Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"No? Okay, I understand."

In the dimly lit bedroom, Luo Zhen was in contact with the research institute's intelligence personnel.

After parting ways with Narutaki, he gave a brief report about the appearance of Narutaki and Tsukasa Kadoya.

However, he did not request the research institute to conduct a large-scale search for the two individuals.

Instead, they asked if any humanoid monsters had appeared recently.

Luo Zhen had a feeling that some kind of villain had appeared.

There's no reason, it's just a feeling.

The final answer was no.

There have been quite a few containment objects and anomalous creatures appearing recently, but none of them match the monster described by Luo Zhen.

"By the way, a couple of days ago a strange guy appeared at a high school who claimed to be 'the embodiment of the resentment of students who didn't want to go back to school.' Does that count?"

As if he had thought of something, the liaison officer, who was flipping through the institute's documents, asked.

The strange guy was dragged into the lab by the researchers, so his summary report hasn't been entered yet.

He would know because that day he watched helplessly as a group of seemingly defenseless people in white coats broke the limbs of a terrifying-looking monster and slammed him onto the lab table.

For a moment, he began to have some doubts about the word "researcher".

In the end, he could only console himself, after all, their mission was to study dangerous containment objects.

So it's normal that they were able to subdue these containment objects, right?

So what is the purpose of security personnel?

These guys in white coats are obviously incredibly strong in combat, okay?

Surely it can't be to prevent these researchers from destroying the containment object, right?

Do you have any information?

Although he felt that this strange person might not be the strange person he was looking for, Luo Zhen still asked a question.

Resentment gathered together, and Luo Zhen could only think of the world of a certain bald demon king.

This strange guy most likely came from there.

"Wait a minute, let me look for it."

The liaison officer turned on the computer on the right and began searching.

As a liaison, he had access to most of the institute's internal files.

Although his security clearance level prevented him from seeing the contents, it wasn't him who was looking at it, but rather Luo Zhen.

As long as Luo Zhen's security level is sufficient, it will be fine.

"found it."

After a series of operations, the corresponding file was sent to Luo Zhen's tablet.

After following the system prompts through the security level confirmation process, Luo Zhen finally saw the document he was looking for.

Unsurprisingly, it wasn't the Kamen Rider-type monster he was looking for.

There were no signs of alteration, nor was there any sandification or coins appearing.

He's just an ordinary weirdo.

"Okay, thank you."

After viewing, the tablet automatically destroyed and deleted the data.

After thanking the liaison officer and hanging up the phone, Luo Zhen seemed somewhat downcast.

Sometimes the most agonizing thing isn't knowing you failed the exam.

It's not that you know you're going to fail the exam, but you're already sitting in the exam room, and there's no way to make up for it.

Luo Zhen is like this now; he knows that Kadoya Tsukasa will let him feel the care of his senior.

But he didn't know how to resist.

Perhaps, this is life.

The backpack on the table was empty, clearly indicating that it contained no books.

Just like Luo Zhen's mind, it was completely empty, he didn't think about anything.

Time was passing by, and the only sound in the room was the ticking of the alarm clock.

'Tick-tock tick-tock'

The constantly spinning second hand made a crisp sound.

It sounded so jarring in the quiet room.

"It's uncomfortable."

Covering his face, Luo Zhen felt his smooth brain was starting to freeze.

Faced with this situation that he didn't know how to handle, Luo Zhen's first instinct was to run away.

A great man once said: Escaping is not shameful, but rather very useful.

The next day, when Luo Zhen walked into the classroom with dark circles under his eyes, he attracted some attention.

"Did you have insomnia last night?"

"That's it."

Slumped listlessly on the table, Luo Zhen felt as if he was about to ascend to heaven.

She walks with a limp, unsteady gait.

Fukube Riji, who was sitting on a small stool to the side, nodded as if he understood but not quite.

Since their last conversation, the two have become friends who can talk to each other.

Actually, there aren't that many problems when making friends in high school.

If you can chat with someone, you're friends; if you can't, you're strangers.

Most friendships between people only go as far as being able to talk to each other.

It's rare for someone to have no friends, and it's also rare for someone to have many close friends.

Moreover, to be honest, Luo Zhen had never actually seen anyone use the word 'closest friend' in real life.

"Actually, I've been feeling a bit anxious lately too. Tomorrow's test is really giving me a headache."

With both hands braced on the bench, Fukube Satoshi said with some distress.

He's been busy with club activities lately and hasn't been studying much.

This exam was most likely taken unprepared.

There was nothing he could do; he was involved in two clubs while also serving on the General Affairs Committee.

"Yes, it came too suddenly."

Luo Zhen agreed, as if he were genuinely worried about Friday's test.

This statement immediately resonated with Satoshi Fukube.

"Yeah, they didn't even give us any advance notice. It's so sudden to tell us the exam was on Friday and we were only told on Tuesday afternoon."

Although the notification period wasn't short, I still felt like there wasn't enough time when the exam was approaching.

Fukube Satoshi kept wailing, for he had already given up too much time for the club and the committee.

"Ah."

With his slightly tired face buried in his hands, Luo Zhen's voice sounded somewhat muffled.

"Luo Zhen?"

Fukube Satoshi noticed Luo Zhen's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask.

He seems to be in a bad mood.

Fukube Satoshi didn't have the same meticulous observational skills as Oreki Houtarou, but as Oreki Houtarou's best friend, he did learn some of the ability to read people's expressions.

"nothing."

The hand covering his face was removed, and Luo Zhen said calmly.

For some reason, Fukube Satoshi felt that something had changed about Luo Zhen.

This change is hard to describe, but it certainly exists.

'Your eyes seem brighter?'

After observing for a second or two, Fukube Satoshi thought.

At this moment, Luo Zhen still looked somewhat tired.

But his energy and spirit were no longer as lazy and decadent as before.

Instead, she exuded her usual calm demeanor.

Fukube Satoshi had some guesses about this.

Maybe he's figured something out?

In some respects, Fukube Satoshi did indeed guess the correct answer.

'Tsukasa Kadoya is very strong, but I'm not a complete newbie either.'

Even now, Ryougi still hasn't figured out how to defeat Tsukasa Kadoya.

Looking at the initial data alone, Decade is no match for Amazon.

But the other party was, after all, someone who had worked on the Oma Zi-O film set.

God knows what cards he's holding.

Not enough, so what?

Since we can't escape, we have no choice but to fight.

"I won't lose."

That's what Luo really thinks.

Chapter 46 I Will Protect the Heisei Era

"Have you finally adjusted your mindset?"

Inside a coffee shop, Tsukasa Kadoya gently put down his coffee.

Wearing a suit, he looked like a social elite, but his lazy and unique temperament suggested that his identity might not be so simple.

He learned last night that Luo Zhen is the Kamen Rider of this world.

Special thanks to Narutaki for providing the information.

However, considering his cake had a huge amount of green peppers on it, I'll pass.

After taking a bite, Tsukasa Kadoya's face was deformed.

Thank you, I'll definitely do it next time.

However, Tsukasa Kadoya did not immediately go to find Rōzō.

He glanced at it and then left.

Because he could sense Luo Zhen's somewhat worried expression.

Anxiety? Or a lack of self-confidence?

'Without realizing it, I've become so famous.'

Stroking his chin, Tsukasa Kadoya couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

As expected of me.

Have all the younger generations heard of him?
