Chapter 189: Yecheng: Am I Being Sponsored?
Chapter 189: Yecheng: Am I Being Sponsored?
"Well, I'm just a third-rate swordsman. I might not be qualified to be your swordsmanship tutor, Miss Hinanai..."
Before Yecheng could finish his words, Hinanai's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Why is that, Mr. Yecheng? Are you unwilling to be friends with Hinanai, or are you angry about her using such means to deceive you into coming here?"
The young lady had been eagerly anticipating today's meeting. She even put on makeup after a long time and secretly stayed up all night searching for tips online from her bed.
What should a girl wear on her first meeting with a boy she admires to leave a lasting impression?
And how should she introduce herself so that the other party doesn't feel out of place and remains interested?
In short, Hinanai had made considerable preparations for this "first" meeting, but she never expected the outcome to be like this.
"No, no, no, I don't mean anything else. I'm delighted to have a rich young lady as a friend.
But I'm afraid of trouble. If you want me to be a pure swordsmanship teacher, that's fine. But you're the daughter of a wealthy corporation..."
A beauty with a generous salary, if she knows nothing about him. Yecheng would have considered her a pure rich kid.
But now that she knows him, and this job is specially tailored for him, Yecheng begins to feel that such sweet talk may not be so easy to accept.
As mentioned earlier, the world's power level is too high, and Yecheng temporarily doesn't want to be involved in any power struggles and doesn't want to be anyone's lackey. That's why he's refusing Hinanai's request at this moment.
"Oh, I see. Then, Mr. Yecheng, you can rest assured. This time, wanting to hire you as my swordsmanship tutor is entirely my idea. It has nothing to do with my father or the corporation behind me."
"Mr. Yecheng, you only need to teach me swordsmanship. Besides that, I won't let you do any work outside of your job scope."
After hearing Yecheng's explanation, Hinanai finally understood his concerns, and her mood improved significantly. She quickly continued to speak.
"Just teach swordsmanship and completely ignore other matters? But even if that's the case..."
"Daily wage of 50,000 yen! And only one hour of teaching is required daily."
"Because the money to hire you, Mr. Yecheng, is my pocket money. So, I really can't give you more."
Yecheng: "(Д)" One hour of work, daily wage of 50,000 yen!
"Miss Hinanai, starting today, I'll be your swordsmanship teacher. My name is Yecheng. Please give me guidance!"
Seeing Yecheng extending his hand, Hinanai also extended her slender hand with a smile and said, "Then, starting today, please guide me as well, Teacher Yecheng."
Since this was Hinanai's first encounter with swordsmanship, Yecheng only explained some theories and basic knowledge during today's one-hour lesson.
And Hinanai, like an obedient student, listened intently to Yecheng's lecture while taking notes in a small notebook.
There was even a moment when Yecheng felt that the young lady in front of him resembled a certain housewife android from home.
When it was time to go home, Yecheng also received today's daily wage of 50,000 yen.
This was Yecheng's special request, as their household was running out of funds. He and Baldhead had been eating instant noodles for several days, and without any additional income, they might not even be able to afford instant noodles anymore.
As he walked home, looking at the wad of cash in his hand, Yecheng couldn't shake the surreal feeling.
He had just chatted for an hour, and he earned 50,000 yen? So, what was he striving for all this time?
Although Yecheng initially wanted to refuse the job, the offer was too good to turn down.
"This feels like I'm being kept as a kept man..."
Oh well, who cares? I'm not all talk; judging from Hinanai's earnest attitude, I might actually learn something.
If that's the case, her money isn't wasted. After all, Genos's apprenticeship fee was one million yen.
Thinking about Genos's apprenticeship and Hinanai hiring him as a tutor, Yecheng realized that being a teacher was indeed a job with a bright "financial future."
Unbeknownst to him, after he left Hinanai's villa, she resumed her work, and the small notebook she used to take notes now had a set of Yecheng's portrait sketches...
Yecheng thought Hinanai was attentively listening and recording his words, but in reality, she was observing him the entire time. Whether or not she absorbed the lesson, she had sketched a complete emoji pack of his portraits.
"Saitama, Genos, let's go out for eel rice bowls tonight. I'm sick of eating ramen every day."
Upon learning that Yecheng was not only hired but also had his daily wage increased from 30,000 yen to 50,000 yen, and his working hours reduced from three hours to one, Baldy's expression twisted in frustration.
Baldy even begged Yecheng to ask Hinanai if she needed other types of teachers. He, Saitama, could also teach her to become stronger, and he'd charge less!
"Didn't you see her job requirements? White-haired individuals are given priority.
Regardless of whether it's white hair or not, do you even have hair? Undeniably, you are strong, but what can you teach her? Will you teach her sit-ups or push-ups, making that aristocrat go bald like you?"
Facing Yecheng's ruthless mocking, Baldy finally lost his temper and lashed out at Yecheng, who didn't back down. Soon, they were wrestling again.
Just as Yecheng felt he was about to be at a disadvantage, he quickly unleashed his trump card, "Baldy, if you don't stop acting so arrogantly, you'll be eating ramen alone tonight while Genos and I go for eel rice bowls."
Hearing Yecheng's shameless threat, Baldy was seething but ultimately chose to stop. He prepared to feast later, determined to make Yecheng pay dearly for the meal.
"So, that Hinanai you mentioned, the aristocrat you saved at the supermarket, has been looking for you ever since?" Saitama asked, his mouth full of eel rice.
"Yeah, I saved her at the supermarket... Ugh, Baldy, can you finish what's in your mouth before speaking?"
