Volume 4: The Undead Chapter 210 Sword Master - Kinoshita Genichi
Mamiya, Makimura, and Atachi asked him three different questions one after another.
After sighing softly, Ogata took the lead in answering Atachi's question:
"That's right. In addition to the one-sword style called Sakakibara Ittoryu, I am also good at a sword style called Muga Nitoryu."
"Since I landed on the island, I have never encountered an opponent who required me to draw my dual swords and go all out, so I have always only used Sakakibara's One Sword Ryu to fight the enemy, and never used Muga's Two Sword Ryu."
After answering A-Machi's question, Ogata turned to answer Makimura's question.
The space in this room is relatively small, so it is naturally impossible to draw the sword on the spot and show Muga's two-sword style sword skills to Makimura.
However - if you want to prove that you have mastered the two-sword style, you don't actually need to draw your swords.
Ogata took two deep breaths, and then slowly transformed his breathing into the Breath of Source.
Looking at the familiar rise and fall of Ogata's chest, Makimura exclaimed:
"It really is the Breath of Origin!"
After exclaiming like this, Mucun murmured:
"Mamiya... I understand why you told me that we who belong to the Calabash House need to listen to it... I never thought that besides Genichi and the lord, there is a third person who masters this swordsmanship..."
"As to why I mastered the Two Swords Style... the reason is actually very simple."
After answering Makimura's questions, Ogata began to answer Mamiya's questions.
As Ogata spoke, he pulled out the secret book of "Muga Nito-ryu" from his arms and threw it towards Mamiya.
“I’m self-taught.”
After Mamiya took the "Muga Nistoryu" secret book thrown by Ogata, Makimura beside him also came over and looked at the secret book in Mamiya's hand.
Looking at the secret book with the five Chinese characters "Muga Nito-ryu" written on the cover, an indescribable strange look appeared on Mamiya and Makimura's faces.
"This secret book was given to me by my master..."
Ogata told Mamiya and Makimura the origin of the secret book in detail.
He talked about how his uncle Sakakibara Denichirō met the two-sword master by chance, and how his master Sakakibara Hanbei gave him this secret book.
After summarizing the origin of this secret book in the simplest possible sentences, Ogata could not wait to ask Mamiya and Makimura:
"Since your two lords also know how to use the Wuga Nito-ryu style, could it be that your lords are the authors of this secret manual and the founders of the Wuga Nito-ryu style?"
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Mamiya and Makimura shook their heads at the same time.
“No.” Mamiya said, “My lord is not the founder of Wuga Nito-ryu. My lord… should be considered the second generation direct descendant of Wuga Nito-ryu.”
"Genichi is the founder of Muga Nito-ryu and the author of this secret book."
Mamiya raised the secret book that Ogata threw to him, and said to Makimura beside him with a wry smile:
"Come to think of it - I don't even remember where I threw the secret book that Master Genichi gave me."
"I took the secret book that Master Yuanyi gave me and used it as a cushion on the corner of the table a long time ago." The thief Mucun laughed a few times.
"The second generation successor?" Ogata asked in confusion, "What is the relationship between that Genichi and your lord?"
"Master Genichi is my lord's great-uncle," Mamiya replied, "and the elder brother of my lord's grandfather."
"Master Genichi's full name is Kinoshita Genichi."
"The Muga Nito-ryu sword style was created by Master Genichi."
"Master Genichi is... a person with a very strange personality."
Having said this, Mamiya showed a bitter smile full of helplessness on his face.
"He really hopes that more people can master his Muga Nito-Ryu."
"But he was too lazy to open a sword gym and teach his sword skills himself."
"So he picked up his paintbrush and started writing the secret manual of Wuga Nito-Ryu."
As Mamiya spoke, he once again raised the secret book that Ogata had just thrown to him.
"Master Yuanyi has written countless books over the past few decades... and I don't know how many he has given away..."
"Whenever he sees someone with some talent in swordsmanship, such as your uncle, Master Genichi will directly give him the secret manual of the Muga Nito-ryu."
"Every member of our Calabash House has a copy."
"I have always felt that what Master Yuanyi is doing is a futile effort."
"Because - how could anyone possibly master the Muga Nito-ryu with this lousy manual?"
When Mamiya said this, Makimura and Ogata both nodded in agreement.
If it weren't for the help of the system, Ogata wouldn't be able to understand these weird drawings.
"Because the secret book given to me by Master Genichi is of no use to me, I don't remember where I threw my secret book of "I Mutsujitsuryu" away."
"Master Genichi taught me the Muga Nito-ryu only once in his life - that was when he taught it to my lord."
"Although Master Yuanyi is not good at writing secret manuals, he is still quite good at teaching people personally."
"Under the personal instruction of Master Genichi, my lord successfully mastered the sword technique of Muga Nito-ryu, and can be considered the second-generation direct descendant of this sword technique."
"This is incredible, Ogata-kun. I didn't expect that you could comprehend this sword technique with just this broken secret book."
“Haha, if Master Yuan-ichi knew that there is actually someone in this world who can understand the secret book that he painstakingly compiled, he would definitely be very happy.”
After saying that, Mamiya handed the secret book in his hand back to Ogata.
——Painstakingly and painstakingly compiled the secret book...? Painstakingly and painstakingly compiled the secret book is like this...?
While silently complaining in his mind, Ogata sighed subconsciously:
"Kinoshita Genichi... this man is really amazing... he can actually create such a powerful sword technique..."
"Awesome?" Mamiya chuckled a few times as if he had heard something interesting.
Not only Mamiya, but also Makimura next to him was smiling.
Just as Ogata was wondering why the two were laughing for no reason, Mamiya, with a smile that had a more meaningful look on his face, said softly:
"Ogata-kun, Master Genichi is more than just 'awesome'."
"Ogata-kun, do you know why people who like Genichi-sama, people who hate Genichi-sama, and people who want to kill Genichi-sama all call him Genichi-sama?"
"I don't know." Ogata shook his head obediently.
"It's the Sword Master."
"Even those who hate Master Genichi the most admire his superb swordsmanship!"
"Even though Master Genichi is now 64 years old and very old, he is still unrivaled in the world!"
After Mamiya said this in a firm tone, Atachi muttered:
"64 years old and still unrivaled...? Is this true ..."
