Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

She usually arrives at school right on time, since she doesn't get much sleep.

Before leaving, she carefully checked herself to make sure she didn't have dark circles under her eyes.

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya, who exuded the same weariness as herself, Saki Kawasaki felt a strange sense of relief.

It was as if they had found their own kind.

(They're all siscon fans, aren't they?)

Before class started, the two chatted for a bit.

During their casual conversation, Hachiman Hikigaya keenly noticed the weariness in Saki Kawasaki's words.

"Actually, I'm still very sleepy."

Casually changing the subject, Hachiman Hikigaya deliberately feigned a listless expression as he spoke.

"Even though I slept for a while, I'm still really tired."

"Take a nap after class."

He didn't actually want to sleep, but he said it anyway.

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya's somewhat unfocused gaze, Saki Kawasaki didn't point it out, but continued talking along the same lines:

"Yes, I'll take a nap too."

In another classroom, a good student had already fallen asleep on his desk.

"It seems like Luo Zhen has been very busy lately?"

Sakura Kono said, tapping her chin, with some uncertainty.

Although Luo Zhen has looked like this since the beginning of the school year, he seems even more tired lately.

"Maybe, I've been very busy with work lately."

Sakamoto, leaning against the window, adjusted his glasses and spoke.

He was actually a little puzzled, since Luo Zhen's workload had been relatively light lately.

It's much easier than before.

However, Luo Zhen appeared even more exhausted than before.

This is actually easy to answer.

Because of the things that Luo Zhen has been encountering lately, he has been feeling very upset.

Luo Zhen never inquires about the tragic stories behind ordinary people who are involved in abnormal events.

He was also reluctant to investigate the reasons behind those unusual creatures.

This kind of thing will only make you feel bad.

That's what Luo really thinks.

But a series of recent events have been making him feel uneasy.

For example, he saw the theory of lifespan in Brook.

This made him not want to think about it anymore.

"Snapped!"

The hand that was on the back of his head slid down and slammed onto the table. Luo Zhen stared at Hachiman Hikigaya with the same dead fish eyes and raised his head.

"I'm just a little sleepy."

As he spoke, Luo Zhen let out a long yawn.

He definitely didn't sleep well last night.

The reason is probably just insomnia.

'Judging by the time, it should be about time, right?'

Looking out the window, Luo Zhen thought to himself.

Last night he took a bag of powder from some thugs and then handed it over to the relevant authorities.

Some evidence and photos were also included.

He collected them all while sending those people back.

He didn't really understand the purpose behind keeping evidence of his crimes at home.

But it doesn’t matter.

The fate of this group was already sealed.

Just as Luo Zhen had expected, none of the students from last night came to class this morning.

Including Saki Yoshida.

They were all taken away for investigation.

Evidence was found in the homes of some people on the spot.

Yoshida Saki was a little better off because she had only recently met those people.

The first person arrested also stated during his confession that Yoshida Saki was not involved in the incident.

The accounts of the others were largely the same.

Saki Yoshida was taken for testing, and after being told there was no problem, she was given a lecture and then sent home.

However, this was a very significant event for the Yoshida family.

After returning home, Yoshida Saki was bombarded with questions by her parents for a long time. Once they confirmed that everything was alright...

The mixed doubles event has begun.

"All you do is fool around outside! Look at the kind of friends you keep!"

Enraged, Yoshida's mother chased Yoshida Saki around the house with a stick.

Saki Yoshida, who was already extremely frightened, was almost killed by her enraged mother.

Finally, under strong pressure from Yoshida's mother, Yoshida Saki sealed away or threw away all her so-called fashionable accessories.

At the same time, he promised himself that he would never make friends with shady people again.

In fact, even if Yoshida's mother hadn't made that demand of her, Yoshida Saki probably wouldn't have had the courage to play around recklessly.

After all, at the police station, in order to educate this husky who had wandered into the wolf pack, the officers laid out all the dirty secrets of that group in front of Yoshida Saki.

It was only then that Yoshida Saki realized what kind of people she was befriending.

"Thank goodness."

Lying on the bed, Yoshida Saki sighed with lingering fear.

Why are you lying down?

Because my buttocks were swollen from being spanked.

I'll probably have to take the next few days off.

Judging from Yoshida Saki's behavior, she seems to have completely forgotten what happened last night.

Neither the glass slipper nor the crazy companion seems to have appeared.

Just then, from the abandoned construction site from last night, a little girl with bandages around her eyes and long silver-white hair emerged from a pile of discarded debris.

The long hair that reached her knees should have been smooth and silky, but because it hadn't been cared for, it looked like weeds.

".....strangeness?"

Wrapping her somewhat tattered clothes tighter around herself, the girl nervously explored her surroundings.

This doesn't seem to be where she usually lives.

The unfamiliar environment made her feel extremely uneasy.

Is it an illusion?

do not know.

"Sister, where is this?"

A thin little girl crawled out from behind the blind girl and asked timidly.

The crimson pupils looked incredibly eerie in the sunlight.

".....have no idea."

After a moment of silence, the blind girl spoke helplessly.

The immense pressure nearly broke her, and the unfamiliar environment could very well be the final straw.

Beside the girl, a begging bowl and a board were particularly eye-catching.

The sign read, "I am the cursed child of the outer zone."

Sitting in the abandoned factory, the two small, thin figures looked extremely helpless.

Chapter 344 Some people's mouths should be sewn shut

In the abandoned factory, two girls huddled helplessly in a corner of the factory building.

Putting aside the blind older sister, sunshine is something that the younger sister has been missing for a long time.

As cursed children, sewers and dark corners are their best hiding places.

The same goes for her younger sister.

Having spent years hiding in dark corners, those eerie red eyes now felt slightly uncomfortable seeing sunlight.

"Sister, what should we do?"

I woke up to find myself in an unfamiliar place, and all my familiar companions were gone.

If it weren't for her older sister, she doesn't know what would have become of her.

The older sister, who was being questioned, lowered her head and remained silent.

In her younger sister's eyes, her older sister is very mature, reliable, and reassuring.

But in the end, she was just a child of about ten years old.

It's perfectly understandable to feel helpless in this situation.

"Let's look around first."

After a long silence, the older sister spoke with some difficulty.

In fact, she was just as afraid as her sister, but she still forced herself to be strong.

With her younger sister's help, the older sister stumbled and walked around the factory once.

She and her sister are both 'initiators' of rabbit genes.

However, their inability to pinpoint the location by sound may also be due to the lower rate of viral invasion.

"I've never been here before..."

The older sister, who was resting in the corner, curled up and thought to herself.

She was well aware that the adults disliked her.

Even when she was bullied, she could only silently endure it. Years of such experiences shaped her into a submissive and resigned character.

Even when bullied, they dare not have the slightest thought of resisting.

Many people who enjoy bullying and cursing children already have ways to deal with it.

As soon as the bullied and cursed children show the slightest sign of resistance, they immediately call for the police to come and suppress them.

After all, who would fight these monsters? (laughs)

Clinging tightly to her older sister's body, the younger sister looked around at the scenery with some unease.

Unlike her sister, who is blind and can't see anything.

My younger sister can see more things.
