"Whew...... ......Shh Call...... Woohoo......"

The cold, dry wind poured into Ogata's throat from afar.

Swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Like water flowing into the parched ground, the warm saliva moistened Ogata's dry throat, making Ogata feel a slight tingling in his throat and a little more comfortable in his throat.

In Ogata's memory, this was the first time he had run so desperately since he came to the Edo period.

The stream house finally appeared in Ogata's field of vision.

- It's here! It's here! It's okay! It should be fine! Those people in the distant mountains should not be so mad as to bully two weak women!

Ogata rushed into the flow house in one go.

But I didn't find Ah Fu's busy figure.

I didn't hear Aki tinkering with drinks and ingredients from the kitchen.

I only heard the sound of a soft conversation from the second floor, and the sound of low sobs was already low.

The sense of foreboding in Ogata's heart was already extremely strong.

After quickly climbing to the second floor and opening the door to the room where the sound came from, he saw Ah Fu, Ah Saki, and a middle-aged man with a shaved head and a doctor's dress.

Ah Fu lay in the bed, his eyes closed.

Aki sat on her knees, trying to tears.

The doctor knelt on the other side of the bed and touched Ah Fu's belly with a serious face.

"Thread...... Ogata-sama......? What are you doing here? ”

"Misaki!" Ogata walked quickly to Aki's side, then knelt down on one knee, looked at Fuku on the bed with an anxious expression, and then looked at Aki with half of her cheeks swollen, "What the hell is going on?!" ”

"It's the samurai who harassed Ah Fu before, who made ......! He suddenly broke into the stream house with several samurai. ”

"I said I was looking for you."

"We said you weren't there."

"But they didn't believe it and wanted to forcibly enter our house and search it."

"Ah Fu won't let them in."

So they ......"

Speaking of this, Misaki couldn't say any more, raised his hands, hid his face and cried.

Even if Aki didn't say anything, Ogata could guess what was going to happen next.

Afuku, who was already lying on the bed with a half-swollen face and was being diagnosed by a doctor, had already told Ogata what had happened next.

Ogata's face began to darken at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The right hand on the lap and the left hand that naturally hangs down also began to clench slowly.

The samurai who had harassed Afu before - of course Ogata recognized who he was.

Itagaki is the Ishikawa Sword Museum!

Too many things happened on the night that Itagaki harassed Ah Fu, which was impressive.

It was hard for Ogata to forget all the details of everything that night.

At this moment, the doctor on the side finally ended the diagnosis of Ah Fu.

"There's nothing wrong with your daughter. There were no major injuries, just a lot of bruises on his body. ”

The doctor said.

"Just rest for a while. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to restore your body's vitality. ”

Hearing the doctor say this, the big stone that had been hanging on Aki's heart finally fell.

Misaki hurriedly folded her hands and kept thanking the doctor.

At this moment, Ah Fu, who had been closing his eyes just now, slowly opened his eyes at this time.

Ogata, who was the first to notice Ah Fuku's eyes, hurriedly leaned down and looked at Ah Fu who had just woken up with an anxious face:

"Ah Fu! What do you think? Are you feeling well? ”

Afu first looked at Ogata in front of him with a blank gaze.

Then he looked at Misaki and the doctor next to him.

"Miss Aki...... Ogata-sama...... Sorry ......"

One by one, the words with a crying voice spat out of Ah Fu's mouth.

"I ...... I stained the clothes you two gave me......"

With that, large tears rolled out of Ah Fu's eyes.

Hearing Fuku's words, Ogata noticed that in the corner of this room, there was a touch of cherry blossoms.

Ogata looked.

This cherry blossom color is the cherry blossom-colored Wu costume he bought for Ah Fu in a joint venture with Asaki before.

If it weren't for what Fukus had just said, Ogata would have mistakenly thought that it was just a rag that had been thrown aside......

“…… Miss Aki, did the Itagaki gang get this dress dirty? ”

"Hmm......" Misaki nodded as she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Now in ancient society, there were no washing machines, and there were no strong laundry detergents.

The garment had been so dirty that it was difficult to wash it thoroughly by hand alone.

“…… Miss Afu. Ogata raised his finger and gently wiped the tears from Fuku's face, "Don't be sad, getting dirty clothes is just a trivial matter, just buy another one." ”

"But...... But ......'s tears still didn't stop.

When Afu seemed to want to say something more, Ogata had already taken the lead and said:

"Miss Ah Fu, you should have a good rest first."

With that, he turned his head and looked at the doctor who was kneeling across from him.

"Doctor, please be sure to prescribe the best medicine to Miss Afu. I will pay for all the medicines truthfully. ”

"No problem. Please rest assured, Lord Samurai, I will definitely get Miss Afuku's body in good condition as soon as possible. ”

"Ogata-sama." Misaki said urgently, "How can I let you break the bank!" ”

"Miss Aki, please don't be polite to me. I am responsible for the fact that you and Miss Ah Fu are in this situation today. Miss Ah Fu's medicine money will be on my head. ”

With that, Ogata held the two swords on his left waist and slowly stood up.

"Miss Misaki, you continue to stay here and take care of Miss Afu. I'm going to go out. ”

"...... out? Ogata-sama, where are you going? ”

“…… Ishikawa Kenkan. ”

After leaving this sentence, Xu Yi left from Asaki's field of vision without any nostalgia.

Aki: They didn't even have time to stop Ogata.

……

……

Ogata walked briskly through the bustling streets.

Even though there were many men, women, and children in front of him, who were standing, walking, or running, Ogata did not slow down his pace in the slightest.

"Hmm...... Feed! You bastard! I walked without eyes! Uh......"

Ogata, who was heading straight ahead, bumped into the shoulder of a strong man who passed him.

Although he bumped into someone else, Ogata still had no intention of stopping, and continued to walk forward without saying a word, without apologizing to the strong man.

The brawny man seems to have a strong temper, and immediately after being hit on the shoulder by Ogata, he angrily calls Ogata a "bastard" and loudly reprimands him for "not having eyes".

He wanted to scold Ogata a few more words, but after seeing the saber on Ogata's left waist and the look on Ogata's face, he forcibly swallowed the swear words that had already come to his lips.

Replaced by a groan of astonishment and fear.
