I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

Scathach's smile was a little cold as she held the chain in her hand, but Nero didn't care. She thought it was just because she was looking up at the light from below.

Scathach, with a look of joy, wrapped Lily with a chain and tied her up in a tortoise shell bind. It happened that the chain in her hand was quite long, so in order to avoid wasting it, she kindly tied up Nero who was controlling Lily as well.

"Ah?"

Nero Scathach, who was tied up with Lily, discovered the problem after tying the last knot.

"What's happening here?!"

Chapter 76 Merlin: So I have to take action in the end

"It's perfect, just like me."

Scathach looked at the artwork named "Chained Cat" and nodded continuously. She liked it very much. In Scathach's opinion, this work should be the second thing that made her satisfied this year. The first one was naturally the previous one "Kyosuke Tied to the Criminal Investigation Chair".

"Fuck your brother-in-law! I really believed your lies! Next time if I believe your lies again... Ugh!"

Scathach felt that Nero's cursing was too noisy and affected the perfection of the work, so she simply found a small hand towel from the bathroom and stuffed it into Nero's mouth to make her shut up.

"I'm sorry I couldn't find a ball gag so I had to use this instead, but I think it should keep you quiet for a while."

"Woooo!!"

Nero, speechless, glared at Scathach. If looks could kill, Scathach would have been pierced by thousands of arrows or burned by hellfire.

"Shh - you should smile more often. Getting angry late at night can easily cause wrinkles~"

Scathach smiled happily, and she stroked Nero's oval face with her fingers. When she reached the tip of his chin, Scathach frivolously lifted Nero's chin and blew slightly at her nose, "You are indeed an idiot emperor, who would easily believe his enemy."

“Mmmmm…Mmmmm!”

Nero wanted to spit out the towel in her mouth. Scathach, who noticed her attempt, held the towel in Nero's mouth with her other hand and slowly stuffed the towel back in at a speed that Nero could observe with his eyes.

"A towel can be a good thing. At least it won't drip your saliva onto the floor when you're jealous." After stuffing the towel back in, Scathach deliberately pinched the towel with her hands and turned it around in Nero's mouth twice. "Don't worry. When Kyosuke and I are making out later, I will definitely tell him how hard you've worked tonight and how you've been my best helper for us to get together. So there's actually no need for you to be angry. You're just my foil anyway. But at least compared to Minamoto no Raikou who has fallen to who knows where and the background behind you (Lily: You're the background!), you can at least be known by Kyosuke, right?"

"Um!"

"Good night then, Your Majesty Nero. I hope you have a good sleep on the floor."

Scathach tapped Nero's head and pushed her back to the floor, then snapped her fingers and walked towards Kyosuke's room in a cat-like manner.

"Haha, this is what happens when you betray me."

Lily, whose mouth was not blocked, spoke gloatingly to Nero who was tied to her.

"Mmmmm... Bah, bah." Nero took great effort to spit out the towel in his mouth, "Just shut up!"

"So it's just you who is greedy~"

Lily feels that it is very happy to have someone who can share misfortune with her. Therefore, the way to relieve her inner pain is not to share her suffering or for others to share their happiness with you, but to have someone suffer with you.

"Stop talking nonsense, Kyousuke... Kyousuke... Kyousuke is about to be defiled in front of me!"

Tears kept welling up in Nero's big eyes. His expression, like that of a bullied animal, was quite adorable, but no one present appreciated it.

"Ah, if that's what you're worried about...then you don't have to worry about it."

In order to prevent Scathach from hearing, she suddenly muttered in a very low voice. If Nero and her heads were not very close, Nero might not be able to hear her. But this was also the effect Lily wanted. She absolutely could not let Scathach hear it.

"What do you mean?"

Nero realized that there seemed to be a chance for a turnaround.

"Just wait and see."

Lily looked at Scathach showing off and gave a meaningful smile.

Scathach, who already felt that she had won the final victory, would not care about the wailing of the two golden-haired losers on the ground. In her opinion, the two were probably discussing how to get rid of her after escaping. It was really too sweet. How could I give you such a chance? You can just lie on the floor and listen to Kyosuke's moans to the climax. Tomorrow morning, I will suggest reminding the waiter to deal with the water stains on the floor.

Scathach, in a good mood, came to Kyosuke's bedroom door in two steps. After what happened, the door was still tightly closed, as if everything that happened in the living room outside had nothing to do with it. Scathach also found a note written by Merlin on the door, which looked like a warning from Kyosuke to Merlin not to cross the line, but when she pulled it off, she found that the words on it were written by Merlin.

"Please remember to knock before entering, okay?～"

There was also a Q version of Merlin making a scissors gesture under the note.

"Tsk, you are just playing tricks. Anyway, I am now at the pinnacle of my life. It is really wonderful to play with the male favorites of the Knight King and the Roman Emperor in front of them. Oh, oh~"

Scathach tore the note into pieces without even thinking about it, then she opened the door and shouted inside: "Kyosuke! Good evening--"

chirp——

Then, in Nero's surprised eyes, Scathach suddenly disappeared without even stepping into the room.

"what happened?"

"They were teleported. Merlin obviously set up a barrier on the door handle. Based on the meaning of the note, I guess anyone who didn't knock on the door would be sent away."

"That's great. I like it. Where will that guy go?"

Nero laughed heartily, and could only say that God would punish him according to his will.

"I don't know, but Merlin didn't leave much magic on it, so it probably can't be too far away. Otherwise, that woman would have noticed it just now."

"Then what do we do now?"

Nero looked at himself and Lily who were tied up. Although Scathach's trick did not succeed, the two of them were wrapped up like dumplings, so they could not be considered the winners.

Scathach was obviously proficient in the art of bondage. Nero found that several nodes of the chain were near his sensitive parts. As long as he struggled, he would be rubbed, and then he would be sore and weak that he could not continue to break free. This kind of discomfort of hovering at the critical point made Nero a little crazy. This was obviously done intentionally by the 17-year-old woman.

"Well...who knows."

Lily was in a very good mood now. After all, as long as no one touched Kyosuke, it didn't matter whether she succeeded or not. She had waited for so long anyway, so it didn't matter if she waited for the next opportunity.

"You..."

Nero wanted to say something when he heard a hurried sound, and then the door of the room was kicked open by Scathach, who was soaked all over.

"Altolia Pendragon! Go to hell! This is your fault!"

PS: I'm going to sleep now. I feel like I've been suffering from procrastination recently. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 77 Lily: Learn a new skill - playing poker with your feet

Ever since Scathach rushed in, Nero had been looking at her with a gloating look. Even if one ignored what she had just done to him, and simply looked at her from the perspective of a love rival, Nero found her current appearance of course interesting.

Scathach's well-groomed purple long hair had completely lost its luster and was hanging wetly on her back, looking quite decadent. The tights that were originally used to highlight her figure had become completely useless. Not only was it very uncomfortable to have it stick to her body when wet, but the visual effect created by its tight body after being wet made Scathach quite crazy. She could only say that it was a good thing that no one saw her miserable appearance in the middle of the night, otherwise, even if she had to massacre the entire hotel, Scathach would never let anyone see her like this.

"Altria! This is your fault!"

Scathach grabbed Lily's collar and pulled her up. Lily could feel her eyes spitting fire.

"I have no idea what you're talking about~ Haha."

Lily tried hard to look innocent, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Scathach's dripping hair.

"Did you go swimming? That's really not funny~ Hahaha!"

Scathach shook Lily's head vigorously. She had no patience left now. "I fell directly into the pool in front of the hotel! You should know what happened! Don't tell me that you and Nero were just whispering in each other's ears!"

Although anger had consumed most of Scathach's thoughts, her IQ did not completely drop to zero. Although she had ignored the detail of the two people's whispered conversation because she was too excited before, now thinking back to the expressions of Lily and Nero at that time, it was obvious that they must have known that they would suffer this disaster.

"This matter really has nothing to do with others~"

I'm not lying. The mechanism was made by Merlin and has nothing to do with me.

Lily turned her head away with an attitude of being unfazed, and when she saw Scathach's miserable appearance out of the corner of her eyes, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Stop playing dumb in front of me! You should at least know something, right?!"

"You've been discovered. If you untie me, I'll tell you what to do."

Lily turned her eyes away, and after realizing that she had the initiative, she began to negotiate terms with Scathach. After all, it would be a fool not to take advantage of a good opportunity.

As for what he would do first after escaping, it would be to tie up the soaked old woman with the same chain and stuff her into the freezer of the hotel kitchen, waiting to eat purple grape shaved ice the next morning.

"Do you think my IQ is the same as yours?" Scahha loosened her grip and threw Lily to the ground. She had realized that this guy in front of her had no intention of helping her at all. In that case, she might as well do it herself.

"Just stay here quietly for me."

Can't eat pork without Zhang the Butcher? I don't believe that I can't solve this spell without your help, Altria. After all, I am one of the C-position crutches on the list.

With this thought in mind, Scathach stepped over the two people lying on the ground (she deliberately stepped on Lily's stomach when passing by) and came to the door of the room again. She touched the door handle with her finger and many complicated magic circles appeared in the void. Scathach pulled out the top magic circle and used her finger to pull the edge of the magic circle to enlarge it, then began to analyze the magic circle, "Let me see... This spell requires..."

"Isn't she planning to untie this bit by bit?"

Nero looked at Scathach who was arguing with the door handle with a twitch at the corner of her mouth. She estimated that if she really wanted to find a complete and thorough solution like hers, who knew how long it would take.

Obviously, it can be done by just knocking on the door...

以尼禄的角度来看，如果说敲门解锁是是计算“1+1=2”数学题的话，那么斯卡哈的做法完全就是打算从根本上来证明“1+1为什么会是2”，这其中的差别简直可以说是太差地别。而且最重要的是，现在其实只要知道1+1的答案就是2这一点就够了。

"Who knows? Anyway, if she doesn't untie me, I won't tell her how to open the door."

Lily didn't think too much about it, she even whistled calmly.

"Then we have some waiting to do."

Nero blew the hair on his head helplessly.

Although I was happy that Kyosuke's virginity was saved, it was really boring to just sit there and watch this wet rat do advanced math problems. Nero didn't understand what Scathach was doing at all, and simply felt that the other party was powerful even though he didn't understand it, and he felt like he was hypnotized and drowsy.

···

After 5 minutes.

"It's not healed yet. I thought she would untie it soon."

Nero looked up at Scathach, who had only mastered two spells, and felt a little depressed.

"Just wait. I think this guy will take a long time. After all, this is Merlin's trick. I don't know why that guy's theory is terrible but the actual effect is always amazing. He and Mellie are both the kind of magicians who can achieve the desired effect as long as they think about it. They can be said to be the ultimate geniuses in the wild."

Lily was quite open-minded. She started to use her feet to hook a deck of cards on the coffee table.

···

10 minute later.

"Ha--yawn, I feel so depressed." Because of the position and posture of the binding, Nero's face can only face Scathach's back, "I feel like I'm in Mr. Magus's magic theory class. I can't understand it at all, but I have to watch this guy fiddling with the door handle. Why not just rub it with his **?!"

Nero deliberately raised the volume of his last two sentences so that Scathach could hear them.
