Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

The already hoarse voice now sounded like two rough pieces of sandpaper rubbing together.

"I don't care what you are, get off me right now!"

"I have a bruise on my forehead," Moriya Teiji said angrily.

Beneath that angry voice lay a hint of fear and panic.

Her once neat clothes were now slightly disheveled, and she looked a little embarrassed.

The reason is this thing on his chest.

Although it is popular in anime and novels nowadays for protagonists who were originally unsuccessful to suddenly gain power, their intelligence, strategy, and willpower all increase, and they can even compete with strategists in terms of planning and tactics.

But this is clearly neither scientific nor magical.

In fact, most people's first reaction when faced with this situation is panic.

Ultimately, this kind of thing doesn't bring about any immediate, fundamental change in a person.

Those who are weak will remain weak, and those who are incapable will remain incapable.

At this moment, Moriya Teiji felt no joy whatsoever.

This may be related to the fact that he has never bothered with these so-called light novels and anime.

They have absolutely no understanding of the current situation.

After all, people who study classical literature don't seem to like these things very much.

At that moment, the first thing that popped into Moriya Teiji's mind was a bewitching demon.

In some respects, that's certainly true.

"Seriously, you've got a little bit of a listening ear, you bastard."

Bart's eyes twitched; his anger was nearing its limit.

After all, he was the Ghost Shadow General.

It's already annoying that it's still attached to humans after being sealed away.

That bastard actually did this to me.

The surrounding shadows seemed to echo the raging anger within Bart.

One by one, the ghostly soldiers of the Night Bat Legion emerged from the darkness.

Its skin had a deathly bluish tinge, and its bat-like wings clung tightly to its black back.

On his face, a V-shaped crimson light flashed with chilling malice.

A gaze, almost tangible, came from all directions, fixed intently on Moriya Teiji.

The arm that had been tearing at the mask on her chest suddenly stiffened.

In Moriya Teiji's life, this was the first time he had ever experienced what it meant to have a gaze that felt so real.

This feeling is hard to explain.

But Teiji Moriya was certain that someone was watching him.

This is........

Cold sweat trickled down my forehead.

Stiffly turning his head, Moriya Teiji stared incredulously at the ghostly soldiers of the Night Bat Legion emerging from the darkness.

What is this?

This is clearly not human, is it?

Surely not?

What exactly are these things?

A host of questions, big and small, surfaced in Moriya Teiji's mind.

"Now it can be a little quieter, right?"

A hoarse voice came from his chest.

Moriya Teiji lowered his head and looked at the face that was completely unlike a human's.

Let me explain briefly.

“I am General Bart of the Ghost Legion, and these guys are my summoned minions.”

"You don't need to know what the Ghost Legion is or what these guys are all about for now."

"All you need to know right now is..."

"If you cooperate with me, I can give you a little bit of strength."

"It can also help you fulfill some small wishes."

"how?"

Even when possessing a human body, Bart's voice was still full of arrogance and disdain.

It's as if I'm the one in control.

In fact, it seems that's not wrong.

After all, it wouldn't be a problem for Bart to possess someone else if he wanted to.

Just use the Ghost Soldier to find a guy who craves power and complains about everything.

In Barth’s view, there is no difference between possessing a human being and possessing other animals.

They're all disgusting.

"What power can you give me?"

With a stiff voice and a stiff expression, Moriya Teiji asked.

But compared to his previous panicked state, he was clearly much calmer.

He did regain some of his usual demeanor.

Hearing Moriya Teiji's voice, which had calmed down a bit, Batou smiled with satisfaction.

He believed that no human being could resist this powerful force.

Even the smallest scrap of trash that one gives away is enough for humans to fight over.

Tara, who was in the Ghost Kingdom, was also satisfied.

To be honest, when he first saw Moriya Teiji's panicked and irrational appearance, he wondered if he had found the wrong person.

This guy looks kind of useless.

It seems more appropriate to describe it as something for junior and senior high school students who are bullied by classmates, have parents with strained relationships, or experience domestic violence.

Those people will probably take revenge on society without hesitation as soon as they gain power.

To the unhappy, the happy are an eyesore even if they are just sitting there doing nothing.

Fortunately, Moriya Teiji calmed down and began to talk to Batou.

And they quickly reached an agreement to some extent.

This gave Tara a slight sense of relief.

If this guy continues to be uncooperative, it will be somewhat troublesome.

Through the Ghost Legion's perspective, Tara saw Teiji Moriya exchanging ideas and thoughts with Batou about what he wanted to do.

It's nothing more than taking revenge on someone and destroying a work you don't like.

There doesn't seem to be anything else I want to do.

Oh, there's one more.

Get rid of the current mayor.

"Unfortunately, Shadow Eater's mask is gone."

"Otherwise, he would be quite suitable for this guy."

Her cloudy pupils darted back and forth in their sockets as Tara murmured to herself thoughtfully.

For Teiji Moriya, the compatibility with the Night Bat Legion was only average.

It can help you do some things more conveniently.

But if possible, he might be a better fit for the Shadow Legion.

Tara had already come up with all the scripts for Moriya Teiji.

He took revenge on the detective by devouring his own shadow, causing everyone around him to fall into a coma.

At the same time, the enlarged Shadow Soldiers can easily destroy those buildings.

Unfortunately, the Shadow Mask has already been taken by that human.

This guy is just making do for now.

But it doesn't matter; he was just cannon fodder destined for a bad end anyway.

As for the next mask, let's find one like the bullied student we mentioned before.

I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Thinking this, Tara let out a loud, booming laugh.

If it were to happen at night, it would be somewhat creepy.

Chapter 1069 Is Kindness a Good Thing?

Tokyo's nights are dazzling, with neon lights flashing in a mesmerizing glow.

During the day, the city is like a giant factory that never stops.

Pedestrians hurried by on the street, seemingly oblivious to the fact that no one had a spare moment to look.

But at night...

The city seemed to change after nightfall.

The factory, which was once operating at full speed, has been transformed into a den of iniquity and extravagance.

Izakaya, host club, karaoke, nightclub.

This city treats everyone equally, greedily siphoning off their wealth and hard-earned money.

Whether you are poor or rich, strong or weak.

Entertainment venues treat every potential customer equally, determined to squeeze every last bit of value out of them.

If you're willing, you can always find a place that suits you in this city.

In an izakaya by the roadside, Hiroshi Nohara was listlessly drinking a small bottle of sake.

He looked incredibly dejected.

For a middle-aged married man, going to work is a very painful experience.

But this short time after get off work allows him to relax a little.

Just like many people who, after getting off work, don't go upstairs but prefer to smoke a cigarette in their car.

Although during the day I have to deal with work and idiotic customers.

At least I don't have to get nagged by my wife when I'm drinking.

In fact, Hiroshi Nohara was not particularly enthusiastic about drinking; he was not simply a heavy drinker.

It's just that the pressure of life and work is too great, and drinking can help him relax a little.

Hiroshi Nohara resides in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture, and commutes daily to work at the Tokyo headquarters of Futaba Shoji in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo.

He had originally planned to go home early after get off work today.

But we couldn't stand the fact that our idiot boss threw a tantrum at the company today, which made everyone very unhappy.

The reason given was that the company had acquired the development rights to a piece of land and invited designer Teiji Moriya to work on it.

As a result, the other party suddenly changed their mind today and unilaterally canceled the agreement, which had not yet been formally signed.
