"I don't know if this is a clue or not. I hope this can bring you some help, Ogata-sama."
"Metaphysics Museum...?" Ogata chewed on the vocabulary for a while, and then said thank you sternly to Dieyin, "Thank you, this is very helpful to me."
"Ah, there's more." Dieyin stood up and walked slowly towards the cabinet on the side of the room.
After Dieyin opened the cabinet, he saw that the cabinet was filled with all kinds of clothes. It must be Dieyin's wardrobe.
After Dieyin rummaged in the closet for a while, she pulled out a piece of yellowed paper.
"This is a map of Kyoto."
Choyin handed the piece of paper to Ogata.
"It was given to me by a previous guest."
"The guest claims to be a wanderer who enjoys traveling around the world and likes to draw maps."
"I really don't know what this guest is thinking. He actually gave me, a wandering girl who can't even get out of Shimabara, a map of Kyoto..."
"There is no use keeping this map, so I gave it to Ogata-sama."
"This map should be very useful to you, Ogata-sama."
"Thank you, this is really useful for me, a foreigner who is completely unfamiliar with Kyoto... huh?"
Ogata's peripheral vision suddenly noticed a color that was very familiar to him in Dieyin's wardrobe.
"Miss Dieyin." Ogata pointed towards the very familiar color, "Can you bring me that feather fabric?"
"Ah? That's okay. This was given to me by a previous customer. That customer was also a very strange customer... He gave me such a piece of clothing that doesn't fit me at all..."
Dieyin took out the feather fabric placed at the bottom of the wardrobe.
The color of this feather fabric is light onion.
After Dieyin handed the light green feather fabric to Ogata, Ogata unfolded it.
After looking over it and confirming that the haori suit him, Ogata said sternly to Dieyin:
"Miss Dieyin, can you sell this feather fabric to me?"
"Eh? Ogata-sama, do you want to wear it? It's summer now?"
"It's actually not very hot tonight. I saw a lot of people wearing feather fabrics on the street just now."
"That's right... Ogata-sama, why do you want this light green haori so suddenly?"
"There is no special reason." Ogata smiled slightly, "It's just because--I prefer the light onion color. Wearing it can make you more energetic."
"Another important reason is that I prefer wearing a haori. When I wear a haori, I can be more energetic."
"Miss Dieyin, please make an offer."
"That's it..."
After muttering, Dieyin smiled slightly.
"Ogata-sama, I'll give this haori to you. The size of this dress doesn't suit me either."
"I have never worn it since that customer gave it to me. Rather than gathering dust in the closet, it would be better to give it to you, Ogata-sama."
"Eh? Give it to me? This..."
Ogata wanted to say something else, but Dieyin interrupted first:
"Ogata-sama, please accept it with peace of mind. It's not a very precious thing anyway. If you can accept it, my family will be happier and it will save some space in the wardrobe."
"Then...I'll accept it."
After putting on this light green feather fabric,

Although Ogata mainly used Sakakihara's Ichitō-ryu when fighting against the seven bounty hunters just now, he also used the step-step, blade counter and Shiranui-ryu's jutsu to assist him in killing the enemy.
For example: when killing the last person, Ogata used the force-removing technique of Shiranui-ryu jujutsu to directly destroy the enemy's center of gravity, and then easily killed the opponent.
Ogata's various experience bars are almost full, so the battle just now against seven bounty hunters gave Ogata a lot of gains.
After upgrading the Source's Calling Thorn and Waterfall and knocking down the last four enemies, Ogata's personal level was successfully upgraded to another level and he gained 1 skill point.
Ogata has already made plans for which martial arts skills he will mainly cultivate.
Sakakihara's Itto-ryu mainly trains the two moves of "Bird Stab" and "Waterfall".
The self-less two-sword style mainly cultivates the dodge skill "step", the defensive skill "blade counterattack", the attack skill "flow", and the "breath of the source" that can help him enter the realm of selflessness.
In the previous battle of "one versus seven", Ogata upgraded "Breath of the Source" to a high level.
The difference between advanced and intermediate levels of "Breath of the Source" can be described as worlds apart.
After upgrading "Breath of the Source" to the advanced level, Ogata's "Reflex Nerve" will be temporarily increased by 5 points when entering the state of Breath of the Source, and the improvement will be greatly improved.
Not only that, a new attribute has also appeared: "increased concentration".
To put it simply, after Ogata enters the state of source breathing, he can not only improve his reflex nerves, but also improve his concentration, entering a state where he is concentrated and not easily disturbed by the outside world - of course, this state is different from that of the outside world.
It is really a "state of selflessness" without any distracting thoughts, but it is still far away.
After experiencing the power of the advanced "Breath of the Source", Ogata understood more and more why Genichi Kinoshita said that "Breath of the Source" was his proud work in this life. It was simply a breathing technique tailor-made for combat.
As for Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu, it mainly cultivates "Shiranui-ryu jujutsu" that can be a good assist when fighting with others.
If you want to master the master-level "flow", you must first master the master-level "blade counterattack".
To master the master-level "Blade Counter", you must first have 12 points of strength and 11 points of agility.
Ogata's two attributes happen to be a bit lacking.
Ogata, who planned to upgrade the two moves of "Blade Counter" and "Flow" to the master level next, called out the system, and then added the few skill points he currently possessed to "Agility".
[Ding! Agility +1]
[Current agility value: 11 points]
[Currently remaining skill points: 0 points]
After finishing adding points, Ogata turned around and said seriously to Dieyin:
"Miss Dieyin, thank you for your help. Goodbye."
After saying that, Ogata rushed towards the window next to him without any hesitation, and then jumped out of the window nimbly.
When Ogata turned around and left, Dieyin had already knelt on the ground and bowed to Ogata with the utmost respect.
After Ogata's figure completely disappeared from his field of vision, Dieyin whispered softly into the air in front of him where Ogata's figure was no longer around:
"Lord Ogata, I wish you good luck in martial arts."
…
…
When he jumped from the window on the second floor of Yoshi's house, he instantly attracted the attention of many passers-by outside Yoshi's house or the wandering girls in the nearby wandering girl's house.
Amid screams, Ogata landed steadily.
The moment his feet touched the ground, Ouri ran towards Shimabara's gate like a bottomed out spring.
Because Ogata's movements were so fast, people nearby only saw a light green color and a series of afterimages.
After rushing out of Shimabara like an arrow from a string, Ogata slowed down slightly, turned his head, and discerned the direction.
At this moment, a somewhat astonished female voice sounded from not far away from Ogata:
"...Ayi...?"
Upon hearing this female voice, Ogata's pupils shrank slightly in shock.
He quickly looked around - he saw Omachi standing in a dark place not far away, with his beautiful eyes wide open, looking straight at Ogata who had just rushed out from Shimabara.
Beside Amachi, Ogata also saw a new friend he just met today - Fuma Kotaro.
"Atachi!"
Ogata called A-Machi's name loudly and ran towards A-Machi quickly.
How to reconnect with Amachi who lost contact - Ogata has always been worried about this matter.
I never imagined that it would be such a coincidence and such a smooth process that I could meet A-Machi again at the door of Shimabara.
Before Ogata could even rush to Amachi, Amachi rushed up and hugged Ogata.
"Huh?" Ogata was immediately stunned.
Then he quickly lowered his head and looked at A-Machi who was holding him with his head buried in his arms.
It's embarrassing to say - at this moment, Ogata realized that this seemed to be the first time he had been hugged by a woman since he came to the Edo period...
Just when Ogata, whose face turned slightly red, was wondering why Omachi was so bold all of a sudden——
"It smells so good..."
A cold voice without any emotion sounded from Ogata's arms.
"It's the scent of a woman..."
Ogata felt that all the muscles in his body were tense at this moment.
Atachi slowly raised her little head from Ogata's arms.
The cold gaze from his eyes, without any trace of superfluous emotion, pierced Ogata's face straight.
"Ogata Issei-sama is really very leisurely."
"He was wanted by the whole city, chased by all the officials and bounty hunters in Kyoto Prefecture, and yet he was still able to walk around the flower street with such arrogance."
"Just now I was anxious about not knowing your whereabouts, and I swore to Mr. Fuma that you were not the kind of person to go shopping in Flower Street at this juncture. What a fool I was."
After saying that, A-Machi slowly let go of the hands that were hugging Ogata.
"Wait a minute! Please listen to my explanation!"
…
…
After Ogata pulled Atachi and Fuuma into a nearby alley where few people passed by, he explained the ins and outs to Atachi in the shortest possible sentences.
At the same time, he also told A-Machi and Feng Mo about the clues he received from Dieyin: the disciples of the Metaphysics Hall seemed to be acting strangely.
"...That's what happened. I sat at Yoshiya's place for a while, rested for a while, and then came out after receiving this Haori and Kyoto map from the wandering girl named Dieyin."
After listening quietly to Ogata explaining everything, Atachi, who had his arms folded, pondered and remained silent for a long time.
Fuuma, who had been watching the show since just now, also spoke up and said to Atachi:
"Komachi, I don't think Ogata-san is lying. If a person as strong as Ogata-san does something like that, it's impossible for him to finish it so quickly."
Although Ogata was very grateful to Fuma for speaking for him, for some reason, after hearing Fuma's words, he felt very subtle...
"...Okay." Ating sighed softly, "Master Fuma, what he said makes sense. What you just said should be true."
After hearing Atachi say that what Fuuma said just now makes sense, Ogata felt his mood become more subtle...
"So - Ayi, are you going to do what Makimura and the others did and find out who caused you to be wrongly accused?"
"That's right." A serious look slowly appeared on Ogata's face, "I plan to go to the Metaphysics Museum. I will directly question the boss of the Metaphysics Museum."
"...I'll go with you." Ating said seriously.
"It might be dangerous if you follow me," Ogata said in a half-joking tone.
"No matter how dangerous it is, can it still be as dangerous as when we went to Butterfly Island?" A-Machi also responded in a joking tone.
"I'll go with you too." Feng Mo said suddenly and coldly at this time.
Ogata had expected that Atachi would choose to act with him.
But Fuma followed him - this was something Ogata never expected.
"Master Fuuma, do you want to go with me?" Ogata asked.
"I'm quite old. Although I can no longer fight, I can still guide you." Fuma chuckled, "As a ninja who has lived in Kyoto for decades, I know Kyoto very well.
Are there any unknown shortcuts?"
"Master Fuma, are your legs and feet okay?"
Ogata still remembered what Fuma told him during the day today: He was injured up to his waist when he went out to buy things a while ago. Fortunately, he got the help of a kind-hearted person, otherwise he would not be able to return home.
"My legs and feet feel good today." Feng Mo touched his legs, "I can still take you to the metaphysics hall."
"...Okay then." Ogata nodded after hesitating for a moment.
"Ah Yi." At this moment, Ah Ding said, "Before setting off, I'll give you this."
After saying that, Atachi took Ogata's left hand and stuffed something into Ogata's big palm.
"This is...?" After taking a glance at the thing in his hand, Ogata's eyes widened.
"It's Kasumi Nagi." Amachi said, "I'll lend you this Kasumi Nagi for now. If you use it well, it will be the most powerful self-defense weapon in the world."
The thing lying in Ogata's palm at this moment is one of Atachi's pair of revolvers: Kasumi Nagi.
"I also have a handful of plain sakura, so it won't be a big inconvenience if I lend you Kasumi Nagi."
"Let me teach you how to load and use it."
Omachi threw a small bag towards Ogata.
"These are projectiles specially designed for Sosakura and Kasumi Nagi. Counting the 4 currently installed in Kasumi Nagi, you now have a total of 28. Although the number is not small, remember not to use them indiscriminately."
…
…
Omachi taught Ogata Kasumi Nagi step by step how to use it.
After seriously accepting Atachi's teachings, Ogata discovered that he had underestimated the two pistols Soura and Kasumi Nagi before.
After mastering Kasumi Nagi's use, Ogata had only one thought: These two guns are simply the black technology of this era!
After pouring out the special projectiles for Sozakura and Kasumi Nagi, Ogata discovered that the special projectiles for these two guns were not just smaller than other projectiles.
The special bullets used by Sosakura and Kasumi Nagi are a bit like the bullets of modern firearms on modern Earth, and are cylindrical in shape.
The method of use is the same as the modern revolver in Ogata's impression - press the projectile into the chamber, then cock the hammer to start shooting.
After firing one round, cock the hammer again, and then you can start firing the second round.
The rest of the firearms in this era were still in the "muzzleloader" period, and bullets and gunpowder had to be stuffed from the muzzle.
But Sozakura and Kasumi Nagi no longer need to load any gunpowder, they can just put the special projectiles into the rear barrel and shoot.
Sozakura and Kasumi Nagi are definitely regarded as the black technology of this era.
"...Omachi, your father is really a genius." Ogata sighed sincerely while hiding Kasumi Nagi behind the lapel of his kimono.
"When I learned from my father that these two guns do not need to be loaded with gunpowder, but only need to stuff special bullets into the barrels, I felt the same way." A faint look of reminiscence appeared on A-Machi's face, "This invention
It’s really great.”
"If we can try to correct the shortcomings such as the short range, too little power, and excessive production difficulty, maybe there will be no need for swords anymore." Amachi said in a half-joking tone.
"What a coincidence, I think so too." Ogata showed a meaningful smile and turned to look at Fuma, "Okay, let's go. Lord Fuma, please lead the way."
