Volume 1: Re:Zero -Starting Life as a Samurai Chapter 41: The Attack on Liuwu
There are quite a few people who have come to their senses.
After someone asked Yuanshan a question first, those who had woken up all focused their confused and puzzled gazes on Yuanshan.
"I am solely responsible for everything that happened today!"
Yuanshan said firmly.
"...When the time is right, I will tell you what the grudge between me and Ogata is."
"When you know the grudge between me and Ogata, you will know that what I did today was still restrained."
Since Ogata is not at Sakakibara Sword Hall, there is no point in staying here any longer.
So Yuanshan led his fellow disciples and quickly left Sakakibara Sword Hall.
After stepping out of the sword hall, Yuanshan muttered in a low voice that only he could hear:
"I don't know what's going on with Itagaki... Has anyone found Ogata in Nagaya..."
The group of people in the distance are traveling separately this time.
Yuanfang led a large group to Sakakibara Sword Hall to look for someone.
Itagaki took another group of people to look for Ogata at Nagaya...
…
…
Hirose Domain, Nagaya——
"Afu, wipe that table!"
"good!"
Nagiya is an izakaya and its business is better only at night.
At the same time, there are only so many troublemakers at night.
So Ogata only needs to come to work at night.
Just now, the only table of guests in the flow house also left.
Following Asaki's instructions, Fuku came over with a rag and a tray to clean up the messy table.
Today, Fuku-chan was wearing the cherry blossom-colored kimono that Ogata and Asaki had jointly given to him a few days ago.
It can be seen that Ah Fu really likes this Wu clothing.
These days, I wear it almost every day.
Even though Asaki had reminded Fuku that if he wore it every day, the Wufu would soon become worn out and torn, Fuku still wore it every day as he pleased.
Ah Fu understood all the reasons that Ah Saki said.
But she just couldn't resist the urge to wear this Wu costume.
Ah Fu cleaned up the messy table with extremely skillful hands and feet. When she was about to carry the tray full of wine glasses and tableware into the kitchen, she suddenly heard the sound of someone coming in.
And judging from the sound, it was a large group of people coming in.
Ah Fu, who mistakenly thought that many guests had arrived, immediately looked towards the gate with a big smile on his face:
"Welcome light... um..."
Before Ah Fu could finish saying "Welcome", she suddenly stopped talking .
Because the person who entered the room was not a guest at all.
But it was a large group of aggressive warriors.
Ah Fu counted and found that there were as many as eight warriors.
Ah Fu knew the leader.
It was Itagaki .
Itagaki glanced at Fuku.
"You are dressed very beautifully today. Are they new clothes?"
Hearing Itagaki's words, Fuku subconsciously tightened his collar and asked in a serious tone:
"What are you doing here?"
Asaki, who was originally busy in the kitchen, also heard the strange noise outside the kitchen at this time, so she quickly wiped her hands and ran out of the kitchen.
After seeing Itagaki and his group, Asaki's beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned.
"Boss lady."
Seeing Asaki coming out, Itagaki immediately asked:
"We are looking for Ogata . Is Ogata Issei here with you?"
" What do you want to do with Lord Ogata?" Asaki asked back vigilantly.
"Don't worry about that!" Itagaki said impatiently, "Forget it, it would be faster if we just go in and search."
After saying that, Itagaki raised his foot and planned to search everywhere in the house with his fellow apprentices behind him.
The stream house has 2 floors in total.
The first floor is the izakaya and kitchen.
The second floor is where Asaki and Fuku live.
The small Ryūya is not only where Asaki and Fuku work, but also where they live.
As soon as Itagaki and others raised their feet, Afu immediately opened his arms and blocked them.
"Wait! I won't let you come in and out as you please! This is our home! How can I let strangers like you come in and out as you please...ah!"
Before Ah Fu could finish his words, Itagaki kicked him hard in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
At the same time, he also left extremely conspicuous footprints on Afu's cherry blossom-colored kimono.
Afu is Asaki's adopted daughter.
Seeing Afu being beaten, Asaki immediately screamed, and then rushed towards Itagaki and others regardless of the huge difference in combat power between the enemy and us.
Asaki is just a weak woman, how could she be a samurai——and a match for eight samurai at that.
Itagaki coldly watched Asaki screaming and rushing towards him.
Then he raised his right hand and slapped Asaki on the face, knocking her to the ground.
Itagaki's slap was very powerful.
He slapped half of Asaki's face red and knocked her unconscious.
"...Now that I think about it, you two...especially you, are pretty hateful."
Itagaki lowered his head and looked at Afu, who was still lying on the ground, holding his stomach and groaning in pain.
"I just touched your butt last time, why are you making such a fuss?"
"Aren't your women's butts meant for us men to touch?"
"She's just a waitress at a pub, yet she's dressed so flamboyantly."
"It's really annoying to dress so provocatively."
After saying that, Itagaki raised his leg and kicked Afu, who had already fallen to the ground, several more times.
The reason why he kicked Ah Fu so many times was simply to rub the mud on his straw sandals onto Ah Fu's cherry blossom-colored kimono.
Since he didn't intend to hurt Ah Fu, he didn't use much force.
However - although he didn't use too much force, Itagaki didn't use too little force either.
Every time Itagaki kicked Ah Fu, Ah Fu let out a low groan of pain.
Looking at the cherry blossom-colored kimono that was once very beautiful but was now covered in mud, a satisfied smile appeared on Itagaki's face.
"Itagaki-senpai..." A junior student standing behind Itagaki said to him hesitantly, "Are you...going too far? She's just a little girl..."
Whether from her appearance or her actual age, Afu is just a 13-year-old girl.
Itagaki was a samurai, but he bullied a 13-year-old girl like this... Even Itagaki's junior fellow student couldn't stand it.
However, as soon as his junior brother finished asking, Itagaki roared:
"We are samurai! We are the most respected among men! What's wrong with teaching that ungrateful waitress a lesson?"
Itagaki's junior fellow was so frightened by Itagaki's roar that he shrank his neck and didn't dare to say another word.
"Let's go! Let's go in and see if that bitch Ogata is in there!"
After teaching Ah Fu a lesson, Itagaki, feeling refreshed, proudly shouted this to his fellow apprentices behind him, and then took the lead to walk into the second floor of Ryuya.
After searching the house inside and out, Ogata was nowhere to be found.
Itagaki had no choice but to lead his fellow disciples to leave Ryuya and return to Ishikawa Sword Hall temporarily.
