I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

In the inn where Nishinocho, Ogata and Acho stayed

Machi stood in the center of the room.

Ogata squatted in front of A-Machi.

The two were working together to put a kimono on Ah-cho's body.

After successfully putting on the kimono, A-Machi raised his arms horizontally and asked:

"Ayi, what do you think?"

"Yeah" Ogata stared at the piece of fabric on A-Machi's chest that was bulging by her pectoral muscles.

Then he raised his hand and touched the tightly stretched clothes.

"The clothes seem to be stretched even tighter." Ogata murmured.

"Right?" A-Ming let out a helpless sigh, "It doesn't seem to be my illusion, okay, don't knead any more!"

Machi patted off Ogata's hand, who was rubbing her chest muscles with a serious face, angrily.

"Take off your clothes." Ogata said solemnly, "Let me see with my own eyes whether there has really been a change."

Thanks to book friend Zhanyue Cupying, I voted for 21 monthly tickets for this book in one breath yesterday. This is the first time I saw someone who voted for 21 monthly tickets without tipping.

Really sincerely, thank you very much for your support!

Yesterday, I saw some book friends left comments, praising the quality of the book is very good, the writing style and content are very suitable for adaptation into anime or something.

First of all, thank the book friend for the good review.

Then I will tell you a piece of news that has not been told to you for a long time, which should be considered good news, and it is related to the derivation of this book.

For details, please see the "Writer's Note" below.

Chapter 463 Ogata: "A-cho, don't sleep tonight" [8800 words]

There are two updates today, and another update will be released at 10:30 in half an hour.

There is no need for too many words of gratitude, just vote for me monthly.

"There's no need to undress."

While talking, A-Machi raised his left and right palms and pressed his chest muscles towards the middle.

"Now it seems that it should be my own problem. I shouldn't be gaining weight."

Just now, A-Machi told Ogata solemnly that she felt that some of her clothes had become a little unfit.

The fabric on the chest area became much tighter.

In order to verify whether the reason was in the clothes or the body of A-Machi, Ogata asked A-Machi to put on one of the unfit clothes.

After Ogata's verification, Ah-Machi's chest muscles are indeed a little more exaggerated than when he first saw them a few months ago.

Ogata just asked A-Machi to take off his clothes just casually, so even if A-Machi refused, he didn't regret it.

After all, he can see Ah Ding's chest muscles every day.And he has seen it many times.

"Nothing." Ogata waved his hand, "A-Machi, at your age, it's just a normal thing for those parts to continue to develop."

A-machi is only 18 years old this year. In modern times, she is still the age of a female high school student.

For girls at this age, those parts may still continue to develop.

"My place hasn't changed much since the middle of last year." Ah-Ming patted the cloth on his bulging chest, "I thought there would be no changes from now on."

Listening to Ah-Machi's words, Ogata thought silently in his heart.

The reason may not have anything to do with me

In his previous life, Ogata heard that touching and kneading certain parts too much can promote the production of hormones and thus promote development.

Previously in Edo, because they lived under the same roof as the Huluya group, Ogata and A-machi were restrained.

After leaving Edo, Ogata and A-machi kept in contact with negative distance every night because no one was in the way.

Ogata raised his eyes, and took another serious look at the bulging piece of fabric on A-Ming's chest.

"It just happens to be New Years."

"Since a few clothes have become out of fit, let's just take advantage of this time to buy two new clothes."

"Go buy it now."

"Now?" Machi asked.

"Well, now." Ogata nodded, "Anyway, I'm free now."

"And it just so happens that there are clothing stores opening right now."

"With a few more days of delay, the owner of the clothing store might be closed for the New Year."

"Okay then." Ah-Ming nodded, "I'm a little uncomfortable in this dress, I'll change clothes, come and help me."

Kimono is a kind of clothing that two people wear together is much more efficient than one.

Very few kimonos can't even be worn by one person.

After Qiuyue, who claimed to be the "Seven Guns of Xianzhou", left, Ouban received the news that the Sendai Fan army stationed near Nishikino Town had left the next day.

After the Sendai Fan army stationed near Nishinocho left, that Akizuki never appeared again.

He must have left with that army.

No one knows where this Sendai Fan army is going.

During this period of time, the movement of this Sendai Fan army has become one of the important topics of conversation among the townspeople of Nishino Town after dinner.

Everyone opened their minds about the movements of the Sendai Fan army.

Some said that the army of the Sendai domain was to quell the peasant uprising.

Some said that the army of the Sendai domain was going to unite with the armies of other domains to exterminate bandits in various parts of the Ou region.

Some said that the army of the Sendai domain would go to Ezo to assist the Northern Legion currently stationed in the northern border to guard against the country of Lucia.

All in all.

Ogata was not interested in the missing Sendai Fan army.

What kind of life did Ogata live before going to assist the villagers in that village to fight against bandits, and what kind of life did Ogata lead during this time.

In the morning, go to see the rehearsal of Treasure Island House.

Then go to Baosheng Sword Hall to gain experience.

After dark, I went back to the hotel and followed A-Ming to learn the common language of Ainu with the "Einu Language Teaching Guide".

After late at night, I hugged Ah-Ming around the hotel room and did things that would make some people who don't even have lovers or wives envious.

Ogata had been living such a regular life until yesterday.

Yesterday, Baosheng Sword Gym officially announced its temporary closure.

Ogata can no longer earn experience.

The reason why the museum is closed is also very simple. It is the Chinese New Year.

Japan also celebrates New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve are regarded as one of the most important festivals throughout the year in Japan.

At the beginning of December, the residents of Nishino Town began to prepare for the New Year.

In mid-December, some apprentices began to ask for leave because of the Chinese New Year.

Because the number of apprentices taking leave is increasing every day, the efficiency of Ogata's experience is also decreasing day by day.

Yesterday, that is, on the 24th, because Director Baosheng himself was preparing to go to the Chinese New Year, the director of Baosheng announced that it would be temporarily closed, and it would reopen on January 1th of the next year.

The Baosheng Sword Gym was closed, and Ogata also lost the only place where he could gain experience.

Since there is no way to gain experience for the time being, Ogata simply gave himself a few days off to spend a good year with A-Machi and relax his body and mind that hadn't been relaxed since the beginning of the year.

Ogata has been doing things like helping Ah-ding take off his clothes every day recently, and he is already familiar with it.

Thanks to Machi, Ogata is now proficient in how to wear many types of commoner women's clothing.

After skillfully working together with Ah-Ming to change her clothes, the two walked out of the room and the hotel side by side.

As soon as I set foot on the street near the hotel, the festive atmosphere rushed over my face.

Although there are still a few days before the New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year is already permeating everywhere in Nishikino Town.

Brand new pine trees have been placed in front of some people's homes.

Pedestrians can be seen everywhere holding newly bought mirror cakes, Kadomatsu and other things in their arms.

Although Japan also celebrates New Year's Eve and New Year, Japanese New Year's Eve and New Year customs are quite different from Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year customs.

Japanese New Year has the custom of placing Kagami Mochi at home.

In Japanese traditional culture, rice cakes have always been a sacred food dedicated to the gods, and rice cakes are often seen in various celebrations and festivals.

Jingbing is a kind of oblate rice cake specially enshrined to the gods.

Because it is a sacrifice to the gods, mirror cakes are generally placed in the depths of the house away from the gate, which is equivalent to the "sovereign seat".

In addition to arranging Nakagami, Japanese New Year also has the custom of placing Kadomatsu in front of the house.

Because pine trees are evergreen all year round, in traditional Japanese culture, pine trees are a very auspicious tree, and it is said that gods inhabit them.

Every Chinese New Year, Kadomatsu will be placed outside the house.

In addition, there are various other customs, and so on.

Of course, whether it is mirror cakes or door pine, only families with a little spare money will buy and decorate them.

The kind of families that are so poor that they can't even eat a full meal naturally don't have the spare energy to toss about these customs.At most, I just clean up my home a little bit and make the New Year's Eve dinner as rich as possible.

A-Machi glanced at the passers-by who were holding newly bought mirror cakes, Kadomatsu, etc., and after thinking for a moment, pulled Ogata's sleeve.

"Let's go buy some Kagami cakes and Shimenawa too."

Before Ogata could reply, A-Machi went on to say:

"This is the first New Year's Eve between you and me. It would be a pity if we just messed around like this."

"Although it is impossible to place a door pine, it is still possible to place a mirror cake in the hotel room, decorate the dotted rope, and do a general cleaning of the room."

Although many New Year traditions in Japan are different from those in China, there are some similarities.

For example: During the New Year, we have to clean up our house.

There is no reason to refuse Ah-Ming's proposal.

So Ogata responded without thinking:

"Then after buying the clothes, let's go buy some Kagami cakes and Shimenawa."

The clothing store that Ogata and Atachi were going to was located in one of the busiest commercial streets in Nishinocho.

And if you want to go to that commercial street, you must pass the only shrine in Nishinocho: the "Nishei Shrine" that enshrines the famous great god Inari.

The period between the beginning of the year and the end of the year is one of the busiest times of the year for all shrines.

Japan has two major religions: the foreign "Buddhism" and the native "Shinto".

Shrines are to Shintoism what Buddhist temples are to Buddhism.

Every new year, whether it is a samurai or a commoner, it is customary to go to a nearby shrine to perform "New Year's worship" and make a wish to the gods, praying for the blessings of the gods in the new year.

Jinrong Shrine is the only shrine in Nishino Town. When the New Year comes, people from all over the city will come to Jinrong Shrine for New Year worship.

It is conceivable how much pressure the priests and maidens of Jinrong Shrine will be under such a large flow of people.

Therefore, as early as the beginning of December, the priests and maidens of this Jinrong Shrine began to get busy, preparing for the upcoming New Year.

At this time, when passing in front of Jinrong Shrine, Ogata happened to see two priestesses in white clothes and scarlet hakama leaving the Jinrong Shrine in a hurry.

Ogata has always thought that the shrine maiden costume of the white-clothed scarlet hakama is very beautiful.He quite likes this particular costume.

I thought about buying a miko costume for A-Machi to wear.

It's a pity that A-Ming rejected it without hesitation.

A-Machi was a half-Shinto believer.
