Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

So you two are on a date?

???

Luo Zhen suddenly realized that his work was not yet finished.

At least not yet.

Chapter 449 Are you Luo Zhen?

Are you on a date?

The moment those words were uttered, the atmosphere instantly became magical.

Men of all ages react very subtly when asked this question.

When a shy teenage boy is asked this question, he may feel embarrassed for various reasons.

The answers to this kind of question are usually vague or evasive.

Adult men or married men reacted even more strongly when asked this question.

We won't discuss adult males.

The dating partners of married men........

No more, no more.

"........."

The atmosphere, which had been relatively harmonious, became strange once again after Elena asked that question.

In a sense, Luo Zhen and Asukai Kiki could indeed be considered to be dating.

However, strictly speaking, Luo Zhen himself did not think too much about it.

So when Elena asked that question, his reaction should have been one of confusion, indicating "no."

However, his sudden sense of urgency made him swallow those words.

In such situations, one should remain silent.

For a fleeting moment, Makoto's face flashed through Luo Zhen's mind.

Although I don't know why, I always have a creepy feeling.

After much deliberation, Luo Zhen ultimately remained silent.

"A date? I wouldn't say so."

In response to Elena's question, Asukai Kiki calmly replied.

From her perspective, this could indeed be considered a date.

However, it's highly likely that Luo Zhen doesn't even have that idea in his mind.

At most, I'd just remark that going out for a walk is still beneficial.

It must be said that Asukai Kiki's thinking was very correct.

Having just returned from the Black Bullet World, Luo Zhen's mind hadn't quite caught up yet.

My thoughts are still mostly stuck in that world.

It is somewhat out of touch with the daily life of this world.

"is it?"

Tilting her head, Elena nodded in understanding.

Compared to the other two, she really didn't think too much.

I was just a little curious, and for some reason, I asked the question unconsciously.

She probably didn't quite understand why she asked that question herself.

Or perhaps they've done a lot of bad things in their daily lives, so they feel it's normal.

“That person…”

Kasumigaoka Utaha, crouching in the corner of the hall, gazed thoughtfully at Rozen's transformed back.

If it were just Luo Zhen alone, she wouldn't think anything of it.

But both Asukai Kiki and Elena were people she knew.

The voices sounded somewhat familiar, and there were those two people.

Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally thought of Luo Zhen's identity.

Could this person wearing strange armor be Luo Zhen?

In an instant, all sorts of strange and bizarre scenarios popped into Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind.

For example, the kind of plot where a boy with extraordinary powers wins the hearts of a group of beautiful girls in his battle against evil forces—a plot that's been written to death but still has an audience.

Although the plot is very old-fashioned and has been written to death, people will still buy into this kind of plot no matter when it is released.

Because in every era, there are always immature young people who dream of having a miraculous adventure, gaining power overnight, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

Incidentally, considering the saying that a man is a boy until he dies.

The term "chuunibyou youth" here refers to men of all ages.

(Just one more thing, the second half of this sentence is "Even in her twilight years, a wealthy woman can still smile with youthful beauty.")

Taking a step forward, Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to try to communicate with this person.

Even if it's not a classmate you know, you can still try to build a relationship.

Because she met people from the publishing house early on and encountered all sorts of people, Kasumigaoka Utaha learned a lot.

For example, you should be bolder when you need to be.

Kasumigaoka Utaha knew, of course, that even if the armored person in front of her was the same Luo Zhen she knew, the two were not closely related.

But as the saying goes, even just having attended the same school after graduation can be a valuable asset for building connections.

It's even quite a lot of capital.

"Um, may I ask...?"

As she walked step by step toward Luo Zhen, Kasumigaoka Utaha cautiously asked.

Although she had already thought it through, Kasumigaoka Utaha still felt a wave of panic when she actually opened her mouth.

Ahhhhh!

Why would you do that?!

Why can't you just squat down properly?

If she could, Kasumigaoka Utaha really wanted to find a time machine nearby to go back a minute and stop that restless version of herself.

However, since things have come to this point, it's impossible to retract the message like in a chat.

As Lü Ziqiao once said, "My life has no rehearsals; every moment is a live broadcast."

"what happened?"

A slightly puzzled voice came through the mask, and Luo Zhen looked down at the girl whose eyes were filled with tension.

Although she's called a young girl, Luo Zhen is actually about the same age as her.

The world is truly amazing.

At the same age of sixteen or seventeen, some become well-known light novel authors, struggling with the next volume while also becoming high-quality young rich girls in the eyes of others.

Some people become famous at a young age, becoming what everyone calls a genius mid laner, only to be brutally defeated by Faker, experiencing the process that every genius mid laner goes through.

Some people, even at sixteen or seventeen, ignore the risks and continue with the installation.

Don't worry, the camera has a beauty filter on.

It's impossible to turn it off.

"Um, I..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Ask about the other person's identity?

I feel like I might be being a little offensive.

What will happen to them afterward?

What I said before seemed quite clear.

"Are you... Luo Zhen?"

Her face flushed red, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked the question softly.

She didn't know why she asked that question.

It could be just pure curiosity, or it could be a sense of wishful thinking.

I wonder if I can escape memory erasure.

"What do you want to say?"

Instead of answering Kasumigaoka Utaha's question, Rōzō tilted his head and asked a question in return.

He neither admitted nor denied his identity.

"Exactly, can you not erase my memories?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka, who is usually very assertive to everyone at school, asked timidly.

He was completely unlike his usual arrogant self.

Come to think of it, Kasumigaoka Utaha is, after all, a genius and beautiful young author who broke through the ranks of many light novel authors and successfully published her work.

It's natural to feel a bit arrogant when facing ordinary students of the same age.

But now she's not facing ordinary students her age.

Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't do something as foolish as shouting about their identity.

Chapter 450 This winter can't be so boring.

As soon as she asked the question, Kasumigaoka Utaha regretted it yet again.

She didn't even know what standpoint she was on when she asked that question.

From another perspective, as a light novel author, she also strongly dislikes those online who try to teach her how to write books.

Looking at those seemingly logical analyses, Kasumigaoka Utaha expressed that she had no interest in reading any further.

Everyone understands these seemingly plausible but actually flawed concepts, but writing and speaking are two completely different things, okay?

as predicted.

"Of course not, what are you thinking?"

Luo Zhen's surprised voice rang out, and he looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha with the eyes of someone looking at a mentally challenged child.

Although the mask obscured her expression, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt as if Ryouma's gaze had materialized, like a sharp blade piercing her.

Waving her hands somewhat flusteredly, Kasumigaoka Utaha tried to explain:

No, I mean...

"That's it, that's it."

"This experience was very unpleasant, but that's just how it is."

Perhaps due to her anxiety, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed somewhat incoherent.

For a moment, she didn't even know what she was saying.

Luo Zhen wasn't in a hurry; he just quietly watched Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Neither interrupt nor rush.

Just watching silently.
