The person that Ogata has fixed on his gaze, the person that Ogata has always wanted to fight, is Itagaki who has been cowering on the edge of the dojo and has been afraid to fight.

Itagaki is the entire Ishikawa Sword Pavilion, and there is no one who Ogata wants to fight against the most, and at the same time, he wants to beat him the most.

After Ishikawa Terama's request to challenge all the disciples of the Ishikawa Kenkan, Itagaki's face was always covered with a strong look of pride.

In Itagaki's eyes, Ogata is dead today.

One person challenges all the disciples of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion?

Even if the challenge method is 1-on-1, you can be tired and tired to death!

In the entire Ishikawa Sword Pavilion, Itagaki is probably the person who hates Ogata the most except for Toyama, and there is no one.

He just touched Ah Fuku's ass that night - Itagaki didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, he was a dignified samurai, and the other party was just a small waitress, and he touched it.

But because of this trivial matter, Ogata defeated him in front of the public, so that he could not get off the stage.

Since that night, Itagaki has hated Ogata.

He's definitely the one who wants to see Ogata get out of the way and be beaten by their disciples of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion, except for Toyama.

When Ogata defeated Hirano, the opponent in the first round, Itagaki was still able to keep his composure, keeping the flat look on his face, and secretly said in his heart: It's okay, it's okay, that Hirano's strength in our sword hall is not very top-notch, and it is normal to be defeated.

When Ogata defeated Sato, the opponent in the second round, Itagaki was still able to maintain a quiet, calm and breezy appearance, and secretly said in his heart: It's okay, it's okay, Sato is just careless.

It's just that at this time, cold sweat has begun to appear on the door of his head.

Subsequently, Ogata defeated the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds......

Until now, after sending the opponent in the 9th round directly out of the field, Itagaki can no longer remain calm.

Itagaki's face was bloodless at this time.

Cold sweat constantly popped up from Itagaki's head, Itagaki's back, Itagaki's palms, and all parts of Itagaki's body.

Ogata was exhausted and beaten by their disciples of the Ishikawa Kenkan - the scene didn't come out as Itagaki intended.

Ogata was now starting to catch his breath, but it could be seen that he still had the strength to continue the fight.

After defeating a quarter of their Ishikawa Kenkan disciples in a row, the courage of the remaining three-quarters of the disciples has been broken by Ogata.

They've all seen firsthand what happens to those who play against Ogata.

After Ogata defeated his opponent in the ninth round, no one dared to play against Ogata again.

Almost all of them lowered their heads, looked at their noses and noses, and did not dare to look at Ogata.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly exploded:

"Itagaki! Give me a game! ”

Hearing this explosion, Itagaki's body stiffened at first.

Then he turned his stiff neck and followed the prestige.

The owner of this explosive drink is naturally the same Ogata Itsei who is now looking at him with indifferent eyes.

Ogata raised his left hand, which was not holding a sword, and hooked his finger at Itagaki.

"Get me on the field, Itagaki. Everyone up and down the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion is the only one - I must not let go! ”

Whether it's the distant mountains or the others, Ogata can consider sparing them today and not fighting them.

But only Itagaki, who bullied the defenseless Asaki and Afuku, the mother and daughter, Ogata will never let him go.

Ever since the battle with the disciples of the Ishikawa Sword Pavilion, Ochimo has been waiting for Itagaki to take the initiative.

But until now, Ogata has finished 9 rounds and cut down 9 enemies, but Itagaki is still moving.

This forced Ogata to use some rough methods to force Itagaki to play.

Itagaki who was named by Ogata on his own initiative, his face, which was already very pale, became even more bloodless.

"I—I'm going to let you go today! I see you're exhausted! If I play at this time, I will take advantage of you too much! We'll fight again at another ......"

"Don't wait for another day." Ogata interrupted Itagaki impatiently, "I'm going to challenge you now!" ”

"Tsk......" The anxious look on Itagaki's face became a little more intense.

Itagaki looked around, hoping that the brothers around him could help him at this time.

For example: stand up and yell, "I'm here to challenge you!" Then he will naturally be able to help Itagaki block Ogata's invitation.

But the more Itagaki looked at the brothers around him, the more disappointed he became.

His gaze was like some plague.

The senior brothers who were swept away by his gaze all quickly turned their heads away, pretending not to notice that Itagaki was looking at him.

No one was willing to help Itagaki get ahead......

No, to be precise, no one would dare to challenge Ogata again......

Some even secretly rejoiced that Ogata did not name him, but Itagaki by name.

Ishikawa noticed Itagaki's embarrassment.

After sighing lightly, the soldiers and horses spoke out to help Itagaki relieve the siege and said:

"Ogata-kun, Itagaki is a little unwell today, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight."

"Discomfort? Hmph, a person who can bully a pair of defenseless mothers and daughters with vigor and soil, and stain other people's precious clothes, doesn't look like a 'physically unwell' person. ”

Ogata hooked his finger at Itagaki again.

"Itagaki, if you're still a samurai, hurry up and give me a fight!"

"You!" Even Ishikawa Terama was a little angry at this time, "Ogata-kun! As a young man, don't be so arrogant! You are so arrogant, sooner or later you will suffer in the future! ”

"Maybe." Ogata said calmly, "But in the future, I'll just leave it to me to figure out how to solve it." ”

With that, Ogata turned his gaze back to Itagaki with an uncertain expression and a wordless expression.

"Itagaki, why are you still there's 'immovable as a mountain'? Is it because you've been sitting there for too long, and your feet are numb and you can't stand up? Or is it because I named me and was scared that my legs were weak and I didn't have the strength to stand up? ”

Ogata ...... No, it should be said that the eyes and attention of everyone in the museum are currently focused on Itagaki.

Bearing everyone's gaze, Itagaki slowly stood up with a dark face.

After receiving so many ridicules from Ogata, if he didn't play, he would have become a joke in the future.

Itagaki, who had been forced to the point where it was difficult to ride a tiger, could only stand up with a dark face, take the knife from the knife holder on the side, and slowly walk to the center of the dojo.

Even a layman who doesn't know how to do swordsmanship can tell that Itagaki is nervous right now.

All the muscles in Itagaki seemed to be stiff and tense.

Ogata, on the other hand, has a relaxed attitude.

With a blank face and a calm face, he took the sword and set up a mid-section stance.
