In Ogata's room, Mamiya squatted beside the low cabinet he gave to Ogata yesterday, looking at the cabinet.
One of the table corners in this cabinet is in a completely damaged state.
After roughly looking up and down the damaged table corner, Mamiya turned his head and cast a helpless look at Ogata, who was standing beside him.
"I said - how did you sleep so that my cabinet collapsed? Did you practice your sword on top of the cabinet?"
Ogata, who was standing next to Mamiya, rubbed his lower back and said:
"Well... from a certain point of view, I am indeed practicing swordsmanship... Anyway, this is not important. Mamiya, can this cabinet still be repaired?"
"Okay, okay. I'll come back this afternoon to help you fix it."
After saying that, Mamiya stood up.
After getting up, Mamiya realized that something was missing in the room.
"Ogata-kun, where is your futon?"
"When I was drinking water under the futon yesterday, I accidentally knocked over the water glass." Ogata, who was still rubbing his lower back, replied without thinking, "The futon got wet, so I asked Omachi to wash it for me.
Bedding."
"Oh~~" Mamiya raised his eyebrows and cast a meaningful look at Ogata.
After looking Ogata up and down like this, Mamiya continued:
"Look carefully, Ogata, there are a lot of red bloodshot eyes in your eyes, and there are also dark circles."
"Well, I didn't sleep well last night."
After looking at Ogata several times with intriguing eyes, Mamiya walked out holding the knife at his waist.
"Okay, let's go have breakfast."
"After breakfast, we will go to the Buddhist temple. My lord, she seems to have something to say to us."
…
…
After a simple breakfast, everyone in Calabash House, as well as Ogata and Atachi, gathered in the Buddhist hall.
The Buddhist hall located in the center of the temple seems to be a place where everyone in the Calabash House specializes in discussing matters.
After everyone gathered, Lin announced to everyone straightforwardly:
"I told you last night - in order to reach Edo as quickly as possible, I decided to take the water route."
"So I'm going to leave here for a while."
"I'm going to arrange a boat."
"At the same time, I'm going to meet some old customers and talk about future cooperation."
"During my absence, you should eat well, drink water, sleep, and practice your sword."
"Kuro."
Lin turned her head and looked at Mamiya.
"Take good care of the house. It's still the same as before. During the time when I'm not here, I'll leave it to you to take care of."
"Yes." Mamiya bowed and said respectfully, "My lord, do you plan to go alone?"
"Well, it's just a trivial matter, so I don't need your following."
"That's all I have to say. Let's all disperse. I'll probably be back in a few days."
After saying that, Lin picked up her saber lying next to her and stood up.
As soon as Lin stood up, Ating suddenly raised his hand:
"Well...I have a small request."
"Request? Just say it."
"Can you lend me a more spacious room?" Atachi said, "I plan to set up a stove and build something."
"Stove?" Lin's face flashed with confusion, but she didn't ask any more questions.
After thinking for a while, he said:
"I have a lot of rooms here. If you see any vacant room, just take it and use it."
"If you want to set up a stove, pay attention to fire prevention. We are located in a mountain forest. If there is a fire, it will be troublesome."
"Yeah." A-Machi nodded vigorously, "Don't worry! I'm very experienced in how to arrange the stove and prevent the fire in the stove from catching fire!"
…
…
After gathering everyone in the Buddhist hall and briefly announcing these things, Lin left the temple with a knife in her hand.
After Rin left, Atachi began to look for a suitable and spacious enough room in this temple with many rooms.
After finding a room that suited her liking, Atachi pulled Ogata over and asked Ogata to help her move the gunpowder, ironware, and tools that she had bought for her from Fuma in Kyoto into this room.
After moving all the bags of extremely heavy things into the room, Ogata couldn't help but ask Atachi:
"Amachi, are you planning to make special projectiles for Sosakura and Kasumi Nagi in this room?"
When she was still in Kyoto, Amachi told Ogata that the reason why she asked Fuuma to buy this pile of materials for her was to replenish the special ammunition for Sozakura and Kasumi Nagi and make new ones.
The stuff comes out.
"That's right."
While wiping the sweat from his forehead from carrying this extremely heavy pile of things, Omachi continued:
"I'm going to transform this place into my workshop! I'll replenish the special projectiles for Sozakura and Kasumi Nagi here, and make a new weapon."
"New weapons? What kind of new weapons?"
"Well." A trace of childlike mischief appeared in A-Ting's eyes, "I'll tell you after I finish making this new weapon."
After saying that, Ogata turned around and walked out of the room.
However - as soon as Ogata turned around, he suddenly stopped as if he remembered something.
Noticing that Ogata suddenly paused for some reason, Atachi turned his head and cast a confused look at Ogata.
"Ayi, what's wrong?"
"...That..." Ogata's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ogata turned around again and looked at A-Machi.
However, as soon as his eyes fell on Amachi, he hurriedly looked away, as if he didn't dare to look directly at Amachi.
"Can you still come to my room tonight...?"
Ogata's eyes were wildly evasive. When he said this sentence, his voice became smaller and smaller. By the end, his voice became like a mosquito's hum.
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Omachi was stunned for a moment.
Then, like Ogata just now, Omachi's little face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming even redder than Ogata, as if he was about to bleed.
"...I already went to your room last night. I won't go there tonight..."
After being silent for a while, A-Machi said in a low voice.
It may be an exaggeration to say this... but after hearing these words from Omachi, Ogata really felt as if thunder and lightning were exploding in his mind...
Just when a look of frustration appeared on Ogata's face...
"So... you can come to my room alone tonight..."
"I will eat and take a shower as quickly as possible tonight!"
Ogata's answer was so fast, it was like a conditioned reflex.
…
...let's play with it
Lin went to prepare the ship for Edo. Until she prepared the ship, all of them had to temporarily stay in this temple and wait for Lin's return.
When will Lin come back? Not even Lin herself knows.
But all in all, it will definitely take some time for Li Lin to prepare the ship for Edo.
And Ogata was not prepared to waste this time.
The "Battle of Nijo Castle Castle" in Kyoto was Ogata's first exposure to the top combat power of Shiranui.
That battle was a reminder to Ogata: Shiranui is not an easy persimmon!
Without enough strength, there is no way to compete with Shiranui.
Although Ogata has gained the ability to enter the "selfless realm" by his own will after "Breath of the Source" was promoted to "Master Level", Ogata still dare not be careless.
After all, "Selfless Realm" is a killer move that can only be used at the most critical moment.
Therefore, Ogata plans to do his best to gain experience points and improve his level while Lin is preparing for the ship to Edo!
If you want to gain experience points, you must first find an "experience gainer".
Omachi is busy making special projectiles and new weapons for Sosakura and Kasumi Nagi.
Therefore, the only people Ogata can choose are Mamiya, Makimura, Asai, Shimada, and Genichi.
After only thinking for a moment, Xu quickly selected the most suitable person to serve as an "experience-gathering tool person"...
…
…
"Hmm? Exercise together?"
Shimada looked at Ogata in front of him in surprise.
Shimada was in his room just now, practicing drawing a sword against the air in front of him.
Just as I was getting into the practice area, I heard a voice outside the door, "Is anyone here?"
It was Ogata's voice.
When he opened the door and looked outside, he saw Ogata with a smile on his face.
After Ogata saw Shimada, he said directly to Shimada: Shimada, let's exercise together.
After Shimada cast a surprised look at him, Ogata continued:
"I plan to take advantage of this period of time to do my best to improve my swordsmanship, jujitsu and other martial arts."
"There is no effect if you practice alone in front of the air, so I plan to find someone to practice with."
"How about it? Shimada, do you want to exercise with me?"
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Shimada replied without hesitation:
"You and I want to work together! I also plan to improve my martial arts during this period of time!"
"I also happen to feel that practicing alone in the air is ineffective!"
Seeing that Shimada agreed to his invitation to exercise, an intriguing smile appeared on Ogata's face.
…
…
The reason why Ogata chose Shimada to be his "experience-earning tool" is also very simple - Shimada is the weakest.
Although due to his weak strength, the experience points gained from defeating Shimada once will be relatively small.
But if the opponent is weak, from another perspective it means that you can defeat the opponent at a faster speed.
It takes a minute to defeat a certain guy, and you only get 150 experience points once you defeat him.
Although the other guy can only gain 100 experience points by defeating him once, he can be defeated within 10 seconds.
It is clear at a glance which of these two people is the most suitable for gaining experience.
This kind of person who can be defeated quickly by himself is the most suitable person to use to gain experience.
Shimada, carrying several wooden swords, led Ogata to a remote open space in the temple.
This remote open space is located in the northwest corner of the temple. It is not only spacious enough, but also quiet enough. It is a treasured place that is very suitable for discussing with others.
After arriving at this open space, Shimada said to Ogata impatiently:
"Lord Ogata! Let's get started! What should we practice first? Swordsmanship? Or hand-to-hand combat?"
"Unarmed combat." Ogata responded without hesitation, "Shimada, do you know unarmed combat?"
"Humph." Shimada smiled, "I'm not boasting, my hands are pretty good."
"Oh? Shimada, you actually know how to do it."
"Yeah. It's just that I'm not very proficient."
Tangshou - the prototype of later modern Japanese karate.
Among the three major martial arts that Ogata currently possesses - Sakakibara one-sword style, Wuga two-sword style, and Shiranui-style ninjutsu, Shiranui-style ninjutsu currently requires the least amount of experience points to upgrade.
So Ogata plans to upgrade the Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu first and get 2 skill points first.
After finishing a simple warm-up with Shimada, Ore and Shimada got into a stance.
Shimada prepared the starting stance of Tang Hand.
And Ogata also laid out the starting stance of Shiranui-ryu jujutsu.
After setting up the starting position, Ogata opened his personal system interface and checked his current "Shiranui-ryu Ninjutsu" level and experience value.
——Do you still need 290 experience points to upgrade...
After confirming the current level and experience value of Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu, Ogata closed the personal system interface, raised his body and mind, and stared at Shimada in front of him with all his concentration.
The two did not confront each other for too long.
After only a few breaths, Shimada launched the first attack.
Shimada used the kiai skills in swordsmanship in Tang's hands.
While letting out an astonishing kiai, he waved his fist and hit Ogata in the face.
Looking at Shimada's fist that blew out bursts of wind, Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.
Just as Shimada's fist was about to hit Ogata's face, Ogata quickly turned his head away.
Grab, grab, grab. The speed at which Ogata turned his head away was even faster than Shimada's punch.
After quickly dodging Shimada's fist, Ogata opened his arms, hugged Shimada's right arm, and threw Shimada to the ground in one breath.
"Your level of Tang hand is very high."
While Ogata helped Shimada up after being thrown to the ground, he praised Shimada sincerely.
"Thanks for the compliment, but Ogata-sama, your jujitsu skills are even better. Come on, let's continue!"
After being instantly killed by Ogata, Shimada did not show any discouragement, but patted the dust on his body, showing a more fighting spirit.
The two regained their stance and conducted the second competition.
This second test is no different from the first test.
Shimada was the first to attack, and was instantly knocked down by Ogata.
Ogata's Shiranui-ryu ninjutsu is only one step away from reaching the fifth level.
After knocking Shimada down for the second time, a much longer system sound sounded in Ogata's brain:
嘘戅戅.
After the second sparring session, Ogata started a third sparring session with Shimada.
After the third competition ended, Ogata finally heard the system sound he wanted to hear most now:
*******
