I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

Because the two were so close, Fumino's nose was filled with Kyosuke's strong smell of an adolescent boy. Fumino felt as if she was a little intoxicated. She tried to keep herself awake and said to Kyosuke: "Kyosuke, don't be like this..."

However, Kyosuke ignored what Fumino was saying and just kept hugging Fumino and trembling.

We can no longer communicate. Really, if you are afraid of watching this kind of movie, just say it directly. It feels like the time when Yukino was a child and got scared of thunder and hid in my arms. How long has it been since I had a good communication with my children?

Thinking of Yukino, Fumino's heart calmed down. She gently stroked Kyousuke's head with her hand, closed her eyes, and said in a loving voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't be afraid, Kyousuke, mom is here..."

——————————————————————————————————————

Altria and Merlin were sitting in corner seats several rows away from Kyosuke and the other person. They didn't care at all about the content of the movie and were just observing the two people carefully.

Merlin watched Kyosuke's exaggerated reaction with great interest, and took out his PAD to take notes. On the side, Altria looked at Fumino with envy and jealousy.

"Tsk, a sow is a sow. How can it be so inappropriate to cuddle in public? Ugh~ If I had known that little Kyosuke would have this kind of reaction, I would have dragged him over to watch the movie earlier."

"Well, Lily, you don't have to be so angry. There will be another chance next time. But it turns out that Kyousuke-chan has this weakness. This is quite valuable information. I will have more material to choose from when designing date scripts for Kyousuke-chan in the future. Hehehe☆~ Um, what...ah...Aggenobumi."

Merlin suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Aggguiwen standing there, looking at him with a "kind" smile.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Merlin."

Seeing Aguiwen's expression, Merlin suddenly felt that his current situation was like a horror movie.

"Good afternoon, Aguwen. What a coincidence, do you also like watching horror movies?"

"No, no, no, Your Highness Merlin, I'm not here to watch a movie. I'm just here to see you."

As he said this, Aguiwen grabbed Altria's head with both hands and forced her to look away from Kyosuke and towards himself.

"Merlin what are you doing...Aggguiwenkiss?!"

"Good afternoon, my king."

Altria was originally a little dissatisfied because her eyes were diverted, but when she saw that it was Aggguiwen, she immediately stopped talking.

Agguiwen stared at Altria and said in a deep voice: "My king, I just hope you can explain what happened in the fast food restaurant on the commercial street a few hours ago. I was quite surprised when His Highness Bedivere called to inform me."

Altria's eyes kept rolling around, and she explained hesitantly, "Um... didn't Bedivere say that it was a gas pipeline explosion? Yes, it was a problem with the gas pipeline."

Agguiwen's face moved closer to Altria.

"My king, I would like to ask which fast food restaurant would install gas pipelines on the second floor where customers dine? And there is no smell of gas after the pipeline explodes?"

"That...that..."

"It seems that I have been a little lax in my discipline of you recently. It seems that you need to be taught a lesson. Also, Your Highness Merlin, you have been playing a little too much recently. You also need a little education."

Agguiwen simply grabbed one of the shoulders with one hand and dragged the two people out of the theater.

"Ah, wait a minute, Agugui-kun, little Kyousuke is in danger now. The sow may eat him at any time..."

"Why should I come too? My Kyousuke-chan's growth record..."

Aguiwen ignored the two men's wailing and dragged the two shameful guys out of the cinema.

——————————————————————————————————————

After the more than 100-minute movie ended, Kyosuke stood on the street outside the cinema, his legs still shaking.

Fumino stood by and looked at Kyosuke, covering her mouth and laughing.

"Really? Kyousuke is so timid~. I feel it's okay, not as scary as I imagined."

"I'm sorry, everything else is fine, but this one of mine isn't working."

"It's okay. Seeing Kyousuke, who is usually so confident, show such an interesting expression, I'm lucky."

Hey, sister, I feel like I’ve brought shame upon myself to my grandma’s house!

After he finally recovered, Kyosuke looked at the time and found that it was almost 4:.

"It's getting late. I have to go to the store. Are you coming today?"

On Friday nights before, when Kyosuke was at work, Fumino had been staying in the store. Except for the first 30 minutes when Kyosuke accompanied her for a drink, Fumino stayed quietly in the corner of the store, watching Kyosuke entertain other customers.

At first, Kyousuke was a little embarrassed and wasn't very relaxed when entertaining other guests, but as time went on, he no longer cared about Fumino's gaze.

One of the customers seemed to have encountered something extremely unpleasant and was lying on the bar crying. Kyosuke tried to persuade her, but was strangled by the customer. If Tristan had not happened to pass by and rescued him, Kyosuke would have lost half his life (Tristan kissed him on the face several times as a price). Fumino secretly laughed for a long time because of this.

When she accompanied Kyosuke to leave, facing the hundreds of thousands of PR fees and Altria's provocative eyes, Fumino paid the bill without saying a word. After paying, she said to Altria in a sarcastic tone: "I hope that all the money I paid doesn't go into someone else's pocket without Kyosuke getting a penny." Then, ignoring Altria's fury, she deliberately patted Kyosuke on the shoulder and said: "If this madam deducts your commission, just quit your job and go live with me. I will support you."

Kyosuke felt a little sick when he recalled that scene. Couldn't these two just get along? They were always on edge whenever they met.

Fumino took out her phone and sent a message to the driver to tell him where she was, then said to Kyosuke, "I'll be there, but I need to change into a new outfit first. This outfit doesn't really match the style of Kyosuke's store. I estimate I'll be there around 7:."

"Then I'll leave first. See you in the evening."

"Well, see you tonight."

······

Kyosuke arrived at the Camelot store and found that Manager Altria and Merlin were kneeling in the middle of the bar hall with their heads down, with a washboard under their knees.

Agguiwen was standing in front of the two people, chattering non-stop. Kyosuke couldn't understand what he was saying because he was speaking a lot of Roman and Celtic languages ​​in addition to Japanese. But from the fact that Agguiwen, who usually only spoke Japanese, kept speaking his hometown dialect, it could be seen that he was really angry.

Under pressure from Aguguiwen, Kyosuke was too embarrassed to disturb them. He saw Bedivere standing by and looking at them worriedly, so he asked, "Bedivere, what happened to them?"

Bedivere looked at Kyosuke and patted his shoulders with his hands and said earnestly: "Kyosuke, it's better if you don't know."

What don't I want to know?

"Kyosuke, hurry up and change your clothes. There aren't many people here tonight, so you might be very busy."

Before Kyosuke could ask something, Bedivere pushed him into the locker room. While changing his clothes, Kyosuke asked why there were so few people today. Bedivere said that Gawain had taken a lot of people out to work.

"After all, the place is in such a bad state that if there are too few people, we won't be able to handle it."

What on earth were you busy with while I was away?

Finally, around six forty, Aguiwen let Manager Altria and Merlin go, not because he had already taught them a lesson, but because customers had already arrived, and keeping these two embarrassing things here would affect the store's appearance.

After work started, Kyosuke was waiting for Fumino to come to the bar, staring at the wine cabinet in the bar in boredom. At this time, the waiter at the front desk came over and told him that a customer had asked for him.

Kyosuke felt a little strange. Generally speaking, customers who needed to be received by him usually showed up after 8 o'clock. Why was there a customer so early today? Did Fumino come early?

Kyosuke looked in the direction of the waiter's finger and saw a woman with long black hair wearing an OL outfit sitting in the corner of the bar.

Kyosuke thought that Fumino had come over early to give him a surprise, so he quickly walked up to her and started talking to her.

"Fumino, why are you here now? Didn't you say..."

Kyosuke stopped talking halfway because the person sitting on the sofa was not Fumino, but Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Shiyu was sitting on the sofa with her arms folded across her chest, staring at him with dissatisfaction. After hearing what Kyosuke said, she asked Kyosuke in a mocking tone: "Fumino? Is this the name of your "mother"?"

PS1: In order to avoid confusion in the timeline, Mi-chan set the current plot to start at the end of January 2016. The movie Kyosuke and Fumino watched was "The Dirty, Uninhabitable Room", a horror movie released in Japan in early 1. Mi-chan has no idea about the specific plot, after all, Mi-chan herself has never seen it.

PS2: Kyosuke's fear of horror movies is actually referring to Mi-chan herself. I remember one time when I returned to school early in college, there was no one in the dormitory, so Mi-chan went to the cinema to watch "Prometheus" by herself. Then she was so scared that she ran out in the middle of the movie, and walked around the digital market next to the cinema for 20 minutes before returning to the theater (because she didn't want to waste the movie ticket in vain). _(:з」∠)_

PS3: I’m not sure how others should address the gigolo’s regular customers, so I chose “Mom”. Doesn’t seem to be wrong? (Funny)

Chapter 17 Merlin: Sister, do you want a photo?

When Kasumigaoka Utaha saw the photo for the first time, she couldn't believe that her junior, who was taciturn and good-for-nothing except for his good intentions, would actually wear a gorgeous and even shiny high-end suit and chat and laugh with a woman who looked to be in her twenties.

This photo was posted on Vita by her editor, Machida Sonoko, with a comment below saying "Newly discovered store, the waiters inside are super~handsome!". At that time, she happened to announce the release of her new book under her pen name on Vita. She didn't notice it at the time, but only found out that Kousaka Kyousuke appeared in the background of the photo after clicking on it and zooming in. She saved the photo immediately. Afterwards, she was very glad that she did so, because Ms. Machida deleted the post on Vita within a minute.

After repeatedly confirming that the person in the photo was the boy she was familiar with, Shiyu immediately called her editor. But she couldn't get through, which made her very anxious and she kept walking around in her room.

It was not until after 12 o'clock that Yuanzi called her back. From the other party's lisp, Shiyu could tell that the other party must have drunk a lot of alcohol.

"Hello? Shi-chan~ Sorry, the store was too noisy just now, I didn't hear the phone call."

"I saw your deleted video of Werther. Where were you just now?"

"Hey? Shi-chan also fell in love with that waiter? Let me tell you, the waiters in that store are so handsome~ The one I took a picture of is not the most handsome one. The most handsome one is exactly like the prince charming in my dreams. It's a pity that the photo could not be saved. As soon as I put it up, I was discovered by a white-haired guy. He said that you can't take pictures here casually and asked me to delete the photo immediately. Then he said that if I like the boys here, I can buy the photos sold in their store. They are so expensive. My wallet only allowed me to choose 3 photos, and there was a photo that someone really wanted, so I had to give up. Woo~~"

Shiyu was already a little annoyed by the nonsense of her drunk editor, so she decided to ask directly for the information she wanted.

"What's the name of that store?"

"I remember it was called [Comelet]? Hmm? Shi-chan, do you want to see handsome guys too? No, that's a host bar, Shi-chan can't go there since she's not yet an adult. If you want to see handsome guys, I can give you a photo next time we meet~ Hey, what's up? Shi-chan is dead......"

Male host? Bar? Why would that guy go to that kind of place? Shiyu became even more uneasy after hanging up the phone. She lay on the bed and looked at the photos on her phone, her eyes looking a little dull.

After staring at the photo for a long time, Shiyu noticed that the suit the man was wearing was the same style as the red-haired man in the photo, but the color was different. Could it be that he was also working as a host? Although she knew that he started working part-time after high school, he told her that he was working as a cashier. She had always thought that he was working in a convenience store or a small shop.

Shiyu knew that his pocket money was really pitiful, and if he wanted to have the same expenses as ordinary high school students, he could only earn money by working part-time. So after entering high school, he found a part-time job outside and spent most of his spare time on it.

Shiyu felt distressed when she saw the confident look in his eyes when she first met him gradually faded due to fatigue from long hours of work. Shiyu originally thought that after her new book was released, she could give him a share of the royalties in the name of co-authorship so that he could have more money and quit that hard job.

In order to achieve this goal, there is only one way, that is to make her novel more outstanding and sell more copies. For this reason, Shiyu spent half a year revising part of the novel outline and made detailed and tedious revisions to the first volume of the novel.

The final product made Ms. Machida say that it could be published as an orthodox youth romance novel instead of a light novel. She was very happy to receive this recognition, and at that moment she felt that all her efforts were worth it.

However, when she wanted to share this joy with him, he didn't care about it. This made Shiyu feel very abnormal. When they first created the first draft together, he invested a lot of experience and even often quarreled with her for some plot settings.

Now he actually ignored the novel he had invested so much energy in? This was very abnormal.

Shiyu felt that the photo on the phone might be the key to the matter, so after thinking about it for half an hour in bed, she suddenly got up and turned on the computer to search for the bar called "Come On" that Miss Machida mentioned, but found nothing.

This made Shiyu feel very strange. She knew that Miss Machida had no reason to lie to her, so what was the reason?

In order to get the information she wanted, she asked Shizuka Hiratsuka, the other party's life counselor and Chinese teacher, who also provided her with great help in writing when she was in the first year of high school.

On Monday, after Shizuka saw her coming out of Shizuka Hiratsuka's office, she followed the school's famous first-year beauty Yukinoshita to the school courtyard. Although Shizuka wanted to follow them, she had more important things to do.

"Camelot?"

"Yeah, probably some dessert shop. What's wrong? Why do you want to know this?"

"Nothing, I just care a little bit. I plan to visit where he works and give him a surprise."

"Tsk, are you planning on showing off your affection in front of the teacher??!!"

Shiyu saw Xiaojing was a little angry and immediately ran out of the office. Although Xiaojing was usually easy to talk to, it was better not to provoke her on issues such as marriage and love.

But what is Comelet? It's obviously Camelot. Miss Machida, are you drunk and blurry-eyed or are you tongue-tied and can't even speak clearly? This is too far off. No matter what, let's go and see what he and Yukinoshita say. Based on his performance in the other's high school, he would never take the initiative to provoke such a beauty of the school level. There must be other reasons.

When Shiyu arrived at the courtyard, the conversation between the two of them was almost over. The topic she secretly discussed with them was related to part-time jobs. Could it be that Yukinoshita also knew about it? But how did she know?

In order to find out the truth, Shiyu took the opportunity to ask him when he was buying a drink, but was interrupted by the damn golden-haired loser who suddenly appeared. Tsk, what are you grinning at me, damn stray dog? Don't you even know that your master is selling her body outside?

However, Shiyu still got some useful information. After learning that the other party would go to work on Saturday, Shiyu decided to go to the store where the other party worked to ask for clarification. But as Ms. Machida said, as a minor, it is impossible for her to enter the bar at will.
