Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

This was a rare vacation for both of them.

Compared to Ryouma, who still has several days of vacation left, Yagami Taichi's vacation is ending tomorrow.

After all, Taichi Yagami doesn't have many holidays, so he naturally wouldn't take many days off at once like Ryouma.

"That's what they say, but I don't really know what to do."

Inside the coffee shop, Luo Zhen idly stirred his drink.

Even though I don't drink coffee, why do I always end up chatting with people in coffee shops?

Luo Zhen expressed his incomprehension.

In fact, Taichi Yagami doesn't drink coffee very often.

In terms of daily life, like Luo Zhen, Yagami Taichi, who devotes most of his time to missions, doesn't really understand the daily life of a normal Japanese high school student.

A few friends from my class had invited Taichi Yagami to come here before.

So, it was only natural for Taichi Yagami to include the coffee shop in his list of friends to invite.

He really didn't know much about other places either.

"How about helping me if you have nothing else to do?"

Taichi Yagami, who also came to the coffee shop but didn't drink coffee, said with a smile.

He's been quite busy lately.

I don't usually spend much more time with Jia'er, which is why I specially brought her out to play during this holiday.

Although Jia'er said she was fine and didn't care.

But how could Taichi Yagami, as the older brother, not care?

"Forget it, I'm too busy to handle things on my own."

Luo Zhen waved his hand and said listlessly.

He truly had no intention of interfering in what was happening in Tokyo.

Since the Aokigahara Forest was burned to the ground, evil spirits that should have gathered there began to appear in various parts of Japan.

Although they aren't like the troublesome creatures in the Aokigahara Forest, these little things are even more of a headache.

Especially in places like Tokyo.

A large amount of negative and dark emotions converge, and new small evil spirits are born almost every day.

As a result, the businesses of those temples and shrines have also improved considerably.

The number of people coming to our door every day has increased significantly.

Some people genuinely encountered problems, while others simply overthought things or something else entirely.

It's best not to have too many expectations of temples and the like; just seek peace of mind.

More often than not, it depends on human effort.

You pray to God to let you win five million, God begs you to buy a lottery ticket.

"As expected."

Taichi Yagami said nonchalantly.

He had only mentioned it casually, and he didn't really expect Luo Zhen to come to the Tokyo branch to help.

If he had the time, Joseph, who had just taken office, would probably come and take Rozen back himself.

I'm giving you time off so you can take some time to adjust your physical and mental state.

So you're going to move me to another place to work overtime?

Are you perhaps suffering from some kind of illness?

After a pause, the two returned to discussing everyday matters.

After all, this is a public place, and it's not really appropriate to talk about private topics.

In every sense.

Beside them, Asukai Kiki and Yagami Hikari were quietly discussing some private topics between girls.

Luo Zhen and Yagami Taichi were very conscious of not trying to pry into the girls' private conversations.

It's common knowledge that guys shouldn't try to pry into girls' little secrets.

After all, it's inevitable that some inappropriate things will be said.

Girls can make up very naturally within a few days after arguing, saying bad things, or even tearing each other apart.

But obviously, boys can't.

The most likely outcome is that you'll be the one who gets ostracized.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be a book signing event nearby."

"Want to take a look?"

As if he had thought of something, Yagami Taichi looked at Luo Zhen and asked a question.

Although Luo Zhen is a frequent visitor to the Tokyo base, I can barely be considered a half-host.

What's the point of just sitting in this coffee shop all the time?

"sure."

Nodding, Luo Zhen readily agreed.

But the next second, as if he had thought of something, he turned to look at Asukai Kiki beside him, his eyes revealing a questioning look.

"I have no problem."

Feeling Luo Zhen's gaze, Asukai Kiki smiled and nodded.

Hikari Yagami, standing to the side, also nodded to her brother to indicate that there was no problem.

To be honest, it doesn't matter where they go.

As long as the people around you are the ones you hope for, that's enough.

Meanwhile, at the autograph session—

"It's almost over."

During a break in the autograph session, Kasumigaoka Utaha came out to get some fresh air.

To be honest, the book performed much better than she had expected.

When it was first released, it was about the same as the previous one, but then its sales suddenly skyrocketed.

Don't know why.

But it should be a good thing, right? Maybe?

As the sky gradually darkened, Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed lost in thought.

This unexpected result has left her somewhat flustered, unsure of how to proceed.

I have a feeling that this result is a bit too good, and it doesn't reflect her true ability.

It was a stroke of luck, not a sudden stroke of good fortune.

This made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel both surprised and flustered.

From a rational point of view, she should continue writing.

Even if the writing isn't very good, you can still make easy money.

Make money, not shabby.

But from another perspective, Kasumigaoka Utaha really wanted to write a good book.

After all, one must live up to the expectations of those who read one's books.

I'm sorry to say that I've never been in a relationship, so all these so-called dating tips and tricks are just theoretical.

"Ms. Kasumi Shiko, the book signing event will continue!"

Just as Kasumigaoka Utaha was lost in thought, a call brought her back to reality.

After responding, he quickly returned to his seat.

I picked up the pen that the editor had prepared for me and scribbled a couple of lines on a piece of white paper to loosen up my wrist.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath and once again put on a formulaic smile.

To be honest, I never had a good impression of Kasumigaoka Utaha at any of her autograph sessions.

All sorts of people scrutinize me with all sorts of eyes.

This feeling is, to be honest, terrible.

But this is an opportunity that many people want but cannot get.

Am I being a bit dramatic?

Kasumigaoka Utaha laughed with a hint of self-deprecation.

Just as Kasumigaoka Utaha was adjusting her state, several unexpected figures appeared in her line of sight.

"Hmm? This is..."

Chapter 817, Section 838: The Hill of Mist: About My Becoming the Head of the CP (Content Maker)

"So why come to a place like this?"

The girl with a cold expression looked at her older sister with dissatisfaction.

Although they are sisters, the two give off a very different vibe.

It was incredibly cold and desolate, like an iceberg in the far north.

The sheer chill emanating from it is enough to freeze you.

The other person had a nice smile on their face, but for some reason, they gave off a feeling that this person was not easy to approach.

I always feel like the other person is from a different world than me.

This feeling is subtle, but it's real.

If I had to give this feeling a name, it would be a sense of distance.

It seems like you could strike up a conversation with anyone, but you also maintain a perfectly appropriate distance from everyone.

Overcoming this sense of distance is no less difficult than striking up a conversation with the aloof girl next to you.

"Of course, I'm here to see this genius young female writer whom even I, her older sister, admire."

Holding a light novel that had just been opened, Yukinoshita Haruno said with a grin.

He always has that smile on his face.

It's frustrating.

Every time Yukino Yukinoshita sees that smile on her older sister's face, she feels inexplicably annoyed.

It might be because her older sister always treated her like a child.

Speaking of which, Yukino Yukinoshita and Suzune Horikita, whose memories were recently erased, are quite similar.

This applies to personality, public image, and family background.

Both of them have a very aloof personality and are not very willing to be kind to others, at least at first glance.

Both of them are aloof and have long, straight black hair. They are both excellent in their studies and have quick thinking.

In their families, they all have an older sister or brother who treats them like children.

But without a doubt, Yukino Yukinoshita surpasses Suzune Horikita in every aspect except physical strength.

Yukino Yukinoshita's aloofness is more of a means of self-protection.

It's not that she's incapable of being kind to others, she just feels it's unnecessary.

She will lend a helping hand to others if they need it.
