SC1 6.2 – Visiting Tadaoka Household
After receiving my explanation on how to use the bath hut, Kato immediately said in amazement, “Sanno, do you truly built this bathroom by yourself?”
“I do,” I calmly replied.
“I have seen some luxury bathrooms, but nothing as good as this one. The basic concept is also very different but much better and practical.” Kato then turned her gaze to me before continuing, “Most of all, I never saw a compilation of mechanical runes that work so perfectly.”
“Don’t exaggerating it. Those are just simple runes.”
Kato instantly gave me a doubtful gaze. “Sanno, are you truly only a Level 1? You don’t use some trick to hide your level, do you?”
“I’m 100% a Level 1.” My reply didn’t dismiss the doubt in Kato’s eyes, so I immediately asked, “What is the common level of Rune Master?”
“Only Level 4-5 can take the exam for beginner Rune Master and join rune guild. After that, they can take the exam for the next level based on their achievement.”
“What is the next level after beginner Rune Master?”
“Intermediate, high, and grandmaster. Master Hisami once told me that in Arka Continent there are only five Rune Masters at grandmaster level. While here, in Marka Continent, the highest Rune Master is only at high level”
“I see.”
The classification system was not different from Blackwing, but the condition to participate the exam for beginner level Rune Master was different. In Blackwing, even Level 1 could attend the exam. Other than that, from how Kato was in awe with the runes I carved, it seemed there was a vast disparity in the standard to become a Rune Master.
“Sanno, after you reach Level 4 you should join a rune guild.”
“No thanks,” I flatly rejected Kato’s suggestion. “I just want to live peacefully as simple cook.”
Kato heaving a deep sigh before saying, “Wait until you see how vast and fascinating this world before deciding.”
Well, I’m sure what Kato saw was only a single drop in the lake compared to what I had seen. However, I didn’t try to explain it to her because most likely it would only make her think that I had some screw loose in my head.
“Let’s wait until I see it then,” I calmly said.
Of course, I would utilize any means I had in my disposal to gather money, including selling scrolls like rune master, but living peacefully was still my main goal. So, other than selling food and beverage, I would employ other means secretly and wouldn’t let Kato knew about it.

After heaving a deep breath I asked Kato another question, “How much Hisami paid for Yunno?”
“10.000 Monn.”
‘What the…’ I muttered as I tried to hide my shock.
That was unbelievably too cheap for a kid with Rain Dragon soul mark. If it was Blackwing, they wouldn’t have second thought to close the deal with a gold mine as main offer. Well, it made my plan cheaper so I shouldn’t complain about it.
“How much money do you have currently?”
“12.000 Monn.”
“Give me 10.000 Monn.”
“Wait,” Kato’s eyes widened as she gave me disbelieve look, “Earlier, when you said you want to buy Yunno’s little sister, did you mean you want to buy her using my money?”
“Yeah, right now I only have a little above 1000 Monn.”
“Technically, I’m your slave so my money and other belonging are yours,” Kato heaving a deep sigh before continuing, “but as a Level 1 who also good at rune art, how can you so poor?”
‘Can’t help it, I just started my life a few days ago,’ I sourly muttered before replying, “Well, I will start collecting money from now on.”
“Let’s robe a rich household in the nearby city,” Kato firmly suggested.
“Nope.”
“Why?”
“Let’s not attract unwanted attention.”
“Then, how will we buy essence cube to increase our level?”
“I plan to generate money from selling food and beverage.”
In an instant Kato looked at me as if I was an idiot. “Sanno, that will be too long. Here in Marka Continent, essence cube is 1200 Monn a piece, and you know a Level 1 will need 12-15 essence cubes to reach Level 2. Meanwhile, Yunno and Yui will need 6-8 essence cubes to reach Level 1, and the amount will kept doubling for each level.
Even if you have big and successful restaurant, it will need a decade before we reach Level 5 and have minimum strength to defend ourselves.”
“Just trust me.”
“Do I have other choice?”
“No.”
“Fine.,” Kato helplessly replied. “We will use your silly method and let’s see how far we can go.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
I happily smiled while Kato handed over her money. After that she took a bath and changing her clothes. Then, when she came out of the bathroom I got another shock. Kato’s appearance was exactly like Taka, the role that Koyuki Kato played in The Last Samurai.
She wore pale maroon yukata or informal kimono made of cheap fabric. It was pretty much yukata for woman from ordinary family. It just that under her yukata, Kato wore warrior shirt, warrior pant, along with warrior sock and gladiator sandal, but she tied the string inside her pant so at a glance it was no different than ordinary sandal. As for her long and jet black hair, she tied it behind her head in simple knot.
And speaking about The Last Samurai, it was the first movie where I watched Koyuki Kato’s play. I became her big fan after that. In summary, having someone who had appearance like her but younger and had slightly bigger boobs staying around me was a bliss.
“I don’t expect you are carrying ordinary clothes.”
“This was how I dressed when I was still a servant. Every time Master Hisami returned to Arka Continent, I would stay in a log house, dress like this, and lived like ordinary woman.”
“I see.”
“Do I look weird in these clothes?”
“No, it’s suits you very well.” I was genuinely captivated by Kato’s beauty as I continued, “You are very beautiful in this clothes.”
A small but beautiful smile bloomed in Kato’s lips before she asked, “Do you want to have a sex with me?”
‘Yeah sure, it’s been an age since the last time I have a wild 69. Let’s have it now.’
That was what I wanted to say. Honestly, I almost said it but managed to hold my dick at last second.
“Not now. Let’s complete our task first.”
“Okay,” Kato obediently replied.
Then, we separated our way. Kato would pick up Yunno from Red Oak and took her to the hut. To ease her task, she would tell Yunno that I and Warrior Deitoro sent her. As for me, I had to pick up Yui.
It was earlier than my initial timeline, but I decided that right now was the correct the time to separate Yunno and Yui from Tadaoka Household.
---
Under the darkness of the night I silently circled Tadaoka Household, just a dozen meter above the ground. Most of the rooms were quiet, while from Tanno’s room I heard a merry talk and cheerful giggle.
From the conversation between Tanno and his wife, I heard that Kazuyori butchered two chickens for today dinner. In an instant, I slightly adjusted my plan. Other than Yunno and Yui, I would also separating Bonnie-01 and her remaining sisters from Tadaoka Household.
I then landed in the beam of my room. Even from outside I could feel the atmosphere inside my room was bleak. When I peek inside, Yui was silently lying in my bed and hugging Yunno’s pillow. She already stopped her sobbing, but I could clearly saw her sorrow became several folds deeper compared to when I leaved her this morning.
Yui also ignored Yuko who lay next to her. She even refused when Yuko tried to hug her. The way she looked at Yuko also had greatly changed. Yui didn’t look at her with her cheerful eyes anymore. Now, it was just ordinary look like the one she usually gave to other member of Tadaoka Household.
Without delay I flew to the backyard and returned to human form. Then, I visited Tadaoka Household as Warrior Deitoro.
