I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

The door of the interrogation room opened and the man outside walked in. He placed a small glass bottle containing a liquid that emitted a suspicious crimson glow on the interrogation table.

"Do you know what this is?"

"..."

The man still kept his head down, showing his fearless spirit of sacrifice. He seemed ready to fight to the end.

"This is Merlin's special [Compulsory Order Drug]."

"Is that guy's name so straightforward?"

The man being interrogated sneered, and he finally spoke.

"I hope you can still say that later." The new man smiled maliciously, and he seemed to admire the other's courage.

Although the man was tied to the chair, he still behaved calmly. He looked at the new man with a provocative look and said, "You took so much trouble to lure me here, didn't you just want to know what that woman is preparing? I tell you that this is impossible. Even if you use this strange potion to force me to tell the truth, it will be useless. She has cursed me. Unless I tell it willingly, any means of coercion will be useless. I don't think you don't know this, Mr. Holmes."

"Of course. But I don't want you to tell me her direct purpose with this medicine. I want you to keep repeating one sentence - [I am a despicable and dirty little dog]." Holmes opened the glass bottle and looked at the man with malicious eyes. "I don't know how long you can hold on, but I believe you will tell me what you know willingly."

"You...devil. Are you really the legendary pioneer of justice? Are you Moriarty in disguise?"

"I'm sorry, my dear subordinate. I am the real Sherlock Holmes. You have to know that sometimes sacrifices must be made for justice. So are you going to tell me or not?"

"I..."

"It seems that you are prepared to fight to the end, Cuchulainn."

Holmes pried open Cu Chulainn's mouth with one hand, and with the other hand held the potion and prepared to slowly pour it into Cu Chulainn's mouth.

"Ah...ah ah..."

Cu Chulainn struggled desperately to break free from Holmes's hand, but was completely powerless. Holmes put the medicine against Cu Chulainn's mouth, so that the glass bottle was in a critical state of being poured into his mouth.

"I'll ask you one last question, will you tell me or not?"

"I say, I say." Cu Chulainn, sweating profusely, could only nod and agree to the deal with this devil with a slicked-back hair.

"Very good." Holmes took back the glass bottle with satisfaction. However, his action was too fast and a small amount of potion still flowed into Cu Chulainn's mouth.

"..."

"..."

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

"Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!! You... I am a despicable and dirty little dog, I am a..."

Looking at Cu Chulainn who was already mumbling to himself, Holmes shook his head sadly and said cheerfully to Fergus who was also in the interrogation room: "Xiao Gang, quickly record this rare scene. If this dog wants to regret it later, force him to watch this video."

PS: I would like to recommend the book "Eastern Redemption: The Endless Tomorrow" written by Dashu. The writing style is serious and can be regarded as a breath of fresh air among the dirty readers.

The uncle has already guaranteed that the work will be completed in a million words, so please feel free to enjoy it.

Introduction: Nothing left...

But still can't get rid of...

All that's left is hatred and anger...

Then... let me embrace this spiral of contradictions until destruction...

Chapter 36: A Runaway Date (13)

Originally Kyosuke thought that with such bad luck today, something even worse would happen at the subsequent autograph session, but it turned out to be smoother than he had imagined, at least nothing unexpected happened, such as meeting someone he didn't want to see (a heroic spirit) or Miura and Shiwa fighting for three hundred rounds in public.

It seemed that in order to find something worth complaining about or a plot bug in Shiyu's novel, Miura read the book very attentively and read every page of the novel carefully. So in the queue afterwards, Miura behaved very quietly, neither mumbling in Kyousuke's ear nor throwing a tantrum.

I didn’t expect that my senior’s novel could calm my nerves and brain. I wonder if it can even cure anxiety disorder.

Kyosuke was very pleased with Miura's well-behaved behavior. He felt a sense of accomplishment as if the ignorant little puppy at home had finally started to behave well, even though it actually had nothing to do with him.

If Miura read books because he was playing Find the Differences at first, and was attracted by the stories in the novels later, then Kyosuke didn't quite understand why Isshiki would also like Shiyu's novels. Generally speaking, shouldn't otakus and otakus like this kind of love light novels? Why would Isshiki, a popular person, like this?

Usually, the current generation will not calm down and read the light novels of Shiyu, which are of the nature of youth literature. It is not that Shiyu's works are fake and only ignorant otaku will believe them. In fact, most people think that Shiyu's novels have a strong sense of reality, except for the characters that make people not know where to start complaining. However, Kyosuke knows that the characters are the most real part of Shiyu's novels. It's just that Shiyu's novels are the kind of works that need to be calmed down and read slowly. It is estimated that it is difficult for those current generation to have a lot of time to sit in a chair and read novels slowly. For example, Miura next to him is a good example. If it weren't for what happened today, Kyosuke believes that the other party would never read Shiyu's novels in his life.

In fact, Kyosuke always thought that with Shiyu's writing ability, it would be better for her to go the traditional novel route, but Shiyu insisted on choosing the light novel platform, which is a bit fast-food, to sell her novels. Kyosuke couldn't understand this insistence, and he didn't know what the other party's obsession with the light novel platform was.

But the final result is that although Shiyu has good popularity, she is not destined to reach the level of the top light novel writers. However, Shiyu's readers will be relatively loyal. In other words, Shiyu may not be able to create works that most people like, but the proportion of her die-hard fans will be very high.

So was there any opportunity that led Isshiki to read Shiyu's works, or did she simply happen to like this type of novel?

When it was Isshiki's turn, Kyosuke saw her and she held Shiyu's hand and screamed loudly, showing her excitement. Although he was a little far away and couldn't hear what she said, Kyosuke could still see that she was like a otaku who was attending a handshake meeting with his favorite idol. It was a kind of fanatical love. I'm afraid Isshiki's feelings for Shiyu are no longer just admiration.

"Hmm...I feel like I smell the scent of lilies and green."

Kyosuke glanced at someone beside him. If all of Hayama's harem were fans of Shiyu's books, did that mean Hayama... Of course, Kyosuke was just thinking about this dirty thought. It was definitely not something that could be solved by a beating. He would probably be beaten by Miura first, and then pressed to the ground by the senior, and Isshiki might secretly kick him during that time.

"But at least this tracking was not completely fruitless."

Kyosuke rubbed his chin and thought about whether he should ask Shiyu to help convince Isshiki to stay in the student union. You know, the power of idols is infinite. Maybe Shiyu can convince Isshiki with a little persuasion. Although he didn't have a very good impression of Xun, they have been together for a while. At least the student union privileges that Xun gave him during this period of time are still helpful. Leaving her a useful team is also worthy of her care for him during this period. Although he failed to convince the school to change the school uniform from long-sleeved shirts to summer short-sleeved shirts in the end.

Finally, when Isshiki and Hayama left Shiyu and walked back, Kyosuke turned his head away before they looked at him. He didn't know if they saw him and Miura. He could only comfort himself that he and Miura were wearing hats and they wouldn't be recognized even if they saw them.

In fact, before Kyosuke knew that they were attending Shiyu's autograph session, he had planned to wait for Hayama and the others to finish the event and then leave with them. After all, for the mastermind Miura, no event would be more important than his own riches.

Unfortunately, I don’t have to think about it now. If I hadn’t met the senior sister before, it would be fine. Since she already knew I was coming, and in the end she didn’t see me...

Kyosuke shuddered at the thought of the "beautiful" scene that might happen.

“Miura…”

Thinking of this, Kyosuke planned to let Miura leave the team and follow first, while he would meet with Shiyu and then reunite with her, so that he could ensure that he would lose sight of Hayama.

"..."

So Kyosuke pushed Miura, but the other party did not respond. Miura's face was even full of smiles, which must be because the plot of the book is progressing to something interesting.

"Ms. Miura Yumiko?"

Kyousuke poked it again with his finger.

"..."

Still no reaction, Miura was still immersed in the story that Shiyu made up for her, but Miura still frowned slightly, and it seemed that she was not completely unresponsive to Kyosuke's behavior.

"three……"

Because Hayama and Isshiki hadn't gone far, Kyosuke didn't dare to speak too loudly, so he leaned close to Miura's ear and prepared to whisper a reminder to her. This time Miura finally responded, but this response didn't seem to be what Kyosuke expected.

"Are you annoying? I want to read a book."

Kyosuke was rudely interrupted by Miura just as he started, and Miura even slapped Kyosuke impatiently because Kyosuke disturbed her reading. Fortunately, the other party only did it subconsciously, otherwise Shiyu would not know what she would think when she saw her red face.

Seeing how much Miura liked Shiyu's work, Kyosuke decided not to disturb her reading.

Very good, congratulations on having a new book friend.

Chapter 37: A Runaway Date (14)

Kyosuke was actually fine with Miura's behavior of taking his kindness for granted. It would be even better if Hayama and Isshiki were lost because of this. At least he wouldn't have to follow that golden retriever anymore and could just go home and sleep.

Anyway, you, the empress, are not in a hurry, but I am too... bah, bah, I mean there is no need for a follower to be anxious, right?

So during the next ten minutes or so of waiting in line, Kyosuke behaved like a quiet handsome man until it was finally Kyosuke and the other two's turn to get their autographs.

"Humph~"

The first person to come forward was Miura, and she threw a complete set of "Looking Up" (which she had just instructed Kyosuke to get from the bookshelf) on the signing table.

"Well written."

Although the tone was stiff, it was really remarkable coming from the mouth of Miura, a tsundere girl. At least it was the first time Kyosuke heard her praise someone other than Hayama.

“Thank you for liking my book.”

Shiyu was stunned by Miura's attitude. She thought that the other party would confront her right away. Shiyu thought that the other party would at least express some dissatisfaction with her, if not in an opposing state. But she didn't expect that the other party was actually quite reasonable. Since this junior sister has given in, then as a senior sister, she should not be rude.

"I don't like you as a person, but your book is really well written. So..."

Miura wanted to say something to praise the other person, but he couldn't find the right words. At this time, Miura regretted that he had so many insulting words, but he didn't know how to praise others at the critical moment, which made Miura feel a little hurt.

"It's okay, no need to say more, I understand."

Compared to Miura who was already stuttering, Shiyu took the initiative to show a friendly smile to ease the awkward atmosphere. After all, Shiyu had not been in vain to attend so many events with editor Machida-san during this period. Now she can easily face these fans who are not good at speaking.

But is Miura really a fan of Shiyu?

Kyosuke is reserved about this. What he cares more about is how Shiyu has suddenly become so reasonable?

If it is true that Shiyu is facing a real book friend, she will indeed show her friendly side. But if it is an acquaintance (such as herself or Eriri), then this queen will not be so polite. And if the other party is a love rival (such as Eriri), Shiyu will definitely scold you to the point of being unable to take care of yourself before talking to you properly.

In the aspect of quarreling, Kyosuke's memory shows that his senior sister has never been afraid of anyone. This female hero who is known for her ability to fight against the sky, the earth, and the air, no matter whether it is the Queen of Britain, the head of the Yukinoshita family, or the nine-tailed demon fox who has practiced for thousands of years, she has always been brave enough to face powerful opponents, and she has the courage to slap these little bitches even if she loses.

How come she is so friendly now when facing a second-year high school girl? Could it be that after running around for more than a month and seeing the world of adults, she has changed her temperament and started to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures?

"I've signed it. I hope you can support my works more in the future."

Shiyu didn't look at Kyosuke's confused eyes. She signed her name on every copy of Miura's novels, which was a treatment that no other book fans had ever received before. After doing all this, Shiyu put them aside, and Miura immediately picked up the books one by one and read Shiyu's signature on his new books like a child who had just got his favorite toy.

Shiyu was very satisfied with Miura's expression. For her, readers liking her books was the greatest affirmation of her work.

"Thank you, Senior."

Kyosuke noticed that Shiwa treated Miura specially.

"You're welcome. Consider it my apology. I just misunderstood her."

"Ok?"

"Someone explained the matter between you and her to me backstage just now."

I wondered how this female demon could change her nature. It turns out that she already knew the whole story. Although he didn't know which deity had rescued him, he didn't ask because he didn't want to ask.

"As for the guy who lied about military intelligence, I've already dealt with him. You don't have to worry about him."

Although Shiyu said it lightly, Kyosuke, who had experienced the other party's two-finger Zen, felt that someone was obviously in big trouble.

If Zaimokuza, who had gained three times more weight (swollen) after being beaten by Shiwa, knew what Kyosuke was thinking at this moment, he would have hugged Kyosuke's thighs and shouted something like "Kyosuke, you are right".
