Tokusatsu: How come this knight drama is different?!

Kizuna shrugged: "In any case, the only way to get Yu-san to accept all of this is to take it slowly, considering what his sister went through..."

Bandou sighed helplessly at this point.

Shengzhen pursed her lips and said nothing.

After preparing themselves mentally, Banto and Ikuma returned to the snack shop.

The shop owner was very eager to hear about the huge clue that Bandou had mentioned, and quickly asked what that clue was.

Banto stated that he had found out about many of the people who had gone missing, including, naturally, Inoue Michiru.

However, since there is a possibility of having the same name, he came here this time to ask the store manager for some photos.

Upon hearing this, the store manager immediately went back inside and then brought out a stack of photos.

"Mr. Reporter, thank you so much! These are all old photos of my sister..."

This is a photo of her when she first entered university; this is a photo of her buying snacks in front of a snack shop; this is a photo taken on the day she graduated from university, when she specially invited me to be her photographer…”

As the store manager spoke, he stuffed the photos into the man's arms.

Bandou quickly said that only a few cards would be enough.

The shopkeeper, Shirai's uncle, stuffed several photos into Banto's hand, then gripped Banto's hand tightly: "Banto-san... my sister... is she... still alive?"

Both Banto and Ikoma were rendered speechless by that one question.

They couldn't just tell him directly that his sister was dead, nor could they deceive the shop manager, since he would eventually have to acknowledge her as his sister.

Two lines of clear tears slowly streamed down the store manager's face.

"So, my sister, she..."

Bandou felt uneasy and quickly comforted the store manager, explaining that he had only received a clue and that further investigation was needed to determine the specifics.

Then he quickly pushed Shengzhen forward: "By the way, this is my assistant, his name is Shengzhen."

The store manager then looked at Shengzhen: "Shengzhen, is that right?"

Saki nodded hurriedly: "I, I, I am... um, I am Saki..."

The store manager nodded: "It's okay. Stuttering isn't really suitable for being a reporter, but as long as you write well and work hard, you can still become an excellent reporter."

Shengzhen looked completely bewildered: ???

No, I don't stutter...

Bandou glanced at the two of them. Although this first meeting was quite strange, and the shopkeeper seemed to have misunderstood something, he thought, oh well, so be it. It's not a big deal anyway.

Thinking this, Bandou said he wanted to buy more snacks and such.

The store manager waved his hand and said, "Reporter, take whatever you want, it's free!"

Bandou looked puzzled, then shook his head, indicating that no, the money had to be paid!

Then Banto and Ikuma bought two big bags of snacks. Banto pulled out several Fukuzawa Yukichi cards, his heart bleeding.

Damn it, why do I always have to pay?!

But seeing Saki standing there, lost in thought, watching the shopkeeper open the drawer at the counter and start making change, Bisaburo smiled helplessly.

Forget it, so be it.

Then, Bibuta pulled away the reluctant Sakura.

The store manager smiled and waved goodbye.

The store manager then began tidying up the snack boxes outside the store.

Just then, a figure arrived at the shop manager's snack shop...

The store manager saw the figure and immediately laughed: "What's wrong, Mr. Shengzhen? Did you forget something?"

……

Chapter 428 Another Life and the Princess...

"Tch, if you ask me, you guys are just being pretentious."

At Youche's restaurant:

Yu Che, with his legs crossed, looked at Sheng Zhen and Ban Dou with disdain and said, "Can't you just acknowledge each other directly? Why do you have to beat around the bush?!"

While eating in the restaurant, Bishou and Ikoma simultaneously looked up and glared at Yuche with hostility.

Swallowing the food in his mouth, Bantou pouted and said, "You really don't know anything, Yu Che-san."

You Che laughed angrily. "I don't understand? Hahaha, that's ridiculous! What the hell is it that I don't understand?!"

“No, we can’t acknowledge each other directly.” Shengzhen swallowed the chicken leg meat in her mouth and then said, “I… I’m not ready yet…”

You Che rolled his eyes: "So that's what makes you two so pretentious."

"Tch, never mind. Also... this meal will cost you 1000 yen, remember to pay later."

Saki and Banto paused in their eating, and after Banto finished his meal in a few bites, he grinned at Yutetsu and said, "Hey, aren't we comrades? Do comrades have to pay for meals?"

You Che instantly flew into a rage: "You think you can get a free meal here?! Besides, I've already given you a discount, okay?!"

Sheng Zhen felt a little wronged. Looking at the chicken leg on the plate, he thought for a moment, then stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth and sucked on it. When he pulled it out again, there was only a bone left.

Shengzhen tossed the chicken bone onto the plate and said to Youche, "It's just a chicken leg, why is it so expensive?"

You Che sneered, "This is expensive? The rice you're eating is made with rice I carefully selected. Do you know how expensive rice is these days?!" (Knowing how to say it in a current context~)

Saki and Banto lowered their heads in resignation.

Then Ikuma looked at Bisato.

Kizuna's anger flared up instantly: "Senma, you don't even have a thousand yen?!"

Shengzhen pouted, took out his wallet, and pulled out a wad of cash.

Tripman's eyes widened in disbelief: "Where did you get so much money?!"

Shengzhen: "It was earned by Xingguo and me, but I think all this money should belong to Xingguo. I often mess things up, but Xingguo has never blamed me, so I was thinking of saving up money to buy Xingguo a gift."

Hearing Shengzhen say this, Youche felt inexplicably guilty.

He quickly shook his head. Damn it, isn't it only natural to pay for a meal? Why do I feel guilty?!

and……

"Is there only a gift for Xingguo? My birthday is December 5th, is there one for me too?"

You Chetian shamelessly moved closer.

Shengzhen was speechless.

Seriously, is your skin made of a city wall?

With a quick swipe, he shoved Yu Che's face away. Damn it, I've never seen such a shameless guy.

but……

"My birthday is June 3rd, don't forget."

Saki looked at Bisuma with a question mark on her face. No, Bisuma, why are you like this too?!

Bantou gave an awkward laugh, then took out his wallet to pay.

Just then, Bandou's phone rang.

Tripman paused slightly, picked up his phone, answered the call, placed it on the table, and immediately put it on speakerphone.

"Hey, what's wrong, editor-in-chief?"

The man unzipped his wallet, preparing to take out the banknotes inside.

Then the editor-in-chief's voice rang out: "Bantou! Get to the Hikari Snack Shop in 2-chome right now! There's big news there! A... a strange black man appeared there and attacked the shop owner! This is huge news! You're the closest, get there now!"

Both Banto and Saki were stunned for a moment, then Banto's expression changed drastically. He picked up his phone and asked loudly, "Editor-in-chief, you said someone and where were attacked?!"

"It's near Xiangyang Snack Shop, do you know the location? If not, I'll send you the address..."

Before the editor-in-chief could say anything more, Bandou and Shengzhen had already grabbed their things and rushed out.

All that remained in the shop was You Che, who stared blankly at the empty space where the two had left.

"Eating...eating and dashing?!" You Che stared dumbfounded at the two people's retreating figures...

……

When Shengzhen and Bandou arrived at Xiangyang Snack Shop, a section of the wall had been smashed and the shelves inside had collapsed on the ground. The two rushed into the snack shop and saw the shop manager lying on the ground with the shelves on top of him.

"The store manager?!"

The two exclaimed in surprise. Shengzhen was very strong and quickly stood the shelf up. They used a tripod to carry the store manager to a safe place, then checked his breathing and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he's still breathing and not dead.

At the call of the tripping dart, the shopkeeper slowly woke up.

"Manager!" Bandou exclaimed in surprise, then his expression changed, and he quickly asked, "Who did this to you?!"

At this moment, Sheng Zhen actually stood the fallen shelf up in the store.

The heavy iron frame seemed weightless in Shengzhen's hands.

The store manager did not see Shengzhen from a safe place outside the store.

He grabbed the arm of the man who had tripped him, and said with difficulty, "Yes, it was you who took care of... that child named Shengzhen... everything he did..."

The tripping maneuver was like being struck by lightning...

The next moment, he looked at the store manager with a completely bewildered expression: "Huh?!"

After saying that, the store manager's head lolled to the side, and... well, he fainted.

Trigger placed the shop manager on the ground, then looked at Ikoma, who was helping out inside the shop, with a puzzled expression...

The store manager said...

Is it real?!

Who was the person I just ate at Youche's place?
