Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Who knows, at some point Luo Zhen might feel it's no longer useful and casually kill it to replace it with a new Kyubey.

But these days of anxiety are about to end!

With his eyes fixed intently on Homura Akemi outside the glass, Kyubey knew his chance was right there!

The arrival of this girl will end my life of constant fear!

According to Kyubey's prediction, this girl will definitely ask Rōzō to help her in that world later, since they alone cannot handle Witch Night.

If Luo Zhen goes there, he will definitely clash with the Incubators, and the Incubators might be wiped out.

In other words, at that time, I will be the only Cupid.

And Luo Zhen will no longer be bothered by the Incubator Clan.

so!

"We have a common enemy, Homura!"

Looking firmly at Homura Akemi, Kyubey spoke righteously.

I'm sorry, my fellow countrymen.

In order to survive, I have decided to betray you.

There's nothing I can do about it, since I'm in real danger right now.

Moreover, you yourselves don't seem to have much desire to live.

So it's acceptable to exchange your deaths for my life, right?

Since gaining love, Cupid's views on many things have changed.

The most direct point is: What does the heat death of the universe have to do with me? As long as I can live, that's all that matters.

The heat death of the universe will be handled by those who are capable of it. Why should a mere chubby like me worry about such a thing?

The tech tree of the incubators is quite perplexing.

It's already involved the soul, and it looks like they're even going into the courtyard.

But it seems that's all there is to it.

More often than not, it feels completely unscientific and not magical at all.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Although Kyubey said that, Homura Akemi didn't appreciate it.

If it and Cupid really have some common enemy.

That's that not-so-bright brain.

If someone can identify a common enemy, they're probably out of their mind.

Ironically, I really wanted to blow this head off.

"I'm serious."

With its large tail swaying behind it, Kyubey spoke in its soft, sweet voice.

Although it was a cute female voice, it sounded so harsh and disgusting to Homura Akemi's ears.

In order to lure human girls into signing contracts to become magical girls.

So Cupid deliberately shaped himself into this cute and harmless appearance.

If the incubator targets another race, it will become the adorable image in the eyes of the underage females of that race.

If the chosen element is a type that counters it, it might turn into a twisted and ferocious form.

"listen to me......"

Over the next few minutes, Kyubey explained his goals to Homura Akemi in detail, as well as the pros and cons of the two of them working together.

In short, it means that as long as you're not out of your mind, you should join forces.

Although Kyubey didn't say it, Homura Akemi felt that way.

"You're right. Logically speaking, I really have no reason to refuse."

Homura Akemi crossed her arms and said thoughtfully.

Indeed, no matter what, it seemed like I had no reason to refuse.

Inside the containment room, Kyubey tilted his head and looked at Homura Akemi.

For some reason, it felt that the scene was somewhat familiar.

It seems that Luo Zhen has used this trick on it before.

Just when it thought Homura Akemi would say, "But I refuse," Homura Akemi readily agreed.

"can."

Although I loathe Kyubey, compared to saving Madoka and eliminating the Incubators, a little loathing is completely insignificant.

Moreover, this matter is still far from being settled.

The most important thing now is the attitude of the man in front of you.

Turning around, Homura Akemi looked at Ryouma seriously.

Although he was much shorter than Luo Zhen, he was in no way inferior in terms of imposing presence.

Their purplish-gray pupils met, and Homura Akemi said earnestly:

"I....."

Chapter 935, Section 956: Helping in a Personal Capacity

"please help me!"

"Bend over forcefully," Homura Akemi said loudly.

Honestly, she didn't know what gave her the right to shamelessly ask this man for help.

After all, when I think about it carefully, I seem to have nothing at all.

If we had to say, only moral blackmail could have some effect?

But this was something she didn't want to do.

At least for now, Homura Akemi is unwilling to do so.

She felt disgusted that she would resort to such despicable means when dealing with someone who had shown her kindness.

Honestly, she was embarrassed herself, wondering how she could have said it.

They shamelessly asked for something even though they had nothing.

But this was the only way to save Madoka.

Looking at the girl bowing to him, Luo Zhen scratched the back of his head in annoyance.

People in Japan seem to really enjoy bowing.

Bow when you speak, bow when you express gratitude, and bow when you apologize.

Bow when helping someone, and bow when being asked to do something.

It seems that bowing has become an instinctive behavior, as natural as breathing.

But bowing holds a very high place in the hearts of the Japanese.

There's nothing a bow can't solve; if there is, then kneel down.

Anyway, that's how it is with all the Japanese officials and entertainers who have made mistakes.

It's as if bowing makes everything seem like it's all over.

"What level of help are you referring to?"

With his arms crossed, Luo Zhen looked down at Homura Akemi and said.

Although I sympathize with the girl's plight, she is not the kind of weak character who needs pity.

"Defeat Witch Night and save Mitakihara..."

As she spoke, Homura Akemi's voice also softened.

It's about sending someone you didn't even know the day before to risk great danger to fight and save your hometown.

That's so embarrassing.

Honestly, if it were the Homura Akemi of the past, she would have crawled into a hole and disappeared by now.

Despite having been through a lot, Homura Akemi's skin isn't very thick yet.

If it were her in the future, she might not hesitate to ask for help, and she would immediately resort to methods like moral blackmail, which she is unwilling to use now.

Everything was for the sake of saving Madoka.

If possible, please also save the other magical girls while you're at it.

In all the previous loops, there were times when Homura Akemi became friends with everyone.

But in the end, whether it's friendship or any other kind of bond, it doesn't matter.

They all vanished in the raging winds of Witch's Night.

The corpses of his friends fell from the sky, and the laughter of the Witch's Night echoed in the air.

At that moment, something inside Homura Akemi broke.

"My job is usually to contain anomalous creatures in the Chiba area and control any unusual events that occur."

"It shouldn't include going to another world to save a place I don't know about."

After staring at Homura Akemi for a few seconds, Luo Zhen slowly spoke.

"Just as I thought," Homura Akemi thought to herself, pursing her lips.

Although I was mentally prepared to be rejected, it still hurts.

But now is not the time to be upset. Since I've been rejected, I need to find another way.

Whether we stay to find a solution or go back, we can't waste any more time.

Just as Homura Akemi was about to say goodbye, Rōma continued:

"So you'll have to wait two days. Once I finish my current work, I can help in my personal capacity."

"But now, I need to get my work done."

Eh?

Homura Akemi, who was already preparing to say goodbye, blinked.

Did I just hear something wrong?

Has this person agreed to my request?

really?

Did I hear wrongly?

They had clearly been ready to refuse before.

"Investigator Luo Zhen is actually a very nice person."

Inside the containment chamber, Kyubey's large tail swayed back and forth.

Compared to Homura Akemi's worry and nervousness, Kyubey appeared very calm.

Although Ryougi always appeared fierce in front of him, Kyubey knew that Ryougi was actually a soft-hearted person.

The reason I always put on a difficult-to-approach attitude is because I know that once I know those sad things, it will be hard for me to choose to stand idly by.

So I simply use this method to stay away from those ways that might lead me to learn about sad things.

Luo Zhen glanced at Kyubey in the containment room, but said nothing more.

But when he sensed Kyubey in front of Luo Zhen, he froze.

If it were a cat, its fur would probably be all puffed up by now.
