[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

The cold weather continues, and the time sequence is gradually entering deep winter. Pedestrians on the street are hurrying to and fro, and it is necessary to add a few thick warm clothes on their bodies to prevent their bodies from catching cold in such days.

The leaves have almost fallen since the beginning of autumn. The dead branches in the outskirts stretched their branches to catch the sky, and a few residual maple trees hang on the ends. The chill is getting heavier. It is estimated that snowflakes will be seen in a few days. The cold protection function of the house, and the aristocratic family is starting to prepare for the New Year's celebration in the next year.

On such a bleak day, the girl finally got her wish and set foot on this land, ready to find her father.

Yukimura Chizuru was dressed in men's clothing, looked at the unfamiliar scenery in Kyoto, lightly clenched her fists, and told herself that she must find her father!

A few months ago, her father didn’t send any letters home, and she was very worried when she was left alone at home. She finally mustered up the courage to come, but found that she had no idea what her father was doing in Kyoto, so she had to ask one by one. , even though I was anxious, there was nothing I could do.

Such a girl who cared about her father wholeheartedly did not expect what fate she would encounter at all.

Seeing Serizawa disappearing in front of his eyes, Nueno just put away the knife lightly, even though he felt helpless in this situation, he didn't have the desire to explain.

He stepped into the room without hesitation, opened the paper door that separated the inner and outer rooms, and was not surprised to see flamboyant bright red flowers blooming under the woman's body.

No wonder no one in the group of Rakshasa ran that way... Lowering his eyes, Nueno slowly hugged the person out. Ryunosuke was shocked again when he saw this scene, and seemed to be puzzled, why treat him well? This is what Mei will look like inside.

"Ryunosuke, it's time to go." Nueno said softly.

"...What's going on?" Ryunosuke trembled, raised his eyes, and asked in confusion.

"That's why I brought you here." Nueno replied, even though the other Shinsengumi people came closer, "I promised Serizawa Kamo that I would kill him in the end."

"And Mei... probably decided to follow him..."

After hearing these words, Ryunosuke was stunned for a moment, and then rushed to Nueno, no matter he was still holding the lifeless plum in his arms, grabbed his collar, and asked loudly: "Why! Why did you do this? What!? He is clearly dying! Why did you kill him!! Do you know everything!? Do you still have a lot of things you haven’t told me!! Tell me! Nue Yeba!!”

"There are some things you don't need to know, so of course I don't need to tell you." Nueno replied in a calm but cold tone, "The transaction between me and Serizawa will not be affected by other reasons."

"You followed Serizawa! How could you say that!? You actually killed him with your own hands!!" Ryunosuke roared loudly, with a volume that even the rain could not conceal, "You want me to believe that this is a What did the samurai do?! Is this what you and Serizawa want me to see!?"

"I've never been a samurai." Nueno interrupted Ryunosuke's hysteria, and responded with an answer that surprised everyone present, "I'm just a man with a sword and use a sword as a weapon, but I've never been Claiming to be a samurai. If a samurai can be judged by these superficial methods, then it is obvious that you have no idea what a samurai is.”

"you,……"

"So Nuenoba, do you think you can just leave like this?"

Ryunosuke was speechless by these words, and Hijikata directly grabbed the words and reprimanded the person in front of him.

"Those who saw this scene, do you think I will let you leave so easily!?"

"..." Seeing the other party's face was silent for a while, Nueno still called him in an unfamiliar way: "Hijikata, isn't this what you want?"

Hijikata's face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "What do you mean!?"

"I'm just advising you, especially Mr. Shannan." Nueno shifted his gaze from the soil to the face of the man standing behind, "Raksha is not a good thing, nor is it something that can be easily controlled."

"Also, are you really sure how many times you have experimented?" Leaving this sentence lightly, Nueno directly took Mei's body and left through everyone. "How many of them appeared today, it's best to count the number at the scene."

According to Nueno's observation, the Shinsengumi definitely doesn't have so many "dead people" to experiment with, and the rest may be—Yukimura Tsunamichi did the experiment in private, and let the experimental Rakshasa mix into the Shinsengumi, Deception.

To think that this way would prevent people from discovering the abnormality... How naive!

Nueno thought in his heart.

Ryunosuke saw Nueno leave, thought for a while, and hurried after him.

He had to ask clearly, even though Nueno might not tell him everything, he still wanted to know.Moreover, he also understood that if he continued to stay at the scene, he would never be able to leave.

Those "Rakshasas" that Nue Nokou talked about are probably one of the darkest secrets of the Shinsengumi.

After Nueno disposes of Ume's body, he puts Ume's ashes together with the iron fan that Serizawa usually wears, and buries them in the ground.

On the erected tombstone, the names of the two people are engraved. In the name of husband and wife, Nue Ye used another way to describe the relationship between the two people.

How many Serizawa sects survived that day, and how many died, is not in the scope of Nueno's concern.Even after that, the Shinsengumi ushered in the first purge, and established a situation where the Kondo faction was in charge of all affairs.

Ryunosuke, who came to an unknown place with Nueno, looked around, and after bowing, he asked, "Where is this?"

"The back mountain." Nueno said flatly, "This mountain is still within the scope of the dojo."

"I didn't expect it to be so big... But... Baba, do you still have something to say?" Even though it had been a while, Ryunosuke still felt that he needed to ask.

"You want to avenge Serizawa?"

"No..." And who do you seek revenge for?Looking for you?Ryunosuke shook his head.

"Then you don't need to know." Nueno clasped his hands together, lowered his head and half-kneeled in front of the tombstone, said a little coldly. "As long as you know, this is what Serizawa and I want to see."

"Why don't you let me know anything?" Looking at the man in front of him, Ryunosuke felt sour, "You know I'm not a child, but you still treat me like a child!"

"It's not that I treat you like a child, it's just that I don't know that it's safer for you." Nueno rarely explained further, "It's because we treat you like an adult that we let you choose the path you want to take."

"Serizawa Kamo died for his own righteousness. Although he did not meet the ideals of a samurai, he died willingly. I hope you know this and...believe in the decision he made."

Long Zhisuke stared at Nueno who stood up and faced him, and after a while, he choked out a sentence: "He will become like that... Is it because of me?"

"no."

Knowing what the two parties were discussing, Nue Ye immediately vetoed it. "He is the one who is willing to drink the medicine..."

Stretching out his hand to caress the other's unknowingly teary cheek, Nueno softened his tone, "To him, you are also very important."

Reaching out to pull Ryunosuke into his arms, Nueye stroked his head once and for all, letting Ryunosuke clenched his clothes tightly, his shoulders trembling.

He knew that he still owed many people a lot of explanations.

However, not everything is suitable for telling.

Facing them, he could only feel guilty.

The author has something to say:

The hostess said: I just came out to make soy sauce.

The author said: I need time to arrange (Serizawa's) funeral.

So, I don't know when I will finish writing this year... TAT

Please leave a message to let Master Qianhe go! ! (?)

From here, history sucks.
