I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

This is also the main reason why Mashu agreed so readily, but Kyosuke felt that Mashu seemed to have forgotten something.

[This gesture seems to be a secret signal from the customer to ask the hostess whether she is engaged in the sex trade? Will I be selling my skills and body at the same time? ]

With such a depressed mood due to the uncertain future, Kyosuke took Rie and left Class F.

——————The dividing line for visiting the campus is L('ω')┘三└('ω')」——————————

"Sister Rie, do you want to go somewhere? How about the snacks in the courtyard?"

As Kyosuke had brought women around countless times in the past two days, he was already very familiar with the stalls in the courtyard. Anyway, he brought enough women, and Rie's rumor was not a big deal, so Kyosuke simply suggested going there first.

"I don't care, but I'm not hungry yet, let's just walk around." Rie didn't have much interest in eating, and she didn't show any intention of getting too close to Kyosuke while walking on the road. She took Kyosuke and walked aimlessly on the campus, but her eyes were fixed on Kyosuke's every move, as if analyzing his inner thoughts at all times.

After a while, Rie said meaningfully, "Mashu-chan is so cute. I want to take her home with me."

"Is that so... But, San... Isn't Yumiko also a good kid?"

Under Rie's displeased gaze, Kyosuke immediately changed the way he addressed Miura.

"No, I've already spoiled that child. In comparison, Lord Lancelot is better at educating children~"

"Forehead……"

Kyosuke thought about Lancelot's education method - obeying Mashu's every command, protecting Mashu to the utmost, and collecting all kinds of Mashu's peripherals, which was the standard way of education for a demon father.

"Maybe. He dotes on Mashu, too."

Kyosuke felt a knot at the corner of his mouth when he said this. The camel's love for Mashu was no longer something that could be described as "favor". Compared with Haragad who was exiled to the frontier to guard Britain, Kyosuke had the illusion that Haragad was the one who was adopted.

[From this perspective, it is understandable that Galahad has always had a bad attitude towards Lancelot. ]

When he thought about the situation in his own family where girls were more favored, Kyosuke suddenly felt that he could understand the silver knight.

Rie didn't notice Kyosuke's weird expression, "But Mashu isn't spoiled. Compared to my Yumiko's queen-like temper, the difference is really huge."

"hehe."

Kyosuke recalled the treatment Lancelot had suffered from Mashu - being beaten with Mashu's fists, being beaten with Mashu's scabbard, being beaten with Mashu's dining table, and being beaten with Mashu's city wall.

"I think it's not easy for Lancelot either."

"Yeah, it's always inconvenient for a single dad to take care of a daughter."

Rie felt as if she had found a confidant.

"Or... maybe."

[It’s not just inconvenient, if it wasn’t a heroic spirit, then the camel would have died ten thousand times. ]

"So, Kyousuke thinks so too."

Rie nodded, and she seemed very happy that Kyosuke had the same idea as her.

"In that case, Kyousuke, do you think Mashu also needs a mother? No matter how outstanding Lord Lancelot is, he is only a single father, right? If she had a mother, she would be happy, right?"

"so?"

Kyosuke felt something was wrong. He discovered that Rie seemed to be guiding the topic intentionally or unintentionally.

Rie still had the same gentle smile on her face as usual, but Kyosuke sensed a hint of ulterior motive, "Look, how about letting me adopt Mashu? That way Mashu will have a mother, right?"

PS1: Two chapters are done. It seems like I haven't divided chapters for a long time. I shouldn't stop updating tomorrow. I'll see if I'm in good shape after the exams tonight. If I can't handle it, I'll take a leave. _(:з」∠)_

PS2: By the way, I want to complain about those guys on the list in the latest event. Usually, they all say they are just talking about themselves, but now all their saved drafts have been revealed! Especially the guy who ranked first, his 10-word update was hidden deep enough. [○?｀Д?? ○]

Chapter 75 Nero: Uncle sends paper, mission accomplished

Kyosuke tilted his head and frowned at Rie. He felt like there was something wrong with his hearing. "I'm sorry, did I hear it wrong?"

"No, I believe you didn't." There was no change on Lihui's face. She looked calm as if she was saying that the weather was great today. "I want to adopt Mashu-chan. I want to be her mother."

"Wait a moment." Kyosuke raised his hand to signal Rie not to speak, "Let me think about it."

"what would you like?"

Rie didn’t quite understand Kyosuke’s thoughts. Was what she was saying so difficult to understand?

"I need some quiet time. I just feel a little too surprised. I should..." Kyosuke was a little incoherent. "Okay, sort out your thoughts. Do you like Mashu?"

"Yes."

Rie nodded.

"You think she's very cute, like an angel descended to earth. Even a hundred times cuter than Yumiko?"

"I didn't say that." Rie shook her head. "Yumiko knows she'll cry if you say that."

"That's not the point." Kyosuke was a little excited, "What I want to say is that you think Mashu is cute and want to adopt her?"

"Yes."

Rie confirmed Kyousuke's statement with an affirmative expression.

"why?"

Rie thought Kyousuke's question was a bit broad, "Why?"

"Why do you think Mashu is cute and want to adopt her? Why did Mashu make you think of this? Or to be frank, why Mashu?"

Kyosuke looked at the expression on Rie's face and was a little confused. He never thought that Rie was the kind of person who acted on emotion. Who would want to adopt a high school student less than 24 hours after knowing him - except for perverts and those with ulterior motives.

"I like that kid, isn't that enough?"

Kyosuke rolled his eyes and said, "Do you have to adopt if you like someone? What's wrong with you guys? Why do you always adopt children?"

"you?"

"It's not important. What's important is that you don't understand Mashu at all..."

Lihui seemed satisfied and cared, "That child is so beautiful and well dressed. She is just a cute and innocent little girl. Although she has a bit of a violent talent occasionally, I believe we will get along well."

"I don't deny that." Kyosuke was obviously deeply touched by Mashu's violence. "What I mean is that there are many ways to relate to and like that child. It doesn't have to be this way."

"for example?"

"For example..." Kyosuke suddenly paused. Under Rie's questioning gaze, he finally said, "Buy her a Christmas present?"

Rie's smile disappeared, "You really are stupid."

"..."

Kyosuke himself felt that his answer was very stupid.

"Then let me ask you this, why don't you want me to adopt Mashu?"

"Then why are you telling me about this again?"

Kyosuke was also confused. Logically, Rie should have gone to Mashu herself or her guardian Lancelot, or at least to Lily. Why did she go to him to talk about this?

Rie smiled and gently slid her fingers along Kyosuke's collar, "Because I think Mashu will respect your opinion. If you agree, it will be half the battle."

"Come on this."

"Well, let's talk about the benefits of me adopting Mashu." Rihui counted on his fingers, "First, Mashu can get maternal love; second, Yumiko can have a companion; and our family and you can be closer."

"As for the disadvantages, the only one is that she can't live in Camelot in the future." Seeing that Kyosuke wanted to speak, Rie quickly continued and interrupted him deliberately.

[Are you sure this is a disadvantage? ]

"I think it's best to talk to Lancelot first, and Matthew should also tell her about your decision, right?"

Kyosuke decided to use the delaying method. Lancelot was dragged out by Lily and paraded around Japan. After returning, he was also under house arrest in Camelot. This could probably delay for quite a while. Of course, if Mashu herself did not object, Kyosuke felt that he did not need to be a villain.

"What's the matter? As long as you agree, Kyousuke, there won't be any problem with Mashu." Rie didn't care about Kyousuke's concern. "As for Lord Lancelot, there won't be any problem at all. I don't think he would mind letting a girl take good care of Mashu."

"I think it's necessary to let him know. Although he doesn't hold much of a place in Mashu's heart, he is still her guardian after all. Wouldn't it be too inhumane to completely ignore him?"

"Your parents didn't know when you were adopted by Minamoto no Raikou, right? Does it make any difference?"

"This is totally different, isn't it?" Kyosuke just complained and then found the problem, "Wait a minute, how do you know this?"

Rie covered her mouth in panic, realizing that she had said something wrong.

"Well..." Rie's eyes moved around, and after a moment she thought of a plausible excuse, "Merlin-san told me. When I asked him about you, Kyousuke, he accidentally told me that a woman named Minamoto no Raikou had adopted you as her own son. I was wondering why you didn't care about me, but it turns out that a rich woman had already taken you in~"

"Is that so?"

[If that's the case, it's impossible for her to sweat so much. It looks like Rihui must be hiding something from me. ]

Kyosuke muttered to himself. On the surface, he seemed to have accepted Rie's explanation, but his heart was not at peace at all, which was clearly seen from his shaking right hand. However, Rie was also in a state of anxiety due to this unexpected situation and did not notice the abnormality of Kyosuke's right hand.

After that, the two people, each with their own agenda, walked aimlessly for a while, seemingly admiring the greenery of Sobu High School, and the content of their conversation was only related to this. The two of them tacitly did not talk about Mashu or anything related to Minamoto no Raikou, at most occasionally mentioning Yumiko. However, the two of them were constantly playing tricks in their conversations to test each other's information, as if they were trying to get some more important information.

Kyosuke obviously suffered a great loss in this regard. Compared with the experienced Rie, Kyosuke was really a bit of a rookie. Rie easily learned a lot about [Camelot]. Fortunately, Kyosuke was careful and kept some private matters secret, but even so, he gradually felt overwhelmed.

In the end, it was obviously Kyosuke who finally lost his temper first. He gave Rie an apologetic look and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. Please wait for me for a moment."

"Okay... Kyousuke go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Although Rie had the upper hand in the previous fight, she also felt a little mentally exhausted. She needed a break and immediately agreed to Kyosuke's request.

"call--"

After Kyosuke walked into the bathroom, he took out his cell phone and made a call, "Please, answer the phone quickly..."

"Hello~ Kyousuke-chan?"

Fortunately, Kyosuke didn't have to wait long before Merlin's voice appeared on the other end of the line.

"Ha you big head ghost!"

Merlin's slow tone made the already anxious Kyosuke go berserk.

"What's wrong? Are you so angry? Did Mashu-chan make you angry again? I told you, that girl is only suitable to be a junior or a maid. If you really marry her, you will suffer..."

Merlin started talking like a machine gun, but it was a pity that Kyosuke had no time to chat with him.

"It has nothing to do with Mashu."

"Ah, ah." Merlin's teasing tone remained unchanged. "When I liked her before, I called her Mashu-chan. Now that I've gone too far and discovered her shortcomings, I've changed my name to Mashu~"

"Merlin..."

"what?"
