After learning that the visitor was Omachi, Ogata raised his eyebrows and then said quickly:

"Please come in."

Wow...

The paper sliding door was slowly opened.

Amachi held several rolls of clean linen and walked slowly into Ogata's room.

There was no such thing as bandages in this era. People in this era used linen or fine cloth to bandage patients.

"Turn around." Atachi, who was holding a clean linen cloth and kneeling in front of Ogata, said to Ogata concisely and concisely.

"Ah, okay."

Ogata followed Amachi's order and turned around, taking off his kimono, revealing his upper body that was almost covered with linen.

When Omachi took off the old linen cloth from Ogata's upper body, Ogata asked:

"When Mr. Feng Mo changed my dressing this afternoon, didn't he just put it on clean linen? Why do I have to change it again now?"

"This is what Fuma-sama requested." A-Machi said softly, "He said that the linen should be changed more frequently than the medicine."

"That's it..."

The two began to fall silent...

The only sounds left in the room were the sound of Atachi unfolding the new linen cloth and wrapping the new linen cloth around Ogata's upper body.

The atmosphere between the two also became a little awkward due to each other's silence.

In order to prevent the surrounding atmosphere from being so embarrassing anymore, Ogata racked his brains to think about the topic.

"Well..." Ogata, who really couldn't think of anything good to talk about, said casually, "I heard Mr. Fuma say that he is responsible for changing dressings and linen, and you are responsible for cooking and washing clothes.

Why are you changing my linen now?"

"Because this is what Fuma-sama asked me to do." Atachi replied, "Fuma-sama said that he suddenly wanted to wash the dishes tonight, so he asked me to change your linen for him."

Hearing Atachi's answer, Ogata was slightly stunned.

——So...that's what happened...Master Feng Mo, I owe you a favor...

After realizing Fuuma's good intentions, Ogata cleared his throat, and then said to Omachi behind him:

"A-Machi... I always thought that when you saw me waking up, you would slap me in anger and then scold me for why I did such dangerous things..."

"What?" Amachi said in a half-joking tone, "Do you really want to be beaten by me? If you really want to be beaten by me, I can't satisfy your little request."

"I'm sorry, I don't have this weird habit of being beaten..."

"...I actually..." A-Machi said slowly after being silent for a while, "When I woke up after being knocked unconscious by you three nights ago, I also thought about giving you a good beating when you came back.

Fist, let me teach you a lesson for this bastard who has a brain problem, does things recklessly, and dares to attack Nijo Castle."

"But... when I saw Mr. Feng Mo coming back with you covered in blood and unconscious, all my thoughts and anger disappeared."

"I only had one thought in my mind at the time: It's great that you can come back alive."

"..." After hearing what A-Machi said, Ogata couldn't help but tighten his lips.

I want to say something, but I don’t know what is the best thing to say at this moment.

While Ogata was still thinking about his words, Amachi, who was behind Ogata, continued:

"Are you a fool? By attacking Nijo Castle that night, you offended both the shogunate and Shiranui Sato at the same time."

"Have you not thought about the consequences? Your current situation is the same as mine! You will be chased to the ends of the earth by Shiranui!"

"Then I can only follow you and fight Shiranui until the end." Ogata responded without thinking.

"Puch..." Atachi chuckled, "How dare you say that? Do you know how powerful Shiranui is and how many hidden masters there are? It's a shame that you can say that you want to fight Shiranui with me.

How dare you say this?"

"If I were alone, I might not have the confidence to fight Shiranui to the end."

As Ogata said this, he turned back to look at Atachi behind him.

"But if I'm with you, I feel like I can do anything."

"Okay." Amachi patted Ogata's uninjured right shoulder angrily, "Stop saying such flattery."

Although Atachi said so, there was no hint of displeasure in her tone.

"...Can we be reconciled like this?" Ogata asked.

"What reconciliation? Has the relationship between the two of us become difficult?"

"From the moment I woke up this afternoon to now, you have been very cold to me. I thought you were deliberately ignoring me to show your dissatisfaction with me knocking you unconscious without permission and entering Nijo Castle alone..."

"You're really right. I actually did this on purpose. I planned to deliberately neglect you and make you angry."

"Please be sure not to do this..."

"Well... let's wait and see when I feel better one day."

After saying that, Omachi winked at Ogata and showed a sly smile.

“Ahhhhhh——!”
