I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Chapter 13: Competitions in the Hall and Contests with the Gods (Part 1)

In this era of peace, although Ogata didn't know what he was going to do in the future and where he was going, Ogata knew that it was definitely right to make himself stronger.

The system in his mind was the foundation of his life in the Edo period.

It is definitely not a wrong thing to rely on this system to make yourself stronger.

If you don't quickly rely on the system in your mind to become stronger, you will be reckless and waste the system in your mind too much.

After 10 days of hard training, Ogata's personal level and Sakakibara's Ichidou level are about to be upgraded.

The personal level is only 150 experience points away from being promoted to level 9.

Sakakibara's Ichikatsu level is only 200 experience points short of being able to rise to rank 5.

At that time, you can get skill points again.

On the first day of the Edo period, Ogata upgraded Sakakibara Ichidou-ryu's level by defeating his brother Mikami and gained 2 skill points.

And these 2 skill points, Ogata still keeps them until now, and they haven't been used to improve his personal attributes or upgrade his sword skills.

The reason for not adding points is because Ogata intends to be cautious.

Skill points are quite precious and should not be used indiscriminately - this is the conclusion that Ogata came to after investigating the system for the first time.

Good steel must be used on the blade.

Wait until you encounter a strong enemy in the future, and then use these skills in one breath and in a targeted manner.

On the first day of coming to the Edo period, when competing with senior brother Mikami, Ogata used his only skill point at that time in a targeted manner to improve his agility.

After feeling that there was really nothing interesting about his personal interface, Xu conveniently closed the system interface in his mind and let his attention return to reality.

Just as Ogata brought his attention back to reality, a soft female voice suddenly sounded beside Ogata:

"Master Ogata."

Ogata followed the reputation.

The person who spoke was the only maid in Liuwu——Ah Fu.

Ah Fu is now looking at Ogata with a smile on his face, holding a plate in his hand with a small pot of sake and a few strings of glutinous rice balls on the plate.

Looking at the pot of sake and the bunches of glutinous rice balls, Ogata smiled helplessly.

"Miss Afu, you always invite me to eat like this, I will feel embarrassed..."

"Master Ogata, please don't be too polite. Take this as our thank you gift, and accept it with peace of mind. Without your help, we would not be able to do business properly now."

After finishing speaking, Ah Fu put the plate containing sake and glutinous rice balls beside Ogata, then turned back to the back kitchen, and continued to help Ah Saki prepare the dishes.

Ogata looked at the back of Ah Fu who had disappeared from his field of vision, and then looked at the pot of sake and the strings of glutinous rice balls beside him.

After sighing with helplessness on his face, Ogata directly picked up the pot of sake and drank it to his mouth.

Since becoming the "security guard" of the flow house, Azaki would invite Ogata to drink and eat every three days.

This made Ogata a little embarrassed.

Because Ogata always feels that his workload is not too much, and he always eats and drinks other people's food, which is really a bit ashamed.

Ogata also expressed or hinted more than once that Saki and Afu no longer need to invite him to eat or drink, but the two never listened to these words of Ogata, and they still continued to entertain him warmly. Ogata.

Ogata also tasted the taste of sake from the Edo period for the first time because of the hospitality of Saki and the others.

When he was on Earth before, Ogata didn't think sake was so delicious.

But I don’t know if it’s because after the Edo period, due to the lack of delicious and delicious food, Ogata’s mouth was too pale. After drinking the sake served by Ah Fu for the first time, Ogata,

It was quite delicious.

Since then, Ooi has fallen in love with drinking sake.

Ogata drank the sake in the jug in small sips, and gnawed on the sticks of glutinous rice balls.

Ogata's salary is settled daily, so Ogata can receive his salary from Azaki every day.

Thanks to this part-time job, Ogata's quality of life has finally improved a little bit, and now he can eat porridge with more rice in every meal.

At the same time, every night, I can also eat some snacks for Azaki and Afu's treats from time to time, adding some salty and sweet taste in my mouth.

Compared with the previous quality of life, although the current quality of life cannot be regarded as cloud and mud, it is still quite different.

Through these 10 days of getting along, Ogata also gradually learned about the past of A Saki and A Fu.

Asaki is a widow.

Two years ago, his husband who opened an izakaya died of illness.

Losing her husband at such a young age, I have to say—it was quite unfortunate.

But Asaki is quite strong.

Relying on the izakaya management experience she learned from her deceased husband, she opened a new izakaya that belongs to her alone—that is, this flowing house.

And Ah Fu was an orphan who was almost sold to the brothel.

At that time, Ah Fu didn't even have a name.

In an extremely accidental situation, Ah Saki met Ah Fu.

A Saki felt sorry for Ah Fu's life experience, so she bought Ah Fu, named her "A Fu", and asked her to act as a maid in a wandering house.

Therefore, Ah Saki can be regarded as Ah Fu's adoptive mother.

Thinking of this, Ooyoung admired Saki even more.

As a widow, Saki took her adopted daughter and ran an izakaya without the help of any man-this is really too strong.

...

...

the next day—

In the early hours of the morning—

The time that Ogata hates the most every day is during the daytime.

Because every day during the day, Ogata has to deal with the boring work of the warehouse officer.

Ogata stepped into his office with a feeling of extreme displeasure.

Ogata's colleagues have basically sat down at their desks and started their work.

—Hey, let's get to work...

Ogata sat in front of his desk with the mentality of going to the execution ground.

However, as soon as Ogata's butt touched his heels, an old voice suddenly came from the side of the room:

"That... Everyone! Stop what you are doing! I have something important to explain to you."

As soon as the old voice fell, Xu Bian and the rest of the colleagues in the room stopped what they were doing and followed the sound.

The person who spoke was Ogata's superior, the "leader" of their group of warehouse officials.

After everyone in the room focused their attention on the boss, the boss cleared his throat, and then continued:

"Everyone has to cheer up from now on."

"Five days later—that is, on May 20th, the lord will come to check the inventory of various materials in our Hirose Domain treasury."
