Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

This is very similar to the Aladdin's lamp that Hachiman Hikigaya knew.

So he prejudicially identified the other person with the role of the genie in Aladdin's lamp.

On the other hand, it might be due to the genie himself.

"Yes, you can understand it that way."

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, the genie quickly switched the language to Japanese, which Hachiman Hikigaya could understand.

It's just a language; it's nothing to him.

He didn't actually know anything about Aladdin's lamp, but since he could make this human believe him, he figured it wouldn't hurt to borrow that name.

"Do you have any wishes that you need me to fulfill?"

Stroking his chin, the blue genie raised his jaw slightly and asked.

The arrogance that he inadvertently revealed calmed Hachiman Hikigaya down a bit.

Although he hadn't heard the story of Aladdin's lamp for many years, he still keenly sensed something was amiss.

My previously fiery and restless heart calmed down a little.

This performance earned Hachiman Hikigaya a higher opinion from the genie.

I initially thought it was just an ordinary human, but it turns out it has some decent qualities.

But that’s it.

"What do I need to give up if I want to make a wish?"

As if possessed, Hachiman Hikigaya asked the question.

He regretted asking as soon as he did.

That's not how you should ask it!

If the other person is really that kind of problematic person, why would they tell me the truth?

As Hachiman Hikigaya expected, the genie laughed heartily:

"Of course, you don't need to pay any price. You just need to state your wish."

"I will grant your wish."

With his lips pursed, Hachiman Hikigaya was momentarily at a loss for words.

He now desperately hopes that he's overthinking things and that the genie is perfectly fine.

But his regained senses told him that this guy was definitely suspicious.

My behavior became very strange after I saw the oil lamp at noon, completely contrary to my usual code of conduct.

Hachiman Hikigaya opened his mouth, wanting to say a lot, but in the end, he said nothing.

"I haven't decided yet, can we wait a bit?"

Scratching the back of his head, Hachiman Hikigaya chuckled somewhat awkwardly.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, he didn't know what to say or what his wishes were.

He was also a little uneasy about making a wish like that.

"Okay, remember to call me when you've made up your mind. I'm always here."

With a shrug, the genie transformed into a wisp of blue smoke and retreated back into the oil lamp.

The small room returned to silence.

Looking at the oil lamp on the bed, Hachiman Hikigaya's expression shifted between light and shadow.

After hesitating for a moment, he stuffed the oil lamp into his schoolbag.

"Komachi, I'm going out for a bit. I might not be back for dinner."

"Okay~ Alright."

Komachi responded, her face clearly showing her reluctance.

If you're living alone, Hachiman Hikigaya probably wouldn't have so many concerns.

But he lives with his sister.

The timely return of rational intelligence was partly due to the existence of Komachi.

Hachiman Hikigaya, carrying his schoolbag, wandered aimlessly through the streets.

I was just thinking that I shouldn't leave this thing at home, but after going out, I didn't know where to go.

My previously calmed heart began to stir again.

'Let's give it a try, what if they don't mean any harm?'

"Ultimately, the idea that there's something wrong with this oil lamp is just your imagination; there's absolutely no concrete evidence."

Don't always assume the worst of others.

A jumble of thoughts once again filled Hachiman Hikigaya's mind.

As an ordinary person, it is already quite commendable that he was able to remain calm and not make a wish immediately.

But under the unseen influence of a mysterious force, his once calm mind began to become chaotic.

"Sorry, please move aside."

A crisp sound rang out behind him, and a familiar figure ran past Hachiman Hikigaya without turning his head.

Staring blankly at that back, Hachiman Hikigaya's back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He was now quite certain that there was something wrong with the oil lamp.

Giving that departing figure a grateful look, Hachiman Hikigaya also started running.

Chapter 333 The Little Elf by the Bedside

The next morning, a tired-looking Hachiman Hikigaya walked into the classroom.

He tried many methods yesterday but couldn't get rid of the oil lamp.

No matter what he does, the oil lamp will always be by his bedside, unless he carries it with him at all times.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who was worried about leaving the oil lamp at home, decided to take it with him after much deliberation.

Although this would make him very uneasy.

With a heavy head, Hachiman Hikigaya listlessly slumped onto the table and soon drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Luo Zhen was blocked at the entrance of Class A by Kotobuki Tsumugi.

The word "traffic jam" may be an exaggeration, but that's how many people perceive it.

"Luo Zhen, are you going to the Light Music Club after school this afternoon?"

Looking at Kotobuki Tsumugi's expectant face, Rozen calmly replied:

"Sorry, not today."

Faced with the beautiful girl looking at him expectantly, Luo Zhen delivered the most resolute rejection in the calmest tone.

He's not bragging, but he's encountered at least 50 to 100 beautiful girls who look at him with such pitiful eyes.

His heart was colder than that of someone who had been killing fish at RT-Mart for ten years.

He remained completely unmoved by the mere gaze of a beautiful young girl.

"Ok."

Seeing Luo Zhen's resolute expression, Kotobuki Tsumugi finally gave in.

After spending so much time with him, Kotobuki Tsumugi knew that once Rōzō decided to do something, it would be very difficult for him to change his mind.

Although persistently pestering him might change his mind, it would also drastically lower her own standing in Luo Zhenxin's eyes.

"Then, maybe next time."

"Next time, definitely next time."

Finally, under Kotobuki Tsumugi's relentless pressure, Luo Zhen once again uttered that classic line.

Normally, people who say that might not do it again.

The same goes for Luo Zhen.

Back in the classroom, before Luo Zhen could even warm up his chair, he heard Aki Tomoya muttering to himself.

"That's strange, I clearly remember charging properly last night."

"And did I look at this website last night?"

Is there something wrong with my memory?

Aki Tomoya, holding his phone, also fell into a state of self-isolation.

He clearly remembered that his phone was connected to the charging cable last night, but just now he found that his phone only had 50% battery left.

Moreover, after opening the phone, I found that many web pages were open in the background.

But he was clearly busy writing game reviews last night, so he barely looked at his phone at all.

Could it be that his memory has deteriorated to this extent?

Speaking of which, he's been forgetting what he did in the morning lately. Could that be the reason?

Actually, this memory problem is easy to explain. Aki Tomoya can go back and check how much paper he has used recently to find out why.

"Wow, what are you looking at, Aki?"

"How disgusting, I feel nauseous."

Two boys who happened to be passing by couldn't help but comment after seeing the picture on Aki Tomoya's phone.

While this behavior is indeed unethical, the content on Aki Tomoya's phone was also quite sensational.

Calling it bloody and violent is an exaggeration.

Seeing this thing so unexpectedly was quite exciting.

"How would I know? I never look at this stuff."

Coming to his senses, Aki Tomoya quickly turned his phone screen off and placed it face down on the table.

Actually, those things were quite to his liking; they were all rare items that were hard to find even if you wanted to.

This is also why Aki Tomo wasn't particularly angry or conflicted.

It's probably just as exciting as a guy waking up in the morning to find he has an extra website.

'I'll look at it when I get back.'

Aki Tomoya, whose eyes were somewhat unfocused, also thought of this.

"Then why are these things on your phone?"

"Yes."

The two boys clearly didn't believe it.

We came over and saw you looking at this, and then you tell me you didn't look at it?

Isn't this like someone carrying a knife claiming they're harmless?

"I do not know either."

Aki Tomoya immediately began to complain bitterly.

She said she had never seen these websites before, but found these strange websites on her phone when she woke up in the morning.

And the phone battery is low.

If nothing else was missing from the house and his phone wasn't still there, he might have thought a thief had broken in.

Listening to Aki Tomoya's rambling, the two boys shrugged and remained silent.

Clearly, they did not believe Aki Tomoya's words.

No matter how frantically Aki Tomoya tried to explain, the two of them just smiled at him the whole time.
