Knight: A Life of Collecting Attributes Starting as a Vampire

This is based on his experience traveling all over the country over the years: noodles are not only cheap, but they also come with soup.

Not all shops offer tea, so ordering noodles with soup is the best option, even though you have to wait for them to cool down before you can eat them.

"How tragic."

Sonoda Mari looked at Inui Takumi with a hint of pity in her eyes.

Are you any better than me?

Qian Qiao asked dismissively.

If Sonoda Mari hadn't been so persistent in following him around, he would definitely be doing better now.

Now the three of them have no money, no jobs, no place to live, and are being hunted down every day. Is there anything worse than this?

"Hmph, we'll just go to the Brainpower Company and find my dad tomorrow. He's the president of the Brainpower Group, then we won't have to be homeless anymore."

Sonoda Mari immediately retorted.

His adoptive father was Hanagata, the former president of the Brain Group.

However, for some reason, her adoptive father disappeared after giving her a belt some time ago, and was subsequently hunted down by the Orphnochs.

The reason I came to Tokyo with Inui Takumi this time is to find my adoptive father and find out the reason.

"President of the Brainpower Group?"

Their words were overheard by the people next to them, and the three of them exchanged a glance.

Are there any daughters in the village?

Yuji Kiba asked in a low voice.

"It's not Murakami, it's the previous president."

Cangya naturally knew the truth of the matter and responded in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Kiba Yuji and Nagata Yuka suddenly realized what was going on, but they knew very little about the previous president, so they could only listen to what Aoya had to say.

Cangya and the others spoke very softly, so softly that even a normal person standing nearby couldn't hear them, but Kiba Yuji and Nagata Yuka could hear them very clearly.

Besides them, there was another person who revealed a strange expression and subconsciously glanced at the three of them. That person was Qian Qiao.

"Can he hear us?"

Yuji Kiba also noticed Takumi Inui's unusual behavior and asked in a low voice.

"Probably not? Ordinary people can't hear us."

Yuka Nagata also looked over in confusion, but found nothing unusual.

"How about we test it out?"

Cangya then revealed a playful smile and made the suggestion.

How do we test it?

The two of them also showed expressions of curiosity.

Cangya gave a strange smile, looked at Qian Qiao, and whispered two words.

"Poor bastard!"

Kiba Yuji: "..."

Yuka Nagata: "..."

Qian Qiao: "..."

They hadn't expected Cangya to be so direct; it was so presumptuous, especially for Qian Qiao.

"Cat's tongue!"

"A颓废男!"

"You big idiot!"

"..."

Although Qian Qiao forced himself to remain silent.

However, Yuji Kiba and Yuka Nagata could still sense his turbulent inner state.

If I'm not mistaken, this is very likely Orphnoch.

I never expected to run into a fellow traveler while having a meal. It seems that Orphnochs aren't as rare as I thought.

However, it seems that Mr. Cangya has completely offended people, which makes things difficult.

Chapter 85: Novice Mentor, Squid Orphnoch.

"Are you alright? You look terrible."

Sonoda Mari noticed Inui Takumi's change and asked him with concern.

"fine."

Qian Qiao shook his head; he couldn't admit that he was angered by Cangya.

As for his special abilities, he didn't know what they were, he just instinctively didn't want to use them.

The people next to them also seemed to have special abilities, but they didn't appear to have any ill intentions towards them.

Except for that bastard, of course!

Just thinking about Cangya's foul mouth made Qian Qiao's forehead crease with annoyance. That guy was definitely doing it on purpose, deliberately trying to embarrass him.

However, he didn't have much time to get angry, because the food had already been served.

Both of them forgot their earlier ulterior motives and began to eat the food in front of them.

Only Qian Qiao was in a bit of trouble. Looking at the hot soup in the noodles, she could only slowly blow on it to cool it down, which looked both pitiful and ridiculous.

After finishing their food, Cangya and his group prepared to leave.

Although Kiba Yuji and the others knew that Inui Takumi might be one of their kind, they did not rashly disturb him.

Qian Qiao simply watched the three leave without saying a word, and then began to eat the noodles on his table.

……

Cangya and his group originally planned to go home after finishing their meal, but an unexpected person stopped them.

"A member of the New City team?"

Cangya couldn't help but laugh when he saw the person who had arrived.

The person in front of me is none other than the squid Orphnoch from the original story, and also the mentor for novice Orphnochs.

In the world of knights, it's actually quite normal to look alike; Cangya has seen familiar faces more than once.

Take Rhino Fang Blood Demon, for example. His human form is exactly the same as Professor Kagawa from Ryuki Ryuki. I'm used to it.

"My name is Eiichi Toda. I'm the teacher sent by the group to guide you and teach you some special things."

Eiichi Toda was the first to introduce himself.

"Something special?"

Kiba Yuji and Nagata Yuka both looked at him with suspicion.

Eiichi Toda didn't explain anything further; he led the three of them into a nearby hotel.

"Welcome~ Waaaaah!"

The shop owner stopped speaking as soon as he opened his mouth, because his face was now covered with a layer of ink that looked like asphalt.

Within seconds, the shop owner had suffocated and collapsed to the ground.

The one who made the move was Eiichi Toda, who had now transformed into the squid Orphnoch. The ink was spraying from the scepter in his hand and was fatal to people.

"what are you doing?"

Yuji Kiba and the others were stunned; they hadn't expected the squid orphin to suddenly make a move.

They tried to stop them, but were easily evaded, and then Eiichi Toda continued to attack the people in the hotel.

"Compared to humans, the number of Orphnochs is very small, so we must increase our companions. This is how we increase our companions."

As he killed, Ophione the squid explained to the three of them.

By hunting humans and awakening them to become Orphnochs, this is another type of Orphnoch outside the body, like Yuji Kiba and his fellow Orphnochs.

This awakening of the Orphnoch is entirely based on luck; sometimes only one in hundreds will appear, and their power is not comparable to that of the original Orphnoch.

The original forms are so rare that the Orphnochs have no choice but to hunt them.

In just a few dozen seconds, everyone in the hotel collapsed to the ground.

Apart from Cangya, both of them felt unwell.

Even though both of them had killed people, they couldn't bring themselves to do it in this sober state.

"It is our duty as Orphnochs to constantly attack humans to increase our ranks. If we fail to do so, we will be punished, and in severe cases, we will be disposed of."

The stern voice of the squid Orphnoch rang out again.
