[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

He walked on with his own agreement.

Then, it was several decades.

After seeing that scene, Chikage Kazama realized that she was unusual, and then realized that when she faced Nueno, she would always do a lot of words and deeds that were not like her.

For example, when the two of them were alone in the morning and Nueno explained the secrets of the ghost clan, Kazama would always feel very happy. No matter how difficult the content was, he could learn it with high spirits, but the same thing If it wasn't for Nueno's explanation, he would have given up on it soon.

If there is any unexpected contact with Nueno while listening to the lecture, his heartbeat will speed up a little unconsciously... This is different from the feeling in previous battles, and he can only look away quickly, hoping that Nueno Don't notice his strangeness, because he thought he was sick at first, and he didn't want to stop this happy time because of this little illness.

The same situation also happened in the martial arts class in the afternoon, the contact between the two people, Nue Ye's serious gaze...every behavior that represented intimacy would make him think about it, and he didn't know what he was subconsciously expecting, his body was already Involuntarily catered to.

And once he saw Hirasuke coming over from time to time, his complexion would darken. Although he didn't say much, both Nueno and Hirasuke could clearly sense his displeasure, and the other two only regarded him as It's because he doesn't like human beings, so he put on a bad face, and didn't say much.

Only Kazama knows that he is not unhappy because of Todo Heisuke's human identity, but because Heisuke has taken Nueno's time to pay attention to him.

This kind of pettiness, ups and downs, never appeared in his emotions before.

Discovering his abnormality during this period of time, Kazama Chikage silently ruled out many possibilities. He was sure that he was not sick, and he was also sure that he was not poisoned, and this kind of emotion always felt similar to him.

Then, one day, seeing Nueno showing a gentle smile and playing with the neighbor's children, Chikage Kazama was stunned for a moment, and suddenly rushed to the inner room in shock, grabbed her saber, and knelt on the ground tightly. Hold on tight.

Why did he just think of Nueno, who loves children very much, if one day he has a child and his wife who gave birth to a child... he suddenly had a violent urge to tear this picture apart?

Why... he just thought of such a thing as "if only he could give birth to Nue Ye's child"! ?

The young man widened his red eyes, gasped and questioned himself.

Why... Recently, I started to have a selfish thought that if I could never learn these things, I could keep Nueno here forever?

He knew intellectually that this was of course impossible, but he still had such extravagant hopes from time to time... Such unrealistic things, he used to dismiss them at all!

This person, Nueno... Has the influence on him already reached this point? !

He continued to think about his abnormality in amazement, and there were more and more questions, but when he was about to reveal the last step, he retreated instinctively.

no! ──He yelled at himself like this, if you don’t regret it, don’t continue! !

"What's wrong? Chikage." Nue Yeqing's calm voice came out from behind, and there was an undisguised worry in it.

Chikage Kazama's heart trembled, and he turned around slowly, only to see Nue Ye under the sun softening his somewhat stiff lines, and his expression showed gentle care inadvertently. Kazama's organs pulsated rapidly, as if about to jump out of his chest, showing its existence.

──He wants this man! !

Stronger desires gushed out than when facing Qianzuru before, and the strong impact made Kazama feel a little dizzy for a moment, he nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head quickly.

Nueno didn't understand what he meant, so he asked again: "Are you all right?"

This time, Kazama finally controlled his body: "It's okay."

"Really? If you have any questions, tell me... Take good care of your body." Nueno observed with his eyes again, and saw that there was really no abnormality in the other party's appearance, and then slowly left.

The hand holding the knife tightened, and Chikage Kazama closed her eyes, but she outlined a bitter expression.

──Is it where you want to go?

So, what is it that you are attracted to?

"Higakata...?" Keisuke Shannan rang out with a confused voice, waking up the young man who was a little confused.

"Ah... I'm sorry." Hijikata blinked and rubbed his eyebrows, "I thought about something yesterday, so I didn't sleep well... Sorry, I won't do it next time."

Shan Nan exchanged glances with the other soldiers who were discussing the matter together, and said, "Since this is the case, why don't you go back and have a good rest? Now there is only the matter of reorganizing the army, and the few of us are almost done. You can go back to rest first, and I will I will give you the report."

Tufang glanced at Shannan, finally nodded, and said, "I'll leave it to you." before leaving.

Now after drinking the medicine that Nue Ye brought, Shannan's physical condition has improved a lot, so he changed his identity and took the position of his assistant.

I have to say that having this helper made the earthwork a lot easier.

However, he still has military affairs, pressure...and, more recently, a nightmare.

Slowly pacing back to his room, Hijikata Toshisan stared at the door frame with a rare bewilderment in his expression.

He hasn't slept well in the past few days because he always sinks into a familiar and strange dream after falling asleep.

It was a gloomy room, and the light source came from a round of bright moon outside the window. He stayed inside, drinking alone in front of the moonlight, feeling the pleasure of gradually warming up his body and mind.

But the burning became more and more intense, and by the time he realized something was wrong, he had already drank eight or nine cents, and the remaining drop fell into his own wine dish.

Staring at the remaining alcohol, Hijikata finally drank it.

He was somewhat sure of his self-control.

But to his surprise, someone opened the door of this cubicle and stepped in.

...The next dream became blurred.

He seemed to be floating and sinking in mid-air, venting all his energy, and by the way, venting out the inexplicable unwillingness and grievance in his heart.

Just like the person in his memory, Tufang opened the paper door and slowly closed it.

He didn't let himself miss that dream for too long, because there were too many things that he needed to deal with in reality.

The earthworker did not rest at all, but continued to deal with the next matter.

The reason to let it go... there is another layer.

Because he always feels... the answer to the mystery seems to be revealed without waiting too long.

After that, Nueno began to study priestly affairs.

When he was wandering outside before, the master didn't have much energy to teach him, and the place was not right. Now that he is back, the master should teach him everything that must be passed on.

Then, he took him to tour the land, visiting ghost settlements living in seclusion in various places.

"Hey—that guy in front! That guy in blue!"

One day, while walking on the road, Nueno was stopped by a roar from behind.

When he turned his head, he saw a vigorous young man running up to him and shouting at him, "You marry me!"

Nueno suddenly showed a confused expression.

"Hey! Don't you want such a good thing? Why don't you agree?" After waiting for a while, the man continued to ask, "Don't you like me?"

Nueno had no choice but to say: "Well... I already have a wife... I really don't want to marry another... Also... You look like a man, and this is the first time we've met, right?"

"I'm a woman!" The man said without hesitation, "It doesn't matter if it's the first time we met, so you can marry me?"

"Princess...Master! Please stop making trouble! My lord wants you to go back quickly!" At this moment, the servant who arrived late seems to have finally caught up, "You ran out by yourself this time, and my lord will be very angry when he finds out! Don't be self-willed. !"

"I don't want it!" The young man—now confirmed to be a girl—threw away the opponent's hand, "Why should I marry an old man who is 30 years older than me?! This person is very good, it is him! "

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly crawled to Nue Ye's back, staring vigilantly at the person who came to arrest her.

So Nueno, who was forced to face him, could only stare at each other.

"That... Excuse me..."

"My surname is Nueno."

"Mr. Nueno...can I trouble you to come with me?" The man waved his hands and made an awkward request.

"I didn't want to marry her." Nueno said decisively.

"...Now it's not a question of whether to marry or not...it's a princess...uh...it's a question of whether you can come back..." The man continued to frown, and kept bending down, "Please!"

Nue Ye felt that he was being grasped tightly, secretly suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, and said again: "I'm already married."

"Please..."

Seeing that he couldn't communicate well, Nueye pulled out his sleeve with clever strength, turned his footsteps, and immediately dodged the two of them and dodged several miles away.When the two of them came to their senses, Nue Ye was several miles away from them, and was running away quickly.

"Princess..." Seeing this, the servant looked at his master sadly.

"Really!" After stomping her feet, the girl finally looked at the direction in which Nueno disappeared, and said angrily, "I won't give up!"

I've been a little tired recently, and when I was about to start typing today, I thought about what to do for a long time.

So the plot speeds up. (?)
