Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Tsumugi Kotobuki asked hesitantly, poking at her fingers.

Having learned the truth about the world, Kotobuki Tsumugi found it hard to accept returning to a state of complete ignorance.

"No, there's no room for negotiation on this."

To this, Luo Zhen gave a negative answer without hesitation.

He'd heard this question far too many times.

Basically, every time this situation occurs, the person being executed will ask if it is possible to not erase their memory.

Luo Zhen always gave the same answer.

"Ok."

Seeing this, Kotobuki Tsumugi said with some regret.

Actually, she didn't have the right to bargain. The reason she talked to her so much was probably because of her relationship with Hirazawa Yui.

So after a brief struggle, Kotobuki Tsumugi readily accepted the fact.

"Mom, you heard it too."

Turning to look at her mother, who was still somewhat dazed, Kotobuki Tsumugi smiled and said.

"I see."

Lady Kotobuki nodded, indicating that she understood.

Although I was reluctant at first, I thought about it carefully and realized that it was for their own good.

After all, what good would it do to know that supernatural forces exist in the world?

Aside from adding a heavy weight to one's heart, it seems to serve no other purpose.

Lady Kotobuki knew very well that although her family was very wealthy, it was by no means a particularly important family.

"If you have any further questions, you can ask our task force soldiers on the way. Please proceed, both of you."

With his hands outstretched, Luo Zhen gestured for Kotobuki and her daughter to head to the research institute base.

His expression was very calm, showing no hesitation whatsoever just because he knew Kotobuki Tsumugi.

The research institute didn't put him in charge of this matter so that he could show his personal feelings.

"Luo Zhen, aren't you going?"

Just as she was about to leave the room, Kotobuki Tsumugi suddenly asked.

From Luo Zhen's words, it seems that he has no intention of leaving with them.

"I have other tasks to complete later."

Luo Zhen said somewhat vaguely.

The mission was actually to find the location where Tomie was to be taken in, but Luo Zhen felt there was no need to say so much.

After all, Kotobuki Tsumugi's memories need to be erased.

"Okay, and please take care."

With a slight bow, Kotobuki Tsumugi boarded the car, led by members of the research institute.

Although Luo Zhen himself didn't say it, it must be a very dangerous job, right?

If Kotobuki Tsumugi still can't guess what kind of "part-time job" Ryouma usually talks about, then she can be classified as Yui Hirasawa.

"I'll pay attention."

Nodding, Luo Zhen accepted Kotobuki Tsumugi's kindness.

"The rest is up to you."

After saying something to the squad leader beside him, Luo Zhen also left Kotobuki Tsumugi's house.

This matter is not over yet.

To prevent the Kotobuki Tsumugi family from noticing anything amiss after their memories are erased, the support staff are also responsible for cleaning up the scene.

Remove any unwanted traces and insert a reasonable record into the surveillance footage that was turned off during this period.

The clips featuring Tomie Kawakami also need to be edited.

"Hair is becoming increasingly thin."

The technician in charge of this matter touched his hairline, and his expression gradually became worried.

It wouldn't be difficult for a research institute to develop a potent hair growth product.

The challenge, however, is getting those researchers to realize that thinning hair is a major problem.

"How's Joseph doing?"

Sitting in the research institute's car, Luo Zhen took the tablet and asked a question.

"Investigator Joseph has not received any new information since arriving at the designated location."

"There are still 23 minutes left in the mission."

The research institute member in charge of driving quickly reported the mission details.

During the mission, the research institute had no members who slacked off.

"Okay, I know."

Luo Zhen nodded, indicating his understanding.

The vehicle began to slow down after entering the commercial street.

Through the brown car window, Luo Zhen could see Tomie's figure in the distance.

Even in a crowd, she was the most conspicuous one, and everyone around her was subconsciously looking at her.

Both men and women cast strange glances at this girl who looked like a high school student.

The man's eyes were filled with passion.

The woman's eyes were filled with jealousy, and she longed to take her place.

"JOJO, I've arrived."

"understood."

Joseph lowered his hand from the headset and stared intently at Tomie through the screen.

He knew very well just how dangerous this seemingly harmless guy really was.

Chapter 73 The Fire Eaters in Action

Within Chiba Prefecture, the three Tomie girls had unknowingly been surrounded by members of the research institute.

A group of special forces soldiers wearing specially designed exoskeletons and fully enclosed masks stared intently at Tomie in the crowd.

It was as if this was not a dangerous containment object, but a rare treasure.

'After holding back for so long, I can finally cook something.'

Due to a mistake made by a senior member, all members of the Fire Eater Squad are prohibited from using weapons to ignite objects outside of missions.

When this rule was announced, the entire Fire Eater squad groaned in despair.

The people who join this team usually have a bit of an urge to burn things.

Although I can't help it, I still feel really pent up.

At this moment, they were like a pack of hungry wolves, ready to pounce and hunt the little white rabbit at any moment.

Well, in their eyes, Tomie, whose charm was ineffective, was no different from a trembling little white rabbit.

Oh no, they can't bear to burn the little white rabbit, but they can bear to burn the Tomie.

They might even be very happy to burn it.

"Sigh~"

Suddenly, Tomie felt a chill run down her spine.

In all of Tomie's memories, this feeling was a first.

Who is she?

Tomie Kawakami!

She was always the one who instilled fear in others.

But now, she truly felt a sense of malice coming from her.

Unlike the previous ones, this malice was truly capable of devouring her.

It was devoid of resentment or anger, as if the malice was directed solely at her existence.

"Time's up, let's move!"

The person in charge of the operation inside the command vehicle put the microphone to his mouth, his eyes fixed on the time displayed on the screen.

When the appointed time arrived, with a command given, all the personnel stationed throughout the research institute sprang into action.

The Fire Eater squad members, carrying oil canisters marked with flammable symbols, quickly emerged from all corners and surrounded the somewhat bewildered Tomie.

The surrounding 'passersby' quickly dispersed like the receding tide.

I don't know when it started, but now this street is only frequented by people from the research institute.

Although Chiba doesn't have many investigators with considerable combat power, it does have some ordinary members of low rank.

A typical problem is a lack of high-end combat power and an overabundance of low-level personnel.

"you!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Just as Tomie, whose expression had changed drastically, was about to say something, four blood flowers exploded on Tomie's four limbs.

The special forces soldier, holding a sniper rifle, remained vigilant and continued to scan the surroundings.

People often say online that when a sniper receives a mission, he only fires one shot and never looks back at the result, regardless of the outcome.

It's not about self-confidence, but about my mental health.

From a psychological perspective, the psychological burden of shooting someone who poses no threat to oneself can be enormous.

However, this does not apply to members of the research institute.

Vulnerable people cannot enter research institutes, or at least cannot become combatants.

This is not just a matter of ability, but also a matter of mindset.

"Fire Eater Squad, in position."

The well-trained and fully equipped special forces soldiers jogged to Tomie's side, who lay in a pool of blood.

The spray gun was aimed at Tomie, whose face was full of resentment.

The special forces soldier beneath the mask calmly pulled the trigger, and scorching flames erupted from it.

Almost instantly, Tomie was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

The fire snakes slithered wildly across Tomie's body, burning her fair, jade-like skin into a charred black.

"Ahhhhh!!"

A piercing scream came from the sea of ​​fire, but no one released the trigger.

If the research institute members equipped with the necessary gear are influenced by Tomie, then the entire group in the equipment R&D department should resign and go home to raise pigs.

Perhaps before leaving, I'll have to perform a traditional seppuku for everyone.

In the blinding firelight, a figure writhing in agony could be vaguely seen.

The chilling screams grew weaker and weaker until they were finally extinguished in the sea of ​​fire.

The special forces soldiers still did not react to this.

The only sound that could be heard on the whole street was the crackling of things being burned.

That was Tomie's body burning.
