Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

The authorities never take such places lightly.

After receiving a reply that he understood, Luo Zhen took off his headphones.

At the end of the corridor, Sakamoto was leaning against the window, looking at the scenery.

"Let's go, it's time to go back to class."

"Ah."

Chapter Ninety-Two: Spectators? Also Actors

Inside the classroom, Luo Zhen propped his cheek up with one hand while writing and drawing on the notebook in front of him with the other.

He appeared to be taking notes or listening to a lecture, but in reality, an earphone was working under his ear, which was covered by his hand.

"The other party was perfectly normal until yesterday, without any unusual behavior."

"But after arriving at school today, I could tell that the other person was clearly trying to show off something on purpose."

"Later, he struck up a conversation with Eriri Sawamura in the club activity room, and they got into an argument."

“After Aki Tomoya arrived at the event room, he left immediately.”

After reporting on Masato Nakagi's situation, the research institute members fell silent.

His mission was complete, and he no longer cared about what would happen next.

"Okay, thank you."

After saying something softly, Luo Zhen cut off the communication, put the earphone in his pocket, and began to think.

There's no doubt that something must have happened to Masato Nakagi.

Judging from the time, it must have been last night. During that time, Masato Nakagi stayed at home and did not come out. It will take the research institute a lot of effort to find out what happened during that period.

And what about Masato Nakagi today?

He's a bit dim-witted.

That's the truth; that's what Luo Zhen really thinks.

It's actually quite simple. Imagine you're a billionaire, but you insist on wearing tattered clothes and trying to enter a banquet. When you're stopped by security, you don't identify yourself or show any proof that you're allowed to attend the banquet.

They just had to go in, and even when they were scolded, they weren't happy about it, and then they would put on a show and turn things around.

This is actually a very stupid thing to do.

Masato Nakagi has already accomplished part of the aforementioned actions.

Despite having nothing particularly commendable about him, he acted as if he were incredibly arrogant, and spoke to people with a condescending and condescending air.

If he wasn't brain-damaged from the impact, then he must have acquired something that makes him believe he has undergone a leap in social status.

Moreover, this is not something that can be directly displayed, otherwise Masato Ichinoki's performance would probably be being boasted about all over the world by now.

"It's most likely some kind of containment object."

Luo Zhen stopped tapping his fingers on the table, not because he had figured it out, but because he realized that this behavior would be considered noise by others.

After retracting his finger, Luo Zhen decided to pay more attention to Nakagi Masato from now on.

According to the research institute, such individuals will definitely not be able to resist using the power of the containment object to seek benefits for themselves within a week of obtaining it.

Of course, there may be some minor deviations, but it generally won't exceed Sunday.

People who want to prove they've been reborn have an inexplicable sense of ritual in these matters.

In fact, the research institute is quite lenient towards people who accidentally obtain containment items.

The premise is that you do not use the contained objects for evil purposes.

However, only a minority of people can think rationally. Most people's first reaction after obtaining the containment object is that they are going to become rich.

A few people even fantasize that they are the chosen protagonist and resist the research institute as a despicable villain.

From their perspective, it doesn't really matter, but the research institute doesn't care about that.

If you honestly hand over the abnormal items, the research institute can selectively ignore some harmless actions.

But if they put up a stubborn resistance, consider humane annihilation.

One of the things the research institute excels at.

Although the institute's primary mission is to combat containment objects, it has also developed a fairly comprehensive set of laws governing humanity during its long-term containment activities.

It sounds ironic, since this is a task that shouldn't be complicated for any organization.

But it is what it is.

After school, Luo Zhen didn't go to the Classical Literature Club in 8823 to slack off, nor did he go to the Light Music Club to drink tea and eat snacks. Instead, he went straight to Aki Tomoya's club.

Intelligence indicates that the other party is currently in the activity room.

He pulled a paper ema (votive plaque) from behind his back and hung it on his waist, instantly making Luo Zhen inconspicuous, the kind of person who would be ignored even if seen.

Rōjin walked openly into Aki Tomoya's club and casually chose a seat.

There are only three boys in the club now, and Eriri Sawamura is still in the art club.

Looking at the three silent people, Luo Zhen began to have wild thoughts.

'I previously suggested to 8823 that we change the club's name to Hung Hing, and I heard he's actually submitted the application. I wonder when it will be approved.'

'It's quite remarkable that Aki Tomoya hasn't given up on that unrealistic idea yet.'

Time passed slowly, and none of the three members of the club spoke.

Aki Tomoya was completely absorbed in a light novel, having reread it, and had forgotten about reality.

Masato Nakagi sat with his legs crossed, looking completely nonchalant.

Although Yoshiteru Shibamoto wanted to liven things up, he gave up on the idea after seeing Masato Nakagi.

In his eyes, I probably looked like a clown.

With this in mind, Yoshiteru Shibamoto's impression of Masato Nakagi worsened.

The eerie silence was broken when Eriri Sawamura pushed open the door to the activity room.

"Rinya! Weren't you the one who spread rumors that I joined this club?!"

After so long, Eriri Sawamura finally realized who had leaked the news.

Come to think of it, back then, only Aki Tomoya knew that she had joined the club. Who else could it be but him?

However, she was so overwhelmed by Aki Tomoya's words, which sounded like a 'confession,' that she didn't recover for several days.

After getting angry at noon today, my mind actually cleared up.

"Huh? What?"

Looking up, Aki Tomoya appeared completely bewildered.

Were you just talking to me?

What did you say?

At this moment, Aki Tomoya was filled with questions.

"I'm telling you, was it you who spread the word that I joined this club?!"

"Give me a proper explanation!"

Suppressing her anger, Eriri Sawamura repeated it again.

This time, Aki Tomoya understood.

He really did do it.

At first, he thought he could recruit people quickly, so he secretly told someone, "I'm telling you, Eriri has joined my club too, really, don't tell anyone else."

He hadn't managed to recruit anyone, and he had said "don't tell anyone" countless times.

"Eri, let me explain!"

Aki Tomoya hurriedly explained to Eriri.

It would be troublesome if this angered Eriri and caused her to leave the company.

Tomoya Aki was hoping to use Eriri's fame to attract other people.

Nakagi Masato remained silent, watching the farce unfold with the mindset of a spectator.

But what he didn't know was that there was someone next to him looking at him with the same eyes.

Those who think they are spectators are nothing more than laughable clowns in the eyes of others.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Your Laughter Is Really Unpleasant

Standing next to Nakagi Masato, Luo Zhen carefully examined the pockets on the other man's body.

Based on past experience, the person who finds the containment item is likely to wear it on their person.

I would only keep it at home if it was the kind of item that was inconvenient to carry.

'It's not convenient to start using it directly.'

Slightly annoyed, Luo Zhen scratched the back of his head, somewhat disliking the ema (votive plaque) at his waist.

While this item can conceal its own presence, it loses its effect if it touches other people.

That's how that guy was discovered.

He wanted to stage an X-rated scene, but almost got beaten to death.

"Forget it, I don't want to waste my time here."

After arguing fiercely with Aki Tomoya, Sawamura Eriri stormed out of the activity room after saying those words.

She was genuinely disappointed in Aki Tomoya.

He knew perfectly well that he didn't want to reveal his otaku tendencies, and joining this club was actually a bit of a stretch, but Aki Tomoya actually went around telling everyone about it.

Eriri Sawamura had very mixed feelings when she heard the news.

Ultimately, all these emotions coalesced into the impulse to strangle Aki Tomoya.

"Eri-ri!"

Seeing Eriri Sawamura slam the door and leave, Tomoya Aki seemed somewhat at a loss.

But in the end, he stubbornly found a seat and sat down.

Although he was wrong, was it necessary to be so angry?!

Even now, Aki Tomoya is still somewhat puzzled by Sawamura Eriri's anger.

Honestly, this is completely unreasonable!

Without even looking for the cause within himself, Aki Tomoya subconsciously began to shirk responsibility, finding excuses to push all the blame onto Eriri before he felt a little better.

Never mind, she'll calm down in a couple of days, I'll go see her then.

Having calmed down a bit, Aki Tomoya looked up, wanting to say something.

But he found that he was the only one left in the club activity room at some point.

"Eh? Where is the person?"

While Aki Tomoya was sulking, Nakagi Masato was the first to leave the activity room.

Although Eriri Sawamura teased him during his lunch break and he was quite annoyed, she was, after all, a cute girl.

Masato Nakagi is quite tolerant of girls.

Masato Nakagi, preoccupied with how to comfort Eriri Sawamura and win her heart, was unaware of the two people following behind him.

One is Rōjin, whose presence has been eliminated, and the other is Yoshiteru Shibamoto, who is somewhat uneasy.

Luo Zhen followed for a simple reason: he wanted to see what kind of containment object this guy had obtained.

The reasons for Yoshiteru Shibamoto's situation are somewhat complicated.

Simply put, he was somewhat wary of Masato Nakagi.
