Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Chapter 210 Self-pity is utterly useless

Amidst the crowd, Eriri walked home alone, looking lost and dejected.

She should have been in the art club at this time, but recent events have left her with absolutely no interest in drawing.

She didn't know when it started, but she always felt like something was watching her from the corner.

Is it a human being?

uncertain.

What kind of small animal is it, like a stray cat?

impossible.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, Eriri could definitely sense the other party's malice.

This was the first time in Eriri's life that she had experienced what 'blatant malice' meant.

His gaze was undisguised, as if he wanted to dismember her.

Thinking of this, Eriri couldn't help but rub her arms.

It feels a bit cold.

If at first she could still convince herself that it was all an illusion.

What happened after that made it impossible for her to hypnotize herself.

At first, I just felt that something was watching me.

Later, it wasn't just a feeling anymore; it actually had a tangible impact on her.

Faint rustling sounds could be heard coming from the room at night.

The entire back of my body felt cool as I sat in the chair.

All of these things were stimulating Eriri's nerves.

I repeatedly told her that there really was something there.

Eriri did not hide this from her parents, and they took it very seriously afterward.

Eriri sometimes makes jokes, but this time she's serious.

But no matter what they did, they couldn't find it.

Eriri's mother, Sayuri Sawamura, contacted her father last night to ask if the Sawamura family knew anything about the inside story.

Eriri's father, however, seemed to have thought of something and, after leaving the room, began contacting his superior.

Eriri still trusted her authoritative father very much.

There is one point worth mentioning here.

That is, Eriri's father did not help sell the doujinshi.

After all, he was a diplomat.

Let alone selling notebooks, he can't even have any public connection with them.

If he gets caught selling notebooks, it won't just be him who suffers.

His boss was also unlucky.

After all, diplomats represent the face of the country they represent.

Eriri is able to happily draw whatever she wants thanks to the Sawamura family's help.

Although Grandpa Sawamura was also unhappy about the pig who had taken his black-hearted cabbage, he also cherished his lovely granddaughter Eriri very much.

Getting back to the main topic, this morning Mr. Sawamura told Eriri that she should go to school first and he would take care of the rest.

Last night's phone call with his boss gave him a general understanding of Eriri's current situation.

However, due to the special nature of his position, his superior indicated that he might need to work on this himself.

Actually, it doesn't matter what your status is to the government; it's just that the superior is overthinking it.

No matter who you are, you will be treated the same in anomalies.

"Seriously, why did it turn out like this?"

With her little schoolbag on her back, Eriri, in a terrible mood, started rambling on and on.

"I didn't do anything wrong, but one bad thing after another happened."

"First it was Aki Tomoya's lousy club, and now it's like this."

In her conversation, Eriri's way of addressing Aki Tomoya was no longer as intimate as before.

Eriri's parents had lost their affection for Aki Tomoya and had subtly hinted at it to her during a family dinner.

Eriri simply ate her dinner in silence, tacitly agreeing to the matter.

If Aki Tomoya were to show even the slightest sign of remorse or compensation after his falling out with Eriri, Eriri would be so self-reliant that she would effortlessly raise Eriri's affection level from 40 to 80.

Unfortunately, Aki Tomoya did not.

He always waits for others to create an opportunity before he will apologize.

Perhaps he was just too embarrassed or too shy to speak up, but in his heart he had already apologized countless times.

But this is exactly what many girls care about most, so what's the point if you don't say it?

Just like Eriri's self-conquest strategy.

Aside from moving herself, she can't move anyone else.

Apologizing in your heart can only make you feel a little better.

"Whoo~"

Just as Eriri was sulking, a gentle breeze brushed against the back of her neck.

Eriri, who had been muttering to herself, immediately shut up and turned around to look behind her with a look of horror.

But there was nothing behind her. Passersby gave her a strange look but then stopped paying attention.

"Illusion?"

Eriri was absolutely certain that it wasn't an illusion.

But now, this is all she can say to comfort herself.

Otherwise, she wouldn't know what she would become; people in a state of panic may do things that are beyond their expectations.

Some people will lose their ability to think and stand there dumbfounded.

Some people go mad, venting their inner fears.

Eriri shook her head, forcing herself not to think about these things.

"Was anything detected just now?"

At the street corner, a young man wearing large headphones asked his companion.

"Yes, it seems we can't escape this mission."

The man being asked the question stared intently at the tablet in his hand as he spoke.

After gesturing to his companion who was wearing headphones, he opened another page and began editing the report.

The man wearing headphones looked up and scanned his surroundings.

They did not specifically seek out a secluded location to send the report.

First of all, their positions were carefully selected.

On the other hand, sneaking around in a corner is obviously suspicious, isn't it?

After receiving the report, Luo Zhen, who was at the research institute, began packing his things with a sense of helplessness.

If possible, he hoped that there would be no abnormal creatures in the world.

That way, there won't be so many problems.

Perhaps he could become an urban time traveler and live a happy life.

But it's best to just think about it.

He has absolutely no desire for that so-called "real-life" lifestyle now.

You'd be better off going home and catching up on sleep.

"Is it about Sawamura-kun?"

As Luo Zhen finished packing his gear and prepared to leave, Elena asked him curiously.

"Yes, are you worried about her?"

"No, not at all."

Elena waved her hand and said.

She and Eriri Sawamura were completely unfamiliar with each other; their interactions at the Service Club were the only ones they knew each other.

The greatest kindness Elaina could show to a stranger was helping Eriri when she was feeling unwell.

"Actually, I'm more curious, do you really think you can use all this equipment?"

Pointing to the neatly equipped gear on Luo Zhen's body, Elena recalled the scene when she was captured by Luo Zhen.

Wasn't it completely useless?

"Just in case, there will always be a time when it comes in handy."

After inserting the memory-erasing spray into the buckle of his belt, Luo Zhen put on his beloved little helmet once again.

This helmet really saved him a lot of trouble.

Chapter 211 Familiar Scenes and Different People

At the Sawamura home, Sawamura Sayuri looked at Eriri, who seemed somewhat dazed, with heartache in her eyes.

Although she often teases Eriri and even mocks her mercilessly, it doesn't mean she doesn't care about Eriri.

On the contrary, it's precisely because she has a good relationship with Eriri that she plays like this.

"Eri, how are you feeling?"

Gently putting her arm around Eriri's shoulder, Sayuri Sawamura asked with concern.

Eriri rarely shows such a vulnerable expression; normally, even if she's feeling really sad, she'll put on an indifferent facade.

"Fortunately."

When Sayuri Sawamura placed her hand on Eriri's shoulder, Eriri's body visibly trembled.

If she hadn't known it was her mother, she might have jumped up immediately.

Seeing Eriri's forced smile, Sayuri Sawamura felt even more sorry for her.

Now all she can do is wait for news from her husband and father.

Although they had considered the old man's advanced age, Sayuri Sawamura and her husband discussed it for a while and decided not to tell him yet.

Otherwise, if the old man gets emotional, it will be bad for his health.

Unfortunately, the old man still found out. Don't ask him how he found out.

He is the true master of this Sawamura family.

As long as he is alive, he is the biggest one.

There's no news that can be kept from him in this family.

The agitated old man berated Sayuri and Mr. Sawamura mercilessly, and although the two had their own complaints, they could only listen.

On the one hand, the old man was genuinely worried about Eriri, which was why he was so agitated. On the other hand, they really didn't dare to have any opinions about the old man.

Especially Mr. Sawamura.

When Mr. Sawamura first met Mr. Sawamura's parents, he left a very deep psychological scar on Mr. Sawamura.
