Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Luo Zhen herself never said that, nor did she ask before.

Seeing Naruhira's somewhat troubled expression, Komachi Hikigaya skipped over the topic.

"So, what are your feelings towards this senior?"

"No."

Naruhira looked at Komachi Hikigaya with some confusion and said.

Although she had a very good impression of Luo Zhen and liked him a lot, this liking was only between seniors and juniors.

If I had to say, in Narumi Ryou's mind, Luo Zhen is the mature and reliable older brother next door type.

There are no feelings of infatuation or affection.

And Luo Zhen is the same.

In her eyes, Narumi Ryou is a younger sister type of character.

The serious kind.

(Haruka Kasugano clicked the dislike button and left, grumbling.)

"Ok."

Hikigaya Komachi said with some disappointment.

She's been reading a lot of light novels about youth romance lately.

She longed for the sweet romance between her senior and junior colleagues.

Unfortunately, Muku had no such idea.

With a sigh, Komachi Hikigaya continued her private conversation with Ryou Naru.

Some say that the private whispers between girls are actually more explosive than those between boys.

Luo Zhen said he heard this from someone else.

He knows nothing.

He was nothing more than an emotionless containment machine.

the other side--

"what happened?"

Sakamoto, sitting opposite Luo Zhen, looked at Luo Zhen's strange expression and asked.

The last time Luo Zhen showed this expression was the last time...

It was when he took out the wasp.

"A girl asked me to investigate something."

Scratching his head, Luo Zhen organized his thoughts and recounted the story of Hachiman Hikigaya and Saki Kawasaki.

Kawasaki Saki he understands.

It seems that she chose to work outside in order to earn living expenses and make life easier for her younger siblings.

But what's the situation with Hachiman Hikigaya?

He hasn't come home for two nights in a row and I haven't seen him.

Has this opened the door to a new world?

After racking his brains, Luo Zhen still couldn't figure out what could possibly make this mildly sister-complex brother stay away from home all day, making excuses to avoid his sister.

Unless, some unexpected situation occurs.

Luo Zhen quickly made the connection.

If it's an unusual item or an unusual creature, then it's easy to say.

"Do you need any help? I can get Xiang's friends to come along."

Sakamoto suggested.

The "Xiang" he mentioned is 8823.

8823 is just a nickname; Sho is his real name.

"Oh, please let them see it..."

Luo was about to agree, but then changed his mind and said:

"No need, I'll go see it myself."

On the one hand, it was considered that the bad character of those underlings in 8823 might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

On the other hand, if Hachiman Hikigaya's unusual behavior was indeed caused by an abnormal creature.

Sending these people there would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

Although Luo Zhen didn't have a very good impression of these people, he couldn't bring himself to send them to their deaths.

"......it is good."

Nodding, Sakamoto indicated his understanding.

When Luo Zhen said that he went to see what it was, Sakamoto pretty much understood.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably one of those things, right?

"Do you need my help?"

"No, you have an experiment to conduct tonight."

Shaking his head, Luo Zhen once again rejected Sakamoto's offer.

Indeed, Luo Zhen could have Sakamoto investigate Kawasaki Saki.

After all, the other party is most likely to be without fault.

But this kind of behavior is more offensive than one person taking on all the tasks.

This behavior is like being forced to take on a burden or to fend off a beggar.

Besides, they're not the same person.

Yukino Yukinoshita needs to go out in person, but they don't.

"Please investigate the recent whereabouts of 'Hachiman Hikigaya' and 'Saki Kawasaki'."

Luo Zhen took out his headset from his pocket and began to speak.

They have a powerful intelligence network, but they don't use it.

Only a fool would do that.

Chapter 353 The Sheep-Headed Man in the Hotel

Meanwhile, just as Komachi Hikigaya forgot about her brother and started gossiping.

Her brother, Hachiman Hikigaya, also temporarily forgot about his sister.

Because he is doing something big.

At least that's how he sees it.

'What kind of strange development is this?'

She glanced at the bread in her hand, then at Kawasaki Saki sitting not far from her.

Hachiman Hikigaya had a lot of questions popping into his head.

Today, as usual, he carried his bread and drinks and headed to his usual lunch spot.

He simply took out the bread and drinks he had bought from his schoolbag.

They left the classroom normally.

He was struck up a conversation by a pretty girl he had chatted with a few times before.

Two ordinary people traveled together.

They arrived at this place as ordinary people, and chatted and ate together.

'No, no, no, this is clearly very unusual, isn't it?'

Perhaps for some people who are already in a good relationship, this is just a normal part of life.

It's very abnormal to have only one girl.

But for Hachiman Hikigaya, it had been many years since he had eaten with a woman other than his sister.

Even the conversation with Saki Kawasaki the night before last was the first time in nearly two years that he had chatted with a woman of the same age.

Ah, thinking about it this way, I'm so pathetic, aren't I?

No, no, there's nothing sad about it.

The truly tragic thing is not being alone, but rather wasting one's youth in a daze, immersed in false praise.

He thinks so.

That's how I motivate myself.

But now, this lonely life has been invaded by an uninvited guest.

Hachiman Hikigaya had no idea what he was thinking.

Using the same harsh words as before, will the other party leave feeling foolish?

Or should we choose to make some changes to accommodate the other person's presence?

Logically speaking, Hachiman Hikigaya would not want to choose the first option.

That would be going too far, and it would also make me look incredibly stupid.

On an emotional level, he was less inclined to choose the latter option.

The idea that "the world cannot be changed, but you can change yourself" is inherently unreasonable and offensive.

It's just a way of acknowledging one's failure and powerlessness.

Let's leave it at that for now.

Hachiman Hikigaya thought to himself as he took a bite of bread.

Avoiding problems is never shameful, and it's very effective.

Hachiman Hikigaya decided to leave the problem to time to resolve.

Perhaps the other person will lose interest in you after a while.

Now, relax a little.

With that in mind, the two of them finished their lunch in silence.

"It's almost time to go back."

Clap your hands, and Saki Kawasaki swallowed the food in her mouth and said.

Unlike Hachiman Hikigaya, whose mind was filled with chaotic thoughts.

Saki Kawasaki, on the other hand, didn't have that many thoughts.

Although he, like Hachiman Hikigaya, goes to bed very late at night, Hachiman Hikigaya spends more time wandering around outside.

She has to work.

The job of a bartender is not easy.

Even quiet bars are the same.

Every night, all sorts of strange and unusual guests appear.

For example, there are oddballs who always treat quiet bars like noisy ones.

Every day when Kawasaki Saki comes to school, she feels like her whole body is falling apart.

Sometimes she would think about dropping out of school and going to work.

Although my grades were pretty good before, I'm sure they'll drop drastically soon.
