I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 The next day, early morning——

　　 Hirose Clan, Ryuya——

　　 There are two floors in the ryuya. The first floor is the izakaya where Asaki and the others live, and the second floor is where they live.

　　Fu, who just got up from the bed, saw A Saki lying between the desks, painting something.

　　 "Miss Asaki..." Asaki walked towards Asaki, and asked at Asaki, "What are you writing?"

After pressing the front chest against Asaki’s back and pressing his chin on Asaki’s right shoulder, so that his eyes can pass over Asaki’s back and shoulders, Afu discovered that-Asaki was not writing anything. .

　　 is drawing a picture.

　　 Although Asaki's painting skills are not very good, Afu can barely recognize that Asaki is drawing a young samurai with double swords in his waist and a head hair.

　　 "I'm painting Lord Ogata." Asaki said, "With the portrait of Lord Ogata, it should be easier to find him..."

　　 A Saki's simple sentence immediately made the atmosphere of the whole room heavy.

　　 Afu lowered his eyes: "Where did Master Ogata go..."

　　 1 month ago, not long after Ogata "disappeared", Asaki and Afu learned an amazing news: There was an accident at the Sakihara sword museum where Ogata usually practiced swords.

　　Although the incident was blocked by news, Asaki and the others still learned from various channels that the masters and apprentices of Sakura Sword Museum were massacred for unknown reasons...

　　 This news undoubtedly made Asaki and the others more uneasy...

　　 But it is worth making Asaki and the others feel fortunate-Ogata should be still alive. But I just don't know where he went

　　Because Ogata sent them a farewell letter to Ryuya after the accident at Sakura Sakura.

"All right!"

　　 Asaki dried all the ink on the paper, then raised the paper in his hand and looked up and down several times with satisfaction.

　　 "Afu! What do you think of my painting?"

　　 "Well... it's okay..." Ah Fu almost squeezed out all the words in this sentence from between the teeth.

　　 After all, this picture that Asaki drew, except for the three points of wearing a saber at the waist, keeping the total hair, and a well-proportioned figure, is commensurate with Ogata. Nothing is similar to Ogata...

　　 Looking at the portrait that Asaki had done so hard to draw, Ah Fu pursed his lips.

　　 "Ms. Asaki...If we can't find Master Ogata...what should we do?"

　　 "Of course I keep searching." Asaki said without hesitation, "No matter how long it takes, we will keep searching."

　　 "Master Ogata is the only samurai willing to help us."

　　 A faint memory of memories appeared on Asaki's face.

　　 "Before Ogata-sama appeared, I looked for countless samurai... I hope these samurai can help us guard the stream house."

　　 "But each of these samurai is extremely arrogant."

　　 "Everyone dislikes my ryuya is just a small and broken izakaya. Guarding such a ryuya will damage their status as a samurai. They would rather go to some casinos to be thugs than come to our ryuya."

　　 "Only Ogata-sama is willing to come."

　　 "And only Ogata-sama does not have the air of a samurai, and will not discriminate against us because of our civilian status."

　　 "His character alone is worth my effort to get him back."

　　 "What's more-he is kind to us."

　　 Asaki smiled and looked at Ah Fu.

　　 "At that time, after the people from Ishikawa Sword Museum came to us for trouble, Master Ogata went to the Ishikawa Sword Museum alone and beat many of the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Museum to help us out."

　　 "Just because Ogata-sama helped us out, we have to repay Ogata-kun well. Fu, are you right?"

　　 "Yeah!" After listening to what Asaki had just said, the cloud that was originally dense on Ah Fu's face gradually disappeared, and a bright smile gradually hung on Ah Fu's cheek.

at this time--

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

　　 An unfamiliar male voice suddenly sounded outside the gate on the first floor.

　　 Hearing this male voice, Asaki and Afu both frowned.

　　 "Who is it..." Asaki muttered, he got up and walked towards the first floor.

　　 The genius is just bright now.

　　 Asaki has been running Ryuya for so many years, and it was the first time that Asaki came across this kind of thing as a guest came to visit at dawn.

　　 slowly opened the door of the Liu House.

　　 Standing outside the gate of the stream house is a young samurai with a clean shaved head, wearing decent clothing and two swords in his waist.

　　 After seeing Asaki, the young samurai immediately asked Asaki:

　　 "Excuse me-are you Miss Asaki?"

　　 "Well, I am..." Asaki promises-he never knows this person, "May I ask you who?"

　　 "I'm here to give you something."

　　 After all, the young samurai took a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Asaki.

　　 After taking the small cloth bag from the hand of the young samurai with full of doubts, a familiar sound and touch passed from the cloth bag to Asaki's palm.

　　 "This is...?!" Asaki's eyes widened.

　　 Asaki hurriedly opened the small cloth bag.

　　 As expected-there is a large sum of money inside.

"This is Ogata Ishi-kun please me to give it to you." The young Bushido said, "He also asked me to bring you a sentence-use the money to buy a new Wufu for Afu, and hire a A more reliable samurai than him."

　　 "Then-farewell next~www.ltnovel.com~ The samurai who successfully completed the two tasks of sending money and giving talks turned around and wanted to leave.

　　 However—he just turned around, Asaki and Afu rushed to him and opened their arms.

　　 "Wait a minute! You just said that Ogata-sama gave us the money?" Asaki said anxiously, "I'll ask you—where is Ogata-sama?"

"One step..." The young samurai smiled bitterly, "You are embarrassing me... I don't know where Isei-kun Ogata is now... I'm just a person who comes to give money and talk... "

　　 The young samurai did not lie.

　　 He does not know where Ogata is now.

　　 Kuranaga gave Ogata and others a large sum of money.

　　 These money can be regarded as a family allowance and...comfort for Ogata and others.

　　 Ogata is unaccompanied, and the master and his brothers have also fallen asleep. Now the only people in this world who can be regarded as Ogata’s relatives and friends are Asaki and Afu.

　　 So, Ogata asked Kurunaga to arrange someone to help him send the money to the stream room, and help him bring a word for Asaki and the others.

　　 While the young samurai entrusted by Ogata was entangled by Asaki and Afu, Ogata was in the graveyard in the backyard of Genshinji Temple.

　　 Together with Kuranaga and other loyalists, burn incense in front of a new tombstone in the cemetery of Xuanzhen Temple.

　　 "Please rest in peace..." The last one, Kurunaga, closed his eyes tightly and folded his hands together.

　　 And Ogata and others, standing behind Kuranaga, folded their hands together and muttered, "Please rest in peace."

　　 Under this new tombstone, the poor women of Miaochang Temple who were tragically poisoned by the source of Matsudaira are buried.
