[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

Harada looked at the situation and slowed down his attack, "You don't seem to be with him!"

"Nonsense!" Shiranui roared angrily, "Who wants to be with that bastard! I will never admit it!"

"You didn't know before?" Harada raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.

Red flames ignited in Shiranui's eyes, "I was just following Kazama before, hmph, that's how it is... It's really unpleasant, you didn't tell me anything, just to use me? It turns out that Kazama's family is just That's all."

"Oh? It seems that you know something?" Harada raised his lips, "Why, do you want to cooperate? Anyway, our purpose is to make this group of Rakshasa unhappy, do you want to get rid of this group of Rakshasa together?"

"Hmph! Just what I want!" Shiranui grinned, and immediately turned the gun to Rakshasa, "Taste my bullet──! These fakes!!"

good chance!Harada retreated to the rear at this time, letting Kondo and Yukimura try to escape with the army. "Now! Shinpachi and I will attract their attention! Chizuru, take Chief Kondo first!"

"But!" Chizuru looked at him worriedly, "Mr. Zuanosuke..."

"No problem." Looking at his beloved woman, Harada showed a gentle smile, "I assure you, I will return safely and catch up with you, don't worry."

On the other side, Nueno and Yamazaki bid farewell to the village and continued on the road.It didn't take long for Nueno to feel that the battle ahead seemed to have come to an end, and when he was about to bypass the retreating army with Yamazaki and the other two, he noticed the presence of a large number of Rakshasa's actions.

He immediately turned his head and said solemnly to Yamazaki, "Raksha is on his way, hurry up."

Yamazaki, who was sitting in the carriage, immediately sat upright when he heard this, "No problem."

The two prepared in a tacit understanding, Nue Ye accelerated the speed of the horse, and the route almost passed the group of new government troops that had just retreated, and headed directly towards the Rakshasa army—strictly speaking, it was the direction of the Shinsengumi's retreat. go.

When they got there, Nue Ye saw the situation clearly, rushed out immediately, jumped down the slope, and shot straight at Shiranui who was about to ignite gunpowder to destroy Rakshasa. Yamazaki also jumped out of the carriage, took the rope, Stay in the carriage.

At the critical moment, Nueye pulled the fire lead in Shiranui's hand, brought the person out of the pile of rakshasas, then skillfully threw the lead wire back on the gunpowder, then pushed away all the rakshasas that hindered him, and retreated to a position where he would not be affected .

After the explosion, in front of Shiranui who had already been scarred from the battle with Rakshasa just now, Nueno inspected his wound with his eyes, ignored the opponent's sluggishness, and threw a pack of wound medicine into his arms, turned around, and pulled out the wound. Dao returned to the group of Rakshasa again, ready to wipe out the remaining Rakshasa in one fell swoop.

Affected by the explosion, there are not many remaining Rakshasa. Although they are scattered widely, they will follow the order to pursue the Shinsengumi. Therefore, Nueno is not very worried about the problem of Rakshasa escaping. , the movement is neat and straight to cut, there is no extra nonsense, and the movement is so simple that it is dizzying.

Shiranui propped up his seriously injured body and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared in surprise, not noticing the approach of another person.

"Are you all right?" Yamazaki stopped the carriage and got out of the carriage to ask.

Shiranui suddenly turned around and saw a woman asking himself, although the voice was a little strange, but he didn't have time to notice it, he was stunned for a moment before answering: "...it's okay..."

Yamazaki took a closer look and couldn't help but say, "It's all right even though it's hurt like this, hurry up and bandage it up!"

"Uh!?" Shiranui hurriedly distanced herself and said awkwardly, "Well... I can do it myself! No! No need for you!"

"What are you talking about?" Yamazaki frowned and looked at Shiranui, "Let me help you, don't be brave if you are injured!"

"No no no no no need!" Shiranui replied resolutely. If you look carefully, you can still see the red color of the other party's neck. "It's okay, I'll do it myself!"

"...You don't have a bandage, how can you bandage it?" Yamazaki asked helplessly.

"It's okay, it's okay! I'll do it myself, it's okay!" Shiranui still insisted.

When Nueno came back after dealing with those rakshasas, he saw only two people standing there who were still in a stalemate. It was a little funny, and he couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth to help them out: "Yamazaki, you are wearing women's clothes now; Shiranui , you go back to the carriage with him to rest and bandage up, I'll go check again, the breath in the direction of retreat is wrong."

"Huh?" Shiranui looked over in surprise, but only saw Nueno's back.Just now that... what do you mean?

Yamazaki was easily understood, and he felt helpless again, so he could only say: "I am Yamazaki from the Shinsengumi, you have never met me before... I am a man." At the end, I did not forget to add a sentence.

"Ah? You're a man!?" Shiranui almost exploded, "Then why are you wearing women's clothing? Are you playing with me?!"

"...No, it's just a good thing to have an extra layer of protection..." Yamazaki didn't expect that he had already spoken, but the other party still didn't notice it at all, "If possible, let's go back to the carriage to bandage."

Seeing that the other party was not a woman, Shiranui was still a little uneasy, but with the support of the other party, he got into the carriage to treat the wound.

Nueno followed in Shinsengumi's footsteps, unknowingly missed Harada, and headed in the direction of Chizuru and Kondo.

I don't know how the two of them chose the route, but they were far away from the retreating troops, which gave Nan Yunxun, who was ambushing with them, a chance to take advantage of it.

After Nanyun vented his resentment towards Chizuru, Kazama accidentally stabbed him with a knife from behind, piercing his entire body.

Chizuru Yukimura, Isamu Kondo, and Souji Okita who arrived later were all stunned by the sudden accident.

As soon as Nue Ye arrived, he saw this scene.

Kazama's knife was slowly withdrawn from Nan Yunxun's body, and he said coldly: "I forgot the pride of the ghost...the sin of trampling on the name of Xuecun is unforgivable."

Pupils constricted at that moment, Nue Ye jumped out of the woods, caught Nagumo Kaoru's body before he fell to the ground, held him in his arms, and stared at Kazama with his eyes, in a flat and emotionless way.

His appearance once again took everyone's breath away, and Nue Ye just looked at Kazama for a while, and finally hugged Nan Yunxun, and ran back to the way he came from without looking back.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Qianhe, and he didn't even notice Okita's burning eyes when he saw him.

Kazama, who was facing Okita, saw it very clearly. He squinted his eyes and turned his gaze to the disappearing figure of Nueno, feeling a strange unhappiness in his heart.

The people present were speechless at last, and Kondo finally broke the silence. He stepped forward to support the sick Okita, and took him and Chizuru away.Kazama, on the other hand, abnormally didn't say anything to keep Chizuru behind, put the knife into its sheath, then turned and left.

Even though they were thinking from the bottom of their hearts... Why on earth did Nue take Kaoru Nagumo away?

Nue Ye hugged Kaoru Nagumo, who was fatally injured, and ran all the way in a way that would not bump him. Even if he maintained his speed and posture, he didn't feel tired at all. He didn't let Kaoru Nagumo down until he returned to the carriage. , against the surprised eyes of Yamazaki and Shiranui, he called Yamazaki to bring one of the cloth bags in the carriage.

Nue Ye first pulled off Kaoru Nagumo's coat, checked the injury, and after confirming the situation, he took the cloth bag that Yamazaki brought, and spread it out neatly. There were more than a dozen sets of healing tools of different sizes inside, and picked up the thin hook After the needle and thread are sterilized with spirits, the sewing work begins.

He hadn't done this kind of thing for a long time, and his skills were quite rusty. Fortunately, his subordinates were boys, so he didn't need to worry about leaving scars.

The thin white thread slowly passed through Kaoru Nagumo's flesh. Kaoru Nagumo, who had already fainted from the pain and blood loss, hummed softly, but did not respond other than that.

When the front wound was sutured, Nueno changed the side again, and sewed it up again with a much faster technique than before.

Next... Nue Ye thought about it, and he knew that he had basically done this kind of treatment, which was enough for the body functions of the ghost race. The internal injury only needs to wait for the body to recover automatically, and medicine can be applied on the outside, but for the sake of To be on the safe side, Nueno still reminded Yamazaki after wiping the blood, "Help me pay attention to my surroundings."

"Okay!" Yamazaki immediately jumped out of the carriage, paying attention to his surroundings.

Nueno ignored Shiranui's hesitancy to speak, and with the ignited light from his fingers, the color of his eyes became cloudy again, and began to turn red. In addition, his hair was also covered with a layer of frost. From the roots, it turned silvery white, and the hair tail that was originally only above the waist gradually lengthened, hanging down to the ankles.

Seeing this change, Shiranui was so surprised that he couldn't be more surprised. He was sure that this was a state that belonged exclusively to the ghost clan. What made him unbelievable was that he had never seen a ghost with such powerful power that could Such a perfect cover-up of the aura belonging to the ghost clan, even... in the state where the ghost horns have not yet appeared, there is such an astonishing flow of energy.

It never occurred to him at all that the guy in front of him who appeared again and again to smash the place in the wind turned out to be a ghost clan! !
