I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

Mashu rolled her eyes at Kyosuke in annoyance. She asked Kyosuke to cover his head with his hands and carefully instructed him, "Don't move for now. I'll take you to the infirmary later. I'll help you with the problem here. And don't forget."

"what?"

Kyosuke found it a little strange to see Mashu jump off the table and turn her back to him.

"You said it yourself, you asked me to dance during the school festival."

Kyosuke then noticed that Mashu's cheeks were slightly red, and it would be really stupid if he couldn't figure out what to say at this point.

"Yeah, I won't forget it."

"very good."

Mashu was very satisfied with Kyosuke's answer. When she looked at the group of guys who were still rolling around in a ball, although her expression was serious, there was a hint of smile in her eyes.

"I'll take care of you in one minute."

Then the massacre began.

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

A few days later, in the service department's activity room.

"So, I don't think it was a loss that my head got hit."

Kyosuke looked at Mashu who was busy in the tea room, with a smile on his face that he couldn't hide.

"Okay, stop showing off."

Hachiman gave Kyosuke a fierce middle finger for his behavior of putting women before friends. This guy has been grinning since the meeting ended that day, which makes Hachiman very unhappy.

"Hehe~ You are jealous."

Kyosuke is very happy now, and the mere complaints from Penguin cannot affect his mood at all.

After the meeting was terminated through negotiation (physical) means, Mashu rushed to take Kyosuke to the infirmary for examination. Kyosuke was really impressed by Nanding's medical skills, and healed himself in just a blink of an eye. However, the process made Kyosuke a little scared. After all, using a saw and a hatchet to treat a concussion, it is estimated that only Nanding in the world can do it.

Although the treatment process was strange, Sister Nan Ding's level was obvious to all. At least the wound on Kyousuke's head healed on the same day without even leaving a scar.

Although Nan Ding repeatedly assured Kyosuke that there was no problem, Mashu was still a little worried. In the following days, Mashu took care of Kyosuke in every possible way. Not to mention taking the initiative to make lunch boxes for Kyosuke and supplement his nutrition, she even provided him with water whenever he asked.

However, Kyosuke felt a little uncomfortable because Mashu watched him too closely. For example, when Kyosuke went to the toilet, Mashu would follow him. In Mashu's own words, "I'm afraid that Kyosuke will get dizzy and fall into the toilet when he goes to the toilet."

I just had a mild concussion, and it wasn't brain tissue hyperplasia that affected the movement of my lower limbs. Besides, my concussion had already healed a long time ago!

However, Kyosuke's defense was completely useless in front of Mashu, who continued to take care of Kyosuke in an all-round way with an intensity of at least 16 hours a day. Only when he went home to sleep at night could Kyosuke temporarily escape from Mashu's surveillance. As a result, another problem arose, that is, it became very difficult for others to approach Kyosuke. Except for Yukino and Miura, who needed to discuss with Kyosuke because they had to prepare for the school festival project, the rest of the girls were basically driven away by Mashu to a space 20 meters away from Kyosuke.

"Senior is injured and needs to rest. We can talk about it after he recovers."

The direct consequence of this is that Kyosuke can now only chat with Hachiman apart from work, which is why Hachiman is so impatient with him.

PS1: This is the first update. This chapter has 4k1 words in total, which is the normal update for today. There will be another chapter later, which is the bonus for last week's bounty. Currently, Mi Jiang owes a total of 3 chapters for the bounty, and the one that will be updated later is the first chapter.

Chapter 12 Kyosuke: I hate narcissists who don't care about Uncle Hai (spreading hands)

"What exactly are we here for today?" Hachiman finally asked the question in his heart after enduring Kyosuke's nagging about Mashu for a long time. "You know, everyone in the class is in training. It's not good for you three organizers to come out for tea, right?"

"This..."

Kyosuke's eyes did not leave Mashu's busy back in the tea room. He was a little absent-minded about Hachiman's question. "Yukino asked us to wait for her here first, so we'll just wait. I don't mind if you want to go back to class to suffer."

Hachiman felt his anus tighten when he thought about what might happen if the rest of the class found out Kyousuke didn't come back with him.

The previous loot-sharing meeting ended with Mashu's strong intervention. After all, no matter how many people there are, they are just small fry. They can't make any waves in front of Mashu, a formally graduated Knight of the Round Table. Therefore, as the primary contributor to calming down this chaos, Mashu was given a great degree of freedom in funding control. And Mashu was not polite either. She directly took away 2 yen in the name of the 80nd year F group and the service department. This sufficient budget made all other groups or classes in the school extremely jealous, but they had no way to deal with it. Through the live broadcast, they saw clearly how Mashu, a petite and soft girl, used her invincible skills to beat people. Those who thought they couldn't beat this pink-haired and bespectacled girl could do nothing but grit their teeth and admit defeat.

By the way, after Kyosuke knew that the meeting was broadcast live, he asked for the video and watched it three times from beginning to end. He was relieved only after he was sure that there was no shot of Shiyu paddling for him.

As the saying goes, "If you have food in your hands, you won't be worried." With such a large budget, both the F class's host shop and the service club's school festival activities can be proud of the whole school with huge financial support.

As the leader of the host club, Kyousuke spent money lavishly and without restraint, adhering to the principle that if you have money but don't spend it, you're a bastard. Even Miura couldn't stand it in some places and wanted him to restrain himself, but Mashu's move of completely giving up power only encouraged Kyousuke's spending behavior.

Although Kyosuke was a bit wasteful in spending money, he spent it all on the cost of opening the store, and he did not embezzle any funds. For the decoration, he brought in the round table decoration team headed by Gawain, and thanked Mashu for forgiving him. After nearly a month of cold war, he was finally able to enter the door of [Camelot] again. In fact, for the decoration, Gawain and others were completely friendly services, and did not charge a dime for processing or decoration engineering fees except for the cost.

As for the clothing, Kyosuke asked Merlin to take care of it. [Camelot] has a special clothing cooperation team. Every knight's work suit is tailor-made. Although the workmanship is fine, the price is also frighteningly expensive. If Merlin didn't help, Kyosuke estimated that he might not be able to buy a piece of clothing even if he spent all 80. For this reason, Kyosuke no longer cared about it after giving Merlin a 30 clothing budget. He only asked the other party to deliver the customized clothing to him within the specified time, and he didn't ask anything else.

According to Kyosuke's understanding of Merlin's character, although he is a scumbag, he will not take the money and not do the job. Moreover, he has promised to give him the remaining money as a slush fund. It seems that there shouldn't be too many problems. I will talk to Mashu before going home today and ask her to help keep an eye on it.

As for the other expensive ingredient, Kyousuke did not use some food additives to simplify the production process like the general school festival simulation business. In line with the attitude of striving for excellence and professional ethics, Kyousuke planned to use fresh ingredients to extract the main source of income in the class simulation business. Because all the drinks sold were non-alcoholic drinks, Kyousuke did not consider the alcohol purity of the finished cocktails at all, as long as the taste was guaranteed, so Kyousuke gave up additives such as concentrated juice and directly used freshly squeezed juice for mixing.

His decision caused complaints from many girls in the class who were in charge of logistics. After all, this would add an extra step for them to prepare the raw materials, which was much more cumbersome than simply mixing the juice.

However, their complaints did not change Kyosuke's mind. He knew that this school festival was played so big by Yang No, and people in the circle would definitely come to try it out. In this situation, he must not destroy his own brand. You know, Kyosuke is still counting on the flow of people from the school festival to convert into the flow of people to his bar. After experiencing several failed promotions, he has now completely given up the idea of ​​developing customers in the direction of ordinary people, so he must strive to be the best in the circle. Even if it can't be compared with [Camelot], at least it must have a good reputation.

As for the division of labor in the store, Kyosuke directly separated the boys and girls. The girls served as waiters and logistics personnel. Their main job, in addition to the first round of processing of the raw materials of the cocktails, such as squeezing juice, was to deliver the cocktails that had been prepared at the bar to the customers. Anyway, these girls were not the protagonists of this simulated business, so they just needed to be assigned tasks and not to watch the whole process.

After a brief job description, Kyosuke handed all the girls over to Saki. Anyway, the girls' work content was not much different from her part-time job in his own store, and Kyosuke said he was very relieved to hand it over to his trusted confidant. After all, Saki did a good job in his own store, so there was no reason why she couldn't do well here. And as long as the girls followed Saki's instructions, there would be basically no big problems.

What really makes it difficult for Kyosuke is the boys. Apart from other things, the job assignment is a headache for Kyosuke. According to his original plan, the boys were divided into three categories based on their appearance. The first category was handsome (including Kyosuke himself) to be male hostess. After all, this was the face of the 2nd year F group, so they had to be strictly selected. The second category was average-looking to serve cocktails at the bar. There were no big requirements for appearance, as long as they looked decent. As for the third category, those who really looked sorry for the audience, Kyosuke had to send them backstage to do hard labor for the girls. If they were put in the front desk and complained by customers, it would be a big problem. It would be best to put them in the back so that they would not be bothered.

It's just that Kyosuke really underestimated the narcissism of the boys in the class. He had always heard that girls were very narcissistic before, but this rare time to see boys being narcissistic really made him vomit blood. Of course, this is also largely related to the loopholes in the system that Kyosuke customized. In order to stimulate the subjective initiative of the male public relations in the class, Kyosuke stated in front of the whole class that the public relations received tips and the drinks ordered by the guests would have a corresponding proportion of commission, and the money would directly belong to the public relations themselves.

Kyosuke originally hoped that these shy guys would be more open for the commission, which should at least improve their performance by two levels. However, Kyosuke underestimated the temptation of money for adolescent boys of high school age. Inspired by the pocket money, the boys in Class F rushed to get the quota to become male hosts, and even a few girls in the class with neutral looks came to join in the fun.

Kyousuke's head was about to explode when he thought of those ugly guys who looked like they were the only male hosts. He ran to the club right after class, and apart from Yukino's call, he was also there to seek refuge.

It's really scary to have a narcissist who has no idea what he is doing.

PS: I still owe two more chapters for the reward, which I expect to pay off during the National Day holiday. I will be notified of the specific date. _(:з」∠)_

Chapter 13 Mashu: I found that I have more than one idea [Two in one]

"That's enough. Since we're here to rest, let's not talk about those annoying things. Here, senior, your tea." Mashu placed a cup of tea and a small plate of snacks in front of Kyosuke, then she placed her own snacks on the empty seat to Kyosuke's left and sat down.

"Ah, thank you. I'm really sorry to bother you all the time."

Although he said polite words, Kyosuke's actions were not polite at all. He picked up the teacup and smelled the fragrance coming from the cup, showing a contented look. His arrogant look made Hachiman very angry, but he didn't dare to get angry directly, so he could only look at Mashu with pitiful eyes.

Mashu closed her eyes and savored the tea in her hand without even looking at Hachiman. "Hikigaya-san, if you want to go get it yourself, I've put it here."

"..."

Hachiman looked at the empty table in front of him and sighed sadly, then he could only get up and prepare his own afternoon tea.

Listening to the laughter coming from behind from time to time, Hachiman, who was eating dog food alone in the tea room, felt sad for himself. When he walked out of the tea room with his own hot tea and snacks, he saw Yukino, the head of the service department, walking in.

"Good afternoon, Yukinoshita-san."

"Ah."

In response to Hachiman's greeting, Yukino, who had something on her mind, just nodded.

"Ah, Yukino-chan. You've worked hard. Please sit down."

Mashu took the initiative to stand up and lead Yukino to the head seat at the round table, then very naturally took the things from Hachiman's hand and placed them in front of Yukino, "Here, this is the afternoon tea I specially asked Hikigaya-san to prepare for you."

"Thank you."

"Hey, this is me—"

Mashu stepped forward and interrupted Hachiman, "If you want to drink it, go get yourself another one."

"...Okay, Master Mashu."

Hachiman opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to remain silent. Kyosuke, who was standing by, saw Hachiman's dumb look and tried hard not to laugh.

"Okay, I came to you today to confirm with you about the project that our service club will bring out at the school festival."

Yukino put down the teacup, massaged her temples with her fingers, and said in distress, "I hope everyone can come up with a more feasible plan, otherwise our Service Club will become the laughing stock of Sobu High School."

Hachiman, who once again ran to the tea room, turned back and expressed his doubts after hearing what Yukino said, "Wait a minute, why do we have to come up with a project too? What does this large-scale event have to do with a small club like ours?"

Although the Service Club had recruited members last semester and had expanded to 9 members, it was still a small club compared to clubs with dozens or even a dozen members. Although it was not as large as those big clubs, the Service Club had a very good relationship with the current student union, so its budget was not as high as those big clubs with dozens of members.

However, even so, it is an indisputable fact that there are too few people. When facing large-scale events such as the school festival, small members like the Service Club are usually attached to a class as co-participants. Because most of the members of the Service Club are from the second-year F group (and three of them are representatives of the F class), the plan to open the Service Club is to be affiliated with the host shop as a simulated business partner.

"Originally, it was like this, but this year is special. You all know how special it is. Anyway, today our beloved chairman requires all regular clubs registered with the student department to come up with their own projects to participate in the school festival. If they don't participate, then the club will be removed from the student union. So this is something that must be done. Now time is very tight, so we must have a rough plan today."

Yukino gritted her teeth as she said this. She was already busy enough as she was responsible for the foreign language drama in her class. On top of that, Kyosuke and the others were also busy with their own class store opening matters. The Service Club was basically an empty shell during the school festival. It was really difficult for her to come up with a project under such circumstances.

“No matter what we do, there are not enough people…”

Kyosuke took the materials that Yukino had given him and looked at them. The clause that only official members of the club could participate eliminated most of the projects that could be done. Yukino had already informed him and the others that her class's foreign language drama had to perform twice a day (in the morning and afternoon). During the school festival, she had no time to take care of other things except for the lunch break at noon and after 3 pm.

As for the others, Kyosuke himself, Miura, Mashu and Ayaka are all the main force of the host shop, especially himself and Ayaka who is mainly a small bottom attribute, they are an indispensable part. The remaining Mordred, Hachiman and Yui are dispensable in class activities, but they can't take up the main responsibility, especially the guy Mordred. Without Mashu watching over him, who knows what he will do. And the only non-F class member Zaimokuza is just a nominal supporting role. Kyosuke can't think of any role for this guy except being a chuunibaku.

Of course, there is also the most important issue - the budget. When Mashu first got the budget, he applied for it in the name of both Class F and the Service Club, and then all of it was included in the funds for Class F to open a host parlor. This decision was agreed upon by everyone in the Service Club at the time. It is easy to give money but difficult to ask for it. Under the current circumstances, there is definitely no way to apply for additional funds from the school. In addition to the guaranteed 10 yuan, Kyousuke estimates that he can use his authority as the project leader to deduct 5 from the budget of the host parlor at most. 15 funds seem to be a lot, but there are too few things that can be done.

"How about we make a simple library? How about borrowing a few comics and putting them here for people to borrow and read? Then Yui and I will just sit here and maintain discipline."

Hachiman sat down with the freshly brewed teacup, and seeing that everyone looked gloomy, he offered his own opinion.

"Hmm... But this doesn't reflect the characteristics of our service club at all, right? Sister... The president requires the club to bring out something that must be related to the club's own activities."

Yukino was somewhat tempted by what Hachiman proposed but she ultimately gave up the proposal.

"Speaking of the purpose of the Service Club, it's to help people in need, right?" Kyosuke scratched his short hair and made a suggestion that he himself felt was not very reliable, "How about being a lost and found office for the school festival?"

Yukino rolled her eyes at Kyosuke in annoyance, "The school has a special lost and found office, so what you're doing is totally unnecessary. When I came here just now, I even thought about some other projects to help others, such as finding people or being a guide, but I gave up later. We are just too few in number."

"It's also true for... projects with a small number of people who want to help others..."

"Let me make it clear first, submitting an application in the name of helping other clubs and then staying in your gigolo club is totally unacceptable."

Kyosuke was about to say something when Yukino interrupted him.

"How did you..."

Xue No spread her hands and said helplessly: "It's very simple. I thought of this proposal before, but it was rejected by the chairman."

Mashu looked at the list and raised her hand weakly, "Arnold, I have an idea, I wonder if it will work."

"what?"

Kyosuke and Yukino immediately came in front of Mashu.

"Comics supplement pre-order."

Mashu's suggestion left Kyosuke a little confused, "What is that?"

"Comiket has been held since 1975, and there have been 90 editions so far, right? It's easier to get the doujinshi in recent years because of the development of the Internet, but I believe that many people can't get the early doujinshi because of the circulation and other various reasons, right? We can ask them to submit relevant applications and help them fill in the missing doujinshi."
