I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Isshiki's eyeballs... now seem to be falling out of their eye sockets at any moment...

She widened her eyes and stared at Ogata who was striding towards the bathing pool stupidly.

It wasn't until nearly half of Ogata's body entered the pool that Isshiki finally raised his hands, crossed his hands to cover his chest, and then turned around suddenly, turning his back to Ogata like a conditioned reflex. .

"Huh?" Ogata looked at Isshiki who suddenly turned his back with a strange expression, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's okay!" At this moment, Yishi's mind has become a mess, panicking and perfunctory.

Although Isshiki said "it's okay", Ogata still looked at Isshiki's back suspiciously.

After a while, the doubt on his face turned into a sudden realization.

Is he not used to "being honest" with others?

It is often seen in the bathhouse that such people do not like to "be honest" with others, especially do not want others to see their private parts.

After silently concluding that Isshiki turned his back because of this, Ogata no longer paid much attention to the question of "why Isshiki turned his back", silently looked away, and began to concentrate on enjoying the bath.

Ogata is enjoying it now, while Isshiki is suffering at this time. The two are taking a bath in the same pool, and they have two completely different experiences.

What's going on, what's going on? !

Isshiki's cheeks were frighteningly white at the moment due to nervousness, fright, fear and other emotions.

Why is it that, why is Ogata Ittosai here?Isn't this a women's bath?

Is he here to spy?

Isshiki couldn't help turning his head to look at Ogata behind him.

Now about 7 steps away from her, Ogata, who was facing her back to her, was calmly enjoying the immersion in the just-right temperature of the pool.

Isshiki quickly made up his mind. If Ogata was really here to spy, it would be impossible for him to sit in the pool so calmly.

And if he saw her in the women's bath who should have appeared in the men's bath, Ogata should be shocked.

So... a terrible idea emerged in Isshiki's mind.

"I-I said..."

Isshiki's voice trembled slightly despite his efforts to control it.

"This is... the men's bath... right?"

"Huh?" Ogata turned his head to look at Isshiki again, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Of course this is a men's bath. If it wasn't a men's bath, why would you and I be here?"

Did I go to the wrong place? ! !

Isshiki screamed in his heart.

Isshiki realized that he had gone to the men's bath by mistake, and his face became even paler.

But, but... I remember when I came in just now, the curtain of the women's bath was lifted...!

Now how to do? !

When Isshiki's mind was still in a muddled state, trying to think about what to do now, Ogata suddenly said:

"By the way, where's your grandpa? Didn't your grandpa come to take a bath with you?"

"Ah? Eh... I, my grandpa has already washed it early..." Isshiki, who is now in a state of shock, hurriedly said.

"Is that so..." After Ogata finished asking this question, he didn't ask any other questions, and fell silent.

He doesn't seem to have discovered my real gender yet...

Isshiki, who was still covering his chest with his hands crossed, turned his head again and looked at Ogata behind him.

At this time, Yishi also gradually calmed down.

The head that regained its thinking ability also gradually sorted out the current situation, and drew up the most suitable countermeasures for the current situation.

Now there is no one else here except me and Ogata Yidaosai...

As long as Ogata Ittosai can leave here, it will be fine.

As long as he can leave here, I can also take the opportunity to escape.

Is there any way to get Ogata Ittosai out of here... Huh?

At this time, Isshiki opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and his head was temporarily interrupted.

Because of the heavy mist, Isshiki didn't realize that there were many scars on Ogata's back until now.

Knife wounds, penetrating wounds, new wounds, old wounds... all kinds of wounds.

Due to these large and small injuries, Ogata's entire back became as bumpy as the muddy ground after the rain.

Well... amazing injuries...

It was the first time Isshiki saw a person with so many injuries on his body.

There are so many injuries on his back alone, so how many injuries are there in the rest of his body...

Isshiki couldn't help thinking like this.

As the granddaughter of the owner of the sword gym, she can be said to have been born and raised in the sword gym.

Growing up in the sword gym, she has long been used to seeing men's naked upper bodies. The apprentices of the same color sword gym often take off their upper body clothes after practicing swords, and then directly use the well water in the courtyard of the sword hall to scrub. Body.

Isshiki often handed them towels and water.

Almost everyone in their sword gym, including her grandfather and her father, had almost no injuries on their upper bodies.Even if there were injuries, they were just some bruises accidentally hit by the wooden sword during the wooden sword practice.

There was only one person with a big scar on his chest. This person was an old apprentice in their sword gym who had been studying for many years.

He once fought against a drunken warrior on the street, and before the match was over, the encounter had to be stopped because of the arrival of officials.

Although there was no victory or defeat, the drunk man managed to leave a deep scar on the man's chest. This is how the scar on the man's chest came about.

Ever since this wound appeared on his chest, this person often used it to show off to others!Do you see it!I am a person who has conducted real combat!

For some reason, Isshiki really wants to catch this guy who just has a scar on his chest and shows it off everywhere, and let him see Ogata's body, your little scar, compared to Ogata Yidaosai , what a fart!

Really worthy of being... the unparalleled Ogata Yidaosai...

How many death battles do you have to go through to have such a scarred body...

In addition to killing the tyrant in Gennai Matsudaira and breaking the Nijo Castle in Kyoto, he must have fought many fierce death battles that I don't know...

Isshiki looked at Ogata, and the emotions contained in it gradually became complicated.

This is... the best body a true samurai should have...

In Isshiki's eyes, Ogata's bruised body is the body that a swordsman and a samurai should have.

Isshiki has always had an aversion to that kind of samurai with a clean body and no scars.

At this moment, Ogata vaguely noticed that Isshiki behind him seemed to be looking at him, so he turned his head to meet Isshiki's four eyes who were still staring at his scarred back.

"What's wrong?" Ogata asked.

"Ah, it's nothing..." It's very impolite to keep staring at others, but Ogata found out about her little gesture, which made Isshiki's pale cheeks turn red with embarrassment, "I This is the first time I saw a person with so many injuries, so I was a little surprised..."

"Hahaha." Ogata chuckled a few times, "I'm sorry, these injuries on my body scared you, right?"

Isshiki shook his head: "No. On the contrary, I think your bruised body is great. I think all samurai should be like you, with countless injuries on their bodies. In my eyes, a samurai with thin skin and tender flesh is not warrior."

"Thank you for the compliment." Ogata smiled, "This is the first time I've heard someone praise my injuries."

"It would be great if all the apprentices in our sword hall are here now." Isshiki continued, "In this way, we can let them see what kind of body a real warrior should have."

"You are a little too strong." Ogata said with a helpless smile, "In this peaceful world, there are not many opportunities to use swords and guns. People like me with a lot of injuries are purely different."

Although Ogata and Isshiki only chatted a few words, the awkward atmosphere between the two dissipated a little.

Isshiki's flustered heart was a little calmer now.

Think about it carefully... now is a good opportunity.

Isshiki muttered.

Right now it's just me and Ogata Ittosai here...

If I don't take this opportunity to vomit quickly, I will definitely not be reconciled in the future...

Isshiki made up his mind and took several deep breaths. After calming down, he asked Ogata:

"That, that..."

Ogata: "Huh?"

"Thank you..." Isshiki lowered his head slightly, "Thank you for saving me today..."

Today, when meeting those pirates, if Ogata hadn't appeared in time and helped Isshi block the knife, Isshiki would have been in danger.

"It's okay." Ogata, who knew what Isshiki was thanking, smiled freely, "I just did what I should do."

"I was really deceived by you so badly..."

Having said that, Isshiki couldn't help casting a resentful look at Ogata.

"Your swordsmanship is clearly unparalleled in the world, but you still say that your swordsmanship is mediocre... You must be too modest..."

Having said that, Isshiki paused for a while, then changed to a volume that only she could hear clearly, and murmured in a low voice:

"Hit me...to say such embarrassing things..."

After finishing speaking, Isshiki's face slowly turned a strange red.

Thinking of the scene where Ogata said that he was "average in swordsmanship" on the boat today, Isshiki felt an unknown fire running around in his mind for some reason.

Especially after thinking about what she said to Ogata back then, "Call her when you are in trouble", the unknown fire that ran wild in her mind became more vigorous.

She doesn't hate humble people.

But in her eyes, excessive modesty seemed a bit hypocritical.

Isshiki thought that Ogata would say some polite words to perfunctory her.

But who knows that Ogata said seriously:

"I'm not being humble. I just honestly feel that I'm far from it."

"Huh?" Isshiki cast a surprised look at Ogata.

"I once...entered a wonderful state." Xu Fang showed the color of memory, and said slowly, "I feel that the whole body is integrated with the world."

"No matter the movement or movement of the surrounding things, the falling leaves of the trees, or the flying flowers dancing with the breeze, nothing can escape my eyes and ears."

"Even the way the enemy's bones and muscles move and the direction of blood flow, I can see clearly. Just by looking at the physical condition of the enemy's muscles and bones, I can see through all the enemy's subsequent movements, and then dodge calmly. "

"In that state, to put it bluntly, I felt like I was omnipotent, like a god who controlled the world."

"Because after entering this state, the whole world seems to be transparent and invisible, so one of my seniors named this state the transparent state."

"To this day, I haven't been able to fully comprehend the transparent state."

Having said that, Ogata raised his head and looked up at the ceiling above his head.

"And above the transparent realm, are there any new realms that have not been touched yet?"

Ogata shrugged, and changed into a half-joking tone:

"When I think about it, I feel that I'm still far behind. I'm just a frog in a well. In terms of swordsmanship, I might just be a rookie."

"It's a lie..." Yishi said in a daze, "Merge into one body with the world? Is this a lie?"

"I didn't lie to you." Ogata said, "I have entered this wonderful state twice. But until today, I still haven't figured out what the conditions are for entering this state."

If someone else told Yishi that there is such an incredible state, Yishi would definitely think that this person is a liar who can only brag.

However... the person who said such words was the well-known great swordsman Osu Fang Yidao Zhai.

This makes the credibility of these words soaring.

Transparency...is there such a miraculous state in this world...

Isshi suddenly and unconsciously recalled their apprentices at the Isshiki Sword Academy, as well as the other young heroes of the swordsmanship world she knew.

As the daughter of the Isshiki Sword Academy in Osaka, Isshiki naturally knows many young heroes who are well-known in the fencing world.

Those people she knew who were also learning swords were still thinking about how to hold the sword more tightly, but the man in front of her had reached a level beyond their comprehension, and he still raised his head, looking up above the sky...
