I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

The maid nodded vigorously, indicating that she understood.

"Don't forget what I just said."

After reminding the maid at the end, the owner of the female voice slowly let go of the maid's mouth.

After the mouth was freed, the maid was very obedient and did not scream loudly or say any more irrelevant words.

"First question—where is Konnosuke?"

"On the third floor...in his room..."

Because of fear, the maid's voice trembled so badly that she couldn't even utter a complete and fluent sentence.

"Second question—where is his room?"

"Go up...the stairs next to it...turn right to the second room...it's Konnosuke-sama's room..."

"The third question—is Konnosuke in the room now?"

"At... definitely at... this time of day... Konnosuke-sama is about to go to bed..."

"The fourth question—has Konnosuke ever practiced martial arts? For example, he has learned Jiu-Jitsu, Aikido, etc."

"No……"

"The fifth question-does Konnosuke have a guard? There will be a guard in front of his room door after he goes to bed."

"nor……"

"...I see, thank you for your answer."

Speaking of this, the owner of the female voice suddenly fell silent.

Her sudden, somewhat strange silence made the maid unable to help thinking wildly. The fear in her heart became more and more intense, and her body trembled more violently.

After a while, the master of this female voice finally spoke again:

"One last question for you—what's the matter with this room?"

"Ah... this..."

The maid glanced at the three huge lockers that were attached to the three walls.

"This is... Konnosuke-sama's storage room..."

"These 3 cabinets... are the storage cabinets Mr. Konnosuke bought 5 years ago... There are... 210 cabinet barrels..."

"Master Konnosuke put all his sundries in this locker..."

"...Why are there no characters on the outside of these cabinets to identify the items in the cabinets? There are so many cabinets, and there are no reminders on them. Don't you forget which cabinet you put something in?"

"In these cabinets...all the things...are arranged according to certain rules...so Mr. Konnosuke doesn't need to paste the characters for reminders on the outside of the cabinets...he never misses something or I forgot which bucket to put things in..."

"The law...? What law?"

"This...I don't know...Only Mr. Konnosuke knows what the rules of his things are..."

"That's it...well, thank you for your answer."

As the voice fell, the maid felt as if something had hammered her hard on the back of her neck.

The intense pain caused the maid's eyes to turn black, and then she rolled her eyes and passed out directly...

...

...

After knocking the maid unconscious with the bottom of the handle, Machi waved to the ceiling above her head.

Ogata, who had been hiding on the ceiling just now, moved one of the ceilings away, then jumped down, and just landed beside A-Machi.

While working with A-Machi to put the fainted maid in place, Ogata asked A-Machi in a helpless tone:

"You just need to ask where the maid Konnosuke is. Why bother, ask her what these lockers are for..."

"Because I'm really curious. It's the first time I've seen a locker with such an exaggerated number of barrels..."

After placing the maid in the corner of the room, A-Machi, who couldn't hold back his curiosity, walked towards the locker closest to him.

After pulling open a bucket, A-Ming let out a small exclamation:

"These buckets are so big..."

Ogata went over and took a look at the cabinet that Ah-Ming had pulled out.

As Ah-Ming said-although these cabinets are not very wide,

But they are very long and narrow.

There were only 2 cups inside the bucket that A-Machi opened casually.

There are only 2 cups in such a long and narrow cabinet—it looks rather abrupt.

"Okay, don't look at it." Ogata said angrily, and took back the bucket that Ah-Ming pulled out, "Before the maid wakes up, let's go to Jinnosuke .”

"Got it. Let's go."

Having said that, A-Machi walked back to the place where Ogata just jumped off, jumped up nimbly, followed the hole that Ogata just moved the ceiling left, and jumped onto the ceiling.

Ogata, who followed closely behind, jumped back to the top of the ceiling with A-Ming, and reinstalled the piece of ceiling he had just removed.

The room, which had been noisy before, returned to calm.

Only the maid who was beaten unconscious by Ah Ding was lying in the corner of the room, sleeping soundly.

...

...

The dim light emitted by the candlelight hit Konnosuke's body, and a long, long shadow was drawn behind Konnosuke.

This long shadow pressed like a mountain on the wall behind Konnosuke.

Konnosuke, who was about to fall asleep, had already changed his clothes, but he didn't immediately shrink into the futon and fell asleep. Instead, he sat on the futon, looking at the sky outside the window, thinking about something, with a heavy expression on his face.

At this moment, Konnosuke suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him.

Before he had time to turn his head and look behind him, two small hands stretched out from behind him on the left and right sides, and quickly controlled Konnosuke.

The person who controlled Konnosuke was naturally A-Machi.

Machi covered Konnosuke's mouth with his right hand, and grabbed his shoulder with his left hand.

Konnosuke's reaction was much calmer than that of the maid just now.

A person suddenly appeared behind him and controlled himself—although Konnosuke's pupils shrank suddenly in shock and his body shook, but he quickly regained his composure.

There was no scream, nor any struggle.

Konnosuke's calm and composed reaction made Ah-cho involuntarily let out a little exclamation.

"Good evening, Konnosuke-sama."

After Amachi controlled Konnosuke, Ogata also said hello to Konnosuke, while jumping off the ceiling, and landed firmly in front of Konnosuke.

"Sorry, I may have frightened you when I came to disturb you late at night."

"We didn't mean any harm."

After finishing speaking, Ogata took out the sword that Zong Hai gave him.

"This is what Zonghai from Tenmanji asked me to show you."

"He said that as long as he handed over this sword to you, it would prove that we are friends rather than enemies."

Ogata put the sword on the tatami in front of Konnosuke, so that Konnosuke could take a good look at the back of the sword.

Konnosuke glanced at the sword in his arms and raised his eyebrows.

Ogata clearly felt that - after seeing the sword in his arms, Konnosuke's aura of guard immediately decreased a lot.
