Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Looks like I'm going to be busy today.

With a sigh, Luo Zhen lay down on the table and closed his eyes to rest.

In another classroom, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been carrying an oil lamp with him all morning, gradually lost his resistance to the oil lamp.

And I decided to try making a wish during my lunch break.

Just as Luo Zhen had guessed, today's work will be very busy.

Chapter 335 I Make a Wish...

During lunch break, Hachiman Hikigaya ran up to the rooftop with his schoolbag in his arms.

Such behavior undoubtedly attracted the attention of some people.

Saki Yoshida is 16 years old and just started high school.

Because she wanted to say goodbye to her gloomy and insecure self after starting high school, she changed her hairstyle and took off her glasses.

She worked very hard to learn how to communicate with people and to read fashion magazines that she wouldn't have paid attention to before.

So far, the results have been quite significant.

I've made a few close friends, even though I don't quite like some of their ways.

There was another boy who kept pursuing her.

Although it hasn't been long, she feels she's already almost fallen for him.

These are all things she couldn't have imagined in the past.

Sometimes she felt like she was living in a dream.

With light steps, Yoshida Saki walked down the corridor of the teaching building.

My steps felt as soft and yielding as walking on cotton.

Just as she was imagining tonight's activities, a gloomy boy carrying a backpack ran past her.

"That boy?"

Yoshida Saki subconsciously stopped and turned around to look at the boy.

Although she had never met him before, she could still sense his gloomy aura the moment their eyes met.

That was a trait she also had in junior high school.

Perhaps it's the surplus of what's considered a success that makes Yoshida Saki now pay more special attention to people who are similar to her in the past.

In the past, she probably wouldn't have paid much attention to this type of person.

After all, even I can't keep up with everything.

Staring blankly at the other person's back, Yoshida Saki opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

"Saki, what are you doing?"

"Didn't we agree to discuss tonight's activities?"

Two girls in their school uniforms, dressed in a nonchalant manner, stood at the end of the corridor and shouted loudly, completely disregarding the opinions of those around them.

"Ah, here we come."

Coming to her senses, Yoshida Saki jogged over to her companions.

Their plan was to go on an adventure at the abandoned construction site at midnight tonight.

Yes, it's the post that the little elf edited.

Sometimes, the world is just that wonderful.

Although she herself wasn't interested in this kind of thing, her friends were very interested.

In order to maintain this seemingly strong but actually fragile friendship, Yoshida Saki had no choice but to play along.

She knew in her heart that this friendship was wrong, but she still stubbornly chose to believe in her 'friend'.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who had just brushed past Yoshida Saki before, didn't think too much about it.

His attention was now completely focused on the oil lamp in the satchel in his arms.

Clutching his schoolbag, Hachiman Hikigaya ran all the way to the rooftop and casually closed the door behind him.

Although few people go up to this rooftop, we're just in case.

Taking the oil lamp out of his bag, Hachiman Hikigaya stared at the smooth surface of the lamp in a daze for a moment.

Is it an illusion?

I feel like the oil lamp has changed in some way since yesterday.

Looking at the oil lamp, Hachiman Hikigaya tried hard to find a way to describe it.

"Like the difference between a roadside replica and an antique?"

Hachiman Hikigaya said somewhat uncertainly.

If the oil lamp that was first found was like a product manufactured on a modern mechanized production line...

Today's oil lamps have a touch of ancient craftsmanship.

Frowning, Hachiman Hikigaya tried hard to recall what had happened from noon yesterday until the beginning of today.

He couldn't think of anything strange.

"Give it a try."

Taking a deep breath, Hachiman Hikigaya reached out and wiped the oil lamp.

The scene that we witnessed yesterday has occurred again.

Blue smoke mixed with specks of light sprayed out from the lamp nozzle.

A muscular, blue-skinned man emerged from the smoke, arms outstretched.

Good afternoon, young man. Have you decided on your wish?

With his arms crossed, the genie looked down at him and spoke.

It was as if they were completely unaware of Hachiman Hikigaya's repeated attempts to discard him yesterday.

Or rather, it doesn't matter.

Perhaps this isn't a big deal in his eyes?

Or perhaps Hachiman Hikigaya's actions were irrelevant to him.

"Does what you said before still stand?"

With lifeless, dead fish eyes staring at the genie, Hachiman Hikigaya's expression revealed no emotion.

Despite his inner turmoil, Hachiman Hikigaya remained rational.

The genie, arms crossed, slightly raised his chin and said:

"of course."

"That...."

Opening his mouth, Hachiman Hikigaya calmly stated his wish.

After lunch break, Hachiman Hikigaya returned to his seat with a stern face.

With slightly trembling hands, he haphazardly stuffed his schoolbag into the desk drawer.

At first, he tried to stuff it in several times but couldn't. Later, Hachiman Hikigaya used a lot of force and finally managed to stuff the backpack in.

The table legs made a screeching sound as they rubbed against the floor.

Hachiman Hikigaya maintained a calm expression on the surface, but in reality, he was panicking terribly.

He always felt that the whole class was watching him, staring at his hand, which was still under the desk, with inquisitive eyes.

Fortunately, it was just an illusion.

Pretending to be calm, Hachiman Hikigaya pulled his hand out from under the table and took a deep breath.

He just wished that the genie would give him wealth.

He had only intended to test it out, but unexpectedly, the genie actually gave him a large sum of money.

Of course, it's in my bank card.

As his wish came true, Hachiman Hikigaya felt something being pulled out of him.

Although it is very faint, it does exist.

After that, the genie put on a regretful expression and said:

"Although I can now fulfill my wishes, my abilities are still insufficient."

"If I recover more of my abilities, I can give you more money."

This amount of money was a large sum for Hachiman Hikigaya, a child from an ordinary family.

But in the eyes of the genie, it was just a small amount of money.

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya knew that the 'price' had arrived.

He didn't believe that this guy was truly without desires and existed only to fulfill his wishes.

"My abilities will gradually recover as my wishes are fulfilled, and then I will be able to fulfill even greater wishes."

"I can save your last two wishes for you."

At this point, Hachiman Hikigaya understood.

This guy wants to drag more people down with him.

That's right, it's about dragging someone down with you.

At least in Hachiman Hikigaya's mind, that's the word.

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't quite hear what was said after that; his thoughts were very simple.

We need to find a way to get rid of this oil lamp.

As Hachiman Hikigaya stared at the table, he thought that his gaze seemed to penetrate the table and reach the oil lamp in his schoolbag.

"Midnight tonight? Looks like I'm in for a busy night."

Looking at the posts on the forum, Luo Zhen touched his hair with a touch of melancholy.

If this continues, won't my hairline recede?

Rubbing his eyes, the good student Luo Zhen began to catch up on sleep during class time.

Chapter 336 The stage has been set up

With unwavering perseverance and a yearning for the life of a stay-at-home dad, Hachiman Hikigaya persisted until the end of get out of class without using his last two wishes.

They didn't reveal this matter to anyone.

At least for now, he has been able to maintain rational and calm thinking.

But it’s hard to say what will happen after that.

These kinds of anomalous items are dangerous not just because they possess great power.

More importantly, because they can subtly change the holder's thoughts and even personality.

Only after all the students in the classroom had left did Hachiman Hikigaya, looking dazed, slowly stand up, clutching his schoolbag.

"Are you going back tonight?"

Standing at the school gate, Hachiman Hikigaya hesitated for a moment.

He was really worried about bringing this thing home.

Although there was no direct evidence, he always felt that the genie wouldn't just disappear if left unattended.

He was convinced that the guy had slipped away unnoticed and then lured someone else away.

"Hello, is this Komachi?"
