Chapter 192: The Knight Hates Romance Events (4)
It's not even funny.
Or rather, it's so absurd that it does elicit some laughter.
But if someone thinks I'm laughing because I'm enjoying this, they must be incredibly clueless or have a death wish.
"Suddenly someone was banging on the door, so I thought it was the maid or the Instructor. Honestly, people don't usually pass by here, right? So I thought it was someone I knew and opened the door, but then there was this strange man.

Ihan wanted to smack his forehead. This kid really is in a tricky spot.
