beautiful."

As he spoke, Iyeas made an intoxicated expression in front of Tatsumi.

"Ah, really?"

Hearing Iyeas' words, Tatsumi showed a somewhat moved expression on his face.

Although it is a pity and regrettable that I cannot become a member of the Imperial Capital Guard, it seems that it would be great if I could become a personal bodyguard of a noble lady.

Now that Sayu and Iyeas have joined the Imperial Capital Guard, Tatsumi is not planning to join the army.

Besides, Tatsumi was unwilling to start as a soldier, so he might as well apply to be a guard of a noble.

Tatsumi felt that with his own strength, even if he could not become the captain of the guard team, it should not be a big problem for him to become a small captain.

Tatsumi decided to give it a try tomorrow after Sau, Iyeas, and Tsugumi Kuniichi took up their posts at the Imperial Capital Guard.

If that doesn't work out, finding an average job in the capital is also not bad.

It’s better to make less money.

Anyway, with Saya and Iyeas, Tatsumi doesn't have much pressure.

"Okay, now that I have enough money, I'll open two more rooms."

"After dinner, everyone come to my room and we'll continue studying."

Ji Guoyuan looked at Shayou and the others and smiled softly, saying, "Once you have mastered the breathing technique, everyone's strength should be greatly improved."

"By that time, it shouldn't be too difficult to stand out."

"It's just right. I just briefly explained the meaning of the breathing method to Sau and Iyeas this morning. Now Tatsumi is here too. I'll summarize it with you later."

Based on Yuichiro Tsugakuni's estimate.

Without completely mastering the state of full concentration and constant concentration, just mastering the basic breathing rhythm and temporary full concentration breathing method can probably increase the strength of Iyeas and others by about 2 to 4 times.

It is almost comparable to those pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps who have mastered the full concentration and palm realm.

He is less technically demanding, but has stronger basic physical fitness, so it's a 50-50 chance.

Among them, Yuichiro Tsugikuni is more optimistic about Sayu. Although she is not as good as Iyeas and Tatsumi in terms of innate physical comprehensive qualities, Sayu is obviously better in understanding.

Jiguo Yuanyi felt that in a week at most, Sau should be able to roughly learn how to breathe water.

Chapter 19: A simple dinner and a colleague to meet soon

"Then I'll leave it to you, teacher."

After hearing what Yuichiro Tsuchikuni said, Sau and the other two bowed to Yuichiro Tsuchikuni. In this difficult world, the three of them felt very lucky to have met a master like Yuichiro Tsuchikuni.

"Then I'll go buy dinner for everyone. Is there anything in particular that Master and everyone else would like to eat?"

Tatsumi touched his wallet. Although he had spent some of it on renting a house, the remaining money was still enough for them to not have to worry about food for the next period of time.

Before going out to buy food, Tatsumi looked at Tsugukuni Yuichi and the other two, as if he was not short of money.

of course.

Tatsumi is quite frugal when it comes to money.

After all, the reason they came out this time was to earn enough money and send it back to their hometown.

However, a few people got separated along the way, and after finally meeting again and becoming his disciples, they naturally had to have a good meal to celebrate.

"A rice ball, please."

Yoshiichi Tsugikuni saw that Sau and Iyeas were waiting for him to speak first, so he nodded slightly and told Tatsumi what he wanted to eat.

Nowadays, he always prefers light food.

"I want to eat Dorayaki, just one."

Sau stood next to Yoriichi Tsugakuni and pointed a finger at Tatsumi who had already walked to the door.

On the way back, she had already seen a stall selling Dorayaki on the side of the street.

In the village, this delicious pastry can only be tasted during grand festivals.

"Tatsumi, I'll go with you."

Iyeas stood up from the tatami where he was sitting cross-legged. He took Tatsumi's hand and swallowed his saliva. He seemed to have remembered something delicious. He turned around and smiled at Sau and Jiguoyuan and waved: "Master, Sau, we will be back soon."

The two of them quickly disappeared outside the hotel they were renting.

Dong Dong Dong...

The sound of hurried footsteps descending the stairs disappeared around the corner.

Young people are like the wind, they come quickly and go quickly.

"Let me clean up the room for Master."

Looking at the messy room, Sau frowned slightly and began to tidy up Yuichiro Tsugakuin's room.

In order to save money this time, the house they rented was not very good, and could even be described as simple.

There was basically nothing in the room except a bed and a small low table.

And there are spider webs vaguely in some hidden places.

"Let's go together. I don't have anything to do."
