I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

Eriri patted her chest and said confidently, "Of course, leave everything to Eriri."

Sayuri reminded her at the right time: "Before that, Eriri, you must pass the make-up exam, otherwise I will take over the task of guiding Mashu-chan."

"Oh~ got it." After being splashed with a bucket of cold water, Ying Lili quickly put away her complacent look.

Mashu encouraged, "Sawamura-san will be fine. I believe Sawamura-san will be able to pass the exam. Let's work hard together."

Eriri was encouraged by Mashu's words and shed tears of emotion: "Gielite-san, no, Mashu, thank you."

As if he had discovered that his Mashu-chan was about to be kidnapped by Eriri, Mordred said unwillingly, "Ah, so cunning. Sawamura, I want to come over to study during the spring break as well."

It seems like they are trying to win over loyal dogs in various ways, Kyosuke couldn't help but think as he watched the interactions of the three girls around him.

After dinner, Eriri and Mordred both started to study hard because they were rewarded for their efforts. This made Kyosuke and Mashu feel relieved. However, Kyosuke felt sorry that he still couldn't resolve Mashu's misunderstanding of him. It would be better to say that Mashu now completely regarded Kyosuke as a pervert and planned to ignore Kyosuke no longer.

Kyosuke felt so sad about this. Why can Eriri, who also draws the same book, be admired, while he is hated by Mashu? Sure enough, this world is a society that values ​​appearance. Kyosuke said that in this world of logistics, except for Fumino's gentle embrace, where else can heal my wounded heart?

At 9:, the cram school session at Eriri's house finally ended. Mashu and Mordred said goodbye to Sayuri and said they would come again tomorrow before leaving.

Kyosuke was about to leave after the two of them left. When he was sitting at the entrance putting on his shoes, Sayuri stood by and thanked Kyosuke: "Thank you, Kyosuke. Eriri has almost no friends except you. I'm really happy that Mashu-chan and Mo-chan can become friends with that child."

"No, I still want to thank you. Mashu and Mordred are both from single-father families here. I think they seem to be able to get the motherly love they are missing from you."

"No, I don't think I did anything. But those two children don't have a mother? How pitiful."

Yes, and one of their fathers does nothing but drink and do sad things all day long by riding a motorcycle around the city, while the other one’s father is a professional extramarital affair.

If you can help take care of them, it would be a great help. Of course, it would be even better if you can help put in a good word for me and clear up Mashu-chan's misunderstanding of me. This was Kyousuke's thought when he left Eriri's house.

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

After two days of serious review, Eriri and Mordred's make-up exam finally began. Because the teacher had specifically highlighted the key points before the exam, and the two of them studied specifically with the help of Kyousuke and Mashu, they both passed the make-up exam (Mordred's score was one point higher than the passing score).

Of course, the rest of the people who took the make-up exam were not so lucky. Nearly half of them still failed the make-up exam. What awaits them is endless remedial spring break and the final make-up exam at the end of the spring break. If they still fail this time, their grades will be recorded in the student records.

"So study hard during the holidays, Hikigaya-san." Kyosuke said, patting Hikigaya's shoulder.

"Ah, shut up, why are you helping Sawamura with his studies instead of me? I have to spend my entire vacation at school now!" Hikigaya, no, Hikigaya Hachiman was very dissatisfied with Kyosuke's idea of ​​favoring girls over boys. Especially when he saw the other party's smug look, he was furious. You know, this time Kyosuke's score in the liberal arts increased significantly because of Fumino's help, while Hachiman, on the other hand, got a "good" score of 9 in mathematics.

"No, it's disgusting to study with boys." Kyosuke waved his hand with disgust. "Besides, no one will invite you out to play during the holidays. Instead of spending the spring break alone, wouldn't it be better to study happily with everyone?"

Facing Kyosuke's malicious ridicule, Hachiman loudly retorted: "How can it be fun to take tutoring classes with a bunch of people you don't even know?!"

But unfortunately, Kyosuke, who was already thinking about how to make this holiday meaningful with Fumino, was no longer willing to listen to Hachiman's complaints.

After the graduation ceremony on February 2, the students of Sobu High School (except for a small number of people) finally ushered in the long-awaited spring break.

On the second day of the holiday, that is, the evening of the 13th, Kyosuke finally returned to his job after a two-week gap.

"So, why did you drink this kind of wine this time?" Kyosuke looked at the Blue Rose in Fumino's hand with some surprise. In Kyosuke's impression, Fumino didn't like this colorful and gaudy cocktail that was popular among little girls.

"After all, I'm a girl too. Kyousuke won't forget what day tomorrow is, right?"

When Kyosuke heard Fumino's question, he touched her hand and said, "How could I forget? Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. We will spend the whole day together."

Fumino was very satisfied after hearing Kyosuke's answer: "That's good, I'll leave first then."

Kyosuke checked the time and found that it was not even 8 o'clock yet. He was a little surprised: "Why is it so early today?"

"For such a special day tomorrow, I want to show my best side to Kyosuke. So I have to go back early to prepare. Just look forward to tomorrow." After saying that, Fumino left.

After sending Fumino to the car, Kyosuke turned around to go back to the store and saw Mash and Mordred coming out.

Mordred gave Kyosuke a bag of chocolates and said to him, "Here, Kyosuke. These are giri chocolates for Valentine's Day. You won't be coming to work tomorrow, and Matthew and I are going to Sayuri's house, so I'm giving them to you now."

Kyosuke was a little disappointed when he saw the original strawberry thunder chocolate bar bought from the store. Although he didn't expect this kid to make chocolate by himself, he should at least package it. This is really disappointing.

Then Mordred extended his hand to Kyosuke, which made Kyosuke feel a little strange.

"what?"

Mordred looked at Kyosuke with wide eyes: "What about the return gift? Sayuri said that girls always give boys a return gift after giving them chocolate."

Tsk, I was wondering why this girl was so kind to give me chocolate, turns out she wanted a gift in return.

Kyosuke slapped the man on the head with his hand: "The return gift for boys is on White Valentine's Day on March 3th. It's too early to ask for it now. I will prepare a gift for you then, don't worry."

Mordred pouted to express his dissatisfaction: "Kyosuke, you're so stingy." After saying that, he made a face at Kyosuke and ran back to the store.

What an arrogant girl! If you have the guts, don't ask me for pocket money. Kyosuke was a little angry at Mordred's attitude. At this time, he saw Mashu still standing there and didn't leave.

"Mashu, what's wrong?"

Mashu didn't say anything. She walked up to Kyosuke and stuffed a pink love box directly into his arms, then left without saying a word.

Kyosuke looked at the pink gift box and felt a little strange. Was this a Valentine's Day gift from Mash to him?

After get off work, Kyosuke opened the Valentine's Day gift that Mashu gave him in the employee lounge and found that it was a heart-shaped chocolate cake decorated with strawberries, blueberries and white chocolate, which looked extremely beautiful. From the unique white chocolate decoration, it can be seen that this was handmade by Mashu herself.

Kyousuke found a small card in the chocolate cake packaging that read, "Giri Chocolate, happy Valentine's Day, Senpai."

Looking at this carefully crafted chocolate, Kyosuke felt quite touched. It seemed that Mashu-chan had not completely disliked him yet?

PS1: I originally thought that I would just finish writing the tutorial, but later I decided to write the story on the eve of Valentine's Day, because I felt that it would be too boring if I wrote a separate chapter for this part, so I put it after this chapter, but I also compressed the story a little. I'll give Gundai chocolates on Valentine's Day the following year. _(:з」∠)_ White* Valentine's Day is actually a sensitive word...

Chapter 24: Kano: Eriri-chan, Kyousuke did something shameful behind your back

On February 2, Valentine's Day morning, Kyosuke was not woken up by the alarm clock he had set, but by the sound of someone opening the door and breaking in. As a creature at the bottom of the food chain of the Kosaka family,

Kyousuke's door cannot be locked. Or rather, after the Takasaka family underwent a renovation, Kyousuke's room was no longer eligible for a door lock.

Kyosuke originally thought it was a surprise morning inspection by Kousaka Daisuke or Kano, but after being woken up by the sound of the door opening, there was no sound.

When he opened his eyes and got up, there was no one in the room, only a small cloth bag on his desk.

After Kyosuke opened it, he found it was a small bag of chocolate beans. It seemed that Kirino had opened the package of chocolate beans she bought outside, poured them directly into the bag and threw it to him.

Compared to the handmade chocolates made by his sister in previous years, this year's works can be said to have created a historical low. Obviously, it seems that Kirino is still angry and has no intention of forgiving Kyosuke at all. It is estimated that the chocolates were given out of habit or as a return gift for the New Year's money he gave her.

Kyousuke repacked the bag and put it in his drawer, then left the room and went downstairs to wash up. Kyousuke thought that since he had been woken up, he should get ready early.

Based on past interactions, Fumino is likely to arrive at the agreed location ahead of schedule. In that case, I might as well arrive earlier to give her a surprise.

However, Kousaka Yoshino was surprised at Kyosuke's early rising: "It's rare that you can wake up early after the holiday. Help your mother with something later."

Kyousuke rejected Kanono's request without hesitation. "I have an appointment with someone to spend Valentine's Day with. I will not be back until I have dinner with her."

Kanono was surprised by Kyosuke's answer: "Kyosuke actually has someone to date on Valentine's Day. Wait, Kyosuke, what's going on? Come here, what did you do behind Eriri's back?"

However, by the time Kanao reacted, Kyosuke had already left, leaving Kanao alone at home sulking.

This time, Kyosuke and Fumino's date was in Tokyo's Ginza business district, a famous high-end commercial district in Japan. The reason for choosing this place was that Fumino wanted to buy Kyosuke a Valentine's Day gift here and also because she had reserved a seat for a candlelight dinner here.

Kyosuke arrived early on purpose and waited at the station for 20 minutes before finally meeting Fumino.

Today, Fumino is wearing a plaid long shirt and a black waist skirt. The black bow ribbon wrapped around her neck adds a touch of cuteness and sexiness.

"As expected, Fumino, you're the best." Looking at his girlfriend's dress, Kyosuke couldn't help but nod in praise.

Fumino just accepted Kyosuke's compliment with a smile and didn't say that Kyosuke was sweet-mouthed like she did before, because in her opinion it was natural for Kyosuke, as her boyfriend, to compliment her on her beauty.

As the first meal of their Valentine's Day date, the two went to the cinema to watch a movie. This time, they tacitly chose a romantic movie.

After a week of tutoring in the "Love House" (Fumino's self-proclaimed name), the two of them get along much better than before. Or maybe it's because Kyousuke finally gave up his bottom line after a week of teasing and can actively interact with Fumino, instead of passively accepting like before.

So when they were watching the movie, the two of them kept doing little things, and even when the movie showed the hero and heroine finally getting married, Kyosuke even mustered up the courage to lean over and kiss Fumino on the cheek. But before he sat back, Fumino grabbed his head and kissed him back, but of course Fumino didn't follow Kyosuke's lead, and instead kissed Kyosuke hard on the lips.

When they came out of the cinema, Fumino still put her arm around Kyosuke's shoulders and whispered in Kyosuke's ear: "Sister, I'm really happy. This is the first time Kyosuke took the initiative to kiss me. It's a pity that it was only on the cheek. Next time, if Kyosuke doesn't take the initiative to kiss sister's lips, sister will not forgive you."

I don't know if it's because of the little tricks in the cinema before that made Kyousuke bolder, or because of the atmosphere of Valentine's Day, but Kyousuke felt a little bit dizzy today. He turned around and looked at Fumino, not caring at all that their lips were only a few inches apart, and asked in a worried tone: "So what are you going to do, sister?"

Fumino's eyes were full of smiles. She put both her hands around Kyousuke's neck and teased him: "Sister, I'm going to make sure you can't sleep at night~"

Kyosuke felt that it would be a shame not to kiss her at this time, so he did it. Fumino was surprised when Kyosuke kissed her at first. She didn't expect Kyosuke to be so proactive. But she didn't resist, she just closed her eyes.

I always feel like I'm getting deeper and deeper into it.

This is the thought that comes to both people when they kiss each other.

After the kiss ended, Kyosuke went to the street to buy two crepes to cover himself. Fumino had said that there would be a big dinner in the evening, so Kyosuke planned to save his stomach for a good meal in the evening. So the two of them did not plan to have a full meal at noon, and just took crepes to deal with it.

After giving Fumino a portion of crepe, Kyosuke ate his portion while asking Fumino, "Where are we going next?"

Compared to Kyosuke's unpresentable way of eating, Fumino's gestures while eating crepes revealed a sense of noble elegance. Her posture did not seem like she was eating street snacks, but rather, it was as if she was carefully savoring a high-end dessert.

After she finished eating and wiped her and Kyosuke's mouths with a handkerchief, Fumino began to answer Kyosuke's question: "Buy a gift for Kyosuke. I originally wanted to make handmade chocolates, but then I thought chocolates would be gone after they were eaten, so I decided to buy Kyosuke a watch."

"Why did you think of a watch?" Kyosuke originally thought that the other party would buy him a piece of clothing, but he didn't expect it would be a watch.

Fumino smiled and said, "Because Kyousuke is the only one in the store who doesn't wear a watch."

Kyosuke was a little surprised. He didn't expect Fumino to notice this. [Camelot] provides male hosts with work suits, but only clothes, belts and ties. The watches of other seniors in the store were given to them by their big customers, and they are basically high-end watches worth more than one million yuan.

No one has given Kyosuke a watch yet, and he doesn't want to spend so much money on a luxury item. He might as well install an air conditioner in his bedroom with that money. As for the idea of ​​using an ordinary watch, Kyosuke has never considered it. It would only embarrass himself. If he really did that, he would definitely be beaten into a pancake by the store manager.

"Thank you, Fumino."

Fumino didn't have any special ideas. For her, spending millions to buy a watch for Kyosuke was not a problem at all. She just felt that her Kyosuke must not be outdone by anyone else in the store.

She looked at her phone and said, "I don't really want to give you a Rolex. Although Rolex high-end watches are very good, they feel a bit too common. I plan to buy you a Patek Philippe. Their watches are more suitable for successful men."

Isn't Patek Philippe the top of the world's top ten watches? Kyosuke was a little surprised to hear Fumino's words. After all, he has been in this industry for a long time. Although he is not proficient in luxury goods, Kyosuke is not so ignorant of some basic concepts.

Patek Philippe is one of the only truly independent watchmakers left in Switzerland. All watches are produced by Patek Philippe from start to finish. It is said that it takes 10 years to train a Patek Philippe watchmaker. For Kyosuke, who does not have a single piece of clothing that costs more than 5000 yen, such luxury goods can probably only be touched in dreams, and he dare not even think of buying one.

"Well, isn't the Patek Philippe a bit too expensive? How about changing it?"

Kyosuke was a little hesitant. He originally thought that a watch worth hundreds of thousands would be good, but Fumino's performance far exceeded his expectations.

Fumino didn't care at all. She pulled Kyosuke forward and said, "It's okay. I've already made an appointment at Nisshin-do. It would be bad if I didn't go."

···

Nisshindo is a long-established Japanese watch store with 60 years of history and 6 branches across Japan. This Nisshindo store in Ginza is the main store, and it sells world-famous watch brands including Rolex, Breguet, and Patek Philippe.

Kyosuke looked at the black and gold decorated Nisshin-do and felt that there was a huge gap between his own dress and the luxurious style of the store.

“Well, Fumino, why don’t we just forget about it?”

Fumino didn't care at all and pushed Kyosuke into the store.
