Back in time, Ogata and others received hospitality from Kinnosuke and were about to spend the night in Kinnosuke's mansion——
According to what Kinnosuke said - he had a wife and a son.
My wife passed away due to illness almost five years ago, and my son turned into a cannibal almost six months ago.
The white-haired man gave the black-haired man Kinnosuke away. In this huge mansion, there was only one maid who had worked for their family for many years who was still with him - after being questioned by Amachi in the storage room.
The maid who was knocked unconscious directly.
As for the maid who was knocked unconscious by Omachi, she woke up leisurely not long after Konnosuke led Ogata, Mamiya and others back home.
After waking up, he learned from Konnosuke that the person who knocked him unconscious would stay here for one night, and he almost passed out again...
…
…
"Lord Ogata, Miss Atachi."
While Konnosuke opened the sliding paper door of an empty room on the third floor, he said to Ogata and Amachi behind him.
"You two can sleep here tonight."
"This room was originally my son's room."
Speaking of this, a touch of memory and sadness appeared on Konnosuke's face.
"Although this room has not been occupied for a while, I have always asked the maid to clean this room, so this room is still relatively clean."
"I will ask the maid to deliver the bedding for the two of you later."
"Let us sleep in your son's room..." A look of hesitation appeared on Ogata's face, "Would this be... not good? This room carries many memories about your son, and this room means a lot to you.
It should be a very important room, right?"
"Hahaha." Konnosuke laughed heartily a few times, "Don't worry, a room is just a room. The function of a room is to make people live in it."
Konnosuke raised his hand and tapped his forehead.
"All the memories I have about my son are stored here. It doesn't matter what this room looks like."
"Have a good night's rest in this room. I'm quite happy to be able to make this long-abandoned room useful again."
"Then - I'll ask the maid to bring the bedding and take my leave first."
After that, Konnosuke left the room without any hesitation and closed the sliding door.
In the huge room, only Ogata and Atachi were left.
Ogata looked around.
Because this room was originally the room of Konnosuke's only son, it can be said to be outstanding in terms of size and luxury.
All kinds of furniture are available, and a screen is placed in the corner for decoration.
There is also a window in this room.
Waves of faint wailing sounds were constantly coming into the room through the wide open window.
Ogata walked slowly to the window and followed the wailing one after another.
The person who made these wails one after another was none other than Sotaro, who was tied to a wooden post by the villagers.
Leping, the village doctor of Fenghe Village, simply bandaged the wound on Sotaro's broken arm.
After waiting for Sotaro's treatment to end, the villagers immediately tied Sotaro tightly to a wooden post specially prepared for him, and then beat him crazily with sticks or fists.
Sotaro and others have been asking them to "borrow rice" and kidnapped four young people from their village. One of the young people has been brutally poisoned by them. If the other three young people were not rescued by Ogata today, otherwise
I'm afraid the future will be full of misfortunes.
Although Fenghe Village is self-enclosed with wooden walls, some young people are occasionally sent out to pick wild vegetables on weekdays to ease the food pressure within the wall.
These four young men were accidentally caught by Sotaro and others when they went out to pick wild vegetables. As a result, the villagers of Fenghe Village did not even dare to leave the wooden wall from then on, and the villagers were unable to even eat wild vegetables.
All in all - Sotaro and his gang have committed countless crimes against the villagers of Toyowa Village.
There is no villager in Fenghe Village who does not hate Sotaro and his gang.
This guy who is usually extremely arrogant and arrogant has now fallen into their hands - they naturally want to "entertain" this guy well.
This year, everyone inside the wooden wall has been living in a very depressed state.
Now that Sotaro was a channel to vent his stress, almost all the villagers came to "warmly greet" Sotaro.
Until now, Sotaro, who has been beaten into a pig's head, is still receiving the "warm hospitality" of the villagers.
Kinnosuke's residence was some distance away from the wooden pillar where Sotaro was tied up. Even so, Ogata could still hear Sotaro's screams - one can imagine how enthusiastic the villagers were.
After taking a cursory glance at Sotaro outside, Oubi withdrew his gaze and looked at Omachi, who was taking off his socks in the room.
A-Machi doesn't seem to like wearing socks very much. Once she has the opportunity to take off her socks, she will definitely take them off.
"...What are you doing?" After taking off the socks on both feet, Atachi cast a helpless look at Ogata, who had been looking at her straightly since just now, "I just took off my footbags, and
If you're not taking off your clothes, why are you looking at me like this?"
"...Omachi, let me tell you..." Ogata sighed softly, "It's about time you cheered up, right?"
"From the time that Sotaro appeared until now, you have always looked depressed."
Speaking of this, Ogata paused suddenly.
Because he suddenly recalled what Sotaro had said to A-Machi before...
"Omachi..." Ogata said softly, "Is it because what Soutaro said to you made you unhappy...?"
"...So be it."
Sitting on the tatami, Atachi raised his legs and hugged his legs.
"That Sotaro said I was a low-class, useless ninja..."
"Although I hate this title, but... I have to admit that this title is actually not wrong..."
"Ayi... the two of us have been working together for so many days, you should have vaguely realized it..."
"I... am not a very powerful ninja... Not only am I not powerful, I can also be described as very weak and substandard... I don't even have the basic qualities that a ninja should have - abandoning shame."
"If it were other ninjas, if they were faced with a situation like the day before yesterday where they were holding their urine to escape the pursuit of the ogres, they would definitely run away and pee without hesitation..."
"But I couldn't bear to do this kind of thing... In the end, I made a joke about peeing on your back..."
"You're stupid... I obviously got quite a bit of information at the same time as you, but you discovered early that there was something wrong with Zonghai and the water of the Linong River."
"But I was so stupid that I didn't notice any clues..."
"My abilities are not good either... Among the four techniques in Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu, except for jujutsu which is passable, I don't have any technique that is up to standard in our Shiranui style..."
