I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

"Is your last name Tie?"

Kyosuke's voice was full of helplessness.

"I'm not that kind of person~"

"speak English."

"What do you want from me?"

As if realizing that Kyosuke really had something to talk to him about, Merlin's voice finally returned to normal.

"Do you know a woman named Rie?"

"Rie? Who is that?" Merlin was a little confused by Kyosuke's question, "A customer in the store? You know me, except for Vivian, Lily and Mashu-chan, I'm not very familiar with other women~"

【You are kidding me. 】

Kyosuke would never believe Merlin's nonsense. If he was not familiar with other women, how could this guy move between the major forces as an information dealer?

"Miura Rie, is she the married woman who likes camels?"

"Um... there are too many wives who like Lancelot. Do you want me to take out the book and count them one by one for you?"

"My classmate, Miura Yumiko's mother, do you have any impression of her?"

"...Oh! It's her!"

Merlin seemed to finally remember who Rie was, but Kyosuke always felt that his tone of sudden enlightenment was too exaggerated

"That's a very generous lady, what's wrong?"

If Kyosuke was using a video call, he would see that Merlin's expression at this moment was the same as that of a child who broke his mother's favorite vase and hid it secretly, only to be discovered by his mother - the same fear.

"She's not one of us, right? How did you tell her that Minamoto no Raikou adopted me?"

"She actually... this troublesome woman..."

Kyosuke's words instantly made Merlin feel overwhelmed.

"Merlin?"

"I'm sorry, but she spent an offer I couldn't refuse... and she clearly told me she wouldn't tell anyone."

Merlin's voice dropped.

Kyousuke complained to Meilin, "Why did you tell outsiders about this?"

"(whispering) I can't do anything about it... who dares to reject her..."

"What did you say?"

Merlin's voice was so soft that Kyousuke couldn't hear it clearly.

"I was just talking to myself..."

Kyosuke narrowed his eyes, "Merlin...you..."

"What...what happened?"

Merlin broke out in a cold sweat.

"You're not taking advantage of others, are you?"

"puff--!"

Kyosuke's words made Meilin spit out a spit, "Who would take advantage of that female tyrant? I don't want to die yet."

Merlin's answer made Kyosuke feel like he knew something.

"Then let's leave it at that for now. I think you'd better keep an eye on her. It would be bad if something happened to her. It's only been a few months since the previous incident."

"Don't worry, I will." Merlin's voice seemed to be driving away a puppy, "Just go and do your own thing."

"you really are……"

Kyosuke pinched his eyebrows, and he was more and more sure that there was a story between Rie and Merlin. This was not an emotional issue between a man and a woman, but a private transaction was inevitable, and it was not just a peripheral transaction like photos, it should involve a deeper part.

[Lily is not here recently, so don't alert her. I'll teach you a lesson when Lily comes back.]

Kyosuke made a secret decision.

[Not good, Kyousuke has noticed her. So why does your wife bring up such things for no reason? Women are troublesome creatures indeed.]

Merlin's hand that was not holding the phone was making various movements towards the wall in mid-air, which made Gawain, who was passing by, feel very strange.

[Is Merlin practicing some kind of Qigong? Or is he playing a game of tickling with the girl on the other end of the phone?]

"Then let's do this for now."

After knowing that he couldn't get more information from Merlin, Kyosuke decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to test him. Anyway, when the time came, Lily would use the tiger bench and pepper spray, so there was no need to worry that this liar would not speak.

"Yes, yes. That's it for now. (*＞??)ノBye~"

Having said that, Merlin hung up the phone impatiently before Kyosuke could react.

Toot——

"Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Kyosuke shook his head and prepared to go back to find Rie - he had no real intention of going to the bathroom anyway.

Then, just as Kyosuke was about to step out of the bathroom, he saw someone blocking the bathroom door.

"..."

"…What do you want?"

Kyosuke couldn't help but take a step back when he saw Caligula standing at the door of the bathroom. Kyosuke had only seen the intimidating aura of the man opposite him in Uncle Hai.

However, compared to Hercules, whose physique alone could scare people away, Caligula relied more on his fierce but expressionless face.

"..."

Caligula remained silent as always. He took out a roll of toilet paper and handed it to Kyosuke.

"Um...thank you."

"..."

Kyosuke's thanks made Caligula nod silently, and then he walked away down the corridor without saying a word.

“What’s going on?”⊙?⊙?

Kyosuke looked confused as he held the new roll of toilet paper in his hand.

----------------------

On the other side, after Meilin finished talking to Kyosuke, he immediately called someone's cell phone.

"Hey?"

Rie's rude and angry voice came through the receiver.

"What the hell are you talking about with Kyosuke? You don't want to live, but I do!"

Merlin didn't have any fancy opening remarks, he just went straight to scolding Rie.

However, Lihui didn't buy into Merlin's tricks and started to scold Merlin directly: "Although I made a slip of the tongue and it was my fault, but aren't you being too presumptuous? Who gave you the courage to be so arrogant with me?"

Gawain, who was hiding behind Merlin, originally thought that Merlin would fight back very forcefully, but he didn't expect that Merlin would actually speak from the heart, "Sorry, auntie. It's my attitude that's wrong."

"puff--"

Gawain burst into tears as he looked at Merlin, who was bowing and apologizing humbly.

[Is this the sun rising from the west or is this the Pacific Ocean? Is this still the Merlin I know? 】Σ( °△°|||)︴

PS: I feel like my wrist is going to break after writing two exams in a row. There is only one question on each test paper. Teacher, you are murdering me! _( ?Д?)ノ

Chapter 76: Aguiwen: The secret that everyone knows is not a secret anymore

[There is a story, definitely there is a story! ]

Gawain's eyes almost turned into a gossip array, he found that he seemed to have caught a very powerful handle on Merlin. He had always been bullied by Merlin, but finally he saw the day when he could turn things around.

[Should I tell Wang directly? Wait, the so-called blackmail means that I can only get the most benefit if both myself and the other party know about it. If that's the case, it would be a big loss to go directly to Wang to expose it, or else...]

"Gawain, what are you doing here?"

Just when Gawain was thinking about how to maximize the efficiency of this secret, Merlin had already ended the call with the woman on the other end of the phone and was looking at Gawain with a very "innocent" look.

"Nothing happened."

Gawain's expression froze. Although he knew that Merlin might not believe it even if he denied it, at this moment he could only slip away as quickly as possible.

"Don't say that. Tell me what you heard just now."

Unfortunately, Merlin was quicker than Gawain and blocked Gawain's path.

"Uh...Merlin. What are you doing? How can you doubt your brother? I really didn't hear anything..."

Gawain spread his hands and refused to admit it, because he had seen that Merlin's right hand was emitting a magic that frightened even a guy like him who was [Magic Resistance: B].

Merlin rolled his eyes and came up with an idea, "Isn't it rare for me to be so humble?"

"Really? This is the first time I've seen you being so cowardly towards someone other than the king..."

"Hum~"

Merlin laughed evilly, "Gawain, you said you didn't eavesdrop!"

Gawain realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and immediately changed his expression. He clenched his fists and punched Merlin directly, "You must be joking. How could I be caught here by you!"

If I were caught here and Merlin used magic to tamper with me, I would probably forget that I had Merlin's leverage over me. Only by breaking through here and returning to record it in a special way would I not lose the initiative because of Merlin's trick.

"How dare you attack me! Believe it or not, I will beat you to death! You are still in the observation period, and you dare to be so arrogant!"

Seeing Gawain trying to attack, Merlin immediately said that his title of "British Sword Master" was not blown by the wind. He pulled out a wooden sword from somewhere (for some reason, the style of the wooden sword was not a Western knight's sword but more like a peach wood sword used by Taoist priests in the Celestial Empire to exorcise ghosts) and chopped at Gawain's head.

Gawain covered the bump on his head, "Ouch! Merlin actually dared to use a weapon! Foul!"

"There's no reaction. Did I buy a fake? Or do I need to apply talisman paper first? Master Li, that guy, didn't even give me an instruction manual when he brought me some local products." Merlin looked at the peach wood sword in his hand curiously.

"What is your thing?"
