"A-cho, let's go." Ogata said, "Let's work harder and see if we can reach Honan-cho before dark."
When picking up the horse just now, Ogata asked the crew: where is the nearest city from here.
Compared to sleeping in the wild, Ogata naturally wanted to spend the night in the city town.
Especially in this situation where I have been drifting at sea for several days, I want to spend the night in a place with hot water for bathing and tatami mats for sleeping.
According to the crew, there happened to be a small town nearby - walk straight along the path in the southeast direction, walk two and a half miles (about 10 kilometers), and you will reach a small town called "Fengnan Town" .
Just when Ogata and A-Ming were about to sit on Carrot and Grape's horses, a loud shout suddenly reached their ears.
"Master Yi Dao Zhai!"
"Huh?" Ogata followed the prestige - two figures rushed out from the bushes in the distance.
These two are Isshiki Naoki and Isshiki Ryoma.
The shout just now was exactly what Isshiki Naoshu yelled.
Ogata, who narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the two who had just hidden in the bushes: "It's you, what's the matter?"
As Ogata spoke, he secretly raised his vigilance, and was ready...to draw his sword at any time to deal with various emergencies.
"Master Yidao Zhai." Quickly running to Ogata's body, Isshiki said straight and straight, "My grandson and I have spoken rudely to you before, please forgive me and my grandson for being rude to you before!"
After all, Isshiki Naoshu bowed 90 degrees to Ogata very respectfully.
And Isshiki who was standing beside Naoshu, after hesitating for a while, finally slowly bowed 90 degrees to Ogata like his grandfather did—but when he bowed to Ogata, his face With a bit of reluctance.
Ogata turned sideways, not being greeted by Naoshu and the others.
The disrespectful words Naosuke received probably refer to the previous incident when Isshiki argued with him about "whether swordsmanship should be eliminated".
Isshiki was fine, but Naosuke was an old man with white beard and hair after all, and Ogata always felt a little weird for an old man of this age to give him such a big gift.
"You don't need to apologize to me. I don't care about such trivial things." Ogata said lightly, "You guys hid it specially, and waited for me to get off the boat. It shouldn't be just to apologize to me, right? Is there anything else you want to tell me? Please speak as soon as possible."
Seeing what Ogata said, Naosuke froze for a moment, and then a solemn look appeared on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Since Ogata went straight to the point, he also cut to the chase.
"Master Yidao Zhai, I can't wait, I would like to invite you to come to Osaka, to our sword gym! Be the master of swordsmanship in our sword gym!"

Today's physical condition is not very good, so the number of words today is slightly less.
This final volume is really long. It’s been almost a month since the final volume was written, and my daily updates are not small, but until now, the plot of the final volume... can only be regarded as just unfolding...
So those who are used to waiting for me to finish writing a volume before starting to read it may have to wait for nearly half a year (Leopard head laughs.jpg)
Chapter 598 About asking Ogata to overthrow the Edo shogunate 【5200】
At this moment, a lot of questions emerged from Ogata's mind.
——Fencing teacher?me?Want me to be your swordsmanship teacher in the sword gym?
—Are you out of your mind...?Do you want me, the most wanted criminal in the shogunate, to be your sword gym teacher?
Ogata couldn't help but look at Naosu with a weird look because he wondered if there was something wrong with his head.
Although Ogata's reputation among the people is not bad, but in the eyes of the shogunate and the court, Ogata is undoubtedly the "number one terrorist".
Not to mention asking Ogata to be their swordsmanship teacher, just providing Ogata with a hiding place, or providing Ogata with other help, the shogunate may not be able to spare you.
Ogata resisted the urge to question Naoshu, "You're not sick in the head", and cleared his throat:
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of becoming a swordsmanship teacher."
After saying that, Ogata grabbed the turnip's rein, and was about to bypass Naoshu and Ryoma.
Regardless of how busy Ogata is now, even if Ogata is very free now, he will not be a swordsmanship teacher-after all, he has no interest in being a swordsmanship teacher in a sword gym.
Just when Ogata was about to bypass Naoshu and Ryoma, Naoki hurriedly stopped Ogata again.
"Sorry! I was the one who was rude just now!" Zhi Zhou said anxiously, "The 'sword gym' I just mentioned is not an ordinary sword gym!"
"I hope that the swordsmanship teacher you serve as is not an ordinary swordsmanship teacher!"
Ogata raised his eyebrows: "Not an ordinary swordsmanship teacher?"
"Yes! Master Yi Dao Zhai! Can you spare a moment? Let me explain to you slowly!"
When Zhizhou was about to say something more, Xu Fangfang waved his hand first to stop him from continuing.
"No need. I have no interest in being a swordsmanship teacher. No matter how different you want me to be as a 'swordsmanship teacher', I will not change my mind."
"Please leave, if you continue to be entangled - I am not a very good-tempered person."
After giving Zhi Zhou a mild warning, Ogata pulled the rein again, ready to bypass Zhi Zhou.
Seeing that Ogata refused to enter, Naoki froze.
When Ogata was about to grab the rein and pass by Naoshu, Naoshu gritted his teeth.
"Please! Please spare some time for me to explain to you!"
"I assure you—it won't take you too long!"
Naoshu ran quickly to Ogata's body again, then knelt down on the ground in the position of Dogezaza, with his forehead pressed against the ground.
Dogeza is the highest level of etiquette in Japan, and Ogata couldn't help being surprised to see Naoshu perform this highest level of etiquette to him.
In Ogata's memory, this was the first time an old man of this age made such a big gift to him.
Out of respect for the old man, Ogata subconsciously turned sideways to avoid Naoshu's salute.
He just wanted to go over and help Naosuke up, when his grandson Isshiki Ryoma rushed to Naosuke's side step by step.
"Grandpa! What are you doing?"
Naoshu who suddenly knelt on the ground surprised Isshiki too.
Although Zhizhou is old, but his strength is not weak at all, Yishi went to help him, but he couldn't lift him up immediately.
"Master Yi Dao Zhai."
Naoshu raised his head and looked up at Ogata.
"It's really just a waste of your time, please. Please listen to me."
Ogata met Naosuke who was looking up at him.
Naosuke's eyes...the passion contained in them seems to be able to burn through rocks.
This passionate feeling was so strong that it seemed to have turned into a real flame, burning blazingly in Zhi Zhou's eyes.
Ogata couldn't help being stunned because he seldom saw such a look in his eyes.
Ogata just stared at Naoshu.
After a while——Ogata sighed softly: "...well, since you've done this, I'll listen to you."
"But we need to talk in another place. If we talk in this wilderness, I'm afraid my wife and I won't be able to reach the city before dark."
"I plan to go to Fengnan Town not far from here. If you have anything to say, let's wait until Fengnan Town."
"Yes!" Zhi Zhou looked excited, "Thank you so much!"
Naoki hurriedly stood up from the ground, his face was flushed with excitement and excitement.
And just when Naosuke stood up——
rustling.
There was the sound of bushes being pushed aside.
Along with this rustling sound, there is also a childish female voice full of eagerness:
"Wait, wait a minute! Lord Yidao Zhai!"
The bushes not a short distance away from Ogata were roughly pushed aside, and a small face poked out from the pushed bushes—it was Azuki.
Probably because of her anxiety, she was eager to get out of the bushes, and "escaped" from the bushes by rolling and crawling.
"Master Yidao Zhai! I also have something to tell you!"
"Can you spare a moment to listen to me, too?"
After finishing speaking, Azuku paused, and then knelt down on the ground in the position of Dogeza just like Naoshu just now.
Azuki: O(≧口≦)O "Please!"
Azukumoto also hid like Naoki and the others, waiting for Ogata to disembark.
But she was one step too late.
Naoshu and Ryoma rushed out of the bush where they were hiding one step ahead of Azuku.
Azhu didn't know until then that someone was hiding in the bushes like her, waiting for Ogata to appear.
Until the two of them took the lead on A Zhu, although A Zhu was unwilling to do so, he could only wait silently.Waiting for Ogata and Naoki to finish their conversation.
Fortunately, the conversation between Ogata and Naoki didn't take long, and Azuki soon waited for the opportunity to appear.
Azuki's Dogeza at this time is actually imitating Naoshu.
Although the place where she just hid was a little far away from Ogata and the others, she could barely hear what they were talking about.
She clearly saw and heard——Ogata finally let go after Naosuke was forced to step down from his seat.
——Ogata Ittosai may not be good at dealing with people who are coming towards him!
Azuki said with eyes shining brightly.
Azuki, who felt that he had harvested a very useful piece of information, could not wait to use Dogeza on Ogata after he appeared from behind the bushes.
Looking at Azuki who suddenly jumped out and was kneeling in front of him, Ogata was speechless now.
——Why did another one pop up... Do you have something to say to me... Why do you all have to wait until you get off the boat before swarming to find me... Do you have to tell me something that you can't let me know? Too many idlers waiting to hear things...
Ogata complained silently in his heart.
Compared with Naoshu, Ogata still knows what Azhu wants to say to him——Ogata guessed that Azhu probably wanted to ask him "Why did you master luck so quickly", "Did you learn it before?" I'm lucky" and the like.
After getting off that pirate ship, the feeling of tiredness that came from the bottom of my heart has not completely dissipated from Ogata's body until now.
This feeling of tiredness makes Ogata, who doesn't want to bother to deal with their stalking, feel like "You have something to say too" If you want to talk to me, then just say it, anyway, one more is not too much, and one less is not much" mentality like self-defeating.
"...Then Azuki, you can come with me too." Ogata sighed softly, "But I'm talking first—don't waste too much of my time."
"Okay! No problem!" Azhu said excitedly, "I will never waste your time too much!"
——Ogata Ittosai is really not good at dealing with people who put him under Dogeza!
A Zhu said excitedly in his heart.
……
……
Before the sky completely darkened, Ogata and the others finally arrived at Toyonan Town.
Just like what the crew of the stowaway ship told Ogata before——Honan Town is a small town.
After entering this Fengnan town, the first feeling that Ogata gave was "lack of vitality".
This is probably also a common problem of this small town with a lack of population.
But although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.Fengnan Town is small, but the hotels inside are still very complete.
They range from cheap hotels with fleas and bugs infested with tatami and futons, to upscale hotels with their own baths.
Ogata did not hesitate to choose the most upscale hotel with its own bathhouse.
As for the reason, it is also very simple - Ogata now has no human skin mask, and he can no longer freely enter and leave places like bathhouses where he must be completely naked.
So if he wanted to take a bath, Ogata could only rent a hotel with its own bathhouse.
After opening the room and having a hasty dinner, Ogata, Acho, and Atsuki sat opposite each other in the hotel room Ogata opened with Naoshu and Isshiki.
"Okay, Mr. Isshiki, if you have anything to say to me, please do so quickly." Ogata said lightly.
Adhering to the concept of "first come, first served", Ogata decided to let Naoshu and the others be the first, and Azuki the second.
After Naoshu solemnly nodded his head in agreement, he turned his eyes and glanced at Machi who was sitting on Ogata's left side, and Azuki who was sitting on Ogata's right side very familiarly for some reason.
