I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Time goes back to the time when Ogata and the others received Konnosuke's hospitality and were about to spend the night in Konnosuke's mansion——

According to Konnosuke - he originally had a wife and a child.

His wife died of illness almost 5 years ago, and his son became a cannibal almost half a year ago.

The white-haired man gave away the black-haired man's Konnosuke, and in the huge mansion there was only one maid who had worked in their house for many years to accompany him—that is, after being questioned by A-Machi in the storage room The maid who knocked unconscious directly.

As for the maid who was brutally beaten unconscious by Atachi, she woke up leisurely not long after Konnosuke led Ogata, Mamiya and his party back to the mansion.

After waking up, I learned from Konnosuke that the person who knocked me out will stay here temporarily tonight, and almost passed out again...

...

...

"Master Ogata, Miss Atachi."

Kinnosuke opened the paper sliding door of an empty room on the third floor, and said to Ogata and A-machi behind them.

"You two can sleep here tonight."

"This room was originally my son's room."

Speaking of this, a touch of memory and sadness appeared on Konnosuke's face.

"Although this room has not been occupied for a while, I have always asked the maid to clean the room, so the room is still clean."

"The quilts for the two of you, I will send the maid over later."

"Let us sleep in your son's room..." Ogata's face showed hesitation, "Would it be... a little bad? This room carries many memories about your son. This room is very important to you. It should be an important room, right?"

"Hahaha." Konnosuke laughed heartily a few times, "Don't worry, a room is just a room, and the function of a room is to let people live in it."

Kinnosuke raised his hand and tapped his forehead.

"All the memories of my son, I have all stored here. It doesn't matter what this room is like."

"Have a good night's rest in this room. I'm quite happy to make this long-abandoned room play a role again."

"Then——I'll ask the maid to bring the bedding, and I'll take my leave first."

After all, Konnosuke exited the room without any hesitation and closed the sliding door.

In the huge room, only Ogata and Atachi were left.

Ogata looked around.

Because this room was originally the room of Konnosuke's only son, it can be called outstanding in terms of size and luxury.

All kinds of furniture are available, and there is a screen placed in the corner as decoration.

There is also a window in this room.

An indistinct wailing sound was constantly entering the room through the wide open window.

Ogata walked slowly to the window, and followed the howls one after another.

The person who uttered these howls one after another was Soutaro, who had been tied to a wooden post by the villagers at this time.

Le Ping, the village doctor in Fenghe Village, simply bandaged the wound on Sotaro's broken arm.

The villagers who waited until the end of Sotaro's treatment immediately couldn't wait to tie Sotaro tightly to a wooden post specially prepared for him, and then frantically beat him with sticks or fists.

Sotaro and others have been doing so-called "borrowing rice" from them, and kidnapped 4 young people from their village. One of the young people has been poisoned by them. If the other 3 young people were not rescued by Ogata today, they would have died. I am afraid that in the future, there will be more bad luck than good luck.

Although Fenghe Village is self-enclosed with wooden walls, occasionally some young people are sent out to pick wild vegetables on weekdays to ease the food pressure inside the wall.

These four youths were accidentally caught by Sotaro and the others when they went out to pick wild vegetables. As a result, the villagers in Fenghe Village dared not even go out of the wooden wall, and the villagers could not even eat wild vegetables.

All in all - Sotaro and his gang have committed countless crimes against the villagers of Fenghe Village.

None of the villagers in Fenghe Village hated Sotaro and his gang.

This usually extremely arrogant and arrogant guy has now fallen into their hands - they naturally want to "entertain" this guy well.

This year, everyone inside the wooden wall has been quite depressed.

Now that there is Sotaro as a channel to vent his pressure, almost all the villagers came to "warmly greet" Sotaro.

Until now, Sotaro, who has been beaten into a pig's head, is still receiving the "warm hospitality" from the villagers.

Konnosuke's mansion is some distance away from the wooden pillar that is binding Sotaro, even so, Ogata can still hear Sotaro's screams - one can imagine how enthusiastic the villagers are.

After a cursory glance at Sotaro outside, Obi turned his gaze away and looked at Machi who was taking off his socks inside the room.

A-Machi didn't seem to like wearing socks very much, and she would definitely take them off whenever she had the chance.

"...What are you doing?" After taking off the socks on both feet, A-Machi cast a helpless look at Ogata who had been staring at her from just now, "I just took off a foot bag, and You're not taking off your clothes, why do you keep looking at me like this?"

"...Amachi, let me tell you..." Ogata sighed softly, "It's time for you to pull yourself together, right?"

"Since that Soutaro appeared until now, you have always looked depressed."

Speaking of this, Ogata suddenly paused.

Because he suddenly recalled what Soutaro said to A-cho before...

"Machi..." Ogata said softly, "Is it because what that Soutaro said to you made you unhappy...?"

"...It's sort of like that."

A-Machi, who was sitting on the tatami, put his legs up and hugged his own.

"That Soutaro said that I was a useless ninja of no rank..."

"Although I hate this name very much, but... I have to admit that this name is actually not wrong..."

"Ayi... We two have been acting together for so many days, you should have already vaguely realized it..."

"I... am not a very good ninja... Not only am I not very good, but I can also be described as very weak and not up to standard... I don't even have the basic quality that a ninja should have—abandoning shame."

"If it were other ninjas, when they encountered the situation of urinating and escaping the ogre's pursuit the day before yesterday, they would definitely run and urinate without hesitation..."

"But I can't get rid of that face to do this kind of thing... In the end, I made a joke that pissed on your back..."

"You're also stupid... You obviously got quite a bit of information at the same time as you, but you discovered early on that there was something wrong with Zong Hai and the water in the Linong River."

"But I was so stupid that I didn't notice any clues..."

"The ability is not good... I don't have any of the four Shiranui ninjutsu skills, except Jujitsu, which is passable..."
