Volume 1: Re:Zero -Starting Life as a Samurai Chapter 10 I started working as a security guard today
Ogata didn't really want to kill all four drunks.
After all, these four drunkards were just drunk and their minds were confused for a while.
So Ogata turned the katana in his hand and pointed the back of the sword towards them.
"Let me help you four sober up."
After that , Ogata walked slowly towards the four drunks, holding the knife and lantern in his hand...
…
…
The battle started suddenly.
It ended quickly, too.
From the start to the end of the fight, less than a minute passed, and Xu Fang knocked all four drunks to the ground.
Ogata was a samurai after all, and had been practicing swordsmanship since he was young.
If he couldn't even defeat four drunken peasants, then Ogata could commit seppuku to apologize.
Ogata used Sakakibara Ittoryu's Dragon Tail four times in a row and knocked all four drunks to the ground.
Because Ogata used the back of the knife, the four drunkards just felt the pain and rolled on the ground like shrimps, but they didn't actually suffer any serious injuries.
"Get out of here!"
Ogata shouted at the four drunks again.
The four drunkards were finally woken up by Ogata.
They hurriedly got up, supported each other and left.
Only after the four drunkards left did Ogata sheath his sword.
Having just defeated four people in one go, Ogata also gained a lot of experience points .
Because he was only focused on beating the four drunks, Ogata didn't pay attention to how many experience points each of them gained when he knocked down the four strong men.
All I know is that he just gained a total of 80 points of personal experience and 80 points of Sakakibara Ittoryu experience.
Currently, Ogata's personal level is: Lv8 (130/700)
Sakakibara Ittoryu Level: 4th stage (170/700)
After sheathing his sword, Ogata turned his head and looked at the woman beside him whom he had just rescued.
"Are you OK?"
The woman nodded excitedly: "I'm fine."
Then he bowed to Ogata and thanked him:
"Master Warrior, thank !"
"It's okay." Ogata smiled, "It's just some small things that I can do."
It was not until now that Ogata finally had the chance to take a serious look at the woman he had just rescued.
The woman had fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and mouth, and her skin was well maintained. She looked only 28 or 29 years old.
She was wearing a bright red kimono, white socks and wooden clogs.
She has regular facial features. Although her appearance is not stunningly beautiful, she is still quite attractive.
Ogata couldn't help but secretly thought:
——No wonder those four drunks just now flirted with her in the street...
"My name is Asaki."
The woman who called herself Asaki introduced herself.
"Sir, if it's convenient, could you tell me your name?"
"Sure." Ogata said happily, "My name is Ogata. Ogata Yisei."
"Lord Ogata!"
Asaki suddenly approached Ogata, and Ogata was so scared that he couldn't help but shrink his neck back.
Asaki's eyes seemed to be sparkling with little stars.
Asaki stared at Ogata with her eyes that were sparkling with stars.
"If possible, could you please come and guard my pub?"
"……ha?"
Ogata looked at Asaki in front of him in confusion.
"To be honest, I am the owner of the pub called 'Ryuya' not far away."
“It’s a small shop that’s been open for less than a month.”
"Since it opened, there have been drunken guests or hooligans causing trouble almost every day."
"I am deeply troubled by this."
"I've always wanted to hire a skilled person to guard the pub, so that those drunks and scoundrels won't dare to act recklessly again."
"But no matter how hard I look, I can't find the right person."
"People with great abilities don't want to be the guards of taverns."
"People who are willing to be the guards of the pub are of average ability."
"Until now I met you, Lord Ogata!"
As she spoke of this, the "little stars" in Asaki's eyes became more numerous and brighter.
"I just saw with my own eyes how you, Lord Ogata, knocked down those four drunkards with your smooth movements!"
"If there is someone as capable as you, Lord Ogata, in charge of my pub, no one will dare to cause trouble!"
"Lord Ogata, would you be willing to be the guard of my izakaya? You only need to come at night!"
Ogata listened to what Asaki said quietly.
After Asaki finished speaking, Ogata said helplessly in his heart:
——Guardian... What I mean is that you want to hire me as a security guard...
Ogata always felt that security work would be very tiring.
I have to stay in the store all the time and deal with any troubles I encounter...
However, this also has its advantages. If you become the guard of a pub, you should be able to encounter many opportunities to gain experience points.
But you might offend someone when you try to stop the riots.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ogata decided to give up.
After all, if you want to gain experience points, you can just duel with your fellow disciples in Sakakibara Sword Gym.
By dueling with fellow disciples from Sakakibara Sword Hall, you can not only gain a lot of experience points, but also avoid unnecessary trouble.
Just when Ogata decided to reject Asaki out loud——
"I will thank you very much! I will pay you a salary every day! Although it's not much, you see this money is enough..."
"Please let me guard the door of your izakaya."
Before he heard the last word, Ogata had already reached out to take the purse that Asaki handed over.
…
…
Although Ogata really wanted to find a side job to make his life more comfortable.
But Ogata would still stay away from jobs that are very tiring.
Being a "security guard" at a pub - this kind of job sounds tiring.
Ogata originally wanted to reject Asaki directly.
But the money she gave was too much.
…
…
It is better to do it today than to wait for a day, so Ogata decided to start work immediately.
Following Asaki's footsteps, turning left and right on the country dirt road, a small and exquisite izakaya gradually appeared in front of Ogata.
On the door plaque of the izakaya, two Chinese characters were written in a flamboyant style - "流屋".
Looking at the two Chinese characters on the door plaque, Ogata praised: "These characters are really well written."
"I commissioned a friend of mine who knows calligraphy to write this." Asaki smiled, "Come on, Lord Ogata, let's go in."
"This pub of mine is not very big. The only people working inside are me and another waitress."
"She's greeting guests inside now. From tonight on, everyone is partners, so let's get to know each other tonight."
As Asaki finished speaking, Oobian heard the sound of porcelain being broken coming from inside the house.
And a man's loud shout.
Upon hearing these two voices, Ogata and Asaki's expressions both changed.
"It seems..." Ogata smiled bitterly, "I have a difficult task to start on my first day at work. Miss Asaki, I will go into the house first."
After saying that, Obe held the two swords at his waist and rushed into the house quickly.
The area of the stream house is not large, with only 6 tables in total.
Among these six tables, only one had guests sitting at it.
The only guests at this table were three drunkards whose faces were red from drinking.
Next to the three drunk men stood a petite girl who looked to be only about 14 years old.
