Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Why risk others' lives because of your own petty emotions when you can reduce completely unnecessary casualties?

Anyway, Hyakki Funetaro himself couldn't make it.

Of course, criminals are an exception.

"Sorry, sorry, I was a little delayed on my way here."

Kogoro Mouri's signature loud voice came from afar.

Scratching the back of his head, Kogoro Mouri wore an apologetic smile.

Conan, standing to the side, silently rolled his eyes.

In fact, the man was delayed because he encountered two female college student fans on the street.

Closing the file in his hand, Hyakki Funetaro glanced at Conan standing next to Kogoro Mouri.

His eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

Nodding to Kogoro Mouri, Funetaro Hyakki began to recount the general outline of the matter.

Meanwhile, after settling Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue, Rozen returned to Soubu High School.

Chapter 1019 Akane Minagawa is very curious

"Is it okay to put it here?"

Luo Zhen put down the cardboard box in his hand and looked at Yamanaka Sawako beside him.

Although it's a holiday, recent graduates are still allowed to come in.

In addition, Luo Zhen had left a deep impression on the gatekeeper, so he was able to enter easily after simply greeting him.

Yes, this is all thanks to Sakamoto.

To be precise, the gatekeeper had a very deep impression of Sakamoto, while Luo Zhen was just a side effect.

As for why Luo Zhen is here...

That was because they received a request for help from Sawako Yamanaka.

Although Luo Zhen has already graduated, he was still a teacher with whom I spent two years.

Luo Zhen and Yamanaka Sawako have a good relationship.

Of course, it's just a normal teacher-student relationship or a good friendship.

Although she is a teacher, Sawako Yamanaka never puts on airs because of her personality.

When she's with the Light Music Club, she always appears as a caring older sister figure.

Well, except when people are trying on clothes.

"You've really been a great help, Luo Zhen."

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Sawako Yamanaka said with a smile.

Although Luo Zhen has already graduated, Yamanaka Sawako still likes to call him "classmate".

Actually, there are other teachers at the school.

But this is the Light Music Club, which holds many wonderful memories for everyone.

So Sawako Yamanaka thought she should ask Ryouma, who was also a member of the K-On! club, to help her tidy up.

Consider it a stepping stone for the younger generation, as a senior.

"The Light Music Club has become much quieter since everyone graduated."

“Azi was quite sad before.”

Looking at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar K-On! club room, Sawako Yamanaka felt a little emotional.

After Luo Zhen and the others left, the Light Music Club suddenly became quiet.

It was much less lively than usual.

Although Azusa Nakano is still around, that child isn't the type to enjoy being in a crowd.

Most of the time, he was led astray by the others.

Therefore, after the other members of the Light Music Club graduated, the club suddenly became very deserted.

A club with only one person can never be lively.

"Yes."

Looking at the group photo on the cabinet, Luo Zhen echoed.

This group photo was taken by Kotobuki Tsumugi before.

It's a typical day for a few people to drink black tea in the Light Music Club.

What was a daily occurrence for those people back then now seems somewhat distant.

Although Kotobuki Tsumugi and the others were admitted to the same university, Ryouma did not plan to go to university afterward.

Nakano Azusa still has a year before graduating.

Sawako Yamanaka, as a teacher at this school, is actually quite busy most of the time.

And then there are the occasional drinking parties with single teachers.

The time they can get together will likely be even less.

Following Luo Zhen's gaze, Yamanaka Sawako also saw the group photo.

Next to this group photo of the K-On! club is a group photo of Sawako Yamanaka's class.

Everyone from back then has gone far away, and it's the same now.

"Then, Ms. Sawako, I'll head back now."

After helping Sawako Yamanaka tidy up the Light Music Club a bit, Rozen prepared to leave.

I came here to help Sawako Yamanaka tidy up a bit and to retrieve the documents I had left here.

To prepare for the exam, Luo Zhen specially printed out a huge amount of materials and practice questions.

The result was that the page remained blank until the end of the exam.

He himself had forgotten that such a thing existed, piled up at the Light Music Club's place.

It was Sawako Yamanaka who discovered it while tidying up.

Although I wrote my name on the cover, the inside was completely blank.

"By the way, Luo Zhen, could you grant me a small request before you leave?"

As if she had thought of something, Sawako Yamanaka looked at Ryouma with an expectant expression.

"What's wrong, Ms. Sawako?"

Although it was a question, Luo Zhen had already roughly guessed what Yamanaka Sawako was thinking.

After all, she had been looking forward to this for two years, but Luo Zhen had never agreed.

"Could you please change into the clothes I prepared?"

Sawako Yamanaka pulled out a very wild-looking leather jacket from somewhere and looked at Rozen expectantly.

She noticed it when Luo Zhen first joined the Light Music Club.

This child, who is usually not very talkative, would look quite suitable in those wild clothes.

"Sorry, I refuse."

Unsurprisingly, Luo Zhen refused without the slightest hesitation.

He always respected this style of clothing without complaint.

Luo Zhen himself admitted that he couldn't pull off leather jackets and pants.

"No, Luo Zhen!"

“You’ve already graduated, and you might not come back for a while.”

"Please grant my wish, teacher, since this is such a rare opportunity!"

"Otherwise, I would be very disappointed!"

Sawako Yamanaka exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

She had been holding a grudge about this matter, and Luo Zhen had always disagreed with her request.

Mingming and Azi reluctantly agreed.

But only Luo Zhen held on tightly and refused to let go.

"Then it's a pity."

"That's life, after all, Ms. Sawako."

"Regret and failure are always part of life. Compared to a perfect ending, a tragic ending is more memorable."

Luo Zhen patted the blank test paper in his hand and said without any mercy.

Just like this blank exam paper.

Sometimes leaving things blank is the best ending.

"Ugh..."

glaring angrily at Luo Zhen, Yamanaka Sawako finally gave up.

"There's really nothing I can do against you."

"Goodbye then, Rozen-kun."

With a relieved smile on her face, Sawako Yamanaka waved to Ryouma.

After watching Luo Zhen leave, Yamanaka Sawako also prepared to depart.

Just then, a crisp sound rang out.

Was that boy from our school also a student?

A woman with long, cherry-blossom-colored hair walked over and asked softly.

Although she was talking to Sawako Yamanaka, her eyes were fixed on the direction where Rozen had left.

"Ah, Minagawa-sensei."

Startled, Sawako Yamanaka explained:

"Luo Zhen is a student who graduated last year. He just came back today to pick up his things."

"That's it."

Looking away, Minagawa Akane seemed lost in thought.

But judging from the upturned corners of their mouths, they must have thought of something very interesting.

"Then I'll be going now, Minagawa-sensei."

Seeing Minagawa Akane's appearance, Yamanaka Sawako prepared to leave.

Although they are colleagues, I don't particularly like this teacher, Sawako Yamanaka.

Although this teacher only arrived this semester, he seems to have some bad reputation.

I have no idea what the higher-ups are thinking.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Yamanaka."

Chapter 1020 So-called Timely Loss Cut

Sawako Yamanaka paused, turning back to look at the new teacher she didn't particularly like.

For some reason, this new teacher always made her feel both grateful and uncomfortable.

She looks like a great beauty, but we just don't get along.

"What's wrong, Minagawa-sensei?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask Mr. Yamanaka about things at school."
