[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

Reported the strange behavior of Yukimura Tsunamichi to Serizawa for a while. Nue Ye would take time to monitor Yukimura in the past few nights. Yukimura Tsunamichi began to notice something strange.

Serizawa has been nesting in his and Mei's house for the past few days, living an ordinary life like ordinary people, as if he doesn't care about anything anymore.

Regarding Nueno's words, Serizawa just tapped on the floor with one finger. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Nueno. Otherwise, I can send more people to monitor him for the reason of strengthening the vigilance.”

"... Serizawa-sama, are you going to create a weakness? Let Kondo and the others kill you." After a moment of silence, Nueno still asked.

"Of course! Otherwise, what's the point of everything I've done so far?" Serizawa asked back loudly, his eyes were dull for a moment, and then he recovered and coughed fiercely. "Staying here is just trying to cover up people's eyes and ears! That kid Xin Jian was already out of control, and so were the others. If he hadn't been caught, how could he have died so easily? The fault was that they I don't know pearls!"

"I guess the worst-case scenario is that Tsunamichi Yukimura will run away!" Replying to the topic they were discussing, Serizawa raised the wine glass in his hand, taking advantage of the next cough to suppress his cough, "Unfortunately not I know whether I will run away before or after I die, and if it is after death... Nueno, take Ryunosuke away! Don't let him see too much about Rakshasa! Otherwise, Hijikata will never let him go! "

"...The puppy shouldn't have noticed anything unusual, right?"

"Although there is, but he is not that sensitive." Nueno said truthfully, "He asked me, but I didn't give him an answer. As for other people, they should not talk too much."

"..." Covering his mouth with one hand, Serizawa sat cross-legged with his legs crossed, elbows on his knees, looking at Nueno.A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of the covered mouth, "Others probably never thought that you would be so different in front of different people, right?"

"I just abide by the agreement with you." Nueno was startled, and said slowly. "Don't make fun of it."

"Hehe, that's it for today! I guess Kondo and the others will find a way to make a move in the next few days. You watch the time yourself, and bring Ryunosuke back to your previous dojo, don't mind other people." Serizawa didn't say anything again Say more, and put on the posture that the conversation will end here.

"Then I'll take my leave." Nueno stood up, and finally asked, "Sirizawa-sama, besides Ryunosuke, is there anything else you need to entrust?"

"...Maybe it's Mei?" Serizawa said, her usual flamboyant aura softened, "After I leave, she will ask you to take care of her."

Mei, who was waiting on the other side of the paper window, was slightly touched in her heart.

Nueno looked up at the sky, put his hands in his pockets, "I will pay attention."

This may be the last chance for two people to sit down and talk calmly.

As for what will happen after that, some can be predicted, while others are unknown.

When Nue Ye came back, he took a detour and ran to Xingxuan to meet the proprietress.

Yoshihara just started to light the lanterns, and the bustling flower street has not yet become lively. Looking at the sparse crowd downstairs, Nueno leaned against the railing on the second floor, waiting for Ayako who was about to open the shop to come up.

As soon as Ayako came up, she saw the picture of Nueno looking into the distance, she knelt down slowly, and asked softly in a mature voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's been a long time since I saw Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia." Nue Ye began with this sentence.

"What? Miss them?" Ayako raised her eyebrows funny, "I'm staying in the Shinsengumi during this time, of course you can't let you take care of the children! I've entrusted them to other aunts to take care of them. They're quite cute, really. I know how you spoil them!"

"...That's it..." Nueno looked at Ayako's obviously teasing face and smiled dryly, "Recently, the Shinsengumi only has those problems, I guess I will leave in a while... Hey, boss lady, How about I invite them here once? Lianmei also said that she is very interested in them."

"To entertain those ronin?" Ayako frowned slightly feeling uncomfortable.

"A few people who are more familiar... Cough, they are only at the captain level, and I'm not that generous!" deliberately misleading Ayako's thoughts into the more relaxed side, Nueno didn't mention the danger of those people, "I heard that The evaluation of a few people in Yoshiwara should be pretty good, no problem, right?"

"If you decide, so be it!" Shrugging, Ayako thought for a while, "Anyway, why not do the door-to-door business?"

"Thank you so much."

"But, Nueno, you're not just talking about this, are you?" Ayako glared at Nueno, and took it very smoothly.

"Yeah." Nueno changed his expression, "What's the current situation?"

"The coup d'état a while ago, the people from Changzhou, Satsuma, and Aizu domain caused a lot of chaos in Kyoto. The anti-barbarian faction is very dissatisfied. Didn’t the Shinsengumi also participate? It is said that they have made a lot of contributions!” Ayako briefly explained the situation in the past few days, “In short, now the capital is completely under the control of the shogunate. Scattered fragments of the Respecting the Emperor and Fighting Barbarians gathered together to secretly engage in coup d'etat activities, trying to overthrow the shogunate, and the shogunate did everything to catch those people, so now everyone has to be very careful in what they say, and if they don't pay attention It was overheard!"

"...I didn't participate in those battles, but I do know that they made a lot of contributions." Nueno thought for a while, "But it's no wonder Kondo and the others want to take advantage of this time to deal with Serizawa. If they don't deal with it quickly, they will leave a disaster behind. It’s not good, it should be easier to appease you if you go on in an atmosphere of panic.”

"My lord! You are still working under Serizawa at this time, so you are not afraid of being hacked together?"

"Ah, about this, the reason why I want to invite them is because I'm going to move out of Mibuji Temple." Nueno said with a smile, "I can't help it, Serizawa seems to have set me free~~"

"Are you going back to the dojo?"

"Well, by the way, lady boss, among the people who came to Kyoto recently, is there anyone who is particularly conspicuous?"

"An conspicuous person?" Ayako tilted her head and thought for a while, "What kind? A very generous guest?"

"...Well, a guest with a strange hair color." Nueno pointed to his hair, "Golden... or something like that. Or are there any new faces here in Yoshihara that haven't appeared before?"

"Golden ones? We haven't seen them here. If you're interested, I can ask you." Ayako shook her head. "If you're a stranger, there are quite a few of them because of the coup. You need to find them." Male or female?"

"...Men, but it seems a bit difficult." Nueno thought for a while, "Just help me pay attention, if there are any abnormal people during this period! Like the strange movements that are unusually frequent recently, how many Paying attention is also good for you, after all, the front is so victorious..."

"I'll pay attention, but in the world these days, everyone thinks the other is abnormal, so there's really no reliable news." Ayako said helplessly, and glanced at Nueno, "It's really messy... besides, people die every night. How do you live in the dark?"

"About this point, please be more considerate." Nueno smiled wryly, "By the way, I will bring them here the day after tomorrow. If they have a good girl in another store, please help me find out. It's okay to bring them here...Anyway. I guess I will only spend the money this time, so you can earn a lot of money from me!"

"Lianmei also said that you came here to get a discount!" Ayako rolled her eyes at Nueno, and said angrily, "Really! Such bad eyesight!"

"You dote on your young lady too? Don't you?" Seeing this, Nueno said jokingly.

"Got it, got it!" Waving her hand irritably, Ayako glanced at Nueno before leaving, "Take care of yourself."

"I will pay attention to this, thank you." Nueno smiled faintly, got up and left. "Reggie also asks you to help me pass the message, and ask him to help me pay more attention."

"I see."

The author has something to say:

This is the end of the manuscript deposit this time, the draft box has been sent, and I have no secrets.

It will be recoded next time!

So everyone, be sure to leave me a message! ! !

What happens when one chapter breaks ten! !I haven't even had a chapter with a comment breaking ten! Hundan! ! (run)

Broken ten──I will write the Saito meat I mentioned before, without the modern words! ! (← what)

Although the harmonious atmosphere here is very good, I can silently... you know. (far eye)

Here I am finally connected to the historical background. I have missed too many historical events unknowingly, which may cause confusion, but please don’t pay too much attention to it. History is just a foil here, and I am not writing a historical novel.

It won't be too far from Serizawa's death. After he dies, everyone can justifiably have a tryst... (Dark Fog)

Well, I'll try to finish it within five chapters.

(Why is the atmosphere in the manuscript box so...) (I don't know)
