I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"From here to the west, you can reach your hometown, Omi."

"Going west, I will arrive at my hometown - Izumo."

"It's been almost a year since I left Izumo."

"Although in Izumo, I don't have many people I still know well, but if I have the opportunity, I'd still like to go back to Izumo."

Ogata slowly retracted his fingers.

"Japan may seem big, but compared with the whole world, Japan is just a tiny country."

"There are still many countries in this world."

"In these countries, there must be many scenery that cannot be seen in Japan."

Ogata folded his arms around his chest, looked at the distant mountain that blocked the horizon, and said calmly:

"That's what I want to do after that."

"Huh? What...?" A-Ming looked puzzled.

"That's what I want to do in the future."

Ogata repeated what he had just said word by word.

"Seeing different landscapes all over the world freely without any restraint. This is what I want to do in the future."

"After Shiranui is destroyed and the poison of immortality in my body is cured, I will return to being a wanderer with a knife in my hand as before, wandering aimlessly, and looking around aimlessly. landscapes everywhere."

"It's different from my simple dream. Ah Yi, your dream is so grand." A-Ming said in a half-joking tone.

"That said, but if a person wanders alone without support, I'm afraid that one day in the future, I won't be able to persist in my dream."

Speaking of this, a faint smile began to appear on Ogata's face.

"So—Machi, come and help me realize my dream."

"Eh……?"

"I'll help you realize your dreams, and then you can help me realize mine."

After Ogata finished saying this, he slowly turned his head and looked directly into Ah-Machi's eyes.

His extremely clear eyes, reminiscent of the sky and the sea, clearly reflected the figure of Machi.

"The two of us have been cooperating seamlessly since Butterfly Island. With our tacit understanding, the two of us will surely realize each other's dreams beautifully."

When Ogata looked directly into Ogata's eyes, Acho also looked directly into Ogata's eyes.

The look of looking seriously into Ogata's eyes seemed to be looking for something in Ogata's eyes.

Her big eyes showed a slight surprise, and there was a bit of joy in the surprise.

Her rosy lips were tightly pressed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"Do you know what you said just now? Are you planning to change my name to 'Ogata Town' in the future?"

There was a bit of helplessness in A-Ming's tone.

Ogata did not respond to Ah-Machi's words.

Just smiled.

Then—

Without any warning, Ogata slowly raised his hands, wrapped his arms around A-Ming's back, and pulled A-Ming into his arms.

Her movements were as gentle as picking up beautiful flowers floating on the surface of calm water.

For Ogata's sudden embrace, A-Machi did not make any resistance.

After being embraced by Ogata, A-Machi hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her hands, and gently embraced Ogata.That action is like a mother bird spreading her wings to protect her chicks.

While hugging Ogata backwards, A-Machi stood on tiptoe and leaned his cheek against Ogata's.

And Ogata also cooperated with Ah-ding, bending his waist slightly.

The cheeks of the two were almost touching, and Ogata could clearly feel the hot breath from her cheeks.

Ogata looked at her face intentionally or unintentionally, and saw a faint smile on her face, but she bit her lower lip again, as if she wanted to cry again.

Although it was strange to say so, Ogata only felt that—at this time, A-Machi was very... a girl.

In front of Ogata, A-Machi has always shown a heroic spirit and strength far surpassing other women of the same age.

This is the second time that Ogata has deeply felt that the person in front of him is a weak girl with a slender heart.

The first time was that long night in Kyoto, when Machi was shivering with fear.

And the second time is now.

The two of them quietly let time pass by like this.

These are chaotic times.

Everywhere is uneven.

In the world that is still in chaos, there is only this place at this moment, like a small boat floating on the calm night sea.

Chapter 344 Plains, Mountains, Canyons, Waterfalls, Rainwater

I used to be a young and crazy boy, traveling alone, but got lost.

I feel most fulfilled when I meet people.

Man is the joy of man.

*******

*******

Tonight is a sunny day.

The moon was hanging high, and the hazy yellow moonlight shining from the window cast a bluish-white light on the skins of Ogata and Atachi.

However, just now, Ah-Ming reached out to close the window next to him.

The moonlight was blocked, and the room returned to darkness.

……

……

"...Ayi."

"what happened?"

"Your ears are so cold..."

"Well... it's my nature... my ears have always been cooler than other people's. It's hard to warm up."

Please help me, [Mimi Reading app mimiread] can steal exlibris like stealing vegetables, come and steal books voted for by friends’ exlibs.

"It's really cool..."

"Hey... are you a dog? Don't bite my ears."

"Ayi, your ears are cold...but your face is hot."

"Aren't you too..."

……

……

The warm wind collided with the warm wind.

The two warm winds collided, and there was a flash of blazing heat like gushing magma.

These two groups of warm wind are constantly deepening, whether it is the temperature of the wind or the strength of the wind.

While the wind and the wind collided and competed, they also shared each other's temperature.Direct your own temperature to the other party.

……

……

Although this is a 1-on-1 battle, the numbers are completely equal, so Ogata is full of confidence in this battle.

……

……

"Why do you sleep on this cabinet...? It feels weird to lie on it... Aren't you afraid that you will fall asleep and roll off your face?"

"I've never been afraid that I'd turn myself over...A-Machi, are you afraid?"

"Hmm... a little... I've never tried sleeping on top of a cabinet..."

"...Don't worry, I will always hold you and won't let you fall."

……

……

Since coming to this Edo period, every battle that Ogata fought was basically more than one dozen.

Hirose Clan's assassination of Matsudaira Gennai, Chojima's battle with the shogunate army and the demon monk, and the recent battle of Nijo Castle's castle tower, all of these were difficult battles involving more than one dozen.

In terms of physical strength, Ogata is still very confident.

So Ogata firmly believed that he would also be able to successfully win this one-on-one match with A-cho tonight.

……

……

"Will we disturb Lin and the others?"

"Probably not. In my impression, their room is far away from us."

"But it's still possible to let them hear the voice?"

"Then we can only let them bear it."

……

……

In order to maximize the effect of his attack, Ogata used a slightly clumsy technique to tear off the thin armor on A-Machi's body in one go.

……

……

"Hey...don't tear my precious bathrobe...I spent a lot of money to buy this bathrobe."

"Sorry... I don't know how women's yukatas are put on and taken off..."

"Didn't you know how to put on and take off a women's yukata before?"

"Um……"

"Haha, that's the same as me. I don't know much about how men's kimonos are put on and taken off."

……

……

A flat plain.

The plain suddenly opened up, and along the plain all the way to the north, the majestic and blue silhouette of the mountains began to appear on the northern skyline.

The winding outline of the mountains stretches towards the sky and in all directions, as magnificent as a galloping horse.

Going south along the plain is a canyon.

The canyon is surrounded by high peaks, the red cliffs are covered with emerald green ivy, and the top of the cliffs are clumps of weeds that seem to have been trimmed by a special person; the red cliffs are washed out by the flowing water.

……

……

At the beginning of the one-on-one duel with A-Machi, Okai directly launched a fierce offensive.

Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, change direction, attack, attack, attack, change direction, attack, attack, attack...

Over and over again, launching a violent attack like a wave.
