Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

In this state, Tara is immune to physical attacks and most magical attacks, and possesses the abilities to teleport, pass through walls, control objects with her mind, and launch psychic attacks.

Only the magic of onions can have an effect on it.

Well, that's how it was before.

But that's not necessarily the case now.

"Hmm? I think I just heard a sound?"

A priest holding a broom came out from behind.

I have a feeling that I just heard something.

Is it an illusion?

Shaking his head, the priest turned and went back to his room.

Since the shrine was bought by a big boss and became a semi-private shrine, the number of people coming to worship has decreased significantly.

It's already quite good that three people came this morning. On weekdays, it might only be one or two people coming. After all, although the shrine is said to be semi-open, it is actually more like a private place.

People in Japan are very averse to causing trouble for others.

To be precise, the people who came to worship this morning were two adult men and one child.

It's quite rare to see a child come to a shrine alone.

Just as I was thinking this, the child from that morning returned.

He still had an inquisitive expression on his face.

"Um, old priest..."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Conan revealed a childlike, innocent smile.

To be honest, it's somewhat fake.

But older people of this age are quite receptive to this approach.

After all, that's how the elderly see it.

This is how children should be.

"Little friend, is there anything I can help you with?"

The priest crouched down and gently rubbed Conan's head.

"It's like this..."

Conan quickly explained his purpose.

Chapter 1052 Has Yagami Taichi finally seen the light?

After leaving the shrine, Conan squatted down by the roadside with a troubled expression.

Conan is now wondering if something is wrong with him.

Why do I feel like there are so many big cases and events happening lately?

But I can't find a single clue.

To be fair, if you ignore that feeling of disharmony in your heart, everything seems to be normal.

Is it really true, as Uncle Mori said, that I've become obsessed with playing detective games?

"No, no, there must be something I haven't noticed."

Conan slapped his face hard, reaffirming his decision.

My intuition as a detective is absolutely correct.

Although it's not the best way to put it, detective work is a profession that relies on evidence and clues.

Intuition doesn't seem to be the most suitable thing to do.

But in fact, Conan has a lot of faith in his intuition.

After all, Conan's intuition as a former detective had indeed helped him many times in the past cases.

Sighed.

Conan stood up and patted his butt.

I continued wandering aimlessly down the street.

There really aren't many good places for Conan to go these days.

Leaving aside my own house and Uncle Mori's house, Professor Agasa accidentally blew up my house again when I went back last time.

As for the members of the Junior Detective Club...

He wouldn't play those elementary school games with them, okay?

As Conan passed by a coffee shop, a familiar face came into his view.

"This is!"

Conan, who had been somewhat nonchalant, suddenly pressed himself against the glass of the coffee shop.

The guests sitting by the window were startled.

However, Conan didn't care about this person's feelings.

At that moment, he was staring intently at someone inside the coffee shop.

That student named Luo Zhen!

Conan was genuinely excited when he saw Ryouma.

They had tried very hard to find Luo Zhen, but to no avail.

On the one hand, it was because we knew absolutely nothing about Luo Zhen, and on the other hand, it was because time was too tight.

By the time Conan thought of going to find Ryouma, Professor Agasa had already reminded him several times that he should go back.

Unexpectedly, I ran into this person after returning to Mika.

Is this what they call an unexpected surprise?

At this moment, inside the coffee shop—

Luo Zhen's gaze swept back and forth between the two people opposite him.

Let's leave aside Taichi Yagami for now.

But Mochizuki Meiko, who was a bit more shy, couldn't help but turn her head away.

Luo Zhen only withdrew his teasing gaze when Yagami Taichi was about to speak up.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that."

Luo Zhen looked at the two of them with amazement.

Honestly, he didn't expect that Taichi Yagami would actually have an epiphany.

Using the word "enlightenment" to describe it might be a little inappropriate.

After all, Taichi Yagami is not someone who knows nothing about romance.

Previously, I was simply a little resistant to the topic of love due to various reasons.

But once you figure it out, everything will be fine.

Although the two have not officially established a relationship yet, it seems that it is not far off.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to act so intimately.

When Luo Zhen found Yagami Taichi earlier, the two were shopping together.

Anyone who didn't know the situation would think the two were a very loving couple.

"What do you mean 'unexpected'? Do you think I'm that kind of blockhead?"

Taichi Yagami couldn't help but complain.

In fact, there's not much difference.

The previous Taichi Yagami was even worse than a piece of wood.

Wood is just a little slow to react in this regard.

However, after sensing the other party's feelings, Yagami Taichi chose to remain silent and not respond.

Perhaps they're thinking of leaving the choice to time.

However, this approach is clearly inappropriate for girls.

Faced with the shy yet firm and passionate feelings of Mochizuki Meiko, Yagami Taichi himself was actually quite conflicted.

In addition, his sister, who was afraid that her older brother would grow old alone, would give Yagami Taichi psychological advice from time to time.

Finally, Taichi Yagami let go of his inner turmoil.

Choose to face this relationship head-on.

Although I don't know where the future will lead, or whether we will continue on this path.

But at least for now, I cannot respond with silence.

If you're not even willing to take the first step, there will absolutely be no further development.

Taichi Yagami was well aware of this.

"Actually, it doesn't matter much."

Luo Zhen shrugged and replied.

Previously, it was Yagami Taichi who complained about Ryouma's slow-wittedness; now it's Ryouma's turn to tease Yagami Taichi.

It just goes to show that karma is a cycle.

With a slight pout, Yagami Taichi indicated that he didn't want to continue discussing this topic with Ryouma.

Taichi Yagami also knew what kind of person he was before.

To put it nicely, because of past experiences, they are exceptionally serious and cautious when it comes to relationships.

To put it bluntly, it's hesitant, awkward, and pretentious.

Anyway, that's what Taichi Yagami himself thinks.

In fact, this is understandable.

"Speaking of which, are you sure you don't plan to continue your university studies?"

Taking a small sip of his coffee, Yagami Taichi looked up at Luo Zhen and asked him a question.

If I remember correctly, Luo Zhen always said that he didn't want to go to school or attend classes.

But the results were surprisingly good.

It's not difficult to get into a university based solely on your own abilities.

"No, there's no need."

Nodding, Luo Zhen said nonchalantly.

Although everyone wants highly educated people these days.

Even combat personnel need cultural literacy.

But for Luo Zhen, he had already mastered most of the knowledge he needed to.

A brain is meaningless if it's not used to rust.

"Ok."

Taichi Yagami didn't say much about it.

Everyone has their own choices, and Luo Zhen himself knows this very well.

The two, or rather the three, tacitly agreed to chat about trivial matters in their lives, without mentioning anything about the mechanism or the unusual events.

After all, this is a public place.

The kind of operation where they would secretly plot an important battle in public is impossible for these three people.

Unless they've been hit by a brain-degrading aura.
