I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

"You actually took Merlin's handle apart. Is this what you mean by leaving it to you to deal with?"

Facing Kyosuke's questioning, Gao Wen put his fingers on his cheeks and looked a little embarrassed.

"Who told Merlin to be so excessive? Not only did he set a password, but he also mocked me..."

Kyosuke grabbed Gao Wen's neck with both hands.

"It's useless even if we get the account book! We won't be able to hide it after Mary comes back!"

"It's okay. We can just find an excuse to fool people when the time comes. Anyway, as long as the account book is destroyed, there will be no evidence so it won't matter even if they find out. Maybe others will cover for us. Who knows what they bought from Merlin."

"You two." At this time, Gawain's voice came from the communicator. It should be Lancelot who stayed downstairs dressed as Gawain reminding the two people, "Time is limited, hurry up and get the account book and leave."

Kyosuke then let go of Gawain and looked around Merlin's room.

Merlin's room was large, but apart from a bed and a table in the middle of the room, the entire room was filled with huge cabinets surrounding the walls that extended to the ceiling.

The four walls correspond to four types of cabinets for storing different things.

The east side was full of bookshelves, filled with thick books in various languages. Kyosuke also saw that the words on the spines of many books were in Chinese, one of which was labeled "Yi●Jing Borrowing Reading" and another was labeled "Women●Encyclopedia". For this kind of books, Kyosuke could only say that someone really had a wide range of knowledge.

The cabinet on the west side corresponding to the bookcase is a completely sealed glass cabinet, which contains all kinds of strange medicines. There are labels on the glass bottles storing the medicines, but Kyosuke can't understand what is written on them at all.

The cabinet on the south side was not opened, but Kyosuke guessed that it was filled with clothes based on the fact that they all had only one large sliding door.

The last side... was filled with entertainment equipment. In the middle of all the cabinets was a huge curved-screen TV, and underneath the TV were all kinds of game consoles, from the old N●4 to the latest generation P●4Pro and ●S, and next to the consoles were all kinds of game discs.

The upper right half of the wall is filled with comics and light novels, and below the comics are various books. The reason why Kyosuke knows what these books without words on the spine are is because at least a quarter of the books are masterpieces of himself and Eriri, so Kyosuke can recognize them even if he only sees the spine.

The right half is full of figurines, but except for a few well-known anime character figurines, all the others are the figurines of the store manager, Miss Altria. Some are wearing capes, some are wearing swimsuits, some are riding horses, some are riding motorcycles, and some are wearing high ● driving suits, etc., and there are white, black, blue, with breasts, and without breasts. Judging from the level of detail of the figurines, they should be made by Merlin himself or customized by him. Kyosuke believes that if Mordred sees these figurines, he will definitely be ecstatic.

"What a...rich man."

"Yes, it's all the money that was plundered from us."

Kyosuke also discovered that the curtains around Merlin's bed were newly installed. Looking at the pink feminine decorations on them, he estimated that they were probably installed by Miss Meili after she took over this room.

"Anyway, let's find the account book as soon as possible. Where do you think it will be?"

Gao Wen asked Kyousuke while looking at some cabinets.

"First of all, it shouldn't be in the cabinet with the medicine... Let's start by looking in the bookcase and then in the closet over there if we can't find it."

"Okay, then Kyousuke, you go find the bookcase, I'll come over here."

Kyosuke quickly stopped Gao Wen.

"Wait, you go to the bookcase. I can't understand a lot of the words on it, so you come here. I'm here to look for the game cabinet."

Kyosuke doesn't want Gao Wen to see the book he drew, so he has to do the shameful things himself.

Gao Wen didn't care about the other party's intentions. He could look for the cabinet on either side anyway.

After the two of them split up, Kyosuke pulled out a stack of notebooks from the cabinet and flipped through them one by one to see if the account book was stuck in the notebook.

In a few minutes, Kyosuke looked through all of Merlin's collection of books. He didn't see the account book, but he found that Merlin had bought all the comics in the series "My Sister Can't Be a King" that he and Eriri had collaborated on. After seeing the store manager herself, Kyosuke immediately stopped writing this series of comics and forced the ending. Eriri didn't understand at the time. Why did it end badly when the sales were obviously very good?

"Ah, this comic book." Gao Wen saw Kyousuke's eyes lingering on the cover of the book and revealed a nostalgic look, "It's a very good comic book, but it's a pity that it ended too soon."

"You...you...you've seen it?!"

Gao Wen ignored Kyosuke's expression and said, "Yes, everyone has read it. When this comic book just started to be serialized, Merlin brought everyone a copy as a souvenir when he returned from traveling in this country."

Kyosuke finally knew who the kind-hearted white-haired man Eriri was talking about.

"This is R-rated..."

"Yes, so everyone kept it a secret from the king and Mordred. Let me tell you, Kai was laughed at by everyone for a long time because he was the protagonist of this comic. For a long time, Kai couldn't talk to the king properly, and his face would turn red as soon as he opened his mouth." Gawain recalled what happened that year while searching for the account book on the bookshelf.

"Then the store manager never cared about it?"

"She thought it was strange that we were all reading a comic book, but Merlin tricked her with a set of girls' comics. Later, when we came to Japan, a few people who didn't appear in the comics wanted to ask the author if they could appear in the comics. But Merlin said that the information of the cartoonists was kept confidential."

"Hehe." Kyosuke was sure that Merlin must have known that the comics were drawn by him, otherwise he would not have said such a thing.

Kyosuke put the book back and flipped through the comics again, but still couldn't find it. Then Kyosuke opened all the game boxes and still couldn't find it.

"I've searched everywhere, but I can't find anything. How about you, Gawain?"

Gao Wen put a book back on the shelf and shook his head at Kyousuke.

Kyosuke thought about it, he searched Meili's bed inside and out, even pulling open the sheets to look for it, but still couldn't find it.

While Kyosuke was checking the bed, Gao Wen opened Merlin's desk drawer and saw a lot of small notebooks inside.

"Kyosuke, come and take a look at this!" Gao Wen happily asked Kyosuke to come over.

Kyosuke picked up one of the small notebooks and flipped through it, and found that it was full of Merlin's diary, with the content recorded in a mixture of Chinese, Japanese and ancient Celtic.

“I can’t understand them, but they are all diaries.”

Kyousuke was a little disappointed.

"Something as private as an account book should be placed together with the dates. Let's look for it again."

Gao Wen comforted Kyosuke and took out everything in the drawer.

"What...is this rice?"

Kyosuke saw a piece of silvery-white cloth between the two diaries, and he took it out curiously. Kyosuke found that it was not a piece of cloth but a piece of clothing similar to underwear, the only strange thing was that there was an extra hole in the middle of the two trouser legs.

"Is this underwear? Why does it have four holes?"

"It's probably because of it. I didn't expect Merlin to be so fond of it. Put it back quickly, Kyousuke. It's so embarrassing."

Gao Wen took a quick glance and stopped paying attention.

“Ah! You guys…”

Suddenly Miss Meili's voice came from the door.

"I noticed that the lock on my room door was broken, so I came to check it out."

tear-

Kyosuke was startled by Meili's voice, and his hand shook, tearing the panties in his hand into two pieces.

"Ms. Meili...please listen to our explanation..."

Kyosuke wanted to reach out to explain, but then he remembered what he was holding and hurriedly tried to put it back.

"That...that...clothes!" Merlin covered his mouth with his hands and looked at the two pieces of cloth in Kyosuke's hands.

Clothes? Isn't this panties?

"Is there any problem with this sexy lingerie?"

Gawain didn't quite understand. A caring older sister like Mary didn't look like someone who would wear such revealing clothes.

"Underwear? You think this is underwear?"

"What else? Or what?"

Kyousuke and Takafumi said in unison.

"This is the clothes I made for Fufu-chan. That child is so pitiful, naked all day long, so I specially knitted a piece of clothes for it."

"Is that so... Sister Meili, your cooking skills are really good..."

"This dress is not yet completely finished, but I am already looking forward to the day when Fufu-chan wears it. I want to see Fufu-chan's ecstatic expression. I even gave this dress a name. It's called [Elizabeth MK.1]."

Wait, why is it Elizabeth? Did you also make a red Unit 1?

"Is that so..." Gawain felt that Merlin's emotions were a little off. Was she going to cry?

"Can you two understand? Can you understand what I'm saying? You should be able to understand it. After all, Kyousuke and Gao Wen are both smart and good kids."

"Haaaa...that."

"If you understand, please wait a moment."

After saying that, Mary turned her back to the two of them, quietly walked to the closet, opened the door and began to search for something inside.

"Ms. Meili, we are also very sad about this matter, but please believe that we did not mean it."

"Yes, I will be responsible for mending this underwear...Fufu's clothes."

Ignoring Kyousuke and Gawain's attempts to explain, Meili took out a huge cane from the closet.

"Um... Sister Meili, this is inside the room. It will be troublesome if we use magic." Kyosuke tried to make a final effort.

Mary's eyes glowed a charming red in the darkness, and she slowly pulled out a two-handed knight's sword from her cane.

"I thought this thing would be useless after Lily-chan used a gun... Don't worry, Kyousuke. I use a sword, not magic, so it won't be a problem."

Meili said as she threw her cane aside and held the sword with both hands.

"We must avenge [Elizabeth MK.02]!"

"Sister Meili, calm down!"

Buzz!

The sword began to make a sound similar to that of a cutting machine and continued to shake. As the sound grew louder, it also emitted a golden light.

"Yue●Tianchong!"

Meili murmured, and then jumped towards Kyosuke and Gawain in the form of Shura.

···

Altria was lying on her bed in her cool pajamas, eating potato chips in her mouth, with a comic book titled "●●High School Public Relations Club" spread out in front of her.

"Hmm. What's going on next door?"

Altria frowned as she listened to the horrible screams and noises faintly coming from next door.

It’s become like this, next time just don’t let them come up during working hours.

Altria thought so as she turned another page of the comic.

"I wanted to ask Merlin to borrow this book before, but he refused to give it to me. So, Merlin is the better choice... Hmm? What is this?"

Altria discovered that two pages of the comic were stuck together, and she had to use a lot of force to tear the two pages apart.

"Really? What the hell? Merlin really doesn't take good care of the comics."

The store manager discovered that there was a small booklet between the two pages, which was not visible from the outside when she borrowed it before. She picked up the booklet and flipped through it, and found that it was full of numbers and entries in Chinese and Japanese that she couldn't understand at all.
