[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

Slowly backing away, Nueno put one hand on the other's cheek, with a smile on his face, maintaining his expression silently.

Yamazaki's blurred eyes slowly regained clarity, and the red color that finally showed signs of receding surged up again. He looked at the person in front of him in embarrassment, and also did not say a word with a complicated expression.

The two stuck very close like this, exchanging breaths, but allowed the silence to spread between each other.

"I'm sorry." In the end, Nueno let go of his hand first, and took a big step back again, the meaning contained in that smile gradually became clear, "That's right", "That's it", it was decided to stop here and a little bit out of control everything.

──Obviously it can be stopped.

Thinking of Hirasuke and Ryunosuke uncontrollably in his mind, Nueno sighed very lightly, and turned to leave.

However, things didn't seem to go as smoothly as he thought.

Yamazaki took his hand.

Nue Ye slowly turned his head, his expression had been sorted out in just a few seconds, returning to the level where he was somewhat friendly at the beginning but not overstepping the rules.

Yamazaki's heart trembled, and his uneasy mood instantly enveloped his heart, causing him to speak hastily: "No! I didn't!"

Nue Ye replied, "Nothing?"

"I..." was asked in such a calm tone by the other party, and Yamazaki was a little angry again. "I……"

"If there is nothing else, we have to go back quickly." Nueno raised the corners of his mouth and broke away from Yamazaki's hand. "The sooner the antidote can be made, the better."

"What...!" Yamazaki widened his eyes in surprise, and was about to say something more, but Nueno didn't wait any longer, and walked straight towards the entrance.

At this moment, Yamazaki hated his own clumsiness.Because of this mouth, he couldn't even express his thoughts well.

He clenched his fists on the spot, unconsciously exerted force on his toes, and stepped heavily on the ground.

"I like you!!"

The roar resounded in the empty mountain, and the echo came out quickly, and the rumbling sound directly hit the ears of the two.

The two of them were stunned at the same time, Yamazaki didn't expect that his desperate roar would have such an effect, his face was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to drill down, but Nueno didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and began to think whether he would do it or not. What made the other party anxious?

He didn't realize that there were not many people who could adjust their emotions so quickly.

The boy on the other side was ashamed and angry, and when he raised his head, he found that the person he was confessing to was lost in thought. Seeing that the other person was not paying attention to him, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart, but he couldn't help but lift his feet, wanting to get closer to the other person.

That intoxicating kiss is probably the last memory.

Holding such pessimistic thoughts, Yamazaki approached the unresponsive Nueno, and the despair in his heart became heavier.

After thinking about it, Nueye couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, so he gave up and raised his head to continue the topic just now, "Ah, I have Ryunosuke... and Heisuke."

"I know." Standing three steps away from the man, Yamazaki Tsui said as calmly as possible.

"...Ah..." Although he was a little surprised by this answer, Nueno immediately thought that he hadn't deliberately concealed it. If he paid attention, he should still find out. "It was my fault just now, I shouldn't let myself go, so please don't worry about it."

"You're worth it, someone with your whole heart. It's better this way."

Yamazaki opened his eyes and looked at the other party, "Then why did you accept Ryunosuke...Heisuke?"

The pupils constricted instantly, and Nue's mind went blank for a moment, and then he smiled.

The arc is not big, but coupled with the expression on the whole face, it makes Yamazaki feel like he asked a bad question.

"what."

Nue Ye responded coldly, but did not answer the question.

"Let's go."

"Blade!" Suppressing all panic temporarily, Yamazaki pulled Nueno's hand down forcefully again. "What does it mean?!"

"Nothing interesting." Nueno maintained that arc on his face, "Let's go."

"Even if I say that, I won't give up." Yamazaki said with a firm expression, "You are not me, you don't know my inner thoughts, but I can tell you very clearly that I don't want to give up."

"Then what do you want?" Nueno asked quickly, the tearful and smiling face of the girl at that time flashed in her mind, as well as the words she had said to herself a long time ago. "Do you think I'll accept you if you stick to it?"

"That's not what I meant." Yamazaki stared straight into Nueno's eyes and suddenly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Why did I...?" Nueno frowned, "Why do you ask that?"

"Your..." Yamazaki pointed at Nueno in a daze, "Hair seems to be slowly turning gray... Is this ghost transformation?"

"...Ghost transformation?" Nueno was startled suddenly, he grabbed his hair in a panic to check, "This is..."

Many speculations flashed through Nue's mind, and the color became more serious. He took Yamazaki's hand and ran towards the entrance quickly and without hesitation.

"What, what?" Although Yamazaki followed this time, he did not forget to ask.

"There is a problem." Nueno said hurriedly, "Go out first, and we'll talk about the rest."

At that moment, Yamazaki immediately followed silently, but at the moment when he ran out of the forbidden area of ​​the ghost clan, he looked back like a ghost.

In the air, a figure that had never been seen before unexpectedly appeared, and that thing actually waved at Yamazaki!

What's more, he actually saw the image behind him through that figure!

ghost! ?soul! ?

Numerous guesses flashed through Yamazaki's head, but the coolness that surged made him immediately turn his head away and dare not think too much.

As for Nueno, who had the same feeling as him, he was pursing his lips, frowning and thinking deeply.

After the two walked out of the forbidden area, Nue Ye noticed something unusual.

A faint smell disappeared into the air after leaving the forbidden area.

Because it wasn't very strong, he didn't notice it when he first entered, but... since when did that smell appear in the forbidden area?

Obviously not before.

Thinking of this, he began to recall the scene of entering the forbidden area just now, trying to find out the abnormality.

The still fruitless situation made him feel a little discouraged. Could it be that his memory had deteriorated, so he couldn't detect the abnormality?The situation with Yamazaki just now is the same...

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized what he had just done, turned his eyes, just in time to see that he was still holding Yamazaki's hand, and hurriedly let go.

"sorry."

He said in a panic.

Yamazaki showed a sad look, "What are you sorry for?"

"Uh..." Nueno concluded.That's right, what exactly should I apologize for...

"The attitude towards you just now... I was a little affected, and the tone of my speech was not good, it was my fault." Nueno took a deep breath, straightened his expression and said: "But what I said is also my real thought , I think you deserve someone better."

"So you also think that even if I persist, you won't accept it?" Yamazaki asked him, biting his lower lip.

"This..." Nueno was speechless again.After a while, he said, "I don't know." Concealing the unnaturalness caused by the memory just now, he continued: "I... Heisuke and Ryunosuke know each other. If you accept you, it's not your wish. The question of whether they are willing or not is also a question of whether they are willing or not, and I cannot make decisions for them.”

"Even if I..." At this point, he lowered his eyes and said honestly, "Yamazaki, you are not the only one I'm interested in."

"...Then who else?" Yamazaki asked, steadying his voice.

He himself felt very strange, why was he not surprised at all when he heard the news?At most...just a little curiosity...no disgust or jealousy...but obviously I really care about him and like him very much, but abnormally don't feel heartache about it...

Nueno didn't expect Yamazaki to ask further, and showed an embarrassed smile, "This question...can you not ask?"

"Okay." Yamazaki was also straightforward, "But you have to answer me, do you like me?"

"..." Swallowing his saliva, Nueno finally said hoarsely, "Yes."

"I see." Yamazaki resumed his usual calm expression, "Then I will talk to Hirasuke and Ryunosuke."

"Huh?!"

"I said, I won't give up easily."

"what?"

Yamazaki's frank eyes met Kami Nueno's surprised expression, and he dropped the bomb again.

"If they agree, you must accept me."

Nue Ye found that he seemed to have reached a dead end without knowing it.

The author has something to say:
