I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Ogata glanced at the pile of neatly folded clothes, and then found a very familiar set of clothes in the pile.

"This dress is really nostalgic"

As Ogata spoke, he picked up the black suit.

This set of black clothes is the special clothes for the female ninjas in Shiranui.

That is, when Ogata and A-cho met for the first time in Butterfly Island, the upper body that A-cho wore was in the shape of a collar and back, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin on the back and shoulders.

Not only the skin on the back and shoulders is exposed, but also a lot of skin on the front collar.

The lower body clothing is a bit like tights, but far looser than tights.

Compared with the upper body clothes that reveal a large area of ​​skin, the lower body clothes are not so exposed, and there is almost no exposed place.

This female ninja uniform is also one of Ogata's precious memories.

Because this ninja costume is exactly the one she wore when A-cho and Ogata met for the first time on Butterfly Island.

After defecting from Shiranui, in order to hide his identity, Ah-cho has been wearing ordinary clothes.

But this female ninja uniform, A-Machi, never threw it away.

The reason is that this set of female ninja uniforms is her "battle uniform" for A-Machi.

Because the lower body of this female ninja uniform is designed like tight pants, and the upper body does not even have sleeves, so it is very convenient to move.

In addition, I am very used to this suit, so when wearing this suit, A-Ming's combat effectiveness can be more or less increased, so A-Ming did not throw away this suit, and kept it for a rainy day.

"Don't mess it up." A-Ming said angrily, "I managed to fold it neatly."

"It won't make a mess."

After carefully examining the ninja uniform in his hand for a while, Ogata put it back in its original place.

A-cho's clothes are not too much, and within a short while, A-cho folded all of her clothes.

A-Ming doesn't have many clothes. One reason is that she has fewer types of clothes than ordinary girls.

Because A-Ming, in the words of the modern earth, is a "vacuum party" who neither wears underwear nor underwear.

Although the Edo period did not have the kind of underwear and underwear in the modern sense, there were similar clothes.

There is a kind of women's clothing in the Edo period called "waist roll", which is similar to women's underwear in the Edo period.

There is a kind of close-fitting rubon, which is similar to women's underwear in the Edo period.

And A-Ming neither likes to wear waist rolls, nor does she like to wear this kind of close-fitting jacket.

According to A-Machi, this is a habit she developed from wearing that ninja uniform for many years.

Because the clothes I wore the most before were the ninja uniforms, so I didn't have the habit of wearing waist rolls and this close-fitting jacket.

And people who have the same dressing habits as A-Machi are actually not uncommon in this era.

In this era, many women actually wear neither "underpants" nor "underwear".

And the proportion of such people is not small.

Therefore, Ah Ding, who has this dressing habit, is not only considered an outlier, but also one of the mainstream people.

If you don't know what a waist roll is, you can read the popular science in the previous chapters.

Do you know why I popularized women's underwear and panties in the Edo period in the first two chapters?

This is all to pave the way for the following plot!

If you think that I give you popular science women's underwear and panties out of a strange hobby, you are very wrong.

Chapter 387 The Design Concept of Ninja Clothes 】

"I've always been really curious."

Ogata, who had just put back Amachi's ninja uniform, asked aloud.

"Why is the upper part of your ninja costume exposed, no, there is so little fabric?"

"Don't underestimate our ninja uniform." A-Ming picked up her ninja uniform and unfolded it. "The reason why the fabric on the upper body is so little is intentional."

"During the Warring States period, the female ninja costumes in our Shiranui were no different from the male ninja costumes."

"Whether it's the upper body or the lower body, it's all tight."

"It wasn't until later that something happened."

"When a female ninja was fighting the enemy, she gradually fell into a disadvantage because her strength was not as good as the enemy's."

"When she was about to be defeated by the enemy, the clothes on the upper body of the female ninja were scratched by the enemy's weapon, and the skin of the belly button was exposed."

"After seeing the white skin of the female ninja, the enemy seemed to have not touched a woman for a long time, so he froze for a moment, revealing his flaws."

"And the ninja caught the enemy's flaw and successfully killed the enemy."

"At that time, the ruler in Shiranui was the 10th generation Balrog."

"Inspired by this incident, the 10th generation Balrog realized that the ninja uniform can also be used as a weapon."

"Then start reducing the fabric of the ninja uniform."

"In the end our ninja uniforms became what they are now."

"After changing the female ninja uniform to what it is now, it really has a miraculous effect."

"Many ninjas have reflected that after wearing this kind of ninja uniform with reduced fabric, it not only makes it easier to move, but also causes more or less disturbance to the enemy's mind when a man is an opponent."

"Of course there are still some men who are completely undisturbed."

"Is there such a serious reason for changing the fabric to less?" Ogata couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Our women's physical fitness is not as good as that of men." A-Ming said in a helpless tone, "so in order to enhance our strength as much as possible, we can only use more such small means."

"I have a question." Ogata said in a joking tone, "Since changing the fabric so little is to disturb those enemies who are not strong in concentration, why not just don't wear clothes?"

"If you are directly naked, wouldn't it be more disturbing to the enemy?"

"Why are you so perverted!" A-Machi waved his fist angrily, and hit Ogata on the head, "When the 10th generation Balrog decided to change the girl's ninja costume, there was a guy who proposed to talk to you just now. Said exactly the same proposal."

"Then I met strong opposition from all the female ninjas in Shiranui."

"Although the number of female ninjas is relatively small, there are still some female ninjas who have considerable status."

"In order to avoid triggering a riot among the female ninjas, the 10th generation Balrog can only veto this proposal."

"It turns out that someone really made such a proposal." After Ogata rubbed the forehead hit by A-Machi just now, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you."

Ogata took out his small cloth bag filled with 40 silver for today's wages from his pocket.

"I made a lot of money today. Today's wages are a full 40 silver. I helped the Shirobei Club capture Ju Xiaoseng today, and I settled the reward for the robbery and changing the job."

When Asai returned to the hotel one step ahead, he told everyone, including Atachi, that Ogata assisted the Shirobei Club to capture Kiku Xiaoseng, repelled the Huofu thieves who robbed him of merit, and changed his official position.

So Ah Ding naturally knows how Ju Xiaoseng and Huo Fu, the thief who steals merit, are changed to official posts.

"40 silver?" A-Machi let out a small exclamation, took the small cloth bag handed over by Ogata, opened it, and looked inside.

"After more than a year, I rely on my own hands to make money." Ogata said in a half-joking tone, "I plan to buy winter clothes when the weather is cooler in the future."

Before Ogata finished speaking, Shimada's voice suddenly sounded outside the door:

"Master Ogata, Senior Mucun is back. Senior Mucun said that he has something very important to tell everyone, especially Mr. He Ogata, and he told you to hurry over."

"Important matter?" Ogata frowned slightly, "I see. I'll be there right away."

After finishing speaking, Ogata winked at A-Machi in front of him.

Atachi, who understood the meaning of Ogata's wink, nodded lightly, and then stood up together with Ogata.

When Ogata and Atachi came to the big room where their group of men lived, they saw Mucun who had just returned, and Lin who should have just left their room.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Mu Cun said with a wry smile:

"Everyone, I just heard a lot of information about the shogunate from Hasegawa-sama. Come on, brother Ogata, sit down quickly, you are the one who should listen carefully."

"What did Hasegawa tell you?" Lin asked seriously.

"I said a lot of things." After a wry smile, Mucun continued, "I was taken to a certain room in the headquarters of Huofu Thief Kai"

rewind time to some time ago

The quiet room where Mucun and Hasegawa are currently located is located in a relatively remote area of ​​the headquarters of Huofu Thief Kai, where there are few people coming and going.

Hasegawa likes this quiet room especially because there are few people coming and going, and it is very quiet no matter day or night. When he feels tired on weekdays, Hasegawa will take a rest in this quiet room.

It is precisely because there are so few people coming and going in this quiet room that Hasegawa chose to have a secret talk with Mucun in this quiet room.

Because the content of what he is going to talk to Mucun later must not be known to outsiders, so before entering this room, Hasegawa also informed his confidant Yamazaki in advance, and asked Yamazaki to order everyone who is currently staying at the headquarters not to approach this quiet room .

After making various preparations, Hasegawa entered the quiet room.

After throwing the series of questions at Mucun like a cannonball, the quiet room fell into a quagmire called "Death Silence".

Hasegawa did not speak, quietly waiting for Mucun's answer.

Mucun also did not speak, and only fixed his astonished eyes on Hasegawa in front of him.

There is only one candle for lighting in this quiet room, and it is placed in the center of the room, right between Makimura and Hasegawa.

Although the doors and windows of the quiet room were tightly closed, there was still a slight breeze blowing into the room through the gaps in the doors and windows.

The flame of the candle placed between the two swayed with the breeze blowing into the room, and the shadows of Mucun and Hasegawa also swayed on the wall of the room.

After a while, Mucun put his arms around his chest.

"Master Hasegawa, it's hard for me to ask you such a question without thinking."

"It's impossible for me to answer the series of questions you just asked without knowing anything."

"Could it be that you want to capture Ogata Ittosai who committed the felony of attacking Nijo Castle and burning the castle tower of Nijo Castle?"

Mucun cast a tentative look at Hasegawa.

"I didn't want to capture Ogata Ittosai."

Hasegawa shook his head.

"It's more like the opposite."

"I would like to ask Ogata Issai to help me."

"To be more precise, I would like to ask you and Ogata Itachi to help me."

"Help you?" Mucun's frown deepened.

When "Mucun" Hasegawa said this, he paused.

Looking at his appearance, he seems to be hesitating.

But the hesitant look on his face slowly dissipated after a while.

"Do you know Shiranui or Shiranui Ninja Village?"

After hearing the word "Shiranui" from Hasegawa's mouth, Mucun's pupils shrank slightly.

More than just knowing, I have heard this name almost every day during this period. Mucun really wanted to tell Hasegawa like this.

But after all, he still held back the desire to say this, pretending to be confused:

"I've heard a little bit about it. I heard it's a ninja village like Iga-no-sato and Koka-no-sato in the Sengoku period."

Hasegawa nodded slightly, and then continued:

"Yes."

"Shiranui is the last remaining ninja in our country."

"And this last ninja started cooperating with the shogunate some time ago."

"Of course, cooperating with the shogunate is just a nice way of saying it."

"To put it bluntly, the ninjas in Shiranui were recruited by the shogunate and became the royal ninjas of the shogunate."

Mucun pretended not to know much about Shiranui, and nodded from time to time while listening carefully.

"In this summer, Shiranui received from the shogunate their first major mission after cooperating with the shogunate."

"That is, when the lord of the Owari domain held a banquet in Nijo Castle, he served as the guard of Nijo Castle."
