I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Before Ogata and others received the order to go to support the Yangmei House--

Takikawa walked down a certain avenue in Edo with a gloomy expression.

Since learning the result of the literary examination last night, Takikawa's face has not been better.

Before the essay test was released, how confident Takikawa was in himself, then after the essay test was released, Takikawa was so frustrated.

Whether it’s Takikawa himself or Takikawa’s friends and mentors, after reading the article written by Takikawa on the understanding of “knowingly knowing that you can’t do it,” they all praised them and thought that Takikawa would definitely win. The first place in the literary test can be among the top ten without any help.

But the facts surprised everyone, including Takikawa.

Not only did he fail to win the first place in the literary examination, but he did not have his name in the top 10. Despite the fact that he still passed the essay test, his name is on the list of those who passed the test.

Last night, when he learned that he was not even the top 10, Takikawa's first reaction was: how is it possible.

In order to verify the facts, Takikawa personally rushed to the place where the essay was released.

After seeing the list written on the list with his own eyes, Takikawa had to accept this cruel fact.

When I saw that his name was not even on the top 10, Takikawa really felt like he had fallen from a hundred feet high to the ground.

Even the top 10 is not that.

In addition to not making it into the top 10, there is another thing that makes Takikawa even more unacceptable.

That is, the first name in the literary test was actually the man who hadn't looked down on him together before, Goro Mashima.

Thinking that he, as a famous teacher, would lose to a Ronin, and that he was the one who had lost his face in the public before, Takikawa felt a lump of gas accumulated in his chest, and he could only beat it hard. Only with my chest can I feel a little more comfortable.

Last night, full of confidence, Takikawa and his friends set up a banquet before the essay list was released as a celebration.

After learning that he was not even the top 10, Takikawa did not have the mood to go to the banquet again.

And those friends in Takikawa also knew that the current atmosphere is really not suitable for another banquet, so the banquet last night ended hastily after the literary test list was released.

"Takikawa." Takikawa, who was walking forward with a gloomy face, suddenly felt a big hand slap his shoulder, "We won't be drunk or go home tonight, let's make trouble together until dawn!"

"Yeah." Takikawa nodded lightly, the gloomy color on his face disappeared a little, "Tonight's banquet is for Uesaka. Since it is yours, I will naturally not be polite. I will be nice tonight. Take a swig."

"Hahahaha, yes, that's what you want."

This person who slapped Takigawa on the shoulder is one of Takigawa's best friends-Uesaka.

This morning, Uesaka suddenly visited Takigawa's home and invited Takigawa to a banquet together, and had a long-lost drink all night.

Takikawa and Uesaka are also old friends. After so many years of friendship, Takigawa can see at a glance that his friend suddenly invited him to have a drink all night. What was his idea-in order to cheer up Takikawa who is in a bad mood. some.

After the literary test was released last night, Uesaka was also the first to come forward to comfort Takikawa.

The place where Uesaka holds a banquet is unusual-Yoshihara’s bayberry house.

Yoshiwara’s bayberry house is a well-known tea house throughout Edo, and many dignitaries will specially come to the bayberry house to hold banquets.

Uesaka's behavior to hold a banquet in a well-known tea house like Yangmei House in order to make him feel less moved Takikawa very much.

Anyway, he just had time tonight, and he didn't want to ruin Uesaka's kindness, so he readily agreed to Uesaka's invitation.

In order to make the banquet tonight more lively, Uesaka also invited a few friends who had a particularly close relationship with Takikawa on weekdays.

After all, this banquet was set up to help Takikawa cheer up, so the people invited are naturally Takikawa’s good friends.

Including Takikawa himself, a total of 8 people attended the banquet tonight.

"Takikawa, let's go a little faster." Uesaka, who was walking side by side with Takikawa, said, "Everyone should be at the Yangmei House."

"Yeah." Takikawa nodded. "You are right. Don't let others wait."

The two quickened their pace a little, and within a short while they climbed the Nihon Embankment, stepped onto the fifty-fifth road leading to Yoshihara, and saw Yoshihara's grand gate.

Looking at Yoshihara's gate, Takikawa wrinkled involuntarily.

He won't forget-that Goro Majima works in Yoshihara.

When I saw Yoshihara's gate, I thought of Goro Majima.

When I think of Goro Majima, I think of losing to him in the literary test.

The feeling of suffocation that has been lingering in my heart until now and torturing Takikawa will become more intense.

Uesaka is actually not quite aware of the grievances between Takigawa and Goro Majima.

Because Takikawa felt that he was embarrassed because he had lost his face because of Goro Majima in the room that taught the wanderers to read and write, so he never told others about him and Goro Majima in detail. This grudge.

Including Uesaka, his best friend, Takigawa didn't tell him in detail what kind of grievances he had with the literary leader.

Seeing that Takikawa's face suddenly became a little ugly, Uesaka wondered:

"Takikawa, what's wrong?"

"...It's nothing. Let's go, hurry into Yoshihara."

...

...

The bayberry house is not a girl's house, but a tea house.

At the same time, it is not an ordinary tea house.

It is a very special kind of tea house-Yinshou tea house.

Each Yumeya in Edo is roughly divided into three levels-the big view, the middle view, and the small view.

In fact, there is another level below Xiaojianshi, which is "seeing the world clearly."

For example, the girls' houses on the banks of the Rashomon River are actually "seeing the world."

It’s just that many people don’t think of seeing the world as one of the Younv’s houses. When talking about Younv’s, they only mention the three levels of "big, medium, and small seeing the world", and don’t count the seeing the world as one.

The reason for this is mainly because many people think that "seeing the world" is not a wandering girl's house.

Even for the smallest small family members, there will be some logistics staff to help take care of the daily life of the wandering girl.

But seeing the world is not so.

Most of the life experience is run by some wandering girls alone.

The wandering girls on the banks of the Rashomon River are a typical example.

No one helps them soliciting customers, so they can only stand on the street soliciting customers.

There is no one to help them with their food, and they can only figure out their own way to solve the three daily meals.

The so-called "Jian Shi You Women's House" run by those wandering girls on the banks of the Rashomon River is just a house where she lives, and there are no other wandering girls besides her.

Using modern discourse to give an example, it is: Big, medium, and small see the world are all companies with a complete range of employees in various positions, and see the world is just a self-employed person with no employees.

Therefore, when talking about Younv’s House, many people exclude the experience of the world.

Omiise is the highest-level Yunyuya, and its total number is only single digits in Yoshihara for a long time.

It is also precisely because Daikenshi is the highest-class Yugouya in Yoshiwara, tourists are not able to meet and find pleasure with Daikenshi Yugou casually.

A very complicated process must be followed to meet the wandering girls.

If you are going to find a wandering girl, you must first go to Yinshou Tea House.

After having fun in the Yinshou Tea House, the people from the Yinshou Tea House will help to introduce and introduce the females of the world-class You Girls’ House.

Therefore, Yinshou Chaya is simply an intermediary shop for you girls and customers.

Of course-helping to introduce the famous wandering girl is just part of the job of attracting Shou Chaya.

In order to make money, it is naturally impossible to receive only those guests who want to play with the famous travel girls.

Yingshou Tea House will usually receive some guests who don't plan to look for a girl for pleasure.

Therefore, on weekdays, there are also many people who do not look for wandering girls and just want to come to have a banquet with their friends, but also come to patronize teahouses like Yangmeiwu.

From the road that divides Yoshihara flat into two halves: the closer the tea house and the Yumeya in Nakanomachi, the more advanced it is.

The tea houses that can be used as yinshou tea houses are not ordinary small tea houses.

The bayberry house is located on the side of the road in Nakanomachi, quite close to the Shirobei Club.

After following Guasheng and others and heading to the Yangmei House, Ogata asked Guasheng:

"It turns out that these shops in Yoshihara can still borrow people from the clubhouse?"

Guasheng nodded:

"Our Shiro Bingbei Club and the residents and shops of Yoshihara are a relationship of mutual honor and disgrace."

"So when there is a shortage of staff in certain stores, as long as the staff in our club is not tight, we will transfer some people to support them."

"Of course-we won't help with everything."

"We won't help you with things like assisting you in soliciting customers."

"The work we will help, only to help them maintain law and order."

As soon as Guasheng's words fell, Keiemon shrugged and interjected:

"In fact, I have always felt that as soon as some shops ask for help, we will go to support the behavior, and it is good to do it occasionally."

"If you do it too often, you might spoil some people."

"Maybe it will make some people rely too much on us and stop spending money to expand their staff. If there is a shortage of staff, they will borrow from us."

"You're worrying too much." Gua Sheng put on a sullen tone, "No one who doesn't know what is good or bad and dares to borrow people from our club frequently."

"In my impression, the last time a shop asked for help from our club was all about half a month ago."

Ogata and the others arrived at the gate of Yangmei House without spending much time because of the close distance to the Shirobei Club.

The floor space of the bayberry house is absolutely worthy of Gua Sheng's evaluation of "one of the largest tea houses in Yoshiwara" just now.

Just standing in front of the door, Ogata felt the noise and heat rushing toward him along the open door.

As soon as Ogata and his party arrived at the gate of Yangmei House, a middle-aged man who had been standing in front of the gate just now, who was about 40 years old, quickly greeted them.

This middle-aged man is probably one of the staff of the Yangmei House, who is responsible for waiting in front of the store and welcoming the support staff of the Shirobei Club.

The middle-aged man first said a lot of mandarin and idioms like "welcome you". Then lead the way in front and lead Ogata and others into the Yangmei house.

...

...

"It's such an incredible tea house." Looking at the spacious corridor below his feet, Ogata couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

The corridor at Ogata's feet was so spacious that even if two people walked side by side, they wouldn't feel crowded.

On the left and right sides of this corridor, there are rooms, all of which are full.

There were constant laughter, the sound of eating, and the sound of drinking from the rooms on both sides.

This is the first time Ogata has entered such a high-class tea house, so he couldn't help looking at everything around him with curious eyes.

There were two types of tea houses in the Edo period.

One is the "small restaurant type", which provides simple tea and refreshments.

The other is the "big hotel type". The tea and refreshments provided by this type of tea house tend to be much higher than the "small hotel type" tea house, and there are also a large number of independent compartments for guests to open. Banquet.

Yangmei House is obviously the latter.

All "Yinshou tea houses" are all such "hotel-type" tea houses.

"It seems that there are a lot of people coming to this Yangmei house tonight." Guasheng, who was standing next to Ogata, said softly.

As soon as Ogata and others entered the bayberry house, they were broken up and scattered to various parts of the bayberry house, each in charge of an area in the bayberry house.

The Haori dedicated to the Shiro Soldiers Club had been taken off at this time and replaced with the ordinary Haori provided by the Yangmei House staff just now.

And this is also an unspoken rule when the club officials go to support Yoshihara's other shops:

In order to avoid causing unreasonable guesses and fears among the guests in the store, the official staff of the club will take off their special haori that represents their identity.

After all, the officials at the Shiro Bingbei Club are considered Yoshihara's police officers.

Seeing a group of people in police uniforms walking around the shop, the guests would surely wonder if something happened.

The areas where Ogata and Kayu are responsible are relatively close, so the two naturally stand side by side, chatting, and passing the peaceful and boring time because they can't see the troublemaker.

"Okay, Mashima-kun, let's continue to talk about the topic that was interrupted just now."

Guasheng, who was 25 centimeters shorter than Ogata, raised his head and looked at Ogata next to him curiously.

"Are you a descendant of a prominent samurai family?"

"Of course not." Ogata said without thinking, "I am not a descendant of a prominent samurai family, I am just a lower-level samurai from Izumo."

"Nor are there any particularly powerful scholars."

"I was surprised to be able to get the first name in the literary test. It may be because I was in a very good state on the day I started the literary test, so I got the first name."

After seeing Ogata denying that he was the descendant of the prominent samurai family, a happy smile appeared on Guasheng's face.

"It turns out that Mashima-kun, your background is not prominent... Then Mashima-kun, you are really amazing." Guasheng said sincerely, "Without a prominent background, you can still have such a superb swordsmanship and knowledge."

"Superior knowledge or something... I don't have such a thing." Ogata waved his hand, looking helplessly at the melon next to him, "I just said that I can win the first place in the literary examination. , It should just be that my luck is better...Huh?"

I don’t know if it’s Ogata’s illusion. Looking at him at this time, Guasheng always feels that Guasheng seems very happy after learning that his origin is not prominent...

"Miss Gusheng." Okata, who couldn't restrain his curiosity, asked aloud, "Why are you smiling all over your face."

"Huh?" Gua Sheng raised his hand and touched his face, "Am I smiling?"

"Yeah. A very happy look."

"I am indeed very happy now." Guasheng put down the hand that was touching his face.

"Did you remember something happy?"

"No, it's just that I am very happy to learn that Mashima-kun is from an ordinary background."

"Huh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows when he heard Guasheng's grotesque words. "What do you mean? Why do you feel so happy after learning that my background is not prominent?"

"For some reason, I have a dislike for that kind of samurai with a prominent background." Guasheng said in a half-serious and half-joking tone, "So if I learned that Mashima-kun was from a distinguished background, I didn't know what to do. What kind of face did you face with you."

"I don't like a samurai from a prominent background?" Ogata raised an eyebrow. "Why is this?"

"Miss Gusheng? Why are you here?"

A female voice with a faintly surprised color suddenly sounded from the sides of the two, and was inserted into the conversation between Ogata and Guasheng.

Ogata Xunsheng looked at the man who interrupted his chat with Guasheng.

The speaker was a woman with many wrinkles on her face.

There are a lot of wrinkles around the corners of the eyes, mouth, cheeks, etc., making her face look full of oldness.

Although she has a lot of wrinkles on her face, Ogata can still see that the woman's features are very good, and she should have been a beautiful woman when she was young.

"Miss Hua Feng!" Looking at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her, Gua Sheng's face showed surprise and joy.

This woman, called "Huafeng" by Guasheng, walked towards Guasheng quickly.

Before and after Hua Feng came to Ogata and Guasheng, Hua Feng looked at Ogata with curious eyes for a while.

"Miss Gusheng, who is this?"

As soon as Hua Feng's words fell, Gua Sheng immediately introduced to Hua Feng:

"Miss Huafeng, this is Goro-kun Mashima who came to work at our Shiro Bingbei Club some time ago. You should have heard this name, right?"

After introducing Ogata to Huafeng, Guasheng turned his head and began to introduce Kikakaede to Ogata.

"Mashima-kun, this is Miss Huafeng. It's my friend."

"Ah!" Hua Feng raised her little hand, covering her red lips that were slightly opened because of surprise, "Of course I have heard it. Recently, I can always hear this name everywhere in Yoshihara."

After that, Huafeng bowed to Ogata deep enough to make Ogata clearly see the nape of her neck.

"Mashima-sama, I've been admired for a long time."

Ogata has always felt helpless about the fact that he became a celebrity of Yoshihara without knowing it.

Ogata smiled bitterly and said hello to the respectful Kaede in front of him.

After introducing Ogata to Huafeng, Guasheng enthusiastically talked with Huafeng.

"Miss Hua Feng, why are you here?"

"I'm here to do something, what about you, Miss Guasheng? Don't you go to patrol Yoshihara?"

"Something went wrong this evening,"

...

Ogata didn't know Huafeng, so he couldn't get involved in the conversation between Gusheng and Huafeng.

What Gua Sheng and Hua Feng talked about were daily chores.

For example-what have you done recently, how have you been recently, who and who has done...

When the conversation was hot, Gua Sheng seemed to be thinking of something, and asked Hua Feng:

"By the way, Ms. Hua Feng, have you heard of how Miss Lingyin is doing recently? I haven't heard of Miss Lingyin for a long time."

As soon as Gua Sheng's words fell, the smile on Hua Feng's face froze directly.

After a while, the stiff smile on Hua Feng's face slowly turned into a helpless wry smile.

"...I haven't heard much about Miss Lingyin recently."

"But I heard a while ago that Miss Lingyin was not doing well..."

"After successfully redeeming herself, Miss Lingyin opened a private school in Kamakura that specializes in teaching people to read and write."

"But I don't know who leaked the news that Miss Lingyin was a wandering girl, causing Miss Lingyin to be squeezed out by the people around..."

This time, the smile on Guasheng's face froze.

An unspeakable weird atmosphere slowly emerged between Gua Sheng and Hua Feng.

Looking at the two people whose expressions became quite weird, Ogata slowly frowned.

After Guasheng and Huafeng talked about some other things, Huafeng waved his hands with Guasheng and Ogata on the grounds that "there is still something to do", and then left.

Looking at the fading back of Huafeng, Ogata asked in a low voice:

"Miss Gusheng, was that person a Yunv just now? The name Hua Feng...sounds a bit like Yunv's name."

The name Huafeng, whether it is the font or the pronunciation, is very much like the name of You Girl.

But Hua Feng's face with many wrinkles, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like the face that Yuu Girl would have, so Ogata couldn't help asking me about this.

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Guasheng nodded softly.

"Yeah. That's right, Huafeng is indeed a flower name."

"But Hua Feng is not a wandering girl."

"It's'Original You Girl.' She is now the hand of a certain You Girl's house."

"Because the word'huafeng' has been called for many years, she herself is used to it."

"So after she stopped being a wandering girl, Miss Hua Feng didn't change her real name, let us continue to call her by her nickname. So we still use her previous nickname to call her."

How does Ogata say he has worked in Yoshihara for a while, so he has a basic understanding of Yoshihara's various knowledge.

Dispatcher-a person who is specifically responsible for supervising You Girl. Basically, the old wandering girls take on this job.

Daily tasks include: wake up early to wake up the girls, make meals for the girls, and help them with all kinds of chores.

Because the dispatchers are basically held by the older wanderers, the dispatchers are occasionally responsible for giving some guidance to the newly arrived wanderers.

"Ms. Hua Feng is a good friend of mine, although I and her are quite different in age. When I first came to Shiro Bingwei Club, Ms. Hua Feng gave me a lot of help."

"I feel like a very gentle person," Ogata said.

When Hua Feng was chatting with Guasheng just now, she spoke softly, with a gentle smile on her face and eyes, so she gave Ogata a feeling of "this person seems to be very gentle". .

"Well. Ms. Hua Feng is very kind and gentle. When she was a wandering girl, she was loved and respected by people around her."

"After successfully saving enough money, redeeming himself to stop being a wandering girl, and changing to a handoff, Hua Feng will be more loved by everyone."

"After all, there are too few people like her who are not only senior but also willing to graciously guide the younger generation."

Leaving from Huafeng...No, it was from Huafeng who told me about the recent situation of Miss Lingyin, Gusheng's face was full of loss.

Ogata pursed his lips as he watched the depressed melon.

All fools could see that it was Miss Lingyin's affairs that made me look disappointed.

But Ogata didn't know this Suzue-san, so she didn't know what was going on between Suzune-san and Gusheng.

Therefore, Ogata wanted to make Guasheng happy when he was disappointed, but he didn't know what to do.

While Ogata was still thinking about how to remove the loss of color on Guasheng's face, Guasheng said abruptly:

"...Mashima-kun, are you wondering who that Miss Lingyin is?" Guasheng raised his head with a faint smile.

"Of course I am puzzled. I don't know her after all."

"Ms. Lingyin is a girl from the girl's house to which Ms. Hua Feng belongs."

Melon Sheng said slowly.

"My relationship with Hua Feng and her has always been very good."

"About half a year ago, she finally saved enough money to redeem herself."

"After redeeming herself, she did not choose to stay in Yoshihara like Miss Hua Feng, but chose to leave this place that had trapped her for more than ten years."

"What Miss Lingyin said is also one of my friends. After she left Yoshihara, I kept inquiring about her current situation, but unfortunately I have not been able to inquire about it."

"Until... just now..."

After speaking, Gua Sheng fell silent.

And Ogata also went silent, not knowing what to say now.

As early as 3 months ago in Kyoto, Okinawa had the bleakness of seeing the wandering girls in Shimabara.

After coming to Shirobei Club and becoming one of the members responsible for protecting Edo Yoshihara, Ogata has a more profound experience of the "behind the scenery, there is nowhere to say desolate" situation of the wandering girls.

The wandering girls have three major enemies: disease, money, and age.

Due to work, wandering girls are extremely vulnerable to various diseases.

And these diseases can't be cured by the medicine of this era.

If Yoshihara’s wandering girls want to be free, they must save enough money to redeem themselves before they get sick and get old, or run into a rich person who is willing to redeem themselves—no matter what Whether to save enough money to redeem himself, or to run into a rich person who is willing to redeem himself, is as difficult as the sky.

After all, not everyone has the ability to have guests roll their names every night.

For a long time, there hasn’t been any guest rollover, and they earned less than a cent—this is the norm for most travel girls.

If you fail to redeem yourself before you get sick and get old, you will face two endings next: being driven to a chaotic place like the Rashomon River bank as rubbish, or your boss is more kind, Leave you in the girl's house, let you do all kinds of chores and tiring work.

Therefore, a wandering girl like Hua Feng who can smoothly save enough money to redeem herself and at the same time can smoothly find a fairly stable job after not being a wandering girl is one of the best in a hundred.

...

...

After being silent for a while, Gua Sheng suddenly said in a slightly serious tone:

"Mashima-kun, you just asked me why I have a dislike for the samurai from the famous family, right?"

"In fact, the reason is very simple."

"Because I think this group of distinguished samurai is very useless."

"They have no worries about food and clothing since childhood, and they can receive the best education.

"Because of the illustrious family background, since their birth, they are destined to be able to hold various important positions in the shogunate and the feudal clan in the future."

"They have the best food, clothing, education, and occupy the major positions of the shogunate and the shogunate, but they are always in the corpse place. Over time, I will treat these high-ranking samurai who are destined to be high-ranking officials. We are very disappointed."

"I don't go far, only the near ones."

"Mingji had many chaos that needed to be corrected, but he just didn't try to manage and correct them."

"But I don't blame Shiro Hebei-sama."

The color of helplessness on Gua Sheng's face became more intense.

"Although Shiro Biebe-sama also holds part of Yoshihara's management power, he is not qualified and authorized to carry out drastic reforms on the government-run Yoshihara."

"It is the high-ranking officials of the shogunate who can carry out drastic reforms to Yoshihara."

"But these high-ranking officials have never seen and managed these chaos in Yoshiwara."

The small head of the melon is lowered and lowered.

"If the reason why they don't care about Yoshihara is for other more important events, that's all."

"But I haven't seen this country getting stronger and stronger... 3 years ago there was a great famine, and so many people died of starvation..."

"After I came to Shiro Bingbei Clubhouse, I always felt that the Yuu girls were very pitiful. I also became friends with many Yuu girls."

"In order to reduce the pain of the wandering girls as much as possible, I have always tried my best to do everything I can for the wandering girls."

"That's why I worked so hard at the Shiro Bingbei Club."

"At the beginning, I really thought that I would do this to alleviate the suffering of the wandering girls."

"Later, I realized that I did this like sharpening a blunt knife with my nails.

——How can you sharpen the knife with your nails? "

"My efforts... don't seem to have any effect at all..."

"This feeling is really annoying...I have been doing a futile thing..."

Speaking of this, Gua Sheng's head had dropped to the point where her chin was almost touching her collarbone.

The eyes are full of confusion.

Ogata has been quietly listening to the long emotion that Guao just made.

After Guasheng had finished speaking, Ogata remained silent and did not speak immediately.

Ogata and Guasheng, who didn't speak, just let the atmosphere called "silence" linger around them.

After a while, someone finally broke the atmosphere.

"Sorry, I seem to have said a lot of strange things just now, Majima-kun, don't you think I didn't hear what I just said."

It is Gusheng who breaks this atmosphere.

As Guasheng spoke, he raised his head and showed a cheerful smile as usual.

Ogata turned his head and glanced at the melon next to him.

Then-

"There is nothing wrong with sharpening a blunt knife with your nails."

Under the gaze of Gua Sheng's surprised gaze, he whispered.

"It's better to sharpen a blunt knife with your nails than to do nothing with the blunt knife."

Speaking of this, a touch of contemplation appeared on Ogata's face.

After pondering for a while, Ogata said softly again:

"If you can send a light, you can send a light. Even if this light is like a firefly, it can bring some light to the darkness. There is no need to wait for a torch to illuminate the darkness."

This is a famous quote from a celebrity in Ogata's previous life.

For some reason, after hearing the emotion of Guasheng just now, this well-known quote automatically popped out of Ogata's mind.

So Ogata modified this famous saying slightly, changed it into a model that more adapted to Japanese oral habits, and then told it to Guasheng.

As soon as Ogata's voice fell, the astonishment and surprise on Guasheng's face appeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"...Really deserves to be the first name in the literary examination." After an unknown period of time, the astonishment and surprise on Gua Sheng's face turned into a faint smile, "I can say such a powerful thing..."

Listening to Guasheng's words, Ogata couldn't help but feel a little guilty...

Because he knew that the sentence he just said was not something he thought of himself, but it was borrowed directly from the celebrity in the previous life...

"This sentence is not what I thought, but I learned from a very powerful writer before..."

Ogata’s truth hasn’t finished yet--

"You bastard!!"

A sudden loud shout interrupted Ogata's words.

This shout came from a far away place, but because of the loudness, Ogata and Guasheng could still hear it clearly even though they were not a short distance away.

This was obviously the shout made by the man, as soon as it fell, Ogata and Guasheng both changed their faces.

There is no need for anyone to tell the two, they will be responsible for the knives on their waists and rush to the source of the shout.

I don’t know if it’s Ogata’s illusion~www.wuxiahere.com~ He always feels that this shout is a bit familiar. It seems that this voice has been heard somewhere before...

After running all the way to the place where the shout was made, Ogata and Guasheng saw that there were already many clubhouse servants who had also come to support the Yangmei House, as well as the escorts hired by the Yangmei House.

The shout came from a large room on the third floor of Yangmei House.

After Ogata arrived at the scene, the door of this large room was open.

After entering the room along the open door, Xu Li saw a messy picture.

And a very familiar person.

"Takikawa?" Ogata frowned.

"Majima Goro...?!" Takikawa, who was standing in the corner of the room, frowned when he saw Ogata.

After seeing Takikawa, Ogata finally knew why he thought the sound of that shout sounded so familiar.

This is the voice of Takikawa.
