Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

If someone always claims to be law-abiding, then that person definitely has a problem.

After all, most people wouldn't emphasize this.

Isn't this perfectly normal for the vast majority of people?

Only someone with a guilty conscience would keep saying that.

Similarly, those who always tell others to put themselves in others' shoes and be considerate of them are usually the ones who understand this principle the least.

Seeing Aki Tomoya's expression, Rojin didn't say anything more.

Let's finish this sooner rather than later.

The pupils contract slightly.

An indescribable pressure suddenly erupted.

Aki Tomoya instinctively sensed something was wrong and subconsciously tried to order the ghost soldiers to rush out.

However.......

"Pfft-"

It was like a deflated ball, or like something being punctured.

Those terrifying ghostly soldiers were all wiped out in an instant.

Only Aki Tomoya was left standing there, dumbfounded.

What happened?

"Oops!"

Realizing something was wrong, Aki Tomoya waved his hand again to summon more ghost soldiers, while retreating into the grove behind him.

But as soon as he started to move, a large hand pressed down on his head.

Chapter 1059 Aki Tomoya's Dream Comes to an End

The moment his head was slammed hard against the tree, Aki Tomoya seemed to suddenly realize something.

It seems, perhaps, maybe, I've mistaken someone for someone else again?

Hey, why should I say it again?

There's a strange sense of familiarity about it.

How is this going?

Although I have many doubts, now is clearly not the time to think about them.

"Wait a minute, Luo Zhen!"

"I think we can discuss this!"

Grabbing hard at Luo Zhen's forearm, trying to move the large hand pressing against his face, Aki Tomoya spoke with some difficulty and indistinctness.

At this moment, Aki Tomo was filled with regret, deep regret.

If he could do it all over again, he would definitely choose to avoid Luo Zhen and would never make a sarcastic remark.

But now that it's happened, it's too late to say anything.

The most important thing now is to get out of there.

But Luo Zhen didn't seem to want to waste any more words with him.

Aki Tomoya could only watch helplessly as Rōjin's other hand, which was flashing with purple light, reached out to grab his face.

Although there was no basis for it, Aki Tomo felt that he absolutely could not be caught by this big hand.

It seemed as if getting caught would mean losing something.

"Wait a moment!"

"No! Don't come over here!"

"There are still so many things I want to do!"

"I can't just lose my power like this!"

The already ferocious face, covered by the ghost mask, seemed even more terrifying at this moment.

Once the Ghost Mask finds a host, it seems to become something very soft, or rather, it changes along with the host's facial expressions and movements.

It doesn't feel like a hard mask, but rather a thin layer.

At Aki Tomoya's feet and around him, countless clawed ghost soldiers emerged from the darkness and surged toward Rōzō one after another.

He couldn't wait to tear Luo Zhen to pieces.

If it were the previous Tomoya Aki, he would absolutely not have been able to make this decision.

Even with power, Aki Tomoya could at most use it to refer to some of his own feelings while playing games.

And they can use their superpowers to better manipulate girls and make them work for free.

Now, without hesitation, Aki Tomoya urged the ghost soldiers to attack Ryouma.

For the Ghost Soldiers, the one thing they have no shortage of is numbers.

Even if they die, more will rise to replace them.

However, none of these ghostly soldiers could affect Luo Zhen.

Once someone gets within a certain range of Luo Zhen, they will be instantly killed by some unknown force.

Those like the ones under Aki Tomoya's feet exploded the moment they appeared.

It wouldn't be accurate to say it exploded, because its remains vanished without leaving any trace.

The darkness beneath Luo Zhen's feet remained completely unresponsive, no matter how much Aki Tomoya tried to activate it.

It was as if that shadow was not within his control.

No matter how much Aki Tomoya struggled or how crazy he was.

The large hand, shrouded in purple mist, finally pressed down on his face.

In that instant, many images flashed through Aki Tomoya's mind.

Those HR people who are always high and mighty, the waiters who speak with an inexplicable arrogance like city folks, and the idiots who know nothing about games but are in charge of the game part.

Why is that?

This society.

Why do these inexplicably stupid things always happen?

so tired.

very tired.

I want to go back to Chiba.

Ah, if I have the chance, I'll kill all those idiots before I leave.

Anyway, keeping it will only cause trouble.

'Tear—'

I could hear a tearing sound.

Ah, it seems like the mask on my face has been torn off.

The moment the masks were removed, those crazed, fearless ghost soldiers turned into a pool of black water and disappeared into the ground.

Aki Tomoya collapsed to the ground, as if all his strength had been drained away.

"Woo..."

"What am I doing...?"

When Aki Tomoya regained consciousness, he was already back in his cramped rented apartment.

The smell of instant noodles and a unique odor of the cramped rented room filled the entire space.

The overflowing trash can is just like Aki Tomoya's state of mind at this moment.

It's full of negative emotions.

He felt like he had forgotten something.

But it seems I can't remember.

All I remember is that I have to go back to Chiba and leave this neon-lit hell.

In a daze, Aki Tomoya barely remembered how he packed his luggage and sent it back, how he turned down the rental, how he took a shower, tidied himself up, and boarded the train.

On the train, Aki Tomoya stared blankly at his toes.

Are we just going back like this?

I'm so unhappy.

Aki Tomoya habitually thought of it.

But this time, he didn't seem to feel much resentment, pain, or despair.

The words, which should have been spoken with resentment, sounded unusually calm.

The laptop, tucked into his backpack, sat there quietly, and Aki Tomo didn't move it or touch it at all throughout the entire process.

After getting off the tram, Aki Tomoya walked along the familiar route he remembered, heading towards his home, which he hadn't been back to for almost two months.

The closer I get to home, the more timid I become?

I don't seem to have that feeling.

Or rather, Aki Tomo's mind hadn't yet accepted the fact that he had escaped from Tokyo back to Chiba.

Aki Tomoya had actually considered selling the house to raise funds before.

It's just that we couldn't agree on a price in the end, so we let it go.

Along the way, Aki Tomoya ran into many familiar friends, and they greeted each other somewhat awkwardly.

It seems that there is no difference from when I was in school.

But there seem to be many differences.

This time, Aki Tomoya didn't make a big fuss about games or plans.

He simply responded to everyone with extreme politeness, perhaps even a little too much politeness.

My mind was blank, and my head was empty.

And so, feeling utterly lost, I returned to my familiar home.
