"Ogata-kun...... Fortunately...... You weren't here...... Really...... Lucky in misfortune...... We can still stay in Sakakihara...... A descendant...... This genre will not ...... Break it off ......"

"Quiet!" Xuan An scolded at Sanshang, "Don't waste your energy by talking anymore!" ”

Although he was scolding Mikami, Xuan An's hand that was bandaging Mikami's wound did not stop.

"Doctor...... Thank you for your kindness and treatment...... But ah...... I guess I'm hopeless, right......? ”

Mikami's words made the doctors led by Xuan An speechless...... I don't know how to respond to Mikami's words.

"How is my body...... I know it myself...... My blood is running dry...... Even if Hua Tuo of Tang Tu is reincarnated, it is impossible to save me......"

"While I can still speak...... Let me say a little more......"

After all, the causes and consequences of the reason why the Sanshang Sword Pavilion became the current tragic situation were told to Ogata, Kuranaga and others in a concise sentence.

After learning that the initiator of tonight's tragedy at the Sakakibara Sword Museum was actually Matsudaira Gennai, the expressions of Kuranaga and the flying ape changed.

……

……

"How?" Although he already knew what the answer was, Kuranaga still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked Xuan An, "He...... Is there a salvation? ”

Xuan An and the others did not answer.

He just shook his head silently.

"Ogata-kun...... Are you there......? I can't see clearly......"

"I'm here."

Xuan An and the others playfully lifted their respective medicine boxes and left Mikami's side, making way for the space in front of Mikami's body.

Ogata also walked slowly to Mikami, and then crouched in front of Mikami.

Ogata ...... I'm sorry for the master and brothers...... Wait for the Yellow Spring...... I should talk to the master...... And what do the brothers and sisters say......? ”

"Sankami-senpai...... What stupid thing are you talking about? How can you be sorry for the master and brothers? ”

“…… After learning ...... That faint gentleman was going to use us as toys...... Let's kill each other...... I'm angry......"

"What if...... Really press ...... The faint king said that they killed each other...... At least more than half of the brothers and sisters...... You're going to leave me......"

"I'd rather die standing up...... I don't want to kneel and give birth to ......."

"So...... A warm blood swells up in the throat...... I swung my sword at the faint king......"

"Until...... I heard the master and the brothers and sisters...... The sound of falling one after another...... I'm just ...... Regret it......"

"It's all because of ...... I'm going to assassinate that faint king...... It's ...... kill everyone."

"As long as we all press obediently...... The order of the faint king killed each other...... We maybe...... Half of them will survive......"

"Attempting to assassinate the Unconscious King...... but was beheaded by the guards of the faint king......"

"Not only did I fail to assassinate the faint king...... It also harms everyone to be implicated......"

"Finally...... Died in such a dejected posture ......"

"I feel guilty from the bottom of my heart......"

"Wait for the Yellow Spring...... I don't know what kind of expression to use in front of everyone......"

……

……

“…… Mikami seniors. Ogata lifted his finger and wiped away the tears that rolled out of Mikami's eyes, "Don't apologize...... Don't feel guilty either. ”

"You didn't do anything wrong."

"It should be apologized, and it should be felt guilty that it is the faint gentleman."

"Wait for Huangquan, you just need to face everyone with an ordinary expression."

"I believe that the master and Makino will not blame you."

"Maybe they'll pat you on the shoulder and say to you - Mikami, you did a good job and didn't let our Sakakihara Sword Pavilion lose its backbone and blood."

……

……

"Ogata-kun...... Thank you ......."

"No thanks...... What do I have to do with you, thank you or something, you don't need it. ”

……

……

"Ogata-kun...... Are you there? I've ...... I can't see anything......"

"I'm here, I've always been by your side. Can you feel my hand? ”

"Yes...... Ogata-kun, I'm sorry...... My hands are covered in blood now...... Get your hands dirty......"

"It's just a small thing, I don't care."

……

……

"Ogata-kun......"

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

"I feel...... It's getting cold...... Can you bring me something to cover it...... In the last moments...... I want to be as warm as possible...... Sleep ......"

"I see...... How is it? Do you feel a little warmer? ”

"Ogata-kun...... Are you holding me......

"Hmm."

“…… Thank you ......."

"It's all about our relationship, so don't thank you."

……

……

“……”

"Mikami-senpai? Is there anything else you'd like to say? ”

“……”

"Mikami-senpai, are you asleep?"

“……”

"Sankami-senpai...... If you want to continue to thank me, go ahead...... Tell me a little bit about anything......"

“……”

"Mikami seniors ......"

“……”

……

……

Before and after Ogata crouched in front of Mikami, Kuranaga was very aware of the situation and asked Xuan An and the others to leave here, and told Xuan An and the others: Don't spread the news about tonight.

In the dojo full of dead bodies, only Kuranaga, Flying Ape, Ogata, and ...... In Ogata's arms, Mikami, who had just lost his life......

Even though Mikami is no longer alive, Ogata is still holding Mikami.

Because Ogata was now facing away from them, neither Kuranaga nor the flying ape could see what kind of expression Ogata was on now.

"In other words......" Kuranaga whispered to the flying ape in a volume that only he and the flying ape could hear, "Sakakihara Kenkan...... Has it been destroyed...... Only Ogatata-kun is left alive......"

"Yes......" Flying Ape nodded with a calm face, "My lord, tonight, in order to celebrate Ogata-kun's recovery and Ogata-kun's acquisition of the title of Waiver, all the masters and apprentices of the Sakakibara Sword Pavilion gathered here to prepare for a banquet......"

"So...... It was all caught in the net...... None of them survived except Ogata-kun......"

Kuranaga has a lot to say.

But these words that almost wanted to be spit out were stuck in Kuranaga's throat and couldn't be spit out.

In the end, it only turned into a long sigh.

While letting out a long sigh, Kuranaga looked at Ogata who was still holding the deceased Mikami with complicated eyes......

……

……

A few hours later—

Hirose Domain, Genshin Temple.

"Master Kongqing, I'm really grateful to you."

"My lord, where is it, helping the deceased to be excessive, this is what a monk like us should do."

Kuranaga bowed respectfully to an old monk in a monk's robe in front of him.

Kuranaga used his connections to mobilize a large number of people to move the deceased masters and apprentices of the Sakakibara Sword Museum to Genshinji, the most famous Buddhist temple in their Hirose Domain.

At the same time that the masters and apprentices of the Sakakibara Sword Hall were buried in the Genshin Temple, Kuranaga also invited the abbot of the Genshin Temple, Master Kuqing, to chant for the masters and apprentices of the Sakakihara Sword Hall.

At that time, there were still some corpses of the guards in the dojo.

In order to take care of Ogata's emotions, although Kuranaga also buried the bodies of these people in Genshin Temple, he did not let Master Kuqing come to chant sutras for them.

After several hours of busy work, from night to night, until the sky was bright, Kuranaga successfully completed the burial of all the victims of the tragedy last night.

After saying goodbye to Master Kongqing, Kuraga walked down the stone brick ladder and slowly left the Xuanzhen Temple.

Halfway up the stone brick staircase, Kuranaga saw Ogata sitting on a staircase not far in front of him with a knife in his hand.
