Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"Fight back?! Run!"

"A bunch of ordinary people! How dare they shoot at me!"

Chaos erupted inside the church; some wanted to fight back, while others wanted to escape.

If things continue like this, defeat is only a matter of time.

Crimson superpowers raged wildly within the church, but those who fell were always on their side.

"Bastards! I'm going to kill you all!"

The man, whose arm had been grazed by a bullet, roared.

His superpowers seem to be stronger than others.

With bloodshot eyes, the man raised his hand and unleashed his superpowers on the special forces soldiers outside the door.

"Oh!"

A red hand struck the man on the back of the head from behind.

The man's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"This feeling is really uncomfortable."

With a flick of his wrist, Luo Zhen leaped into the group of superpowered individuals once more.

In a purely combat situation, before the task force arrived, there wouldn't be a single survivor left here except for Luo Zhen.

But the problem is that he needs to keep these people under control.

Therefore, he needs to control his power properly.

To borrow a phrase: It is difficult to control the power to crush ants rather than kill them.

Luo Zhen has a similar feeling now.

Soon, only Luo Zhen remained standing in the church.

"Oh, you're still here."

In a corner of the church, Nibutani Morika and Takanashi Rikka huddled together, shivering.

This person is terrifying!

Someone tried to control Luo Zhen with superpowers, but was kicked away and landed right next to the two of them.

What should we do next?

After bringing the special forces soldiers in, Sakata Gintoki asked.

Although the people have been captured, what should be done with their superpowers?

"Don't worry, they don't actually have their own superpowers."

Luo Zhen, who checked each person and finished them off, returned:

"Their superpowers were merely lent to them by Toichiro Suzuki, and he could take them back at any time if the other party wished."

Upon hearing this, Sakata Gintoki probably understood.

As for whether Suzuki Toichiro will cooperate in taking back his superpowers?

If he doesn't cooperate, just force him to take it back.

As Sakata Gintoki had predicted, the group of people who had been lucky enough to gain superpowers soon returned to being ordinary people.

"Knew it."

Looking at her own hands, Nissouya Morika breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although it sounds strange, she was truly relieved now that she had lost this superpower that didn't belong to her.

'but....'

Nibutani Morika glanced furtively at the dejected Takanashi Rikka beside her, her face filled with worry.

Chapter 268 Goodnight, sweet dreams

Silently crouching in the corner, Rikka Takanashi stared blankly at her hands.

Because they were very cooperative, the special task force soldiers did not take any harsh measures against the two girls who had lost their superpowers.

"Are you alright, Rikka?"

Moving closer to Rikka Toriyuki, Niyutani Morika asked cautiously.

The hint of disappointment in the other person's eyes made her very worried.

Shaking her head, Rikka Takanashi indicated that she was fine.

Actually, it's not that nothing happened at all.

She originally accepted superpowers with a small, unrealistic fantasy.

She longed to see her father again.

Her father's sudden departure was difficult for her to accept.

She knew that superpowers probably couldn't do that, but she still held onto a sliver of hope—it was better than nothing.

But now that hope has been dashed.

That's true, after all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Hugging her knees, Rikka Takanashi kept comforting herself.

But the more you try to comfort me, the more painful it becomes.

She knew that her ideas were a bit too willful and had caused her sister a lot of trouble.

but.....

"It's okay, Rikka, I'm here for you."

Mistaking Rikka Takanashi for being afraid of the special forces soldiers, Morika Nibuya gently patted her back and said.

Actually, she was quite scared herself.

It's like a child being naturally scared when the police come to their door, even if they haven't done anything wrong.

Moreover, Nissougu Senxia and the others did do more than just sit idly by.

She didn't know what would happen next.

"...Um!"

Feeling Nibutani Morinaka's hand trembling slightly, Takanashi Rikka nodded firmly after a two-second silence, and then grasped Nibutani Morinaka's hand.

After experiencing the rise and fall of hope, she seemed to have matured a bit.

At least they're not completely immersed in their own world anymore.

"You two..."

"what!"

"I'm so sorry to have caused you trouble!"

Seeing the two reacting too excitedly, Luo Zhen, still in his transformed state, scratched his head, but unfortunately could only scratch the hard armor.

'Did they misunderstand something?'

Turning his head, Luo Zhen looked at Sakata Gintoki with some confusion.

Even through the mask, Sakata Gintoki still sensed Rozen's meaning.

Hey, where did this team voice chat come from?

Why can I feel your gaze even through your mask?

Sakata Gintoki, internally ranting and raving, gave Rozen a look.

'I seem to have forgotten to explain to them that my memory was erased?'

Didn't you say so?

I thought you had said that.

. . . . .

Well, the two of them accidentally made a blunder.

Let me explain it to you.

With a sigh, Luo Zhen squatted down a short distance in front of the two and said.

For Nibutani Morika and Takanashi Rikka, Luo Zhen was a complete stranger, and getting too close might cause them fear.

"Simply put, this memory will be erased from your minds, and you will return to your daily lives."

Luo Zhen said succinctly.

This is how most of the people who were given superpowers were dealt with.

However, only a few will be treated differently.

For example, that cadre genuinely followed Suzuki Toichiro and had already used his superpowers to commit crimes.

There are a few others that are similar.

They haven't decided how to handle it yet.

However, it's highly likely that they'll be sent to make some contribution to human development.

"Ok."

Hearing this, Nissouya Morika finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the best solution for her.

After that, she remained an ordinary high school student and was able to continue her daily life.

so good.

Thinking of this, Dansheng Valley Senxia couldn't help but let out a long breath.

She thought her future life would slid in a completely unpredictable direction.

Although those light novels are written in a wonderful way, she can't guarantee that she will be the protagonist.

But what she didn't notice was that Rikka Takanashi, standing beside her, was pursing her lips and staring intently at Ryouma.

The little fist clenched and unclenched, unclenched and clenched again.

Luo Zhen also noticed that Takanashi Rikka seemed to want to say something but hesitated, but he didn't make any comment and just continued talking about the next steps.

In the end, Rikka Takanashi gave up.

His clenched fist loosened weakly, and even the tuft of hair on his head drooped listlessly.

She really wanted to ask Luo Zhen if there was any possibility that her wish could come true.

But she didn't know how to start the conversation, or what to say after she did.

After all, we're not related, so why should I help her?

Moreover, she is not alone now; she has a friend who genuinely cares about her.

"What's wrong, Rikka?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

Shaking her head, Rikka Takanashi said somewhat dejectedly.

Although I know there's nothing I can do about it, I still feel down.

Actually, it's quite impressive that Rikka Takanashi, a girl who has just started high school, can control her impulses.

Soon, the two were taken away for memory erasure.

Watching Rikka's retreating figure, Rōzō raised a finger.

A wisp of purple desire flowed silently from between his fingers and then disappeared into the air.

As Rikka Takanashi walked away with her back to Ryouma, a flash of purple appeared in her eyes before quickly disappearing.
