I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 36: The temptation of capitalism

   Seeing that Ogata had misunderstood herself, the woman blushed instantly and said anxiously:

   "I am not a woman of the wind and dust! The reason why I am waiting for you at your door is just to tell you something important!"

   "Is it important? As far as I know-we two should never know each other."

   "I do not know each other, but I really have very important things to discuss with you!"

   "...If you have something to tell me, just say it here. You can finish it quickly, and I can go back to my room and sleep quickly."

   "This is not a place to talk about things." The woman looked around, "Let's go inside the house and talk about it."

   "...No way." Ogata glanced up and down at the woman alertly, then bluntly refused.

   Seeing Ogata rejected herself, the woman was taken aback for a while, and then said anxiously:

"why not?"

   "Because I will never let a stranger come into my house casually. Even a weak woman who looks weak and can't help it."

   "If you have anything important to tell me, just say it here."

   "Anyway, I will never bring you into my house. If you have to come into my house before you are willing to tell me about your important matters, then I can only ask you to leave here."

   The woman bit her red lip.

   After hesitating for a while, he said sternly:

   "I see...then let's talk about it here."

   "Before telling my business, please allow me to introduce myself."

   After all, the woman made a beautiful bow towards Ogata.

   "I am Toyama Shichiro's wife-Ash."

   "Toyama Shichiro's wife..." Ogata frowned, "I wonder why Toyama's wife came to me in the evening?"

   "Master Ogata... In the ritual contest that is about to begin, I wonder if you can deliberately lose to my husband?"

   Ashit just finished speaking, and Xu answered without thinking:

   "Impossible! Are you going to let me play a fake match?"

   "Fighting, counterfeiting...?"

   Ash turned his tongue, trying to spit out this strange language that he was not used to.

   "Ah, don't worry about the meaning of'fake match'." Ogata waved his hand. "Did Toyama sent you to persuade me?"

   "No, it's not. My husband doesn't know about it, I came to you on my own initiative."

   "...Madam." Ogata said in a low voice after being silent for a while, "I don't quite understand."

   "Your husband is not a weak person."

   "His swordsmanship is very superb, and I don't know if I can beat him now."

   "Your husband is not fighting a losing battle, why come to intercede for him for no reason?"

   "It is exactly what you said just now, Lord Ogata-my husband is very strong, and the battle he is about to fight is not a losing battle..."

   Speaking of this, a faint wry smile appeared on Ash's face.

   "But this is not a must-win battle at the same time, is it?"

   Ogata does not deny what Ashit has just said.

   Ogata doesn't think that he will win Toyama.

   But at the same time, I don't think that I will lose the distant mountain.

   "Master Ogata, do you know what terrible things will happen to my husband if he loses?"

   "I don't know." Ou Jin shook his head suspiciously.

   "My husband is a very confident person..." Ash whispered, "A few months ago, he and his fellow apprentices boasted about Haikou--he can definitely win this year's sacrifice to the gods."

   "If he loses, he will commit suicide by caesarean section."

"...Your husband is really confident." Ogata smiled. "Even such a promise. But such a promise shouldn't count, right? His gang of senior brothers shouldn't be able to This sentence is serious."

   A bitter color appeared on his face, like Ash who had eaten a very sour grape and shook his head gently:

   "My husband’s brothers shouldn’t take my husband’s words seriously."

   "But my husband takes it seriously."

   "My husband is not only quite confident, but also quite strong."

   "As long as he says something, he will definitely do what he says."

   "If he loses the sacrifice to the gods, even without the urging and compulsion of the seniors, my husband will definitely fulfill his promise and cut his stomach cleanly..."

   After hearing what Ashami said, Ogata couldn't help but shrink his neck.

   Ogata had to admit that--a person like Toyama who was so staunch and a little sick was quite terrifying.

   "It should be... not so..." Ogata said in a hesitant tone, "Does anyone really commit suicide by laparotomy because of this kind of promise that basically nobody cares about..."

   "Others may not, but my husband will definitely!" Ah Shishi said firmly, "I have been with my husband for a long time, so I know who he is."

"If he loses the sacrifice to the gods, even if all the senior brothers stop him and tell him,'No one remembers this promise', my husband will definitely find an opportunity when no one can stop him, and quietly put himself Cut his belly..."

   "I don't want my husband to commit suicide by caesarean..."

   "So I don't want my husband to lose this year's sacrifice to the gods..."

   "Master Ogata..."

   Asumi said ~www.wuxiahere.com~, buried his head and bowed deeply to Ogata.

   "Please...can you deliberately lose this year's sacrifice to the gods...?"

   Looking at Ashit who begged him, Ogata's mood was a little complicated.

   From an emotional point of view, Ogata sympathizes with Ash.

   can be seen-Ash loves her husband very much.

   Otherwise, I wouldn’t do such a thing as an opponent who finds her husband overnight and asks his opponent to be merciful.

   But sympathy returns to sympathy, and Ogata does not intend to accept Ash’s request.

   After clearing his throat, Ogata whispered:

   "Miss Ash, please raise your head."

   "How can I say that I am also a samurai, a man, this kind of deliberate loss to the opponent, I really can't do it."

   Upon hearing Ogata's words, Ash, who was a little unwilling, bit his lip again.

   "Master Ogata!"

   Ashit shouted Ogata's name, then reached into his Wufu's belt, took out something, and then quickly leaned toward Ogata, who was only 2 steps away from her.

   When only half a step away from Ogata, Ash stopped, and then stuffed the thing in Ogata's arms.

   "Master Ogata! Please! Please help me!"

   Ash was stuffed into Ogata’s arms as a small cloth bag.

   When Ashit pushed the small cloth bag into Ogata’s arms, because Ash’s movements were a bit big, the small cloth bag in her hand was swayed by a considerable amount.

  Ogata clearly heard a very crisp sound when the cloth bag was shaking.

   This is the sound that occurs when the coins collide.
