I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

Mashu's glasses flashed and she wrote another name in her notebook.

"I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to actually do that... Interesting. Are you going to officially declare war on me?"

------

Kyosuke sat on the sofa in the living room of the Miura family and kept twisting his butt. Although the sofa in the Miura family was much more advanced than the one in the Takasaka family, Kyosuke felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat on it.

[As expected, not all the things that belong to rich people are the best. This is not as comfortable as the hard bed in my room.]

But in fact, the reason why Kyosuke was restless had nothing to do with the material of the sofa itself, it was entirely because he couldn't calm down.

"a."

"exist!"

Kyousuke was frightened by Rie's voice and stood up immediately.

"You, just relax a little."

Rie shook her head helplessly and placed a stack of fruits on the coffee table in front of Kyosuke.

"Yes Yes."

Kyosuke himself was a little embarrassed by his startled behavior, and he sat down with his head lowered.

Seeing Kyosuke twisting and turning around restlessly as if he was sitting on a red-hot iron plate, Rie's mouth curled up. She did not point out Kyosuke's impoliteness, but rather admired Kyosuke's "performance" with ease, occasionally picking up a piece of apple with a small fork and putting it in her mouth.

After admiring the fruit for seven or eight minutes, Rie felt that it would be a waste if Kyosuke didn't eat the fruit she had peeled, so she said to Kyosuke, "Kyosuke, please be quiet for a moment. Eat the fruit quickly."

"Ok!"

Kyosuke was like a robot that suddenly received an order after being on standby. He quickly picked up the plate and started eating.

Then he choked.

"Cough cough."

Kyosuke covered his mouth and coughed out the fruit pulp stuck in his throat.

"I am so sorry."

"You..." Rie looked at Kyosuke's embarrassed look and felt angry and amused. She moved from the seat opposite Kyosuke to the seat beside Kyosuke and gently patted Kyosuke's back with her hand, "How come you don't have the slick talk you used to have in the store anymore?"

"Um...I'm sorry."

Kyosuke didn't know what to say, he could only respond with a silly smile.

"Kyosuke, why are you so uneasy?"

"I just... didn't expect you to be my classmate's mother... so I don't know how to treat you..."

"Are you so uncomfortable just because I'm Miura's mother? Why do I see that you and Mrs. Yukinoshita get along very well?"

[How do you know?! ]

The hand that Rie had used to pat Kyosuke's back was naturally placed on Kyosuke's shoulder. "Ah, Kyosuke, you want to ask me why I know this, right?"

"Yeah...why..."

"How do I know what you're thinking?"

Kyosuke's expression of being completely guessed made Rie laugh even more happily, "Because Kyosuke's thoughts are so easy to guess, everything is written on his face, just like him."

Kyosuke didn't ask who "he" was, which would be fatal.

"Because I know Mrs. Yukinoshita. After all, everyone in Chiba's circle should know her."

"Are you and Mrs.... Yukinoshita friends?"

Li Hui smiled and tapped Kyosuke's forehead. "You know the Prime Minister, but are you friends with him? I just know him. I was really surprised when I saw her come to such a place for the first time. I didn't expect that Yukinoshita, who can be called a model wife, would have such an interest."

"No, Wen... Mrs. Yukinoshita..."

Kyosuke wanted to refute something, but no matter how he tried to whitewash it, the fact was that Camelot was a gigolo.

"Aha." Kyosuke's two changes of words gave Rie an opportunity to catch him. "It seems that you are very familiar with Mrs. Yukinoshita. You can even call her by her first name."

"..."

Kyosuke didn't dare to say anything else, for fear that he would tell Rie about the fact that he got Fumino pregnant.

"Forget it, I won't ask any more questions. Just treat it as your business secret, Kyousuke."

Fortunately, Rie didn't ask any more questions about Fumino. "Let's get back to the topic at the beginning. Kyousuke, why were you so uneasy just now? Look, you are very calm now~"

"Varied……"

Kyosuke then realized that the posture of him and Rie had unconsciously changed to one of cuddling each other. Rie naturally put her arms around Kyosuke's shoulders and let his head rest on her chest, and Kyosuke really did that.

"I……"

Kyosuke wanted to get up, but Rie once again demonstrated what a strong woman is (physically), and Kyosuke was held in her arms and couldn't move.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

"But, Miura may come out at any time!"

Rie gently patted Kyosuke's shoulder to signal him to relax, "It's okay, I know when Yumiko takes a bath, it's not time for her to come out yet."

"But Miura..."

"Still calling me Miura?" Rie snorted twice, "Shouldn't you just call me Yumiko?"

"I'm not that familiar with her yet..."

Rie interrupted Kyosuke's explanation, "Come on, if we're not familiar with each other, how could my daughter agree to let you stay overnight?"

[Madam, to be honest with you, she was the one who made the first invitation.]

Rie's cheerful look reminded Kyosuke of a gangster boss.

"If you're afraid of my reaction, then don't worry. I agree with your relationship with my daughter, as long as it doesn't affect our relationship."

[Why do you say that as if your daughter is the third party who interfered? ]

"I have nothing to do with you, right?"

Kyosuke felt that it would be bad if he was tricked by this woman. He didn't want to be chased by Mr. Miura with a kitchen knife across ten blocks. This honor should be left to Lancelot.

"Kyosuke, you are so heartless. Aren't we just a trading relationship?"

Rie immediately looked at Kyosuke with tears in her eyes, and her expression changed so quickly that Kyosuke was speechless.

"Don't be so ambiguous, we haven't even reached that stage yet!"

"Come on, don't try to deny your debt. You've already received the money."

[Emm... Do you really want me to bang my head against the wall? ]

Kyousuke quickly waved his hand to deny Rie's suggestion, "Don't come... We really haven't reached that point."

"What? So you are not satisfied with this kind of relationship? Just tell me earlier. I can definitely satisfy you~"

Rie lowered her head as she spoke, and Kyosuke found that his nose was now filled with Rie's unique scent, which made him feel even more uneasy.

Rie was very satisfied with Kyosuke's reaction. She pressed her lips to Kyosuke's ear and whispered, "How about letting me teach you what a real deal is while Yumiko is away?"

All the muscles in Kyosuke's body became stiff. Although he didn't have this intention, some excessive images flashed through his mind from time to time.

"Don't……"

Kyosuke tried almost with all his might to refuse Rie.

"Nothing else..."

Rie smiled very happily. Although Lord Lancelot was indeed perfect, the reaction of the little boy in front of her was much more interesting than Lancelot.

"What I want to say is..."

Kyosuke wanted to push Rie away, but this time Rie took the initiative to let go of Kyosuke, which made Kyosuke, who was caught off guard, use too much force and almost fell to the ground.

"Mom, Kyousuke. What are you doing?"

Before Kyosuke could get nervous, he saw Miura appear at the door of the living room. He was wiping his ears with a bath towel, and his face was flushed, obviously he had just come out of the shower.

"Nothing at all."

Feeling guilty, Kyosuke got up and quickly stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth. Although he couldn't see it, Kyosuke believed that his cheeks must be extremely red, almost as red as Miura's who had just come out of the bath.

"really?"

Miura stared at Kyosuke.

"Your mother cut some fruit for me... mmm... it tastes good."

"Oh~?"

Miura looked at Kyosuke suspiciously.

"Oh really."

Just when Kyosuke couldn't bear it anymore, Rie spoke up, "Mom, I really just cut some fruit for Kyosuke and had a heart-to-heart with him."

Rie put her hands on Kyosuke's shoulders and rested her chin on Kyosuke's head, "Kyosuke told me a lot of interesting things. He is a good boy. You are so lucky, Yumiko."

"Mom, don't play with Kyousuke."

Miura sat down on the sofa helplessly.

[Huh——Looks like I’ve passed this test for now.]

Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

"I'm going to take a shower...Miura, you sit here for a while, the fruit your mother bought tastes good."

Kyosuke hurriedly planned to escape from this place of trouble.

"Kyosuke..." Rie, who came out of the kitchen again with a pile of fruits, reminded Kyosuke: "Don't drink the bath water in the bathtub. Yumiko will be shy."

"I went to take a shower!"

Kyosuke was so frightened by Rie's words that he fell to the ground. He quickly got up and crawled away.

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Miura tapped Rie's shoulders and screamed.

"You're really shy~" Rie handed the fruit to her daughter, "Here, eat some fruit to calm down. I put this in the refrigerator specially."
