I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 Although Ogata is currently doing the part-time job of "Ryuya Security", even doing this part-time job will only change Ogata's life from "tight" to "not so tight".

　　 Maybe it's because the days have been tight, making Ogata very sensitive to the sound of copper coins colliding.

　　 Ogata judged it instantly—the cloth bag in Ash's hand was filled with money.

　　 And it’s a lot of money.

　　 Ogata was silent for a while while looking at the purse that Ashita handed over.

　　 then sighed lightly.

　　 Raised his left hand and held Ashina's hands holding the purse, and then gently pushed back together with Ashina's hands with the purse.

　　 At the same time, he also took advantage of the trend to push Ash, who had been close to him, farther away from him.

　　 "Sorry, Miss Ash."

　　 Ogata said, slowly letting go of Ash’s hands.

　　 "How can I say, I am also a samurai."

　　 "I can't do this kind of thing that collects money and then deliberately loses to others."

　　 "And-the sacrifice to the gods is not just my business."

　　 "The success or failure of the sacrifice to the gods is related to the face and dignity of my Sakura Sword Museum."

　　 "I must not deliberately do something like this for the sake of a little money that would put me to shame at Sakahara Sword Museum."

　　 "So—please go back."

　　 When seeing this, Ash appeared anxious and wanted to say something to Ogata.

　　 But Ogata noticed Ash’s move in advance, raised his hand to stop it, and reiterated:

　　 "Please go back!"

　　 "...Yes..." Ash silently stuffed the money bag back into the belt of his Wu Fu, then turned and left.

　　 It wasn't until Ash completely disappeared from his field of vision that Ogata let out a sigh of relief.

　　 "Having such a wife, I really don't know if it is Toyama's luck or misfortune..."

　　 Looking at the direction in which Ash’s back disappeared, Ogata showed a helpless wry smile, and then continued to mumble softly with a volume that only he could hear:

　　 "Coming to bribe the opponent in order to make the husband win... I really don't know how to evaluate this kind of behavior..."

　　 After sighing like this, Ogata turned around and went straight back to the room, ready to wash briefly, and then went to sleep.

　　 Ogata thought that Ash’s sudden visit tonight was just an ordinary episode in life.

　　 He didn't think about who he would promote the matter to in the future, he only planned to let this ordinary trivial matter rot in his stomach.

　　 But he never expected that-this little thing that seemed to him fairly ordinary tonight caused him a big trouble...

After Ashikai left Ogata’s door with her purse, a pair of eyes that have been hiding in the dark place not far away since Ashit stood in front of Ogata’s house and waited for Ogata’s return home. Braving the cold light, while chasing Ash's leaving figure.

　　 Until Ash disappeared from the field of vision and Ogata returned to the house, the owner of these eyes slowly walked out of the dark.

　　 This person is the Itagaki who followed Ash all the way to this point.

After 　　 walked out of the dark place, Itagaki deflected his gaze to look at the Ogata's house, which was still shining a little light.

　　'S eyes are full of anger.

　　 "You... adulterer...!"

　　 The next day——

　　 Ishikawa Sword Museum was established much earlier than Sakahara Sword Museum.

　　 Therefore, the various facilities in the Ishikawa Sword Museum are older than those in the Sakura Sword Museum.

　　 "Drink!"

　　 Yuan Shan waved his sword towards the air in front of him, practicing swordsmanship, and shouted with an astonishing momentum.

　　While swinging the wooden sword and practicing swordsmanship in the distant mountains, it was gloomy and walked slowly towards the distant mountains.

　　 "Senior Toyama..."

　　 "Huh? Itagaki, what's the matter?"

　　 Toyama stopped the sword in his hand, and while wiping the sweat from his face, cast a suspicious look at Itagaki beside him.

　　 "Why do you look so ugly? Is it uncomfortable in your body?"

　　 "No... I am in good health... Senpai Toyama, can you come with me? I have something important to tell you."

"Important matter?"

　　The distant mountains looked around the group of brothers who were also practicing swordsmanship.

　　 "Can't you say it here?"

　　 "No."

　　 Itagaki's tone is decisive.

　　 "...Well then. Let's go outside and talk."

　　 Yuanshan and Itagaki walked out of the dojo one after another, and came to an empty place outside.

　　 looked around, and after confirming that there were no other people around, Itagaki lowered his voice and informed Toyama in full detail what he had seen and heard last night.

"what?!"

　　 After Itagaki's voice fell, Toyama's eyes, which were originally relatively small, were now completely round.

　　 "Ah, Ash and she actually met the Ogata Yushi last night?! Is this true?!"

　　 "It's true..." Itagaki continued to calm down and nodded, "I think Ash's look and behavior are weird, so I decided to follow her."

　　 "Unexpectedly, she really had a problem."

　　 "I saw her standing in front of Ogata's house and waiting for Ogata's home."

　　 "After Isa Ogata came back, I stood at the door with Isa Ogata, not knowing what they were talking about."

　　 "Because of the distance, I didn't hear what they were talking about."

　　 "But I saw Ashi suddenly pounce on that Ogata afterwards with my own eyes!"

　　 "And that Ogata even reached out and grabbed Ash's hands afterwards!"

　　 "The two behaved so intimately...Isn't there a problem with them, what else...?"

As soon as 　　 Itagaki's voice fell, Toyama, whose face had already become extremely ugly, raised his hand to support his forehead:

　　 "Why... like this... Ash, she told me clearly last night that she was going to Hachiman Shrine to pray for me..."

　　 Yuanshan feels a little dizzy now.

　　 The shocking news hit Yuanshan's brain.

　　 Ling Yuanshan still feels unrealistic.

　　 "...Senior Toyama." Itagaki said again, "If you don't believe me...you can go to Hachiman Shrine."

　　 "Just ask the priests and witches of Hachiman Shrine~www.wuxiahere.com~ to know if Ash has gone to Hachiman Shrine to pray for you last night."

　　 Hearing Itagaki's suggestion, Toyama was silent.

After that, he turned back in silence and returned to the dojo. After taking back his saber and putting on his straw sandals, he rushed out like a gust of wind under the suspicion of the other brothers except Itagaki. I left Ishikawa Sword Museum and headed straight to Hachiman Shrine...

　　 Achievement is practicing calligraphy quietly at home.

　　 Suddenly, she heard movement from the hallway.

　　 With a confused mood, she walked slowly to the entrance, and she saw the far-mountain with a gloomy and scary face standing in the entrance.

　　 "Danna?" Ash's face was full of surprise, "Why are you back?"

　　 This is the first time Ash has seen Yuanshan come home so early after marrying Yuanshan.

　　 Yuanshan did not answer any questions from Ash.

　　 Toyama He... just came back from Hachiman Shrine...

　　 didn't even take off the straw shoes or the saber, so Yuanshan rushed into the room quickly.

　　 Ash wanted to follow up and ask what happened.

　　 was scolded by Toyama:

"leave me alone!"

"do not come near me!"

　　 was reprimanded by Toyama for no reason, and Ash couldn't help feeling a little wronged.

　　Since Yuanshan wouldn't let her approach, Ash obediently did so, no longer following Yuanshan's side.

　　 Yuanshan rushed back into his room and closed the door of his room.

　　 After about half a stick of incense, Yuan Shan came out of the room and returned to Ash's eyes again.

　　 Compared with just now, there is one more thing in Yuanshan's hand at this time-a letter that has been folded.
