[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

Timing entered the new year again. Nue Ye swept the snow on the stone road of the dojo, looked up at the foggy sky, and inadvertently thought of Okita's lung disease, and thought of this year's harsher than usual winter. Live with a sigh.

In the past year, with Nueno's unremitting efforts every day, Okita finally managed to control his illness. Judging from the current symptoms, the illness does not seem to be getting worse, but the lung disease is still like an indeterminate explosive, lurking in the young man's body.

Nue Ye changed a few prescriptions for conditioning, and also referred to some Kiyotsugu's opinions, and finally made pills to maintain the lungs and suppress the disease, and it was more convenient for Okita to take them regularly and quantitatively.In this way, not only can it cover up the abnormality that Nue Ye must boil the medicine and give it to him every day, but Okita does not need to wait for Nue Ye to give him the medicine every day. After eating a certain amount, he will come to take it One dose is enough, and at the same time, the volume of the medicine is also reduced. The pills are not only one or two points lighter than the medicine soup.

Lifting the dark green cloth bag embroidered with patterns of the same color, Okita glanced at Nueno with a half-smile. He originally broke into the secret meeting place between Shannan and Nueno to give them a fright, but unexpectedly received This... the feelings in my heart are extremely complicated.

Nueno didn't pay attention to what the other party was thinking, but Shannan was a little surprised for a while, seeing that Nueno didn't overreact, he put away his emotions and smiled, "Okita, why are you here today? here?"

After Okita turned into a Rakshasa, Nueno is not unaware of the relationship between Okita and Shannan, who still meets frequently with him. There are also several discussions with Shannan after Okita left, so Nueno will be a little careful not to let Okita meet when he meets Shannan. Discovery, to avoid unnecessary increase in annoyance.

It's just that this time I really didn't expect that Director Okita would hide his voice and secretly open the paper door when the two of them were discussing in depth.

Nueno glanced at the other party and noticed that the other party was still looking at him, so he put down his teacup and said, "Since you're here, why don't you just sit down, it's not something shameful."

"If it's not something shameful, why did you hide in the middle of the night?" With a low snort, Okita put the cloth bag into his arms, and sat down following Nueno's words, "It turns out that you are cooperating with Mr. Shannan, really. did not expect."

"Even if it's not shameful..." Elongated the end of the sentence, and gave Shannan a meaningful look, Nueno continued, "It's not something worth being honest about."

"Yeah." Shannan noticed Nueno's words and smiled wryly, "It's like this, if I still tell the director and others that I'm working with Nueno to study Raksha... I don't know what will happen. "

Okita noticed the stiffness of Shannan's body, so he didn't pursue further, and changed the subject, "Then what are you guys talking about? If it's a topic related to Rakshasa, can I join in?"

Nue Ye looked at Shannan, with an attitude of letting the other party decide.

After Shannan found out, he just deepened the wry smile on his face, "If Okita doesn't mind, you can come and see it occasionally..."

"Thank you so much." Smiling towards Shannan, Okita glanced at Nueno who lowered his head and pretended to be ignorant, feeling his heart beating like a flickering candle.

Since then, as the third person, Okita often intervened in the two people who were talking enthusiastically under unexpected circumstances, and interrupted the discussion between the two to ask some questions from time to time. Focusing on the details and clarifying the matter more clearly, Nue Ye and Shan Nan let him follow along.

One more person who knows is an extra layer of protection in a certain way.

On this side, the research on Rakshasa is quietly unfolding, and on the other side, the factional disputes within the Shinsengumi have completely burned.

As time passed, the differences between Ito and Kondo deepened day by day. Hirasuke, who was caught between the two parties, began to feel pain. On the one hand, he was his long-time partner, and on the other hand, he was recruited from the same school, and each supported his own ideas. .

For this matter, Hirasuke has talked to Nueno in private more than once, but the recent fierce struggle has revealed a painful choice that makes him inevitably have to choose one side. In the foreseeable future, he can only take one of the paths.

This rigid confrontation finally erupted violently one day when Ito saw that Shannan, who had declared himself dead, was wandering around in the middle of the night and even talking with other people.

He already felt something was wrong!

Shinsengumi has too many secrets!nausea!hateful!It's really disgusting!

Things like Rakshasa are really disgusting!

The snobbery around him and the ignorance of things made him unable to restrain a sense of disgust welling up from the depths of his body. Thoughts that had already been premeditated welled up, and finally led to a result.

──Since Shinsengumi doesn’t agree with my philosophy, let’s leave!

So, he began to look for like-minded partners in private, planning to get out of the Shinsengumi and stand on his own.

Among them, Todo Heisuke and Saitoichi, who he was most optimistic about, became the targets of trying to win over.

Stepping on the path covered with fallen leaves, Hirasuke and Nueno held each other's hands and climbed up the mountain at a gentle pace.

Looking down from the side of the mountain, the quaint temple lies quietly in the hinterland of the hill. Because it is not the season of worship, there is no trace of people in the whole temple, and the scenery becomes more ethereal and distant.

Looking at the scenery that should make people feel refreshed and happy, Nueno noticed that Heisuke was still a little sad, unable to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Today is Uno Jianheisuke, whose expression has become more and more lonely in the past few days, and decided to take him out to relax when the other party has no tasks, and the two of them will appear here.

The mountain road is quiet and uninhabited. For a moment, there are only two figures standing side by side.

With a thought, Nueno touched Hirasuke's small earlobe, delicately felt the small fluff on it, and asked softly, "Why do you look unhappy?"

Hirasuke was aroused by Nueno's sudden movement, and hurriedly broke free, blushing and saying: "No, no..."

Lovers who are always well-behaved in normal times will always show intimacy unexpectedly.

"Really?" Lowering his voice, Nueno asked again.

"..." The bright red on his face slowly faded, Hirasuke frowned again, and remained silent.

Nueno knew what was going on in the opponent's head, so he pulled him into his arms helplessly, and said softly, "Speak out? Tell me, it will be better."

Without breaking free again, Hirasuke hugged Nueno's back, and after a while, he slowly said, "Ito came to look for me again yesterday, and the deputy chief and the others also believed that I... would follow Ito."

"Hmm... so you're lonely?" Nueno asked tentatively, tilting his head.

"No way!" Hirasuke raised his face angrily, and muttered, "I'm not lonely..."

"Really?" Raising his hand to poke the corner of Hirasuke's eye, Nueno said, "Don't you feel like crying?"

"No!"

"Then do you think you have done anything wrong to them?" After a pause, Nueno asked instead.

"of course not!"

"Then why are you feeling guilty?" Nueno smiled soothingly while rubbing Hirasuke's soft cheeks, "What is your purpose? What do you want to do? In order to achieve the desire in your heart, no matter what you do, Some people will always be hurt, why should you be sad if you didn't feel sorry for them?"

"You...you said it as if you already knew it!" He turned his head and wanted to get rid of Nueno's palm, but he was always caught again after a while. Hirasuke pouted again, and said fiercely: "Stop doing it! I Bite you!"

"Okay, okay." Laughing at the childish threat, Nueno closed his hands and rubbed the back of Heisuke's head, "The brows are finally relaxed."

"..." Being mentioned like this, Hirasuke suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he buried his face in Nueno's arms again, and inhaled the other person's scent lightly, "...I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize to me." Nueno said with a smile: "I just don't want to come out, but the people next to me always look dull, so I won't be interested."

"Anyway, thank you..." Hirasuke whispered as he unconsciously burrowed into Nueno's clothes.

"If you want to thank..." Nueno lifted Heisuke's head and smiled happily, "How about..."

So, seal it with a kiss.

The author has something to say:

I thought very hard about... the timing of the meat after that.

In the next chapter, do you want to give some minced meat to cheer you up?

There's a long story ahead... Anyway, it's hard to get into the meat... because it's a real drama...

Arrived again today. (cover face)

Happy birthday to Tiangong, and happy birthday to my sister. (← Although neither will be seen)

So when I wake up, I'll check the reaction again...

By the way, I mentioned a cute point in the last chapter, but I refrained from saying it, but it seemed that everyone's attention was attracted by Xiaoyi's wife. XD

When Nueno said "meow meow meow", I had all kinds of bad intentions! ! ! (go away)

I almost wanted Saito to reply, "Well, they were meowing at me."

Meow meow meow~~(→.→)
