I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Combination of board and lodging - the function of this hotel is very complete.

But after going up to the second floor of the hotel with the cake mother-in-law, Ogata was surprised to find that he seemed to be the only guest in the hotel at present.

Granny Cake, who was walking in front, seemed to notice the confusion on Ogata's face behind her, and said softly with a smile:

"Guest officer, you are wondering why there are no guests here, right?"

"This is also inevitable. After all, the location of the store is relatively remote, so the business has always been very ordinary."

Although Granny Cake's words were said with a smile, Ogata could still hear a bit of disappointment in Granny Cake's words...

……

……

After packing up his luggage in his room, Ogata followed Granny Gao back to the first floor, ready to enjoy today's dinner.

There are not many dishes that this hotel can provide, they are just some ordinary home-cooked dishes.

Although the dishes provided are just ordinary home-cooked dishes, Grandma Cake's cooking skills are quite good. Even if it's just ordinary home-cooked dishes, Ogata still eats them with relish.

Because there is only one guest, Ogata, there are currently only two people in this hotel, Ogata and Granny Gao.

After serving all the dishes that Ogata had ordered, Granny Cake walked towards Ogata with a few pieces of cakes with rather peculiar shapes.

"Guest officer, come here. Please use it."

"I didn't order this..."

"Grandma, I invited you to eat." Grandma Cake covered her mouth and smiled, "This is a specialty of my hometown, Omi Kusatsu: Grandma Cake."

"It's my favorite food."

"It's also something I love to share with my guests."

"It's rare that a young and handsome guest came today, so I invite you to eat some! Come, eat quickly!"

"Handsome or something, I can't talk about it..." Xu Fang showed helplessness.

"I think you are handsome, guest officer." Granny Cake seemed very

"I can't even find the bodies of the three of them, and I don't even know whether they were burned to death or suffocated by smoke..."

"I've been the only one running the hotel since then."

"...Sorry." Xu Fang revealed a strong apology.

"Hohohoho~~" Granny Cake chuckled a few times, "I don't need to apologize, I've let go of it a long time ago."

"Man is inherently mortal."

"I was just very lucky to die a little later."

"Although my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are gone, I feel a little lonely occasionally, but I am happy every day now."

"There are grandma cakes to eat every day."

"There will be little surprises from time to time."

"Like today—if I had died yesterday, I wouldn't be able to touch you, a handsome young man, today."

"As long as you keep living, you can experience this little surprise every now and then."

"If possible, I really want to live with it for decades."

"Oh, did I talk too much? Did it affect your meal?"

Granny Cake smiled apologetically.

"A guest officer complained that I interrupted their meal before..."

"Nothing." Ogata shook his head, "It didn't affect my meal."

Speaking of this, Ogata paused.

After being silent for a while, the smiling grandma cakes on the table raised their chins.

"Grandma Cake, do you have any special products from your hometown?"

"Oh? You are interested in this, sir."

"I've always been interested in food. Tell me more about the food in your hometown."

"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohood."

"However, if I introduce them one by one, it may take a long time."

"It's okay." Ogata waved his hand, "I have a full night to chat with you."

"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!", let me introduce you one by one!"

Just when Granny Cake was about to introduce Ogata to the delicacies of her hometown——

clack la la la...

The door of the hotel was slowly opened.

"Do you have any rooms available here?"

A middle-aged male voice full of vigor and magnetism sounded from the opened door.

Hearing this familiar voice, Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.

Following the sound, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the door of the hotel.

At the gate of the hotel, a large number of samurai wearing special black uniforms stood.

The middle-aged man standing in the front row had a heroic face and was full of righteousness—it was Hasegawa Heizo, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

A few people headed by Hasegawa Heizo blocked Ogata's sight, so Ogata couldn't see clearly how many subordinates were standing behind Hasegawa Heizo.

But according to my own visual inspection, the number of officials next to and behind Hirazo Hasegawa is at least 20 people.

After seeing Hasegawa Heizo, Ogata subconsciously raised his hand towards Da Shitian and Da Zizai who were placed on the tatami beside him.

But just as he stretched out his hand, Xu Fang suddenly remembered something.

After glancing at Granny Cake sitting next to him, Ogata withdrew his hand that was already reaching for his knife.

The same is true of Hasegawa Heizo.

After Hasegawa Heizo and Imai and other cadres beside him recognized Ogata, they also subconsciously reached for the knife on the left waist.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Hasegawa Heizo glanced at Granny Gao—then retracted his hand like Ogata.

At the same time, he gestured to Imai and the others beside him, signaling them not to be nervous, let alone draw their swords.

Granny Gao, who didn't notice these small actions of Ogata and Hasegawa, was full of excitement.

"Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooows

"There are still vacancies in this store, but the number of rooms is not enough, and it may not be enough for all of you to stay."

"It doesn't matter." Hasegawa shook his head, "We can share a room with several people. As long as there is a place where we can spend the night, that's enough."

"Okay! By the way—have you had dinner yet?"

"not yet."

"If it's convenient, would you like to eat here?"

"... Then there will be work."

……

……

When Hasegawa Heizo led his group of subordinates into the house, Ogata deliberately counted the number of Hasegawa Heizo and others—23 people including Hasegawa Heizo.

The number of people was much smaller than the previous meeting in which Rin Kinoshita was chased by Tatsuno Fan.

"That... guest officer." Granny Cake said to Ogata apologetically, "Excuse me, do you mind if these guests sit next to you?"

"I don't mind." Ogata smiled, "It would be nice if a few more people came to chat with me."

Seeing that Ogata agreed, Granny Cake immediately beamed with joy.

And the person who came to sit next to Ogata was not what Ogata expected—it was Hasegawa Heizo.

Hasegawa Heizo led several of his subordinates to sit next to Ogata.

Although Hasegawa and the others are large in number, if they are crowded, they can barely sit down in the restaurant on the first floor.

Granny Cake quickly prepared the dishes Hasegawa ordered and brought them all.

Even a rural girl like Granny Gao can tell that Hasegawa and the others are official servants—after all, no one will wear such uniform uniforms except official servants.

Granny Gao, who couldn't restrain her curiosity, couldn't help asking about the identities of Hasegawa and the others.

And Hasegawa didn't make any concealment, and directly stated which official office they were from, and showed his identity.

After learning that this group of people are official servants converted from Huofu thieves, and that the middle-aged man in front of her is the famous Hasegawa Heizo, Granny Cake showed a look of surprise.

"You are 'Imaoka' Hasegawa Heizo-sama!"

"I didn't expect you, mother-in-law, to know that I'm here..." Hasegawa smiled slightly.

"Of course! Those storytellers in Kyoto are always telling your stories!"

"I remember Hasegawa-sama, the government office under your jurisdiction is specialized in hunting down thieves and arsonists, right?"

"That's right." Hasegawa nodded.

"While hunting down thieves and arsonists, we also catch murderers from time to time." Ogata, who was sitting on the side, continued in a half-joking tone.

"Then! Excuse me, are you here to investigate the Tianming fire?"

Because of the excitement, Granny Cake's body involuntarily leaned forward in the direction where Hasegawa was.

"Huh?" Hearing Granny Gao's endless question, Hasegawa was stunned.

After a while, after regaining consciousness, Hasegawa smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Sorry, I'm not here to investigate the Tianming fire."

"The Tianming fire was already two years ago."

"After such a long time, there is no way to find out."

"And--the Tianming fire has already been settled."

"It was a tragedy caused by an unexplained fire in an empty house on the outskirts of the city."

"So there's nothing to investigate."

A look of disappointment appeared on Granny Cake's cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"But, but... I heard that the big fire was man-made..."

"Mother-in-law..." Hasegawa smiled wryly, "Take these rumors from hearsay as the truth."

"This is also a common thing. Every time there is a major case, various rumors will spread among the market."

"These rumors are basically just fabricated by people after dinner."

"So mother-in-law, you should follow the shogunate's announcement and don't listen to these unknown rumors."

"... That's true." The corners of Granny Cake's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

But Granny Cake's smile had a bit of... a far-fetched color.

"Even if you really want to investigate, after two years, you can't find anything..."

"Ah, just at this moment." Ogata suddenly said softly with half a grandma's cake stuffed in his mouth, "Grandma cake. I just found out now—these grandma's cake contains a lot of red bean paste, sweet Yes, it's delicious."

"Yes." Hearing Ogata's words, Granny Gao's eyes glowed a little again, "My grandma's cake here is the most authentic grandma's cake, eat more."

"Master Hasegawa." Ogata handed a piece of grandma cake on the table to Hasegawa, "Don't just talk, let's eat some of this grandma cake together, it tastes pretty good."

When he said "Don't just talk", Ogata emphasized his tone.

After hearing that there was something in Ogata's words, Hasegawa narrowed his eyes slightly.

After saying "I'm sorry", Hasegawa stuffed the grandma cake that Ogata handed over into his mouth.
