885 Episode 884 - Fifth Martial Arts Congress - Part 5

Side: the man who abandoned his hometown

I heard a more boiling voice. It's been a busy year. Annual martial arts tournament. That would be the voice of the guys watching it.

I'd like to see it once and for all, but the martial arts tournament is time to make money.

I usually work for an instructor, but the instructor is off during a martial arts tournament. Even though our village only rested about the basin and New Year's Eve, Ozhang has many holidays a year.

I don't have a problem eating after a break, but work while you can. Martial arts competitions have a different job. That'll be good money again.

I abandoned a village not long ago, where the fields were wasted in the wild, and took my family from my home village. Thanks to you, it's a good thing you came in.

"Ugh... Mom. Mother......"

"Lost again? Hey, take him to the lost depository."

"I'm in awe"

You work for the guards. You arbitrate fights, and you take the lost child to a place where you gather your strays called the Depository.

"Hey, boy. Are you okay? Come on, let's go to your mother."

I pull the lost hand that sneezed my face with tears and snot, and walk through the crowd with many. There are plenty of cities out there during martial arts competitions.

And Ozhang is a good place. You can't complain about getting caught selling your hometown out of the village by yourself. I'm sorry about the guy who took my eyes off me. That's what they say. If I sell someone else's child because of Ozhang, I will be punished?

"Oh, you've been crying for a long time. Are you okay?"

I guess a stranger will take you and scare you to get lost. A strange woman called out from behind her back not to stop crying, but turned around and was surprised.

She was a woman with beautiful kimonos and golden hair.

"Ha, yes. I'm going to walk you to the depository like you're lost."

In Ozhang, the only woman like this is a Nambarian from Kuyuan. Different identities. I couldn't help but sweat.

"Are you kidding?"

"How are you?

The children, who must have taken the woman, spoke to the stray they were taking with them. You're looking good. Is she a child of your stature?

"Fukuro! She said she'd kick ass."

"Well, then I'll take you to the depository."

I could tell by the fact that the young children still called their names. This woman is the Mother of Mercy. You didn't take a step back from Mi-no-san's Tuki servants.

"You're a temporary guard. I'll take care of this girl. You can go back to work."

"Yes, I'm in awe"

The stray had stopped crying thanks to the Son of the Lady of Mercy. I was horrified to see the Lady of Mercy walking happily as if she were my child and the lost children taking me.

That's a good place. Ozhang is.

I remember the morning I abandoned my hometown village.

When I went back to prune the rice, the fields were wasted overnight in the field. Abandon your parents or sell your children. I had such a consultation with my father, who was still healthy, and abandoned the village.

We were all crying when we left the house where we were born and raised. My father and mother would abandon the house and village where they lived for generations. So much so that I cried with sorrow that I didn't want to leave the village without knowing Ozhang.

Still better than throwing away parents and selling kids.

Such parents and children should be somewhere by now enjoying watching martial arts competitions.

I wouldn't say luxury. All you have to do is have dinner with your family. I bow my head deeply to the departing Mother of Mercy, and I return to my role.

Let's do our best. Don't you ever have to abandon your hometown again. So that we can all laugh and live together.

Side: a long time ago

There are minor problems, but the martial arts tournament is going well without any major problems. The subject of popular participation is incandescent year after year.

I guess it's big that when you win, you get rewards. Nevertheless, what can we do to win? It is interesting that the inhabitants also think about it.

It's just. Sometimes it's incandescent, and I wonder if there are men and women who do it naked in their upper body. Simply because kimonos are unsuitable for exercise, it would be difficult to move, or to keep them from getting dirty.

There is no wonder, indecency or colour. Is it because that is normal?

Well, that's the culture and common sense of this era. Pushing the values of the original world on those who enjoy it is not good, nor is it absolutely necessary. We need to accept what we have to accept.

"Ah..."

Oh, Mr. Makoto, I lost. I won World War II and a stranger was my opponent in World War III. Who's that guy?

"The Yin Liu's Aizhou Zongtong Hall? That's fair."

"Is it a shady stream?

It was Kikumaru who told me who he was and who he was looking at the opposing table. The first and second days were in the VIP table, but they're walking around and enjoying themselves today, and I just came to show my face.

"Is there something you don't even know about Kuyuan? You're the one who came out on the recommendation of Lord Hokusai. You heard that his father, Lord Aizhou Kuzhong, opened a shady stream. He's a martial artist."

Yin Liu and Aizhou Zongtong know. If it's about a name. I'm just surprised it was out. I was confident Mr. Geisha brought someone strong, but you mean that guy.

Kikumaru mistook me for not knowing, and told me with a little joy. There's quite a few things I don't know.

Makoto-san, I'm strong, but you're still young. Julia also said it was tough to win. I didn't know you'd hit with someone like that.

"A lot of people have known their names this year"

"To say a word with a martial artist, I don't like living in the dark tomorrow. There will be many who want to test their arms and stand up for themselves."

Kikumaru, I'm totally from a martial arts perspective. That being said, Mr. Okheikoku was making a scene. I thought you said that Mr. Jitsu ran into him and he was staying at the mansion. Thank you. I hear there are quite a few martial arts artists from other countries who are coming in a manner close to being literate.

"Hmm. You need to hit something next year"

I talked to Mr. Jing Soo a little yesterday, but the main contestants might want to prepare a dedicated inn starting next year.

More and more people are making a little noise here in the territory with a lot of jailers and martial artists from other countries, right?

A little out of the question, aside from the fact that there are currently very few enclaves that take taxes on Oda territory, the rest are territories such as Tsushima, Hotfields, Krabby River, Yazokuza River and Sekihara. Basically, if you put it in the realm, you won't be taxed.

However, the number of checkpoints has not decreased as much, and in Tsushima, Hotfields, Tsingzhou and Ogaki, etc. there are still checkpoints on the streets that used to take taxes, which serve as checkpoints for people.

The increasing influx of people is the result of increased policing and immigration controls. The morals of the inhabitants are gradually improving, but naturally, leaving the Oda territory is a war country turmoil. Displaced persons and prisoners are often poor and hungry, and it is never uncommon for people to dye their hands in crime.

There are also quite a few pedestrian breaks. There is also a downside to the fact that the current mechanism of not taking taxes once you get into the territory for taking large amounts of taxes at once makes it easier for the rest to do so.

There is no way that the most broken businessmen can do decent business in the territory, and most of them get caught. At the checkpoint, they issue a bill of lading, and they send out a circular to the realm not to buy it from anyone who doesn't.

You're sending sneaky pedestrians to less profitable villages. There is also a guideline box, so more people are calling me.

The problem is martial arts artists and jailers. There are quite a few people who come through customs because they can't pay taxes. I haven't put this one in town either because I need a bill of lading to get into town properly, but it often makes me a thief.

When an unspecified number of people come together with economic development, that kind of problem really happens. Especially since Oda territory mostly dominates the transportation hub.

Decent martial artists and jailers and those who don't will need to be considered to respond separately in the future.
