After a fierce ideological struggle, Ogata decided to turn a blind eye to Genichi's outing.

Ah, no. Using the phrase "turn a blind eye" to describe it is slightly inaccurate.

Ogata no longer "turned a blind eye", but directly became Genichi's accomplice.

Ogata understood that a large part of the reason for Genichi's invitation to him was to lure Ogata into the water, so that Ogata and he would become grasshoppers on the same rope, and thus achieve the goal of sealing things off naturally.

Although he already knew that a large part of Genichi's reason for inviting him was to drag him into the trap, Ogata still decided to jump into this pit.

It can be considered to be due to several reasons.

On the one hand, I think Genichi's idea of ​​killing potential enemies is very reasonable and worth trying. It can also earn a wave of experience points by the way.

On the other hand, he was very interested in Genichi's swordsmanship instruction, and wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful Genichi, known as the "Sword Master", possessed.

Although he had known Genichi for a long time, Ogata had never seen Genichi personally take action against an enemy.

If you say that you are not interested in Yuan Yi's actual combat capabilities and are not interested in Yuan Yi's guidance, it is definitely a lie.

Because of these various reasons, Ogata decided to hunt "rats" with Genichi and make some noise together.

The two of them were lucky enough to find a shop selling masks that was still open late at night.

Ogata didn't care what mask he wore to hide his identity, so he just randomly bought a white fox mask.

After purchasing masks to hide their identities, "Tengu" and "White Fox" carefully avoided passers-by who happened to appear on the street while approaching Yoshiwara...

…

…

When Ogata and Genichi just slipped out through the window,

In the hotel where Edo, Ogata and the others are staying

Mamiya, who was facing the ceiling with his face straight and his eyes closed, was breathing long and regularly. After Ogata and Genichi jumped out of the room, he opened his eyes suddenly and sat up from the bed.

Come.

When Ogata and Genichi jumped out of the window to leave, they did not forget to close the window again.

Mamiya sat up from the bed, showing a strange expression, and whispered in a confused and helpless tone:

"What are the two of them doing..."

…

…

Ogata and Genichi did not enter Yoshihara, but lurked outside Yoshihara's gate.

Ogata and Genichi were hiding in a dense bush outside the Yoshihara gate, monitoring the only entrance and exit of Yoshihara.

Although it was late now, there were still many men and women going in and out of the sleeve gates on both sides of the gate.

Looking at the Yoshihara gate not far away, which had just left and then returned not long ago, Ogata had a complicated expression on his face.

"Genichi-san." Ogata said softly, "Although there are indeed many 'rats' in and out of Yoshiwara in search of you and your information, but it is already so late now, can we really encounter 'rats'?

"

"And do you remember who were the 'rats'?"

The number of "rats" is definitely a drop in the bucket compared to the number of tourists entering and leaving Yoshiwara every day.

It is definitely a small probability event to squat outside the gate of Yoshiwara and catch a "rat" that happens to enter or leave Yoshiwara.

"Although I have forgotten the faces of some enemies, I still remember the faces of some enemies."

After saying that, Yuan Yi suddenly stretched his right hand forward.

"Aha, caught it."

As Genichi spoke, he spread his right hand.

A bee that had been crushed to death by Yuan Yi lay quietly on Yuan Yi's right palm.

"I just feel a little greedy."

After saying that, Yuan Yi dropped the bee in his palm into his mouth and started chewing it.

Looking at Genichi's shocking operation, Ogata's eyes widened.

"Master Yuan Yi, bees should not be eaten raw, right? Their stings cannot be touched."

As far as Ogata knows, bee stings seem to be poisonous and will cause excruciating pain if stung.

And Yuan Yi actually stuffed the bee into his mouth...

"It's bad luck. The bee didn't get any honey. It's not sweet."

While spitting out the stinger of the bee, Genichi continued to speak in a vague tone:

"Indeed, bees' stings cannot be touched randomly."

"The first time I ate bees, I was tortured to death."

"But then my body seemed to adapt to the toxins from bees, and I no longer feel any discomfort no matter how much I eat bees."

Speaking of this, a faint look of reminiscence appeared on Yuan Yi's face.

"That guy from Feng Mo taught me this trick of using bees as food."

"We once had no money to eat due to some accidents, and then Feng Mo taught me what I could eat raw without dying."

"It was really a tearful time..."

Looking at Genichi with a look of reminiscence on his face, Ogata asked:

"Genichi-sama, you and Fuma-sama seem to have a very good relationship."

"He even paid the price of becoming a mortal enemy of Shiranui, mediating the fight between Shiranui and Fuma no Sato, and saving Fuma-sama's life."

The "Battle of Nijo Castle" ended, and when Ogata was recuperating at Fuuma's home, he heard from Fuuma that Fuuma attacked Shiranui's base alone, and that Genichi single-handedly mediated the war between the two great ninjas.

2 magnificent stories.

"Feng Mo and I are old friends."

The look of reminiscence on Yuan Yi's face became more intense.

"Ogata-kun, you may not know that when Fuma took the name of the new Fuma, his original name was Kanmitsu."

"We've known each other since his name was just Tangerine."

"As for what you just said, 'not willing to pay the price of becoming a mortal enemy of Shiranui'..."

Speaking of this, a somewhat meaningful look flashed in Yuan Yi's eyes.

"Having a grudge against Shiranui is nothing at all."

"I have offended many forces much more powerful than Shiranui in my life."

"Forget it, let's not talk about these old things, let's talk about something interesting. Ogata-kun, look over there."

Genichi pursed his lips towards the Yoshihara gate not far away.

Ogata, thinking that a "rat" had finally appeared, hurriedly looked towards Yoshiwara's gate.

As a result, I only saw a woman who was about 30 years old and exuded mature charm. She was holding a big bag and left Yoshiwara quickly along the sleeve door on the right side of the Yoshiwara gate.

"According to my guess, this woman's background should be very good."

Yuan Yi was talking eloquently.

"Although she is wearing ordinary clothes, her feet are very white and clean. Only women from well-off families can have feet like this."

"...You asked me to look at that woman just to say this?" Several black lines appeared on Ogata's face.

"This is a little game I used to love to play to pass the time." Yuan Yiyi said, "Based on a person's appearance and clothing, you can guess what his family background is and what he does for a living."

After saying that, Yuan Yi took a deep breath.

"It's definitely more fun to play outside than to sit around and drink alone in your room."

Ogata (staring...): "Master Minamoto... let me confirm, the reason why you decided to annihilate the 'rats' one by one is to reduce our potential enemies, not to disturb them when you go out to play.

Guys take out...right?"

"Of course I want to kill all our potential enemies!" Yuan Yi said without thinking with a righteous look.

Despite what Genichi said, Ogata still stared at Genichi with a strange look mixed with a bit of suspicion...

While Ogata and Genichi were talking, another group of people walked out of Yoshiwara.

Seeing someone else coming out of Yoshihara, Ogata stopped looking at Genichi with suspicious eyes and followed Genichi to look towards Yoshihara's sleeve door.

After casting his eyes on this new group of people coming out of Yoshiwara, Genichi raised his eyebrows.

"Ogata-kun, it seems that our stay in this place so far has not been wasted."
