Mikami struggled to get up from the ground.

Looking at Ogata who had retracted the stabbed sword and maintained an ordinary standing posture, the emotions contained in Mikami's eyes were quite complicated.

After a while, Mikami sighed softly as if putting down something.

While putting down the wooden sword in his hand, he said softly:

"Congratulations, Ogata-kun, you won..."

After Mikami finished speaking, the dojo was silent for a few seconds.

It was not until a few seconds later that the brothers who were closely related to Ogata, headed by Makino, burst into cheers.

By cheering, they celebrated the birth of the new chief of their Sakakibara Sword Gym.

Ogata, who was busy wiping off the sweat from his face at this time, didn't notice that when he launched a surprise attack with the bird thorn, the half soldier kneeling on the edge of the dojo suddenly widened his eyes.

Hanbei first looked at Ogata with astonished eyes.

Then the gaze towards Ogata gradually became complicated again.

There was also a thoughtful look on his face.

Chapter 33

All the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym sat kneeling in the center of the dojo.

Facing the Hanbei who was kneeling in front of them.

"Ogata." Hanbei called Ogata's name in a moderate voice.

"Yes!" Ogata, who was sitting among the disciples, echoed loudly.

"Go forward."

"Yes!"

Ogata stood up, then quickly walked to the front of the disciples, and then knelt down on the wooden floor again.

"Ogata, congratulations."

Hanbei congratulated Ogata in a calm tone that was neither salty nor bland.

"You are the new chief of our Sakakibara Sword Gym! Your progress, as well as your talent, make me very happy."

"I am very pleased to have an apprentice like you."

"I'm afraid it will take less than 10 years for you, Ogata, to surpass me."

"Master, you are serious!" Ogata hurriedly said modestly, "I am still far behind you, Master!"

"Hahaha." Banbei Fuxu chuckled a few times, "No, Ogata, everyone, listen to me."

Hearing what Hanbei said, all the disciples kneeling in the dojo immediately cheered up, ready to listen to the master's teaching.

"Don't think too hard of me."

Hanbei whispered in a calm tone.

"The Hirose Fan is just a small fan far away."

"I'm just the owner of the small sword gym in Yuan Xiaofan."

"Japan is big, and the world is big."

"There are countless powerful people in this world."

"There are people beyond people, and there is a day beyond the sky. I hope you can all remember this sentence."

"At any time, you can't be complacent. No matter how strong your swordsmanship is, there will always be someone stronger than you in this world."

"So no matter when and where you are, you must maintain a humble heart and not be complacent."

As soon as Hanbei's instruction came down, all the disciples including Ogata hurriedly lowered their heads and put their hands on the floor: "Yes!"

After educating all the disciples, Hanbei refocused his attention on Ogata.

"Ogata, your current level of swordsmanship and talent are far beyond my imagination."

"As long as you continue to persevere in practicing swordsmanship, you will be able to obtain good accomplishments in swordsmanship in time."

"Although I have taught you this truth before, let me nag a little more now."

"No matter how superb your sword skills are, you can't draw your sword at will to hurt people."

"When you encounter a problem, if you can solve it without violence, don't use violence to solve it."

"Ogata, you have to keep in mind that violence will not solve any problems."

After Hanbei's voice fell, Ooyoung buried his head again, propped his hands on the ground, and said loudly:

"Yes!"

That night, Ogata went to Ruya as usual, doing his part-time job as a security guard.

After coming to Liuya, Ogata did not hide anything, and directly told Azaki and Afu that he won the championship in the gymnasium today.

After learning about this, Saki and Afu both cheered.

In fact, the two of them don't know much about the big competition in the Sakakibara Sword Gym.

But they know what it means to be at the top.

No matter what field you are in, being the chief is something worth celebrating. That's what Ah Saki and Ah Fu decided.

"Ah Fu!" Ah Saki said bluntly to Ah Fu beside him, "Go get some wine and appetizers! We have to celebrate tonight!"

"Yes!" Ah Fu took small steps and quickly returned to the kitchen.

Ogata cried and laughed as he witnessed the scene in front of him.

Hired by A Saki, it has been a while since I came to Ruya to work as a security guard.

Ogata is also used to Saki's bold personality, who always invites people to drink and eat food.

Compared with the excitement of Saki and Afu, Ogata himself was not too happy.

Being able to become the new chief of Sakakibara Sword Gym is certainly something to be happy about.

But to win this competition in the gymnasium means to represent Sakakibara Kenkan in the next month's competition for worshiping gods in Izumo Taisha Shrine.

Ogata has mixed feelings about going to battle to sacrifice to the gods.

To be honest, Ogata has no interest in the competition of offering sacrifices to gods.

Ogata is a person who doesn't like trouble.

For those things that look and sound troublesome, Ogata has always been respectful and insensitive.

If it weren't for the fact that Azaki gave too much money, Ogata would not have taken on the troublesome job of being an izakaya security guard.

In the eyes of Ogata, it is a very troublesome thing to participate in the competition of offering sacrifices to gods.

To represent the Sakakibara Kenkan, compete with Toyama Renro, who once again represented the Ishikawa Kenkan in the battle of gods this year

Ogata felt troubled just thinking about it.

However, he is now the winner of the competition in the gymnasium, and he is destined to participate in the next month's competition, so whether Ogata is looking forward to it or not, he has to bite the bullet.

It takes some time to get the wine and appetizers ready.

Xu conveniently held his knife, and waited with Azaki in the flow room for Afu to prepare the wine and appetizers.

The waiting time is always boring.

Just when Ogata was thinking about whether to think about some topics and come to chat with Azaki, Azaki suddenly said:

"Master Ogata."

Asaki lowered her voice very low.

As if she was afraid that outsiders would hear her voice.

"Huh? Miss Asaki, what's wrong?"

"Well, there is something I want to ask you."

"Miss Azaki, if you have any requests, please speak up." Ogata said straightforwardly, "I will do my best to do whatever I can."

A Saki invites Ogata to drink and eat food every three days.

It made Ogata feel embarrassed a long time ago.

Now A Saki has something to ask Ogata to do, and Ogata, no matter whether it is out of reason or morality, he naturally has to try his best to fulfill A Saki's request.

"It's just a small thing"

Asaki turned her head and looked at the kitchen behind her.

After confirming that Ah Fu was still making drinks and appetizers in the kitchen, Ah Saki turned her head and said in a lower voice:

"I want to borrow some money from you to buy a Wu suit."

"Wu Fu?" Ogata asked doubtfully.

Wufu is kimono.

The term kimono did not become popular until after the Edo period.

During the Edo period and before, people used to call their traditional clothing Wufu.

"Yeah." Ah Saki nodded, "About this time 2 years ago, I met Ah Fu who was almost sold to a brothel. Then I adopted Ah Fu here."

"So this time of year is a very special time for Ah Fu and me."

After hearing what Ah Saki said, Ogata's face revealed a look of sudden realization.

"I understand. So Miss Azaki, did you decide to buy a Wufu as a gift for Miss Afu to commemorate this special day for you and Miss Afu?"

"That's right." Saki put her hands together, "Although I do have this plan, but my money is not enough."

"A friend I haven't seen for a long time came to me the day before yesterday. I entertained my friend and spent a lot of money, so my money is not enough now"

"Miss Azaki" Ogata smiled helplessly, "You need to learn how to manage your money reasonably in the future."

"Okay, I'll lend you the money. But I don't have much savings."

Although Ogata's life is very poor, but in terms of savings, he still has a little money.

Asaki and Ah Fu, the mother and daughter, are already quite important acquaintances and friends to Ogata.

Not to mention other things that Ogata ate and drank so much for nothing on weekdays. At this time, Azaki borrowed money from Ogata. If Ogata faltered and took out the money unhappy, it would be really unreasonable up.

So Ogata nodded and agreed without any hesitation for such a trivial matter as borrowing money.

Ogata reported his current deposit amount and asked Azaki if it was enough.

And Ah Saki nodded quickly, saying that enough is enough.

Then he made an agreement with Ogata that Ogata would bring his deposit tomorrow night.

In the daytime the day after tomorrow, Ah Saki took the two of them's money and went to the Wu clothing store to personally buy the Wu clothing that Ah Fu might like.

at the same time

The homes of many sword gym masters are integrated with the sword gym.

In other words, many sword halls are divided into two parts.

One part is open to all disciples, where they practice swords and rest.

The other part is the residence of the owner himself.

But Hanbei is not like that.

His home is separate from his sword gym.

Hanbei's house was built in a place some distance away from the Sakakibara Sword Gym.

As the owner of a building, Hanbei naturally has no shortage of money for living expenses.
