[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

The gentle touch followed the contours of the cheeks, stroking them one by one.

Half-blinking his eyes, Hirasuke waited for Nueno to let go, then showed a slightly green smile.

"Return." Pointing to his own face, Nueno returned a bright smile.

Hirasuke was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to hold Nueno's head, and with the cooperation of the other party, he kissed him lightly.

The feeling of rubbing each other's skin is reassuring.

"Hirasuke, no matter what you want to do, as long as it feels right, I will support you."

After the gentle words fell, Hirasuke's hesitant heart seemed to have found a rope and was able to fix himself unconsciously.

The person in front of him always guides and protects him gently.

Buried himself in the opponent's arms, Hirasuke lowered his eyes.

But that's all...

Hirasuke indulged in the present moment with an exhilarating but obscure mood.

Like having each other...only each other...

After sending Hirasuke off, Nueno turned around and walked on the way to Rigi's shop.

Even if the scenery in Kyoto is peaceful, Nueno knows that this is just a temporary illusion. The various forces are wrestling outside, and even the shogunate is also wrestling for power within the shogunate. However, the top shogunate has ignored one thing. This organization, the current power is just empty talk... So although they felt threatened by the Fallen faction, they did not really unite to eradicate it.

Of course, in addition to various variables in Japan, foreign forces are also eyeing.In contrast, the factions within the Shinsengumi group are pitifully simple.

But now the emperor... Nueno smiled interestedly, and on the surface he kept silent, but in fact he allowed the shogunate to ruin their own reputation, secretly improved their rights, and secretly contacted many downfalls Send people and reformers to get in touch with the international situation... The tricks are quite high, and he really deserves to be the emperor of a country who stayed in that environment.

When it comes to the lineage of the current emperor, Nue Ye is not unfamiliar. You must know that there are often handsome people in the ghost clan. Once the appearance attracts attention, it is easy to get in touch with the powerful. , the easier it is to get the favor of high-ranking people. As time goes by, a certain family of ghosts uses this to lurk beside those in power for a long time, concealing their identities, and spreading their branches silently.

In this era, the successor of this line of ghost clan will fall on Qianji who found her that day.

It's a pity that because of the long-term marriage with humans, the bloodline of this line has become irreconcilable very early on. Even Qianji herself, her bloodline is not pure, so she is always ignored by other ghosts who insist on pure blood. Faintly isolated by other ghosts.

Nue Ye doesn't mind this, as long as they still agree that he belongs to the ghost clan, he will not reject them, and compared with other ghost clan bloodlines, Qianji's bloodline respects him the most and rarely needs it His mess.

Nue Ye himself took better care of them. Apart from the fact that they were more peaceful, they also had some connection with the past, so they were able to find him faster than other ghosts.

Acquiring Qingji's new research materials for a while, Nueno calculated the time, put on the newly made experimental product of the Rakshasa antidote, took advantage of the short moment when the moon was covered by dark clouds, and passed the wall lightly, falling into the sky. In Shannan's yard.

It's just that the breath of the man, who is always buried in the room to study, doesn't seem to fall into the room.

Nue wild had a bad premonition, so he let go of his perception and explored Shannan's whereabouts.

His eyes widened suddenly, he quickened his pace and rushed out of the courtyard.

Seeing Shannan's figure, Nueye immediately stopped, turned around, and retreated behind the tree trunk.

Shannan's tongue was sticking to Xuecun Qianhe's wound and licking, his faded hair gradually returned to its original color. After recovering, he let go of Xuecun's hand in astonishment, and looked at the corpse of Raksha beside him on the ground , looking at Shangxue Village's panicked expression, the memory slowly came back.

"This is... what's going on?" Shannan murmured.

This question not only revealed his confusion, but also the surprise of the Shinsengumi captains who came later.

What happened?Why is the scene like this?

Why can he recover after licking Xuecun's blood?Just drink human blood?Still only... Looking at the girl who was still in shock in front of him with a difficult expression, Shannan remembered a question Nue Ye had asked him before.

──Whose blood do you think smells the best?

Is it because of Yukimura being a woman?Or...is there something he doesn't know yet?Or, Nue Ye concealed it?

The brain that was once controlled by instinct was working quickly, and Shannan was thinking about all the problems, even Ito was not distracted by yelling at the side.

Nueno, who was hiding in the dark, let out a breath, and waited for the Shinsengumi to quiet down again in the middle of the night, then stepped out of the shadow of the tree trunk and walked back to Shannan's room.

As soon as he opened the door, Nueye received Shannan's eager gaze without any surprise. After closing the door and sitting down, he said, "I just saw it. What do you want to ask?"

"Xuecun..." Shannan thought for a while, and decided to change the question, "I just need to drink Xuecun's blood, can I recover?"

"Treating the symptoms, not the root cause." Nue Ye shook his head, "You can only recover after your instinct breaks through the shackles like this, but the effect will get worse and worse... It can't even make you return to a "human"... Besides, how do you make it Chizuru Yukimura has been providing you with blood for research?"

"However, there is finally a glimmer of light. Maybe studying Xuecun's blood can reduce the side effects of Rakshasa!" Shannan said impatiently.

"...If you have a way to convince them, I won't interfere with you." Nueno pondered for a while, and said, "This is the information I was going to bring over," he said, pulling out a stack of papers and A bottle of potion, "As usual, you can discuss with me if you have any problems."

"As for what happened today, I can only tell you that it's not as simple as you think... If it were so simple, I wouldn't be so cautious." Nueno got up and said before leaving, "You You should think about how to deal with the coming turmoil, Chief Shinsengumi."

Back at the dojo, Nueno rested for the night and got up to welcome a new day.

He stood by the door, waiting for Tianwu Jiushou to arrive as usual.

Even though Amegiri did see his face clearly that night, what Nueno admired was that Amegiri Jiushou did not interrupt his work as a teacher in the dojo because of this. Never slacked off at work.

Seeing that Nue Ye was clearly waiting for him, Amegiri froze in his steps, and then stepped forward pretending to be nonchalant.

"Amagi, do you have a way to contact Qianji?"

When passing by, Nueno asked in an ordinary tone.

Tianwu froze and turned around in a daze, "Master Qianji means...His Royal Highness?"

"Yes."

"...Master Nueno, what the hell are you..."

"That's not what we should say now." Nueno stopped the other party's question and narrowed his eyes, "If I give you a letter today, how long will it take for you to deliver it to Chihime?"

"...I can go around to the place where Lord Qianji's guard is before going back to my residence. It will take about a day for her to hand it over to me." Still with a complicated look on his face, Tianwu replied seriously.

"This letter is for you, and it will be delivered to Qianji as soon as possible." Nueno took out a piece of letter paper folded into a bell from his pocket, "The sooner the better."

"Yes." Respectfully received the letter, and after Tianwu put it away, he tentatively said again, "Then..."

Nue Ye knew that he probably hadn't given up yet, so he could only reply, "What did Qian Ji tell you?"

Tianwu thought for a while, and replied, "His Royal Highness can only say that you are a very important person, my lord."

"That's it." Nueno shrugged, turned and left, "It's almost time, the students are coming."

For the topic that ended like this, Tianwu was obviously stunned.

But...Since Her Highness the Princess didn't say it clearly, but only expressed it like this, she probably has some plans...

Thinking of this, Tianwu didn't ask any further questions.

The author has something to say:

I think the strategy and the plot are two different worlds...I'm not the last one to notice this, am I? T__T

It's still a night today, even if we played a little smoother, it's still...

After thinking about it, Nueno and Hirasuke were not allowed to continue.

I have to stick to it... Hehehe...

The same is true for the daily update, and it will be almost the same tomorrow, right? TAT

The message is so bleak, I really want to shit, thank those who persevere and encourage me, I will update it in the next five changes. (crying)

Thanks for collecting more than five hundred...

*Thank you for pointing out the error.The reason for the error is that I didn’t see the end after reading the beginning. Shannan first served as the deputy chief and then was promoted to the chief...haha.grateful!
