[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

"Brother, are you here with the doctor again?" Facing the guest in front of him, the middle-aged man with a white beard smiled and greeted the guest.

"Ah." Nodding his head, Nueno looked at Lianmei beside him and asked her to explain.

"Uncle Rigi, these are the new things we want to buy this time." Taking out the note that Ayako-sister handed her in advance, Lianmei smiled softly, "I also want me to see if there are any new novelties this time. Toy."

"Ah, yes, yes... but the person next to you should have seen it." Glancing at the young man standing aside, Rigi waved to the guests with a cigarette in his mouth, "The thing here is also Only you know their value."

"Mr. Li Ji, don't say that, the things here are very good, don't some nobles come to order from you now?" Lianmei took off her shoes and gracefully stepped on the wooden board, while smiling.

"You'll only know it when you see it in your shop, right?" Rigi looked at Nueno with a contemptuous expression, and led the other two into the shop, "This time it's a big mirror. They brought it from a foreigner, a mirror as big as your body.” As they walked, the three of them came to a place covered with a big cloth, and after Riggy tore off the big cloth with all his strength, the contents inside were exposed to everyone’s eyes. in front of you.

"Wow──" Lianmei whispered in surprise, "This, this is really..." The figure on the opposite side was making exactly the same movements as her. Although it was not the first time she saw something like a mirror, Lianmei still It was the first time I saw such a large full-length mirror, and even the wrinkles at the corners of my clothes were clearly visible. "It's... so beautiful..."

"Hehe, Doctor Lianmei, you are indeed very beautiful!" She smiled and praised Lianmei, and unexpectedly received an angry look from the other party, and then Li Ji turned to Nueno, "Brother, how about this mirror?"

"...Uh, I don't know if you ask me..." Nueno looked at the delicately crafted mirror with a delicate gold rim, showing a bit of a headache expression, "Mr. The quality of things has always been very good, otherwise Xingxuan would not have ordered things from you for so long."

"Hmph, every time I do it like this!" Glaring at Nueno, Riji casually hung the cloth on the mirror just now, "There are not many things this time, because every one of those foreigners feels as if their butts are being burned. , I ran here without preparing anything and wanted to grab a good seat. Even this mirror was hard for me to get. As for other things... because they are in stock, they should be delivered in a few days."

"Thank you very much." Upon hearing this, Lianmei smiled and thanked him, "Master Li Ji is so reliable, which made us feel at ease. Thank you very much."

"Didn't your proprietress send you here just to talk sweeter and give me a discount?" With a smile on his face, Li Ji led everyone back to the store entrance, "This time the change is a little less, but it's still As always, cash is accepted.”

"Ah, there's no problem." Putting on a sweet smile, Lianmei leaned over slightly, bowed her head and put on her shoes after thanking her. "Master Riggy, we will come again if necessary in the future."

"No problem! It doesn't matter when you come, little girl!" After greeting with a smile, Li Ji turned his gaze to Nueno, "You boy, you have to send the girl back properly!"

"...Yes, thank you very much." With a wry smile, he still followed Nue Ye who thanked him and left with Lianmei's footsteps, "As for the situation, I will pay attention to it." After Yuluo said something vague, he said this sentence While speaking, Nueno's expression suddenly sank, as if he had changed.

Looking at Nue Ye who walked out of Rigi's business house, Lianmei showed slight doubts, "Master Blade?"

Immediately put on Wei Wei Run Yi, "Let's go back, Lian Mei."

"Yes." The slightly drooping pupils covered the wet feelings.

Walking on the way back to Xingxuan, Nueye turned his talkative attitude when he came back, although he was still by Lianmei's side, he looked thoughtful.

"What's the matter? Master Blade?" The doctor, who has already become an expert at observing words and expressions, looked at the slightly frowning brows of the other party and asked cautiously.

"Hmm...it's nothing." After pondering for a while, Nueno smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry."

"Speaking of which..." Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, Lianmei also cooperated to change the subject, "Master Blade has been living in the village of Shinsengumi recently, right? How is life going? I heard other sisters say, Xinsengumi There are a group of rare handsome men in the selection group, although a few of them can't drink too much, but to be honest, everyone is very funny, you just need to be careful when serving them."

"Ah, so you spread it like this?" Expressing surprise, Nueno slightly raised his tone, "Generally people always think they are scary, and they definitely don't want to take a look at them!"

"Hehe, because of the rumors about that handsome man, I also want to meet them." Covering her mouth and chuckling, Lianmei smiled, "But it's safer to ask Master Blade first."

"Although..." Nue Ye raised his head and said with some hesitation, "According to your aesthetic point of view, it should be regarded as... a very high-end product, right? To be honest, I don't know your point of view very well. "As the years passed by him got longer and longer, Nueno didn't think he cared much about his appearance anymore.

"High-end goods? Haha, master blade, why do you use this kind of adjective?" Lianmei looked down at the other party with a look of interest, "So, will master blade help us persuade elder sister Ayako? Elder sister Ayako No matter what, I don’t want to have anything to do with these dangerous people.”

"Ah... I can't do this..." With a wry smile, Nueno scratched his head, "Let the lady boss decide this kind of thing, after all, she is the lady boss. And she obviously loves you more."

"Then if we convince Ayako-san, will you come together?" Suddenly stopped, Lianmei stared at Nueno expectantly.

"If..." Silenced, Nueno replied with a smile: "I will try my best to go."

"Hehe, it's settled." Lifting the corner of her sleeve, Lianmei made a final decision without saying a word, "Speaking of which, we don't seem to have seen Master Blade's drinking capacity~~"

"Haha." With a few dry laughs, Nue ambitiously shifted his gaze around, but just happened to meet a familiar eye. "... Ryunosuke?" After a long while, he spoke in a daze.

"Huh?" After looking into that corner, Lianmei didn't see anything, "Who?"

"A person I know." Nue Ye looked suspiciously for a while, then shook his head, "Forget it, let's go back first, I'll ask him when I go back."

"It's not too late, Ayako-san should be in a hurry." Lianmei echoed, although she was very reluctant to spend time alone with Nueno, but she herself has a sense of responsibility for work... Although this sense of responsibility, Most of it comes from the return of Ayako's elder sister taking care of them like this.

"That's it, let's go back quickly." Speeding up the pace, the two walked together on the road in Kyoto where the sun was gradually setting.

After returning alone, Nueno put his hands in his sleeves, remembering Mr. Riji's words, he couldn't help frowning.

"Is this place going to be more chaotic again?" Thinking of the ambiguous attitude of the shogunate towards foreign businessmen at this time, Nueno became a little irritable, "If Japan could know its own weaknesses earlier, wouldn't it be okay?" Will it cause so many problems?"

Unfortunately, no one will ever give him an answer to this sentence.

Because, he himself is also guarding the ignorant side, guarding the tragic prescription that has been passed down for several years.

The author has something to say:

I won't get stuck on the part about plum refining, really.

This little girl's unrequited love is very interesting. She is not the kind of pure unrequited love, but the unrequited love with some tricks. ww

They said they wanted the Shinsengumi to come, but in fact the goal was Nueno~~ww

When some things at this stage are finished, we will welcome the next girl who is also very stealthy ~~ XDDD
