Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

He often forgets that he is a student.

Seeing Luo Zhen's nonchalant expression, Mei Hyo-rai became even more certain of her thoughts.

After thinking about it, she still didn't say anything more.

Neither of them noticed that the content displayed on a screen in a roadside shop window suddenly became blurry.

In a fleeting moment, the advertisement on the screen transformed into a shadowy figure, its scarlet eyes filled with greed and bloodlust.

Like a hungry lone wolf in the jungle eyeing its chosen prey.

The next second, the figure disappeared, replaced by an advertisement that looked incredibly idiotic.

It's like the illusion that everyone experiences countless times in their lives.

"Did I see it wrong just now?"

By the shop window, an older man who was looking at his phone looked up with some confusion.

He seemed to have just seen something strange on the TV screen.

However, he disappeared as soon as he raised his head.

The bus arrived before he could figure it out.

Shaking those strange thoughts from his mind, the middle-aged man hurriedly squeezed onto the bus.

In this indifferent Japanese society, no one will take your kindness and courtesy as goodwill; they will only think you are a coward.

As a middle-aged man with no savings, no house, no car, and no family, he no longer has the curiosity or energy to explore fantasies that may or may not be illusions.

Even if there really is a problem, what does it have to do with him?

Can I get a promotion and a raise?

Do you have money?

He can barely support himself, why is he thinking so much?

He stopped fantasizing about saving the world many years ago.

"what happened?"

Narumi looked at Luo Zhen, who had suddenly stopped, with some confusion and asked.

As they were chatting, Senior Luo Zhen suddenly turned around without saying a word, as if searching for something.

His slightly furrowed brows made him look very serious.

"It's nothing, I think I saw someone I know."

Luo Zhen relaxed his furrowed brows and resumed the expression he had when they were chatting.

It's like you just happened to see a stranger on the street who looks somewhat like your friend.

Just now, Luo Zhen seemed to have sensed something for a moment.

But there was an unreal feeling, like looking at the scenery through frosted glass, and he even wondered if he was having some kind of illusion.

'Let's ask Jojo later.'

In Luo Zhen's mind, Joseph had become synonymous with an all-powerful enemy detection radar.

Even if Joseph does develop Alzheimer's someday, he will still be a strategically important figure.

Old man! Your substitute is the best!

"Ah!"

Joseph, who was busy with his task, suddenly sneezed.

I always feel like someone is talking about me.

It must be that guy, Luo Zhen.

"Speaking of Senior Luo Zhen..."

The sound of the gourd suddenly interrupted Luo Zhen's thoughts.

Looking down, what came into view was Ming Piaoliang's gossipy little face.

The teasing smile was just like that of a friend who had been single for many years suddenly finding a partner.

They were like paparazzi who had discovered big news.

Have you made a decision?

"What decision?"

Luo Zhen asked, somewhat bewildered. As he gradually came to his senses, Ming Piaoliang nudged Luo Zhen's waist with her elbow and whispered:

"It's about dating. I saw you on a date with that older woman with long, straight black hair the other day."

"But speaking of which, so you like this type, Senior Luo Zhen."

.........

Although he didn't say anything, Luo Zhen's face clearly conveyed a message.

Why are you everywhere?

Chapter 452 Don't come any closer!

Why are you everywhere?

Narumi Ryou saw this in Luo Zhen's face.

With a slight pout, he complained in a disgruntled tone:

"How should I know? It's not like I thought it."

To be fair, Mei Piaoliang genuinely had no intention or action of following Luo Zhen.

Although she was very gossipy about Luo Zhen's romantic relationship, she had no intention of actively exploring it.

But who knew the world was so full of wonders and coincidences.

Luo Zhen's only two shopping trips that could be considered dates were both witnessed by Naruhira.

Moreover, even Luo Zhen himself didn't realize it.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Children shouldn't ask so many questions about adult matters."

Luo Zhen patted Narumi's shoulder lightly, then calmly took a few steps forward.

By now, he has developed the ability to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses before him.

Even if a Crimson King suddenly appeared dressed as a woman dancing a hula, he wouldn't...

Well, that would probably be terrifying.

This thing is far more outrageous and terrifying than horror movies, in every sense of the word.

"Senior Luo Zhen, you're only two or three years older than me."

"That's still big."

"But we are all minors."

"Actually, I am a time traveler. Although I look only sixteen or seventeen years old, my mental age is actually over thirty."

"Senior, you're already a sophomore in high school, please face reality, okay? Besides, you can't calculate mental age with addition."

Covering her face, Narumi Ryou felt like she had an endless rant stuck in her throat.

So the saying "Men are boys until they die" refers not only to mindset, but also to adolescent immaturity?

But the mentality and the chuunibyou seem to be not much different?

No, no, that's not the point.

I never expected that Luo Zhen, who seems so reliable, would have a moment like this.

Thinking about it carefully, Senior Luo Zhen is only seventeen years old this year, which is truly the most youthful and impetuous time of his life.

Being a little bit immature once in a while is not a big deal.

Suddenly, Ming Piaoliang's mindset inexplicably shifted towards that of his mother.

That expression was exactly like a mother who finds inappropriate magazines for children in her son's room.

Normally, the next part of the story would simply involve heart-to-heart talks or pretending nothing happened.

However, for Eriri, there is only one possible future development.

cough cough.

Please ignore the above statement.

"What I said is true."

With an indifferent shrug, Luo Zhen remarked that no one believes the truth these days.

Is trust between people really that weak?

He never considered how unconvincing it was to say something like, "I ate XXX tonight."

What's more, it was slipped in during casual conversation.

It would be a miracle if you actually believed that, okay?

"Senior Luo Zhen, would you like to come and visit us?"

Standing in front of his house, Narumi extended an invitation to Luo Zhen.

Although it happened only a few times, Luo Zhen did visit Mingpiao's house.

The Narumi couple were also very friendly to Luo Zhen.

Naruhira Akito once hoped that Rōzō would pursue his current profession, that is, becoming a detective.

Naruhira Akito's intuition told him that Luo Zhen would likely achieve great things in this line of work.

Unfortunately, Luo Zhen himself had no interest in this, and Naruhira Akito could only give up with some regret.

However, looking at it from another perspective, it's a good thing.

As a criminal police officer, he has a lot of work to do every day. He has seen all kinds of strange murder methods, including suicides, homicides, and revenge killings, countless times.

I don't even have much time to spend with my family on weekdays, so there's no need for others to step into this industry.

"No, I've already bought lunch."

Raising his bowl of rice, Luo Zhen declined Narumi's invitation.

On the one hand, he bought food; on the other hand, he really didn't like visiting other people's homes.

Like most modern teenagers, Luo Zhen is okay with going out to dinner with friends, but he's less inclined to visit their homes.

This is especially true when there are elders present.

This would make him feel very uncomfortable.

"Ok."

Carrying the groceries he had bought, Ming Piaoliang returned home with little enthusiasm.

She was really curious about Luo Zhen's gossip, but Luo Zhen just didn't want to talk about it, and there was nothing she could do about it.

He looked like a wilted eggplant.

She didn't even notice her kind old father's question.

"What's wrong with this child?"

Stroking his chin, Narumi Akito, who was already middle-aged but still looked like a young man in his early twenties, looked at his idiotic daughter's dejected back with some confusion.

Broken heart?

Early romantic relationships are not a good thing.

Turning his head to look at his young face reflected in the glass, Akihito Narihira suddenly had an idea.

Or, how about creating a new account?
