[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

The two of Nueno walked day and night, heading towards Hakkoda Mountain in Aomori.

Nueno drove most of the time, and Yamazaki stayed in the car waiting for a replacement.Once the horse is tired, change horses on the spot if possible. If not, stop and rest for one to two hours before moving on.

Yamazaki also asked why he was in such a hurry.

Nueno was staring at the road ahead, and said without turning his head, "The Shinsengumi probably already discovered what a Rakshasa is... Next, they may start to confront Tsunami Yukimura head-on, if You don’t want your partner to die without leaving a corpse, so you have to hurry.”

After hearing this reason, Yamazaki didn't ask any more questions, but he felt vaguely in his heart that Nueno seemed to have something to say.

It was as if something inexplicable was chasing after him.

While Nueno and the others were on their way, changes occurred in Edo.

When the new government troops arrived, the people of Edo opened the city gates without any resistance, and Edo opened the city without blood. Looking at this scene, Harada couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

"Why are you here? Didn't you evacuate to the northeast with the Shinsengumi?"

A strange yet familiar voice suddenly appeared behind him, and Harada looked back with a surprised expression. "Shiranui? Why are you here? No, you're still alive? That's great!"

"Nonsense, how can I die so easily!" Shiranui cursed, and then his expression became serious: "The guys from the new government chose Tsunade to replace us... He colluded with the radicals of the new government and planned to fight in the future Zhengtu cultivates those Rakshasa, and Edo will be regarded as a breeding ground by them to produce more Rakshasa. In order to deal with the foreseeable enemies abroad, they need more and more powerful troops, what do you think?"

Harada's eyes widened in shock, and he said in disbelief: "Actually...you are making fun of people's lives! Rakshasa can become so strong by overdrawing the vitality of human beings! Such a monster!!"

"Hmph! Gambling the face of the ghost clan, I must stop that kind of behavior without the spirit of the ghost clan." Looking at the sky, Shiranui narrowed his eyes resentfully, "If someone hadn't told me about this, I would I won’t notice, Tsunade hides it too well, even many people in the ghost clan have been deceived by him, and they still don’t know the truth.”

Listening to Shiranui's words, Harada propped his chin and thought, "You said, someone told you?"

"That's right! A very strong companion said that." Shiranui nodded affirmatively.

"who is it?"

"I can't tell you this. He has specifically mentioned it, and his identity cannot be leaked everywhere."

"Can you trust me?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

The two stood on the corner of the street for a while, looking at each other silently, "Hey, I don't ask you to do anything, you just need to protect the female ghost of the Yukimura family, because Tsunamichi will definitely go find her."

"Ah, I know." Harada smiled wryly, "Maybe it's safer to let her stay in the army." Sure enough, he shouldn't have brought Qianzu out with him.

"Hmph, since a man wants to do it, he must do his best! Don't talk about being discouraged!" Shiranui patted Harada's shoulder fiercely, "Give me your life and protect the female ghost!"

"I understand." Harada quickly agreed, "I will definitely protect it!"

"If that's the case, do it for me!" Hitting Harada on the shoulder again, Shiranui turned and left. "If you meet again, let's have a drink!"

"it is good!"

Looking at Shiranui's handsome back, Harada didn't ignore the scars on the opponent's body, and smiled. Although it was bitter at first, he quickly restrained his negative emotions and turned into a confident smile.

"Okay, let's go back and find Chizuru."

Climbing up the mountain, as the altitude gets higher and higher, the surrounding vegetation and climate also change. I don’t know when the surrounding area will start to be covered with white, presenting a snow-capped scene. Looking at the crystal ice beads on the pine tip, Yamazaki La Pulled on the warm plug-in, covering the exhaled white gas.

Under such circumstances, Yamazaki once again discovered that Nueno was different from ordinary people.

Walking on this steep mountain road, I didn't feel breathless, I didn't feel cold when I walked to such a high mountain, and I didn't get lost when I walked in this wilderness, and my steps were steady.

All the heat preservation items are used on himself, and it is really surprising that Nue can achieve such a strong physical condition by letting the ghosts' abilities go out just a little bit.

The straw boots under his feet were deeply sunken in the snow, but Nueno, who was walking ahead, seemed to be walking on the snow, without any obstacles at all, and his steps were very shallow.This made Yamazaki feel a little annoyed, and began to wonder if it was because of himself that he slowed down the opponent's speed.

"It's almost there." A hand was suddenly stretched out from the vision that lowered its head to pay attention to the footsteps. Yamazaki raised his head quickly, and saw Nueno looking at him. "Give me your hand."

"Ah, good..." The hand wrapped in thick gloves was firmly held by someone, and with a force, Yamazaki felt that he had escaped from the snowdrift for a moment, and walked on the snow like Nueno. "This is?"

"A little spell." Nueno smiled nonchalantly. "Pure-blooded ghosts can do things, although most ghosts can't do it now."

After listening to Nueno's explanation, Yamazaki could only respond in a nasty manner.There was a feeling in his heart that he seemed to be asking questions that he shouldn't ask, which made him dare not continue to speak.

Sometimes, Nue Ye's eyes will become very old in an instant.At that moment, Yamazaki would feel that the distance between himself and the other party was pulled far away in an instant. To be honest, he didn't like that feeling very much.

Therefore, he will not continue to ask.

The two continued to walk in silence until Nueno stopped and let go of Yamazaki's hand.

"Here we are." After Nueno said this, he stretched out his hand and moved towards the icy rock wall in front of him. The ghost blood on his body was no longer suppressed, and all of it poured out.

The double horns that did not appear during the treatment of Nan Yunxun before also appeared. At this time, Nue Ye did not look like any kind of creature in this world. It was so beautiful that it seemed to be breathtaking, but at the same time However, the powerful aura overflowing from that person made people's blood boil, arousing endless fighting spirit and desire.

Under the two sudden breaths, Nue Ye's face showed no expression, like a Buddha statue in a temple that always looks down at people, cold and without desire, as if it is looking at you but at the same time looking at everything , like only caring about you but putting everything on the same level.

The appearance beyond the scope of human beings made Yamazaki's breath stagnate.

Feeling that Nue Ye seemed to be going away from him, he panicked and waved his hands in the air subconsciously, trying to grab something, and he was lucky enough to catch Nue Ye's clothes.

The man turned his head, and the yellow eyes, which seemed to be inorganic, followed him, revealing confusion.

Seeing such emotions broke Yamazaki's panic and fear.

"It's okay..." He suppressed all his body's clamoring desire to say something, and even took a step back to calm himself down.

"Really." Nueno didn't ask any more questions. The place where his fingers touched the ice wall had already started to shatter. After opening a hole big enough for a grown man to step in, he pressed his hand against the rock wall again and gently clasped it. The mechanism, coupled with the spell belonging to the priest of the ghost clan, finally opened this "door".

The inside of the mountain that Yamazaki saw was not the earth-colored cave he imagined. When he stepped in, he realized that there was a cave inside. The entrance seemed to separate the ice and snow outside from the spring-like seasons inside. He was in a similar basin. In the same place, the surrounding high mountains are covered with white snow, but there are green grass and even flowers blooming in the place where you step on it!

"This is...?" Yamazaki looked at Nueno in confusion.

"It was formed by geothermal heat." Nue Ye briefly explained the structure of this mountain, "This is the origin of the ghost race, and it should be regarded as a forbidden area now. The last medicinal material used to make water-changing medicine grows here .”

"But..." Yamazaki looked around, and a lot of doubts appeared in his heart again.

Nueno smiled lightly, and said indifferently: "Now there are no ghosts living here, and I just want to come back and give the medicine to the pharmacist to make an antidote." As for other things here, Nueno doesn't think so. It is necessary to tell the whole story.

The two then found the plant that only uses flowers as medicinal materials. The number is very small, less than [-]. It is said that there will be fewer left after it is made into medicine, so Yamazaki feels that he is trembling.

Wrapping the flowers carefully with a white cloth, Yamazaki looked at Nueno who put away the appearance of the ghost with a complicated expression, in exchange for the other party raised an eyebrow and asked, "Which one do you prefer?"

"Uh..." Yamazaki trembled slightly, as if he never expected to be asked this question. "that……"

Nueno leaned closer to the young man, and lightly evoked a funny smile.

Seeing the face getting closer, Yamazaki felt that the face of Nueno in front of him seemed to be constantly reflected in his mind with the picture just now, which made him at a loss and his head was in a mess.

Then, there was a soft touch on the lips.

The other party first pressed against it lightly, then stretched out his tongue to outline the corners of his lips, and finally reached into his slightly opened mouth, curling up the bewildered softness inside.

At that moment, Yamazaki was so moved that he wanted to cry.

He found that he had really fallen into a situation beyond redemption.

The author has something to say:

Kiss, kiss, kiss! !

Nue Ye is going to be even more scumbag... (beaten)

At the same time, my outline seems to be ruined, and now I am trying to pull it back. After all, it is almost finished and changing the outline is too exaggerated. I don’t want to be lazy. _(:3)∠)_

When I was writing this chapter, I had the urge to write something original, and, after posting, I was going to football hahaha.
