So, Ogata and Shotaro come into contact with each other, and it's a new coincidence born out of a series of coincidences.

Ogata appeared here at this time.

Shotaro also appeared on the ceiling of this place at this time.

Seeing Aotaro rushing towards him with a knife, Ogata also held the knife in his hand and prepared to meet the enemy.

It's the same as Ogata guessed - Aotaro who was born in Shiranui is the kind of person who is good at speed and agility.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Shotaro rushed to Ogata and slashed at Ogata with his sword.

It's just that although Aotaro's speed is fast, it's not so fast that Ogata can't keep up.

Ogata didn't dodge or dodge, and swung his sword towards the wakicha that Shotaro slashed at.

However, just as the two of their knives were about to collide in mid-air, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Aotaro's face.

Then, at the moment when the knives of the two were about to collide together, Aotaro suddenly stopped the knife in his hand and took the knife back in his hand.

After doing this feint, like a slippery fish, he pounced on Ogata's arms at a much faster speed than before.

While rushing towards Ogata's arms, he opened his arms and looked like he was going to give Ogata a big hug.

Looking at Aotaro, who was rushing towards him with his arms outstretched, Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.

This posture has been seen by Ogata.

When Amachi showed Ogata Shiranui Ninjutsu, Ogata had seen this move - it was a move in Shiranui Jiu-Jitsu that was specifically used to throw people to the ground.

At that time, after eating Amachi's trick, Ogata's back hurt for a long time - this is still Amachi's special mercy.

When it comes to jiu-jitsu skills, Ogata doesn't know who is better or lower between Seotaro and Amachi.

But Ogata is sure that Shotaro's physical fitness is definitely above Amachi.

After all, Shotaro's body is obviously stronger than Amachi's.

Ogata, who didn't dare to eat Shotaro's throw, jumped to the right with a cushion step, and escaped from Shotaro's attack range in time before Shotaro's hand touched him.

A look of displeasure appeared on Shotaro's face, "Did you get out of the way...... Hide beautifully, if you had just fallen for this trick of mine, your waist or neck would have been broken by me. ”

"Shiranui Jujutsu ......" jumped to Ogata outside of Shotaro's attack range and looked at Shotaro in front of him with a solemn expression.

"Oh?" Seitaro raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You can actually recognize this as a jujitsu that doesn't know the flow of fire?" Yes, do you have a ninja friend who didn't know what to do? ”

"Sort of."

Aotaro held the wakicha in his hand and danced a sword flower: "Although I was only a middle ninja until I escaped from Shiranui, but in terms of melee ability, I am not inferior to some of Rina's upper ninjas." ”

"Because—I've created a set of martial arts that combines the assassination technique of Shiranui with the Jiu-Jitsu of Shiranui."

"If you don't know our Jiu-Jitsu, which doesn't know the flow of fire, this unique martial arts of mine is not so easy to crack!"

With that, Shotaro swung his sword again and lunged at Ogata.

"Tsk......" looked at Aotaro who was rushing towards him again, Ogata's mouth twitched, "You guy is far more difficult to deal with than Sotaro......"

In a simple round of combat just now, it was easy to see that there was a considerable gap between Shotaro and Sotaro in terms of close combat.

After muttering like this, Ogata's gaze couldn't help but cast on the ceiling above him.

Uncontrollably, my mind drifted to the third floor, where the sound of something being chopped and chopped was constantly sounding.

Rather than sharing the victory or defeat with Aotaro in front of him, Ogata now wants to hurry to the third floor to support Amachi, who doesn't know how the battle is going now.

With the mentality of "quick victory", Ogata pulled out the wakicha around his waist with his left hand, and held his double knives to meet Aotaro who was rushing towards him in front of him.

It was the first time that Ogata had encountered this kind of fighting technique that combined swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat.

The lack of experience in dealing with such an enemy made Ogata afraid to use too aggressive tactics.

And Aotaro also seemed to see that Ogata was in a hurry now, so he deliberately struggled with Ogata and delayed time with the idea of "disgusting Ogata, making Ogata even more anxious, so as to delay Ogata to make a flaw".

Using words, actions, and other means to disturb the enemy's mentality, make the enemy more and more agitated, unable to maintain a normal mind, and thus interfere with the enemy's combat effectiveness - this kind of "psychological tactics" can be regarded as a common means of fighting the enemy in battle.

After clearly realizing that Aotaro was deliberately delaying his time, Ogata snorted coldly, and with a wave of his sword, he forced Shotaro to step back, and then took a few steps back himself, widening the distance between himself and Shotaro.

"You've been looking upstairs." Eitaro glanced at the ceiling above him, "It seems—you're quite concerned about the upstairs." ”

In a tone of faint mockery, Aotaro continued.

"I advise you not to be too agitated."

"If you're too anxious, it's easy to get flawed."

Ogata paid no attention to Shotaro, who was taunting him.

The reason why he wanted to distance himself from Shotaro just now was because he needed to prepare for his next slash against Shotaro.

"Hey!"

Ogata shouted at Shotaro in front of him as he slowly withdrew the wakicha of his left hand into the scabbard.

"You just said - if you don't know how to know the fire flow jiu-jitsu, this unique martial arts of yours is not so easy to crack, right?"

"Huh?" Shotaro, who didn't understand why Ogata suddenly asked this, raised his eyebrows with a puzzled expression, "That's right. I said that. Only those who also know how to know the fire flow jiu-jitsu know what the weaknesses of each move are and what the methods are to crack them. Why do you ask this? ”

"Nothing, just a casual question."

With that, Ogata pulled out his personal system interface.

These 2 skill points are all new skill points brought to Ogata after the personal level is upgraded.

When he killed Sotaro and his party not long ago, his personal level was upgraded from level 22 to level 23 and he gained 1 skill point.

I haven't figured out where to add this skill point yet, so I've kept it for the time being.

After the melee with the generals of the Shogunate Army on the first floor just now, he raised his personal level by one level, from level 23 to level 24, and added 1 skill point.

When dealing with Sotaro and his party and the shogunate army, because Ogata has both the Sakakihara One Sword Flow and the Selfless Two Sword Flow, the two sets of swordsmanship are mixed, so it is equivalent to splitting the experience points into two parts and dividing them into two, so that neither of them has been upgraded, but they are only a little bit away from being upgraded.
