[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

"You bastard..." He spit out these words stiffly, Kazama's eyes turned red at this time, and he stared at Nueno as if he wanted to kill him.

Lowering his eyes, Nueno said, "Put her down."

"Why!" grinning fiercely, Chikage Kazama clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.

Nueno didn't continue the conversation with him, he put down the knife that was pressing on the opponent's throat, and took a step forward.

Seeing this, Kazama immediately slashed at Nue Ye with a knife, but Nue Ye took the opportunity to hit his wrist, which numb the tiger's mouth, the weapon fell to the ground with a clatter, and the opponent took another step forward.

Angrily turning his eyes from the knife on the ground to the man in front of him, Kazama narrowed his eyes angrily, fixed his pace, and refused to step back at all.

Nueno approached again, stretched out his hand that was not holding the knife, and grabbed Yukimura Chizuru's shoulder, and with a force, the girl fell from Kazama's shoulder, and then let out force in the direction, and turned Chizuru's hand gesture. into his arms.

On the way, he also lifted the girl's body slightly to buffer the force of being pulled down, so that the girl would not fall directly to the ground.

As a result, the posture of the three of them became that Yukimura was hugged by Nue Ye, and Nue Ye was standing face to face with Kazun no more than fifty centimeters apart.

The moment Chikage Yukimura was pulled down, Chikage Kazama's expression became even uglier.

But he didn't pick up the knife that fell on the ground.The dignity of the western pure blood ghost clan did not allow him to bend down in front of the enemy to pick up the knife he dropped.

"Neye Blade──" the blond ghost spit out the name through gritted teeth.The name of the person who humiliated him.

Unfortunately, Nueno seemed completely unaware of his hatred, lowered his head, stroked Qianzuru's soft hair, and made a soothing gesture, "Qianzuru, are you alright?"

"Hmm... um..." After recovering from the panic of being caught, Yukimura Chizuru was so frightened that she couldn't speak a complete sentence for a while.

"Then, there is one thing I want you to do." Nueno patted the girl on the shoulder, then turned the girl half a circle with a little force, facing the ghost, "Convey your thoughts to him well .”

"You can't keep escaping. If you have a decision, you have to speak it out and let others know." Like an elder, Nueno told Chizuru to look at Kazama Chikage, "When you have the opportunity, say come out."

"...Say, what..." Reluctantly met Chikage Kazema's gaze, the killing intent in it made Chizuru Yukimura's body shrink back, and she wanted to back off tremblingly, but was blocked by Nueno.

"Qianhe, didn't you tell Qianji just now?" Nueno guided, "Who do you want to be with?"

Being reminded by Nueno, Chizuru's head started to work, what did he say when he talked with Chihime?

──She wanted to stay.

"I, I want to be with the Shinsengumi! No matter what people outside say about them, even if I'm a ghost, even...even so...I still believe in them..."

With her hands clasped in front of her chest uneasily, the girl's small but clear voice echoed in the air. For the first time, Chizuru not only stood in front of Chikage Kazama in fear, but also expressed her wishes.

"I will never go with you!"

Nueno happily stroked Chizuru's hair as encouragement.

Chizuru firmly stated her thoughts again, and the eyes of everyone in the Shinsengumi who heard this were moved.

It's a pity that the expression on the Ghost Clan's side is not very good.

Chikage Kazama's face darkened several times again, Shiranui stood aside, but finally couldn't hold back, and teased Kazama: "Kazama, it looks like you've been dumped!"

With an angry smile, Kazama said coldly: "Since you don't know what to do..."

At this moment, Nueno bent down and picked up the knife that Kazama had fallen off, and threw it to the opponent, "Maybe that's the case, but as long as Chizuru is happy, the others are inferior. I still can't see through this point, I can only Said that you are too persistent in the place where you don’t know the so-called.”

"Don't go further and further down the narrow road of pure blood. Compared with pure blood, Qianzuru should have other characteristics that are more exciting to you? Otherwise, you would have started pursuing Qian Ji long ago, and her blood source is also very strong. Nue Ye smiled and put away the knife, letting Chizuru get behind him, "Open your eyes, there should be many people who interest you. Since you are a ghost, don't be bound by the ethics and morality of the world. , choose the direction of your heart!"

"That's all I said, I hope you can think about it."

"...Restraint...huh." Glaring at Nueno, Chikage Kazama didn't say much, and waved to the other two before disappearing into the night.

"Oh, it seems that I have listened to it." Smiling and sighing, Nueno noticed that Qianzuru was still grabbing the clothes on his back, and couldn't help but aroused a helpless expression: "Qianzuru, you Aren't you going back to Shinsengumi and the others? Why have you been hiding? Why don't you hurry over?"

"Ah um..." The nose responded softly, Chizuru looked up at the man in front of him, reluctantly let go of his fingers, and then ran to the already worried Shinsengumi to respond to everyone's concerns.

The girl smiled without haze, and healed her companions who were worried about whether she was injured or frightened, but secretly, she also took what Nueno said to Kazama into the bottom of her heart.

──The direction of the heart.

What a beautiful word that is.

Qianhe couldn't tell whether the throbbing in his heart was because of fright or excitement.

Nueye watched Qianhe go back, nodded to Shannan, and left without a signal.

He left behind him, apart from Hijikata Toshizo who was frowning and staring at his back, and Okita Souji who looked thoughtful.

Of course, the other members of the Shinsengumi who saw this had a lot of doubts in their hearts.

In the end...what kind of role did Nueno play in this matter?

As I got to know that guy longer and longer, more and more mysteries emerged around Nueno.

Keisuke Shannan discovered this phenomenon, and directed Rakshasa to go back to rest, but more thoughts flashed through his eyes under the lens.

Are you related to the ghost clan...?

The new year is coming to summer soon, and the bright sunshine is shining. No matter how rough the undercurrent outside is, the flower streets in Kyoto are still singing and singing every night, and there are an endless stream of visitors.

"Blade?" Hirasuke followed the other imperial mausoleum guards to the flower festival, and inadvertently saw a familiar figure shuttling through the crowd.

"What happened?" The companion next to him saw Hirasuke stop and asked instead.

"No, I just saw someone I know..." After thinking for a while, Hirasuke patted his partner on the shoulder: "Let me go over, you guys can play by yourself today, excuse me!"

"Huh? Oh?" ​​The man didn't have time to say anything, and Hirasuke disappeared into the crowd. "What are you doing..."

"Blade!" Hirasuke patted on Nueno's shoulder from behind, and looked forward, "Huh? This is it?"

The workers in front of them were moving huge pots of hydrangeas off the trolley and placing them next to the eaves.

Nueno funnyly pulled the person to his side and explained, "Prepare for the festival."

"Are you going to prepare for the festival?" Hirasuke suddenly realized, "By the way, the Gion Festival is coming soon, are you preparing for the Hydrangea Festival now?"

"I don't have a special need to participate in the hydrangea festival. It's just that the season is suitable. Sister Ayako sent some pots of flowers to be planted in the garden. I am here to supervise the work. After all, at this time, most people are busy." Nue Ye Let the workers bury the hydrangeas in the originally prepared place, and after confirming that everything is done, they take out their money bags and give the foreman enough money before letting them leave.

"The flowers are blooming so lushly!" Hirasuke squatted aside, looking at the hydrangea flowers clustered into balls, pink purple and pink in color, and there is also a white variety among them. "so beautiful!"

"Yes." Nueno stood aside, put his hands into his sleeves, and smiled faintly. "I don't know what color it will be tomorrow."

The two looked at the blooming flowers and enjoyed the moist air for a while, only then did Nueno see that Hirasuke made other moves.

Standing up, Hirasuke looked at Nueno, love and entanglement flashed in his big green eyes, and then was grabbed by Nueno.

"I said, no matter what you want to do, as long as you think it's right, follow your heart!" A gentle voice whispered in his ear, and Nueno kissed the tip of Hirasuke's ear, "I support you."

"I know." With a steady smile, Hirasuke turned his head, met the corner of Nueno's lips, and kissed him gently.
