Knight: A Life of Collecting Attributes Starting as a Vampire

"You failed? And you even got a lecture?"

Yuji Kiba asked with a smile.

"It's not that we failed, it's that we didn't even try."

Naoya Kaidou shook his head. The thought of the black knight kicking an Orphnoch to death sent chills down his spine; it was terrifying.

He's been planning to steal a belt ever since they parted ways.

However, he also knew that with his abilities, he definitely couldn't use force; he could only outsmart the enemy.

So he set his sights on the people at Meteor Academy, and the Delta Belt.

But before he could act, he saw Kimura Saya transform and fight.

The scene of Orphnoch kicking the crocodile to death was still vivid in his mind, as if it had been kicked right in his own body. He was so frightened that he ran back immediately.

As for the belt, he had long forgotten about it.

The outside world is too dangerous; he doesn't want to die.

"Oh right, I actually saw Cangya and Jiehua there. It seems he noticed me."

Kaidou Naoya said suddenly.

He remembered clearly the look Cangya gave him before leaving; he definitely saw him.

"I see. No wonder Qian Qiao left in such a hurry just now."

Yuji Kiba nodded.

If the store hadn't needed someone to watch it, he would have followed them there.

However, since Cangya is there, there's no problem.

Chapter 102: Hanagata, the Suspected Identity.

On Cangya's side.

The four of them returned to the laundromat.

Sonoda Mari finally asked her question at this point.

"Mr. Cangya, what exactly happened to my father's disappearance?"

"It's better for him to tell you himself than for me to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Cangya looked toward a certain corner.

The three of them looked over as well, but it seemed there was no one there.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a noise came from the corner, and a figure slowly walked out.

He was a man around fifty years old, with white hair and a headscarf.

Despite appearing very weak, his dignified aura remained completely intact.

He is Hanagata, the former president of the Smart Brain Group.

"Father?"

Sonoda Mari and Kimura Saya were both startled, then rushed over in delight.

"Long time no see, Mari, Saya."

Hanagata looked at her two daughters with a gentle expression.

After a while, he looked up at Cangya, who was watching the show there.

How did you find me?

As the strongest Orphnoch among the kings, he was quite confident in his ability to conceal himself.

Even the AI ​​Group couldn't detect him, but a young man did, which surprised him.

“I noticed it a long time ago; you’ve appeared in my life at least six times in the last four weeks.”

Cangya responded with a smile.

With his God-like perspective, how could he possibly miss the movements around him?

No matter how well the flower shape was hidden, in Cangya's perception, it was like a bright red dot.

"It turns out that our father has been watching over us all along."

Sonoda Mari and the others understood what had happened, but they still didn't know the truth.

“Since we’re already out here, let’s sit down and have a chat. We can’t let them keep looking for you.”

"it is good."

Hanagata finally nodded.

The group entered the laundromat and then went upstairs to sit down.

"Father, what happened? Why did you disappear?"

Sonoda Mari asked the question that had been on her mind.

Hanagata pondered for a moment, then recounted the events that had occurred over the years.

He recounted everything from his own identity as an Orphnoch, to the creation of the Meteor Academy in search of a vessel for the King of the Orphnoch, to the attack on the Meteor Academy and the subsequent shift in his thinking.

"Wait, Father, you said we're already dead?"

Sonoda Mari and Kimura Saya stared at Hanagata in shock, never expecting the answer to be so cruel.

"Ah."

Although it was cruel, Hanagata still said it.

This incident was a huge blow to him.

Moreover, this matter is not as simple as it seems; the Brain Group is involved.

Those guys bypassed him, the president, and attacked Meteor Academy because they wanted to accelerate the awakening of the King of Orphnoch.

The vast majority of these children meet the conditions for the King of Orphnoch to awaken. Even if they cannot awaken, they can still use these children as test subjects.

In order to accelerate the awakening of Orphnochs and increase their numbers, the Brain Group developed the Orphnoch Factor, which can increase the success rate of Orphnoch awakening.

Everyone in Meteor Academy used the Orphnoch Factor, which is why they were able to revive, but only Sawada Aki truly awakened to become an Orphnoch.

Even so, this is still a major breakthrough and good news for the Brainpower Group.

"how so……"

Sonoda Mari and Kimura Saya were both unable to accept this outcome and remained silent for a long time.

"It's just that he died and came back to life, so what?"

Cangya comforted him from the side.

Hanagata then looked at Soga, his gaze filled with complex emotions.

"Mr. Cangya, are you really Orphnoch?"

Hanagata's words startled Cangya, who then looked at him in surprise.

From the moment he came into this world, no one doubted his identity except for himself, who revealed it.

Both Murakami and Lucky Clover have already accepted the identity of the Azure Fang Orphnoch, and Hanagata is the first to doubt him.

"Although it's hard to believe, I've always had a feeling that you're not an Orphnoch, and those guys in Murakami's knowledge can't possibly see through you."

This is not a matter of experience, because experience cannot see through Cangya.

This is the intuition of the world's top experts.

However, even Hanagata himself couldn't be sure of the answer; he only sensed that Cangya was different from them.

"..."

Silence fell in the room again. Sonoda Mari and Kimura Saya stared at Cangya in shock. This frank meeting had revealed too many unknown things that shocked them.

"Old ginger is spicier."

Cangya neither admitted nor denied it, but simply praised Hanagata.

However, that was enough. Hanagata realized that his guess was true; there really were extraordinary beings in this world besides the Orphnochs.

"Truth and Saya thank you for taking care of us during this time."

Hanagata stopped dwelling on the matter and thanked Cangya.

"Of course, we're friends."

Cangya waved his hand.

The two women snapped out of their daze and smiled happily upon hearing his words.

At this moment, her acceptance level had increased significantly. Even her own father was an Orphnoch, so no one cared about Cangya's identity anymore.

"I don't have much time left, so I'm asking you to take care of them for me from now on."
