[Hakuouki Doujin] The Tide of Fallen Leaves

Ryunosuke, who hadn't had time to ask about Nueno's affairs that day, recalled as soon as he got angry, "By the way, Nueno, you haven't told me why you met Xingxuan's top doctor!"

"You haven't given up yet?" Ryunosuke looked at Ryunosuke with a little surprise, and noticed that another person beside him was also very interested. Ryunosuke said lightly: "Do you remember the two I took care of before?" Children, right? They are the children of the proprietress Xingxuan, because I have rented a house with the proprietress Xingxuan for a while, so it is only natural that we are familiar with each other."

"Are you familiar with Mrs. Xingxuan?" Hirasuke, who walked around in front of the two of them, repeated with a strange expression.

"Yeah, um..." After thinking for a while, Nueno spoke again, "I sometimes help out... Maybe it's because of this that I have the opportunity to know Lianmei?"

"Oh? Lianmei?" Sensing Nueno's intimacy with each other's address, Hirasuke raised his eyebrows, "You two have such a good relationship."

"That's what I called you too, Hirasuke." Nue slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his ambition softened, and he found himself smiling more and more recently. "Ryunosuke...I will call people I know by their first names directly." Because of this, that person will leave a clear mark in my heart.

Speaking of this, Nueno stared at Heisuke who stared at him, and was stunned for a while. Fortunately, Ryunosuke brought up other topics at this time, and the three of them chatted one after another until they came to the back of the unnamed dojo and started Work.

"Yamazaki, can you wait here?" Nueno said to the other party with a slight apology.

"It's okay, you can tell me if you need my help." Looking around the size of the backyard, Yamazaki stared into the other's eyes, "Did you do it yourself? Or did someone else do it for you?"

"In the beginning, I bought seeds and animals from others, because it was safer to raise them by myself." Nue Ye explained lightly, picked up the bucket and walked into the fence, "The two of them helped me a lot, so I Now we can go back in time to prepare lunch."

Looking at the back of the person in front of him, Yamazaki showed no expression on his calm face, just stared at this person for a while, then turned his head, leaned against the side of the room and waited quietly.

When carrying out the work of probing everyone's identity, there are indeed many people who are bored and hostile to him. Even if they don't hate him, they will think that it is unnecessary for him to do this kind of work. It is necessary...but there are still many voices of dissatisfaction, and Yamazaki is not unaware of this.

But just now, it was the first time he heard someone say that.

This kind of work is thankless, and the reason why I will take it is because it is a "necessary" job. If I can choose, I believe that Hijikata and Shannan will not want to do this kind of work──I feel like I have doubts about my partner However, for the long-term development of the Shinsengumi, and the work of the shogunate requires extremely high secrecy, if there are spies from other factions in the Shinsengumi, the consequences may not be as simple as leaking the secrets of the shogunate. Therefore, That's why it's "necessary".

Yamazaki chose to take this job not only because of his ability, but also because he realized the importance of this job. Because he was a newcomer, he was able to do this kind of work so carelessly. He will be implicated by the pressure of human relations. If the earthwork and the others investigate by themselves, they will definitely not be fair and objective. That's why he took the initiative to take this job and bear the dissatisfaction of others.

Originally, I made up my mind to swallow all the grievances silently, as my own effort for this organization, and I silently hoped that everyone would gradually understand the hard work of this kind of work. Originally...even I was convincing myself , Don’t expect too much from everyone’s understanding, because your job title is like that, so you have to endure the responsibility brought by your ability.Originally... I thought so.

But Nue Ye's seemingly inadvertent words penetrated heavily into the heart of this seemingly hard-as-iron man.

──It's just work, don't think it's easy to do this kind of thing.

The moment he sensed the other party's gaze, Yamazaki suddenly felt that he had been seen through.

It's not easy at all.

Every time in the dead of night, when I write today's report, I feel the eyes of those people are extremely stinging, but I still have to endure the pain of being isolated and continue to do this work.Because it is work.

But after hearing that sentence, Yamazaki felt saved.The tense heart seemed to be unshackled in an instant, just because of that person's understanding.

No one said it so bluntly, even if they understood, they just looked at themselves with concern, but didn't say much.

But this person is willing to persuade others for himself.

Thinking of this, some resolute eyes looked at the scenery under the sun, some soft.

Yamazaki felt...tonight, he should be able to continue writing with a more relaxed mood.

■

Late at night on a certain day, the superior officials of the shogunate in charge of Kyoto, the team leaders of the Shinsengumi, and several leading cadres all appeared in an empty house some distance from Mibuji Temple.

This empty house is rarely visited by people, but suddenly several people appeared at this time, which is really abnormal.

And the reason they gathered here was only because of that ulterior mission.

Sitting there quietly, Nueno, who appeared because of Serizawa's request, sat next to Hirasuke and Saito, but Ryunosuke did not follow.

Nueno glanced at the empty space in the middle of the empty house, and immediately withdrew his eyes, hiding himself behind several important officials and dignitaries, and looked at Tsunami Yukimura who felt impetuous around him from the corner of his eye.

Very rushed.

Facing the rising arrogance of the king-respecting faction, the shogunate must see results before they can feel at ease. They urged Yukimura Tsunamichi to show some of the results and convinced the shogunate that their investment is beneficial.For such a purpose, the people gathered now came here in the dead of night just to test the experimental results of Chang Ruo Shui.

In the lonely courtyard, lying on the open space were several soldiers who were seriously injured in the mission a while ago and are currently dragging their breath.

Use this kind of innocuous people to conduct experiments. If the experiment is successful, it can highlight the amazing effect of turning into water, and even the dying people can regain powerful abilities; if the experiment is not successful, they can also be blamed on those people. His physical fitness was already poor, so he couldn't bear this kind of high-intensity transformation.Even if other uninformed people asked about the whereabouts of these people later, they could justify that they died of serious injuries, suddenly died of a sudden illness overnight, and so on. Suspect.

Moreover, if the experiment fails with seriously injured team members, they will not be criticized by others, pointing out that they ignore innocent lives. If you speak fluently, you can argue that using these people is so that they can finally serve the shogunate again. Do your best, and so on. In short, these methods that even think about all kinds of retreats are really clever.

Nue Ye thought for a while, and suddenly noticed Serizawa hooking his hand at him from the corner of his eyes, he moved slowly and leaned over.

Serizawa's deliberately lowered voice sounded in his ears, "Help me look after other people, especially those brats."

"...Yes." Nueno agreed with an unclear look at Serizawa.

I don't know what kind of worst situation Serizawa presupposes, even those young people who may not be able to see it are included... Obviously a person who knows nothing about Bian Ruoshui, but he can imagine this step... …

Nueno, who retreated into the dark, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, what a pity... Such a person...

If it weren't for his physical condition getting worse, he would definitely choose a better way to leave his name in history, and he would use a better way to lead the team... It's a pity that even Hirama, who knows a little about his physical condition, can't Can't understand what this man is thinking right now.

Nue Ye can't do it either, probably the only one who understands what is going on in that man's mind now is Amei...

The irony is that he is obviously a person who is about to enter the end, but in the last period, he meets the woman he cares about...

Serizawa duck, how far are you going to contradict...?It was so much fun.
