Volume 3 Buddha's Enemy Chapter 151 "Why do you know my lord's swordsmanship?"
Only after the last escaping gangster disappeared from his sight did Ogata gradually relax.
Then he opened his system to check how much experience points he had just gained.
[Level: Lv22: 300/2700]
[Sakakibara Itto-ryu: 8th Dan: 1970/3000]
[Nugu Two Swords Style: 7th stage: 1970/5000]
[Remaining skill points: 1 point]
Having just killed 12 "Yakuza" in a row, Ogata's personal level, Sakakibara's One Sword Style, and Muga's Two Sword Style all gained a certain amount of experience points.
Ogata's personal level was directly upgraded from level 21 to level 22, with 1 additional skill point.
As for where to use these skill points, Ogata already had a plan.
Without any hesitation, Ogata added this skill point to "Agility".
Among Ogata's five personal attributes at this stage, "Agility" and "Reflexes" have the lowest values, only 8 points each.
Ogata doesn't want to become a person who is too "biased".
After adding this skill point to "Agility", the system prompt sounded immediately in Ogata's mind:
[Ding! Agility +1]
[Current Agility Value: 9 points]
[Currently remaining skill points: 0 points]
…
…
"The morale of the Yakuza has collapsed."
As Mamiya spoke, he put the katana, which had been cleaned of blood and fat, back into the scabbard.
At this time, Ogata slowly put his two swords back into the scabbard and said:
"Yeah, thank goodness their morale has collapsed, so we can save ourselves some trouble."
"Now that the battle is over..."
As Mamiya spoke, he slowly fixed his sharp gaze on Ogata.
"Ogata -kun, let's talk about something... more serious."
"Hmm?" Ogata cast a puzzled look at Mamiya. "What's the problem?"
"Ogata-kun..." Mamiya's gaze fixed on Ogata became sharper, "Why... do you know my lord's swordsmanship?"
"……ha?"
Ogata was silent for a long time before he recovered from the question that Mamiya had just asked.
"Let me ask more clearly." Mamiya continued in a deep voice, "Why do you have the same swordsmanship as my lord - 'Muga Nito-ryu'? Where did you learn 'Muga Nito-ryu' from?"
Even after hearing Mamiya's question again, Ogata still felt his head was in a fuzzy mess.
The question that Mamiya just raised was like a meteorite, hitting Ogata's head hard.
Until now, Ogata felt his mind was in a state of excitement.
Just when Ogata was about to respond to Mamiya——
Bang! Clang!
A strange noise was heard from the top floor of the mansion.
"...Ogata-kun. Let's talk about this later."
"Now let's get rid of the Negishi family once and for all."
"We will act separately."
"My target should be on the top floor, so I'll go to the top floor first."
"Just go to the first floor and slowly look for the person who stole your purse."
After saying that, Mamiya held the knife at his waist and rushed up the wooden stairs not far away.
Looking at Mamiya's departing back, Ogata said "tsk" softly.
"I have so many questions to ask Mamiya..."
After muttering this, Oobian took a step forward, ignoring the "Yakuza" around him who did not run away but knelt down trembling and asked for surrender, and began searching from the first floor, looking for the Horse-Faced man who stole his purse.
…
…
Mamiya climbed up the stairs to the third floor of the mansion.
Then, he paused in front of a gorgeously decorated paper sliding door on the third floor.
Mamiya did not rashly push the paper door open.
Instead, lean your back against the wall on the left side of the paper sliding door.
He pulled out the katana with his right hand, inserted the blade into the gap between the paper sliding door and the door frame, and then used the knife as a lever to push the paper sliding door open halfway.
As soon as the paper sliding door was pushed half open, a shrill scream was heard from the room behind it.
Then——
Bang!
The sound of cannonballs firing rang out.
A scorching bullet shot towards the half-open paper sliding door.
But there was no chance that the bullet would hit anyone.
Because Mamiya was hiding beside the door frame of the paper sliding door and pushing the door with the knife in his hand, instead of standing directly in front of the paper sliding door to push it.
Seeing that he had only hit the air, the owner of the cannon in the room let out a strange cry, and then there was the sound of the cannon being thrown to the ground.
Mamiya also took the opportunity to slip out from the door frame of the paper sliding door and rushed into the room.
However, just as Mamiya rushed into the room, a loud shout rang out in front of him:
"Don't move!"
Mamiya saw a middle-aged man with a big belly sitting on the tatami in front of him with a look of fear on his face.
In his hand he held a cannon ready to fire.
There was an iron cannon lying next to his right foot, and the cannon was still emitting smoke.
There were several cannons lying beside his left feet, and the fuses of these cannons had been lit and were all ready to fire.
"I see..." Mamiya said softly, "Those strange noises I heard on the first floor just now were the sounds of you rummaging through boxes and taking out these cannons, right? I didn't expect you to be so capable. As a Yakuza, you can actually get so many cannons."
"You bastard!" The middle-aged man with a big belly roared at Mamiya, "Who the hell is that?!"
Mamiya ignored the middle-aged man's question and looked at him straight.
"You, this guy, should be the head of the Negishi family - Negishi Naomasa, right?"
Although Mamiya's sentence is phrased as a question, the tone is that of an affirmative sentence.
"So what?! Who are you?! I should have no grudge against you! I don't even know you!"
"It's normal that you don't know me. But you should know my lord."
"Your... lord...?"
"I'm from the Gourd House. I think you can understand what I mean. I'm the small merchant who you bought a batch of rice from not long ago but didn't pay for it."
"What...?" Negishi Naomasa's eyes widened. "You are... from that 'Gourd House'? No, impossible! That 'Gourd House' should be just a small business with no one to rely on! Why would there be a thug like you who is so skilled!"
"You thought you were picking on an easy target, but ended up picking on a hedgehog. This is the mistake you Yakuza often make. My lord hates dishonest people like you the most."
"Plus, my lord has been relatively idle these days, so he personally led me and another companion to the Tatsuno Domain to settle accounts with you."
"Wait, wait!" Negishi Naomasa said anxiously, "I, I, I understand! I apologize to you! I apologize to your 'Gourd House'!"
"I'm sorry! It's my fault! I shouldn't have swallowed your goods without paying!"
"Not only will I pay you back the money I owe you, I will also pay you double... no! Triple the money! What do you think?"
"It's too late!" Mamiya said coldly, "The lord doesn't want your money anymore, he only wants your head. Lend me your head to remind all the merchants behind our 'Gourd House' not to mess with us."
“Then go to hell!” Negishi Naomasa shouted at the top of his lungs, then leveled the cannon in his hand and pointed the muzzle straight at Mamiya, “What’s the use of your great swordsmanship?! Can you still deal with the cannon?!”
"Then why don't you try shooting?" Mamiya said in a joking tone.
“Go to hell!”
Negishi Naomasa roared and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
clang!
The sound of the cannon being fired and the sound of iron tools colliding rang out almost at the same time.
“W…what…?” Naomasa Negishi looked at the scene in front of him in horror.
Just now, when he pulled the trigger, Negishi Naomasa blinked.
Before he could blink, Mamiya was still motionless.
After closing his eyes and opening them again, he saw Mamiya maintaining the posture of drawing the sword.
And the bullet he had just fired - disappeared without a trace.
