Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

As a result, unexpected events occurred frequently.

"I'm so sorry." *2

Hiroshi Nohara and Shinnosuke Nohara, who had a bump on his head, said in unison.

These two idiots were so distracted by a beautiful woman that they almost drove their rented car onto the sidewalk.

Fortunately, Misae Nohara noticed in time and turned the steering wheel back.

Even so, it still caused quite a bit of unrest.

As a result, they were given a lecture by a patrol officer who happened to be passing by.

For example, when visiting the zoo, Shinnosuke Nohara inexplicably started communicating with the lions.

After a conversation between a man and a lion that no one else could understand, the lion became withdrawn.

It remained crouched in the corner, clutching its head with its paws.

Even the zookeeper, who was usually on the best side of the lion, couldn't calm the lion down after trying for a long time.

This is only a small part of the unexpected events they encountered; we won't go into the rest.

Although the pressure that had accumulated before has been released, new pressure has also accumulated.

Just as Nohara Misae was sighing, Nohara Shinnosuke started causing trouble again.

"Hello, miss, haven't we met somewhere before?"

Shinnosuke Nohara, leaning against the wall with one hand, struck a cool pose and spoke to a young woman passing by.

The young woman, Ran Mouri, looked at Shinnosuke Nohara with some surprise and said:

"Oh, yes, what's wrong, little one?"

Ran Mouri vaguely remembers Shinnosuke Nohara; he's the kid she met at the inn before.

"It's you again."

Before Nohara Shinnosuke could answer, Conan, who appeared out of nowhere, said with a displeased look.

He had a feeling something was off about this kid before, and now it seems he was right!

In a corner unknown to a group of people, several cameras were secretly observing them.

Not only the images, but even the sounds were recorded clearly.

In front of the screen displaying these images, a mature woman with short brown hair and a cool expression is intently observing Conan on the screen.

Despite being described as a mature woman, she actually looks no older than 18 or 9.

But her mature demeanor made it impossible to mistake her for someone under 20.

He casually took off his earphones and headed towards the door.

"Is Dr. Miyano no longer going to observe?"

"That's not necessary."

When asked questions by others, Shiho Miyano gave a casual reply.

If she were still working for the organization, she might be interested in Conan, the only survivor of APTX4869.

But after that organization was destroyed for touching things it shouldn't have, Shiho Miyano lost interest in the research.

To be precise, she wasn't very interested in the research at first.

After seeing a wider world, I became even less interested.

It's important to note that the Black Organization has already been wiped out.

The enemies Conan is wary of are so old that the grass on their graves is almost taller than him.

If they have graves.

Shiho Miyano believes that there is no such thing.

She still remembers the day the organization's experimental base was suddenly blown up, and before she could react, Gin next to her was thrown away.

This was accompanied by the line: "So your name is Gin?"

Since that day, the organization that had brought her endless darkness has become a speck of dust in history.

She was also recruited into the organization and continued to work there.

Although there is still a lot of research to do, the compensation is much better than before.

At the train station, Shinnosuke Nohara suddenly felt bored after hearing Ran's age.

"Oh, never mind."

"I'm only interested in mature, sexy older women who are 18 or older."

Seeing Shinnosuke Nohara's disgusted look, Ran Mouri suddenly felt her fists were about to burst out.

Misae Nohara quickly punched Shinnosuke Nohara and then apologized.

As for Hiroshi Nohara and Kogoro Mouri?

The two of them, for reasons unknown, realized it the moment they met.

This guy is the same type of guy as me.

The two chatted happily and even made a promise to go for drinks together when Hiroshi Nohara went to Tokyo on a business trip.

Hiroshi Nohara naturally agreed.

Previously, when he went to Tokyo on business trips, he would spend his nights alone in the hotel organizing documents.

The metropolitan atmosphere of Tokyo made him very uncomfortable, but it would be much better if he had a close friend there.

Returning our focus to the research institute—

"JOJO, how do you feel?"

Inside the laboratory, Joseph was fully activating the Ripple within his body, the Hermit Purple on his arm swinging wildly.

In another room, Dr. Samuel was observing Joseph through a transparent glass panel.

The instruments at hand were also displaying Joseph's various bodily functions in real time.

It's worth mentioning that although this glass looks fragile, it is actually very strong.

Currently, no containment object within the research facility has been able to break through these windows.

"No, I can't feel it at all."

Joseph did not reply immediately after hearing Dr. Samuel's words.

After a few more seconds of observation, he responded.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Joseph withdrew the Hermit Purple aura surrounding him.

Previously, after discussing the possibility of Stand evolution, namely Requiem, with Dr. Samuel, Joseph volunteered to undergo some experiments.

He wanted to determine whether the Requiem was the power hidden within the Stand or the power of the arrow.

Because he had never actually experienced that power, Joseph himself was unsure.

If it's a power that the Stand originally possessed, he hopes to master it beforehand, rather than having to rely on arrows to obtain it in a critical moment.

"That's it."

Dr. Samuel looked at the instruments in the room and pondered.

Actually, his area of ​​expertise wasn't suitable for leading this experiment, but there was no other way.

He has to lead this level of experiment.

"You should rest for a while."

Dr. Samuel spoke to Joseph through the microphone while the researchers were analyzing the data.

Joseph nodded, walked to the side, sat down, and began to recover his strength.

While this experiment has not yet yielded any groundbreaking progress, it has helped Joseph better control his strength.

Furthermore, Joseph had a little idea that he hadn't shared with anyone else.

After organizing the information left by Polnareff, Giorno mentioned that while the arrow activates the Requiem, it also determines the power of the Requiem based on the user's inner desires.

If that's the case, Joseph hopes to use the mechanisms to set his inner desires in order to ensure that the power of Requiem aligns with his wishes.

Chapter 216 Consecrated Ritual Artifacts

While Joseph was undergoing the experiment, Rōjin was also conducting another experiment.

However, the difference is that Joseph is being studied, while Rōjin is being studied.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Holding a rather grotesque-looking object in his hand, Luo Zhen spoke expressionlessly to Tomie in front of him.

Tomie, huddled in the corner, glared resentfully at Luo Zhen, but dared not show it too obviously.

She looks just like a wronged young wife.

Unfortunately, Tomie is not a gentle and docile wife.

He is a demon in human skin.

But in front of Luo Zhen, this demon who takes human lives for amusement appears so weak.

First, we need to understand one thing.

Although Tomie is very strange, putting aside her abilities, she is no different from an ordinary high school student.

Tomie is terrifying partly because of her ability to 'regenerate from a drop of blood'.

As long as there is a single drop of blood or even a single hair, Tomie can grow from every corner.

And there's more than one.

Secondly, Tomie's eerie and seductive abilities can gradually control men by guiding their desires, leading them into the abyss.

But for Luo Zhen...

What did you say you were going to use to control a 'King of Greed'?

Although Luo Zhen is not the same person from hundreds of years ago, he is not someone that Tomie can control.

It's like, have you ever seen a Jonin get beaten up by a Genin?

what?

From Konoha?

That's fine.

Getting back to the main point, Luo Zhen now planned to use Tomie to do a small test on the thing in his hand.

Why does this thing make me feel dangerous?

Looking at the ribbon in Luo Zhen's hand, Tomie roared inwardly.

She wasn't unfamiliar with this thing.

Although she never uses it herself, many men will willingly wear it for her.

"Hurry up and open your mouth!"

Luo Zhen said somewhat impatiently, while extending the strap in his hand a little further.

'Potentially blessed/consecrated gags'

That's what Luo really calls this thing.

It consists of two strips of cloth and a sphere carved from a ruby.

Sometimes it is used for severe torture, which is similar to the concept of stuffing a rag into the mouth in TV dramas.

As for why it was carved from a ruby ​​and blessed,

It might be a toy belonging to some Buddhist master who went into business.

After all, in this day and age, those great Buddhist masters are not only profound in their Buddhist teachings.
