Nogizaka Chronicle

"Asuka, why are you so lethargic today?" asked Asuka's friend, Hiyaka.

"It's nothing, my brother is back today."

"Your brother is back? Isn't that a good thing? You probably haven't seen each other very soon. I remember it was five years ago. At that time, Asuka, you were still crying~"

"do not talk."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Hashimoto-kun is injured."

"Hashimoto-kun? That Hashimoto-kun?"

"Ah."

"Hashimoto-kun was injured? Could it be related to Master Ikuta's family?"

"Hi Yaxiang, you also know?"

"Earlier in the morning, everyone knew that the lady of Master Ikuta's family was kidnapped. Hashimoto-kun is Miss Ikuta's fiancé, so his injury must be related to Master Ikuta's family."

"You also know that they have an engagement?"

Hi Yaxiang quickly covered her mouth, then looked at Asuka apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Asuka sighed, "I know, you don't want to make me sad, thank you."

"Asuka, Hiyaxiang, you are indeed here!" Xiao Shi walked over with Mana with several strings of dumplings.

"Miss, Manatsu."

"Try this dumpling quickly, it tastes very good!" Xiao Shi said.

"Thank you."

"What's the matter? Asuka doesn't look very happy, tell my sister quickly, she makes you happy!" Xiao Shi said.

"Hashimoto-kun was injured, and Asuka knew that Hashimoto-kun was engaged~" Hinaka explained.

"Eh? Tooth loss~" Xiao Shi covered his mouth and said.

"Hashimoto-kun was injured? Is it because of Ikuta-san's house?" Manatsu asked.

"Yes."

"This is really difficult~ Asuka should want to help Hashimoto-kun, right?" Manatsu said.

Asuka hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Although Hashimoto-kun has a marriage contract, I don't want to stand idly by. My brother said that the other party is very powerful, and neither my brother nor Hashimoto-kun can beat them."

"is it?"

"Brother Feiniao is back too?" Xiao Shi asked in surprise.

"Ah."

"What should we do? Do we need to find a powerful swordsman?" Manatsu asked suddenly.

"It would be nice if there was a strong swordsman."

"I know!" Xiao Shi exclaimed.

"What?" Asuka and Hiyaxiang looked at Xiaoshi suspiciously.

Xiao Shi and Mana Xia smiled at each other and said, "We do know one, but we just don't know if he is willing to help."

"Who?"

"Wakazuki-kun."

"Wakazuki-kun? Him?" Asuka and Hinaka had heard this name before, but they only knew that this person would often go to a dancer named Nanase, and they had known this person from childhood.

"You don't know that, Ruoyue-kun is a very powerful swordsman." Xiao Mi said, unlike Asuka and Hinaka, she and Manatsu often go to Kabukicho to find Nanase, although The family doesn't allow it very much, but they like to watch Nanase dance.

"Really?"

"Well! If you need help, let's try it. If Ruoyue-kun is willing to help, that would be the best."

"Then I'll leave it to Misato and Manazu!"

Xiaoshi and Manatsu are walking on the road.

"Xiao Shi, tell me, will Ruoyue-kun help? After all, we are not familiar with him." Mana was worried.

Xiao Shi smiled and said, "We definitely can't do it. If you want Ruoyue-jun to make a move, Nachan must come."

"Is it okay? You also know that Na Jiang has been secretly in love with Ruoyue-jun for so long and didn't dare to say it out. Will she be willing to ask Ruoyue-jun to help him?"

"Although I'm not sure, but Na Jiang is so soft-hearted, she should agree." Xiao Shi said.

Xiao Mi and Manatsu came to Kabukicho, Kabukicho is basically very quiet during the day, everyone is resting, but they know that Nanase must still be practicing.

"Na sauce?"

"Xiaoshi? You guys are here~"

After the three talked for a while, Xiao Shi told Nanase about Asuka.

"I also heard about this from the mothers who went out to buy vegetables today." Nanase said.

"Well, Na-chan, Asuka's brother and Hashimoto-kun want to save that Ikuta-san, but the other party is too powerful, so, can I ask you?"

"Please? I'm just a maiko, what can I do?"

"Na-chan, Ruoyue-kun."

Nanase was silent for a while, "Xiao Mi, Mana, you know, every time Ruoyue-kun comes here, he just listens to the music and watches the dance, and occasionally asks me to dance for him alone. I don't know if it can be done."

"If Na-chan is reluctant, then forget it." Xiao Shi said.

Nanase said quickly, "I'll help!"

"Na sauce?"

"Perhaps, you can take this opportunity to give yourself an answer." Nanase whispered.

Xiao Mi and Manazu looked at Nanase apologetically, "Na-chan, if he refuses, we will definitely not let him go!"

"you?"

"I'll make him never come back again!"

"Xiaoshi!"

Soon it was night, Xiao Shi and Mana had already got the news from Asuka, saying that the magic swordsman wanted to let Mr. Ikuta go there within three days, but Mr. Ikuta was outside now, and something seemed to happen in the territory. There is no way to get back in a while, so Hashimoto and Ikoma are ready to act.

Knowing that there might be a powerful swordsman to help, Asuka stopped Hashimoto and Ikoma's plan to act overnight, and they had no choice but to listen to Asuka and wait for news from Xiao Mi and Manatsu.

"Master? Why are you here?" Ikoma looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

"You skinny monkey, how can I rest assured that you are outside alone?"

"Sure enough, Master is the best to me!" Ikoma said excitedly, "Master already knows about the Ikuta family, right?"

Sakurai nodded. When she knew that Ikoma had been involved in this matter, she suddenly felt dizzy. It was impossible to stop him from drawing his sword to help, so Sakurai could only stay with Ikoma. Be around, adapt to the situation, and don't let him ruin your own business.

"It's good to have master here, master, let's go rescue Miss Tian together!" Ikoma said.

"You don't even know what's going on with your opponents, so you just pass by like this?" Sakurai said, "Let's not talk about the extraordinary skills of the leader magic swordsman, you two, in the past, you only had to die. I can handle it."

"Master~ Then what do you think we should do? Ikuta-sama can't come back at all!"

"He won't come back? Why?"

"It seems that something happened in the territory over there."

"What could be more important than his daughter?" Sakurai was a little annoyed.

"master?"

"Okay, remember, don't be so reckless, first figure out their purpose, why did Ikuta-sama go there alone, if you know this, it should be easier to handle." Sakurai said.

"Then master, what should we do now?"

Sakurai patted Ikoma on the head, "Practice hard for me, and Hashimoto-kun will heal well."

Sakurai left the room, Ikoma patted his head, "Master is still like this, Hashimoto-kun, what are you going to do now?"

"Master Sakurai is right. One day has passed. Although the time is very tight, we still need to be fully prepared. If Ikuta-sama doesn't come back, then I won't have so many scruples."

"The swordsman Asuka mentioned, I don't know what's going on now."

Kicho.

Ruoyue came to this place for entertainment as usual, this world is really too chaotic, and only in this place can one find a little bit of emptiness and prosperity.

Although he is a frequent visitor here, he doesn't have much communication with other people. He always walks alone, and every time he comes here, he will let the most famous maiko Nanase dance for him alone.

Ruoyue sat in the room, even in this kind of place, he didn't look like he was going wild.

Nanase also came to the room where Wakatsuki was staying as usual, and after saluting, she danced lightly to the music played by the musicians outside.

"Stop!" Ruoyue waved her hand, the music and dancing stopped suddenly.

"Wakazuki-kun, do you have any orders?" Nanase asked.

Ruoyue told all the musicians to leave, took a sip of tea, and said, "Nanase is not in the mood today, what happened?"

At any rate, she has been in this place for five or six years. If there is a flaw in Nanase's dance, Wakazuki can see it, but today, Nanase's state is obviously not right.

"I'm so sorry! I disappointed you!"

Ruoyue frowned, "If that's the case, then I'll go first."

"Wakatsuki-kun!" Nanase called out hastily.

Ruoyue sat back again, looked at Nanase who was a little embarrassed in front of her, didn't ask any more questions, just held a cup and looked back and forth.

"Nana is indeed asking for something, but she also knows Ruoyue-kun's rules, so Nana begged boldly and bet against you."

"Oh?" Ruoyue became interested, he did have such a rule, but no one should know about it now, that is, the maiko in front of him who gets along almost every night still remembers it.

"Please Ruoyue-kun agree."

"I promise." Ruoyue has no reason to refuse, just because this girl has danced for her for so many years, she must agree, remembering that she was a very tempered little girl when she first met Nanase , dancing is slow and clumsy, but she has grown and changed in the past few years, and I have seen it in my eyes, this world~

"Thank you Ruoyue-kun!"

Knowing that Wakazuki agreed to bet with Nanase, Xiao Mi and Manatsu were very happy, but also worried that if Nanase lost, they would still fall short, so they helped Nanase take the gambling tools to the room where Wakazuki was.

Ruoyue just looked up at them, didn't say much, and acquiesced that they stayed here.

Nanase sat in front of him, arranged the gambling equipment, "Please~"

Ruoyue looked at Nanase with some surprises, Nanase sitting in front of him seemed to be a little different now, how can I say, it is definitely not the first time that she is holding a gambling tool, it seems that she has practiced well , looking at her confident but slightly nervous smile, it seems that this time I really have to lose.

Mito and Manatsu behind them looked at them nervously.

Nanase held the dice cup, shook it lightly a few times, and then put it down.

At first, Ruoyue cheered up and wanted to listen carefully, but now, there is no need to guess at all, he knows Nanase's points, and he can't let it be too obvious, maybe, as long as he loses, Nanase will know that he is letting it go Bar.

Ruoyue remained calm, with her usual indifferent expression, she just shook it a few times, and placed it in front of Nanase.

Nanase suddenly became a little nervous, she opened her own dice cup first, she knew how much she rolled, she practiced crazily for Ruoyue, this time, it finally came in handy.

"One point, one point, two points, a total of four points, it seems that Nana will lose this time." Nanase showed a bitter smile, and then looked nervously at Ruoyue's dice cup.

The disappointment on the faces of Xiaoshi and Manatsu was beyond words, and they rolled out four points. The probability of winning this time is really too low. It seems that there is no hope this time.

"Come and drive." Ruo Yue said.

Nanase's hand trembled slightly, she reached out to Ruoyue's dice cup, and opened it.

"Three o'clock?" Nanase's expression brightened instantly.

Ruoyue unconsciously revealed a smile.

"Great!" Xiaoshi and Manaxia couldn't control themselves and shouted.

Ruoyue gave them a cold look, and they shrank back immediately.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ruoyue asked still sitting upright.

Nanase couldn't hide her excited expression, but when she thought about what Xiao Mi and Mana had entrusted to her, she suppressed her excitement and said, "Wakazuki-kun, do you know about Ikuta-san's house?"

"Ikuta? The lord here?"

"Yes," although I was a little surprised why Ruoyue didn't know that the lord here was Ikuta after living here for so long, but she couldn't care about it anymore, and continued, "Master Ikuta's lady was kidnapped. A group called Magic Swordsmen did it, and they said they wanted Master Ikuta to go there alone, but now Master Ikuta is wondering if he can come back, Wakazuki-kun?"

Nanase was keenly aware that Wakazuki was in a daze.

"So, do you need my help to save Miss Tian?" Ruoyue said calmly.

"Ruoyue-kun, please!" Xiao Shi and Mana Xia saluted together.

Ruoyue rubbed her chin unconsciously, many pictures appeared in her mind, she sighed slightly.

"Master Ikuta can't come back, is he?" Ruoyue also probably knew that the matter was related to these two girls, so she asked them directly.

"Yes! Hashimoto-kun, who is engaged to Ms. Ikuta, and Ikoma-kun, an older brother of my friend, are ready to save people. If they weren't strong enough, I'm afraid they would have gone to save people now."

Ruoyue knew about Hashimoto, a well-known swordsman, but let Ruoyue remember him because once he came to Kikicho, he was directly carried back by his father, that scene left a deep impression on him.

However, why did Shiraishi kidnap Miss Ikuta?She must be collecting money again, □□, but with her personality, she shouldn't hurt Ms. Ikuta, do you want to make a move?

"Wakazuki-kun, is this busy?" Nanase asked.

"Since I lost, I will naturally help, but I can only guarantee that Miss Ikuta is fine, and I don't care about the rest." Ruoyue doesn't want to get involved in these things, but if you lose, you lose, and the rules cannot be broken of.

"Thank you!" Xiao Mi and Manazu were very excited when they got Wakazuki's promise, and hurried to report to Hashimoto.

In the room, only Wakazuki and Nanase were left.

"Ruoyue-kun, this time, please forgive my rudeness." Nanase felt a little embarrassed.

"Nanase has practiced for a long time, right?" Wakazuki asked.

Nanase nodded.

"Nase is really cunning, she is secretly practicing gambling," Ruoyue said helplessly, "Did you throw four to force me to express my opinion?"

"Ruoyue-kun, Nana..." Nanase wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Ruoyue.

"What Nanase wants, I know, but this time, I only agreed to help because I am well taken care of by you, don't use this method to test feelings, but, I also promise you, when Ikuta's matter is over, I'll give you an answer." After Ruoyue finished speaking, she got up.

"Ruoyue-kun, please be careful." Nanase said before Ruoyue left.

Ruoyue nodded, and quickly escaped into the night.

The author has something to say:

I watched the PV several times, and I really couldn’t understand some places, and then I looked at the relationship diagram on the official website

What grudge does Baiju have?Why is Yueying still an old enemy?Komadori is a sister?Is sister-in-law a fan of Xiao Qi?

Why did Lao Qiao smile so strangely when he hugged Hua Hua? What did Axiang want Lao Bai to do?

However, some things were confirmed, Xiao Qi was definitely brought to the scene of the crime by Yue Shao~ but Sha Niu didn't know how she got there.
