Chapter 507 Use A-Ding to exercise, use the system to improve swordsmanship 【Explosion 1W3】
I think that on the other side of the sea are mountains of flowers and mountains of gold, but I don’t know that there are also all kinds of unhappiness on the other side of the sea.

As soon as Chanup finished speaking, the surprised Xuefang immediately asked urgently:
"Kill him? Haven't you still determined whether he is a spy?"
"It is true that there is no direct evidence to prove that he is a spy." Chanup said slowly, "But similarly - there is no direct evidence to prove that he is not a spy, but an ordinary person."
"Some people think that it would be better to kill him by mistake than to let him go, so they propose to kill the old man directly without further investigation."
"And there are quite a few such people."
Having said this, Chanup took another puff of cigarette.
"And I personally don't agree with taking that old man's life so hastily."
"If you can prove that the old man is innocent and not a spy, then I will naturally welcome you."
"But it's better to go faster."
"There are so many people who suggest taking the old man's life directly that I can't ignore them."
"If it takes too long..."
After Chanup said this, he did not continue to say anything. He only showed a helpless smile and shrugged.
…
…
More than an hour later——
It's dinner time now.
Ogata and Omachi sat around a pot.
Today's dinner is being cooked in the pot.
Ogata and the others had their dinner in the open air tonight. They set up a pot and cooked their dinner directly under the sky.
Ogata and the others naturally stayed with the villagers of Qina Village.
Although after negotiating with Chepke about moving to the village and moving in, in order to welcome the arrival of the villagers of Qina Village, Chanup organized people to build houses for the villagers of Qina Village.
However, because the villagers of Qina Village arrived at the Red Moon Fortress much earlier than Chanup and the others expected, only a small part of the houses have been successfully built.
These houses that have been built are given priority to accommodate the old, weak, women and children in the village. The young and middle-aged people in the village who are still in good health will continue to live a life where the ground is their bed and the sky is their quilt.
Chepke once offered to give one of the already built houses to Ogata and Atachi, who were kind to them, but Ogata refused.
My wife and I have long been accustomed to sleeping in a place without a ceiling. Let’s leave this built house to other people in need. This is what Ogata said when he rejected Chepke’s kindness.
.
Because there are still many people in Qina Village who have to live a camping life for a period of time, so when it is already dinner time, Ogata and Amachi are surrounded by the villagers of Qina Village, all in the sky
They set up a pot and cooked their own dinner for tonight.
"...It's hard to fix it now."
While Ogata and A-Machi were silently waiting for the dinner in the pot to be cooked, A-Machi suddenly said something cold.
"Many people want to take Lin Ziping's life... If we don't prove his innocence soon, he will have his head moved."
"Ah, speaking of which - what are the punishments of the Ainu people? Will they be beheaded?"
"Don't pay attention to these weird places..." After complaining about Atachi, Ogata took a deep breath, "Take it step by step slowly. Let's have a good dinner now, and the rest will wait.
We’ll talk about it later. Is dinner ready?”
The two of them are currently cooking wild vegetable soup.
These wild vegetables were picked by the two of them on their way to the Red Moon Fortress with the villagers of Qina Village.
During this time, I ate meat every meal until Ogata and Omachi felt a little tired of it.
In order to spice up their taste, the two decided to eat a very Japanese-style wild vegetable soup tonight.
A-Machi opened the lid of the pot, checked the status of the food in the pot, and then put the lid back on.
"It's not ready yet, you have to wait a little longer."
After putting the lid back on, Atachi let out a sigh of relief.
"...It's so embarrassing." Amachi smiled with a bit of embarrassment, "Do we two have to eat in front of such a crowd..."
"...I guess so." Ogata also smiled awkwardly, then turned his head and looked to the side of them not far away.
On the side of Ogata, Amachi and the others, there were a large number of residents of the Red Moon Fortress who were watching them.
Because Ogata and the others eat outdoors, these residents can "visit" Ogata and Amachi very conveniently.
These onlookers not only made Ogata and the others feel uncomfortable, but also made the villagers of Qina Village who were having dinner outdoors next to Ogata and others also feel embarrassed.
Although some onlookers realized that what they did caused trouble to others and left voluntarily.
But there were still many people who stayed where they were, looking curiously at Ogata and Omachi, who were no different from cherished animals in their eyes.
Neither approaching nor leaving.
The villages that Ogata and the others had interacted with before, whether it was Kuma Village or China Village, were all "affiliated villages" that had close ties with Kazuto and exchanged information with Kazuto. They were all used to this.
They knew Kazuto's appearance, and were used to Kazuto's and their clothes, which seemed strange to them.
But the residents of Red Moon Fortress are different.
Many residents of Red Moon Fortress have never seen Kazuto since they were born.
Omachi is okay, except for wearing strange clothes, not having tattoos on his face, his facial features are different from those of the Ainu people, and his figure is plumper than ordinary people, there are no other big differences.
But Ogata is different.
Not only the facial features and clothing are different, but there is no beard on the face, and the hairstyle on the head is very strange.
Ogata's hairstyle of not shaving Tsukiyo, but only wearing a bun, can be said to be "not a human being inside and outside" in this era.
In Japanese society, they will be regarded as non-mainstream.
In Ainu society, it is regarded as a weird "killer".
Many places from head to toe of Ogata and Amachi aroused countless curiosity among these people.
Amachi didn't like being watched like a cherished animal, and Ogata didn't like it either.
Just when Ogata was thinking about how to drive away these people who were still standing not far away to watch them, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him:
"Mr. Majima, Miss Atachi, we finally found you."
It's Esuma's voice.
"Hmm? Esuma?" Ogata looked at Esuma who was walking towards him and Atachi from behind with a hint of surprise.
Esuma is not alone.
Her younger brother, Otunpuyi, stuck closely behind Aisuma.
Otunpuyi, who lowered his head and followed closely behind Aisuma, raised his eyes from time to time and cast excited and expectant glances at Ogata.
Ogata was quite impressed by this Otonpui.
Because when they first met before, Otonpui looked at him with excitement - Ogata had always been puzzled by this.
Ogata and the others just left Chanup and Aisuma's home more than an hour ago.
Ogata cast a puzzled look at the Aisuma siblings who reunited so soon: "Why are you here?"
"I originally wanted to take advantage of the good weather tonight to take my brother to practice archery." Aisuma raised her hand with a wry smile and rubbed Otunpuyi's head, "It's just that he made a fuss and said he wanted to
He came to see you, so I can only bring him to you."
"Want to see me?" Ogata turned his doubtful gaze to Otonpui.
Otonpuyi's eyes were full of excitement and excitement - this look was very familiar to Ogata.
He used to see him often in his apprentice, Kondo Uchizo Sukena.
"Oh... I expected that many people who had never met Kazuto would come to join in the fun, but I didn't expect that there would be so many people..." Esuma directed the crowd not far away to "watch" Ogata and Kazuto.
The people of Amachi murmured.
Then, Aisuma strode towards the onlookers.
After she said something to the onlookers in the Ainu language that Ogata could not understand, the onlookers all showed expressions of regret, disappointment, etc.
They showed such expressions and dispersed one after another. After a while, the onlookers who were originally watching Ogata and the two dispersed and disappeared from Ogata's field of vision.
"Okay." Isuma, with a confident smile on her face, strode back to Ogata and the others, "I'll help you drive away these rude people."
"What did you say to those people?" Amachi asked in surprise and a bit of joy.
Without those people watching, A-Machi instantly felt much more at ease.
"I didn't say anything," Aisuma said, "I just asked them to stop doing such rude things and asked them to leave quickly."
"After all, I am Chanup's daughter, and I am also a well-known hunter. What I say still carries a lot of weight."
After saying that, Aisuma sat cross-legged next to A-Machi, and then waved to her brother.
"Otongpui, don't stand here stupidly. Didn't you just tell me that you have many things to ask Mr. Majima?"
"Yes, yes!" Perhaps because of nervousness, Otonpuyi not only had a stiff expression, but also stiff movements.
He moved his arms and legs stiffly like a robot, walked to Ogata's side, and then sat down cross-legged respectfully.
He turned his head, faced Ogata, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
However, even though he opened and closed his mouth for a long time, he didn't spit out even a single word.
Looking at Otonpui who couldn't speak for a long time due to nervousness or excitement, Aisuma sighed heavily, then smiled bitterly at Ogata and said:
"My brother is very interested in things related to people."
"I am very interested in samurai among Japanese."
"I just brought him to you, and he kept saying that he wanted to see your knife up close."
"When I learned that you were coming to Heye Zhe, I was so excited that I shouted, 'I really want to see you' and so on."
Ogata raised his eyebrows, and then looked at Otongpui beside him with surprise.
Having been in Ezo for so long, he has seen many different kinds of Ainu people.
But this is the first person who has shown a strong interest in Kazuto's culture.
Ogata finally understood why Otonpui looked at him with excitement when he met him for the first time.
It turned out that he was full of interest and curiosity about him as a samurai.
In modern terms, Otunpuyi should belong to the "Hari people" of this era.
"Why are you interested in Kazuto's affairs?" Ogata asked, "Have you ever been to our country?"
Otunpui shook his head.
Before Otunpui had time to answer, his sister Aisuma then answered for him:
"When Otunpui was 12 years old, I took him to the wild to learn how to set traps to hunt foxes."
"At that time, we met a group of merchants."
"Everyone in the Heshang branch was very kind, and we, the siblings, started chatting with them."
"The leader of that group of merchants is a samurai. He told Otunpui a lot about you and the people, samurai affairs."
"Since then, Otunpuyi has been full of interest in things related to people."
"Not only did I learn Japanese from an old man in Heye Zhe who can speak very standard Japanese, but he also said things like 'I want to go to the country of Japanese' from time to time."
"We, Heye Zhe, rarely have anyone come to visit us."
"That's why this child is so excited about your arrival."
After hearing what Isuma said just now, both Ogata and Omachi's expressions became strange.
Ogata turned his head and cast a meaningful look at Otonpui beside him...
Otunpui seems to be in a slightly calmer mood now.
After swallowing hard, Otonpuyi said to Ogata with a look of anticipation:
"True, Mr. Majima, I have always been interested in your samurai's swords."
"I have never seen a katana blade. Could you please let me see your sword?"
If he were the kind of "conservative" samurai who believed in the idea that "the katana is the soul of the samurai", he would definitely reject Otunpui's request without hesitation.
But Otonpui is lucky - Ogata, who is proficient in the "Twin Spear Style", is not such a conservative person.
Otunpui is the son of Chanupu, and Chanupu who allowed him and Atachi to enter the Red Moon Fortress can be regarded as providing a lot of help to Ogata and the others.
Both emotionally and rationally, Ogata could not think of any reason to refuse such a small request.
"Be careful." Ogata said softly, "Don't get cut."
After saying that, Ogata raised his left hand, pressed it on the sword of Daishuken, used his left thumb to open the mouth of the sword, and then slowly pulled out Daishukten from its sheath.
The firelight emitted from the low flame of the large pot in front of Ogata that was still cooking wild vegetables shone on the sword of Daishuken, reflecting a dazzling light.
Ogata handed the Great Shakten to Otongpui.
Otonpui took Ogata's Daishiten with a gentle movement as if he were taking something fragile that would break at the touch of a touch.
"Good weight……!"
"Hold it tight, be careful not to cut yourself." Ogata reminded again.
Otonpui held Ogata's Daeshakuten with both hands, raised it up, and pointed the tip of the sword straight at the sky.
Otonpuyi, who looked up and down at Da Shitian's blade, murmured: "The lines on this blade are so beautiful..."
"It was more beautiful before." Ogata sighed in a half-joking tone, "It's a pity that it has been fighting with me for a long time, and it has a lot of 'scars' on its body, so it is not as beautiful as before."
After saying that, Ogata turned his complicated eyes to Da Shiten's sword.
After obtaining the Great Release and the Great Freedom on Butterfly Island, these two swords have followed Ogata in his wars in the north and south. Although they are rare and tough swords, with an owner like Ogata who can constantly attract disasters, their blades are still inevitable.
There was some damage to the ground.
After the "Battle of Nijo Castle" in Kyoto, there were 3 gaps on the sword of Daishuken, and the number of gaps on the sword of Daizhao reached 4.
After leaving Kyoto, Ogata fought fierce battles one after another.
Nowadays, there are as many as 7 gaps on the body of Da Shi Tian Dao, and as many as 9 gaps on the body of Da Zi Zai Dao.
"Are these gaps still repairable?" Otunpuyi asked.
"I don't know. I don't know much about knife casting or repairing." Ogata said, "But one thing is certain - if you want to repair a knife, you must find a knifemaker with good enough skills."
"If the knife maker is not skilled enough, not only will the knife not be repairable, but it may also cause greater damage to the knife."
Otunpuyi nodded in understanding.
After looking at the sword of Daishiten in his hand a few more times, Otonpui returned the Daishiten to Ogata.
When Ogata put Da Shiten back into the scabbard, Otonpui immediately asked the second question:
"In addition to swordsmanship, do you warriors also need to learn various skills such as equestrianism and archery?"
"That's not true." Ogata showed a somewhat bitter smile, "Samurai are also divided into levels."
"There are warriors who are born without having to worry about food and clothing."
"There are also samurai who are so poor that they have to sell their swords."
"Only those warriors who come from a noble family can learn equestrian, archery and other skills in addition to swordsmanship."
"Samurai who live in poverty have to run around for food and clothing every day. Let alone equestrian and archery, they don't even have the time or financial resources to learn swordsmanship."
After answering Otonpui's question in a concise and concise manner, Otunpui then asked again:
"Are you and I really not eating meat?"
"Yes." Ogata nodded, "Although we don't eat meat, we will eat fish, shells and other seafood."
…
…
Chanup is currently sitting cross-legged in his home, rolling new cherry tree bark on the bow of his bow.
The Ainu people like to roll the bow of their bow with cherry tree bark, so that it can prevent slipping when holding the bow.
Chanup only lit an oil lamp beside his knees.
The oil they used to light the lamps was fish oil, and they usually poured the oil on the shells. The brightness of the light was far inferior to the light emitted by the candles after lighting them.
But this dim light was more than enough to replace the bow's bow with new cherry tree bark.
"Cough cough cough."
While Chanup was concentrating on maintaining his bow, he suddenly heard a coughing sound coming from outside the house.
This is the etiquette of the Ainu people - when visiting other people's homes, they must stand outside the door and cough.
After hearing the cough, the young people in the family came out to check on the visitor, and then returned to their room to report to the head of the family.
After the head of the family agrees to let the guests into the house, he will lead the whole family to simply clean the house and then admit the guests.
Overall, it is a very complicated etiquette.
Therefore, sometimes when treating regular customers, this set of etiquette is often omitted or simplified.
Currently, Chanup is the only one at home, so Chanup can only put down the bow in his hand and go to the door to see who is coming.
Standing outside the door was a tall and thin middle-aged man.
His skin is somewhat dark, his cheeks and chin have the trademark thick beard of the Ainu people, his figure is slim, and his cheeks are even slightly sunken.
Although he looked malnourished, this middle-aged man's eyes were extremely sharp, like an eagle's.
The middle-aged man looked at Chanup who appeared from the house with sharp eyes.
"Chanupu," said the thin middle-aged man, "Why did you come out alone? Where are Aisuma and Otunpuyi?"
"The hunting festival is about to begin, and Esuma took Otunpui to practice bow training." Chanupu said, "So I am the only one left at home. What a rare visitor. Retannoe, you haven't been like this for a long time.
I came to visit you alone. Come in."
The middle-aged man whom Chanup called Retannoe and Chanup walked into Chanup's house one after another.
"Retannoe." Chanupu sat cross-legged on the ground casually, and then took out his pipe, "You didn't come here to see me alone just to joke and chat with me, right? Let's talk about it.
What's the matter with me?"
"Chanup." Retannoe sat cross-legged in front of Chanup, with a solemn look on his face, "You...really allowed those two Kazuto to follow the villagers of Qina Village into our Heyezhe?"
?”
"Huh?" Chanup tilted his head, "Is there any problem with this?"
"Isn't that a problem?!" Reitannoe's tone suddenly rose a few degrees, "Why are those two Kazuto allowed to enter Heye Zhe with such arrogance?"
"Will doing this do any good to us, Heye Zhe?"
Retannoe was very emotional.
There is a foreigner who has nothing to do with Heyezhe entering their homeland - Retannoe has a strong resistance to this kind of thing.
Compared to Retannoe's excitement, Chanup was very calm.
After picking up the cigarette and taking a long puff of the cigarette, Chanup said slowly:
"Those two Kazuto extended a helping hand to our compatriots and saved a large number of our compatriots."
"What the two of them are looking for is to find traces or clues of the two Kazuto they are looking for."
"Allowing them to enter our Heye Zhe, allowing them to find traces or clues of the two Kazuto they have been looking for in our Heye Zhe, in order to thank them for saving our compatriots - what is wrong with this?
?"
"...Hmph!" Retannoe frowned, "Compatriots? What those two Kazuto saved was just that Qina Village! What does it have to do with us, Heye Zhe?"
"Although the villagers of Qina Village are now staying with us in Heyezhe, until today, the villagers of Qina Village were just outsiders to us."
"Why do we need to sacrifice our interests to help them thank those two Kazu people for the sake of a Qina Village that has little to do with us?"
Chanup did not immediately answer Retannoe's question. He just smoked a cigarette and looked at Retannoe silently in front of him.
Then--
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--!"
Suddenly he put down the pipe in his hand and laughed loudly.
"What's so funny?" Retannoe frowned.
"I thought it was funny, so I couldn't help laughing."
Chanup raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Retannoe, what you just said made me recall involuntarily - one of the important reasons why we Ainu have always been so weak in the face of Kazuto is probably because there are still too many...
People have thoughts like yours..."
Chanup wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. After wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, memories appeared in his pupils and he said faintly:
"That's from another village. Their village has nothing to do with us."
"He is from that village and I am from this village. What happens in their village has nothing to do with our village?"
"That village was attacked by Kazuto? Hahaha, you deserved it. It's a good thing that that village is gone. No one will compete with us for hunting grounds in the future."
Chanup put the pipe back to his mouth.
"We always regarded each other as enemies."
"I think other villages are other villages, my own village is my own village, and only people from the same village as myself and those from other villages who have a good relationship with my own village are compatriots."
"However, we clearly speak the same language and have very different customs and cultures. We all fear the gods the same way."
"We are all Ainu, but we are divided."
"Retannoe, we Ainu people have been unable to unite and call all the people who speak the same language and have the same culture as us 'compatriots' - this is probably why we Ainu people are here.
One of the important reasons why I have been unable to defeat Kazuto during these thousand years."
"Retannoe, what do you think?"
Chanup showed a warm smile and looked directly at Retannoe in front of him.
Retannoe lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
Chanup didn't seem to expect Retannoe to answer immediately, and continued:
"Qina Village...no."
Chanup put away the gentle smile on his face, and his face was full of seriousness.
"All Ainu people are our compatriots."
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this kind of thing: providing the best possible help to those who have rescued our compatriots."
"Even if they are aliens."
Chanup's tone was sonorous and forceful.
Retannoe continued to lower his head and remained silent.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head.
After giving Chanup a deep look with a meaningful look, he stood up without saying a word and quickly left Chanup's house.
Chanup did not get up to see off Retannoe, nor did he even go to see Retannoe off. He just continued to sit cross-legged and continued to smoke.
But just as Retannoe was about to leave through the door, Chanup suddenly shouted:
"Retannoe!"
Hearing Chanup call him, Retannoe stopped and faced outside the house, with his back to Chanup.
"Do not worry."
Chanup said.
"I will not do anything harmful to Heye Zhe."
"Heye Zhe is the new home we finally established."
A smile appeared on Chanup's face.
"I will not let He Yezhe encounter any danger."
"I won't let anyone hurt our Heye Zhe."
"I can assure you of this."
Retannoe, as before, said nothing in response.
After Chanup finished speaking, Retannoe strode away and completely disappeared from Chanup's sight.
…
…
Although Retannoe's face was expressionless, anyone with a little discernment could see from Retannoe's ferocious eyes that he was in a very bad mood right now.
As he strode back to his home, no one dared to come up and say hello to him because his eyes were so terrifying.
After returning to his home like the wind, Retannoe saw his wife, Mosiah.
"Are you back?" His wife Mosiah hurriedly greeted her, "What's wrong? Didn't you say you were looking for Chanup? Did you have a fight with Chanup?"
"……snort!"
Retannoe snorted heavily, then sat cross-legged on the ground, then escaped from his arms with his pipe, stuffed the tobacco leaves with skillful movements, and began to smoke heavily.
"...Hmph! I guess I had a quarrel with Chanup."
"I would like to advise Chanup to drive away the two people who came to our place in Heyezhe today."
"But Chanup didn't want to listen to me."
"In the end we broke up on bad terms."
Mosiah raised his hand to his forehead.
"You...don't make the relationship with Chanup too tense."
"Without Chanup, I really don't know where we would be now..."
"Please respect Chanup more."
"...Hmph!" Reitannoe took another drag on his cigarette, "It's because I respect him that tonight can end so peacefully."
After saying that, Retannoe looked around.
"Huh? Where's Pucina?"
"He went out just now," Mosia said. "Maybe he went to play with his friends, or maybe he went to play with Aisuma."
"Aisuma..." Retannoe said slowly, "...Huh! Speaking of which - Aisuma and Puccina are the same age, and they have both reached the age of marriageable age."
"That boy Puccina seems to like Aisuma very much, and I also think that girl Aisuma is pretty good."
"I will find a time to propose marriage to Chanupta in the future."
"Oh?" Retannoe's wife raised her beautiful eyebrows, "Are you going to marry Chanupta?"
"Chanupu is in charge of the entire Heyezhe. Being married to him will only do us good and no harm."
"I think if Puccina marries Aisuma, our son's life will be very difficult in the future." Moshia smiled bitterly, "That girl Aisuma is too strong... I think Puccina's child and Aisuma will have a hard time in the future."
Souma is not a good match."
"...Hmph! It doesn't matter whether Puccina and Esuma are compatible." Retannoe said seriously, "As long as we can become relatives with Chanup's family, that's fine."
"The most important purpose in marriage is to marry a family worth winning over."
Retannoe said this in a very firm tone.
"Oh?" Moshia leaned down and put his face just a finger away from Retannoe's face, "According to what you said just now - the reason why you wanted to marry me who was lonely in the first place,
Is it because you fall in love with my family, which has no father, no mother, no money and no power?"
Mosiah was all smiles.
Retannoe continued to look straight at the face of his wife who was very close to him with his expressionless face.
Then he turned his head away silently, not looking at his wife's smiling face.
"……snort!"
…
…
Unbeknownst to Retannoe and his wife, as they were discussing their son, their son was now-
"Where is Aisuma... The person just now said clearly that Aisuma took her brother in this direction..."
A man as strong as a bear was holding a flower in his right hand, his left hand resting on his eye socket, and looking around.
This man's height, converted into modern earth units, is about 1.8 meters or more, and his waist is as thick as that of a bear.
In addition to being tall and strong, this man also has a ferocious face.
His facial features seemed to be twisted up, and he had an air of "not easy to mess with".
"Pucina." A young man standing next to the strong man said, "Stop looking for Aisuma. Let's go back and continue chatting."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, the other two young men standing beside him nodded in agreement.
"No." The strong man shook his head like a rattle, "It's rare to find such a beautiful flower. I must give this flower to Aisuma."
The strong man's remarks made the three young men standing next to the strong man look at each other and smile bitterly.
This strong man is none other than Retannoe's son, Puccina.
The three young men standing next to Puccina are Puccina's friends.
Pucina likes to chat and always has endless things to talk about with his friends.
Tonight, after a quick dinner, he left home very skillfully, looked for friends, and then got together with his friends, ready to talk nonsense.
However, before they started chatting, Puccina suddenly found a very beautiful flower on the ground.
As a result, Pucina instantly changed his mind.
He decided to put aside chatting with his friends and deliver the flower to Aisuma first.
Therefore, this situation appeared: Puccina was holding cute flowers that did not match his appearance, and was painstakingly looking for Isuma, while his three friends could only follow Puccina to find it.
Esuma.
Finally - one of Pucina's friends suddenly shouted:
"Ah! Puchina, look! I found Aisuma! Her brother is here too! Huh? Aisuma and her brother seem to be chatting with the couple who came to our Heye Zhe today!"
When Puccina heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then put his hands on his eyes and looked far away in the direction pointed by his friend.
At the end of the line of sight, it was the Isuma siblings who were chatting with Ogata and the others.
"Huh..." Puccina looked stunned, "Why is Aisuma with those two people... and they seem to be chatting happily..."
Today, two Japanese people visited their Heyezhe - Puchina naturally knew about this kind of thing.
When Ogata and the others entered Heyezhe, Puccina followed the others to watch Ogata and Atachi.
But because he had no interest in Ogata, after taking a look at their appearance, he no longer cared about them.
At this moment, the scene that appeared in front of Puccina surprised Puccina - Esuma was chatting happily with the couple, but because of the distance, it was difficult to hear what they were talking about.
.
Pucina observed that - mainly the male Kazuto (Ogata) kept talking, while Isuma and her brother listened carefully, and then smiled from time to time.
Aisuma was actually with that couple.
I also had a great time chatting with the pair of Kazuto - especially the male Kazuto (Ogata).
At this moment, Puchina couldn't help but recall the scenes in which he always witnessed Aisuma hunting and playing with other men...
It feels like my heart is being cut with a knife.
Looking at Isuma who was happily chatting with the male Kazuto (Ogata), Puccina felt very uncomfortable.
"...What on earth is that Esuma talking to that person...?" Puccina murmured in a somewhat anxious tone.
Pucina's three friends also looked at each other in confusion at this time, not knowing what to say to Pucina now.
Just when these three people were still thinking about what to say to Puccina, Puccina suddenly turned around with a serious face and said sternly to his three friends:
"I'm going to listen and see what they're talking about!"
"Huh?" A friend looked at Puccina in astonishment, "Do you want to run over and eavesdrop?"
"It's not eavesdropping." Puccina continued to say seriously, "I want to join their chat openly and listen to what they are talking about!"
"Aisuma is chatting so intimately with a certain man - there is no way I can pretend I didn't see something like this!"
"If they are talking about something that ordinary friends should not talk about, I will destroy it!"
"To cause destruction?" asked a friend, "How do you want to cause destruction?"
"When they were chatting in a good mood, they suddenly told some unfunny jokes to ruin the mood."
3 friends: "Don't do things like this that will annoy Esuma!"*3
Puccina's three friends shouted in unison.
But Puccina remained unmoved by the cries of his three friends.
"You three stay here and wait for me! I'll come back as soon as possible!"
After that, Puccina put the flowers he planned to give to Isuma into his arms, then turned around and strode towards Ogata and the others with a firm look on his face.
"Hey!" At this time, one of his friends said, "Be careful. It is said that the man Kazuto is a ruthless man who can kill hundreds of white-skinned people by himself. You..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Puccina, who had just taken two steps away, made a 180-degree turn and returned to his three friends.
"Let's go back and eat roast rabbit."
3 friends: “Didn’t you say you want to listen to their conversation?!”*3
Pucina's three friends shouted again in unison.
"I forgot." Puccina said seriously, "I forgot that Kazuto is a guy who is not easy to mess with... It's better that we don't provoke people like that."
Seeing Esuma chatting happily with other men just now made Puccina so excited that he almost forgot - that male Kazuto (Ogata) is not easy to mess with...
Puccina had just heard about that man's deeds today - that guy chopped down hundreds of white-skinned men alone and beat the crap out of hundreds of well-equipped white-skinned men. Because he saved the entire Qina Village.
It is because of the village that he is so respected by the villagers of Qina Village.
Puccina was most afraid of people who would kill people or animals without mercy.
"Pucina," said a friend, "are you really not going to listen to what Aisuma and Nahe are talking about?"
Hearing his friend's words, Puccina was stunned for a moment.
He pursed his lips, his face full of confusion.
The fear of the male Kazuto (Ogata) and the curiosity about the content of the conversation he was having with Isuma were fighting fiercely in his mind.
In the end - my concern for Esuma outweighed my fear of Ogata.
"...You guys wait for me here, I'll come back as soon as possible."
After that, Puccina, who kept taking deep breaths, strode toward Ogata and the others with steps as if he were going to the execution ground.
——That Kazuto is a murderous guy, so you have to be careful...
——That Kazuto is a murderous guy, so you have to be careful...
…
Puccina kept repeating this sentence in his mind, cheering himself up and remembering to pay attention to Ogata, a dangerous person who kills without blinking an eye.
Gradually, Puccina got closer and closer to Ogata and the others.
Pucina's hearing was very good, so he slowly heard Ogata's conversation clearly.
Puccina also understands Japanese and can communicate with Kazuto without any obstacles.
The first thing that reached Puccina's ears was Ogata's voice:
"…Then, I stabbed it in the stomach."
Facing Ogata who said such heroic words, Puccina's feet froze in place...
——What on earth are they talking about?!
Pucina's heart was already screaming loudly.
Puccina, who was eager to find out what Ogata and the others were talking about, pricked up his ears and continued to listen hard to the conversation between Ogata and the others.
"After I stabbed the knife into its belly in one breath, I don't know if I used too much force or if I stabbed it in some strange place. Blood splattered all over my hands."
"So how to apply the knife is also a matter of knowledge. If the knife is inserted in the wrong position, blood and internal organs will always be splashed everywhere."
After Ogata's words fell, Aisuma and Otonpui nodded, showing expressions as if they were recalling what Ogata had just said.
——Then, is that guy teaching Aisuma and Otongpo the secret of killing people?!
Pucina felt his legs starting to swing.
Esuma asked Kazuto how to kill people efficiently - something like this, Puccina felt, was very likely to happen.
Because Aisuma is a person who loves to learn.
There are two things that have made Aisuma a celebrity in their Red Moon Fortress since she was a child.
The first thing: her identity. She is the princess of Heyezhe and the daughter of the village chief Chanup.
The second thing: Aisuma’s character of loving to learn and asking for advice.
Esuma loves hunting very much.
Since childhood, he has shown outstanding hunting talent.
And Aisuma is a very humble and studious person.
In order to improve her hunting skills, Aisuma can often be seen asking every hunting master in Heyezhe for advice.
Ask a hunter who is good at setting traps for advice on how to set traps.
Ask someone who is good at archery to teach you how to shoot.
Ask someone who knows how to train your eyesight to teach you how to train your eyesight.
…
Aisuma is constantly asking people for advice, eager to learn everything that will help her improve her hunting skills.
And Aisuma's open-mindedness and studiousness have also allowed her hunting skills to continue to improve.
In addition to asking for advice on these hunting skills, Esuma also often asks other people for knowledge that interests her, such as how to make rabbit heads more delicious.
Even now, Aisuma still runs around the Red Moon Fortress, asking different people for various skills.
Puccina was familiar with Aisuma's character, so he knew very well that it was possible for Aisuma to ask that Kazuto for advice on how to kill people efficiently.
Looking at Ogata with a smile on his face and saying such terrifying things, Puccina secretly thought in his heart:
——This man is indeed a man who can kill hundreds of white-skinned men in a row. He can still laugh when he talks about such bloody things...!
Puccina, whose legs began to shake violently, once again had the idea of going back to eat rabbit meat.
But just as timidity arose, the unspeakable affection for Esuma emerged again.
——No! We can’t just back down!
After cheering himself up for a while, Puccina managed to regain his composure.
It's just that--even though he has barely regained his composure, his fear of Ogata is even worse.
Puccina suppressed his fear of Ogata and continued to stride towards Ogata and the others...
…
…
"I see..." Otunpuyi nodded and muttered in a low voice at a volume that only he could hear clearly, "So this is how people eat fish..."
Ogata was just giving Otonpuyi their popular science and people’s food culture.
At the end of the popular science, he mentioned an embarrassing incident that happened when he was cooking fish - when he was cleaning the fish's internal organs, he accidentally stabbed it in the wrong place, causing a large amount of fish blood to spray onto Ogata's hand.
call--!
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew.
"Well..." Ogata suddenly lowered his head, then raised his hands to cover his eyes.
"What's wrong?" A-Machi asked quickly.
"It's nothing." Ogata rubbed his eyes with his right hand, "It's just that some dirty things were blown into my eyes."
"Ah!" At this time, Aisuma suddenly smiled happily and waved her hands behind Ogata, "Puchina! Why are you here? (Ainu language)"
——Huh? Is anyone else coming?
While Ogata said this to himself, he put down the hand he was rubbing his eyes with just now and turned his head to look behind him.
Because some dirt was blown into his eyes just now, and because Ogata was rubbing his eyes vigorously with his hands just now, Ogata's eyes are not only a little red now, but there are also some afterimages when looking at things, which makes Ogata
Fang couldn't help but squint his eyes to see clearly.
Ogata's eyes are not evil except in battle situations.
However... at this moment, because there are a lot of red bloodshot eyes in the whites of Ogata's eyes, and because Ogata is squinting his eyes to look at people, Ogata's eyes are a little sinister now...
So - a scene like this appeared in Pucina's vision:
Puccina, who was approaching Ogata and others from behind, saw Aisuma, who kept waving to him because she noticed him.
Then...the male and the person slowly turned his head...
——Why, why are you looking at me with such fierce eyes?!
Pucina screamed loudly in his heart again, and his feet were once again fixed in the snow.
"Huh? Puchina, what's wrong with you? (Ainu language)" Esuma looked at Puchina with confusion.
"No, no, it's nothing... I just passed by here by chance and saw you and Otunpui here, so I came to see what you were talking about... (Ainu language)" Puchina said in a weak tone
said.
Although she was puzzled by Pucina's frail appearance, Aisuma didn't pay much attention.
"My brother and I were listening to Mr. Majima's introduction to their lifestyle and customs. By the way, I was also listening to Mr. Majima's story about his past deeds."
——Some previous deeds... murderous deeds...
Puccina swallowed hard.
"Um...can I stay nearby and listen? (Ainu)"
Now that they are all here, Puccina has made up his mind to listen to what they are talking about.
"Hmm? If Mr. Majima doesn't mind, of course you can stay here and listen. (Ainu)" Isuma said.
Esuma informed Ogata in Japanese of Puccina's request to stay here and observe.
Ogata didn't care whether there were one more listener or two more listeners, so he nodded and let Puccina sit next to him.
As soon as Puchina cautiously shrank next to Ogata, he heard Otunpuyi asking Ogata excitedly:
"Mr. Majima, can you tell me how you usually exercise and hone your skills? If possible, can you show it to us?"
Listening to Otunpuyi's question, Pucina couldn't help but feel his heart sinking:
——The two siblings were really asking this Kazuto for advice on how to kill people efficiently...!
Puccina, whose face became paler, shrank his already small body even smaller.
When Ogata heard Otongpui's new question, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Because he couldn't answer this kind of question at all...
——I trained by relying on the system and negative distance contact with Atachi...
Ogata answered silently in his heart.
Since arriving in the Edo period, Ogata has basically not done any physical exercise, nor has he practiced much swordsmanship...
Whether it's the growth of body functions or the improvement of swordsmanship, it all depends on "system! Give me more points!"...
Since time travel, the only thing Ogata has done that can be considered as exercising his body muscles is probably sparring with Amachi in jujitsu every night.
By practicing Jiu-Jitsu with A-Machi, waist strength, arm strength, physical strength, body flexibility, and tongue flexibility can all be excellently exercised.
But Ogata definitely couldn't tell Otongpui directly that his physical training and swordsmanship all depended on the negative distance contact and system with Atachi.
So Ogata smiled and said:
"My sword training methods and physical training methods... are very intense methods. It is not convenient to tell you or show you."
A touch of disappointment appeared on the faces of Aisuma and Otunpuyi.
Puccina, who had preconceived the idea and unconsciously concluded that Ogata was a dangerous person, was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.
——Extreme, intense method...?
——It’s not convenient to tell us, and it’s also not convenient to show us the method... Um, could it be murder...?
Many bloody scenes flashed through Pucina's mind: Ogata showed a ferocious smile while wildly swinging his sword to kill people, relying on bloody killings to improve his swordsmanship and physical fitness...
Puccina's legs, which had finally stopped shaking, began to swing again.
At this time, Ogata, who was sitting next to Puccina, discovered the same thing about Puccina.
Ogata turned his head and said to Puccina:
"you……"
"Ahhhhhhhhh-!"
Just as Ogata had time to utter a syllable, Puccina let out a piercing scream as if he heard a bear roaring in his ears.
Puchina's scream not only frightened Ogata and the others, but also frightened the villagers of nearby Qina Village.
"Puchina! What's your name! (Ainu language)" Esuma shouted angrily.
"No, it's nothing..." Puccina lowered his head and said weakly.
Just when Esuma was about to continue scolding Puccina, her expression suddenly changed and she looked directly behind Ogata.
Ogata, who noticed the sudden change in Isuma's expression, turned his head and looked behind him - then, Ogata's expression also changed slightly.
Behind him, a dozen Ainu people were striding towards them.
Without exception, these dozen people all had expressionless faces and looked directly at Ogata and Atachi.
There was nothing friendly about them from head to toe.
Ogata slowly stood up and placed his left hand on the handle of Da Shiten's sword.
Atachi also stood up following Ogata, raising her right hand slightly, ready to take out her wakizashi or her pistol at any time.
