I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

But the ronin didn't see this at all, and stood there in a daze, not even knowing that he had entered the enemy's attack range.

Just because the ronin didn't have this kind of sensitivity to the range of attack, Ogata could see that the ronin was just a person of mediocre strength.

In terms of strength, this ronin is not as good as some of Ogata's former brothers in the Sakakibara Dojo.

After putting Dashiten back into the scabbard, Kawajiro and Keemon quickly walked up to Ogata.

"Mashima-kun." Kawajiro exclaimed, "Your swordsmanship is amazing! Which school did you learn from?"

"The swordsmanship I use is the Gumu Yidao style." Ogata said the alias of the swordsmanship school he had thought of in advance. "The school I practice is mainly circulated in Omi. It is a very unpopular school of swordsmanship."

"Kawajiro." Keimon asked at the side, "Who is this?"

"Oh! This is the Izumo wanderer who came to my clubhouse this morning and plans to work in my clubhouse——Mashima Goro."

"I was taking him outside to find you just now, and I planned to let you compete with him to see how strong he is."

"In the end, it didn't work out, and you were catching thieves."

"Hey... During this period of time, the law and order in Yoshihara is getting worse and worse. Early in the morning, I met a person who didn't give money for food and drink."

As soon as Kawajiro finished speaking, Keemon suddenly widened his eyes and raised his finger to himself.

"I'm here to compete with him?"

"Where is the need to discuss and try his sword skills now?"

"Kawajiro, didn't you see his sword attack just now?"

"People with this level of swordsmanship, of course, passed directly! What else are you trying?!"

……

……

Ogata's shot just now saved him a lot more time than he imagined.

Even the sparring with Keemon was omitted, which was exactly what Ogata wanted.

With Keeimon's decision, Ogata officially became one of the "temporary workers" of the Shirobei clubhouse.

"Mashima-kun, you came in time!" Keemon patted Ogata on the shoulder and said, "If you were later, we might have recruited enough people."

"My name is Keimon, and I'm Banfang of the Shirobei Clubhouse! I'm mainly responsible for maintaining the law and order in Yoshihara and arresting those who make trouble in Yoshihara."

Keimon briefly introduced Ogata's future work to Ogata, who had become their "temporary worker".

"During the daytime, because there are not many people coming to Yoshiwara, Yoshiwara is relatively peaceful during the daytime. Only the official staff of our Shirobei Club can deal with the thieves who make trouble during the daytime."

"The trouble is it's late."

"At night, there are people everywhere. The predicament that our Shirobei Club is facing now is that our official officials are no longer enough to protect Yoshihara who is late, so we posted that piece of paper to recruit those with good skills."

"So those of you who were temporarily recruited by us, you only need to come to Yoshihara at a later time."

"Then at four o'clock in the evening, when the gate of Yoshihara is closed, you can leave Yoshihara."

Four o'clock in the evening-converted into the time unit of the earth, it is 22 o'clock in the evening.

After listening to Keemon's introduction, Ogata raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

This job is much easier than Ogata imagined.

You only need to come to work at night, and then you can leave work until 22 o'clock in the evening.

The total working hours are only about 22 hours from dark to 4:[-].

"Let me make sure—one day's wages are in silver, right?"

Ogata remembered that when he looked at the "recruitment advertisement" in the Shirobei clubhouse last night, the daily salary written on it was silver.

"That's right." Kawajiro, who was standing beside Keemon, replied for Keemon, "The wages will be settled on the same day."

"Your job is really a good job." Ogata couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

You only need to work about 4 hours, and you can get a daily salary above the average-this is indeed a pretty good job.

"It looks easy, but it's really tiring." After reminding Ogata, Keeimon said seriously, "Although you only need to come to work at night, I'll let you get acquainted with it first. Let’s take a look at Yoshihara’s appearance.”

"As a person responsible for maintaining law and order in Yoshihara, if you can't even recognize the road in Yoshihara, it would be ridiculous."

"Yeah." Ogata nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."

Ogata came to Yoshihara just to see if he could get some valuable information from that Gokutaro who came to Yoshihara every night to have fun.

For this purpose, it is quite necessary to master Yoshihara's layout in advance.

As soon as Ogata said "I'll trouble you", Keemon smiled:

"Come with me, Mashima-kun."

"I'll take you to meet someone."

"That person likes bringing newcomers the most."

"I won't rob her of this kind of job of bringing newcomers to familiarize themselves with Yoshihara. If I rob this job, she will definitely break her mouth in front of me again later."

"She should be free now."

"Let her take you around Yoshiwara."

……

……

Edo, Yoshiwara, a residential area, a certain simple private house.

"Um……"

Guasheng leaned against a wooden pillar by the wall of the living room, barefooted, straightened his waist, stuck his back tightly behind the wooden pillar behind him, raised the sword in his right hand, and pressed the blade against the wooden pillar behind him. His own scalp, and then cut horizontally on the wooden post behind his head.

After finishing the cut, Gua Sheng immediately jumped forward impatiently, opened the distance from the wooden pillar, and checked the knife he made on the wooden pillar just now.

The knife mark drawn by Gua Sheng perfectly coincides with a long and thin groove on the wooden pillar.

This slender ditch is a long ditch formed by overlapping countless sword marks cut at the same position.

Seeing that the sword mark he had drawn just now coincided with this long and thin groove again, Gua Sheng's face showed obvious and extremely frustrated expression.

"Still haven't grown taller...why do you look like this..."

Frustrated, he put away the sword in his hand and put it back into his bosom, then raised his hands to the sides of his body, and then jumped lightly.

The field of vision in front of him rose rapidly, and the long groove carved on the wooden pillar quickly passed down within Gua Sheng's field of vision.

Of course - the scene where the long ditch of the wooden pillar was under Gua Sheng's field of vision only appeared for a moment.

After Guasheng's white feet fell back to the ground, the long groove of the wooden pillar returned to the position parallel to Guasheng's scalp.

"Why don't I grow anywhere now..."

While muttering like this, Gua Sheng raised his left and right hands, pressed the left and right sides of his chest respectively, and squeezed towards the middle.

Even though he was already working hard, he didn't squeeze the flesh in his chest more bulging.

"Miss Guasheng! Miss Guasheng!"

Just when Guasheng was worrying about his developmental problems, Keemon's voice suddenly came to mind outside the room.

"What's wrong?" Gua Sheng hastily put down his hands that were squeezing his chest, and then shouted towards the gate not far away.

"A newcomer has come to our clubhouse!" Keimon then shouted, "I plan to ask you to take him around Yoshihara! Get to know Yoshihara!"

Hearing the word "newcomer", Gua Sheng's eyes lit up immediately.

He jumped up and down to the soil room of the room, put on a pair of straw sandals casually, and opened the door.

Standing behind the gate were two familiar men.

"Huh? Are you a newcomer?" Guasheng looked at Ogata standing behind Keeimon with a look of surprise.

And Ogata also looked at Guasheng in front of him with surprise.

Guasheng was wearing a beige kimono, very ordinary home attire.

Ogata didn't expect that the person at Qingwei's gate who likes to bring newcomers is actually Guasheng.

"Huh? Miss Guasheng, do you know Mashima-kun?"

"Yeah." Gua Sheng nodded, "I just met yesterday."

"It's good that you get to know each other!" Qingwei said, "Miss Guasheng, Mashima-kun will leave it to you! You can show Mashima-kun around today!"

……

……

After throwing Ogata to Guasheng, Keimon patted his ass and walked away.

After Keeimon left, Kawao said to Ogata who was still standing in front of her room:

"Mashima-kun, you actually came to work at our Shirobei clubhouse..."

"I may not be able to do it for long." Ogata shrugged, and said in a half-joking tone, "Maybe after a few days of work, I found it too tiring, and then I quit."

"If you are sure you want to work in our clubhouse, you can work harder for a while longer. If you leave after a few days, we will have to recruit new people again." After complaining to Ogata angrily, Gua Sheng Turn your body to one side, leaving a space where you can freely enter and exit through the gate, "Anyway—come in first."

"Then... I will bother you."

After untying the big Shitian from his waist and handing it to his right hand, Ogata slowly stepped into the Doma place in the room.

After taking off the straw sandals and following Guasheng to the living room of her house, Guasheng said to Ogata:

"You can just sit down, I'll make tea."

After leaving these words, Gua Sheng quickly left the hall.

After Guasheng left, Ogata sat obediently by the table in the living room, and then looked at everything around him with curious eyes.

Guasheng's living room is full of "serious" and "clean" atmosphere.

The appearance of this hall fits Gua Sheng's temperament very well.

However, this living room is, to some extent, too clean.

There is hardly any furniture or extras.

Just as Ogata was looking at everything around him with curious eyes, his eyes suddenly caught something on a certain wall of the living room... something strange.

It was a piece of paper taped to the wall.

To be precise, it is a portrait posted on the wall.

Looking at the portrait pasted on a wall of the living room, Ogata stared his eyes round, and then quickly stood up to take a closer look at the portrait.

The reason why Ogata had such a big reaction... is mainly because this portrait is so familiar to Ogata...

"Sorry, I forgot that I have no tea at home, would you mind drinking some water?"

Gua Sheng returned to the living room with two glasses of water.

After Guasheng came back, Ogata immediately pointed to the painting on the wall in front of him, and asked urgently to Guasheng:

"Miss Guasheng, is this...?"

"Huh? Don't you even know this person?"

Guasheng put the 2 cups of water on the table in the living room, then straightened up, straightened his chest, and said to Guasheng word by word:

"This is Ogata Yishi with the famous name of 'Sura'!"

"Sura?" Ogata lost his voice and repeated the words Guasheng said just now, "Isn't Ogata Yishi's name the Executioner Yidao Zhai, and Ren Zhan Yishi?"

"That's a name from a long time ago." Guasheng waved his hand, "According to those who survived the encirclement and suppression of Ogata Yishi in Nijo Castle, Ogata Yishi's fighting posture in the castle tower of Nijo Castle, Like an Asura with three heads and six arms."

"So after Ogata Itsuki broke through the Nijo Castle in Kyoto, everyone gave Ogata Itsuki this new title."

"It's just that the reputation of this title is not as wide as the two titles of 'Executioner Yidao Zhai' and 'Ren Zhan Yi Shi', so it's normal that you don't know the new title of Ogata Yi Shi."

After listening to Guasheng's explanation, Ogata twisted his stiff neck and turned his gaze back to the portrait of himself on the wall.

The emotions contained in the eyes are very complicated...

——Why did I unknowingly acquire a new title...
