I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

As soon as the voice of "Ogata" came to an end, I suddenly felt a blur in front of my eyes!

The Sakakibara Sword Gym under his feet was like a piece of burnt plastic, the ceiling, walls, and floor were all melting and distorting.

Before Ogata could exclaim in the future, the Sakakibara Sword Gym under his feet melted and reorganized into a new scene.

A rather rowdy new scene.

"He's running out of strength! Quick! Surround him!"

"He's running towards you!"

"Come on!"

Hearing these slightly familiar calls, Ogata was taken aback and quickly turned his head, scanning his surroundings.

Another place that is quite familiar to Ogata.

Ogata looked in the direction where the shouts came from.

He saw the third himself.

The third "he" is fighting bloody battle with double knives, fighting with hundreds of warriors who are advancing one after another.

And not far from the battlefield, Matsudaira Gennai, who was sitting on a big rock, seemed to be watching an outstanding performance while watching with relish how his subordinates risked their lives to fight for him while showing a happy expression laugh.

"This is the first fierce battle we have experienced since the Edo period."

The wooden knife in "Ogata" had disappeared at this moment, and he stood beside Ogata with his hands behind his back, looking at the bloody battlefield not far away together with Ogata.

"Fighting hundreds of warriors with one's own strength, it's a shame that we had such a crazy idea back then."

"Ah, I almost forgot to say that you can now understand that the two of us are watching a movie."

"It doesn't matter if I am fighting with Matsudaira Gennai's subordinates, or Matsudaira Gennai and their subordinates, we can see them, they can't see us and they can't touch us."

"So don't think about rushing over to support yourself."

"I feel like I'm losing my mind." Ogata closed his eyes tightly, raised his hands tiredly and rubbed the center of his brows vigorously, "Where is this place and why did I suddenly transfer here from the Sakakibara Sword Gym. "

"Oh!" At this moment, a scream came into Ogata's ears.

There should be no one who is more familiar with this voice than Ogata because it is his own voice.

He opened his eyes and raised his head, looking at the battlefield not far away, the third "he" accidentally exposed a flaw due to the decline in physical strength, causing the enemy to slash his left shoulder.

The pain in the left shoulder made the third "Ogata" involuntarily let out a low cry of pain.

Ever since he drew his sword and rushed towards these hundreds of warriors, he had suffered such injuries for a long time.

His body was covered with cuts and bruises, and blood gushed out, staining the clothes on his body into bloody clothes, his physical strength declined, and his hands and feet were no longer in control.

I have almost no power to fight anymore, but my eyes are still crowded with countless enemies.

No matter how you look at it, the battle has already been decided.

However, this "Ogata", who had just been stabbed in the left shoulder, did not show any timidity or fear.

Even if I have been scarred.

Even if it seems that he has no chance of winning at present.

He still opened his round pupils that seemed to be burning with flames, and persistently slashed out the knife in his hand at the enemy in front of him.

"You didn't know at that time that you were about to make your first breakthrough, and you didn't know that you were going to enter the realm of selflessness."

Standing beside Ogata, "Ogata" with his hands behind his back, turned around slowly, and asked in an interrogating tone:

"The battle situation at that time was hopeless no matter how you looked at it."

"But why don't you put down the knife in your hand?"

"Why doesn't the light in your eyes dissipate?"

Facing the calm gaze cast by "Ogata", Ogata was startled, and then slowly turned his gaze back to himself who was still fighting bloody in front of him.

"Because I don't want to just lose," he said.

"Why don't you want to lose?" Another self asked.

"If I lose"

Ogata lowered his head, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head again, looking at the "self" who was fighting bloody battle with firm eyes.

"If I just fell down like this, I don't know how long this bastard Matsudaira Gennai will be at large. I don't know how many innocent people will be poisoned by him. My master, brothers, and others who were killed by Matsudaira Gennai I don’t know how long it will take for the victims’ grievances to be resolved.”

"So I can't fall."

"No matter how much pain I suffer, I can't fall down!"

"Ogata" showed a happy smile as if he was very satisfied with Ogata's answer.

Then the scene around Ogata melts, distorts, and reassembles into a new scene again.

This new scene is very hot.

Another scene that is quite familiar to Ogata is Nijo Castle in Kyoto.

Ogata looked forward, and sure enough, he saw himself again.

Now in chaos, on the castle tower of Nijo Castle, he once again fought to the death with the ninjas in Shiranui and the lunatics who tried to blow up Kyoto.

As for "Ogata", he was still smiling, standing beside Ogata with his hands behind his back.

"Kyoto is really a memorable city for us."

"Here, we reunited with A-cho."

"When I saw Ah-Machi on the street, I was so happy."

"Ogata" smirked, and poked Ogata's side with his elbow.

"After all, we already had a good impression of Machi at that time."

"People in the world must never have imagined that the famous Ogata is also an ordinary person, and he will fall in love at first sight with a girl who fits his own aesthetics."

"When I met A-cho for the first time on Butterfly Island, I was fascinated by him. If it weren't for being fascinated by A-cho, you might not have agreed to A-cho's invitation to form a team. If A-cho Ding is an ugly girl, you don't care about her."

Being pointed out the truth about the reason why he agreed to form a team with A-Machi in the first place, even though "myself" was the one who pointed out the truth, Ogata still couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression.

And "Ogata" seemed to reveal Ogata's little secret just to see Ogata's embarrassing expression. To the battlefield ahead that was almost surrounded by flames.

"This is our second tough fight."

"Fight against the ninjas of Shiranui and the thugs trying to make Kyoto a dead city at the castle tower of Nijo Castle, which has been engulfed in flames."

"Ha, this should be our highest-level battlefield so far."

"Start the battle on the castle tower of Nijo Castle, Kyoto."

"It was another tough fight with several near-deaths."

"You could have avoided this battle."

"But why did you finally choose to draw the knife?"

"Because I want to protect A-Machi." Ogata's answer this time was much faster than the previous answer, "A-Machi, who defected from Shiranui, is being chased by Shiranui's pursuers."

"And those chasing soldiers are now gathered in Erjo Castle in Kyoto, serving as guards for those who are holding a banquet in Erjo Castle."

"That night, that Nijo Castle, was the only chance for me to catch all those pursuers of A-Ming in one go."

"If this opportunity is missed, God knows what those chasing soldiers will do to Ding."

"So I don't want to miss this opportunity to kill them all."

"Protect A-Machi?" Ogata nodded with a smile, "What else? The reason why you attacked Nijo Castle in one go was not only for A-Machi, right?"

Ogata pursed his lips, thinking and remembering.

But before he could think for a long time, "Ogata" interrupted his thinking with a smile.

"Let me answer for you this time."

"To protect the innocent people in Kyoto, right?"

Although "Ogata" added a "right?" at the end of this sentence, the tone did not have the tone that a question sentence should have, and it used the tone of an affirmative sentence.

"The capital that night was really almost blown away by those lunatics."

"If those thugs who intend to destroy the capital succeed, how many innocent people will die tragically in the capital."

"So, you decided to lure those thugs who intend to burn the capital and attack you to the most conspicuous building in Kyoto: Nijo Castle, and eliminate these thugs and A-Machi's pursuers at the same time."

"At the same time, it was also the belief in protecting A-machi and the people of Kyoto that supported you in defeating all the enemies in Nijo Castle."

"You seem to know myself better than I do." Ogata pursed his lips and said softly.

"From a certain point of view, it is true. Ogata" smiled.

The surrounding scene melts, distorts, and reorganizes into a new scene again at this moment.

This new scene is very cold.

"Is this the Red Moon Fortress this time?" Ogata looked down at the city wall under his feet.

"This place is very, very familiar to us. Ogata" seems to have a different personality from Ogata. He seems to be more cheerful, with a smile on his face almost all the time, "After all, we Soon, I will be drinking and chatting with the Ainu people here."

At this time, the two of them were standing on the inner wall of the Red Moon Fortress.

Surrounded by people from the Red Moon Fortress who were standing guard.

They were all staring at the seemingly endless shogunate barracks outside the city with vigilant eyes.

"This battle is our third. It's also the biggest."

"Ogata" put his hands on the battlements in front of him, looked at the military camp outside the city, and then said in a joking tone:

"Fight against the [-]-strong army of the shogunate. Before, we only fought with hundreds of enemies at most."

"And this time in this battle, we fought against an army of tens of thousands in one breath."

"After this war, people in later generations will always remember that during the Kansei period of Japan, there was a swordsman who could defeat even the shogunate's army."

"You don't want to ask me again why I took the risk to meet the [-] troops of the shogunate?" Ogata walked slowly to "Ogata".

"As expected of me. You got the answer right. Ogata" the smile on his face became brighter, "Why are you fighting this kind of battle that ordinary people dare not even think about?"

"It's also to protect A-cho this time." Ogata responded without thinking, "A-cho was healing in this Red Moon Fortress at that time, and she needed to be taken care of for a long time. During this time, she couldn't move."

Before Ogata finished speaking, "Ogata" interrupted his words:

"Aside from protecting A-Machi, what else is there? What's the other reason?"

Xu Fang paused.

After a pause, Ogata lowered his head slightly, thinking.

And "Ogata" also patiently put his hands behind his back this time, quietly waiting for Ogata's answer with a faint smile on his face.

After an unknown amount of time passed, I heard Ogata say in a low voice:

"Also for everyone in Red Moon Fortress who helped me a lot."

A bright smile appeared on the face of "Ogata".

He took Ogata's words:

"The reason why we chose to face the 1 shogunate army is not just to protect A-cho, who currently needs to rest in the Red Moon Fortress for a period of time."

"It's also for the Red Moon Fortress."

"The Ainu who live in this fortress have helped us a lot."

"Help us find Xuanzheng and Xuanzhi."

"When A-Ming was seriously injured and needed urgent treatment, they were also the ones who provided A-Ming with medicines, and they saved A-Ming's life in disguise."

"In order to protect A-cho, and to repay the favor, we rode on horses, picked up swords, and launched a desperate blow to the [-]-strong army of the shogunate."

"For a long time, we have held the knife tightly in order to protect important people, for a simple sense of justice, to repay the benefactor who has done us a favor, and for various other reasons."

"At the same time, our victory in this fierce battle cannot be separated from the support of these beliefs."

The surrounding screen changed again.

Ogata looked around and he and "Origahara" returned to the very beginning: Sakakihara Sword Gym.

"Ogata Yishi. After watching the scene just now, how do you feel?"
