"Mr. Goro, have you finished reading my book?"

"I'm halfway through the book." Ogata said, "You've written these books really well. They're simple and easy to read."

Today is the third day of sailing on a stowaway boat.

The days of crossing the sea are bound to be boring.

In a rickety cabin with so many "roommates", it was impossible to do many things.

As for Omachi, she was prone to seasickness, so she basically lay down to sleep or closed her eyes to rest her mind throughout the day, leaving Ogata with no one to chat with.

Therefore, in order to pass this boring time, Ogata has been relying on the "'Yunjin' training manual" given to him by Azuki for the past three days to relieve his boredom.

It's okay if you don't read it, but once you look at it, you will find that this cultivation manual is really amazing.

Although the book is short, with only 6 pages in total, the sentences are quite concise and the content is easy to understand.

This may also be related to the fact that "luck" is not that difficult to learn.

Although "Yun Jin" relies on the clever use of muscles to explode strength, it may sound intimidating and difficult to learn, but in fact it is not that difficult to learn.

After mastering the basic level of "Yun Jin" through the system, Ogata deeply realized that "Yun Jin" is a very typical martial arts that is easy to get started but very difficult to continue to improve.

If a commoner told him that he had roughly learned "luck" from this book, Ogata would not be surprised.

Comparing Azhu's "'Yun Jin' Training Manual" with Genichi's "'No Self Two Sword Style' Training Manual", there is a huge difference.

If someone tells Ogata that he has learned the "Immortal Two-Sword Style" only by relying on Genichi's training manual, then Ogata would like to call that person "the best understanding master in the world."

Because Ogata always took out this training manual to read, he would often attract Tsuki who was sitting near him.

Ogata's behavior of frequently taking out training manuals may have caused Tsuki to mistakenly think that Ogata was very interested in "luck" and was studying hard. Therefore, Tsuki would come to ask Ogata from time to time, "Which book do you want to read?"

How's it going? How's learning 'Yunjin' going?"

A Zhu came to "visit" so frequently, probably because he was bored.

She seemed to have no companions and was all alone. There was nothing to do except huddle in the corner.

Ogata happens to be very bored, so he welcomes Tsuki to "visit" and pass the time.

Naturally, Ogata would not tell her honestly: I have actually already mastered "luck".

After all, this is really shocking and might frighten the child. And later on, it would be difficult to explain to the child how he quickly mastered this "luck".

So every time Tsukuru came to ask Ogata "How are you seeing and how are you practicing?" Ogata would often say something casually like now to fool him.

After hearing Ogata say that he had read half of her book, Azuki showed a bit of surprise on his face: "I've read half of it. So, is there anything I haven't understood so far?

"

"Your book is very well written, and all the contents are easy to understand. So there is nothing that I can't understand yet." Ogata responded.

Azhu nodded: "Then continue reading slowly. If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

After saying that, Azhu patted her breasts, which were somewhat plump considering her height and age.

When he first met Tsuki, Ogata had not noticed this feature of Tsuki's body because he was wearing a black robe that could cover her entire body.

But after these three days of contact, Ogata gradually discovered that Azuki and Amachi were very similar. The flesh on their bodies seemed to be conscious, and the flesh was concentrated in two places.

Although the flesh on Azuki's chest is not as much or as thick as Atachi's, it is still far above the average for her age.

If Ogata were to give a vivid description, Atachi is difficult to grasp with one hand, while Tsukuba can just grasp it with one hand.

After Azuki finished speaking, Ogata resisted the urge to show a strange expression.

Every time Azuki said, "If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask her." Ogata had a strong urge to look weird.

Because if he wanted to now, he could raise his "luck" in one breath to a level that was beyond Azhu's reach.

But he couldn't tell the truth, so he could only force his expression and then casually say something like "I know, I understand" to fool him.

"Well……"

At this time, Amachi, who was lying next to Ogata and had been concentrating with his eyes closed just now, suddenly let out a low groan of pain.

"Atachi, what's wrong?" Ogata asked quickly.

"It's okay..." Ating said, "I'm just a little dizzy again."

"Do you want me to massage your scalp?"

"No need. It will be fine after a while."

Azuki, who was listening quietly to the conversation between Ogata and Ogata, suddenly said: "Mr. Goro, you and your wife have a really good relationship. A man like you who would take the initiative to massage his wife's head is too much."

not enough."

In the past three days, every time Asuki came to ask Ogata "How did you learn 'Unkin'?", the two would have a brief chat. Therefore, after going back and forth, Asuki also learned about Ogata and Atachi's relationship.

relationship, and also knew Ogata’s identity.

Of course, the identity of Ogata that Ashuku knows is just the false identity of the "Ezo goods merchant" that Ogata made up.

"After all, my wife and I have experienced a lot of things together." Ogata said with a smile, "When we came back to our senses, we had already developed a deep relationship."

"That's great..." Azhu looked full of admiration, "I don't know if I can have such a husband in the future who has shared honor and disgrace for a long time..."

"It's a pity that I still have to travel around now... I won't have the leisure to get married for a long time..."

Speaking of this, a fleeting dark color flashed in Azhu's eyes.

"Is this trip of yours such an important thing?" Ogata asked without leaving any trace, "To think that you don't even think about getting married."

"Yes." Azhu replied without hesitation, "To me now, traveling is the most important thing. Everything else is trivial."

"Why are you traveling?" Ogata asked, "To see the beautiful scenery in the world?"

"Well..." Azhu chuckled, "Secret"

After three days of getting along with each other, Ogata also got to know a little bit about Ashuku's character.

In a word, he is a person who exudes a somewhat innocent and romantic atmosphere no matter how he speaks or behaves.

To put it simply, she is just a little girl who still has a bit of childishness about her.

This probably has something to do with her young age.

By the way: In the past three days, Ogata asked Azuki his age.

Ashuku's age is exactly what Ogata guessed. He is exactly 15 years old this year.

However, she is obviously a little girl who still has childishness in her body, but she is very smart in some aspects.

After learning that the reason why Azuki sold this "luck" at a low price was just to raise money for the trip, Ogata became a little curious about the purpose of Azuki's trip.

Is this child a descendant of Iga ninja? Or is she just an ordinary civilian girl who got this "Iga forbidden art" through various mistakes?

Does this child know that this is "Iga-style forbidden art" but still sells it at a low price? Or does she really not know that this is "Iga-style forbidden art"?

Why do you want to raise the travel expenses by selling this martial arts at a low price?

In fact, Ogata had asked Azuki directly or indirectly more than once about the reason for his trip. By the way, he also asked a few times about Azuki's origins, hoping to confirm her relationship with Iga.

But they were all fooled by Azhu.

When asked about the purpose of the trip, Azhu was vague or just played dumb.

When asked about her origin, she always said that she was the daughter of an ordinary businessman. In addition to emphasizing that she was the daughter of a businessman, she also stopped talking about other family matters.

Faced with Azuki's vague attitude towards these questions, Ogata was actually not annoyed. After all, he was just asking out of curiosity.

Until now, Ogata still doesn't have much interest in Iga.

Facing Azuki, Ogata has always positioned him as "a passer-by in life who will never have anything to do with or meet her again after getting off this stowaway boat."

So even if this passer-by in life never answered his questions directly, Ogata didn't care much. At most, he only felt a little regretful that his curiosity could not be satisfied.

…

…

"Would you like to get up and drink some water?"

"Hmm..." A-Machi nodded lightly.

Seeing A-Machi nod, Ogata helped A-Machi sit up, unscrewed the bamboo tube filled with water, and filled A-Machi with water little by little.

The current time is just after noon.

There seemed to be really no other dry food on Azuki's body. For the past three days, she had been living on the dry food Ogata had given her in the name of "instead of money to buy her straw sandals."

I don't know whether it was because Azhu didn't eat enough, or because she was deliberately controlling the consumption of dry food. After eating only a small piece of dried fish, she didn't eat anything else and began to lean against the corner and fall asleep.

Azhu's sleeping appearance... to use a nice word, is heroic.

Leaning against the corner, his head was raised, his mouth was slightly open, and a drop of crystal clear saliva was faintly visible at the corner of his mouth, about to drip down.

And a low snore could be heard faintly coming from her mouth and nose.

Because Azuki's sleeping appearance was so conspicuous, Azuki couldn't help but cast a strange look at him after drinking the water.

"It's a shame that the child can sleep in such a noisy environment..." Amachi said with emotion.
