[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

And people related to Rakshasa can only bear such nothingness.

Packing his bags, Nueno followed the agreement and led Yamazaki towards Sendai.

Even if the Rakshasa army is eliminated, the battle situation of the Shogunate army in Ueno is still not optimistic. The passive situation of the defensive battle, the weakness of weapons and the morale of the soldiers make the Shogunate army appear in a state of twilight and retreat steadily.

Along the way, the two saw scenes of soldiers weary on their way.

There is not enough backup supplies, just retreating again and again, the tragic situation of the shogunate army came into view, and Yamazaki turned his head away, worried about the situation of the Shinsengumi.

Nueno stared at the road ahead, the horse trotted forward, avoiding the shogunate army pushing the wooden cart from time to time, but did not say a word about the situation.

He had already hinted at them.

The voice of the world trend has finally reached the point where it is deafening.

"Neye, we'll be here almost today." Looking at the sky, Yamazaki got out of the car curtain and reminded.

"I see." Nueno looked around as he slowed down the carriage.

The number of shogunate soldiers encountered recently has increased, and it seems that they are about to catch up with the progress of the large army, but Nueno still feels uneasy.

Obviously at that time, the Rakshasa of the first company had been dealt with, but even if they were close to the main force of the shogunate army, the smell of Rakshasa still did not dissipate.

It was too thick, and due to the haste on the road, Nue couldn't accurately estimate how many Rakshasa there were.

Yukimura Tsunamichi is probably...making Rakshasa on the road, right?Use the humans in the villages along the way, as well as some lone shogunate troops.He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to remove all obstacles in one fell swoop, and if possible, use this opportunity to get ahead in the new government army.

Nue Ye parked his car in front of a temple, and before the temple door was fully closed, he came to ask about the possibility of staying.

After the other party heard the intention, he kindly opened the gate of the temple to let the carriage enter the temple, and took the two of them to an empty room to rest.

"Most of the monks have fled. The abbot and I are the only ones living here, as well as the young man who lived here before. If you have any requests, please don't hesitate to tell me. The young man lives on the other side. , because his work and rest time is relatively late, please be careful not to disturb him, thank you very much." After saying the precautions, the monk folded his hands and bowed, then turned and left.

Nue Ye carried the burden and looked at the direction the monk was leaving, and narrowed his eyes.

In this temple, there is also a certain degree of Rakshasa faintly.

But it seems that there is only one, and it is likely to be the young man who borrowed here.

Being able to borrow it means that he still retains his sanity... Nue Ye thought for a while, but did not tell Yamazaki about this matter, and the two of them laid down the quilt and went to sleep directly after having some dinner.

Not long after getting into the quilt, Nueno confirmed that Yamazaki was already sound asleep, then quietly got up, put on his coat, grabbed the knife and stepped out of the room silently.

One step, two steps.

The closer he got to that room, the more familiar Nueno felt.

Walking around the corner, Nue Ye saw clearly the figure standing under the moonlight, and the guess in his heart was confirmed.

Although he didn't know whether the other party had noticed his presence, Nueno still called out, "Okita."

The young man slowly turned his head and blinked, "Neiye..."

"Why are you here?" Nueno walked a few steps closer, stood by the veranda, looked at the people in the courtyard, "Shouldn't you be acting with the Shinsengumi?"

"I..." opened his mouth to answer, but found himself speechless, so Okita lowered his eyes and closed his voice.

The contradiction between breaking with the earthwork and wanting to protect the Shinsengumi made him stop here, keeping a close distance with the Shinsengumi.

Seeing that the person in front of him was still unable to be frank, Nueno put on a helpless expression, "I probably guessed what happened. Then let me ask something else."

"Do you still have your pressed medicine?"

"Uh……"

"Forget it, I got it." Taking out a few bottles of potion from his arms, Nueno threw them together with the bag to Okita, "Yamazaki and I made an appointment to meet up with Harada and Chizuru in Sendai, and we just arrived today , go back first."

"that……"

"What's the matter?" Turning his head, Nueno looked at the young man who just called out to him.

"I……"

Under the moonlight, Okita's face looked cloudy and uncertain. After a while, he shook his head as if giving up, "It's okay."

"If it's okay, I'm going to rest." Nueno didn't seem to notice Okita's anomaly just now, turned around, waved his hand and left.

Looking at the man's back again, Okita was still fighting in his heart.

That emotion, even with the meeting again, tumbling again.

Looking down at the bag caught in his hand, Okita stared blankly for a while, then, like a ghost, brought the bag close to his mouth, and kissed it devoutly.

When Yamazaki woke up the next morning, Nueno was sitting by the door taking a nap holding the sword.

Yamazaki blinked, looked at the untouched quilt next to him, and couldn't help but ask, "Neiye, are you awake?"

Nueno withdrew his gaze and smiled slightly, "I'm sleeping, thank you for your concern."

"But……"

"I just woke up earlier." Nueno didn't say much on this topic, stood up, and said to Yamazaki, "I guess the shogunate army will still be wandering around here, so just stay here for a few days."

"What's going on?" Yamazaki looked puzzled. "Won't the promise with Harada and the others be late?"

Nue Ye shook his head, "I don't think so. After all, we were in a hurry a few days ago, and since Qianzuru is a girl, it shouldn't be so fast."

After a pause, he continued: "The number of Rakshasa needs to be cleared up," he said, with a meaningful smile, "The Shinsengumi...seems like a good bait."

Yamazaki looked at Nueno and was speechless, and after a while he said with embarrassment, "There's no need to be like this... right?"

"I didn't mean to say that." Noticing Yamazaki's face, Nueno laughed a little because of the other party's misunderstanding. He stretched out a finger and waved it to the side, and said the result of his one night observation: "In short, after you You know, after one night, the breath of Rakshasa began to gather, one gathered near Sendai, the number was relatively small, probably the original Rakshasa team of the Shinsengumi, and one passed by on the way here Needless to say, it should be Yukimura Tsunamichi's Rakshasa army, if you wait here for a few more days, you should be able to "hunt" a batch. That's why we have to wait here."

"Then..." Yamazaki's eyes froze, "I see, do I need to report this to Shinsengumi or others?"

"Probably not necessary." Nueno thought for a while, and replied: "According to their "straight line" attack direction, they will probably only pass the edge of this place. As long as the guarding position is selected properly, there is no need to worry."

"But this time..." Yamazaki thought of the look in Yukimura Tsunamichi's eyes when he left last time, "the other party should be wary, right?" Hearing this sentence, Nueno's expression became playful again: "Anyway, he They can't beat me."

On the night of the third day, Nueno found out about the move of the Shinsengumi to prepare for the overall migration. The two of them waited until it was dark that night, and immediately packed up their equipment and prepared at the ambush point they had already selected.

In order to take advantage of the Shinsengumi's unpreparedness to attack, Yukimura Tsunamichi should directly let Rakshasa go straight in that direction. After all, he can't precisely control those Rakshasa who have lost their sanity, so the order must be relatively simple.

Assuming the posture of preparing for the battle, Nueno had already drawn out his sword, looked at Okita who came here and found the two of them, and was stunned, and said coldly: "It's started."

So, Yamazaki once again covered the two of them from the high place behind, while Nue Ye and the Raksha-formed Souji Okita both rushed into the group of Rakshasa, dancing bloody dance.

The figures of the two staggered from time to time, cleverly and precisely avoiding each other, and even taking over the pace of the opponent's attack.

Yamazaki stared blankly.

He knew that he had promised Nue Ye and himself that he would never drink the water that changed.

But every time I see the picture of Nueno fighting the enemy side by side with other people, there will always be an impulse and resentment, thinking how good it would be if that person was me...

Biting his lower lip, Yamazaki calmed himself down and shot at Rakshasa who had broken through the line of defense.

Because he also knew very well that such an idea...will come to an end without a problem after all.

He... and they, all cared too much about that man's gaze.

The author has something to say:

The number of chapters now has exceeded my previous expectations by far too many.It was horrific.

The habit of procrastinating really can't be changed... (哉)
