Ogata no longer has to worry about whether he has traveled back to ancient Japan or to ancient Japan in a parallel world.
Anyway, no matter where you travel, there is no difference. You have to eat, sleep and live well every day.
So, Ogata began to think about the next question - how he would live his life in the future.
bass.
Ogata unsheathed the sword in his arms again.
Looking at the sharp blade, Ogata let out a long sigh.
"What use is a knife...in this day and age..."
Although the Edo period was an era where samurai were respected, samurai had the privilege of wielding swords.
But - since the opening of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Japan has been at peace for more than 100 years and nearly 200 years.
The whole country is at peace.
To put it bluntly - the katana has no use at all now.
The system in Ogata's mind is obviously a plug-in that allows Ogata to quickly improve his martial arts skills in a very short period of time.
Defeat and kill your opponents to gain experience points.
With experience points, you have skill points.
With skill points, you can have a powerful body and superb martial arts skills in an instant.
However - with a strong body, what's the use of superb martial arts?
There is no need for samurai swords in this era. What’s the use of becoming a great swordsman?
In such a peaceful era, the best way to become a great swordsman is to open a sword hall.
If he can successfully open a sword hall in the future and recruit a large number of disciples, then Xu Feng will be able to live a good life, and he will no longer have to rely on gruel every day as he does now.
but......
When he thought about the best way out for himself in the future, which is to open a sword gym, Oufang felt...a little lost.
He is not interested in opening a sword gym. He doesn't want to open a sword gym.
But if you want to ask Ogata himself - what do you want to do? Ogata himself can't answer...
Ogata doesn't know what he wants to do or what he can do...
Various thoughts were pulled back and forth in Ogata's mind.
How time passes by bit by bit.
Gradually, Ogata felt sleepiness gradually emerge from his body.
"What time is it now..."
There was no clock for Ogata to tell the time.
Although he could tell the approximate time based on the weather, Ogata was too lazy to go out.
Since he felt sleepy, Ou simply decided to go to sleep.
After all - he still has to go to work tomorrow.

...
Ordinary samurai without fiefdoms like Ogata can actually be treated as civil servants if we use more vivid words to describe them.
Samurai affiliated with the shogunate help the shogunate handle various political affairs.
The same goes for the warriors affiliated with various feudal lords, helping their lords handle various political affairs.
Except for those ronin who lost their masters or were expelled from the domain, samurai basically had jobs.
And Ogata's job is that of warehouse officer.
Its function is a bit like the accounting of modern Earth.
Responsible for managing and counting the various material inventories of the feudal government.
The official position of Treasury Officer also has many levels.
Ogata happens to be a relatively low-level existence among the treasurer officials.
It is precisely because Ogata is the lower level among the treasury officials that his annual salary is only a miserable 50 dan...
…
…
It was just dawn, and Xu Feng woke up.
Today is Ogata’s second day in the Edo period.
It was also the first morning that Ogata experienced after arriving in the Edo period.
After briefly washing up and getting dressed, Oconi inserted his two sabers back into his left waist and prepared to go to work in the city.
During the day, he worked as a warehouse officer, after get off work he went to the Sakakibara Sword Hall to practice swordsmanship, and at night he went to bed after dinner - this was Ogata's daily life.
It's both regular and a bit boring at the same time.
Ogata lives in a relatively remote place, so he has to get up very early every day in order to arrive at his workplace before he is late.
...
...
"Ogata-kun, good morning."
"Ogata-kun, you look good today."
"Good morning, Ogata."
...
Ogata responded to all these greetings from his colleagues with a smile.
These people who said hello to Ogata were all warehouse officers—all colleagues of Ogata.
Ogata is currently in a room that is neither very spacious nor very narrow.
This room is filled with desks and desks.
Ogata and his colleagues worked in this room every day on these cases.
Some people who arrived earlier have already bowed their heads in front of the case and started today's work.
After smiling and responding to the colleagues who greeted him one by one, Ogata knelt down in front of his desk.
Ogata's desk is exactly the same as the desks of his colleagues - they are both equipped with pens and papers, abacus, and filled with various account books.
The relationship between Ogata and his colleagues who are also treasurer officers is actually not very close.
The main reason may be related to age.
Ogata is the only young man in this room.
The rest are middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair.
Because of the large age gap, Ogata had nothing in common with these middle-aged and elderly people to talk about, so the relationship with these colleagues was naturally not very good.
In addition, Ogata hardly participates in any social activities on weekdays.
These colleagues of his went to drink and listen to music together every three days.
And they naturally invited Ogata to participate many times.
But Ogata always refused their invitations.
The reason why he didn't go out to socialize or go drinking with them was because Ogata was poor and didn't have much money.
On the other hand, it was because rather than drinking and socializing, Ogata wanted to practice swordsmanship with his fellow apprentices at the Sakakibara Sword Hall.
Those people headed by Makino are Ogata's friends.
Rather than socializing with these colleagues whom he didn't know very well, Ogata wanted to practice his favorite sword with his friends in the sword gym.
The relationship between Ogata and his colleagues who are also warehouse officers is just ordinary colleagues and acquaintances.
Without exchanging too many pleasantries with his colleagues, Ogata directly opened a ledger in front of his desk and started working.
...
...
Ogata inherited everything from "Ogata Hara" except his personality.
Memory, swordsmanship, and work ability.
He tapped the abacus easily and calculated the changes in the entry and exit of various materials he was responsible for, and the work was carried out in an orderly manner.
The small room was filled with the sound of turning pages and tapping beads.
But - no matter where you are or what kind of profession you are in, there are always people who paddle while working.
Just like now - some people have gone on a business trip and started chatting while working there.
"Do you know 'that thing' yesterday?"
"'That thing'? Which thing?"
"Ah, I know. I heard about it from others."
"What's going on?"
"...Lord, he went hunting again yesterday. On the way back from hunting, a little girl accidentally collided with the lord's car while playing ball..."
"...And then? What happened to the little girl after that...?"
"I don't know... I heard that I was killed by the lord directly with a sword, and I also heard that the little girl did not die... Anyway, the little girl's end should not be too good.
