In this era of peace, although Ogata doesn't know what he's going to do or where he's going to go, Ogata knows that it's definitely right to make himself stronger.

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

It's certainly 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, it will be a waste of the system in your mind.

After 10 days of hard training, Ogata's personal level and Sakakiwara Ichito-ryu level are about to be upgraded.

You only need 150 XP points to get to level 9 if you are short of your level.

Sakakiwara is only 200 XP points short of the level to upgrade to 5 ranks.

At that point, you'll be able to earn skill points again.

On his first day in the Edo period, Ogata upgraded Sakakiwara Ichito-ryu by defeating Mikami-sama, earning 2 skill points.

And these two skill points, Ogata still retains, and they have not been used to improve his personal attributes or upgrade his sword skills.

The reason why I didn't add points was because Ogata intended to be cautious.

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

It has to be made of good steel on the cutting edge.

When you encounter a strong enemy in the future, you can spend these skills in one breath and in a targeted manner.

On the first day of his arrival in the Edo period, when he was competing against Senior Brother Mikami, Ogata used the only skill point he had at the time to improve his agility.

After feeling that his personal interface was really nothing to look at, he turned off the system interface in his mind and let his attention return to reality.

As soon as Ogata brought his attention back to reality, a soft female voice suddenly sounded at Ogata's side:

"Ogata-sama."

Ogata followed the prestige.

The person who spoke was none other than the only maid in the flowing house, Ah Fu.

Fukus was now looking at Ogata with a smile on his face, holding a plate with a small pot of sake and a few strings of glutinous rice balls on it.

Looking at this pot of sake, as well as these strings of glutinous rice balls, Ogata smiled helplessly.

"Miss Afu, I'm going to be embarrassed if you always invite me to eat like this......"

"Ogata-sama, you're welcome. Take this as our thank you gift and accept it with peace of mind. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to do business properly now. ”

With that, Fukus placed the plate of sake and glutinous rice balls beside Ogata, then turned back to the back kitchen and continued to help Misaki prepare the meal.

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

After sighing helplessly, Ogata directly picked up the pot of sake and drank it to his mouth.

Ever since he became the "security guard" of the streamhouse, Asaki has been inviting Ogata to drink and eat twice a day.

It's a little embarrassing for Ogata.

Because Ogata always felt that his workload was not too big, and he was always eating and drinking from other people's food, which was really a little ashamed.

Ogata also explicitly or implied more than once that Aki and Afuku no longer need to invite him to eat and drink, but the two of them did not listen to Ogata's words once, and still warmly welcomed Ogata.

Ogata also tasted the taste of sake from the Edo period for the first time because of Aki's hospitality.

When he was on Earth, Ogata didn't think sake was very good.

However, I don't know if it was because of the lack of good food and good food after coming to the Edo period, and the mouth was too light, but Ogata drank the sake served by Afuku for the first time, and he thought it was quite delicious.

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

Ogata took a sip of the sake in the pot while nibbling on the strings of glutinous rice balls.

Ogata's salary is paid daily, so Ogata receives his salary from Akina every day.

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

At the same time, you can also eat some snacks from Aki and Afu every night to increase the saltiness and sweetness in your mouth.

The current quality of life, although not a difference from the previous quality of life, is also completely different.

Through these 10 days of getting along, Ogata also gradually learned some about the past of Misaki and Fuku.

Misaki is a widow.

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

I lost my husband at a young age, and I have to say that it was quite unfortunate.

But Aki is quite strong.

With the experience she learned from her deceased husband in running an izakaya, she opened a new izakaya by herself, which is this drifthouse.

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

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

In an extremely fortuitous situation, Misaki meets Afuku.

Misaki took pity on Ah Fu's background, so he bought Ah Fu and named him "Ah Fu", and asked her to act as a maid in the drift house.

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

Thinking of this, Xu Yi admired Aki even more.

Misaki is a widow with her adopted daughter and runs an izakaya without the help of any man - which is too strong.

……

……

The next day—

Early in the morning –

The most hated time of the day is during the day.

Because every day of the day, Ogata has to deal with the boring work of the treasurer.

Filled with great displeasure, Ogata stepped into his office.

Most of Ogata's colleagues were seated at their desks and began their work.

- Alas, let's get to work......

Ogata sat down at his desk with a state of mind to go to the execution ground.

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

"That...... Everybody! Stop what you're doing! I have important things to tell you. ”

As soon as the old voice fell, Xu Yi and the rest of the colleagues in the room stopped what they were doing with each other and followed the prestige.

The person who spoke was Ogata's boss, the "leader" of their group of treasury officers.

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

"Everyone's going to cheer up after that."

"Five days later, on May 20th, the Lord Guild will come to inspect the inventory of all kinds of materials in our Hirose Domain's treasury."
