I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Isshiki now feels as if there are two "selves" in her heart yelling at her.

One of the "self" was yelling to her—

This is a good opportunity too! This time I separated from Ichidozai, and I really don’t know when to wait when I meet again next time! Why don't you take this opportunity to show him your feelings for him? It's not that he should divorce his current wife and join you instead! It's just a show of heart, or else it's always held in my heart, how uncomfortable!

And the other "self" is shouting at her—

Don't do such a stupid thing! What's the use of telling him this kind of thing? Maybe it will only embarrass Ichitosai-sama!

The two "selves" had a quarrel.

However, the quarrel turned out to be noisy, and the outcome was quickly decided-the "self" who advised him not to do such silly things slowly gained the upper hand.

As the victory and defeat gradually became clear, the light of thinking and hesitation in Isshi Hua's eyes slowly faded.

Isseki is the kind of girl who has a more traditional thinking.

Even though there are no other pedestrians on the street where she and Ogata are now, they say "I have a good impression of you" to a man on the street-Isshikihan feels that she can't hold her face anyway Do this kind of thing.

Moreover, Isshiki didn't want to cause trouble to Ogata.

For some reason, she was very afraid to see Ogata showing a troubled and embarrassed expression after hearing her say "I seem to have fallen in love with you unknowingly"...

After making up his mind, Isshika paused and bowed slightly to Ogata.

"Although I don't know what Ichidozai-sama you are going to do in the future, I would like to wish you good luck in advance. When you have done all the important things you have at hand, you are welcome to come to Osaka at any time. "

Ogata nodded at her and smiled:

"Yeah. I will. I really like the city of Osaka. If I have a chance, I will definitely come to Osaka again... Um...!"

Ogata, who suddenly uttered a painful cry and knelt on one knee, was naturally taken aback by Isshiki.

"One, Ichidosesai!" Isshiki squatted down quickly, holding on to Ogata's shoulders, "What's wrong with you? Is something uncomfortable?"

…

…

The pain this time, in terms of the level of pain, is not a level at all compared with the pain caused by the spread of the undead poison the previous 2 times.

The pain this time was just a momentary effort, causing Ogata's cold sweat to burst out like a spring.

—Damn...!

Ogata gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

But at this moment-something unexpected happened to Ogata.

The sudden pain lasted only ten seconds, and it faded slowly like a low tide.

For only one or two breaths, Ogata can no longer feel any pain.

A few seconds ago, it was so painful that Ogata didn't even have the strength to shout, but a few seconds later, it returned to normal-this drastic change in contrast made Ogata stunned.

"Master Ichitosai." After seeing Ogata's face improved slightly, Isshiki asked again quickly, "What's the matter with you? Is it uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine..." Ogata stood up slowly while supporting the ground.

When he got up, Ogata realized that his clothes were sticky—all wet by the cold sweat that had just come out of him.

"This... is my old problem." Ogata casually panicked, "I occasionally feel severe pain in my head. It was just that my condition had relapsed just now."

"Illness?" After hearing Ogata's words just now, the color of Isshiki's originally extremely ruddy cheeks faded slightly.

"Don't worry." Looking at Isshika's frightened face, Ogata smiled slightly, and then lied, "I have seen the doctor early and have been taking medicine on time. My condition is much better now, so I will continue to take it. With medicine for a while, my illness will be cured."

Ogata wanted to immediately open his shirt to see if the purple on his left neck and chest had "expanded".

Naturally, it is impossible for him to open his clothes in front of Issehua, so he decided to continue to lie—

He raised his right hand and rubbed the temples on both sides with the thumb and **** of his right hand.

"...I'm sorry, Miss Isshi, I still feel a little pain in my head, I want to go back to the hotel where I live to rest first."

"Okay." Isshiki nodded immediately, "How are you feeling now? Can you go back to the hotel where you are staying alone?"

"It's okay to go back to the hotel." Ogata nodded lightly, "Then—I'll go back first."

"Well, in the future... if you have a chance to meet again."

…

…

Isshiki Hana watched Ogata's departure.

Looking at Ogata's smaller and smaller back, Isshiki sighed lightly.

"I too... go home..."

While muttering so, she turned around silently.

He walked slowly in the direction where Ogata was not present.

…

…

Turning into a remote alley and confirming that there were no outsiders around, Ogata couldn't wait to pull the collar of his upper body kimono open, and looked towards his left chest—the purple color did not expand.

Only the skin from the left neck to the left chest was still purple.

Then, Ogata opened his personal system interface.

Each of his own values ​​is also the original value, and it hasn't changed higher or lower.

Reminiscing that the sharp pain just lasted only more than ten seconds, Ogata guessed that maybe it was because the sharp pain just now was not the real undead poison expanding again.

Undead Poison did not expand-this actually made Ogata's heart heavier.

Because he had never experienced this kind of "sudden pain, but quickly returned to normal".

—Don’t tell Acho about the abnormal situation just now...

If I told Ah Ting about the weird situation he had just now, there would be no use other than making Ah Ting worry about him.

"It's really urgent..."

Ogata whispered to himself as he dressed neatly.

"Hurry up...find a way to get your body back to normal..."

…

…

The next day after the end of the "big test"-

The hotel where they stayed at Mamiya—

"Lord, Yuan is a big man, Shimada." Mamiya bowed and saluted the little figure in front of him with a smile, "You are finally here."

This little figure, after leaving Nara, has been rushing to Osaka non-stop, and finally Lin who has just arrived in Osaka.

Yuanyi and Shimada are separated by Lin.

Because of the sudden addition of Lin and the three of them, the not spacious room of Mamiya immediately became more crowded.

"Kuro, Mihachi, Qibei." Lin slept in the dust, patted the shoulders of the three people standing in front of Mamiya one by one, "Thanks for your hard work, what happened during your time in Osaka? Things that deserve more attention."

Lin, who has the hidden attribute of "workaholic", had just reunited with Mamiya and the others, and even before the dirty clothes on her body had time to change, she eagerly asked Mamiya to report.

"Lord, I have been waiting for the previous few days to come to Osaka, and I really found a lot of things that you might be surprised to say."

"Oh? For example?"

"For example, we met Ogata-kun."

"Ogata Ichitosai?" Lin's eyes widened in surprise.

Genichi and Shimada were equally surprised.

Mamiya reunited them with Ogata, exchanged information with Ogata, proposed to form an alliance with Ogata, but Ogata asked him to ask Lin 2 questions before he could consider whether to cooperate with them at Gourdiya A series of things, all told to Lin and others.

What Ogata experienced in Ezo land, and the information that Ogata collected in Ezo land, was too much and too complicated, so Mamiya talked about it for more than an hour.

From the various encounters of Ogata in Ezo, all the way to Ogata’s pirate ship on Anttong, he encountered a special poison that rolled out of his body, suspected to be a member of the "immortal" organization. Ministry and others.

Lin remained calm until Mamiya reported everything.

Thinking light flashed in his eyes.

It seems to be thinking about something.

Genichi also put on a thinking expression.

Yuanyi always looks carefree.

But at this moment, Genichi is very rare to be meditating...

"Lord." Mamiya continued at this time, "I have made an appointment with Ogata-kun. After you come to Osaka, you will immediately notify him who has questions to ask you, and let Ogata-kun now. Is he coming?"

"...It's too late now," Lin said in a deep voice, "and the way we are now...it's not a suitable appearance."

Lin stretched out her finger and flicked her right shoulder lightly—a little dust was dusted up.

"Wait tomorrow morning to notify Ogata Ichitosai. Let's take a good rest tonight, and then meet Ogata Ichitosai and the others tomorrow."

Lin's instructions were reasonable and there was no reason to refute, so Mamiya nodded, "I understand."

…

…

The inn where the gourd house and his party live is a high-end hotel with its own bathhouse.

When Lin, Genichi, Shimada and the others arrived in Osaka, it was almost 9 o'clock in the afternoon.

After listening to Mamiya's report and preparing to take a bath, it was already past 11 o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, the hotel’s bathhouse was closed long ago.

But the banknote ability can solve most of the troubles in this world.

With Lin's ability to cash, the hotel staff enthusiastically opened the bathhouse for Lin's 3 people, and quickly boiled hot water.

Genichi and Shimada were enjoying the spacious bath.

Shimada is the kind of person who doesn't spend much time taking a bath.

After soaking in the bath for more than ten minutes, Shimada said to Genichi "I'm going back first", then dressed neatly and left the bathhouse.

Shimada hurried back to the room and didn't notice—in the shadow outside the bathhouse, a petite figure had been secretly observing the male bath.

After seeing Shimada leave, this petite figure flashed into the men's bath with an agile posture.

In the men's bath, only one person was left at this time.

Yuan Yi closed his eyes, leaning back against the wall of the bath, enjoying the hot water.

But at this moment—outside the gate connecting the bath with the outside world, a female voice sounded:

"Uncle."

It's Lin's voice.

Yuan Yi had expected Lin to come a long time ago, his expression calm, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Xiao Lin, you broke into the men's bath without authorization. If you are hit by someone, you will be treated as a female pervert." Yuan Yi said in a playful tone.

Lin ignored the joke that Genichi just made-

"Uncle, do you have any thoughts about sending muskets to the Red Moon Fortress for free, and the'Kinoshita' cooperating with the pirate named Yitong...?"

Lin asked in a serious tone.

The joke on Yuan Yi's face that was revealed by telling the joke just now slowly faded away.

"...According to the appearance characteristics reported by Mamiya... That "Kinoshita" is probably Nobuhide..."

"I...so think so." Lin, who was separated from Yuanyi by a door, slowly turned gloomy.

"The palace on the Yate ship has Xuanzheng's special poison on his body."

"And Xuanzang is working on the effectiveness of the organization of the'immortality'."

"And that Anttong said: Miyabe is that guy's subordinate..."

"Study on'immortality' to defeat the Edo shogunate... It's really possible that this guy would do..."

"Damn... that lunatic...!"

Yuanyi heard the sound of hammering the wall.

"...Xiao Lin." Yuanyi asked softly, "What are you...what are you going to do now?"

Behind the door, with Genichi's question, it became extremely quiet.

After a while, Yuanyi finally heard—

"…have no idea."

Afterwards, Yuanyi heard the sound of footsteps leaving slowly.

…

…

Since following the agreement with Naoshu, Ogata's life has returned to peace after participating in the "big test match".

Ogata was also worried about whether the weird situation of “the pain came and disappeared quickly” would happen again—but fortunately, since the first occurrence of this weird situation, Ogata’s body has no abnormal appearance.

Although I was eager to find a way to get my body back to normal, I couldn't act recklessly no matter how rushed.

Without waiting for the saber to be repaired, he took 2 cheap knives that he bought at random and went to Koyasan to find clues-no matter how he looked at it, it was a reckless act of death.

Therefore, in a hurry, Ogata decided to act in accordance with the original plan-before Da Shi Tian and Da Zi Zai completed their cultivation, they would regenerate their energy well.

After the "big test", Ogata went to various places in Osaka to see and play with Amachi and Azu like the previous few days.

This kind of peaceful time that Ogata didn't have to work for anything—only lasted a little more than a day.

The morning after the "big test" was held-Makimura knocked on the door of Ogata Inn.

After reuniting with Mamiya, Makimura and others, Ogata informed them of his current address in Osaka in order to make it easier for Mamiya and Makimura to contact him.

After knocking on the door of the Ogata Hotel and seeing Ogata, Makimura told him straightforwardly the reason Ogata had found him now—Lin, Genichi and the others had arrived in Osaka.

…

…

The hotel where Daban, Calabash House and others stayed—

Because of the meeting with Lin this time, Ogata wanted to talk to Lin and the others about what it’s best not to let Azuki hear, so Ogata didn’t bring Azuki with him, and gave Azuki some money, letting Azuki take care of himself for the time being. One person went to the streets of Osaka to play and pass the time.

Under the leadership of Makimura, Ogata and Amachi came to the room where Mamiya and Makimura lived before.

At this moment, the room was extremely crowded—because there were 3 more people in the room compared to Ogata’s first visit.

It was Lin, Genichi, and Shimada.

Lin and Yuan sat side by side in the middle of the room. After seeing Ogata who hadn't seen for half a year, Lin, who was not good at making expressions, rarely showed a faint smile:

"It's been a long time, Ichitosai Ogata."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded with a smile, "Ms. Lin, Yuan is a big person, Shimada. It's been a long time. You guys have finally arrived in Osaka."

"Actually, we arrived in Osaka last night." Lin said, "but considering that it was too late at that time, and coupled with the fatigue of the boats and cars, Shimada and I were a bit tired, so we decided to wait for this morning to tell you how many of us. The news that I have arrived in Osaka."

Not seen in half a year, Lin and the others have not changed much in their appearance.

Especially Yuan Yi-still so energetic, not old-fashioned at all.

"Ogata-kun." Genichi grinned and grinned while holding his sword Yoshin, "I just thought of it—every time I reunite with you after a long absence, you happen to have just finished an unprecedented... It may also be a feat that will never be the last."

"The last time I reunited with you in the base of our gourd house, you just broke through Nijo Castle in Kyoto."

"And this time is even more serious, this time I reunited with you, you just broke the 10,000 shogunate army in Ezo."

"I suddenly look forward to the next time I will meet you again after a long absence."

Genichi put on a joking tone.

"By then, I wonder if you happen to have done something incredible again?"

"In fact, if I can, I hope I can become calmer in the days to come." Ogata responded to Genichi with the same joking tone.

Ogata and Amachi sat side by side across from Lin and Genichi, while Mamiya, Makimura, Asai, and Shimada sat casually in the remaining empty seats in the room.

After exchanging each other for a while, Lin cleared her throat, and the topic slowly turned to a serious topic:

"Regarding the things you experienced in Ezo-Tina with Ms. Amachi, and the'mutual cooperation' that you talked about after meeting with Kuro and them in Osaka, I have heard what Kuro and Yahachi said. Up."

"Personally, I am quite welcome to cooperate with you and Ms. Ading as I did before to deal with Shiranui, and then investigate Koyasan and other places together to collect intelligence and clues about "immortality"."

"Although our ultimate goal is slightly different, you want to get your body back to normal, and we want to investigate'immortality', but the goals of both of us are generally the same. If we cooperate, we will be able to achieve a win-win situation."

"But I heard from Kuro that you have two questions to ask me. You have to ask those two questions clearly before you can consider whether you want to cooperate with our gourd house."

"Now I have come. Ask any questions."

Lin has always been a person who doesn't procrastinate.

Seeing her so happy to say "Just ask" to Ogata, Ogata is not too vague—

"Ms. Lin, my first question... is also a question that has bothered me for a long time."

"At the beginning, after ending the confrontation with the shogunate and recovering injuries in the Red Moon Fortress, the leader of the Red Moon Fortress-Chanup told me: The muskets they used were used by a person who passed them 3 years ago. The young man who claimed to be'Kinoshita' with a purple handle on the waist of the Red Moon Fortress sold it to them at a low price similar to that of Baisong."

"Immediately afterwards, when I returned to Japan, I ran into a group of pirates who made a living from human trafficking."

"According to them, they cooperated with a young man named'Kinoshita' in Ezo four years ago. The pirates were responsible for abducting people and handing them over to Kinoshita, and Kinoshita delivered the corresponding remuneration."

"According to the appearance characteristics described by Chanup and the YT, the'Kinoshita' in their respective mouths...should be the same person."

"Although the surname Kinoshita is not such a rare surname in Japan."

"But... the same surname is Kinoshita, and both have amazing wealth... This makes me still involuntarily think of you, Miss Lin..."

"After learning that the person who gave the musket to the Red Moon Fortress was also surnamed Kinoshita, and was also very rich, I couldn't help but wondered whether this'Koshita' is your relative, Miss Lin?"

"Regarding this matter, I want to confirm it no matter what."

Ogata looked straight at Lin's eyes with a sharp gaze trying to show Lin's body through the entire hole.

Lin always has a poker face.

Until now, she still has no expression.

The expressions and feelings are very rich on weekdays, and he is not good at hiding his feelings. When listening to Ogata’s words just now, his expression changed-I heard from Ogata's mouth "Purple Harness". After words such as "sword" and "a young man calling himself'Kinoshita'", Yuanyi's eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of his eyes jumped.

Ogata’s words are actually not over yet—

"I can basically confirm now—"

Ogata continued.

"That'Kinoshita' is the important planner, organizer, and even...the mastermind of this series of events related to'immortality'."

Hearing Ogata's words, Linna hadn't had any moving expressions since just now, and now she finally had some changes.

"Miss Lin, since you have learned from Mamiya's mouth of the series of things that Acho and I had experienced in Ezo land, then you should also be able to understand-the red moon fortress musket was given away for free, and the ant communication "Kinoshita" who is cooperating is really suspicious."

"On the pirate ship of Anttong, there was a poison specially made by Xuanzheng on the body of that palace."

"According to Xuanzhi, this poison is his master's unique secret recipe. Only he Xuanzhi and his master Xuanzheng can refine this medicine."

"Xuan Zhi has long since retired, so where did the poison on his body come from... he is ready to come out."

"Xuanzheng is still working for the mysterious organization that studies'immortality.' That Miyabe belongs to this mysterious organization."

"Then'Kinoshita' is an important member of this organization...not even the highest leader of this organization."

"He cooperated with that Antcom, probably to have a sufficient number of experimental subjects to carry out the research on'immortality'."

"The instigator of the'disappearance' in Qina Village is probably also the'Kinoshita'."

"According to the information I tortured from the mouth of YT-the ‘missing incident’ in Qina Village occurred before ‘Kinoshita’ found YT to cooperate."

"I presume that the'Kinoshita' wanted to grasp the experimental subject on his own, and the young and middle-aged people in Qina Village became sad victims."

"After relying on my own strength to grab the experiment, I found that I was really bad at abducting people, so I found professionals like YT to start cooperation with them."

"Miss Lin."

Ogata's eyes are now extremely sharp.

"If you know anything about that "Kinoshita"... please tell me and Uchiko."

After speaking, Ogata closed his mouth, stopped talking, just looked straight at Lin.

After Ogata's voice fell for a while, this not spacious room was always audible.

Ogata and Amachi, as well as Mamiya and Makimura and others...including Genichi, are now looking at Rin, waiting for Rin's answer.

Lin pursed her lips and remained silent.

After she was silent for a long time, Lin's red lips, which had been closed, finally parted slightly.

"...Purple handle, plus a young man who calls himself "Kinoshita"... Heh, it's completely characteristic of that guy."

"Xiao Lin. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Hearing Lin's words, Genichi's expression changed slightly, "You... would you like to tell Ogata-kun about that person?"

"Ichitosai Ogata and Miss Amachi are important companions who have been born and died with our gourd house." Lin said lightly, "I don't think there is anything wrong with telling them about our family."

"And as Ogata Ichitosai just said, that guy...now it's really very likely to be the mastermind of this series of "immortality" incidents..."

"If it were that person, it would really be possible for him to do something like that..."

"Ogata Ichitosai is also being disturbed by'immortality.' I think it is necessary to tell him this important information even if it is out of friendship and moral considerations."

After that, Lin paused.

After a pause, Lin met Ogata's gaze—

"...That'Kinoshita'...mostly my brother, Nobuhide Toyotomi."

"Toyotomi... Nobun Hide...?" Ogata's eyes opened slightly.

Amachi sitting next to Ogata's face also showed surprise at the speed visible to the naked eye. She said, "Toyotomi...?"

"Kinoshita...actually not the real surnames of my uncle and me." Lin said in a calm tone that seemed to be just talking about something boring, "My real name is Toyotomi Lin. And Uncle's real name is Toyotomi Genichi. ."
