Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Anyway, my high school life will probably continue like this.

Just like in junior high school.

Oh, whatever.

Just focus your energy on the guitar.

Time will pass quickly.

Wait until the second year of high school, no, the third year.

Forget it, I'll just wait until college to make friends.

I'm sure I'll make a lot of friends and become a qualified member of the band!

Goto Ichiri thought to himself.

However, surprises, or rather, unexpected events, always arrive when you've given up.

The world might just be a wicked, scheming little girl with a wicked personality.

When you have high expectations for something, the final result is always disappointing.

But when you have no expectations for something, or even accept it beforehand and are prepared for failure, the result always inexplicably develops in a positive direction.

It's like hoping you'll experience setbacks but not wanting you to actually become depressed.

They'll occasionally give you a little something extra.

Thinking about it that way, it seems pretty easy to get started (scratch that).

"Good morning, Goto-san."

A crisp sound rang out from behind.

What followed was a soft impact.

The reason I say this is because Ichiri Goto clearly felt someone pounce on him.

But it's not heavy, and its body is very flexible.

"hey-hey."

Fair, delicate arms encircled Goto Ichiri's neck, while Nishiki Chizuka peeked out from the side.

A bright smile graced his face.

At first glance, you'd think this girl is an energetic and optimistic person.

The sudden, enthusiastic, and close contact threw Goto Ichiri into a state of panic.

Although I rehearse in my mind every day what to do and how to respond if someone approaches me.

But when the time actually comes, they still feel very flustered.

It's like the people who give advice on dating to their grown-up children in the dorm often don't have much experience in dating themselves.

I feel uncomfortable talking to girls.

"Seriously, don't just pounce on other people."

Inoue Takina walked over with a helpless expression, grabbed Nishiki Chizuka by the collar and lifted her up like a kitten.

Even as she was being lifted up, Chizuki Nishiki still wore a憨憨 (simple and honest) smile.

It was as if something happy had happened.

"I'm so sorry, Chizuka, for causing you trouble."

Throwing Nishiki Chizuka aside, Inoue Takina said apologetically.

Although I'm already very careful.

However, Chizuka occasionally does things that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

For example, suddenly jumping on someone when you've just met them for the first time.

At least that was true for Goto Ichiri.

"No no."

Goto Ichiri, regaining his senses, quickly waved his hand.

Although such behavior would undoubtedly be considered very inappropriate in Japanese school culture, and might even make people think that this person is mentally ill.

But for Goto Ichiri, who hadn't made friends for many years, it was undoubtedly a godsend.

Could it be that today is my lucky day?

Finally, a classmate was willing to talk to me.

To be honest, if things continue like this, Goto Ichiri might even start to wonder if she has somehow acquired the ability to become invisible in class without her knowledge.

This kind of superpower is considered quite good in the context of adult anime.

But for a normal person, it's not even worth mentioning!

They're completely hindering and making things worse.

"Hey Goto, is that a guitar in your bag?"

"Yes, because I practice on my own regularly."

"Really?! That's amazing. I've thought about learning guitar, but I'm completely hopeless at it."

After a long time without chatting with strangers outside of her family, Goto Ichiri slowly rediscovered the joy of talking to people.

Although the initial contact was a bit strange.

But, I guess you could say I've made friends?

Goto Ichiri thought to himself with some uncertainty.

High school life seems to be starting to become more colorful.

Although it's only a little bit.

Meanwhile, at Chiba's base.

In a containment chamber with only one transparent wall, the abominable Diaus, codenamed Father Diaus, paced back and forth anxiously.

Its scarlet eyes would occasionally glance at the only window through which it could observe the outside world.

Although it is said that you can observe the outside, the outside is still just gray and white metal walls.

With its intelligence, which is not much inferior to that of humans, it quickly figured out the current situation.

Have I become a prisoner of humanity?

This is truly a disgrace.

The wings behind it were slightly open, seemingly gathering energy.

However, when a figure appeared outside the glass, the enormous wings folded up imperceptibly.

Its forelimbs, with their sharp claws, rubbed restlessly against the ground.

Chapter 1148 Shinobu Kocho is very curious

"What an incredible creature."

Shinobu Kocho gently pushed up her glasses, her face filled with disbelief.

Her petite figure, wrapped in a white coat, was almost pressed against the glass.

This organism is less a single individual than a combination of countless tiny, independently existing individuals.

Just like those combined mechs.

However, the basic unit of those combined mechs is a single, individual mech.

The Aragami are composed of cells that are like eyes and teeth, each responsible for its own function, forming their own organs.

Ultimately, can this thing really be considered a separate organism?

After all, those cells can completely reassemble into other Aragami.

How exactly do the core cells control the rest of the cells?

Shinobu Kocho expressed great curiosity.

The intense gaze made Diaw, who was confined in the containment room, feel slightly uncomfortable.

The gaze of this weak, ant-like human made it feel very uneasy.

This feeling is quite ominous.

I always felt that in that human's eyes I was just a fish on a chopping board.

Perhaps all living things would react the same way when faced with scientists who are so passionate about research.

After all, these guys are capable of anything to satisfy their research desires.

Never underestimate a scientist's passion for research!

Shinobu Kocho is undoubtedly in this state now.

Although the time spent systematically learning modern medical knowledge is not long.

However, she already had a certain foundation, and she also developed many medicines that are quite incredible from a modern perspective.

For example, in the original story, Zenitsu Agatsuma's limbs were severely atrophied due to the spider demon's poison.

Modern medical systems certainly can't cure it; just keeping yourself alive is already a good thing.

Even if another limb is transplanted afterward, it will certainly not be possible to move as freely as before.

Normal life is fine, but don't even think about doing heavy work.

But Butterfly Shinobu not only cured my wife Zenitsu's atrophied limbs.

It can even allow him to continue high-intensity combat and train to become stronger, and it seems there are no aftereffects.

If a modern doctor saw this, his worldview would collapse, wouldn't it?

This is completely unscientific!

With muscles atrophied to that extent, the nerves should have been in complete disarray by now, right?

But she did it.

Well, anyway, the Demon Slayer world itself isn't that scientific.

It's normal to encounter medical techniques that are a bit hard to understand.

Kibutsuji Muzan was actually created by a doctor.

Used to it.

That's just how researchers are; they occasionally come up with things that even they can't understand.

With her own 'foundation' and perseverance, Shinobu Kocho naturally embarked on the path of a researcher.

Although at first he said he wanted to become a doctor with miraculous healing skills.

But without realizing it, it turned out like this.

She didn't quite understand this either.

How strange.

It might be related to her mentor.

A blonde, single woman in her late twenties sneezed.

It sounds like someone is talking about me?

Forget it.

Shaking her head, the blonde, older single woman continued with her experiment.

"Mr. Luo Zhen, what if we kill this Aragami now?"

Will other Aragami form in this room?

"Or will it run outside?"

Turning her head, Shinobu looked at Rozen with some curiosity and asked.
