I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

I was a swordsman in ancient Japan Volume 1 The life of a samurai from scratch Chapter 440 The state of no self + the state of Yasha =? [9600 characters] Edo, Yoshihara, see Umeya—

　　 "Do you want to see the husband?"

　　 Seeing Umeya’s owner, looking up and down in front of Ogata.

　　'S eyes are full of doubts without any disguise.

　　 "Yeah." Ogata nodded, "I'm "Majima Goro", a former member of the Shiro Bingbei Club. I am leaving Edo because of something and no longer work at the Shiro Bingbei Club."

　　 "During the time I worked at the Shiro Bingbei Club, I had received a lot of help from the Taifu."

　　 "So before I leave, I want to visit the husband and express my gratitude to him."

　　 Just now, after saying goodbye to Shiro Biebe and others, after leaving the clubhouse, Okinawa rushed to the Mimeya in Yoshihara.

　　 After entering the Mei Ume House, Okini bluntly stated his identity as the "former member of the club," and bluntly said that he wanted to see Tai Fu Feng Chime.

　　Because Ogata said he was "the original servant of the clubhouse", the staff who met Umeya didn't dare to neglect Ogata, so they invited the owner of Umeya.

　　 The wife had just been abducted a few days ago, so when the owner of the plum house learned that someone had come to look for the husband, he immediately became nervous.

　　 The name of "Mashima Goro" is naturally heard by the owner of Umeya.

　　After Ogata’s voice fell, the hand-off behind the owner, the middle-aged woman who was responsible for taking care of the wandering girls, let out a low exclamation, saying:

　　 "My boss, I know him, he is indeed Goro Mashima."

　　 This dispatcher probably met Ogata, who was famous in the Shiro Bingbei Club, some time ago, so he recognized Ogata's face.

　　 After his subordinates also personally said that this person is Goro Mashima, the suspicion in the eyes of the owner is slightly reduced.

　　 "...you wait a moment." The owner said after a moment of silence, "I'll ask the husband. See if the husband would like to see you."

　　 After that, the owner quickly walked away from Ogata, ran to the stairs not far away, and rushed to the upper floor.

　　 It didn't take long for the owner to return to Ogata's eyes.

　　 "Mashima-sama, come with me." The host said.

　　 Ogata followed behind the owner's house, slowly climbed to the top floor of Mimeya, and then came to a gorgeous paper sliding door.

　　 "The husband is in the room." The host said, "You can go in directly."

After 　　Oo bowed to the owner to express his gratitude, he slowly opened the paper sliding door in front of him and walked into the room.

　　 Before Ogata came to Yoshihara to work on the first night, he was invited by the husband and visited his room once.

　　 The layout of the husband’s room is exactly the same as when I visited the husband’s room last time-just as simple.

　　As soon as he entered the room, Ogata saw Taifu who was kneeling and sitting by the window.

　　 Taifu was holding a book in his hands, and he seemed to be reading a book just now.

　　 At this time, the Taifu has long hair scattered and is wearing a big red kimono.

　　 After Ogata entered the room, Taifu turned his head and cast his complicated eyes on Ogata.

　　 Ogata knelt down beside Taifu, and placed Dashaten on the tatami mat on the right.

　　 "Tao Fu." Ogata smiled. "It's been a long time."

　　 "Well, it's been a long time." Looking at Ogata, who was close at hand, the complex color in Taifu's eyes became more intense.

　　 After looking up and down Ogata several times with this complicated gaze, Taifu said with emotion:

　　 "I didn't expect it... A living legend was in Yoshiwara, right in front of me... I even talked to this living legend and gave him lipstick..."

　　 Earlier, when Ogata and Shintaro faced off, Taio recognized Ogata Goro as Ogata Ishie based on Ogata’s voice and a sword.

　　 After successfully rescuing Taifu from Shiranui, Ogata knew that Taifu already knew about "Mashima is Ogata", so he only smiled at what Taifu said, and then whispered:

　　 "Tafu, I am leaving Edo because of some things. I should be leaving for a long time."

　　 "So I'm here to say goodbye to you."

　　 Taio is also one of the friends Ogata made after coming to Yoshihara. Although the relationship is not particularly close, Ogata has indeed been taken care of by the Taio during the period of time lurking in Yoshiwara.

　　The box of lip cream gifted to him by Taifu is still being used by Amachi very cherished, so Ogata feels that he should come and be alone with Taifu.

　　 "Are you leaving Edo?" A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the husband.

　　 "Hmm." Ogata nodded, "I will leave in a few days."

　　 "Before I leave, I want to meet those who need to go to each other one by one."

"and so-"

　　 Ogata's words changed.

　　 "Teifu, tell me Shuntaro... No, tell me where Fifty or Six is."

　　 Ogata's voice fell, and the Taifu was taken aback first.

　　 Then a faint bitter smile appeared on his face.

　　 "At the beginning, when you told me that Wu or Liu had escaped by himself, I knew you were lying." Ogata whispered, "I was the one who attacked Wu or Liu at the time."

　　 "So I know very well-the situation at the time of May and Sixth, I can't even stand up, there is no such ability to escape again."

　　 "You must know where Wu Liu is now, right?"

　　 "Treasure, don't worry. I won't do anything to May or Six."

　　 "I don't have any old grudges with Wuliu Ben."

　　 "The previous duel with May 6 was only forced by the situation."

　　 "I have some friendship with him for the time being."

　　 "So before I leave Edo, I want to talk to him separately."

　　 Taio looked straight at Ogata.

　　 Then he let out a light sigh with a bit of helplessness.

　　 "You go to the banks of the Rashomon River." The husband said softly, "Find a wandering girl named "He Feng". He is now at the home of He Feng."

　　 Ogata's eyes were surprised and a bit surprised.

　　 noticed the somewhat wrong Taifu in Ogata’s eyes and asked:

　　 "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me with such a look?"

　　 "It's nothing... It's just a little surprised. I thought it would take a lot of work to make you willing to say where he is now..."

"It was Wu Liu who asked me to do this." The Taifu sighed with helplessness again, "Wu Liu he had told me before: If you come later and say you want to see him, don't worry. Boldly tell you where he is."

　　 After that, the husband turned sideways and took a headdress from a table next to him.

　　 "After you see the wind, you will give her this headdress."

　　 "After you see five or six, don't fight."

　　 "Don't worry." Ogata smiled as he took the headgear. "I just said that, I don't have any old grudges with him."

　　 After handing this headdress to the buyer, the Taifu raised his gaze and looked directly into Ogata's eyes.

　　 "Since you are leaving Edo in a few days, I will take this opportunity to thank you very much."

　　 The voice fell, and the Taifu faced Ogata, and then solemnly bowed his body, supporting the tatami with his hands and resting his forehead on the tatami.

　　 "I heard Gu Sheng said it before."

　　 "On the night I was abducted, you noticed the mark I left on the neck of the person who abducted me, and you tried to save me."

　　 "Thank you very, very much for your helping hand to me at that time."

　　 "Your kindness, I will not forget."

　　 "Teifu, please raise your head." Ogata quickly said, "I was not able to rescue you back then, so you don't need to thank me."

　　 Taifu smiled and shook his head gently.

　　 "I don't pay attention to results, I only pay attention to process."

　　 "Regardless of whether you successfully rescued me at that time, the act of trying to rescue me is enough for me to thank you well."

　　 "When you come back to Edo in the future, if you encounter any trouble, you can come to me as much as you like."

　　 Taifu raised his head, and a charming smile slowly appeared on his face.

　　 "Anything I can help, I will definitely help."

　　 "I'm also an oiran, I still know some high-ranking officials in the shogunate."

　　 "So I can still help a lot."

　　 "Yeah." Ogata smiled and nodded vigorously, "If I return to Edo in the future, if I encounter any troublesome trouble, I will definitely come to you for help and tell you about the past by the way."

　　...

　　...

　　Edo, Yoshihara, Rashomon River Bank—

　　 After leaving the Mimeya, Okini followed his memory and came to the bank of Rashomon River on the western edge of Yoshihara.

　　 Because it is morning, there are not many wandering girls standing on both sides of the road soliciting customers.

　　 Ogata just asked casually, and he asked about the home of the wandering girl named "Japanese style", which is located in a relatively remote place on the banks of the Rashomon River.

　　 Ogata came to the door of Hefeng's house and knocked on the door.

　　 Before long, I saw a woman in her 30s opening the door of the room.

　　 more than 30 years old-this is the age of middle-aged women in this era.

　　 "Hello. Are you Miss Hefeng?"

　　 The woman nodded her head and turned her vigilant gaze towards Ogata: "I am. Who are you?"

　　 Ogata greeted him, and handed the headdress the Taifu had just given him to the wind.

　　 After taking the headdress from Ogata's hand, the woman raised her eyebrows.

　　 glanced at Ogata again with a surprised look, and Kaokaze moved his body to one side and let out a mouth that could enter and leave her room.

"come in."

　　The home of the Japanese style is also considered to be the larger one on the banks of the Rashomon River.

　　 There are several rooms.

　　 Kaze led Ogata to the door of the room located in the deepest part of the house, and then the door opened.

　　 The room behind the door is not big, about the size of 3 tatami mats.

　　 A person who is quite familiar to Ogata is sitting on a futon in this room.

　　 His body was wrapped in linen like a mummy. He was stretching his left arm, as if he was doing rehabilitation for his left arm.

　　 After Ogata appeared in his field of vision, he first showed surprise, and then the surprise on his face quickly turned into a faint smile.

　　 And after Hefeng brought Ogata here, he left silently.

　　 Ogata enters the room, closes the door, and then greets first:

　　 "It's been a long time. Five or six."

　　...

　　...

　　 5 days after the time has been turned back to Shiranui was extinguished—

　　Edo, Yoshihara, Rashomon River Bank—

　　 good smell...

　　 Very good smell...

　　 A very good smell penetrated into Shuntaro's nostrils.

　　 The hunger in the belly was aroused.

　　 Under the raging fire of starvation, Shun Taro's consciousness gradually recovered.

　　 And Shintaro's eyes slowly opened as his consciousness recovered.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　 After opening his eyes, the first thing that shines in Shintaro’s eyes is dim light.

　　 Shintaro followed the dim light, and it was an oil lamp that emitted this dim light.

　　 The faint light from the burning wick brings the only light to this narrow space.

　　 After retracting his gaze from the oil lamp, Shun Taro began to look carefully at his current environment.

　　 is a narrow room about the size of 4 tatami mats and no furniture.

　　 is lying on a fairly clean bedding, covered with a thin quilt.

　　 Shintaro sat up subconsciously.

　　 However, as soon as he moved the muscles of his waist, chest, etc., Shun Taro instantly felt as if he had countless needles piercing his body.

　　 This severe pain almost made Shuntarou scream.

　　 Shintaro moved his lower limbs lightly, and found that he had only his right hand left to move more freely.

　　 Turning his right hand, he gently lifted the thin sheet covering his body, and Shun Taro looked at his current body.

　　 was wearing a thin white yukata, layer after layer underneath the yukata, covering his whole body in a thick linen cloth, and nearly 80% of his skin was wrapped in linen cloth.

　　 One question after another came out of Shuntaro's mind.

　　 Where is this place?

　　 A Chang?

　　 Why am I here?

　　 Ichitosai?

　　What's going on in Shiranui?

　　Who healed me?

　　...

　　 Shintaro just wanted to shout to see if there is anyone else here, when suddenly he heard a sound of footsteps from far and near outside the paper sliding door of the room.

　　 After the footsteps stopped outside the paper sliding door, the paper sliding door was slowly opened.

　　 The one who opened the paper sliding door was a middle-aged woman who was about 35 years old.

　　 did not comb her hair bun, dangled her hair casually, had fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and mouth, her skin was a little sallow, and she was wearing a shabby light red kimono.

　　Although there are traces of time on her face, it can still be seen that this woman must have been a beauty when she was young.

　　 The woman opened the door and raised her eyebrows when she saw Shun Taro wake up, her eyes flashed with surprise.

　　 "You are awake." The woman whispered, "How? Are you hungry? If you feel hungry, I can cook some porridge for you now."

　　 Hearing this reminder from the woman, Shun Taro remembered that he was very hungry now.

　　 "Then I will trouble you..." Shuntaro was a little weak when speaking because of his weak body.

　　 "You are welcome." The woman smiled.

　　 After that, the woman slowly walked away from Shuentaro's field of vision.

　　 did not forget to help shut the door before leaving.

　　 However-not long after the women's footsteps left, Shun Taro heard another footsteps approaching him.

　　 But this string of footsteps is different from that of the woman just now.

　　 This string of footsteps is deeper and heavier.

　　 is more like a man's footsteps.

　　 Wow.

　　 The paper sliding door was opened.

　　 It is no longer the woman who opened the sliding door this time.

　　 is a man who Shuntaro is familiar with.

　　 "You really woke up." The man's tone was full of surprise, "It's incredible that you can wake up after such a serious injury..."

　　 "Are you...?" Shintaro's eyes widened slightly in surprise, "Lin...Zipei...?"

　　 This man is Lin Ziping who was rescued by Shintaro before Shuntaro was forced to go to the city east prison.

　　 "Oh? Do you remember me?"

　　 "Of course I remember... Did you forget that I was one of the two people who rescued you from prison?"

　　 "Of course I didn't forget. How could I forget such an impressive thing."

　　 Lin Ziping said, walking quickly to the head of Shuntaro's bed, and then sat down cross-legged.

　　 "Hello." Shuntaro said sternly, "Where is this? Why am I here? Why are you here?"

　　 Faced with so many questions from Shun Taro in one breath, Lin Ziping did not rush or slow down.

　　 "You ask so many questions in one breath, it's hard for me to answer."

　　 "Anyway..." Lin Ziping put his hands around his chest, "Let's start with the day I rescued you."

　　 Linzi slowly explained what happened on the day that Shiranui was attacked.

After 　　 was taken from the prison to Shiranui, Lin Ziping was imprisoned somewhere in Shiranui by Shintaro.

　　 Although eating well and dressing well, movement is limited.

　　 There are 2 ninjas guarding outside his residence.

　　 protects him in name, but monitors him in essence.

　　 When the time came to noon, the bombardment of the big tube resounded throughout Shiranui.

　　 Lin Ziping is not someone who has never seen the world before. He can still recognize the sound of the shelling.

　　 After the bombardment of the big tube sounded, Lin Ziping went out for the first time and asked the two ninjas who were in charge of monitoring him what was going on.

　　 The two ninjas naturally didn't know what happened. They could only vaguely ask Lin Ziping to keep Lin Ziping here at ease.

　　 But gradually, the bombardment of the big tube became louder and louder, and it got closer and closer to them.

　　 Finally—the two ninjas received news: Shiranui was attacked by unknown people, and they had been defeated across the board.

　　 These unidentified people who suddenly attacked them in Shiranui, and the released "dirty" were chasing the defeated ninjas.

　　 Although the mission is important, it is not as important as life.

　　 So after receiving the bad news, the two ninjas who were in charge of monitoring Lin Ziping ran away.

　　 And Lin Ziping saw that the two ninjas in charge of guards ran away. Although he still didn't know what happened, he instinctively sensed that it would be dangerous to stay here, so he also ran away.

　　 Lin Ziping who is not familiar with Shiranui can only run around.

　　 Under the accidental hit and collision, he avoided the "dirty" who chased the ninjas everywhere.

　　 also came to the decisive battle between Ogata and Shuntaro under the accidental collision.

　　 At that time, Ogata had already killed Keitaro in seconds by relying on "Transparent Realm".

So when Lin Ziping came to the decisive battle between Ogata and Shuntaro, he only saw Ogata and Shuntaro who had fallen to the ground, Keitaro who had become a corpse, and the wind chimes that had been tied by the five flowers and laid horizontally on the ground. Taf.

　　 Lin Ziping still has a simple sense of justice.

　　 Seeing the woman who was suspected of being **** by the gangster, there was no way to treat her as if she hadn’t seen it anyway, so after confirming that there were no other people around, she rushed to the Taifu’s side and untie the Taifu.

　　 An old man in his 50s who he didn't know suddenly came out to untie him—the wife was stunned for a while.

　　 But after the circle of confusion, the Taifu loudly asked Lin Ziping to take Shuntaro away. Take him to a safe place.

　　The wife did not know Lin Ziping.

　　 Whether the old man in front of him is worthy of trust is a question.

　　 But in desperation, the husband couldn't take care of that much.

　　 If Shuntaro continue to lie here like this, I'm afraid it would be more unfortunate.

　　 She was just a weak woman, she was awkward just to carry Shun Taro on her back, let alone take Shun Taro to a safe place.

　　Lin Ziping is very old, but he has a strong body that can't be covered by a loose kimono-so Taifu can only take a gamble and bet that this old man can help her.

　　 Lin Ziping hesitated when he heard the request of the husband.

　　 He still has the ability to loosen people up.

　　 But he fled to a safe place with a big living person on his back... Lin Ziping hesitated a bit.

　　 Just when Lin Ziping hesitated, the husband said a word.

　　 It was this sentence that made Lin Ziping directly make a decision—decided to assist the Taifu and take Shintaro to a safe place...

　　...

　　...

　　 "...Anyway, that's it."

　　 Lin Ziping with a dry mouth looked around, looking for some water to drink.

　　 After finding that there was no water nearby, Lin Ziping could only swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva to barely wet his lower throat.

　　 "Boy, your luck with that girl is really good. You ran into me."

　　 "I lived here in Edo for a long time."

　　 "So I am quite familiar with Edo."

　　 "I happen to know that there is an izakaya in the northern suburbs of Edo that no one runs anymore."

　　 "That is an izakaya opened by someone I know, because he returned to his hometown to inherit the family business, so the izakaya has been closed."

　　 "When my friend left Edo at the time, he gave me the key to this izakaya so that I could use it when I needed it."

　　 "The wine house is located in a very remote location, very suitable for Tibetans."

　　 "So I made an appointment with the girl-I will take you to the pub first, and then the girl will send someone to take us to a safer place."

　　 "There is nothing to say about the next thing."

　　 "I carried you back to the long-abandoned izakaya built by my friend."

　　 "Not long after I did a simple dressing for you, the girl sent two young people over and stuffed you into the sedan chair, pretending to be sending the doctor to Yoshihara, and sent you all the way to Yoshihara."

　　 Speaking of this, Lin Ziping smiled.

　　 "I didn't realize that the girl turned out to be Yoshihara's oiran until I sent you to Yoshihara...no wonder it's so pretty."

　　 "You mean...I'm in Yoshihara now?" Shuntaro's eyes widened in surprise.

　　 "To be precise, it is on the banks of the Rashomon River in Yoshiwara." Lin Ziping said, "We are now at the home of a wandering **** the banks of the Rashomon River."

　　 "You should have seen that woman just now? She is called Hefeng, the owner of this house."

　　 Hearing the name "Japanese style", Shun Taro immediately remembered who she was.

　　 He had heard the wind chime about this person before.

　　 Japanese wind is one of the friends of the wind chime.

　　 She used to be a wandering girl in a certain wandering girl's house. She had to live on the banks of the Rashomon River because of her age.

　　 Soon after falling on the banks of the Rashomon River, he suddenly fell ill.

　　 Thanks to the timely help of the husband, He Feng had his life back.

　　 So for Hefeng, Taifu is her savior.

　　 It is probably because the Taifu is kind to her, and the two have a good relationship on weekdays, and the wind is willing to let Shintaro stay in her home temporarily and take care of Shintaro.

　　 As for the two young people who put him in the sedan chair and pretended to be sending the doctor to Yoshihara, and sent him all the way to Yoshihara, Shuntaro guessed that they should be the ones who were usually favored by their husbands.

　　 Taifu, she has always been kind.

　　 Not long after becoming an oiran, he used his hard-earned savings to repair the houses on the banks of the Rashomon River, and often helped people who he could help.

　　 Those two people may be the children of two wandering girls on the banks of Rashomon River.

　　The wife used his savings to repair the houses on the banks of the Rashomon River, and often took care of some sick wanderers on the banks of the Rashomon River. All the wanderers on the banks of the Rashomon were grateful to the husband.

try{mad1('gad2');}catch(ex){}　　 So after the Taifu is in need, the wandering girls and their families on the banks of the Rashomon River are naturally eager to help.

　　 After knowing the probable cause and effect, Shuntaro asked:

　　 "You said you were because of Chang...ah, no, because of what Oiran said, you decided to help me."

　　 "What did Oiran tell you?"

　　 There was a self-deprecating smile on Lin Ziping's face.

　　 Then he raised his right hand and compared it to the posture of paying money.

　　 "Oiran told me at the time-as long as I am willing to help her, I will be paid 50 taels afterwards."

　　 "I happen to be short of a large sum of money for the travel to Ezo land."

　　 "So I decided to take a gamble."

　　 "Betting that the girl who asked me for help is really rich, and will really keep her promise to pay."

　　 "Very lucky, I won the bet."

　　 "Just the day before yesterday, I already received 50 taels of gold from Oiran."

　　 "This money is so timely." Lin Ziping took a deep breath, "This way, I will have enough money to go to Ezo land."

　　 "Ezo land?" Shintaro was puzzled.

"Before I went to jail, I planned to re-compile the Ezo Land's soldiers and geographies." The solemn color gradually climbed on Lin Ziping's cheeks, "Unfortunately, before I had time to implement my plan, I just Arrested and jailed."

　　 "Since it is rare to regain freedom now, I also want to restart my plan and do as much as I can for this country."

　　 "After receiving the 50 gold remuneration from Oiran, I will stay here temporarily and help Miss Hefeng take care of you while buying all the things needed for the long journey."

　　 "Now I have all the things I should buy."

　　 "You have also woke up."

　　 "So I am going to officially leave for Ezo Land in two or three days."

　　 "...Speaking of which," Shuntaro said softly, "Although I helped you regain your freedom, I still don't know why you went to jail."

　　 "This is not my first time in jail." Lin Ziping laughed at himself, "This is my third time in jail."

　　 "The reason for my three times of imprisonment is the same: I wrote to the shogunate and proposed to the shogunate to open the sea ban. Then I angered the shogunate and was imprisoned."

　　 "It's just more serious this time."

　　 "Probably because of my letter this time, my words are sharper than before."

　　 "As far as I know, I should be sentenced to death this time in jail or be kept until death."

　　 "I was already determined to die, and I was ready to die in prison."

　　 "Unexpectedly, I was rescued by you."

　　 "Maybe it's my fate."

　　 After that, Lin Zi stood up slowly.

　　 "Wait a moment, I'll get something for you."

　　 After leaving this sentence, Lin Ziping quickly walked away from Shuntarou's field of vision.

　　 Then it didn't take long for him to return to Shuntarou's eyes.

　　 After returning, Lin Ziping had an extra cloth bag in his hand.

　　 "This is what is on you. The thing returns to the original owner."

　　 Lin Ziping sat back on the head of Shuntaro's bed again, and then handed the cloth bag to Shuntaro.

　　 Shun Taro untied the cloth bag with his barely movable hand.

　　 The cloth bag contained all the equipment he had on the day Shiranui was attacked.

　　 His two Shinobi swords, a few Kunai, and some small props.

　　 and... a black pill.

　　 Shintaro twisted the pill, and after playing with it for a while, he whispered in a low volume that only he could hear, "I didn't lose it..."

　　 "The porridge is coming!"

　　 Just then, the sound of the gentle breeze sounded.

　　 Kaokaze carried a bowl of steaming porridge into Shintaro's room.

　　 "How?" Hefeng put the bowl of porridge beside Shuntaro's bedding, "Can you drink the porridge by yourself?"

　　 "Well... my right arm can move freely, so it shouldn't be a problem to drink porridge."

　　 "Then I'll leave first, and then call me if anything happens."

　　 "Miss Hefeng!" When Hefeng was about to get up and leave, Ogata stopped her.

"what's up?"

　　 "Can I trouble you something?"

"Please speak."

"Excuse me, please bring me a sentence to the Taifu." A weird smile appeared on Shuntaro's face. "If Goro Majima comes later and says he wants to see me, please feel free to tell me where I am. he."

　　...

　　...

　　 The timeline is reversed back to the present—

"It's a shame that you were so badly injured that you could escape." Ogata said softly, "Who should have taken you to escape? If there is no one to help, it will be based on you at the time. Can't even stand up."

　　 "Well, yes. Someone who was held in our Shiranui escaped in the chaos."

　　 "I have some friendship with him... A Chang asked him for help, and he also helped me with his hand, carrying me who was seriously injured at the time and fled to a safe place."

　　 "Afterwards, with the assistance of Chang, he brought me here. Not long after he brought me here, he also left. Now I don’t know where... I hope he will have a safe journey."

　　 Speaking of this, the figure of the old man, who is very old but unexpectedly strong, appeared in Shintaro's mind.

　　 The old man who saved his life has left five days ago and officially left for Ezo Land.

　　 "...You are calmer than I thought." Ogata said.

　　 Shun Taro: "Why do you say that?"

　　 "I just wondered if you saw me launching a sudden attack on Shiranui and ruining people in Shiranui. Will you show your face to me because of dissatisfaction."

　　 "You think too much." Shintaro smiled and shrugged, "I have no feelings for Shiranui."

　　 "The reason why I joined Shiranui and became a ninja is just to meet powerful enemies more easily and practice my skills more easily."

　　 "I don't care about the rise or fall in Shiranui."

　　 "I don't even have any interest in why you are attacking Shiranui."

　　 "It's better to say-now you have helped me ruin Shiranui, but I am grateful to you."

　　 Shintaro cast a grateful look at Ogata.

　　 "Originally—before you and your companions attacked Shiranui, I discovered that I stayed in Shiranui again, and there was no way to help me improve my skills, so I planned to leave Shiranui and try to practice martial arts."

　　 "Now that I am ruined by you in Shiranui, I will save trouble."

　　 After talking, Shun Taro turned around and asked Ogata back:

　　 "Okay, let's talk about you."

　　 "Suddenly visited, why?"

　　 "Is it here to confirm whether I am dead?"

　　 "Or are you here to kill me, the remnant party in Shiranui?" Shuntaro's last sentence changed into a joking tone.

　　 "Neither." Ogata responded in the same joking tone, "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

　　 "Because of something, I am leaving Edo."

　　 "I will leave in a few days."

　　 "After all, you can be regarded as a friend who has some friendship with me."

　　 "So I plan to come and tell you individually."

　　 "That's it..." After learning that Ogata was leaving Edo, the surprise on Shintaro's face was fleeting.

　　 "Ogata Ichitosai... Are you going to a new place to start a new legend?" Shintaro grinned.

　　 "If I can, I want to complete this long journey safely and without any waves." The smile on Ogata's face became a little bit more helpless.

　　 "Since you are leaving Edo... I will give you a farewell gift and a thank you gift."

After all, Shuntaro unwrapped the cloth bag that was next to his bedding, revealing the contents of the cloth bag: 2 Shinobi swords, a few kunai, some props that Ogata cannot name, and— A black pill.

　　 Shun Taro twisted the black pill and handed it to Ogata.

　　 "Ogata Ichitosai, this one is for you."

　　 "Yasha Maru?" Ogata raised his eyebrows sharply and exclaimed.

　　 "Yes, it is Yasha Wan." Shuntarou smiled and nodded, "Yasha Wan is a drug that Balrog finally developed in order to improve the strength of the ninjas in the village, and spent an unknown amount of manpower, time and money."

　　 "But only people who are physically strong can take Yasha pills."

　　 "If you don't have enough physical fitness, you will die if you take Yasha pills."

　　 "Because of the harsh conditions for taking Yasha pills, only the Balrog and the Four Heavenly Kings in Shiranui own Yasha pills."

　　 "Because Yasha pills are difficult to make. So since the birth of Yasha pills, I have only got 3 Yasha pills."

　　 "The first Yasha pill has been used in a previous fierce battle."

　　 "The second Yasha pill was used in the fight against you."

　　 "The second of the three has gone. The Yasha pill I am holding now is the last Yasha pill on my body."

　　 "You are kind to me."

　　 The gratitude in Shintaro's eyes became more intense.

　　 "Thanks to you and your companions. Perish in Shiranui."

　　 "A Chang is also saved because of you."

　　 "I am also free because of you."

　　 "This is an unrepayable kindness."

　　 "So—Ogata Ichitosai, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, take this Yasha Maru."

　　 "This is my farewell gift and thank you gift."

　　 "Your physical fitness is absolutely qualified to take Yasha pills."

　　 "Although this Yasha pill may be just the icing on the cake for you, it may save your life at the critical moment."

　　 "...Are you really going to give me this only one Yasha Maru?" Ogata's face showed some hesitation.

　　 "Of course." Shintaro replied without hesitation, "Although Yasha Maru is precious, it is more important to repay your kindness."

　　 "An Xin, take this Yasha pill, Ogata Ichitosai."

　　Since Shuntaro has said everything to this point, if he refuses, he will be a little bit ignorant.

　　 "...I see." Ogata nodded solemnly, then took the Yasha Maru with both hands, "Yasha Maru-I'll take it."

　　 Yasha pill is only the size of an adult's thumb, and it exudes a faint medicinal smell.

　　 "Such a powerful medicine, there should be no small side effects?" Ogata asked.

　　 "The only sequelae of taking Yasha pills is that you will be quite tired after the effect of the medicine is over." Shuntaro said, "As for why this is the case, I don't know much about it. I don't know much about pharmacology."

　　—Did you become very tired...

　　 Ogata lowered his eyes and glanced at the Yasha Maru lying on his palm.

　　—The side effects are the same as in the "Selfless Realm"...

　　—What happens if you take Yasha Maru while entering the "realm of no-self" at the same time?

　　 Ogata couldn't help but think so.
