It wasn't until this series of systematic sounds fell in his mind that Ogata finally had the extra energy to listen to what everyone in the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion in front of him was roaring.

"Ogata Esuse! You despicable villain! He used such a despicable method to mutilate my senior brother! ”

"Give me my life for the rest!"

"You despicable and shameless fellow! Win in such a dirty way! Are you still a decent samurai?! ”

……

In response to these accusations from the disciples of the Ishikawa Kenkan, the corners of Ogata's mouth curled up with a touch of mockery.

"Despicable?"

Ogata said softly.

"Meanness and shamelessness are just an excuse for losers, as long as you can win, whatever you do is right."

Ogata's words are tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

The people, who were already angry at the killing of the distant mountains, drew their swords one after another.

The next moment when the people of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion pulled out their swords, the people of the Sakakiwara Sword Hall led by Hanbei also pulled out their swords.

"Get out of the way!" The half-guard yelled at the rank disciples of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion.

"What are you all doing here!" Ishikawa Terama's arrival was late at this time, "Take back the knife for me!" ”

Ishikawa's words and tone were harsh.

But the disciples of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion, who were already angry, couldn't listen to their master's words anymore.

They clenched their sabers tightly and glared viciously at Ogata, who was protected by the people of the Sakakibara Sword Pavilion, and vowed to kill Ogata to avenge the killing of Toyama.

And the masters and apprentices of the Sakakiwara Sword Hall also vowed to protect Ogata.

Seeing that a big scuffle is about to break out-

"Enough!"

A loud drink full of breath suddenly exploded.

Affected by this full of energy, most of the murderous aura on the martial arts field dissipated, and everyone on the field turned their heads according to the sound.

The owner of this big drink is naturally the old man in the audience - Kuranaga.

Kuranaga stood up from his small stool at this time, and scanned the crowd in the arena with a flat gaze.

"Take the knife back for me!"

"Are you planning to start a scuffle right under my nose?"

"Everyone watched the whole battle just now."

"Every knife of Yuanshan-kun is fatal, and every knife is rushing to take the life of Ogataka-kun."

"Since you have the idea of killing the other party and fighting with others, you must also be prepared for the consciousness of being killed."

"Toyama-kun wanted to kill Ogata-kun, but because of his poor swordsmanship, he was killed by Ogata-kun instead—this is reasonable and irrefutable."

As soon as Cangyong's words fell, some nobles in the audience echoed one after another:

"That's right. The eldest of the family is right. ”

"Both of them have taken out real knives to compete, and there will definitely be casualties."

"If you don't have good swordsmanship, you will be killed by your opponent - this is reasonable, and I don't think there is anything to blame for this."

……

These people who echoed Kurayong did not necessarily agree with what Kuranaga said just now.

The reason why they echoed Kuraga was purely to have a good impression in front of Kuraga and get close to Kuranaga.

Everyone in the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion obviously heard that Kuranaga intended to protect Ogata, so they all looked anxious.

"My lord!" One of the disciples of the Ishikawa Kenkan shouted, "This Ogata Itsei has won with such a despicable technique!" We can't stand it! ”

"Despicable?" As soon as this disciple's words fell, Kuranaga sneered a few times as if he had heard some funny joke, "Ogata-kun said it right just now, meanness and shamelessness are just an excuse for losers, as long as you can win, whatever you do is right." ”

"You have to beat your opponent with dignity? This rule only applies to sword training with people in the dojo! In the real death match, who cares about benevolence, morality, and integrity?! ”

"Put the knife away for me! Today's contest is the victory of Ogata Itsei! No one is allowed to say anything more, and no one is allowed to have any embarrassment for Ogata-kun! ”

Hearing Kuronaga's sonorous and powerful words, everyone present showed a look of astonishment.

Whether it was the ranking master and apprentice of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion, or the ranking nobles in the audience, or the Hanbei and Mikami, they all showed surprise on their faces at this time.

Even Ogata's face was shocked at this time, and the look of shock on Ogata's face was mixed with a little doubt.

As far as Ogata knew—he was just meeting Kuranaga for the first time today.

He really couldn't figure it out - he had only met Kuraga for the first time today, and he hadn't even said a word, why did Kuraga protect him so much?

Although the people of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion were upright, after hearing Kuranaga's "advice", which was no different from a threat, their anger gradually subsided, and then they reluctantly put their swords back into their sheaths.

Seeing that the people in the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion had put their swords back into their sheaths, the half-guards also ordered Mikami and others to put away their swords.

After ending a melee that was about to break out in a few words, Kuranaga turned his head and said to one of the subordinates beside him:

"Go and call Genan for me, and let Gen'an treat Ogata-kun."

"Yes!"

……

……

"Is it over......"

Looking at the people of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion in front of him, who had already put their swords back into their sheaths, Ogata muttered in a volume that only he could hear, and sighed with relief.

After the nerves that had been tense just now relaxed, Ogata only felt a tidal wave of exhaustion rushing towards him......

After taking out the pocket paper that he had brought with him, and wiping off the blood, fat, and other materials on the knife, Ogata slowly put the knife back into its sheath.

“…… Renjiro Toyama is dead...... The days that followed...... I think I'll be able to calm down a bit......"

"Ah...... Maybe the people of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion will take revenge on me later......"

"Forget it...... Let's talk about this kind of thing later......"

Ogata didn't notice.

When he relaxed his nerves and let out a sigh of relief, Kuranaga, who was still standing in the audience, was silently watching him with intriguing eyes......
