Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

'Someone who suddenly appeared?'

This thought popped into Ichiri Goto's head.

A sense of relief at surviving a disaster filled my heart.

Although I don't know who the other person is, they must be here to save me.

After all, in a world with monsters, there are usually people who fight them.

This kind of setting is quite normal in light novels, right?

Ah, that's wonderful.

They survived.

Clutching his chest, Goto Ichiri slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Just at this moment.

Thick clouds drifted slowly across the sky, blocking out the sun.

The originally glaring light became much softer.

This way you can clearly see the person's face.

To be honest, Ichiri Goto is still very curious about this.

After all, most girls have a fantasy of being rescued by a hero.

Then, Goto Ichiri saw it.

Its entire body was crimson red, covered with green scars.

The humanoid creature, which looked like a piranha, slowly turned its head to look at her.

A hungry look flickered in his emerald green compound eyes.

That was a longing for flesh and blood.

It comes from the predator's instinct.

The jet-black claws gleamed with a chilling light in the sunlight.

Goto Ichiri, who had initially breathed a sigh of relief, gradually stiffened.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I probably won't be able to come home tonight."

Chapter 1144, we'll cover the rest of the area later...

Aragami are the natural enemies of humankind who are given the title of "gods".

In 2050, "oracle cells" suddenly appeared and began to prey on all life on Earth, undergoing rapid changes and differentiating into various organisms.

Normal weapons are useless against these monsters.

Strictly speaking, the Aragami are just a group of "oracle cells," single-celled organisms that prey on prey. Each Aragami is an aggregate of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of cells.

Each "oracle cell" is like an eye, a tooth, and each is responsible for its own function, forming its own organ.

The organ known as the "core" is responsible for controlling the entire group; once it is destroyed, the Aragami's "oracle cells" will dissipate like mist.

The dispersed "oracle cells" will quickly recombine to form new Aragami.

Therefore, for humans, the Aragami are beings that can never be destroyed, and even using nuclear bombs would be useless.

Even if one is killed, the spilled cells will quickly form new Aragami elsewhere.

For humanity, the future is bleak.

Even with all our efforts, we see no hope.

If I had to name one, there would only be one method that isn't really a method.

For example, you could find a humanoid, rational Aragami and use negotiation or an exchange of benefits to get them to hunt down those Aragami.

Yes.

Strictly speaking, it is possible for an Aragami to kill another Aragami.

The cells that are composed of those Aragami killed by Aragami will be devoured by another Aragami, or rather, become part of that Aragami.

At this moment, this ara-god is being trampled under Luo Zhen's feet.

They are considered a very rare anomaly among the Aragami.

Diaeus the Father.

A few Aragami will actively hunt down other Aragami.

They possess considerable intelligence.

If you disregard his terrifying appearance, he is a very treacherous and cunning fellow.

In the story, he is a guy who deliberately hunts other people in front of them in order to tease his prey.

It should be said that it was extremely bad.

To be honest, at first Luo Zhen really didn't realize what this thing was.

After all, we've seen plenty of monsters with ghostly appearances over the years.

It has become commonplace for creatures that only exist in fantasy to appear in reality.

So I really didn't think of it for the time being.

It wasn't until I saw that huge, human-like face and the wings behind it that I realized what it was.

After all, back when I watched anime...

The scene of this thing repeatedly biting humans to death and pouring its blood onto the male protagonist was a bit too stimulating.

It could be considered a childhood trauma.

"roar........"

A deep roar came from below, interrupting Luo Zhen's thoughts.

A force came from below, almost knocking Luo Zhen off his feet.

"They're quite energetic."

"But it's better to keep it quiet."

The black claws were raised high, then the fist clenched and slammed down.

The familiar roar sounded again.

The violent airflow made it impossible for Goto Ichiri to open his eyes.

At that moment, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt a little glad that she had worn her gym uniform after school today.

If it were a school uniform skirt, she would probably be in a very embarrassing situation right now, clutching her skirt and covering her face.

Well, given Ichiri Goto's personality, it's hard to imagine her wearing dresses or similar clothes.

After all, this kid is a bit socially anxious.

Not a social terrorist, but a genuinely socially anxious person.

The type who feels extremely uncomfortable when walking down the street and seeing a large group of people approaching, and who doesn't even know where to look.

For this child, dresses and such are a bit beyond her comfort level.

"The students over there."

"Please wait over there for a moment, it will be over soon."

He noticed that Goto Ichiri's brain was almost completely shut down.

Luo Zhen said in a relaxed tone.

But the voice beneath the mask sounded very dull and hoarse when it reached Ichiri Goto's ears.

It's practically saying, 'You're next!'

'Alas!!'

The thought of possibly being killed by this monster was horrifying.

Goto Ichiri's mind cleared instantly.

He took two steps back with his big guitar on his back, then turned around and started running.

From initially dragging his stiff body and barely taking a step to later running wildly.

At this moment, Goto Ichiri just wanted to get away from this place as quickly as possible.

However.......

"We'll explore the areas ahead later..."

"Oh no, I've switched channels."

"You can't go any further ahead for now, Goto-kun~"

The familiar voice startled Goto Ichiri.

That voice sounds so familiar.

Then that familiar face came into Goto Ichiri's view.

'I remember, her name was Nishiki Chizuka.'

She's a very popular student in the class.

Goto Ichiri still has a pretty strong impression of that face.

After all, Chizuka Nishiki was very popular in the class, and everyone liked to be around her.

Chizuka Nishiki always handled those people very politely and appropriately.

This is something that Goto Ichiri greatly admires.

It's a field I can't access.

If possible, Goto Ichiri would love to become someone as dazzling as that.

Unfortunately, it can't be done.

I never expected her to appear in this place.

Still not quite understanding, Goto Ichiri stammered:

"Jinmu, let's get out of here quickly."

"There are two monsters inside, it's very dangerous."

"Right, we need to call the police right away."

In a panic, Goto Ichiri mustered all his strength to finish speaking this passage.

This was the most she had ever said to her classmates since starting high school.

Strictly speaking, the few words she spoke to Nishiki Chizuka were more than the total number of words she spoke to everyone else.

It sounds incredible, but it's normal.

After all, in some university dormitories, several people can go three or four days without exchanging a single word.

This is the case in university dormitories, let alone classrooms.

"Hey hey, I know, I know."

"But please wait a moment."

"Everyone else thought the same thing."

She raised her hands to try and calm Goto Ichiri down.

Kids like that are really interesting.

They seem so easy to fool.

With a grin on her face, Nishiki Chizuka turned slightly to the side, gesturing for Goto Ichiri to look over.

Blinking slightly, a bewildered Goto Ichiri followed Nishiki Chizuka's gaze.

What came into view was a whole team of combat personnel dressed in jet-black combat uniforms.
