I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

This is the story that happened when Ogata and the others still stayed in Nishino Town in the Ou area to celebrate the New Year——

...

...

Nishinocho, the inn where Ogata and the others stayed——

"So what are you going to do with these old clothes?" Ogata asked.

"I'm thinking too..." A-Machi sighed softly.

On the tatami in front of Ogata and Atachi, there were three neatly folded kimonos.

These are Machi's old clothes.

Perhaps because during the recent period, the body has been fully stimulated almost every day, the 19-year-old A-Machi has ushered in the growth of his body again.

The height has not changed, but the flesh in some places has become more.

It is winter now, and there are many clothes to be stuffed under the kimono. After some parts of the body become more fleshy, the kimono is a little "overwhelmed".

A few days ago, Ogata clearly felt that it was much more difficult for A-Ming to get dressed.

Every time he puts on his clothes, Machi has to take a deep breath—not contracting the abdomen, but contracting the chest cavity.

While struggling to shrink his chest, he tried his best to stuff himself into the kimono.

Putting on clothes every day is so laborious, which also makes A-Machi feel bored, so she made an appointment with Ogata to buy some new clothes together when there is nothing to do in the New Year.

The purchase of new clothes went smoothly. Ogata and the others are not short of money now, and they quickly bought high-quality new clothes.

But after that, a new small problem emerged: what to do with these old clothes?

At this moment, Ogata and the others were thinking about this question.

"How about pawning it?" Ogata suggested.

"These ragged clothes of mine are not expensive and good things, and I have worn them so old. If you take them to a pawn shop, they probably won't take them." A-Ming rubbed them lightly as he spoke. He squeezed his right shoulder.

Ogata glanced at A-Ming's hand that was kneading her shoulder: "What's wrong? Is your shoulder uncomfortable?"

"It can be considered uncomfortable... This is also my old problem..." Ah-Ming's cheeks flushed slightly due to embarrassment,

"Since I was 15, my shoulders have always been sore."

"I'm used to it. But recently, my shoulders are more prone to soreness than before..."

Ogata stopped listening carefully to what A-Machi was talking about in the second half of his sentence.

He put all his heart and soul on the number "15 years old" that Machi had just mentioned.

Ogata subconsciously glanced at Machi's bear.

"It's really an incredible qualification." Ogata whispered in a volume that only he could hear clearly.

"Huh? What were you talking about?"

"I said just now—it's not easy for girls." Ogata lied, without blushing or panting.

"Yeah..." A-Machi let out a long breath, "What's more terrible - this sore shoulder can only be endured, there is no way to relieve this soreness..."

Speaking of this, A-Machi let out another long sigh.

Ogata couldn't bear to see Ogata's melancholy face.

——Is there any way to help Machi?

As soon as this thought popped out of Ogata's mind, he suddenly felt a flash of lightning flashing across his mind - he suddenly remembered.

"Yeah..." Ogata muttered softly.

He remembered—in his previous life, there was a kind of clothing that might be able to relieve Ah Ding's "symptoms".

"A-Machi." Ogata said seriously, "Can you give me these three old clothes of yours?"

"...What are you doing?" A-machi cast a strange look at Ogata.

"Don't look at me like that! I won't do anything strange to your clothes! I just want to use your old clothes to cut a new one."

"New clothes? Do you still make clothes?"

"I don't know how to make clothes. But the structure of the new clothes I want to make is very simple, and a layman like me should be able to do it."

"What new clothes do you want?"

"Let me keep this a secret. I'll tell you when it's done."

"Anyway, I don't want these old clothes anymore. If you want to use them for new clothes, then use them. But—don't do weird things with my clothes... I was still in Jiangxi before. When I was in the household, I heard that there was a person in Edo who liked to steal other women's clothes to wear some time ago..."

Before A-Machi finished speaking, Ooyoung immediately interrupted:

"I wouldn't do such a thing!"

...

...

The next morning, early in the morning—

"Yeah..." Machi, who hadn't been naked since last night, stretched and slowly sat up from the bed because she had to do something.

Before he had time to put on his clothes, he heard Ogata's slightly excited voice from beside him:

"Machi! You woke up just right! Try on this dress!"

"Huh?" A-Machi looked at Ogata with a confused face.

Ogata, who didn't know when he got up, was holding a piece of pink...cloth with both hands?

At a glance, A-Machi recognized that the piece of "cloth" in Ogata's hand was cut from her pink kimono that was no longer worn.

The kimono worn by A-Machi has always been plain in color. The three old clothes she no longer wears are pink, light yellow and light green.

"Is this piece of cloth the new clothes you told me about yesterday?" Ah Ding widened his eyes.

"That's right. But don't underestimate this dress." Ogata said seriously, "This dress may relieve your 'symptom' of always sore shoulders."

If there are modern people present, they must be quite familiar with the "cloth" in Ogata's hands.

This piece of "cloth" is exactly the kind of clothing that modern women must wear on their upper bodies when they go out.

Last night, after A-Ming was tired from certain things and went to bed early, Ogata got up secretly and began to use A-Ming's old clothes to cut out new clothes based on the memories of his previous life in his mind.

Ogata originally thought that the fabric of this kind of clothes was so scarce that it must be easy to cut, but after actually picking up the scissors, Ogata realized that it was not the case at all.

At that moment, Ogata really felt that tailoring is also an extremely difficult profession...

Fortunately - Ogata had been busy working until dawn, and when Amachi had already woken up, Ogata finally finished cutting this new dress smoothly.

"This 'cloth' is clothes? And it can also make my shoulders less sore?" A-Ming glanced suspiciously at the clothes in Ogata's hands, "How do I wear this?"

Ogata briefly explained to Machi how to wear the clothes.

After Ogata's voice fell, A-Machi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This way of wearing clothes is too unimaginable for a native Edo period woman like A Machi.

After looking Ogata up and down several times with weird eyes, she said quietly: "Did you design this kind of clothes yourself? Or did someone tell you?"

"This is the clothes I heard from a vagrant when I left the domain and wandered around." Ogata said without hesitation, "The rogue is a orchidist, and he said that this kind of clothing is very common in the southern barbarian countries. It’s a piece of clothing that, when worn, does a lot of good for that part of the woman.”

Ogata used his usual excuse, "This is what I heard when I was wandering around."

This excuse is so easy to use that it is almost universal, and it can be applied to any occasion where "something suddenly came up with a whimsical idea". Others have nowhere to start if they want to prove falsification.

Out of trust in Ogata, after hearing Ogata's excuse, the suspicion in A-Machi's eyes dissipated a little.

After looking at Ogata and the "cloth" in his hand several times, A-Machi shook his head vigorously: "No, I won't wear it. I feel that wearing this kind of clothes will be uncomfortable."

The strangeness and unknown feeling of this kind of clothing made A-Machi instinctively refuse to wear it.

"Try it." Ogata persuaded, "Maybe you won't feel uncomfortable. It just so happens that you don't have any clothes on right now."

Ogata tried hard to persuade Ah-ding—he stayed up for nearly half the night in order to cut the clothes, just to comfort the hard work and not let the hard work go to waste, Ogata had enough motivation to persuade him Machi wears this dress.

Finally—under Ogata's hard persuasion, A-Ming relented.

"Got it..." Ah-Ming sighed lightly and nodded, "Then I'll try it on..."

She took the clothes from Ogata's hand, and then put on the clothes with a slightly clumsy technique under Ogata's guidance.

Ogata and the others have a heater in their room, so there is no need to worry about Machi, who is not wearing any clothes, getting cold.

Because Ogata's ability is limited, he is not a professional tailor, and the tools and materials he can use are only scissors and the old clothes of A Machi who are no longer worn, so naturally he cannot reproduce the modern clothes. A version with hooks to hold the straps.

The one Ogata had in hand was all tied with a bow tie.

Therefore, the clothes that Ogata cut out by himself are more like the famous three-point swimsuit in modern times than underwear.

Since it was the first time to wear this kind of clothing, it took Ah-machi nearly 5 minutes to finally put it on.

After A-Machi put on the clothes, Ogata quickly took a few steps back to distance himself from A-Machi, and then seriously looked at the current A-Machi.

After quickly looking at it several times——

"Wow……"

Ogata let out a low sigh of emotion subconsciously.

To use a more vivid metaphor... It's like a pool of water that was originally flat on the ground has been gathered into a bucket.

That part of A-Ming was already very conspicuous, but after wearing this dress, it became even more conspicuous.

"The fabric is probably too little..." Ah-Ming tugged at the piece of fabric, "You didn't mean to cut it so small on purpose, did you?"

Ogata quickly shook his head like a rattle.

"It's nothing. I cut it properly, I just miscalculated the size..."

Ogata didn't lie this time.

Since it was the first time cutting this kind of clothes, Ogata was not surprised, so Ogata didn't know what size to cut to be more suitable.

Whether the cut is too big or too small, it will be extremely uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, when cutting, Ogata thinks twice before starting to use the knife.

He thought that this size should be enough—however, the scene before Ogata's eyes proved that truth: plans often fail to keep up with changes.

The too small piece of cloth only covered the southern hemisphere, and a large area of ​​skin in the northern hemisphere was still exposed to the air.

Now, it looked more like a swimsuit... And it was an unusually bold swimsuit.

"Can this thing really relieve my sore shoulders?" A-Ming touched the two laces that had sunk into the flesh of her shoulders.

"Eh? With this clothes to support you, won't you feel more relaxed?" Ogata asked back in surprise.

"It does feel like being held up, but it doesn't feel strong enough, it's not held up at all, and you see—you cut the straps at the shoulders too thin, right? These two straps are my There are striations on my shoulder, and now I feel my shoulder hurts even more..."

"That's it...then I'll improve it later..."

"There's no need to improve. Even if you improve, I won't wear this dress again."

"Why? After I improve it, it shouldn't be so uncomfortable to wear."

"It's not a question of whether it's uncomfortable to wear. It's that after wearing this clothes, wearing Wu clothes will make me look ugly."

"What do you mean?" Ogata looked confused.

"It seems that you don't understand this kind of knowledge at all..." A-Ming sighed lightly, then blushed slightly, stretched out his fingers and poked somewhere soft, "Look—after wearing this clothes , don't I look more prominent here?"

"Isn't that good?" Ogata asked subconsciously.

"Of course it's not good." Ah Ding said angrily, "In this way, after wearing the Wu suit, the place will be even more bulging, and the lining will make the whole dress look out of shape."

Emotionally revealed a clear color.

It dawned on him.

He remembered—the aesthetics of the Edo period were very strange.

In the Edo period, there was a faint atmosphere of "the poor, the superior and the giant".

Because in this era, it is generally believed that if there is too much nutrition there, when wearing a kimono, the kimono will be too big and too ugly.

Therefore, some women who are very nutritious there often use cloth to bind that part tightly before wearing a kimono.

Because A-Ming finds it bothersome and tiring, he usually doesn't tie it up there.

"I think you'll look better if you wear this dress and Wufu," Ogata said.

"I don't want it." Ah-Machi gave Ogata a white look.

After finishing speaking, A-Ming raised his hands and rubbed his shoulders that were sore from being strangled by those two thin laces.

After rubbing it a few times, Ah-Ming suddenly seemed to have discovered something, his eyes widened, and he turned to look at his left shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Ogata asked.

"The lace is cut too thin by you...I feel...the lace on my left shoulder is about to break..."

As soon as Ah Ding finished speaking, he heard a soft "boom".

This thin sound is the sound of complete liberation after the belt is "overwhelmed".

The tiny laces, after bearing the unbearable weight for too long, the laces on A-Ming's left shoulder snapped, and then the whole garment fell lightly to the ground...

Both Ogata and A-Machi focused their attention on the clothes that fell to the ground lightly like fallen leaves.

——What an astonishing size and weight...

Looking at the clothes lying quietly on the ground, Ogata almost blurted out the words in his mind.

As for A-Ming——after seeing the laces of the clothes being broken by the huge weight, he was startled for a while, and then his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, as if nothing happened and didn't know anything, he silently retracted his body into the bed, turned around, and turned his back towards Ogata.

...

...

Afterwards, Ogata persuaded A-Ming for a long time, but she didn't want to wear this dress again.

...

...
