[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

When he returned to the house that day, the moonlight had already dipped slightly, but when he saw the front hall still emitting light, Nueno couldn't help laughing, and a burning heat surged in his heart.

People who heard the sound came out one after another, seeing Yamazaki and Nueno holding hands undisguisedly, each showing complicated expressions, but they didn't say much.Nueno took the lead and said: "I'm sorry to make you worry, it's too late now, let's go back and rest first."

A few people agreed, let go of their relieved but more entangled hearts for some reason, and went back to their rooms to rest one by one.

Nueno also put down Yamazaki's hand and pushed him into the room.

He had already made up his mind on what to do.

When she got up the next day, Xiaoshan prepared breakfast for everyone. When Okita asked about Nueno, she smiled and said, "He is now researching potions with Kiyotsugu. The last step is left."

Everyone suddenly realized, and quickly reflected to themselves that they had fallen into the love of their children before, and completely forgot about the business.

"Neno wants me to tell you that it will take some time to make the antidote. If you have nothing to do during this time, you can go and see how the entire Restoration will change Japan, or take Hill to go sightseeing...but it doesn't matter if you stay here "Xiao Shan went on to say: "But those who want to go out had better come back before the end of the year."

Kazama frowned: "Why didn't he tell me about this kind of thing? Why is it at the end of the year?"

Xiaoshan shook her head: "I don't know, I'm just conveying."

"Miss Xiaoshan!" Okita suddenly called out, "So Nueno...basara won't come out again?"

"I will deliver meals regularly, is there anything I can tell him?" Xiaoshan nodded, but asked questions.

"I'm going to repair my knife, tell him for me." Okita smiled, "If he knows where there is a good craftsman in Edo, he can introduce it to me."

"About this point, I suggest you ask Mr. Riggy, he is more familiar with this aspect." Xiaoshan made another suggestion, "As for Nueno, I will help you talk about it."

"I'm going to buy painting supplies." Ryunosuke went on to say, "Please tell me about a good brush and ink shop, Mr. Riji."

"I'm going back to Kyoto." Kazama stood up unbearably, turned and left. "The Ghost Clan has a lot to deal with."

Then other people also successively stated that they had something to do and wanted to leave. Xiaoshan wrote down the things that everyone asked her to convey to Nue Ye, and finally said: "I know everything. Mr. Riji will come over tomorrow. Those who need it Then leave with him. That's right!" She looked at Qianzuru, "Miss Qianzuru, Nueno asked me to tell you that if you want to get married, you must tell him."

"Eh? Eh? Ah?!" Chizuru immediately cried out in embarrassment, blushing, and didn't know how to face other people for a while, and finally he could only lower his head and say in a voice as thin as a gnat : "I... I know..."

Seeing this scene, everyone smiled knowingly and added one item to the items they wanted to go out to buy.

My comrade-in-arms is going to marry Mei Jiao Niang, why can't I give my best wishes?

Although Nue Ye, a researcher who participated in the past, joined the research and development process, the antidote still took a lot of effort to produce.And Nue Ye turned to research another medicine for a little selfishness.

Knowing what Nueno wanted to create, Kiyotsugu sighed and stared at the man in front of him with dark circles around his eyes, "Do you know what you're doing?"

"I know."

"Although I won't say it...but you should be mentally prepared. If someone discovers this potion, there may be a dispute similar to that of Chang Ruo Shui, you know?"

"I know."

"Since you know, you still want to do it?"

"right."

"...Okay, you win."

In the end, the man scratched his hair and sat on the ground dejectedly. His skin looked pale after staying in the room for a long time for the experiment, but at this moment he looked even weaker.

Nueno smiled silently, "Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me." Qing Ji immediately interrupted, "I'm in exchange with you, not to mention you have been kind to me, I will do it no matter what, as long as you bear the consequences at your own risk."

"Besides... it's your own stuff."

In the days when they buried their heads in research every day, time passed by in a hurry. By the time Nuye and the others noticed that the temperature had changed again, it had already entered the early winter, the north wind began to gradually strengthen, and the day agreed with everyone was coming.

Nueno pulled Kiyosuke out to breathe, and asked about other people's recent situation. It was somewhat unexpected but not completely surprising. Everyone except Kazama came back. As for Kazama, it was only because Kyoto was far away. So it's not back yet.

When he knew, Nueno's heart was as warm as being held by someone.

It feels good to be waiting for someone.

After moving his body, he took the initiative to walk back into the room to continue the research he had just interrupted.

The desire to complete that potion is getting stronger and stronger.

When he officially left the customs, Nue Ye had a somewhat haggard look and couldn't hide his brilliance.

He first tidied himself from head to toe, even scratched his bangs and thought about it, and finally took the scissors and trimmed it lightly.

When it was trimmed to a suitable length, Nueno brushed off the remaining hair on his body and walked to the front hall.The people waiting there are also about to usher in the final decision.

Nue Ye and Qing Tsui put two rows of potions in front of them.

Without talking nonsense, Nue went straight to the point, "This is the antidote, drink it and you will turn back into a human... But your body will become weaker due to the two transformations, and you need to take good care of your body in the future." Then he Pointing his finger to the other side, "This is an improved medicine, drink it... you will become a real ghost, but it is said to be a ghost, but it will not turn into a ghost, but the life expectancy is longer than ordinary people, and the strength is stronger... And no longer be stimulated by the smell of blood."

"This is the choice I gave you." Nueno's expression was serious, "You can choose whatever you want... Only the chief, you must drink the antidote."

Okita asked with a look.

"Because I want to help you get rid of the lung disease. The bodies of ghosts are not very capable of using human medicine, which is too troublesome." Nue Ye simply explained, "I can't say for sure if you drink the medicine to improve your physique, so you can only choose to compare. way of insurance."

"Can he be cured?" Ryunosuke couldn't help asking.

"Yes." Nueno nodded earnestly, "Overseas already have a solution, even if it doesn't work...you can solve it by going to a place with clean air."

"Okay, I'll drink." Okita made a decision after a little thought.

Nueno secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the others one by one. "I won't interfere with what decisions you make. But I hope it can be done as soon as possible... At least I won't let Qingji take relief medicine anymore."

No matter what he chooses, he has no way to make a decision for them about the outcome after that.

After everyone had made their choices, Nueno directly poured out the remaining potions.

Then, he sent Qingji and Xiaoshan away.What he promised was to let Qing Ji learn more about pharmaceutical knowledge.

Standing in front of the room that was vacated after the two left, Nueno turned around, looked at Hirasuke who came behind him, and stretched out his hand towards him.

Hirasuke froze for a moment, then reached out his hand to grab the body temperature that he hadn't touched for a long time.

Nueno simply exerted strength, hugged the other person into his arms, felt the other person's stiff body slowly soften, and then said: "I'm sorry."

Hirasuke said nothing, but tightened his grip on Nueno.

Nueno grabbed Hirasuke's short hair with his hands, and brought his whole body closer, breathed in the breath of the other's hair, and said softly, "This is where I'm sorry to you, but I still have to say it."

"stay."

After a long silence, Hirasuke finally answered.

"……it is good."

"I also said, as long as you don't hide from me, I am willing to do anything."

The words that followed gradually melted into the close breath of the two, softening the strangeness and alienation that had arisen during this period of time with the extremely close distance.

The fallen leaves in late autumn are slowly falling again.Just like that time when the two traveled alone.

The author has something to say:
