Oh."

The wind demon's confident appearance successfully frightened the two young men.

The two of them thought, "If this old man is really the boss's friend, there is no need to delay." One of them stayed at the gate while the other took the fan handed by Feng Mo and hurried to find their boss.

After a while, the young man who went to see their boss came back.

"Please come with me." The returning young man handed Feng Mo back the fan that Feng Mo had just handed him, and then saluted Feng Mo respectfully, using the highest level of honorific, "Our boss is waiting for you upstairs.

.”

The Seven Thatched Cottage has a total of 3 floors.

This young man took Ogata and the others directly to a certain room on the top floor.

"Sir!" the young man shouted into the room, "I have brought guests here!"

"Well." As soon as the young man finished speaking, an old but still energetic voice sounded in the room, "Bring them in."

"yes!"

The young man opened the door.

As the door opened, the scene in the room came into Ogata's eyes.

Behind the door is a rather simple-looking room.

The only furniture is a bookcase, a cabinet and a bookcase full of books.

An old man in his 70s, who seemed to be about the same age as Feng Mo, was sitting behind the only desk in the room, flipping through a book on the desk.

This old man... the first impression he gave Ogata was that of a "personable old gentleman".

He didn't have the extremely ugly Tsukiyo hair, nor was he bald like Fuma. He had extremely thick silver hair that was combed back into a slicked back that would not be out of date even in modern times.

Although her cheeks are densely covered with wrinkles due to age and there are age spots on her forehead and other places, her skin is quite shiny and rosy.

There were rather rare thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the slender eyes behind the lenses shone with the unique light of someone who has read poetry and books.

After Ogata and others entered, the old man waved his hand to the young man who led them in, indicating that he should leave first.

After the young man retreated and closed the door of the room, Feng Mo sat down opposite the old man and smiled at the old man:

"Long time no see, Udaemon. You still have so much hair..."

For some reason, Feng Mo, who was greeting the old man with a smile at the beginning, suddenly changed his expression from a smile to a serious look after finishing the second half of what he just said.

"Well, it's been a long time indeed."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the old man whom Fuuma called "Usamon Tianemon" raised his hand and vigorously smoothed back the thick silver hair on his head while speaking.

"I wonder what I should call you better now?"

"Just call me 'Feng'."

"Is it Feng... then - Mr. Feng, who are these three people behind you?"

"is my friend."

"Oh? I didn't expect that you could make such young friends at your age."

After saying that, Rokudaemon stood up and bowed to Ogata and the others in a very graceful manner.

"This is the first time we meet, I'm Sodaemon."

The bow of Sodaemon was so graceful that Ogata and the three of them couldn't help but wonder if this person was a child of an aristocrat who had received a strict education since childhood.

"It's our first time meeting you." Ogata returned the greeting, "My name is Majima Goro."

"I am Majimacho."

"I'm Azhu."

"Utaemon." Fuma suddenly said at this time, "I'll get right to the point - I need help from you, the 'Osaka know-it-all,' if I have something to do."

Feng Mo is very direct and goes straight to the point.

"Say it."

As for Fuuma's directness, Udaemon, who sat back on the tatami, smiled slightly, as if he was not surprised.

"But before I listen to your request, let me correct your mistake just now - the title 'Osaka Know-It-All' really offends me."

Left and right Tian Weimen smiled bitterly.

"If I really had the ability to know everything about Osaka, I wouldn't need to open another tourist house."

"So I don't guarantee that I can respond to all your requests."

"It's okay." Feng Mo said, "Just do your best."

…

…

Fuuma informed Udaemon about the fact that they were looking for the swordsman Yuji.

After Feng Mo finished speaking, Zuo Tianweimen nodded:

"I see...are you looking for Yu Er..."

"How?" Feng Mo asked, "Do you know where Yu Er is?"

"...You are very lucky." Udaemon smiled slightly, "I happen to know where Yuji lives. I know a friend who happens to be good friends with Yuji. Under the introduction of my friend,

Yu Er and I are old acquaintances."

"That's great." Feng Mo patted his thigh, "Then tell us where Yuji lives in Osaka."

"...Feng-kun." Udaemon, who was suddenly and strangely silent for a while, tapped his fingers on the desk in front of him in a very rhythmic manner, "If you want me to tell you Yuji's residence... that's fine.

, but you...no, you have to do me a favor."

"Hey." Feng Mo frowned suddenly, "Does this kind of small favor need to be exchanged for equal value?"

"In normal times, I would have done this kind of small favor for you without saying a word." Udaemon said with a wry smile, "But now I happen to run into a little trouble. I need your help."

"Don't worry, I need your help, it won't be a problem."

At this time, Udaemon suddenly turned his attention to Ogata and Omachi.

"Your two names are Majima Goro and Majimacho, right? I wonder what their relationship is?"

"Husband and wife." Ogata answered honestly.

"Are you a couple..." Udaemon nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face, "...Mashima-kun, can you allow me to ask you a question - I wonder what your skills are like?"

Udaemon came to ask about his skills out of nowhere - this made Ogata raise his eyebrows.

Although I don’t know why Udaemon asked this suddenly, it is not a question that cannot be answered directly, so Ogata pondered for a moment, thought about the appropriate wording, and then said in a gentle tone:

"I can't say how powerful I am in unarmed combat, riding and other skills, but when it comes to using a sword, I have countless times more experience than ordinary people."

"Okay." This time, it was Daiemon who patted his thigh, "Well - Mr. Majima, Miss Majima, I would like to ask you two to do me a small favor."

"It's easy to help."

"Tonight, a group of distinguished guests spent a lot of money to invite Chu Guang, our ace performer from Qicao House, to perform."

"I hope Miss Majima can come to serve as Hatsuko's assistant tonight." Udodaemon fixed his gaze on Amachi, "The job content is very simple. Before Hatsuko enters the scene, help Hatsumi hold her shamisen.

After entering the venue, hand her the shamisen, and then you just need to sit next to Hatsumi and wait for Hatsumi's performance to end."

"Mr. Majima is here to serve as Hatsuko's bodyguard." Udaemon turned his attention to Ogata, "Hisashi's task is even simpler. He only needs to coordinate with Hatsuko's other guard to guard Hatsuko's body.

Just be by your side to prevent anyone from coming forward and hurting Chu Guang."

"As long as you are willing to do me this favor, I will tell you Yu Er's address immediately afterwards."
