"Thinking only about winning."

"I just want to survive."

"I just want to protect someone."

"In short, just let yourself think about only one thing."

"By thinking of only one thing in your mind, and with the help of the source of breathing, you can more easily enter the state of selflessness."

Speaking of this, Yuan Yi looked like he was reminiscing.

"When I entered the realm of selflessness for the first time, I was thinking only about winning."

"In my crazy desire for victory, I entered the state of selflessness for the first time, and finally turned defeat into victory."

Ogata silently wrote down the instructions that Genichi had just given him. Then he solemnly bowed and thanked Genichi.

After thanking Yuan, Mamiya, who was standing next to Ogata, said to Ogata:

"Ogata-kun, do you need me to take you down the mountain?"

"No need, I remember the way down the mountain."

"Then after you come down from the mountain, you go to the village at the foot of the mountain, which is the outpost of our Calabash House, and tell the villagers there, 'Come and collect the horses as ordered by Mamiya', and they will tell you what you did yesterday.

The horse you rode is returned to you."

"Huh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "Are you going to give me that horse?"

"Just treat it as a parting gift." Mamiya shrugged, "Anyway, horses are not extremely precious to our Gourd House."

"...Thank you very much." Ogata didn't show much pretense and just nodded in thanks.

After thanking him, Ogata sighed half-jokingly:

"I really owe you Huluwu a lot of favors..."

Without the help of Mamiya and Makimura, Ogata would not have been able to leave that miserable place on Butterfly Island so easily.

After leaving Butterfly Island, I have been receiving help from Calabash House in various ways.

First, I learned how to ride a horse from Mamiya and the others, and then today I received personal guidance from Genichi.

Not to mention these big help, there are also many small help. For example - from last night to now, Ogata has eaten two meals at Calabash House in vain.

Ogata felt a little embarrassed after receiving so much help from Calabash House.

Although the relationship with Kinoshita Rin is currently very tense, there is no deep hatred between her and Kinoshita Rin.

So Ogata wouldn't hold a grudge against the entire Gourd House just because of this trivial matter.

What's more, compared with the help Calabash House has provided him so far, this little holiday with Kinoshita Rin is really nothing.

"It's just about helping each other." Mamiya chuckled a few times.

Ogata lowered the bamboo hat on his head a little, and lifted up the Dai Shi Tian and Da Zi Zuo around his waist.

"Then - I will take the first step. See you again if we are destined."

"Maybe we can see each other again soon." Mamiya said in a half-joking tone, "After having breakfast today and reporting to the lord what he saw and heard on Butterfly Island, the lord decided on the next step:

Go to Kyoto to find the master and disciple, Kazuyo and Kazuo."

After hearing what Mamiya said, Ogata was not surprised - after all, he had already expected that the people from Calabash House would definitely come looking for this pair of mysterious masters and disciples.

Calabash House has been investigating "Immortal" for these years, and it is impossible to let go of this pair of masters and apprentices who may know a lot of things.

"Then you should work hard." Ogata said in a joking tone, "It is much more difficult for you to find this pair of masters and disciples than it is for me. Unlike me, you don't have the prescriptions for this pair of masters and disciples."

"You don't have to worry about this." An intriguing smile appeared on Mamiya's face, "We also have our clues."

"clue?"

"As for what kind of clues it is, let me keep it a secret."

"I don't care what your clues are, as long as they don't follow me."

"We will not use such low-level methods."

…

…

After a few final jokes with Mamiya, Ogata walked down the mountain without any hesitation.

Only when the figures of Genichi and Mamiya completely disappeared from his sight, and the Calabash House base was no longer visible, did Ogata slowly stop.

Ogata raised his head and looked towards the top of the mountain where he was currently.

The base of Calabash House is located on the mountainside, so Ogata is currently located on the mountainside.

Standing on the mountainside, looking up, you can see the mountain peaks pointing straight into the sky.

Although the mountain Ogata is currently standing on is high - it is not the highest in this area.

Ogata looked around and could see the mountain not far away - its height was far higher than the mountain at Ogata's feet.

But this mountain is still not the highest,

The mountain next to it is currently the highest mountain within Ogata's field of vision.

——In a more distant place... there must be other mountains higher than this mountain...

What Genichi said to him this morning echoed in Ogata's mind.

Although nearly an hour has passed, the words spoken by Minamoto and Ogata are still in my ears.

(Although the sky is thousands of miles wide and the sword is only three feet long, even if you spend your whole life unable to cut through the sky, you can still experience the joy of becoming stronger in this small three-foot-square area. Don’t pursue something unparalleled in the world.

Just think about hard work and enjoy the process of hard work)

After what Genichi said to him echoed in his mind again, Ogata let out a sigh of relief.

Then, a faint smile appeared on Ogata's face.

"take it easy……"
