I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Although Ogata is currently working as a part-time job as "Ryuya security guard", even if he does this part-time job, it is only to change Ogata's life from "tight" to "less tight".

Perhaps it is because of the tight life that has made Ogata now extremely sensitive to the sound of coins colliding.

Ogata judged instantly - the cloth bag in Ah Shi's hand contained money.

And it's a lot of money.

Looking at the money bag that Ash handed over, Ogata was silent for a while.

Then he sighed lightly.

He raised his left hand to press Ashina's hands holding the purse, and then gently pushed the purse and Ashina's hands back to Ashina.

At the same time, he took advantage of the situation to push Ah Shi, who was already close to him, away from him.

"Sorry, Miss Ash."

While talking, Ogata slowly let go of Ah Shi's hands.

"What should I say, I'm also a warrior."

"I really can't do this kind of thing that takes money and then deliberately loses to others."

"And——the competition of worshiping gods is not just my business."

"The outcome of the god sacrifice competition is related to the face and dignity of my Sakakibara Sword Gym."

"I must not deliberately do such a thing that will shame my Sakakibara Sword Gym for a little money."

"So—you go back, please."

Seeing this, Ah Shi showed an anxious expression, and wanted to say something to Ogata.

But Ogata noticed Ah Shi's move in advance, raised his hand to stop it, and reiterated again:

"Please go back!"

"...Yes..." Ah Shi silently stuffed the purse back into his Wu Fu's belt, then turned and left.

It wasn't until Ah Shi completely disappeared from his field of vision that Ogata breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Having such a wife, I really don't know if it's Yuan Shan's luck or misfortune..."

Looking at the direction in which Ah Shi's back disappeared, Xu Fang smiled helplessly, and then continued to mutter softly at a volume that only he could hear clearly:

"Come here to bribe your opponent in order to make your husband win... I really don't know how to evaluate this kind of behavior..."

After feeling so emotionally, Ogata turned around and went straight back to the room, ready to wash up briefly, and then went straight to sleep.

...

...

Ogata originally thought that Ah Shi's sudden visit tonight was just an ordinary episode in life.

He didn't think about who he would publicize this matter to in the future, he just planned to let this ordinary little matter rot in his stomach.

But he never expected——this seemingly ordinary incident tonight brought him big trouble...

After Ah Shi left Ogata's house with her purse in her arms, a pair of eyes that had been hiding in the dark not far away since Ah Shi stood in front of Ogata's house waiting for Ogata to return home, While braving the gloomy cold light, he chased Ah Shi's leaving figure.

After Ah Shi disappeared from the field of vision and Ogata returned to the house, the owner of these eyes slowly came out from the darkness.

This person is Itagaki who followed Ah Shi all the way here.

After walking out of the dark place, Itagaki turned his eyes to look at Ogata's house, which was still shining with some lights.

His eyes were full of anger.

"You... adulterer...!"

...

...

the next day—

The Ishikawa Sword Gym was established much earlier than the Sakakihara Sword Gym.

Therefore, the various facilities in the Ishikawa Sword Gym are also older than those in the Sakakibara Sword Gym.

"drink!"

Yuan Shan swung his sword towards the air in front of him, practicing his sword skills, while shouting with astonishing momentum.

While waving wooden swords and practicing swordsmanship in the distant mountains sweating profusely,

With a gloomy face, Itagaki walked slowly towards the distant mountain.

"Senior Yuanshan..."

"Huh? Itagaki, what's wrong?"

Yuan Shan stopped the sword in his hand, wiped the sweat from his face, and cast a puzzled look at Itagaki beside him.

"Why do you have such an ugly face? Is there something wrong with your body?"

"No... My health is fine... Senior Yuan Shan, can you come with me? I have something important to tell you."

"Important matter?"

Yuan Shan looked around at the group of brothers who were also practicing swordsmanship.

"Can't you say it here?"

"cannot."

Itagaki's tone was decisive.

"...All right then. Let's go outside and talk."

...

...

Yuan Shan and Itagaki walked out of the dojo one by one, and came to an empty place outside the dojo.

After looking around and confirming that there was no one else around, Itagaki lowered his voice and told Yuan Shan in detail what he saw and heard last night.

"what?!"

After Itagaki's voice fell, Toyama's eyes, which were originally relatively small, stared round at this moment.

"Ah, Ah Shi, she actually had a secret meeting with Ogata Yishi last night?! Is this true?!"

"It's absolutely true..." Itagaki nodded with a stern face, "I decided to follow Ah Shi because of her strange expression and behavior."

"I didn't expect that she would actually have a problem."

"I saw her standing in front of Ogata Itsuki's house waiting for Ogata Itsuki to come home."

"After Ogata Yishi came back, he and Ogata Yishi stood at the door together, not knowing what they were chatting there."

"Because of the distance, I didn't hear what they were talking about."

"But afterwards I saw Ah Shi suddenly pounce on that Ogata!"

"And that Ogata reached out and grabbed Ah Shi's hands afterwards!"

"The behavior of the two is so intimate... There is nothing wrong with them, what else...?"

As soon as Itagaki finished speaking, Yuan Shan, whose face had already become extremely ugly, raised his hand to support his forehead:

"How come... like this... Ah Shi, she clearly told me last night that she went to Hachiman Shrine to pray for me..."

Yuan Shan felt a little dizzy now.

The astonishing news shocked Yuan Shan's brain.

Ling Yuanshan still has a sense of unreality.

"...Senior Toyama." Itagaki said again, "If you don't believe me... you can go to Hachiman Shrine."

"Just ask the priests and maidens of the Hachiman Shrine, and you will know whether Ah Shi went to the Hachiman Shrine to pray for you last night."

Hearing Itagaki's suggestion, Toyama remained silent.

Afterwards, he turned around silently, returned to the dojo, took back his saber, put on his straw sandals, and rushed out like a gust of wind under the suspicious eyes of the rest of the brothers except Itagaki. After leaving the Ishikawa Sword Hall, go straight to the Hachiman Shrine...

...

...

Ah Shi is currently practicing calligraphy quietly at home.

Suddenly, she heard movement from the entrance.

Feeling confused, she walked slowly to the entrance, and she saw Yuan Shan with a gloomy and frightening expression standing in the entrance.

"Dana?" Ah Shi's face was full of surprise, "Why are you back?"

This is the first time Ah Shi has seen Yuan Shan go home so early since she married Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan didn't answer any of Ah Shi's questions.

Toyama... just came back from Hachiman Shrine...

Not even taking off the straw sandals, and not understanding the saber, Yuan Shan quickly rushed into the room.

Ah Shi wants to follow up and ask what happened.

Then he was scolded by Yuan Shan:

"leave me alone!"

"do not come near me!"

Being reprimanded by Yuan Shan for no reason, Ah Shi couldn't help feeling a little wronged.

Since Yuan Shan didn't let her approach, Ah Shi obeyed obediently and stopped following Yuan Shan's side.

Yuan Shan quickly rushed back to his room, and closed the door behind him.

After about half a stick of incense, Yuan Shan came out of the room and returned to Ah Shi's eyes.

Compared with just now, there is one more thing in Yuan Shan's hand now - a folded letter.
