Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

After thinking for a moment, Elena brought up the topic of the mission.

Although she was still very concerned about the previous picnic, she didn't ask about it.

On the one hand, they don't know what reason they have to ask, and on the other hand, they don't know what position they are in asking.

Although she could have asked out of curiosity, Elena ultimately abandoned the idea.

Don't ask why, the answer is I don't know.

"No."

Recalling the previous battle, Luo Zhen felt that the wounds that had already healed during the battle shouldn't be considered injuries.

Judging from the result, he came out unharmed and even killed the enemy.

They seem very relaxed and carefree.

"really?"

Clearly, Elena didn't believe Luo Zhen's words.

"real."

"Is it really true?"

"It's really true."

"Is it really true?"

"It's really true."

"real......."

"Stop! Nesting dolls are prohibited."

Raising his hand, Luo Zhen stopped Elena's nesting doll-like behavior.

If she were to continue like this, her lunch break would probably be over in no time.

With a slight pursed lip, Elena didn't press the matter further.

"Speaking of which, what exactly happened that day when you rushed off to another place by breaking through the dimensional barrier?"

While eating her bento, Elena suddenly remembered something and looked at Luo Zhen beside her, asking him a question.

Since that day, Luo Zhen has never seen anyone.

Although Elena could have gone to the research institute to find Luo Zhen, she stayed with her friends during that time so as not to disturb his work.

It's not just to pass the time, but also to protect your friends in case of unexpected situations.

After all, judging from Luo Zhen and the others' reactions, this matter is quite tricky.

But in the end, nothing unexpected happened.

If Irena hadn't known the inside story, she would have thought it was just an ordinary day.

"I went to help a friend."

Luo Zhen began to explain what happened that day.

The two of them then talked on the rooftop about things that couldn't be heard by the students and teachers at the school.

However, Luo Zhen wasn't worried about that. If some electronic device had successfully recorded their conversation, then the dispatched personnel at the school should have resigned and gone home.

Of course, it could also be to recruit a talent into the research institute.

At that moment, far away in Tokyo, Yagami Taichi, who was being talked about by Luo Zhen, suddenly sneezed.

"Ah!"

"What's wrong, Taiichi-senpai? Do you have a cold?"

Beside Taichi Yagami, a girl with long, straight black hair and glasses looked at him with some concern.

Her name is Mochizuki Meiko, and she can be considered a chosen one.

But compared to Taichi Yagami and his friends, Meiko Mochizuki and her companions are far inferior.

Although there are Digivice, there are no corresponding badges.

Meicoomon, the partner, was only at the Champion level back then, not even reaching the Ultimate level, let alone the Mega level.

Therefore, they have a natural sense of admiration for Yagami Taichi and the others.

After learning about the adventures of Taichi Yagami and his group, her admiration for the Chosen Children shifted entirely to Taichi Yagami.

In Mochizuki Yako's opinion, only three of the chosen children were truly putting in the effort.

Taichi Yagami, representing courage, is always at the forefront of battle.

Koushiro Izumi, representing knowledge, always provides Taichi Yagami with intelligence support.

Kari Yagami, who represents light, is more like hope than hope itself.

"It's nothing, it's probably just someone talking about me."

Rubbing his nose, Yagami Taichi said nonchalantly.

As she spoke, her gaze shifted subtly to Mochizuki Meiko beside her.

This child approached him after the previous Digital World invasion had ended.

Although there was no malice intended, this enthusiasm was really overwhelming for Taichi Yagami.

She is clearly an introverted and gentle girl, but why does she seem like a fangirl when talking about him?

For the first time in his life, Yagami Taichi was experiencing what it felt like to be idolized, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

We could only let them go.

As he pondered, a blinding golden light entered Taichi Yagami's field of vision.

Looking up, a face that was both strange and familiar appeared.

Ishida Yamato..........

With that name in mind, Yagami Taichi suddenly fell silent.

Ishida Yamato, sitting opposite, had clearly also noticed Yagami Taichi, his 'friend'.

Upon returning to the human world, Ishida Yamato chose to erase his memories and return to the world of ordinary people, actively severing ties with the past.

Noticing Ishida Yamato, Mochizuki Meiko also sensed the strange atmosphere and shut her mouth, saying nothing more.

The two silently passed each other without exchanging a word.

They were like complete strangers.

Chapter 578 A Large Salted Fish

The two people brushed past each other as if they were complete strangers.

There was no verbal or physical communication, and even eye contact was avoided.

This performance was even worse than that of a stranger.

It's unclear what Ishida Yamato is thinking, but I imagine Yagami Taichi is feeling quite conflicted.

Peeking discreetly at Taichi Yagami's profile, Meiko Mochizuki observed Taichi Yagami's expression with the cautiousness of a small animal that has just left the protection of its parents.

On Taichi Yagami's face, Meiko Mochizuki saw complexity and relief, with very little sadness or other emotions.

It's more of a sense of helplessness and relief, like "I knew it."

"Senior Taiyi?"

"what happened?"

After calming his emotions, Yagami Taichi smiled and looked at Mochizuki Meiko beside him.

The smile on his face was no different from usual.

Seeing that smile, Wang Yueya's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Although they did not actually witness that journey firsthand, the organization still kept records of information and oral accounts about the people involved.

After obtaining Taichi Yagami's permission, Mochizuki Meiko viewed these materials, thus gaining a more direct understanding of those people from back then.

Courage as passionate as fire, friendship as cold as ice.

I don't know when it started, but many people have begun to mistake indifference for arrogance and shyness, deliberately beautifying it to cover up its true nature.

But indifference is indifference, and it won't change because of someone's subjective opinion.

In the end, even fiery courage couldn't move the icy friendship.

Perhaps there were moments back then, such as when Taichi Yagami stood in front of everyone when the enemy attacked.

When everyone else had given up hope, but Yagami Taichi was still fighting.

When everyone was most helpless, Taichi Yagami overcame his inner fears and encouraged everyone.

Ishida Yamato truly regarded Yagami Taichi as his best friend.

But after calming down, cold rationality once again prevailed. The aristocratic education he received from childhood made him value and be extremely proud of the bloodline in his body.

Of all his friends, only his younger brother was the one he cared about the most.

For his willful and ignorant younger brother, he could throw a punch at anyone, even Yagami Taichi, without any psychological burden.

Under Ishida Yamato's pampering, Takaishi Takeru even betrayed his comrades.

Even the influence of the Clown King cannot change this fact.

Isn't it ridiculous that Hope has sided with the enemy?

As for the remaining characters, such as Joe Kido, Sora Takenouchi, and Mimi Otsukawa, Mei Mochizuki didn't want to comment much.

Strictly speaking, Mochizuki Meiko's knowledge of Takashi Takeru and Ishida Yamato stems from her dislike of the two.

Mei Mochizuki's admiration for Taichi Yagami made her extremely disgusted with the two willful brothers.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about Senior Taiichi."

Pushing up her glasses, Mochizuki Yako said somewhat shyly.

She herself wasn't quite sure what kind of feelings she had for Yagami Taichi.

Worship? Admiration? Love?

Or perhaps something else?

She wasn't quite sure either.

However, it is certain that she has special feelings for Taichi Yagami.

There is no doubt about this.

There's no need to worry about me.

Shaking his head, Taichi Yagami said with a smile.

He has now accepted the fact with complete equanimity.

The fact is that my former companions have all gone their separate ways.

This is already an indisputable fact.

No matter how reluctant he was, Taichi Yagami had no choice but to accept this fact.

Looking at Taichi Yagami's profile, Meiko Mochizuki suddenly felt that she had gained a new understanding of Taichi Yagami.

The past Mochizuki Mei knew, or rather, the Yagami Taichi in her mind, was always the child in the Digital World who was always fighting on the front lines, bringing courage to those around him.

She now realizes that Taichi Yagami has changed a lot compared to the past.

He no longer unleashed his passion and brilliance without reservation, like a flame.

He's no longer like a protagonist in a shonen manga, always full of passion.

But now, Taichi Yagami is more like a living person, someone who lives next to Meiko Mochizuki, someone you can reach out and touch.

Instead of the great hero of the past who felt very distant and only existed in stories.

Mochizuki Meiko didn't dislike this change.
