I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

Seeing Kyosuke starting to chase people away, several girls left laughing.

"Really..."

Looking at the girls' departing backs, Kyosuke shook his head helplessly.

"Xiao Jing, don't be so depressed. You are wearing very handsome clothes today."

Seeing that Kyosuke wasn't in a very good mood, Yui quickly encouraged her friend.

"thank you."

Kyosuke responded to Yui, but his forced smile was really unconvincing.

"Anyway, I'll go check it out one last time, and you can go to the door to greet customers when the store opens."

Without waiting for Yui to say anything, Kyosuke left with a heavy heart. He felt that he needed to calm down first.

Just like that, after staring until ten o'clock in the morning, the [Marginal] class of 2nd year F where Kyosuke was studying finally opened.

"welcome."

Kyosuke greeted a white-collar worker in his 20s who walked in. The man seemed to be standing at the door of the classroom out of pure curiosity. Kyosuke saw that he was interested and took advantage of the moment when he was still hesitant to make a move and approached him to solicit customers.

"You... hello."

The white-collar lady seemed a little reserved. I don't know if it was because she had never been to a gigolo bar before or if she was just shy around minors like high school students.

"Please come over here."

Kyousuke didn't care about the other party's attitude. He naturally led the white-collar lady inside. He had seen many such embarrassed customers when he was in Camelot before, but she still took money out of their pockets. Or it could be said that such fledgling customers were the easiest to get sales.

Because they don't know anything, they are easier to deceive.

This is what Merlin said to him before, but Kyosuke thinks it's a bit too much, but it does make sense.

After leading the white-collar worker to the sofa in the small compartment specially made for Class F, Kyosuke sat next to him naturally.

"What would you like to drink, sir? Quite Passion or Cinderella?"

"Um... I don't really understand any of this, just take whatever you say~"

The white-collar lady glanced at the drink list Kyosuke handed her. It looked like she had never been to a gigolo bar before. Kyosuke even estimated that he seldom went to ordinary bars. After seeing that the amount of drinks was about the same, she gave the initiative to Kyosuke.

"Okay, I understand." Kyosuke snapped his fingers toward the outside, "Someone come here."

"Hey, what does this guest want?"

Shashi immediately appeared at the door of the compartment.

"A glass of Shirley Temple."

Generally speaking, when drinking with a male host, both the client and the male host have one glass of wine. Of course, the male host's expenses are also charged to the client. However, this unwritten rule will make those newcomers who don't know much about the business understand very well. It's not like they haven't seen questions like "Why should I pay for my own consumption in your store?" Kyosuke has seen this before, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Kyosuke only ordered a cocktail for the other party. Anyway, as long as there is something, there is money to be made, so there is no need to worry about so much. At that time, if I don't order this glass myself, but trick the customer into ordering a second glass, the profit will actually be the same.

"OK, just a second."

After all, Saki was a capable person who had worked under Kyosuke. After quickly writing down the cocktail ordered by Kyosuke, she immediately went to the bar and asked the bartender to prepare it. The whole process was smooth and not at all delayed.

"That's amazing..." The girl at the bar looked at Saki's back as she left with her cocktail and couldn't help but exclaimed, "I heard that Kawasaki seems to have a part-time job outside? He's really different from us."

Another girl who was sitting at the bar waiting for customers nodded, "Yeah, it looks like she's just working as a waitress. But I can't tell from Kousaka-san, he usually looks silly with his glasses on. He's surprisingly handsome without them."

"And he seems to be very talkative. But don't you think Kosaka is a little too skilled? They all received training together from Mr. Gawain, and the other boys are really far behind him."

The girl in front looked at Kyosuke who was making the guests giggle, then turned around to look at the other boys standing at the door with a reserved look on their faces. The difference between the two made her sigh.

"Are they planning to wait for the guests to come in directly?"

The latter girl was also very dissatisfied with the boys' shyness. You know, several customers almost came in just now, but they backed out in the end because they were a little embarrassed. During this process, none of the boys took the initiative to invite them. Compared with Kyosuke who took the initiative to solicit customers, they were really embarrassed.

"Looks like it needs some motivation."

Miura pinched her chin and looked at the boys with blushing faces. In her opinion, you are not like Ayaka, who sells submissive attributes, so why are you pretending to be shy? What you really should do is to go up and pull the people.

"Hmm... I got it." Mashu came up with a good idea. "Let's ask the senior to post his sales figures later. Maybe this will stimulate others."

PS: This chapter is updated on the 1st. It's the first time that Mi Jiang has been stuck all night. I'm going to sleep first. I'll talk to you when you wake up.

Chapter 17 Kyosuke: Why do I always run into familiar faces wherever I go? [Two in One]

"Haha, Kyousuke, you're still as funny as ever."

"No, I think it's just that your sense of humor is too low..."

Kyosuke couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the young lady who was laughing at his joke. He really didn't expect to meet her at the school festival. The lady in front of him, Rie, was one of Kyosuke's old customers at Camelot. She was also the fifth customer he received today. However, compared to the Yukinoshita family or Shiwa who came to the store just to find her, this person was more interested in Lancelot, who was obsessed with wives. Only after that dead camel was ordered away would he choose Kyosuke, a cheap guy.

In her words, since everyone was here, it would be a bit unwilling not to ask someone to relax with them, but at the same time, Lord Lancelot didn't have time, so he asked Kyosuke, the cheapest guy, to pass the time.

Although this lady often belittled Kyosuke in her words, the tips she gave were basically not low. It even seemed that Miss Rie was enough to order Blind Cui once, including the tips and the money for the drinks (just a drink with her, not counting the consumption). Kyosuke was very puzzled by the other party's behavior, because he did not ask much about the rules of the industry. However, Kyosuke still had some guesses. In view of the other party's preference for Lancelot, Kyosuke privately believed that the other party should have been married for several years and even had children, and it was very likely that even the name Rie was not the other party's real name. It was probably because Lancelot was looking for him because his marriage was just in a bad period, and it was probably because he looked for himself because he was young and thought of his children, so he subconsciously wanted to take care of them.

Of course, these are all Kyosuke's conjectures. Anyway, as a professional male host, Kyosuke knows that everything else is fake, and the money he gets is real. And although the other party is not ugly, for Kyosuke who was obsessed with Fumino at the time, this lady in front of him is still a little short of the mark. In addition, the other party obviously has more feelings for Lancelot, so in the end, Kyosuke left [Camelot], and he and Ms. Rie were just a customer and waiter.

Of course, this is what Kyosuke thought, but after meeting again today, Kyosuke felt that the other party did not seem as heartless as he thought.

"Oh, oh. It's been a long time since we last met." Lihui drank the drink in her cup in one gulp. "I didn't see you when I went to the store before. Later, I asked and found out that you had left. But no one in the store could tell me where you went. Really...if you quit, please send me a message to let me know! I was sad for a long time after you left~"

As Rie spoke, she leaned her head against Kyosuke's arms. However, the fact that she was howling without any tears made Kyosuke realize that even if the other party really had feelings for him, her emotions were probably limited and it was probably more of a means of flirting.

"Well, a friend opened a bar and asked me to help, so I went to work for him."

Hearing Kyosuke's answer, Rie looked up at him, her big watery eyes twinkling in a cute way: "They say even if the deal fails, the friendship remains! After all, I've been your regular customer for such a long time, and you didn't even send me a cell phone or email. Kyosuke is so heartless."

Even if I really quit and get married, what does it have to do with you! Also, although I don’t know your exact age, you are at least an adult, so it’s shameful to act cute maliciously!

Kyosuke wondered if it was a mistake for him to take the initiative to greet this old acquaintance. But if he hadn't gone up to him, Kyosuke estimated that he would have flirted with all the guards at the door of his class. He could only say that she was a senior lady in the gigolo world. These temporary workers under him were no match for her.

Rie didn't care about Kyosuke's psychological changes. She rubbed her cheek against Kyosuke's chest skillfully. Although Kyosuke knew that her petite look was probably fake, he had to admit that her slightly round baby face was really an advantage.

Seeing that Kyosuke did not reject her action, Rie became even more presumptuous. She put one hand around Kyosuke's shoulders and made him get closer to her, still yelling: "I thought Kyosuke had quit his job and returned to his hometown to get married. I didn't expect that you just changed jobs. No wonder other people in the store didn't dare to tell me. But you dared to change jobs from Camelot, and your manager didn't break your legs?"

"It's not a malicious move, I'm just helping a friend. So even though Li, the Pendragon store manager, is reluctant to let me go, she still let me go."

When talking about Lily, Kyosuke's eyes dodged slightly, and this subtle movement was immediately caught by Rie who had been observing him.

"Hmm~" Rie licked her lips, she stretched out her arms and hugged Kyosuke's head, "It seems that you don't want to mention the old manager. Could it be because she put her hands on you? I didn't expect that my Kyosuke is quite popular~"

What do you mean by your Kyosuke?

Kyosuke wanted to retort, but when he thought about this rich lady who used to spend money like water when she was spending money at Camelot, he thought that if he served her well, she might give him a lot of tips. Such a big guest is worth several ordinary guests. Based on the guests he received before, Kyosuke had a general understanding of the audience visiting the Takefu Festival.

In addition to the students and staff of the school, most of the people who come to participate in the school festival of their own school are the relatives and friends of the students and the seniors who graduated from Sobu High School. Although there are a lot of advertisements for Yang No, because today is a weekday, the possibility that those who have to work will come to the Takefu Festival cannot be said to be zero, but it is really very small. In this case, the male host bar of Class F of the second year will become very awkward. The reason is very simple. There are too few people who have been to a host bar among the people who come to the Takefu Festival. Think about it, although it is a legal business, the host bar is not a serious business after all. How can the people who extend from the Sobu High School students often play this kind of tune?

The few guests Kyosuke had entertained before were all young and tender. If he hadn't taken the initiative to attract them, Kyosuke estimated that these guests would probably end up like other passers-by, who would stop to look out of curiosity, but were too shy to come in because they had never been to a similar store before. Even if Kyosuke shamelessly invited such guests in, they would not spend much. Basically, the income from two to three cocktails was quite considerable. But even so, there was not much profit in the end. After all, the name of non-alcoholic cocktails sounded cool, but in essence, it was just mixed juice. Even if it was much more advanced than the so-called canned mixed juice sold in vending machines, it was really not easy to sell it too expensively after removing the high-priced alcohol.

Just like Kyousuke himself doesn't like things like maid cafes that have high added value, the host bar in Class F is actually the same thing. Host bars never sell alcohol but the opportunity to drink and chat with handsome guys, a chance for you to talk about your troubles and find someone to chat with you. This invisible and intangible thing is the driving force for women to spend money in host bars. Just like otakus go to maid cafes not to eat and drink coffee but to enjoy being served by girls.

Kyosuke actually regretted adopting the strategy of small profits but quick turnover. You know, his original plan was to rely on the large number of gigolos in Class F to win by volume. But reality told Kyosuke that he thought too simply. If he really followed the previous established ideas, he would only die miserably. But now it was too late to change the strategy temporarily. At least it was impossible for the first half of the morning. All Kyosuke could do was to use his old driver's methods to gain more sales and give people more confidence before mobilizing the whole class at noon.

In this case, the old lover in front of him became very important. Although Kyosuke didn't know what kind of identity the other party came to participate in the Wufeng Festival, he knew one thing very well - this old customer was rich, and she was also very willing to pay, but all the prerequisite was that he had to serve her well.

In fact, when Kyosuke was thinking about these things, in Rie's eyes, this little boy who didn't talk and had his mouth slightly open had his old habit of being in a daze again. But Kyosuke had this habit a long time ago, and Rie knew it. And she also had a special trick to deal with Kyosuke who fell into this state.

Lihui first glanced at the door of the cubicle with the corner of her eyes. After making sure that no one noticed what was happening in her cubicle, she secretly licked her fingertips with her tongue and then used this finger to touch Kyosuke's eyes. Lihui was very satisfied with this little action she invented. This way, she would not appear to be too clingy with this little man, but it also showed the intimacy between the two.

"Ok!"

Kyousuke woke up immediately after feeling something strange in his eyes. After seeing that it was Rie's prank, he could only shake his head and express his helplessness, "You do it again. Aren't you afraid of being seen by someone you know?"

"It's obviously Kyosuke's fault!" Rie danced in Kyosuke's arms, "You were distracted while talking to someone, were you thinking about that big blonde cow? I didn't expect you were interested in her? Why didn't you just do it to her? I have sharp eyes, if you were interested in her, that woman would definitely take off her clothes, wash herself, and sleep in your bed."

Kyosuke directly denied it: "No!"

Rie looked at Kyosuke with suspicion, "So what are you thinking about?"

"thinking of you."

"Tsk, who would believe that? I'm right in front of you, and you're thinking I'm still distracted."

It’s true, but what they’re thinking about is not you but your money.

Kyosuke didn't say what he was thinking. He grabbed the little hand that was scratching his face restlessly and looked at Lihui seriously: "If you don't believe it, forget it."

"Yeah, I just don't believe it." Rie stared back at Kyosuke, not wanting to be outdone, "You must be thinking about her."

"You're kidding. How could she possibly be interested in an ordinary poor boy like me?"

Rie immediately put on a successful prank smile. "I didn't say who it was, but you thought of her right away. It seems like you're feeling guilty."

"..."

Why do married people (women) nowadays like to act cute so much?

Kyosuke felt that there was definitely something wrong with this world, and what was even worse was that he was actually touched by this expression.

"Hehe, Kyousuke. Come on~"

While Kyosuke was distracted, Rie took the initiative to move her head closer.

Feeling Rie's breath getting closer and closer, Kyosuke hurriedly tried to push her away from him.

"That's enough, you know the rules."

"That's just the rule she made. This isn't her territory now." Rie said nonchalantly, "I've wanted to try Kyousuke's taste for a long time. Now I can finally get what I want."

"No, it's not just Camelot, the entire industry is very strict about having sex with customers." Seeing that Rie wanted to say something, Kyosuke quickly continued, "Besides, this is a school. We are just a simulated business at best. If we do something out of line, we will definitely be in big trouble."

Li Hui glanced at him with a half-smile and said calmly, "You don't dare? Or don't you want to?"

Kyousuke raised his hands in surrender, "That's enough, stop making things difficult for me. Any answer I give to this kind of question would be wrong, right?"

Although choosing to be an ostrich is the worst option, but Rie is not Fumino, Kyosuke doesn't need to do this. If it was Fumino or Shiyu, he would definitely hug her and nibble her without giving them the chance to ask such questions.

"Tsk, what a pity."

Rie was obviously dissatisfied with Kyosuke's answer, but she couldn't force him too much. After all, her attitude towards Kyosuke was mostly about playing with toys. If it was her favorite Lord Lancelot, maybe... No, if it was Lord Lancelot, she would never embarrass him. Because she knew that she would not get a response from that Lord, she would never ask such a low-level question to that Lord. She would be happy just looking at that Lord from a distance.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. Rie couldn't find a reason to speak, and Kyosuke didn't know how to respond to Rie.

After a long time, Rie seemed to be tired of such silence, and she took the initiative to break free from Kyosuke's arms.

"That's enough for today. I'm tired. Check out."

Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He picked up the receipt hanging on the table leg and said, "Hello, the total is..."

Rie interrupted Kyosuke and took out a wad of cash from her bag and placed it on the table: "Here, no need to change."
