[It's good that your grandfather is happy, I don't care. 】

[Hmph! You too! 】

Ayano ran out in a huff.

[Stinky girl, don't run far, let's go to dinner together in the evening! ] 】

[Got it!! 】

Ayano's voice seemed to be going crazy.

[Haha, wise lord, don't be surprised, my granddaughter is such a temper, but she is usually very well-behaved. 】

Wise Kogoro felt powerless for a while, your girl is usually very well-behaved? I've been taught bad by you a long time ago, okay!

【Wise Lord, please!】 】

An apprentice stood up from the table in a playful manner, and Akekogoro sat down.

[Lord Takenomiya, I can't see that you still like to play mahjong.] 】

[General...... Come on, shuffle the cards. 】

When it came to the ninth lap, Wise Kogoro suddenly asked:

[Lord Takenomiya, do you have any rules on the Ueno side? 】

[Huh? 】

[I'm asking, when you win, how many times can you reach the full?] 】

[Like the Kyoto side, it's all triple as the upper limit.] 】

[Well, I'm nonsense! 】

Genius Mahjong Girl...... Oh no, boy, no, it's not right, the genius mahjong young man Akekogoro pounced on his mahjong tiles on the table.

10,000 to 90,000 are neatly arranged, among them, 10,000 and 90,000 each have three bamboo palaces!

[Dragon Descending from Heaven (Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern)! Hu Sanzhu's palace is 90,000! Originally, it was eighty-eight, but according to the threefold service, you have to count me another two hundred and sixty-four. So, a total of ......]

Takenomiya Hataro. There were also three of his other apprentices, including the two tea women. After seeing the gorgeous cards of Wise Kogoro, their eyes widened and they didn't blink, after all, this kind of [Heavenly Card] descended from the sky by the dragon, which is very rare, except for the long-standing Takenomiya Hataro, I'm afraid the other four people have never seen it in their lives.

Wise Kogoro took a sip of tea. Said with some pride:

[I don't dare to say anything else, mahjong...... Hmph, I dare say, I'm afraid I can't find an opponent who can win against me in every corner of Japan! 】

Yes, Wise Kogoro has a natural inspiration and extraordinary memory for mahjong games since his previous life, when he was still called Haya. This makes him almost invincible at the mahjong table, and even Oda Nobunaga is no match.

(By the way, inspiration and memory are only good when playing mahjong, and this person has often had a hard time playing other cards in his previous life.) Even the simplest card game, UNN, is always blown up by a group of children)

It took a long time for Takenomiya Hataro to react, and he looked at Wise Kogoro.

【Wise Lord.】 I really didn't expect you to have this kind of talent. I was still wondering if I should be humble to you, but now it seems ......]

[Hahaha. You'd better not show mercy...... I'm going to kill all of you today! 】

Seeing the appearance of wise Kogoro [Lao Tzu is the best in the world, if you are not convinced, come and bite me], several other people immediately felt that this guy is really underwhelmed!

Takenomiya Hataro rubbed his temples and said:

[Don't get complacent too soon, I'll only start now!] 】

Half an hour later.

On the table, except for Akechi Kogoro, they all looked dejected.

The money he won from Takenomiya Hataro and a few people has already exceeded five or six hundred taels.

[Don't be complacent too early, sooner or later I will win back your money, as well as your own money! 】

[You've already said this before, I've been proud for a long time, to be honest, I'm tired of playing, let's stop here. 】

Wise Kogoro looked at the chips in front of him, which were piled as high as a pile of grain, and then looked at it, the master and apprentice had already killed red eyes, and immediately felt that this game was not too interesting, unless he deliberately released the water, otherwise even if he fought until dawn tomorrow, they would not be able to win.

[That's it?] ……】

Takenomiya Hataro's expression was stunned, and then he let out a long sigh.

[Forget it, just do as you say...... It seems that I am not as capable as you in playing mahjong. 】

[Generally average, but it's just a recreational activity at most, just treat it as gambling, lighter people, will be addicted, can't extricate themselves, heavier people, will also induce illegal crimes. The winner has money, spends as much as he wants, forgets the virtue of thrift and thrift, and the loser runs out of money, and is in debt, and in order to pay off the gambling debt, some even take risks, defraud, steal, and kill people ......]

[Okay, okay......]

Takenomiya Hataro can't stand it anymore, and if Wise Kogoro is verbose, it's also a troublesome thing.

[Okay, let's disperse the mahjong, it's rare that the wise man is here, I want to catch up with him.] 】

[Hi Yi. 】

Several apprentices were relieved, they all knew that if this continued, wise Kogoro would win everyone's money.

[I really thought that you were Ayano's grandfather, no wonder you were so enthusiastic about me when I was in Echigo? 】

[Of course. 】

Takenomiya Hataro was not polite at all.

[For me, the war between the samurai is the most boring ......]

[Aren't you also a samurai? Why did you open a dojo? 】

[Because I want to make money!] …… In general, you saved my family, I also saved you, and I gave you ideas, and the two of us have settled their accounts...... By the way, where have you been all this time? Why don't you come to me? Also, How do you get with Ayano? 】

[That's a long story, Ben came to Ueno, before I met you again, I had to say hello to Lord Shibata, the lord of the country here, and then he pulled me to eat and drink, and left me behind. As for Ayano. I rescued her when I saw her in the tavern having a conflict with someone else in the dojo...... That's right. How do you teach people? How did Ayano become like this? Was she very well-behaved back then? 】

[People, there will always change. 】

Takenomiya Hataro looked indifferent.

[Ayano likes to fight. Just let her have a good time......]

[Don't be irresponsible! If she causes a big disaster, can you take it all for him?! 】

[What are you doing so fierce?! 】

Hearing the wise Kogoro shouting loudly, Takenomiya Hataro was also on fire.

[She's my granddaughter, not yours!] I'll take care of it, what are you meddling in?! 】

[Even if it's your granddaughter, I can't watch you take her badly! 】

These two people, like divorced parents fighting for custody of their children, quarreled.

[Do you know that Ayano almost died today. If I hadn't shown up! 】

[Hmph! Don't talk nonsense! My Bamboo Palace is also considered to have some face in Ueno, who would dare to kill my people? 】

[The people of the Katori Dojo, their sect master Dai Yuancheng is not a guy to mess with, are you sure you can eat it?! ] 】

[Dai Yuancheng? Who is this? Haven't heard of it. 】

[Okay, don't make any noise! 】

Just when the two of them were in the palace of swords-rattling, the person concerned appeared in time.

[Ayano, you're so self-conscious, Mr. Takenomiya...... Leave! 】

[Eh, don't go.] 】

【Wise Lord.】 Wait a minute. 】

Just as Akechi Kogoro was about to leave angrily, Ayano and Takenomiya Hataro reached out at the same time and grabbed his arm one left and one right......

[Huh, is this your dojo? It's huge. It is estimated that there are 100 tatami mats......]

Wise Kogoro, accompanied by the two Takenomiya masters, came to their newly opened dojo in Maebashi Castle.

Not to mention, this place is really not ordinary. Wise Kogoro feels that the light is the main hall. It's the size of two basketball courts, and there is a banner hanging on the main seat: Martial arts are long!

When Wise Kogoro saw this. It feels like I've traveled back in time to World War II.

There were several disciples who were practicing martial arts, and when they saw Takenomiya Hataro, they bowed in unison:

[Master! 】

[Well, you're not lazy, are you? 】

[Nope! 】

[That's fine, I'll introduce it to you, this is ...... This is a sword hero from Kyoto, Mr. Akechi. 】

[Please advise. 】

[Please advise. 】……

When Wise Kogoro was wondering why Takenomiya Hataro didn't introduce his real name to others, the latter then introduced himself and said:

[These are my unsuccessful apprentices...... Ohno, Matsumoto, Sakurai, Ninomiya and Aiba. 】

[Hmm...... Jianhao or something is a false name, and I ask the five to give me a lot of advice. 】

The five disciples were lukewarm, and they seemed to have an inexplicable hostility towards the identity of Wise Kogoro's [Sword Hero].

At this time, a disciple hurriedly walked over, put his hand in Takenomiya's Hataro's ear, and whispered a few words, and Takenomiya's expression suddenly became ugly.

[Aya, you come to entertain Mr. Wise, I'm going to do something.] 】

[Got it.] 】……

With a grim expression, Takenomiya Hataro and his disciples came to the storeroom behind the dojo, where two other disciples were already waiting.

[Sir.] 】

[Sir.] 】

[When did things disappear?] 】

[I don't know, when we finished lunch and wanted to come back to get something, we found that the key to the warehouse was actually inserted into the lock, and we felt that something was wrong, so we pushed open the warehouse door......]

As they spoke, the two men pushed the door of the storeroom open.

A typical old-style Japanese warehouse with empty rooms covered with wooden boards. There was really nothing except some tatami piled up in the corner of the room that had been piled up for a long time. There was a wooden sliding door to the storeroom opposite, and when the door opened, there was a smell of mold coming from inside. There were several bamboo palace tatami erected on the walls, miscellaneous things were also stacked high, and there were several iron swords of poor workmanship hanging on the hooks on the walls. All the windows, including the things in the storeroom, were sealed well, and they did not move at all.

Takenomiya Hataro shook his head after investigating the windows on three sides. (To be continued.) )
