Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

"I'm talking about Takina..."

"Oh!"

"what!"

Chizuka Nishiki, who was chatting and laughing, accidentally bumped into a girl.

The box in the other person's hand immediately fell to the ground.

"Feel sorry!"

"It's alright, it's alright, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

Waving his hand, Narumi Ryou, who had fallen to the ground, looked at the girl in front of him, who was about the same age as him, with some surprise.

I'm the type of person who exercises regularly.

And yet, it was accidentally knocked over?

It’s weird.

Although it sounds a bit arrogant, Mei Ryou believes that she has a very good physique among girls.

But it was knocked over in an instant.

"Sorry sorry!"

With her hands clasped together in apology, Nishiki Chizuki wore an apologetic smile.

This was the first time I had left my city so freely, without any mission on my mind.

Both she and Takina were a little too excited.

As a result, I accidentally bumped into someone.

This is trouble.

We need to hurry and help them get things sorted out...

"Ah?"

Originally intending to help the other person pick up the box, Nishiki Chizuki blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the contents of the box with some curiosity.

A beautifully crafted doll.

It looks like something some people use when performing ventriloquism.

Although it looks ordinary, for some reason Chizuka Nishiki always feels that this doll is a little strange.

Did his eyes move just now?

Looking at the doll with some hesitation, Chizuka Nishiki was unsure of what to do.

"Excuse me, may I ask where you got this doll?"

This doll always gave Chizuka Nishiki a very bad feeling.

The same goes for Inoue Takina, who is standing to the side.

The moment I saw this doll, I felt the hairs on the back of my head stand on end.

It looks like I saw something disgusting and dirty.

Although they had been helping out at the coffee shop during this time, they had at least learned some things at the Tokyo base.

Chapter 1008 Ventriloquism Doll?

"Huh? Is there something wrong with this doll?"

Patting his bottom and standing up, Narumi looked at Nishiki Chizuka and Inoue Takina with some curiosity.

The two people's expressions turned strange after seeing the doll.

His gaze swept over the two of them, and Narumi Ryou carefully examined the person who had knocked him down.

Thanks to his idiotic father who always works overtime, Narumi Ryou has an amazing ability to observe.

In addition, with the occasional games that father and daughter play when they're bored, Narumi Ryouko can quickly determine a person's general profession and personality.

Yes, this father and daughter were always in a state of boredom when their mother dragged them back to her parents' home.

On one occasion, Akito Naruhira, wanting to amuse his daughter, suggested a little game: to describe people based on clues they made on the street.

Although it sounds high-level, most people can actually say a few words about it.

The father and daughter were just joking around; they weren't taking it too seriously.

However, Narumi Ryou did discover a lot of useful information.

'Looks like you exercise regularly.'

'And it wasn't specifically for a particular sport that I trained.'

For some reason, Narumi Ryou felt that he could sense something familiar about these two people.

But I can't quite remember where I saw it before.

As thoughts raced through his mind, the real-life Meiko Narumi honestly answered the question:

“There was a foreign woman who looked quite young selling things over there in that park.”

"It is said to be one of 101 ventriloquist puppets created by one of the best ventriloquist performers with all his heart and soul."

Ming Piaoliang doesn't really believe in this kind of story.

Just like the gifts her unreliable father bought from roadside stalls always came with a bunch of strange stories.

However, the gift for my mom was very thoughtful.

Thinking of this, Narumi Mutsuki pouted somewhat unhappily.

She's probably the kind of child described online as "the parents are true love, the child is an accident."

Regarding this, Narumi said he's pretty much used to it.

So why did I buy this thing?

Looking at the fairly well-made ventriloquist puppet with a belated realization, Narumi Ryou rubbed his head in confusion.

Ming Piaoliang is quite different from ordinary girls.

She doesn't have a high desire to spend money, and she's not particularly interested in cute or fun things.

I vaguely remember that one time at the beginning of spring break, my dad gave her a Fukuzawa Yukichi card.

When spring break ended, the Fukuzawa Yukichi card was still safely in her pocket.

After that, her father stopped giving her much pocket money.

Today, surprisingly, Ming Piaoliang bought a plain and unremarkable doll.

She herself found it a little strange.

"That's it."

Seeing that Narumi looked just as confused as he was, Nishiki Chizuka and Inoue Takina exchanged a glance.

They both saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

Before leaving the Chiba base some time ago, Nishiki Chizuka was taken to see the camphor tree, whose oil lamp had almost burned out.

That guy wasn't killed outright by Jingxi.

However, her body, already overburdened from the two injections of temporary compound No. 5, was on the verge of collapse after being brutally beaten by Tojo Nozomi and Kagami Nozomi.

If Luo Zhen hadn't helped him up when he was brought back, he probably would have already passed away.

On the way to see Kusunoki, Nishiki Chizuka also encountered many crazy and bizarre containment objects.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, it left a deep impression on her, making her remember this sense of disharmony.

Although it exists in this world, it always feels somewhat out of place, making people feel disgusted when they see it.

Chizuka Nishiki also saw that feeling in this ventriloquist puppet.

While Inoue Takina wasn't quite sure what this feeling was like, she trusted Nishiki Chizuka very much.

From their first meeting, Chizuka Nishiki gave Takina Inoue a very reliable feeling.

Of course, this only applies to serious and earnest situations.

The usual Thousand Pieces of Nishiki...

Forget it, I'm not going to say anything more.

"What should we do about this, Takina?"

Glancing at Narumi Ryou, who was still in a daze, Nishiki Chizuka pulled Inoue Takina aside and asked in a low voice.

If she had been in the DA organization before, Chizuka Nishiki might have simply ignored her.

After all, how could supernatural powers possibly exist?

Now that we know that supernatural forces really exist, we can no longer stand idly by.

Although they only exchanged a few words, Chizuka Nishiki had a pretty good impression of this person of the same age.

It's about a top ventriloquist artist painstakingly creating 101 ventriloquist puppets before his death.

That sounds ominous.

If this puppet were on the set of a horror movie, she would believe it if it jumped out at any moment and stabbed both her and Takina.

"Well, how about we contact Senior Luo Zhen first?"

After thinking for a moment, Inoue Takina also spoke in a low voice as if she had done something wrong.

Although both of them had signed the demon contract and become official members of the organization.

But neither of them had received formal training.

As Shinobu Kocho previously stated, even highly trained special forces soldiers cannot face anomalous creatures alone.

Only the best investigators can be confident about this.

After all, the most troublesome thing about abnormal creatures is that they are unknown.

When facing unusual creatures, Inoue Takina has little confidence in her own abilities.

It would be troublesome if we accidentally dragged ourselves and Chizuka into a pit.

'Senior Luo Zhen?'

Narumi Ryou, who had been in a daze, twitched her ears and looked at the two people in front of her with some curiosity.

I think I just heard a familiar name.

Is it an illusion?

It must be an illusion.

Narumi Ryou couldn't fathom how Luo Zhen could possibly have any connection with these two people his own age.

After all, although Senior Luo Zhen seems to be quite popular at school.

But actually, he's not the type to actively make friends.

So I must have misheard.

Nodding, Ming Piaoliang thought to himself.

Just as she was about to say something, a slightly familiar voice came from behind her.

"Miss, it's not good to treat a puppet like that."

Her body stiffened, and Ming Piaoliang slowly turned around.

A woman with shoulder-length blonde hair was looking at her with a smile.

He seems like a nice person.

But all that Narumi could see in those blue eyes was endless coldness and malice.

He stared intently at his hand holding the ventriloquist doll, which was covered in dust from when it had fallen to the ground.

Narumi Ryou always felt that this woman was about to attack him at any moment.

His body was incredibly stiff, and Narumi Ryou wanted to move and say something.
