[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

Looking at that person, it seems that everything has calmed down, whether it is the mood or the air.

Except for Chikage Kazama, the others didn't know how to react for a while.

The vampire aristocrat glanced at the unknown people around him, and easily identified the identities of these people based on his perception of blood. He frowned, and was immediately noticed by Lu beside him.

Lu took half a step forward, still not ahead of where Hill was standing, and said loudly: "Master Blade, do you want to find a place to rest?"

Being reminded like this, Nueno immediately said: "That's right, but I didn't entertain well enough, Rigi, let's come to the village together."

"Yes." Reggie responded immediately.

"As for... you all come with me." Nueno looked at the others in the Shinsengumi, "Chike, Chizuru, put away the ghost horns, let the energy gather at the position of the heart, turn clockwise, condense In a circle... Doing so can suppress the energy fluctuations that I just triggered."

"As for Hajime, Chief Secretary, Toshisan, and Hirasuke, can you stand up?" He turned his gaze to the four who had just turned into Rakshasa. "San, how did you and Hirasuke come from the battlefield?"

Hijikata, who was named, got up and stood up, still smelling of smoke and blood from the battlefield, "Heard the news... Shannan called us over, he said you can explain to us..."

"Really..." Nueno paused, "He really didn't say that..."

"However, it seems that things are moving in the direction I decided with him." Nueno changed his tone, "Do you still need to go back? Judging by Shannan's speed, he should have already left Xiangjun when you left. The Ministry reported that you and Heisuke died on the battlefield, and he himself has no intention of leaving, do you want to go back?"

"What do you mean?" Tufang frowned.

"On the official record, the two of you are already 'dead'. So do you want to die on the battlefield?" Nueno said, "If you want to go back, I won't stop you... So does the chief executive, Hajime, and Harada, no matter what I will not stop anyone."

"If you decide to cut off the entanglement of the past, then follow up."

After finishing speaking, he distanced himself from the wind, and immediately turned around and walked towards a certain direction.

That was... Michio Kazama's body.

Unexpectedly, it didn't suffer any damage during the battle just now, it was only stained with some ice shavings.

"Chikage, just like Chizuru, I won't stop you from taking revenge on me..." Nueno put the man on his back, and said to Kazama, "However, it would be better for him to take him to the village... ..." Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "Sure enough, I am getting old, and I always think about things."

"If you're old, then what am I?" Hill, who didn't know when he came to his side, said angrily.

Nueno glanced at the other party, and smiled with his beautiful face even though he put away the ghost horns, "Sill, if your heart is as old as mine, you will know what I'm thinking .”

"People are small and ghosts are big."

"I'm not like a vampire who has lived for thousands of years."

"I'm calling you brother."

"This kind of joke... I don't think you take it seriously."

The two walked farther and farther on their own, Riki and Lu followed of course, Kazama didn't even look at the others, and immediately chased after them, while Chizuru glanced at Harada, lowered her eyes, and followed Feng between steps.

"This is... what's going on?" Harada asked stupidly without any psychological preparation in advance. "Follow up...where are you going?"

"Probably a nearby stronghold." Saito said.

"So~~ Deputy Chief, you and Hirasuke came from the battlefield? What about the others?" Okita greeted sharply as always.

"The rest of the team members all died under Nueno's arrangement and went back to their own homes. Only me, Hirasuke, and Shannan are left... Now only Shannan is left." Hijikata glanced over there, briefly to answer. "It's good to see you're all right."

"Hirasuke!" Ryunosuke immediately stepped forward and grabbed Hirasuke's hand, "Are you okay?"

"Ah...um..." Fujido Heisuke responded in a daze.

"I brought the medicine, do you want to use some first?" Ryunosuke said and gave the pressed medicine in his arms to others, "So you want to follow?"

Yamazaki, who had been silently watching the others, suddenly said, "I will follow."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the others and started to catch up directly.Those who stayed in place glanced at each other, suppressed their thoughts and followed.

Before leaving, Hirasuke suddenly said, "In other words... we're going to leave it behind..."

"..." Turning his head to look at the direction he came from, Hijikata sighed and said, "Yes..."

The way up the mountain was the same as that of Kazama and Qianzuru at the beginning, but because of the melting snow, the road conditions were much better, and the physical strength of other people was able to support it, so they came to the original Nue field in a short time. The village where they settled.

Nueno first looked at the status of the enchantment setting on the outskirts of the village, expressed his affirmation to Chizuru and Chikage, and then walked over lightly. After meeting with the village chief, he called for someone to handle the funeral for Michio Kazama.

The saber on Michio Kazama's body was taken off and handed over to Qianjing. It was a pair with Xuecun's waist saber, and it was one of the identification marks of the leaders of the ghost tribes in the east and west.

Several people rested, had dinner, and arranged beds for each other. They didn't say anything that day, and the exhaustion that came one after another quickly made them fall asleep.

Except for three people.

Nue Ye watched Hill, who became more energetic at night, helplessly followed him in the yard to drink the wine provided by the village chief, and couldn't help laughing when he saw that Hill couldn't bear it but insisted on trying.

"Don't try it, you can't even drink much wine." When he said this, Nueno switched the language into the language of Hill Country. Although it was a little rusty at first, it gradually became fluent after speaking a few sentences. "Lu didn't stop you?"

"He wouldn't do such a thing." Hill giggled, "But it's been a long time since I saw you like this. It was rare for me to see you once before. What happened? Don’t you just want to make those things? Why do you want to kill them all now? What about the people left behind?”

Nueno sighed, without any reservations, and briefly explained the matter.

"I see... But I think even the two "ghosts" are stunned... They don't know the truth, do they? You didn't tell?" Hill observed the changes in the expressions of several people very well, and easily Grasping their thoughts, "As for the others, you didn't tell them at all, did you?"

"Because I never thought there would be such a deep involvement." Nueno smiled wryly, "Everyone came to confess to me one by one... It's really very distressing."

"Since you can't let go...then either reject everything or accept everything." Hill pointed out mercilessly, "Half-choice choices won't help the matter, and judging from your personality, it will show that you will delay until this point. You've kind of relented, haven't you?"

"That's right..."

"What, drinking with me turned out to be a discussion with me, and you have nothing to ask me after we meet for a long time?" Hill pouted dissatisfiedly, "Or let me take a sip!"

"I'm afraid this won't work. Your method will always make the smell of blood linger in the air, which is too stimulating for them." Nue Ye shook his head, "Can't Lu satisfy you?"

"Ahh... I'm tired of drinking for hundreds of years, even if I don't want to!" Hill glared at his subordinate who stood silently behind, and took another sip, "Huh? It seems that the more you drink, the more you get used to it? "

Nue Ye blinked, and noticed that the other party's fair skin had already been dyed red, and couldn't help but smile, "Look at you, it's like this every time you're drunk, and you can't lie if you want to." After finishing speaking, he greeted Lu at the back said, "Take Hill to rest first, the long journey is exhausting... It's okay if you don't have to force yourself to get up tomorrow morning, I will wait for you in the evening."

"Yes, Master Blade."

The conscientious young man picked him up, looked at Nueno for a while, and then said, "Master is very happy to see Master Basara."

Nueno narrowed his eyes, "I am also very happy."

"My lord, please take care... As the master of the clan, we all hope that the friendship between the two of you will last forever." With a bowed head and a respectful salute, Lu disappeared into the night with Hill.

Nue Ye put his gaze under the moonlight, exhaled, and drank the whole jar cup by cup.

Tomorrow... let's make a conclusion.

The author has something to say:
