I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"Ogata-kun...fortunately...you weren't here just now...it's really...fortunately...our Sakakihara One Sword Style can still leave...a heir...this genre will not...just cut off. ..."

　　 "Quiet!" Xuan An scolded Mikami, "Stop talking and wasting energy!"

　　 Although he was scolding Mikami, Xuan An's hand that was wrapping Mikami's wound did not stop.

　　 "Doctor...Thank you for your kindness and treatment...but ah...I should be out of help...?"

　　 The words of Sanshang made all the doctors headed by Xuan An speechless...I don't know how to respond to the words of Sanshang.

　　 "How is my body...I know it myself...My blood is almost drained...Even if Hua Tuo, who lives in the Tang Dynasty, is reborn, it is impossible to save me..."

　　 "While I can speak now... let me talk more..."

　　 After all, the reason why the Sanshogun Sword Museum became the current tragic situation was informed to Ogata, Kuranaga, and others in abbreviated sentences.

　　 After learning that the perpetrator of the tragedy at Sakura Sword Museum tonight was actually Matsuhira Genouchi, the expressions of Kuranaga and the flying monkey changed one after another.

　　 "How?" Although I already knew what the answer was, Kuranaga still had a glimmer of hope and asked Chao Xuan'an like this, "Is he...is there any help?"

　　 Xuan An and others did not answer.

　　 just shook his head silently.

　　 "Ogata-kun... are you there...? I can't see things clearly..."

"I'm here."

　　 Xuan'an and others wittily lifted their respective medicine boxes and left Sanshang's side to make room in front of Sanshang.

　　 Ogata also walked slowly towards Mikami, and then crouched in front of Mikami.

　　 "Ogata... I'm sorry, Master and brothers... Waiting for Huangquan... What should I say to Master... and brothers...?"

　　 "Mikami...what silly thing are you talking about? How can you feel sorry for the master and brothers?"

　　 "... After learning that... that faint lord actually intended to use us as toys... when we killed each other... I was very angry..."

　　 "If... really kills each other as... then the unconscious king said... at least more than half of the brothers... are going to leave me..."

　　 "I would rather stand to die... rather than kneel to live..."

　　 "So... a **** throat surged... I swung a knife and killed the faint lord..."

　　 "Until... I heard the voice of the master and the brothers... falling down one by one... I just... regret it..."

　　 "It's all because of...I intended to assassinate that faint lord...that made everyone die..."

　　 "As long as we all obediently follow...that faint king's order to kill each other...we might...half of the people will survive..."

　　 "Attempted to assassinate Faun-kun... but was cut down by his guards..."

　　 "Not only did he fail to assassinate the king...but also implicated everyone..."

　　 "Finally...died in such a desolate posture..."

　　 "I feel guilty in my heart..."

　　 "Wait for Huang Quan...I don't know what kind of expression I should use to face everyone..."

　　 "...Mikami-senpai." Ogata raised his finger and wiped away the teardrops that rolled from Mikami's eye sockets. "Don't apologize... and don't feel guilty."

　　 "You did nothing wrong."

　　 "The one who should apologize and feel guilty is the faint lord."

　　 "Wait for Huang Quan, you just have to face everyone with a normal expression."

　　 "I believe that Master, Makino, and others will not blame you."

　　 "They might still pat your shoulder and tell you-Mikami, you did a good job, and we didn't lose our backbone and vitality at the Sakura Sword Museum."

　　 "Ogata-kun...thank you..."

　　 "Ogata-kun... are you there? I have... I can't see anything..."

　　 "I'm here, I've always been next to you. Can you feel my hand?"

　　 "No...Ogata-kun, sorry...my hands are now full of blood...soil your hands..."

　　 "It's just a small matter, I don't care."

　　 "Ogata-kun..."

　　 "I'm here, what's wrong?"

　　 "I feel... it's getting cold... Is there something to cover for me... At the last moment... I want to sleep in a warm environment as much as possible..."

　　 "I see... how? Do you feel a little warmer?"

　　 "Ogata-kun... are you holding me...?

"Ok."

"……thank you……"

　　 "I've talked about our relationship, so don't thank you."

　　 "Mikami? Is there anything else you want to say?"

　　 "……"

　　 "Mikami..."

　　 Before and after Ogata crouched on Mikami, Kuranaga was very aware of the current affairs and told Xuanan and others to leave here, and told Xuanan and others: Don't tell the news about tonight.

　　On the dojo full of dead corpses, only Kurunaga, Tobiru, Ogata, and...In Ogata’s arms, Mikami who had just lost his life...

　　 Even though Mikami is no longer alive, Ogata still holds Mikami.

　　 Because Ogata is facing their backs now, Kurunaga and Tobiru can't see what expression Ogata is now.

"That is to say..." Kuranaga whispered to Flying Ape with a volume that only he and Flying Monkey can hear, "Sakakihara Sword Museum...has been destroyed... Only Ogata-kun is still alive... …"

"Yes..." Toshiba sullen face, nodded, "Master, to celebrate Ogata-kun's recovery and Ogata-kun's title to be granted to you, all the masters and apprentices of Sakakibara Sword Museum gathered together tonight. Here ~www.wuxiahere.com~ is going to host a banquet......"

　　 "So... I was swept by a net... No one survived except Ogata-kun..."

　　 Kuranaga has a lot to say.

　　 But these few words that I wanted to spit out were stuck in Kuranaga's throat.

　　 In the end, it only turned into a long sigh.

　　While making a long sigh, Kuranaga looked at Ogata who was still holding Mikami who had passed away with a complicated gaze...

　　 Several hours later——

　　 Hirose Clan, Xuanzhen Temple.

　　 "Master Kongqing, I really have to trouble you."

　　 "My eldest man, wherever we go, helping the deceased to survive, this is what monks like us should do."

　　 Kuranaga bowed respectfully to an old monk wearing monk clothes in front of him.

　　Kura Yongdong used his personal connections to mobilize a large number of people and horses to move the deceased masters and apprentices of Sakura Sword Museum to their most famous Buddhist temple in the Hirose clan, Xuanzhen Temple.

　　 While burying the masters and apprentices of Sakura Sword Museum in Xuanzhen Temple, Cang Yong also invited the abbot of Xuanzhen Temple, Master Kong Qing, to recite sutras for the masters and apprentices of Sakahara Sword Museum.

　　 At that time, there were still some corpses of guards in Matsudaira Gen in the dojo.

　　 In order to take care of Ogata’s emotions, even though Kuranaga buried the bodies of these people in Xuanzhen Temple, he did not let Master Kongqing come to chant sutras for them.

　　 has been busy for several hours, from the night until the sky is bright, Cang Yongcai successfully completed the burial of all the victims of the tragedy of last night.

　　 After bidding farewell to Master Kongqing, Cang Yong walked along the stone brick ladder and left Xuanzhen Temple slowly.

　　 When halfway through the stone brick ladder, Kurunaga suddenly saw Ogata holding a sword and sitting on the first step not far in front.
