I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

Artoria ignored the wailing Gawain who was being dragged away by Gareth and looked at Lancelot.

"Mashu-chan doesn't want me anymore...Mashu-chan doesn't want me anymore..."

"Let's skip this one and wait until he wakes up. Next one." The store manager obviously had no interest in Lancelot who had lost his mind. She turned her attention to the last person - Kyosuke.

"Xiao Jingjie, can you tell me what you bought from Meilin? What made you so anxious to take the account book away?"

Kyosuke didn't say anything, he knew he couldn't escape death.

"Don't be so nervous. I just want to know what Kyosuke's hobbies are." Altria carefully arranged Kyosuke's clothes while whispering in Kyosuke's ear in a seductive tone, "I just want to know your fetish, Kyosuke."

Jing couldn't stand the manager's teasing any more, so he could only say: "Manager, your private photos and your swimsuit photos from last summer. And..."

Kyosuke glanced at Mashu and Mordred, then said resignedly, "There are also some private photos of Mashu..."

"What! Senior, you...actually!"

After hearing what Kyosuke said, Mashu shyly covered her face and ran away with Fufu.

"I see..." The store manager stood up, "Although I'm a little upset that you didn't just buy my photos, Kyousuke. But since you've honestly confessed, I won't say anything more."

Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the store manager said. He didn't expect to pass so easily.

But the store manager wasn't done yet. She took out her cell phone and started making a call.

"Although I've finished my part, I still need to find someone to give little Kyosuke a good lecture. Otherwise, little Kyosuke won't learn his lesson at all."

Kyosuke didn't understand. Who was the store manager looking for? He didn't think she would look for Daisuke or Kanono, because the store manager had never looked at them straight in the eye. It couldn't be the grandparents in the countryside, because the store manager didn't even know her.

What Xiaojing said was also impossible because the manager would not let the teachers at school know that she was working in a bar.

So who should the store manager call?

The call was connected after two beeps, and Altria said directly to the other end of the receiver: "It's me, I'm done here. I'll leave it to you from now on."

After saying that, she handed the phone to Kyousuke without waiting for a reply from the other party.

Kyosuke took the phone and put it to his ear, and a voice he had never expected came out of the receiver.

"Kyosuke, I heard you did a lot of things behind my back."

Fumino's voice sounded in Kyosuke's ears like the Asura from hell.

PS: I have something to do tomorrow so there will probably be only one chapter of 2k update or no update. I'd like to say hello to everyone here first. Anyway, I have one leave note every month, it would be a pity if I don't use it. ┓( ??` )┏

Chapter 10: Yukino: I won’t cosplay my own mother even if I pay for it myself

Xueno looked at Kyosuke who was beside her yesterday. She was a little surprised why he was so gloomy and silent today. Yesterday, he tried to talk to her in order to complete the task given by his mother, but she always pushed him back. But why didn't he say a word today? Did he give up?

"What's wrong with you today? Why don't you say a word?"

Although she didn't want to pay any attention to the other person, out of curiosity about someone's abnormal behavior, Yukino still asked her doubts.

Kyosuke didn't say anything, just glanced at Yukino and sighed.

"What...what are you doing? Why do you look at me with such pity?"

Yukino felt that there was a sense of sympathy in Kyosuke's eyes when he looked at her, which made her very uncomfortable.

"No. It's just... I kind of understand how you feel."

"what?"

Kyosuke ignored Yukino's surprise and just looked outside the car. Last night, Fumino's scolding was really terrible. Kyosuke kneeled on the washboard and listened to it unconsciously. After hanging up the phone, Kyosuke lay on the floor - his legs had completely lost consciousness because he knelt for too long.

On the way home, Kyosuke relied on Mashu's support for a long distance before he could walk on his own.

Kyosuke finally understood why Yukino both respected and feared Fumino. In the past, Fumino had only shown two types of attitudes in front of him: gentle and lovely, or elegant and dignified. This time, Kyosuke finally saw what a real evil spirit was.

Now Kyosuke only has deep sympathy for Yukino. It is no wonder that Yukino has such a rebellious character growing up under such a strong parent like Fumino.

"Please put away that disgusting expression of yours, Kousaka-san. Just tell me what you want to say."

Fumino couldn't help herself when Kyosuke gave her a pitying look for the sixth time.

"I'm sorry. It's just that after your mother got mad at me yesterday, I feel like I can understand your feelings now."

"Did you two have a fight?" Now Yukino became interested.

"It wasn't really a quarrel, I just got scolded for doing something wrong."

"My mother is very scary. When she's angry, she speaks the same way as Prajna."

Finally, someone could understand her feelings when facing her mother. Xueno found this experience magical. She couldn't wait to share her dilemma when facing her mother with Kyousuke.

"Yeah." Kyosuke nodded in agreement. He found himself agreeing with Yukino's point of view, which was rare. "Fumino is really scary when she's angry."

The two people who found common ground had a pleasant chat during the rest of the journey.

Seeing the two people chatting happily, Mashu thought for a long time but still did not point out that it was impolite to talk about others behind their backs.

Seeing these two people getting along happily, Miss Fumino should be very happy, after all, this was her original intention. In this case, she might even forgive the two people's slight impoliteness.

With this thought in mind, Mashu listened to the discussion between Kyosuke and Yukino about what was the most terrifying thing about Fumino.

···

"So Rio-chan, did you bring the stuff?"

During today's club activity time, Ayase Rio came to the Service Club again.

Li Xu timidly placed a registration form and a small competition brochure in his arms on the table.

"Let me see." Yui picked up the brochure and flipped through the registration information. "The requirement is that each team must have at least 5 people to participate. The participating team must choose a work to register for, and each team member must COS a character in the work. The reward for registering for the competition... The first prize is actually yuan!"

"If 5 people is the minimum, then we only need 4 more people besides Rio-chan." In Yui's opinion, this is a piece of cake.

"It's really good. At least this reward is very attractive for a cosplay competition." For a moment, Hachiman himself was tempted, but he immediately calmed down, "But it's hard for us half-baked participants to beat those professional players."

"Indeed, those professional COS players put a lot of effort into their costumes and props. Although the prize money for this competition is not too high, it can still attract a group of good contestants. People like us are indeed a long way behind." Kyosuke didn't think that his group could win first place. At least, the money these poor guys wanted to spend on COS costumes could not compare with those professionals.

"So, Rio-chan. What is your goal?"

Yukino believed that the child in front of her should have her own goals, otherwise she would definitely not seek help from a few strange clubs that she didn't know at all and only relied on her brother's words.

Rio didn't say anything. She took the brochure from Yui, turned to one of the pages and showed it to everyone.

"Meruru venue official edition figure?" Yui read out a small line of words underneath a picture of a magical girl figure wearing exaggerated clothing on the brochure to which Rio was pointing.

Kyosuke found out that this was only the third prize, and although the figure itself was not valuable, it was a venue-only edition that was specially customized for this competition, with only 3 of them. Kyosuke believed that this figure would have a high collection value among the circle of enthusiasts.

"There are 5 third prizes and 3 second prizes. Including the first prize, we only need to get into the top 8. This doesn't seem too difficult." Yui said, pointing her finger.

"It should be the top nine. Yuigahama, don't you even know how to count the fingers on your hand?"

Yukino ruthlessly responded to Yui's words.

“Well...anyway, we have pretty girls like Yukino-chan and Mashu-chan here so there will be no problem.” Yui simply ignored Yukino’s accusation.

"Anyway, let's decide on the theme first. Rio, have you thought about what work you're going to cosplay?" Kyosuke just hoped that the work the other party was preparing to cosplay would not be science fiction or magic. After all, the cost of cosplay props and costumes would increase with the fantasy level of the work.

Li Xu didn't say anything, but took out another book from his arms - "Looking Up at the Starry Sky at Midnight".

"Uh..." Yukino was caught off guard by Rio's move, "Riori-chan, don't you have any other works you want to cosplay?"

Xueno swore that if the child in front of her had other choices, she would help her realize it even if she had to pay for the costumes and props, as long as the child gave up this work.

Unfortunately, Rio didn't think about Yukino's good intentions at all. She shook her head and continued to look at Yukino with expectant eyes.

"Well..."

This look was extremely offensive. Yukino couldn't stand Rio's eager gaze and moved her chair back.

Yui didn't care about Yukino's embarrassment at all. Instead, she became more interested in the matter.

"Isn't this Kasumigaoka-senpai's novel? Leave this to us." Yui patted her chest proudly and said, "Riori-chan, you know what? We know the author of this novel. We can ask her for help when the time comes."

"It's amazing, it's amazing."

Although Rio didn't say anything, her sparkling eyes and excited expression revealed this.

Yui was very satisfied with Rio's expression, and she looked extremely proud at this moment.

Hachiman didn't understand why Yukinoshita was so resistant, but he was relieved when Rio chose this novel. On the one hand, as a daily life work, it wouldn't have exaggerated costumes, so even if he had to go on stage, it wouldn't be too embarrassing. On the other hand, the cost of the costumes would be reduced a lot. Although everyone in the service club agreed to help Rio, it would be troublesome if the cost of the costumes was too high.

"Kyosuke, what's wrong with you?" Hachiman found that Kyosuke had not spoken since Rio took out the novel just now, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Kyosuke raised his head after hearing Hachiman's question, but he didn't look at Hachiman but at Yukino.

"Um, snow..."

Yukino guessed what Kyosuke wanted to say at a glance, and she made a cross gesture with her hands in front of her chest.

"No, I don't agree."

"I haven't said what it is yet..."

"Absolutely not, don't even think about it!" Yukino even stood up excitedly and refused righteously.

"I clearly..."

Yukino didn't let Kyosuke finish his words. She interrupted him loudly: "In short, it's not possible!"

PS1: It is really hard to find a picture of Yukino wearing a kimono with charm. Although this is a bit forced, it is the picture that Mi-chan can find that best suits her ideas.

PS2: I mentioned this yesterday. This is the only chapter today. You don’t have to wait for the rest.

Come to think of it, the daily updates will be just this small after March... Just get used to it... (Looking up at the sky)

Chapter 11 Yukino: The Kimono is So Beautiful

"Really? Why didn't you tell me about this interesting activity earlier?"

Shiyu was standing in the corridor chatting with Kyosuke. After deciding to use "Look Up" as the cosplay entry, Yui immediately called Shiyu. Shiyu immediately said that this was a good opportunity to promote her work, and then she said that she would take care of everyone's COS costumes. Then during the club activity the next day, Shiyu came to the service club with related things.
