I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

"I'm not telling lies."

Mamiya shrugged.

"Master Yuan, he is an unborn swordsmanship genius."

"The first school of swordsmanship master Yuanda learned was Wudouliu."

"Do you two know when Genichi-sama first held a wooden sword and started learning No Outflow?"

"I don't know." *2 Ogata and A-Machi said in unison while shaking their heads.

"It was at the age of 13."

"13 years old?" Ogata frowned slightly.

Ogata, who is a swordsman, knows that - he only started learning swords at this age, which is considered too old.

Some people, if conditions permit, have already started practicing swords when they were 8 or 9 years old.

"Then do you know what happened after Master Yuanda held the sword for the first time?"

"I don't know." *2 Ogata and A-Machi said in unison again while shaking their heads.

"The first time Master Yuan held a sword, he chopped down a senior brother in the sword hall who had practiced swords for more than ten years."

The pupils of Ogata and A-Machi shrank suddenly in shock.

"It took only one month for Genda-sama to go from having no experience with swordsmanship to obtaining the certificate of non-disclosure and exemption."

"Wait a minute! Wait a moment!" A-Machi said anxiously, "You mean—that Kinoshita Genichi only spent one effort at the age of 13 to get the pass of the no-outflow exemption?!"

"That's right." Mamiya nodded, "At the age of 16, he left the feudal clan and became a rogue wandering around the world. He began to travel around the world and practice martial arts."

"Travel across the sixty-six countries in Japan, compete with the world's masters, and at the same time eagerly learn different swordsmanship."

"At the age of 24, he integrated all the major schools of swordsmanship he had mastered, and created a brand new school of swordsmanship called Wuwo Erdao Style."

"Not long after he created the new genre of Musou Two Swords Style, Genichi-sama, who was not satisfied with staying in a corner of Japan and wanted to see a bigger world, went to Nagasaki, secretly boarded the Nanban ship, and ran away The country of the Southern Barbarians."

"I heard that Genda-sama has been to the continent to the east of Japan. Mucun, what is that continent called?" Mamiya asked Mucun.

"I remember it was called the continent of America."

"Ah, yes, that's right, I remembered, it's the continent of America."

"Gen-sama returned to Japan after traveling all over the world."

"And after Mr. Yuan returned to China, he stopped wandering around so passionately, and began to stay at home in a well-behaved manner. And he began to teach the protagonist Wuwo Erdao style, who happened to be able to practice swords at that time."

"Master Genda now lives a leisurely life of drinking, sleeping, and occasionally listening to my lord's nagging."

Following Mamiya's narration, Ogata and Atachi's eyes widened.

"Although Mr. Yuan is old now, his physical strength and strength are not as good as when he was young."

"But looking at the whole world, there is still no one who will be the opponent of Genda-sama-I can guarantee this."

...

...

After Mamiya briefly summarized Kinoshita Genichi's current life, the whole room fell into silence for a while.

After a while, Machi, who started to express his thoughts, finally broke the silence:

"……too exaggerated."

This is what Ah-machi feels.

"Hey, didn't you just make up what you just said?"

"It's not made up." Mamiya smiled helplessly, "What I'm telling is the truth, and if you two have a chance to meet Mr. Yuan in the future, you will know that there is not a single word of what I just said. lie."

"Okay, that's all for Gen-sama. Ogata-kun, do you have any questions for me? I don't have any more questions for you."

"...I don't have any questions to ask you." Ogata said softly, "I have already finished asking all the questions I wanted to ask just now."

"Now that the questions are all over.

Mamiya clapped his palms twice, "So——let's talk about our current situation now." Talk about how to achieve your desired goals on the island and how to leave the island. "

As soon as Mamiya's voice fell, Atachi immediately said:

"I have only one goal - to collect enough information about the ogres to communicate with the leader, and then try to leave the island."

As soon as A-Machi finished speaking, Oo conveniently answered:

"My goal is very simple. I'm not really interested in information about ogres or anything. My goal is only one—to find a way to leave this island."

"Makimura and I's goal is to collect all the information we can about 'immortality', and then try to leave this island."

Having said that, Mamiya paused for a moment, then looked at Machi.

"Having said that - the four of us have been chatting here for so long, but I don't even know the name of this young lady."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Ogata said softly, "I've been forgetting to introduce you. This is Acho. It's a ninja from Shiranui. Because of various coincidences, we have been acting together since we landed on the island. of."

"Oh?" Mamiya raised his eyebrows and sized up Machi several times, "You are a ninja from Shiranui... I have known you for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen a female ninja from Shiranui..."

"Me too." Mucun on the side echoed.

"I don't know—the ninja from Shiranui landed on this island, why?" Mamiya asked, "Is it possible that the leader of your Shiranui is also interested in 'immortality'?"

"The leader...he shouldn't have much interest in the so-called 'immortal' and 'ogre'." A-Ming said blankly, "He should just be bored and see that I have nothing to do, so Just randomly stuffed me with an insignificant task..."

"That's it... Forget it, let's get back to the topic first." Mamiya turned his attention back to Ogata, "Ogata-kun, how about we form a four-member alliance?"

"Form an alliance of four?" Ogata said in a half-joking tone, "What happens after forming an alliance of four? What should we do? Shall we work together as a raft on this island?"

"I learned from Matsumoto Kiyohito that the islanders of this island have fled to a village called Fenghe Village, and built a wooden wall to block ogres." Mamiya said in a deep voice, " Next, I plan to go to Fenghe Village to see if I can find interesting information there, or find a way to leave the island."

"Want to enter Fenghe Village?" Ah-cho asked, "Don't you have to try to climb over their wooden wall? If I climb over the wooden wall, I have no problem. Can you three climb over the wooden wall?"

"...Let's just ask how high the wooden walls in Fenghe Village are." Ogata said softly.
