Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

And later he also gave her this ability.

Since her father's death, Rikka Takanashi has been immersed in her own fantasy world all day long.

Even though she knew it was fake, she still refused to wake up.

The more someone tries to prove the existence of superpowers, the more certain they are that superpowers don't exist.

They become increasingly trapped in their own fantasies, unwilling to face reality.

Now, a man has suddenly appeared, proving through his actions that superpowers are not just a figment of imagination.

Rikka Takanashi accepted this power almost without much thought.

As for Nibutani Morika? She came along because she was worried about Takanashi Rikka.

She was usually very worried about this friend who seemed a bit dull, but was actually quite adorable.

I wish I could handle everything for her, down to the smallest detail.

But she knew it was impossible, so she could only keep an eye on Rikka Takanashi and offer help when needed.

When Rikka Takanashi exhibited unusual behavior, she was the first to notice the anomaly.

Due to the special circumstances at the time, she could only go with Rikka Takanashi for the time being.

And that's how it turned out.

'Something just doesn't look right!'

Looking at the group of people around her, dressed in uniforms and with expressions of fanaticism and arrogance, Nissouya Morika felt like she was about to cry.

Is this some kind of missionary activity?

He inexplicably gained superpowers that many people dream of, and then was taken to this place that resembles a church.

It's like something out of a light novel.

She admitted that the man's abilities were terrifying, and his ability to grant others superpowers was also impressive.

But this looks like something really big is about to happen!

As a girl who has graduated from her second year of middle school and whose thinking is gradually maturing, Nissouya Morika knows very well that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Every action a person takes is driven by desires or needs.

Here is a brief explanation of a theory: Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

This theory divides human needs into five levels.

The first level is physiological needs, the second level is safety needs, the third level is love and belonging needs, the fourth level is esteem needs, and the fifth level is self-actualization needs.

If it's the first level, then the other person's behavior is simply lust, which is obviously wrong.

As for the rest...

It's all about pursuing a higher status, more wealth, and a more stable sense of security.

Whatever he pursues, it's not something these two ordinary high school students should be involved in!

"Don't panic, Forest Maiden, the Evil King's True Eye will guide us to that invisible boundary."

Rikka Takanashi, her face also covered in cold sweat, forced herself to speak.

She's just a bit naive, not stupid.

After Nissutani Morika's analysis, she quickly understood the reasoning behind it.

But they don't have any good solutions for the current situation.

The superpowers of the people around them were no weaker than theirs, so they had no choice but to hide for now.

"Where is the leader?"

"It seems the leader has gone to another city."

"That's it."

The whispers of the people around him caught Tanyu Senxia's eye.

If the leader isn't around, then they still have a chance!

Although she claims to have graduated from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), Nibutani Morika occasionally fantasizes about her 'glorious days' when she is alone, and then rolls around on the bed covering her face because she is too ashamed.

After a thorough analysis, Nissouya Morika had already devised an escape plan.

All we need to do is create some chaos, and then we can run away with Rikka!

It was a very rudimentary and impractical plan, but it was the best solution that Nibutani Morika could come up with under these circumstances.

"Mori's..."

"Don't speak!"

"Covering Rikka Takanashi's mouth with my hand," Nissouya Morika whispered.

Even after gaining superpowers, she didn't have the same chuunibyou (delusional) tendencies as before, and she still felt very uncomfortable with being called Rikka Takanashi.

Furthermore, the red-haired man explained to them that it was to activate their pre-existing superpowers.

But Nissou Tani Morika always felt that something was wrong.

If it were someone else, it wouldn't be a problem, but this person always gave her a very strange feeling.

Let me go back to my normal campus life!

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu roared inwardly.

If it weren't for Rikka Takanashi, she would definitely stay far away from such a situation and wouldn't even have the thought of getting close.

Although superpowers are great, she really doesn't want them.

After all, in the movies and TV shows she watched, most people with superpowers didn't have very good lives in real life.

At night, they uphold justice and fight crime.

During the day, they worry about rent and may lose their jobs due to sleep deprivation caused by their nighttime activities.

This isn't the life she wanted!

Some might say, "You clearly have the ability, don't you want to change anything?"

She's just an ordinary high school student; where would she get such high awareness?

Moreover, those who say such things are often incompetent people.

"Listen to me, here's my plan."

After glancing around warily, Nibuya Morika leaned in and whispered her plan into Takanashi Rikka's ear.

To prevent being overheard, she even used her superpowers to cover it up.

The clumsy movements took several attempts before it was finally successful.

But instead, she was met with a look of utter disbelief from Rikka Takanashi, as if she were an idiot.

Even she could tell that the plan was unreliable.

Let's not even talk about how it caused the disturbance.

How do you plan to slip away quietly with so many superpowered people around?

"What can I do? In the end, it's all because of you!"

Enraged, Niyuuya Morinaka punched Takanashi Rikka on the head twice.

Don't they even think about who's really responsible for this?

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Just as Nibutani Morika was frantically attacking Takanashi Rikka's head, a man with a scar on his face stepped forward and cleared his throat.

Upon seeing this man, the group of lucky individuals obediently shut their mouths.

Looking at the quiet crowd, the man nodded in satisfaction, and then began to describe the grand vision of their organization.

"Did everyone remember that?"

"I remember."

An unfamiliar voice rang out, followed by the sound of shattering glass.

Chapter 266 Shall we have a party? Count me in!

A few minutes earlier, Luo Zhen and his special task force had arrived at the church.

"A Catholic church, no wonder it's so desolate."

Looking up at the cross above, Luo Zhen sighed.

The Catholic Church, which has many followers all over the world, has very few followers in Japan.

Let's not even mention those who don't believe in religion or supernatural beings.

In Japan, a large percentage of religious believers are Buddhists, accounting for 80% of all religious believers. Less than 20% are Shintoists, and less than 1% are Catholics or Christians.

There are far fewer Muslims than Catholics and Christians.

Under these circumstances, the Catholic Church's situation in Japan was naturally not very good.

Having a church is a very good thing.

It's perfectly normal for things to be neglected.

If no one inherits it, it will naturally fall into disuse.

Perhaps it was an accident, or perhaps it was for some other reason.

Luo Zhen didn't really want to consider these things.

There are too many unfortunate things and painful tragedies in this world.

If you see him, he'll lend a hand, but if you try to help with everything, your life will become a mess.

"I'll leave things outside to you, Ah Yin."

"Put it on me."

The wooden Lake Toya leaned gently against his shoulder, and Sakata Gintoki patted his chest as he spoke.

He glanced at the information about the people here.

Some people were simply tricked into coming here.

Some people are cynical and always feel that the whole world has wronged them.

I feel the world is too cruel, and I feel very wronged.

Others are of the bad kind.

Most of them are not very old; those over thirty are considered relatively old.

"Ah Yin, I really hate bratty kids."

Sakata Gintoki really didn't have a good impression of these naughty kids who didn't study hard.

Their living conditions were much better than Sakata Gintoki's back then.

As a result, one or two of them still think the world is not a good place.

Throw them back to the battlefield where Sakata Gintoki once fought, and they'll know what a 'cruel world' is like.

Admittedly, some people are indeed unhappy with their lives and feel very miserable.

But most people hate this 'cruel world' either because they have less pocket money or because the girl in the next class has a boyfriend.

Are you guys kidding me?

Rubbing his throbbing temples, Sakata Gintoki finally understood why Rozen had been so perfunctory when looking at the information.

If you look at this closely, you'll get really angry.

"Then I'll go in first."

Luo Zhen pulled out a few core coins from behind his back, and hesitated for a moment.

His mission was to take these people away and erase their memories.
