I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

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

Dango, no, it’s Yuigahama Yui’s request. It’s the same as the original. She still hopes that the Service Club can help make cookies.

However, Kyosuke could not deny that Yui's cooking skills were really bad. The difficulty of Western pastries lies in the details, such as the decorative steps of decorating with cream. Generally speaking, as long as people with poor cooking skills follow the recipe, the pastries they make will at most be a little ugly in appearance, and the taste will generally not be much different. Moreover, cookies have molds to assist, so they are generally not that bad.

Of course, this refers to the general level, and the dango cooking skills are obviously beyond the general level. Kyousuke swore that he had only seen this kind of black blocky substance once in his two lifetimes combined - Merlin who was blasted with light by the store manager.

"What is this...?"

"Cookies." Yui felt embarrassed herself.

“I thought it was curry!”

Hachiman was a little surprised by Kyousuke's complaints: "This kind of carbide would never think of curry, right?"

Yukino picked up a small piece of Merlin, examined it for a while, and said, "Would you like to try it? Only after you have tasted it can you think of ways to improve it."

"No, I don't think eating this kind of charcoal will have any other consequences except food poisoning." Kyosuke directly rejected Yukino's suggestion. Although he liked to tease Hachiman, he would not go to the extent of sending him to the hospital. After all, a lively and energetic Hikigaya was more fun.

"So it's better to ask Yuigahama not to cook anymore?" Hachiman thought as he looked at these so-called cookies.

"That's too much. I'm angry and I'm going to stay at home." Tuanzi puffed up his cheeks and made a puffing sound to express his anger.

Regarding Tuanzi's cute behavior, Kyosuke said, "You are not Utsuki, so what the hell?"

Yukino took out another batch of materials and placed them on the table, saying, "Anyway, let me demonstrate first. Yuigahama-san, follow me and do it again."

"Ok."

Kyosuke looked at Yukino's behavior and felt that Yukino was really not suitable for teaching others. Maybe Yukino did a great job, but she couldn't help others learn what she knew. Just like now, Yukino was completely doing it by herself, and it was quite difficult for Tuanzi to follow.

In many places, Yukino thought that the steps were common sense and just did them without any explanation. People like Tuanzi who can make materials into charcoal need reminders on these small steps the most.

The result is obvious. Although Yukino was there to demonstrate so that Tangzi didn't have to make another Merlin the second time, the appearance was not much better.

"Do I have absolutely no talent for cooking?" Yui looked frustrated as she looked at what she had made.

Yukino hesitated whether to respond. Although she had said at the beginning that she should not give up on the excuse of not having talent, Yui slapped her in the face with the actual results. She covered her head and sighed, "Why can't I teach you?"

Kyousuke tasted a cookie made by each of them and commented, "The taste is so different. It doesn't look like they were baked in the same batch."

“Ugh…” Yui looked even more frustrated after hearing this.

After eating a cookie made by Yukino, Hachiman seemed to have an idea: "Why do you want to make delicious cookies?"

"What do you want to say?" Kyosuke guessed what the other person was thinking.

Hachiman looked at Yukino and Yui and said, "Please come back here in ten minutes. I will let you taste the real 'handmade cookies'."

Kyosuke interrupted the other person and said, "Forget it. You probably want to do it yourself and then tell Yuigahama that the most important thing is the thought. Forget it. With your grades in home economics, I don't want to suffer."

Hachiman took a step back and looked at Kyosuke in surprise, "How did you know?"

Kyosuke took off his glasses, opened his eyes, looked at the three people and said, "Your thoughts are written all over your face, how could I not know it? You might as well just let Yuigahama-san learn to shout 'Burning Love!' It might be more effective. There was something wrong with Yukinoshita's teaching method just now, let me teach Yuigahama-san how to make cookies."

"What did you say..." Yukino seemed a little dissatisfied when she heard that she was denied. She wanted to refute Kyosuke, but was stunned when she saw Kyosuke's confident eyes.

Hachiman had heard before that some people look very different with or without glasses, but this was the first time he saw someone's face change when they took off their glasses. Even Yui was shocked by Kyosuke's eyes. Although Mordred had said during the chat that Kosaka-san had become more handsome recently, everyone thought that Mordred was bragging in the name of a friend and didn't take it seriously. But now Yui knew that Mordred-san was not lying.

Looking at Kyosuke who looked like he had had plastic surgery, the other three people in the classroom were thinking: Who are you, handsome guy?

Chapter 8 Kyosuke: Education is education, not taking advantage of others

Yukinoshita Yukino was speechless as she watched the scene in front of her. It was weird. The only way to describe the scene was weird. Edward Hall, an American anthropologist, once talked about the theory of safe distance between people. According to this theory, the distance between people who know each other is generally about 45 cm to 120 cm. If this distance is exceeded, unless there is an ulterior motive, both parties will feel unsafe whether talking or interacting with each other.

Especially for a girl like Yuigahama Yui who is a bit timid, she will be particularly careful about this kind of thing. She may not understand what is a safe distance, but she will pay attention to the contact with others. Especially within 45 cm or even zero distance contact, it should be allowed only by very close people, such as relatives, friends and lovers.

According to the information he had obtained, Takasaka and Yuigahama should only be classmates who knew each other. The two were neither childhood sweethearts who had known each other for a long time, nor were they close friends who knew each other at school. However, the two people in front of him...

"Look, this is how you use the sieve." Kyosuke held Yui's hands and instructed her how to beat the flour with the sieve.

“Okay… okay.” Yui blushed and lowered her head as she agreed softly.

There might be nothing wrong with just listening to the conversation, but the postures of the two people made Yukino feel that if they took a photo and showed it out, people who didn't know the inside story would definitely think that this was a couple showing off their love. Even though people are visual animals, Yui, aren't you too quick? Although I was also attracted by Kousaka's handsome face at the beginning, I immediately sobered up when I thought that this guy was the culprit who destroyed my family relationship. But Yuigahama-san seemed to have completely fallen for him.

Yukino looked at Yui, who was almost completely leaning on Kyosuke's arms. Kyosuke was controlling her hands like a puppet to complete all the steps of making cookies. And every time when they reached a step that needed attention, Kyosuke would lean over to Yui's head and instruct her in a very gentle tone. Yukino found that this little girl was so embarrassed by Kyosuke's intimate behavior that her face and hair turned the same color.

Kosaka, are you sure you are teaching others how to make cookies and not flirting? No wonder my mother likes you so much, you are really good at it. And who said that this guy can't communicate? Please stand up, it's not that he can't communicate, but that he is too good at communicating.

And Yuigahama, although you are dressed like a prostitute, aren't you actually a pure virgin? You are fooled by a boy you don't know and flirt with him. You want to make cookies for other boys, but if you keep doing this, you will run away with the playboy Takasaka.

Thinking of this, Yukino glanced at Hachiman Hikigaya who looked like he had a stomachache beside him. She always felt that his hair seemed to be a little green in black. Although Yui had not explained in detail who she was going to give the cookies to before, she was not a girl who was very good at hiding herself. From some small details, such as the fact that she kept playing with her fingers when she said she was going to give it to a boy and her eyes kept drifting towards Hachiman, Yukino could definitely conclude that the person Yui was going to give the cookies to was the dead fish eye next to her.

As for Hikigaya Hachiman, he didn't notice the pitiful look Yukino gave him. How much experience does Kyosuke have to be so skilled? Although I have been teasing him before that he is a hot-shot guy who needs to explode, I still feel... quite uncomfortable when I see his playboy behavior. We clearly agreed to walk hand in hand to the end of the dead fish eye road, how come you become such a person during the spring break? You traitor, you should go to heaven as soon as possible!

Yukino and Hachiman both felt that the two had completely ignored them and were immersed in their own world. Even bystanders could feel the sweet aura of the two through the pink bubbles that kept popping up from afar.

At the last step, when Tuanzi snuggled in Kyosuke's arms and put the plate of cookies into the oven, Kyosuke turned Tuanzi around to face him, stared at her and said, "Look, it's done. You have to believe in yourself that you are the best."

Yui's face looked like it was steaming because her hair color was too dark. She looked at Kyosuke and said shyly, "Um...thank you...Kousaka-san."

Yukino felt that if she didn't say anything, the two of them would kiss. She coughed twice, "Ahem, Kousaka-san, I think I need to remind you that although the name of our club is a bit ambiguous, we are a serious club. If you want to do something messy like this, please get out."

Yui finally woke up when Yukino made a noise. She pushed Kyosuke away and said incoherently, "Well...well, Kousaka-san, you are so indecent! I didn't expect you to be such a person!"

Kyosuke took out his glasses from his trouser pocket and put them back on. He looked at Tuanzi's somewhat ashamed face and stretched out his hands to rub her face: "What are you thinking about, girl? Do you always think about such bad things?"

Yui finally broke free from Kyosuke's "ravages", threw herself into Yukino's arms, looked at Kyosuke with tears in her eyes, and said angrily: "It's too much, Kosaka-san is really too much." Then she looked at Yukino with tears in her eyes: "Yukino-chan, Kosaka bullied me, I can't get married. Wuwu~"

I see you were enjoying it just now, weren't you? And not being able to get married is too much. Yukino stroked Tuanzi's head helplessly to comfort her and glared at Kyousuke with a murderous look.

Kyosuke didn't care about this look which was not even one ten-thousandth as lethal as the store manager's. He shrugged and said, "Don't cry. I've taught you once. Now, Yuigahama-san, you can try it yourself."

"Hey?" After hearing what Kyosuke said, Tuanzi hesitated, "Can I?"

"Just follow the steps I taught you just now. You should remember them all."

"Okay, I'll try again."

Yui clenched her fists and made a cheering gesture to cheer herself up.

Is it really okay? Hachiman, who has become a complete passerby, is a little skeptical. What he just did doesn't look like normal teaching, does it?

However, the reality was beyond Hachiman's expectations. Although Yui still encountered some bumps and bruises when she did it completely by herself again, she did not make the same low-level mistake as she did the previous two times when she cracked the eggs and cracked the eggshells into them.

"That's amazing, Kyousuke. How did you do it?" Hachiman looked at Yui's serious expression and admired Kyousuke. "Generally speaking, even if you teach her step by step, there won't be such a big change, right?"

Kyosuke pinched his chin and said proudly, "Well, this is a unique trick." This is the method Tristan taught Kyosuke to learn how to make cocktails during spring break. It uses muscle memory to allow people to learn a skill in a very short time. When Tristan was teaching Kyosuke, he also mentioned to him that in addition to learning skills himself, he could also help others. Tristan himself could also use this to help others learn how to play the harp. Kyosuke tried this technique for the first time today, and it seemed to work well.

However, this method has two disadvantages. One is that the learner must be in a completely relaxed state and leave everything to the educator. This is why Kyosuke had to take off his glasses and use other skills he learned at his job to seduce Yui in order to make her relax and follow his rhythm. If it was Eriri or Kirino, Kyosuke could just let them get into the state directly.

Another disadvantage is that Yui will have to make cookies more often in the future, otherwise she will soon return to the level of making charcoal.

Looking at the somewhat cocky Kyosuke, Yukino couldn't help but snort heavily when she thought of how he had mocked her for not being able to teach anyone. As expected, this guy is really super annoying. You'll just have to be a gigolo for the rest of your life, Kousaka Kyosuke.

Chapter 9 Merlin: The happiest thing in the world is that Kyosuke is in Shura Field while I am watching the show

After 20 minutes, the dessert that Yuigahama Yui made completely by herself and could be considered a cookie was finally out of the oven.

Judging from its appearance, it is at least much more successful than the previous two times. Although it is slightly worse than the two made by Yukino and the two made by Yui that Kyosuke taught him personally, such a work can at least be considered a passing grade in the home economics class.

"Hey, it's done." Yui excitedly held the plate and showed it to the other three people in the home economics classroom, "Here, stay at home. Try it."

Hachiman, who thought he had been completely forgotten, was a little surprised. He didn't expect that after Yui finished, she would give it to him first instead of Yukino or Kyosuke.

"Um..." Hachiman was a little hesitant. Could it be that Yui thought he was easy to bully and asked him to test the poison in advance?

"What are you still hesitating about?" Kyosuke couldn't stand Hachiman's shyness anymore, so he patted him on the back and said, "This is a handmade cookie made by a beautiful girl, why don't you eat it quickly?"

Why don't you eat it? Hachiman didn't say anything but the look he gave Kyousuke expressed this.

Kyosuke didn't say anything like this was originally for you, but instead wanted to tease Hachiman: "After all, this only looks okay, who knows what it tastes like, so I'd like to trouble Hachiman to help identify it. After all, you don't want to see Yukinoshita-san get sick, right?"

So you took it out first? Hachiman looked at Kyousuke's face and said to himself. He looked at Yukinoshita who had been silent since a while ago.

Yukino glanced at Hachiman and said, "It's not gentlemanly to refuse a woman's invitation, Hikigaya."

Yui was a little dissatisfied with Kyosuke's remarks and pouted again: "Woo~ Xiaojing, you are bullying me. I'm sure there will be no problem with what I did this time." After saying that, Yui looked at Hachiman with an expectant look, "Hey, Tunjia, come and try it quickly."

Feeling a little nervous because of the stares from the other three people, Hachiman could only pick up a still hot cookie and put it into his mouth.

The taste was okay, but because the thickness was uneven, some of the edges were a little burnt, not as delicious as the one made by Yukinoshita before. But at least it could be called a cookie instead of charcoal, poison or something else weird.

"Not bad. Although not as good as Yukinoshita's, it's much better than what I make myself." Hachiman said after eating another piece.

Yui's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Really? Thank you, Dunjia. Yukino-chan and Xiaojing should try it too."

"Oh, okay." Xueno also reached out and tasted a piece after hearing it, "Not bad, passed."

"Really? Thank you, Yukino-chan!" Yui threw herself into Yukino's arms and rubbed her head against her chest. Yukino had never had such close contact with other girls, and she seemed very flustered for a moment.

Kyosuke looked at Yukino's apron that was constantly deforming as Yui rubbed against her, and Yui's breasts that became more prominent as Yukino's chest pressed against her. He didn't know why he always felt that Yukino was so pitiful.

As if she had had enough of the fuss in Yukino's arms, Yui stood up and thanked Hachiman: "Of course, I'm also very grateful to the Dunjia."

Hachiman never expected that the other party would thank him. He scratched his face with his index finger a little embarrassedly and said, "Hey, I didn't do anything at all. If I really want to thank you, it should be Yukinoshita and Kyosuke who helped you more, right?"

Yui smiled and shook her head, "From what Xiaojing said before, it seems that the Dunjia intends to make cookies by themselves to build my confidence. The Dunjia also wants to help me in their own way. Thank you very much, Dunjia. If you don't mind, you can take some of the cookies I made last time back."

"May I?"

Yui nodded vigorously, "Yeah. Yukino-chan, bring some too."

Yukino was a little surprised: "Do I have one too?"

Yui seemed to have thought of something and said to Yukino apologetically: "Ah, I'm sorry, what I did is still far worse than what Yukino-chan did, Yukino-chan..."

Yukino knew that Yui had misunderstood, and waved her hands and said, "No, Yuigahama-san. It's just that you don't plan to give this cookie away? If Hikigaya and I take some, won't it be almost all shared?" After saying this, Yukino glanced at Hachiman subtly.

"Yeah. It's okay. I'll make another copy at home when the time comes. With everyone's help, I believe I can complete it independently at home."

Yukino looked at Yui's confident smile and nodded, "Really? Then go for it. Would you like to take some of the portion I made back home?"

"Okay. Thank you, Yukino-chan."

Yukino suddenly thought of something and said to Hachiman, "By the way, Hikigaya-san, you should also bring back some of the cookies I made."

"I have it too?"
