[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

That night, Nueno explained his plan to Ryunosuke, and asked Ryunosuke if he would follow him.

Ryunosuke hesitated for a while before looking at Nueno and asking, "What about Serizawa-sama?"

Nueno had expected that he would ask this question, and smiled slightly, "He will move to a nearby residence, if you still want to see him, I can take you there."

"Bath, don't you... you're not worried about Serizawa-duck at all?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Because you look like an old god!" Ryunosuke raised his voice, his eyes were a little red. "You have always looked like this, which makes people wonder, what is the relationship between Serizawa and you! Also! You don't tell me about the Shinsengumi!!"

"Ryunosuke..." Head tilted slightly, Nueno asked, "Why do you ask that suddenly?"

Although Ryunosuke's eyes were on the man in front of him, scenes of being with Serizawa before flashed through his mind.Then, the conversation between Serizawa and Nueno that he had overheard filled his mind.

"Neye...do you know why I rescued the puppy?" Serizawa's deep but imposing voice came from the other side of the corridor.

Ryunosuke immediately hid aside with his breath held, listening secretly.After a while, Nueno's voice finally came: "I don't know."

"I saw him on the way to Beijing." Serizawa went on to say, "That kid, obviously struggling all over his body, was so weak that he lay on the ground and couldn't get up. At that time, I thought this kid was very interesting. Pick it up One look at his expression—that look of wanting to die but implying survival, let me save him."

"But I don't save people for no reason! So, I trampled the rice balls in front of him, and I saw an interesting reaction. He is the kind of person who hates samurai, but he is a good material to become a samurai. And there is also a very strong will to survive, so I took him to Kyoto and let him follow me, even though he always has a bad face, I still look forward to the day when he can pick up a knife with his own will."

"Speaking of... you still let him practice swords willingly..."

Having said that, Serizawa's voice stopped, and another voice sounded.

"Serizawa-sama... did you see something through him?"

"Maybe... I thought, maybe, this young man who will support the country in the future may be very similar to this country... Do you know? I witnessed it very early, when I was still in Tokyo. transformed the entire city.”

"They were afraid of the black ships of the foreign devils and their weapons. Then, the cowardly bastards began to flatter and cater to the group of foreigners, but in the face of us who still abide by Bushido, they began to look at us with disrespect and contempt. Looking at us, what he said in private is even more contemptuous, this is what I know."

"How can such a country... move forward? I have thought about it for a long time."

"Watching Ryunosuke grow up step by step, I always feel like looking at the miniature of this country, which is very worth looking forward to."

"Serizawa-sama, Ryunosuke, it should be your hope." There was no flaw in the assertive tone, "Your expression now is very similar to an old man I have seen before, who wants to pass on his position to the younger generation. Maybe you didn't notice it, but you always show such an expression when you talk about them. Every time I see it, I feel very envious." In the words, Ryunosuke couldn't hear it. Emotions.

"I don't have much retreat anymore...I'm old and sick...I don't expect them to show kindness at this time to comfort a guy like me who has one foot in the coffin. I only hope that they can continue to bear the burden. Bearing all the pressure, gritted your teeth and walked on, Nueno, you should know, right?"

"Master Serizawa..."

"So... Although it's a pity that I can't see the result, I still want to entrust Ryunosuke to you. He is probably the purest person left in it. Too much cruel reality, innocent, loyal, kind, such a puppy, please!"

"It's really rare to hear words of praise from you..." Nueno chuckled, "But I will abide by it."

"But if he finds out the truth one day, I won't stop him from doing what he wants to do."

"………………it is good."

"So……"

Ryunosuke didn't finish listening to the next conversation, so he could only be careful not to make any noise, and then ran away quickly.

Gritting his teeth, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable tears.

Because of Serizawa's unprecedented earnest tone, he discovered the tenderness of the other party.

Only in front of Nueno is he willing to relax a little, showing tenderness.

As soon as he escaped from the house, he ran as fast as he could into an open place in the suburbs.He yelled at the sparsely populated forest, then found a sturdy tree trunk, curled up and wept softly.

He is not a guy who doesn't want to repay his kindness, because he knows Serizawa's kindness to him, so he stayed, thinking that he had helped the other party, but he didn't expect that Serizawa had already paid so much for him when he didn't know it .

It's so annoying!Gritting his teeth, Ryunosuke thought angrily in his heart, it's so annoying! !

People like Serizawa──that's really annoying! !

"...Bai, are you trying to do something without telling me?" Looking at Nueno suspiciously, Ryunosuke asked this question based on his intuition.

Both of these men were talking about things in private, not to be heard by anyone.

Nueno laughed, "Why do you think so? It's just that Serizawa is afraid that no one will take care of you in the future, so please ask me to take care of you. You can make him think wrong about such a simple thing!"

"Blade..." Narrowing his eyes, Ryunosuke looked at the opponent's face, "What are you hiding from me?"

"... Ryunosuke, if I say, I won't tell you the truth, do you still want to ask?"

Opening his mouth, facing the man in front of him who was smiling so hard that no shadow could be seen, Ryunosuke let out the breath he was originally holding back, and grabbed his hair in frustration, his whole body was completely devoid of the momentum just now. "Why are you so direct..."

Nueno smiled lightly, he had known for a long time that Ryunosuke was like this.

"Then would you like to come with me?"

"... Will you tell me in the future?" Ryunosuke raised his eyes, showing a touch of expectation.

Nueno thought for a while, and finally said: "Well, I will explain to you after the incident."

"Okay!" Ryunosuke straightened up immediately, "Be sure to explain to me! If you don't explain to me, I will leave immediately!"

"That is to say, you are leaving with me?" Nueno raised his eyebrows, looking at the boy in front of him.

"That's right!!" Ryunosuke said firmly, "In order to get that explanation!" And...

"In that case, I'll take you to Yoshiwara tomorrow and say goodbye to them together!" After finishing speaking, Nueno clapped his hands together, "Go to bed early!"

"Wait, what did you just say!? Yoshihara!? Why are you going to Yoshihara?" Ryunosuke looked surprised and jumped up.

"Speaking of which, Ryunosuke, have you ever had meat? Wasn't there a girl named Xiaoling before?" Mentioning this, Nueno asked curiously.

"...Wow ─ ─ how do you know!?" Then, someone jumped in panic.

"Ah..." With a light laugh, Nue Ye laughed heartily. "Don't worry about this... Would you like to tell me about the progress and let me know?"

"You don't have to worry about this, really!" Ryunosuke said hastily as he pushed Nueno's face away.

"real?"

"Yeah!" A certain puppy nodded fiercely.

"Okay..." Nueno thought for a while, "Then I'll go for a walk first, you go to bed first!"

"Where are you going?" The puppy immediately tensed up.

"Dojo." After saying that, Nueno closed the paper door, and the reflection just disappeared on the door.

"..." Looking at the paper door without the slightest shadow after the person left, Ryunosuke bit his lower lip, and finally lay down on the quilt he had made, curled up and muttered to himself.

"Fortunately... he didn't continue to ask..."

The light red emotion slowly filled the whole heart.

For Xiaoling, my heart is only limited to liking.

But for Nueno, I already like it very much.

The author has something to say:

Explain the various issues here.

First of all, I would like to apologize that I have been missing for so long... all kinds of things after school...well, everyone knows. (dry laugh)

In addition, regarding the meat pies given to everyone during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I may not have explained clearly.

First, I forgot the time and took a long time to post it. Then, after I posted it, the chapter was locked the next day. (spread hands)

I didn't post the content, but the link was locked, which made me a little helpless.After the appeal, the late children can only look at my strange things and bewildered, I'm really sorry.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to find a foreign language blog that can be accessed in mainland China, and post something on it.

So, link here →

In the future, I may post the things that need to be supplemented one after another, and turn it into another blog. Although I will be lazy, this is the only way for now.All meat and meat dishes will be placed there, please automatically...

Also, thank you for your comments. ==a

With so many explanations, I suddenly don't know how to end it.

I spent nearly an hour and a half testing and dealing with website issues, and now I should be able to enter without a springboard.

Silently looking forward to the full English interface.
