Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"Ha~"

Ritsu Tainaka, who was slumped over the table, yawned deeply and looked rather listless.

Not only Ritsu Tainaka, but also Mio Akiyama and Azusa Nakano were somewhat listless.

"My sleep quality has been terrible these past two days."

After shifting to a more comfortable position, Ritsu Tainaka complained.

Perhaps because school is about to start, Ritsu Tainaka hasn't been sleeping very well these past few days.

Not only do I always wake up at night, but my body also feels very sore when I wake up in the morning.

It didn't feel like I had just taken a nap, but rather like I had been beaten up and passed out.

This sleep was not comfortable at all.

After Ritsu Tainaka finished speaking, Mio Akiyama, Azusa Nakano, and Tsumugi Kotobuki nodded in agreement.

Clearly, they deeply agree.

They haven't been sleeping well for the past few days.

Moreover, the perceptive Akiyama Mio noticed that it might not just be a few of them who had poor sleep quality.

Many students seemed a bit listless when they came to class today.

I've overheard many classmates complaining that they haven't been sleeping well and have nightmares lately.

Akiyama Mio was slightly better; she didn't have nightmares.

But I still can't sleep well at night.

"Aren't you the only one without it?"

"I've been sleeping very well last night, and I almost overslept this morning."

Hirasawa Yui chuckled as she touched her hair.

Even though she's already a senior in high school, Hirasawa Yui still can't shake her habit of sleeping in late.

He often needs his younger sister, Hirasawa Yu, to pull the covers off him so he can get up.

Even so, Hirasawa Yui often accidentally sleeps in very late.

If it weren't for her younger sister, Yui Hirasawa, Yui might have become an acquaintance of the Sobu High School's disciplinary committee.

After all, I'm late every morning.

"I really envy Yui."

With a sigh, Ritsu Tainaka said with a hint of envy.

Why don't I have such good sleep quality?

Is it because Wei is always so naive, and doesn't have so many complicated thoughts in her mind?

Ritsu Tainaka felt he had found a reasonable explanation.

Seeing Yui's silly smile, Ritsu Tainaka subconsciously reached out and pinched and kneaded Yui's chubby little face.

"Waaah, Ritsu, you're bad."

Hirasawa Yui, whose face was being pinched, mumbled incoherently.

While the two were playfully fighting, Luo Zhen seemed to remember something, and reached into his backpack hanging on the chair, saying:

"I prayed at a shrine a while ago and received a few amulets."

"It's perfect for you."

This is a lie.

This was something Luo Zhen made up on the spot while he was speaking.

As Luo Zhen opened his hand, several amulets threaded with golden velvet appeared in his palm.

It's not the more common bag-shaped amulet, but rather a cute little fox head shape.

The white amulet is dotted with gold patterns, outlining a shape that Tainaka Ritsuko Fuyumi cannot decipher.

Unlike ordinary amulets, the amulet in Luo Zhen's hand gives people a warm and gentle feeling at first glance.

"It looks so cute!"

Subconsciously letting go, Tainaka Ritsu looked at the amulet in Luo Zhen's hand with some fondness.

Although Ritsu Tainaka is somewhat boyish, most girls are powerless against cute things.

The same applies to boys.

"Is it really possible?"

Looking at the amulet that Luo Zhen handed over, Kotobuki Tsumugi asked hesitantly.

After all, it was Luo Zhen who went to the shrine to pray for blessings.

And it looks like it's not simple at all.

"It's alright, it's a health-praying amulet."

Luo Zhen casually distributed the protective charms in his hand to the others.

The Health Prayer Amulet means praying for good health and freedom from illness.

This is a suitable time.

"I feel much more energetic right away."

"Hang this amulet on my wrist," Ritsu Tainaka said happily.

The previous fatigue seemed to vanish instantly, leaving my body feeling warm and cozy.

"Yes!"

Hirasawa Yui, who was also assigned a protective charm, nodded vigorously.

Although Yui Hirasawa has very good sleep quality.

But Luo Zhen still gave one to Hirasawa Yui without discrimination.

Who wouldn't love such an adorable child as Daiyu?

"Alright! Let's practice!"

Ritsu Tainaka excitedly said as he sat down next to the drum set.

On the first day of school, Ritsu Tainaka decided to shake off her previous lethargy and study hard this semester!

Although that's what she thinks at the beginning of each semester (whispering)

"Good good!"

"no problem!"

"It's quite rare to see seniors practicing so proactively."

"What are you talking about, Azusa-nyan? I work really hard all the time!"

"Only senior..."

Sitting at the table, Luo Zhen had unknowingly become a loyal listener during the group's practice sessions.

Although Luo Zhen himself does not study music and cannot provide a very professional explanation of music theory, etc.

But this is the majority of the audience that music is aimed at.

Those who insist on music theory and structure while ignoring the audience's feelings are nothing more than rigid bookworms.

"One, two! Go!"

With the drumsticks in his hands striking the rhythm, he counted to two and then began practicing.

Music continued to play from the Light Music Club as always.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the great detective Conan Edogawa and his megaphone Kogoro Mouri encountered a murder case as usual.

"That's really something."

In the restaurant, Kogoro Mouri and Conan exchanged subtle glances at the toilet, which was completely surrounded by people.

They've encountered this situation countless times.

Moreover, they will most likely get their order for free each time they encounter this situation.

To be precise, the boss will forget about the fee.

In many cases, the murderer is the boss.

In this situation, the cost of the meal is even less of a concern.

'You little brat, you still say you're not Death?'

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Conan beside him, his eyes clearly conveying this meaning.

"Uncle, we're always together when we encounter murder cases, okay?"

Conan glared back defiantly.

He is Shinichi Kudo.

He's a great detective! Not some Grim Reaper!

"Little rascal, take Lan aside first, I'll go check the scene."

Kogoro Mouri gestured to Ran Mouri, whose expression was somewhat unpleasant, and then pushed through the crowd toward the crime scene.

He was an excellent criminal investigator back in the day, and although he had wasted many years of his career, he still had the skills.

What's more, he's been working out lately.

"This is!"

When Kogoro Mouri saw the body at the crime scene, his pupils suddenly contracted.

What appeared before him was a mangled corpse.

The gruesome wounds on the corpse did not appear to be inflicted by a human.

At least for the time being, Kogoro Mouri couldn't think of a matching weapon.

Chapter 740, Section 761: Coincidence and Best Friend

"Uncle Mori, Ran-neechan, she..."

After taking Ran Mouri aside, Conan quickly rushed to Kogoro Mouri's side and whispered something.

Indeed, he had inexplicable feelings for Ran Mouri, his childhood friend.

Or to put it simply, I like it.

But for Shinichi Kudo, nothing is more important than solving cases.

No matter what happens around him, he always puts solving the case first.

It's less about upholding justice and more about the satisfaction he gets from solving cases.

All he wanted was to bring the criminals to justice, nothing more.

After rushing to Kogoro Mouri's side, Conan was just about to say something when he saw the corpse in the restroom stall.

That's terrible.

The moment Conan saw the corpse, this thought immediately popped into his head.

The corpse looked as if it had been violently torn apart by some kind of large wild beast.

His body was covered with large, gruesome wounds, and his right arm was barely connected to his body by only a thin layer of skin and flesh.

Large splattered bloodstains were visible on the pristine white tiles.

Warm blood flowed down the corpse's arm, eventually pooling at the fingertips and dripping down.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock............

Amidst the cacophony of voices, the sound of blood dripping was so clear.
