Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

His eyes, framed by glasses, were filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Actually, Shinobu Kocho is not nearsighted.

At least you don't need to wear glasses.

Someone had said that she would look good in glasses, so Shinobu Kocho tried wearing a pair of non-prescription glasses.

At first, I was a little unaccustomed to it.

But you get used to it after a while.

I always wear glasses when doing research.

It might be a form of psychological suggestion to get myself into work mode.

Luo Zhen was taken aback when asked the question.

Honestly, isn't this a question you should be researching?

You ask me what use a combatant is?

I'm not a researcher from that world.

Although he wanted to complain, Luo Zhen still made some guesses based on the information he had.

"probably."

"Normally, when an Aragami is killed, it means that its core part is destroyed."

"Then the cells that make up its body dissipate and disappear, or at least that's what it appears to be."

"Then at some point a new Aragami will be born."

"Moreover, it's less like it was born and more like it appeared out of thin air."

"Of course, there's no need to worry about new Aragami forming outside. Ultimately, it's just cell recombination."

"It's impossible to leave this containment chamber."

That world was indeed a world filled with despair.

Human combatants will be lost in battle, killed by Aragami, or die of old age, sickness, or other illnesses. They may even lose their will to fight for various reasons.

However, the fighting strength of the Aragami side will not be reduced.

The slain Aragami simply transformed into other Aragami.

Killing a minor Aragami will cause a new Aragami to appear.

Killing a powerful Aragami will cause many Aragami of average strength to appear.

Furthermore, Luo Zhen seemed to vaguely remember that the setting of that world was that the planet was a giant Aragami, or that the planet was composed of oracle cells.

In short, there is absolutely no hope in sight.

Rather than saying that humanity is fighting against the Aragami and trying to survive, it's more accurate to say that the planet wants to kill humanity.

Just like the human immune system sends white blood cells to kill viruses.

"That's it."

"Does that mean there's no process of composition?"

"What a peculiar creature."

After hearing Luo Zhen's explanation, Shinobu Kocho gained a deeper understanding of the Aragami.

As an enemy, he would be an extremely terrifying existence.

It cannot be completely killed, cannot communicate with humans, and harbors extreme malice towards them.

It can appear out of nowhere and wreak havoc anywhere.

You might find yourself having an intimate conversation late at night when a wild god suddenly appears above your head.

Thinking about it this way, the extinction of humanity in that world is only a matter of time.

One day, humanity will perish in despair.

However, from another perspective, these oracle cells could be very valuable if used properly.

In his report last night, Mr. Luo Zhen mentioned that the humans in that world made bio-weapons using oracle cells, which I think were called Divine Machines.

It is the weapon that humans in that world used to fight against the Aragami.

Secondly, the fact that oracle cells cannot be observed with the naked eye when they dissipate, but can be described as appearing out of thin air when they recombine, gave Shinobu Kocho a somewhat inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

Thinking this, Shinobu Kocho looked at Rozen beside her with a puzzled expression.

I have a feeling that it's somewhat like Mr. Luo Zhen's power.

Chapter 1149 Normally speaking, only what cannot be achieved is called a dream.

Luo Zhen did not continue to follow up on the research regarding the Oracle Cell.

After all, he couldn't offer much help in this regard.

At most, Shinobu would go into the containment chamber to beat up the Aragami when needed, collect some materials, and incidentally keep the guy inside quiet.

Luo Zhen was quite familiar with this process.

In the entire Chiba containment facility, there are very few living beings that haven't been beaten by Ryoujin.

To be honest, Ryouma was quite envious of Shinobu Kocho, who was so focused on her research.

I don't have many skills to begin with, and I haven't invested any in scientific research.

A few years ago, Luo Zhen had dreamed of becoming a well-rounded talent, skilled in both literature and martial arts, through hard work.

The entire process, from containment to research, can be completed by one person, and they can even help out while others are conducting their research.

Unfortunately, there are limits to human capabilities.

Luo Zhen was unable to fulfill his dream.

Therefore, he decisively abandoned his unrealistic fantasy of making achievements in the research field.

It's more accurate to say that what most people can't achieve is what we call a dream.

The road to realizing your dreams is extremely difficult.

It's as difficult as explaining to your mother that multiplayer games can't be paused.

It can only be said that some things are destined to be inexplicable, and some dreams are destined to be unrealized.

For example, you won't get criticized by your supervisor.

Return to the present.

Although I really wanted to say that I should rest today.

But since we're already here, let's just get to work.

That's what Luo really thinks.

So I went straight to Joseph.

Well, give yourself some buffer time before going to work, like chatting with Jojo for a while or something.

In the past, Luo Zhen would probably have immediately started preparing for work.

After all, when he first arrived in Chiba, he was the only one in the entire base who could fight.

Without me, this family will fall apart.jpg

Now that he has sufficient fighting power, Luo Zhen no longer needs to act the same way as before.

"Recently, Chiba has been quite peaceful."

"That was true at least until you came back."

Sitting casually in his seat, Joseph spoke with a very nonchalant, or perhaps somewhat street-smart, air.

He was picking his nose as he spoke.

Normally, people become more and more mature.

But Joseph was an exception.

This guy seems to have a very youthful mindset.

Aside from a brief period of maturity after being influenced by the memories of another older version of himself, he did not mature for a long time.

Now I've actually regained a youthful mindset.

Truly - getting younger as you get older.

All I can say is that this is what happens when someone is old in years but young at heart—a true rogue.

"Really? That's quite unfortunate."

As if oblivious to Joseph's hidden teasing, Rōjin responded very 'naively'.

In fact, Luo Zhen himself felt somewhat helpless.

If he could, he would like to be the kind of person who brings peace wherever he goes and lives a comfortable retirement life no matter where he is transferred.

Unfortunately, such a thing is unlikely.

Joseph put the completed documents aside and briefly ended his work.

He leaned back against the wide, comfortable chair and stretched.

Two thick, log-like legs habitually propped up on the table.

For Joseph, life has indeed become much more boring.

No matter how busy I was before, even during the busiest period after taking over the SPW conglomerate, I always managed to find time to have some fun.

There's no way around it; the point of living is to make yourself happy, everything else is secondary.

This is Mr. Joseph's first life motto.

And he has always maintained this approach.

"Speaking of which, Gintoki has already gone back."

"I was originally thinking of trying to persuade him to work a little longer."

"They decided to go back very decisively."

"Well, that's normal."

Luo Zhen wasn't surprised by Sakata Gintoki's quick arrival and departure.

"If it weren't for the fact that I accidentally damaged Yato's shrine and incurred a debt."

"And Yato was keeping a very close watch on him, so he had already slipped away."

Although he kept saying things like, "How could someone as trustworthy as Gintoki renege on a debt? My Yorozuya relies on honesty," "If I didn't have honesty, I would have gone hungry long ago," and "Our Yorozuya's main business is honesty, and our customers have always been very satisfied with our service," he never actually said anything.

He even offered to pass on the business skills he learned from the Nami aliens to Yato if needed.

But perhaps they sensed a kindred spirit in the other person.

Therefore, Yato was always very wary of Sakata Gintoki.

This smell.

It smells like poverty!

That's right, this guy is definitely just like me...

Pooh.

No, I'm rich now, I'm rich and I have a shrine to the gods!

That颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of listlessness, apathy, and apath

Everything is proving one thing.

That is, this guy is definitely someone who has been living in poverty for many years.

Moreover, there is a high possibility that they will default on their debts.
