I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 372 Just because Shuntaro took a second look at Ogata 【6000 words】

Before Guasheng and Ishida clashed...

...

...

Following the process of seeing the world sent by the master of wind chimes to the former plum house... To give a vivid example, it is like being a thief.

First, he sneaked to an inconspicuous small back door of Jianmei House.

After passing through the small back door, bypass the winding corridors and stairs.

Before entering Umeya, in order not to attract attention, Ogata had already taken off the club haori on him.

Because the leader, Miseban, walked through the corridors that few people would pass by, Ogata didn't meet many people on the way to the oiran's room.

The few people I met by chance also passed Ogata quickly, without casting doubtful or curious glances at Ogata.

They must have thought of Ogata only as a guest on their way to the room of a wandering girl led by Miseiban.

In fact, if these passers-by think so, it is not wrong.

Ogata was indeed heading to the room of a certain wandering girl right now.

It's just that that girl is the top girl in Yoshihara right now.

Under the guidance of Mishiban, Ogata finally stopped in front of two sliding paper doors that were closed together.

Ogata looked up and down the two sliding paper doors in front of him several times.

What is painted on the front of the paper sliding door is a landscape painting.

Although he didn't know much about calligraphy and painting, Ogata also instinctively felt that the artist who drew this landscape painting must be extremely skilled.

"The Taifu is waiting for you inside right now. The Taifu has ordered: When you come, you just need to pull the door and go in." Jian Shifan rushed to Xufang softly, "Then—— I will excuse you first gone."

After bowing to Ogata, this Mishiban quickly left Ogata's side.

Since the Taifu had ordered that he could open the door and enter without any greetings, Ogata raised his hand and slowly opened the door in front of him without hesitation.

Dazzling candlelight leaked through the opened door into the slightly dim corridor where Ogata was standing now.

After opening the sliding paper door, the first thing Ogata saw was Taifu Fuchi who was sitting in the corner of the room.

The Taifu Fengling at this time is quite different from the Taifu Fengling I saw in Liuwu during the day.

Today's Fuling Taifu only wore light makeup, no hairstyle, loose hair, and only an ordinary kimono.

But the current Fuling Taifu still only wears light makeup, but his hair is well combed into a bun, and he is wearing a gorgeous bright red kimono.

Ogata also has little research on women's clothes.

For the bright red kimono that Taifu Furin is wearing now, the only adjectives Ogata can think of are good-looking and - it looks so expensive...

Taifu Fengchi, who was kneeling in a corner of the room, was playing with a small spinning top.

Seeing Ogata sliding the door and coming in, Taifu Fengling immediately showed a faint smile, put the spinning top in his hand aside, and stretched out his hand to point in front of him.

"Mashima-kun, please sit down."

While closing the door and walking slowly in front of Mrs. Fengling, Ogata moved his gaze to look around the room.

Taifu Fengchi's room is nothing special.

Ogata originally thought that being the top-notch girl in Yoshiwara, Taifu Fuling's room would be as resplendent and luxurious as a palace.

However, Ogata didn't expect Taifu Fengling's room to be much simpler than he imagined.

There are two places in Taifu's room that caught Ogata's attention.

One is a very spacious table case placed on one side of the room.

On this table is a large mirror, combs, eyebrow pencils, and a large number of cosmetics of this era that Ogata can't name.

The other is another table on the other side of the room.

The things placed on this table are very simple-only books are placed.

Now there is a book being spread out on this table.

The pages of the books placed on this table are basically in a damaged state, and only when they are frequently flipped through will the pages appear in such a damaged state.

Kneeling in front of Taifu Fengling, Ogata immediately asked the question that he had been pondering on the way to Taifu's room:

"Teacher, what can I do for you?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to thank you face to face."

At this time, the Taifu didn't use "profile words" or honorific words, but spoke to Ogata in a normal tone.

A large tour profile like Yoshihara contains a large number of tour girls from all over Japan.

In order to hide their local accent, the wandering girls invented a special accent, that is, profile words.

The most notable feature of this kind of accent dedicated to wandering girls is that when they speak, they always add a sentence at the end of the sentence: "ありんす". (pronunciation: arinsu)

The transliteration in Chinese is "Alins".

Because Taifu didn't use pronouns or honorifics at this time, the atmosphere between her and Ogata became less formal and more natural.

"Thank me?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "Did I do anything for you that deserves your gratitude?"

"Yes, of course. It's in today's lingering house."

Although Taifu Fengchi reminded him, Ogata was still at a loss.

Seeing that Ogata still hadn't realized what he had done, Mr. Fengling no longer kept his secrets, and after showing a smile with a more curved corner of his mouth, he said:

"I hate Takigawa Heiichiro the most."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Fengling slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows.

"I hate the kind of person who can only talk nicely, but actually can't do anything serious."

"Takigawa Heiichiro happens to be such a person."

"That's all he is."

"It still bugs me."

A wry smile appeared on Taifu Fengchi's face.

"I have told him many times, both openly and secretly, that I don't have that kind of meaning for him anymore. He is still trying his best to curry favor with me."

"Mashima-kun, thanks to you, I saw an interesting expression from Takikawa today."

"I've been in a better mood because of this. Thank you for letting me see a scene I've always wanted to see."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Fengling leaned over and saluted Ogata.

Ogata who didn't expect Taifu Fengling to call him here specially for this matter showed a helpless smile, then returned the salute and said:

"Teacher, you don't need to thank me in person for such a trivial matter."

Mrs. Wind Chime shook her head lightly:

"Although that Takigawa is quite an annoying guy, his thesis and martial arts are indeed impeccable."

"It's too hard to see him deflated."

"You let me see the picture I've always wanted to see, so it's only right to thank you in person."

"Here, this is for you."

Taifu Fengchi took out a small disk-shaped object from his arms, and handed it to Ogata.

"This is?" Ogata took the thing from the Taifu with a puzzled expression.

"This is the 'Sasaise Red' lipstick you asked me about today." Mrs. Fengling raised her hand and tapped her lips, which are currently being painted in Sasaise Red, "It's the one I specialize in, and this one will be used as a lip balm." You let me see a good scene as a thank you gift."

Hearing Taifu Fengling's words, Ogata immediately widened his eyes in astonishment.

"That... can I open it and have a look?"

"Please."

Ogata opened the small round iron box in his hand.

I saw that what was in the box was exactly the same color lipstick Taifu Fengling was rubbing on his lips now.

And it looks like this box of "Sasa Sehong" has never been used.

Ogata still remembers Taifu Fengling and what he said about the price of Sasa-colored red that Taifu used for her...

"Teacher, this thank you gift is too precious." Ogata said hastily, "I have received your thank you, but please take back this thank you gift."

"Accept it with peace of mind. This sasase red is nothing to me. I can't use it up myself. It's okay to give you some."

Speaking of this, Taifu Fengling showed a meaningful smile.

"If my guess is correct, Mashima-kun, you should also need this 'Sasairo Red', right?"

"I still remember what you said in the retention room today."

"When you asked me what lip balm I was wearing, I asked you if you were interested in lip balm."

"You tell me: 'I just saw your lip balm, Taifu, and suddenly thought that if a girl who means a lot to me wears the same lip balm as you, maybe it will look good That's all'."

Taifu Fengling imitated Ogata's tone and tone, and repeated what Ogata said in Liuya today.

"It can make a warrior like you care about a woman's lip balm. It seems that girl really means a lot to you."

"Is that girl who means a lot to you your wife?"

"Hmm...well." Ogata said softly, "She and I are indeed a real couple now."

"Then you give this Sasairo to your wife."

The smile on Taifu Fengling's face gradually became gentle.

"I think your wife should be very happy after receiving this sasase red."

"To me, this Sasa-color red is just an insignificant gadget."

"So don't be embarrassed to accept the gift because you think it's expensive."

"Accept it with peace of mind."

After listening to Mrs. Fengling's words, Ogata lowered his eyes to look at the sasa red in his hand for a long time.

After a few hesitation flashed in his eyes, Ogata nodded.

"Then... I will accept it. Taifu, thank you for your gift."

"As I said just now, this is just a thank you gift for letting me see a good scene today, so you don't need to thank me."

As soon as Ogata took the Sasaki red gifted by Taifu Fengchi into his arms, he suddenly heard some strange noises outside the window facing the street outside.

"What's going on?" After slightly frowning, Ogata walked quickly to the window where the strange noise came from.

If people outside the street find out that there is a man in the Taifu's room now, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

So when he opened the window, Ogata deliberately only pulled the window out a small gap, which was barely enough for Ogata to see the situation outside.

After opening the window, Ogata finally saw where the strange noise came from.

Ogata, Fuling Taifu and the others seemed to be making trouble on the street directly opposite to Jianmei House where they were now.

The troublemaker seemed to be the middle-aged samurai who was carrying a spear.

In front of this middle-aged samurai, Ogata also saw his acquaintance - Guasheng.

Gua Sheng was negotiating something with this middle-aged warrior, but because of the distance, Ogata couldn't hear clearly.

Although the purpose of coming to the Shirobei clubhouse is not pure, but he is also one of the members of the club now. After seeing someone making trouble in Yoshiwara, Ogata can't pretend that he didn't see it no matter what.

"Teacher." Ogata closed the window again, and then said seriously to Taifu Fengling, "It seems that someone is making trouble outside. I will take my leave first."

"En." Mrs. Fengling nodded lightly.

The purpose of Taifu Fengling to let Ogata come over is to thank Ogata and entrust this thank you gift.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Taifu Fengling has no reason to keep Ogata.

"Do you remember the way to leave Jianmei House?"

"Remember."

"That's good." Taifu Fengling slowly showed a charming smile, "Let's have a good chat next time we have a chance."

"Yeah." Ogata smiled, "I will."

After finishing speaking, Xu conveniently mentioned his Da Shitian, and left Taifu Fengling's room like a gust of wind.

...

...

Jianmeiya is one of the only "daijianshi"-level girls' houses in Yoshiwara, and its size and scale are far superior to ordinary girls' houses.

In terms of the number of floors alone, Jianmei House has 4 floors.

And Taifu Fengling's room happened to be on the top floor.

Although he had arrived at the scene of the trouble at the highest speed he could, it seemed that he was a bit late.

When Ogata rushed to the scene of the trouble, Gua Sheng had already had a fight with the troublemaker who was holding a long gun.

Ogata originally thought that this dispute should end here.

However, I didn't expect that the troublemaker was actually a guy who was obsessed with competing with others.

After seeing Ogata, he involuntarily asked Ogata to compete with him.

Ogata didn't really want to waste time competing with this guy.

After all, he hasn't forgotten his business in Yoshiwara - monitoring and trying to get some useful information from Ji Taro.

However, this guy is not an easy person to dismiss...

In desperation, Ogata could only pull out his Da Shitian...

...

...

After Ogata rushed to help, Taifu Fengchi opened the window facing the troubled place to check the movement outside.

Just when he saw Ogata pull out the sword from his waist and hold it with one hand, facing the middle-aged samurai with a long spear, Taifu Fengling suddenly heard a few abnormal noises from the ceiling above his head.

After looking up at the ceiling above his head, a look of doubt appeared on Taifu Fengling's face.

Click.

A piece of the ceiling in the room has been removed.

A black shadow ran down the removed ceiling, and landed steadily on the tatami.

"Yo~~ Ah Chang, I'm here to see you."

This dark shadow is none other than Shuntaro.

"Why are you here?" Taifu Fuchi, who was a little startled by the sudden appearance of Shuntaro, frowned slightly, "And why are you coming from the ceiling this time?"

"I've been free recently." Shuntaro stretched his waist, "So I might bother you a lot during this time."

"Because I entered your room by climbing the window last night, so I plan to change a new method to enter your room today."

"Are you free now? Play flower cards with me to pass the time."

"Let's talk about it later." Taifu Fengling turned his gaze out of the window again.

"What are you looking at?"

"There are warriors making trouble outside."

"Oh! This, I saw it when I entered the plum house just now."

While talking, Shuntaro walked slowly towards the window.

However, before he reached the window, Taifu Fengling scolded him angrily:

"If you want to watch the excitement, you should change the place first."

"If someone sees me standing by the window with a man, it will take me a lot of effort to explain."

"What, it's so ruthless." Shuntaro said in a casual tone, "When we were on the bank of the Rashomon River, we always went to catch butterflies together, but now we can't even watch the fun side by side, it's really difficult Material."

Although he said so, Shuntaro obediently climbed back to the top of the ceiling.

Shuntaro passed through the ceiling and climbed up to the roof of Mimeiya in one breath.

Under the cover of night, he lay on the roof tiles of Mime House, watching the scene on the street.

Looking at Ogata who was holding a knife in one hand, the curiosity in Shuntaro's eyes gradually became stronger.

...

...

Ogata just said that the reason why he uses a single-handed sword is because he is afraid that he may not be able to control the strength with two swords-this is not joking or bluffing.

This is totally telling the truth.

Ogata's current power has reached 14 points.

This kind of strength, coupled with his current "advanced" or "master level" sword skills, it is impossible for a warrior with average power to parry.

The person on the opposite side who was using the Treasure Institute's Spear Technique didn't seem to want to make a fuss, and didn't even take off the holster of the gun.

And Ogata didn't want to make this dispute worse, so while fighting the enemy with the back of the sword, he only held the sword with one hand.

For this competition, if Ogata said that he has no interest at all, then he is not.

Although he has faced quite a few masters who use long weapons so far, this is the first time Ogata has encountered an opponent who uses the famous spear technique of Hozoin-style spear technique.

Baozangyuan Liuqiangshu is a genre created by Yin Rong, a monk in the Warring States Period more than 200 years ago.

The monk named Yin Rong is also a legend.

He once studied swordsmanship under the command of the "Sword Master" - Kamizumi Ise Shouxin Tsuna with the "Great Swordsman" Yagyu Tamaru.

The various legends about Yinrong can be said to be endless for three days and three nights.

The Baozangyuan style spear technique created by him is also constantly shining because of its strong practicality.

Up to now, Hozoin-style spear art is considered to be the most famous school of spear art in Japan.

If it is said that Ogata does not want to compete with someone who uses this famous spear technique, it must be a lie.

After confronting Ishida for a while, Ishida, who had been unable to find Ogata's flaw for a long time, took the lead in launching the first attack.

The tip of the gun that Ishida swung was probably too fast.

But for Ogata—this is only the extent that the eyes can see even without the boost of "Breath of the Source".

Aiming at the tip of the gun that was approaching him rapidly, Ogata used Sakakibara's one-shot Mizuro.

With just one hand, he flicked away Ishida's gun head.

After flicking off the tip of Ishida's gun, he quickly rushed to Ishida's front, and then put Da Shitian on his neck.

...

...

"Ok?"

After seeing Ogata deflecting Ishida's spear with just one hand, Shuntaro, who was lying on the roof of Mimeya watching the excitement, raised his eyebrows suddenly.

In the eyes cast on Ogata, there was a lot of seriousness in an instant.

"One hand can parry that kind of attack...and it seems that this person seems to have experience in fighting long weapons..."

Shuntaro murmured softly at a volume that only he could hear clearly.

"This person... is really amazing..."

Looking at Ogata who had already put Da Shitian on Ishida's neck at this time, Shuntaro's eyes showed a little...a different look.

...

...

After experiencing the battle with the "demon monk" Yichun on Butterfly Island, no matter who the Ogata is facing with a long weapon, he will not feel pressured by the difference in attack distance—anyway, Big, not bigger than the difference in attack distance between him and the "demon monk".

After placing Da Shitian on Ishida's neck, a crisp system prompt sounded in Ogata's mind:

【Ding! Defeat the enemy with Sakakibara Ichidou Ryu-Waterfall]

[Gain 100 personal experience points and 90 experience points for swordsmanship "Sakakibara Ichidou\
