Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Hiratsuka Shizuka's chaotic mind gradually calmed down.

This cigarette puff is like pressing Win+R to open the Run dialog box, then typing %temp% to clean up a lot of junk files on your C drive and free up enough space.

(Remember to empty the trash bin too.)

After calming down, Hiratsuka Shizuka walked to her car and remained silent for a long time as she looked at the 'ordinary' sports car.

After calming down, she recalled more details.

For example, that slight feeling of unease when I first got on the bus.

The abnormal force and erratic movement at the moment the truck was hurtling towards him.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was certain that her stiff body at the time had not made any response.

The surveillance footage showed her hand jerking the steering wheel, but it turned out the steering wheel itself was turning, which in turn moved her hand.

He gently lit a cigarette, shaking off the ash that hadn't burned completely.

Although she was neither a researcher nor a doctor, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who always wore a white coat, stared silently at her familiar yet unfamiliar car for a long time.

His brows were furrowed tightly, and the soles of his shoes tapped the ground impatiently.

Only when the ash was close to her slender fingers did Hiratsuka Shizuka stub out the cigarette.

Open the car door, get in, and start the engine.

After sitting in the car for a while, Hiratsuka Shizuka drove home.

During the journey, Hiratsuka Shizuka tried several times to let go of the car to see if it could drive itself.

But after hesitating several times, she gave up the idea.

She also had some doubts about whether the steering wheel moving on its own earlier was just her imagination.

If it's not just my imagination, that's fine. But if it really is, then things are going to get interesting.

"Wow, what a lucky woman."

In a corner unnoticed by Hiratsuka Shizuka, a spherical creature with wings and sharp claws quietly poked its head out.

The sharp claws gleamed crimson in the darkness, as if stained with copious amounts of blood.

Its yellow pupils, like those of a cold-blooded animal, were fixed on the direction the car had left.

I originally thought I could kill this woman, but I didn't expect her to escape.

But it's alright, she won't be so lucky next time.

Reluctantly withdrawing its gaze, the unidentified creature flapped its slightly tattered wings and flew away, leaving only a single sentence in the air:

"If we don't go back soon, the Vampire Beast King will throw a tantrum again."

"Ever since the last resurrection, the king has been in a bad mood."

While driving, Hiratsuka Shizuka was completely unaware that she had just been being watched by some unknown creature.

Her attention had just been drawn to a somewhat familiar figure.

"That's Luo Zhen, right?"

Just now, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to have seen one of her students walking with a very muscular-looking man.

The other person didn't look like a student.

Hiratsuka Shizuka gives the impression of a cynical street dancer.

Forgive Hiratsuka Shizuka for not knowing how to describe this young man she only glimpsed by chance.

The other person's aura was so unique that even Hiratsuka Shizuka was seeing it for the first time.

"What's wrong with Luo Zhen...?"

Frowning, Hiratsuka Shizuka was about to say something, but quickly swallowed her words.

If we're talking about not being like a student, then Luo Zhen is the same.

Even when dressed in a school uniform and mixed in with a group of students, Luo Zhen still possessed a very special aura.

This aura made him stand out among a group of students.

Although he himself does not seem to be aware of this.

Logically speaking, a guy like this should have many girls wanting to get close to him.

But the outstanding girls around him are enough to make most girls hesitate.

The school's renowned light music club, student council members, and a silver-haired girl who transferred from another country.

This guy is really popular with women.

As she slowly brought the car to a stop at the traffic light, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked through the rearview mirror at Luo Zhen and the young man chatting on the sidewalk.

In the past, Hiratsuka Shizuka always felt that Luo Zhen was out of place with his classmates at school.

It's as if you've isolated yourself from the world, locking yourself in a small, transparent space.

You can see people outside and interact with them.

But there is always a seemingly thin but actually thick barrier between them.

This was something that Hiratsuka Shizuka was very worried about.

In Japanese schools, this type of student is very likely to become a target of bullying.

Although they always say things like "I don't care" or "Let them do their own thing."

But Hiratsuka Shizuka still considers her students a lot.

Except for those who give up on themselves.

At that moment, seeing Luo Zhen's slightly upturned lips in the rearview mirror, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to understand something.

He did not isolate himself from the world.

He simply lives in another world that doesn't belong to the school.

There were no people like him at the school.

It's normal to feel isolated.

"Students these days are so precocious."

Shaking her head, Hiratsuka Shizuka remembered that Luo Zhen had mentioned having a well-paying part-time job.

That young man must be his colleague?

Well, she was relatively at ease with Luo Zhen as a student.

The light turned green, and Hiratsuka Shizuka stepped on the gas and sped off.

The sudden start startled the driver next to him, but upon seeing the Aston Martin Vantage, he swallowed back the curse that was about to escape his lips, weakly uttering:

"This car is really nice."

The driver didn't notice that something was wriggling in the gap between his back seat and the seat.

Through the gaps, one can vaguely see numerous stitching marks.

Chapter 475 The look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them cannot be hidden.

Luo Zhen, who was chatting with Joseph by the roadside, turned around and glanced back, only to see the car gradually disappearing into the distance.

However, that car looked somewhat familiar.

It looks like it belongs to Shizuka Hiratsuka-sensei's car?

Luo Zhen thought to himself with some uncertainty.

"That car is actually quite nice."

Joseph, standing next to Luo Zhen, stroked his chin and said:

"Aston Martin Vantage."

For Joseph, although he wasn't a particularly car-loving person.

However, there is still some research on vehicles.

At the very least, you need to be able to provide an introduction when bartering.

"I don't understand any of what you're saying."

As he listened to Joseph's description of the car, Luo Zhen silently rolled his eyes.

Many people say that loving cars is a man's nature.

But Luo Zhen, who is car illiterate, said that he was just an innocent big boy.

I remember once he was walking down the street at night when a car drove past him.

At the time, Luo Zhen simply remarked that the car was quite nice.

But a little girl next to him was excitedly telling her friend about the car's model and other information.

Although I couldn't understand anything, judging from the little girl's reaction, the car seemed to be quite something.

At that moment, Luo Zhen truly realized that he knew absolutely nothing about cars.

Shrugging, Joseph didn't dwell on the topic and changed the subject.

For example, some things that happened with Siji Q, such as the house they recently renovated.

Seeing Joseph's wife-bragging antics, Ryougi felt he had reason to doubt how Josuke Higashikata was even born.

This old guy doesn't seem like the type to cheat at all!

After much thought, the only possible explanation is that it was Araki's fault, or that Joseph was attacked by a Stand.

A stand-in attack that can make someone cheat—that's really scary to think about.

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something really rude?"

A chill ran down Joseph’s spine as he looked at Rozen beside him with suspicion.

After awakening the Hermit's Purple, Joseph found that his intuition and other abilities seemed to have been enhanced to some extent.

Was it an unexpected surprise?

How come I didn't notice this before?

Could it be that I was already too old when I first awakened?

"not at all."

Luo Zhen said calmly.

Joseph almost believed it with that sincere look in his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Joseph decided not to expose Rōjin and continued:

How did it go when you met the parents?

His words carried a hint of teasing.

After all, Joseph also played a role in Ryougi's decision to skip work on Saturdays and Sundays and travel to other worlds.

I don't know when it started, but this guy gradually turned into a comedian.

He probably picked up this bad habit from Sakata Gintoki and Gojo Satoru, who have already left.

However, considering Joseph's original personality, it's possible that he didn't go astray but rather unleashed his true nature.

"It feels really bad."

As if remembering something ominous, Luo Zhen's face immediately fell.

How did he, an ordinary high school student working part-time as a B-level investigator, encounter so many troubles?

"Don't you deny meeting the parents?"

As he spoke, Joseph's smile deepened.

At first, Rōjin's "no woman in his heart, only divine swordsmanship" demeanor led Joseph to believe that this guy was not interested in women or even preferred men.

However, after a series of observations, Joseph made a surprising discovery.
