[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

In the gap between the two of them looking at each other, Nue Ye turned a lot of words in his head, finally exhaled lightly, evoked a slight smile, and responded to the greeting.

"Okita, long time no see. I will replace Dr. Matsumoto for your routine physical examination."

"I don't want you, where is Dr. Matsumoto?"

"He went to check on the deputy director of Hijikata and Director Kondo."

"...Then I'll go over there."

After finishing speaking, Okita got up and left immediately, Nueno didn't stop him, but just said: "Okay."

When Okita realized something was wrong, he turned his head and found Nueno following behind him, he couldn't help frowning, and said in a bad tone, "Why are you following me?"

"Because you're going there for an inspection, shouldn't I follow?" Nueno met Okita's eyes and said calmly.

"...I'm going there to be examined by Dr. Matsumoto, so you don't have to come here!" He gave Nueno a hard look, and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, Nueno just paused, and finally said: "If you check with me, I will help you hide the things you don't want Kondo to know."

Okita's footsteps stopped abruptly, he quickly turned around and grabbed Nueno's collar, and asked hoarsely, "What do you know!?"

Nue Ye was held back by the other party, and his expression did not change, he just looked at the pair of emerald green eyes with blood red, "It depends on the results of the examination."

"Are you threatening me?" Gritting his teeth, Okita showed a fierce expression, staring straight at the man in front of him.

"It's not a threat, it's just a reminder." Nueno didn't look away, just stared at him like this, "Dr. Matsumoto told me a little about what he heard... That's why I said this, you should have thought Something to hide?"

"..." Slowly let go of the collar he was holding tightly in his hand, Okita took a step back, put away the fierce expression just now, and put on his usual light smile, "How do you want to check?"

"Just a few questions. About height and weight, there is no way to do it without equipment here... I will replenish the amount later. The more important thing now is—do you cough up blood?" Nueno asked, pointing to his throat, " You have to tell me about your physical condition before I can judge what the problem is."

"When will you see a doctor?" Okita did not forget to question Nueno's professionalism.

Hearing this question, Nueno laughed, "You should tell me first."

Therefore, Okita could only describe his situation with half-belief, and as Nueno continued to ask questions about the details, he slowly put away his puzzled expression, and gave the answer after thinking carefully.

After listening to all the answers, Nueno pondered for a while, and then replied to Okita, "Your current situation is only an early sign, and it is not serious. If it was Matsumoto, he would clearly advise you to leave here and find a countryside with good air. , Abandon all affairs, live without stress for a period of time, and take good care of your body. Once your body has rested, with appropriate treatment, you may recover your health.”

"Impossible!" Okita immediately denied, "I can't leave here!"

"Of course I know that. That's why I said 'if it's Matsumoto'." Nueno withdrew his gaze, with a look of annoyance on his face, and hesitated for a while before saying, "There are several methods I propose. You can listen to them. One is You can go abroad, maybe they have developed a method to treat tuberculosis, after all, depending on your situation, it seems that you don’t have to worry about the problem of infection... Maybe you can be cured and come back, but the probability is very low. The second is to switch to Chinese medicine therapy, taking Chinese medicine to treat the body, and at the same time find a quiet place to live, temporarily leave the things here... Although the possibility of recovery is not high, but it can be delayed for a while... However, these two proposals are both It’s based on the fact that you have to let Kondo and the others know that you’re sick, otherwise you can’t just leave the Shinsengumi, right?”

"...Speaking of such a long list, aren't you not sure whether you will recover?" Okita said sharply after listening to his words calmly.

"Yes." Nueno replied without hesitation, "In this era, tuberculosis is still an incurable disease for human beings." In other words, whether he survives or not depends entirely on personal luck.

"Then just don't treat him at all." Okita sat on the porch, with his feet crossed, and said softly.Between the words, it seems that he doesn't care about his physical condition at all.

"I can only say that with your current situation, there is still a way to survive. If you don't heal at all... don't you want to struggle at all?"

"Aren't I just struggling now?" Looking at the palms, Okita clasped them a few times, then released them again, "I-I'm just struggling right now?"

From the moment they set foot on this road with Kondo and the others, they have been struggling in waves of powerful attacks, trying to become real samurai, trying to survive.

And he was also struggling in this organization, and finally found his place of survival. For this reason, even if he faced Kondo's reluctant eyes, he was unwilling to put down the bloody knife in his hand.

Nueno stood aside, looked at the boy whose body was half exposed to the sun, and put away his expression.

"You don't want Kondo and the others to know that you're sick, do you?"

With a strong tone, Nueno asked.

"Of course. If I let them know, how can I continue to kill?" With a mocking smile, Okita gave Nueno a provocative look, "If possible, you are also on my list."

"...One last attempt, do you want to listen?"

"Oh? You still have it? I thought you were out of the game." Okita raised his eyebrows and said lightly at him.

"I have." Nueno lowered his eyes, "You take the medicine I prepared for you with Heisuke every morning, drink it to recuperate...you can do whatever you want at other times, just try to relax as much as possible, if anyone asks, just Say that your condition is not good and you need to take medicine every day, but you don’t need to tell them that you have tuberculosis, how about it? Of course, you can also hide it and let others know that you take medicine, so that you don’t need to explain. "

"I'll drag you down."

"Sounds good." Okita smiled, "but why should I believe that you want to do this for me?"

Nueno closed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to answer, Okita could only change the subject, "Since you are willing to help me, then so be it."

"Let's just say it first, I won't have any gratitude to you, and I will cut you down." Said, Okita resumed his blood-eating appearance, "If you stand opposite the Shinsengumi, I will still kill you. about you."

"...I will tell others that you have caught a cold recently and your body is a little weak." Leaving this sentence behind, Nueno turned and left without saying anything.

If he wants to kill Okita, it is a very simple matter, he has many opportunities.

And he didn't do it, which proved that he didn't intend to do anything to them.

So, Nueno didn't care what Okita said to Yukimura Chizuru who was hiding in the corner and overheard the second half, reported the test results to Matsumoto and the others, and told Matsumoto about Okita's real illness in private. Back to the dojo at night.

In fact, he still has a method that he didn't say.

As long as you drink Ruo water at this time, the condition will not continue to deteriorate.

It won't be good, but at least it won't continue to be bad.

But regardless of the stability of Ruo Shui, and the possibility that Okita can still maintain his sanity after the change, Nueno will never say this choice in terms of philosophy alone.

Because, he didn't want to raise his knife and kill him because of this.

Those Rakshasa... If there is really no way to change back to the original state, he will kill them.

no doubt.
