I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table

"Earplugs."

"Of course I can tell it's an earplug, but why do I have to wear it?"

Kyosuke was stunned when he heard this. He asked with a strange expression: "You haven't heard Nero and Elizabeth sing before?"

"No. The two seniors always say that there are too few people and they have no desire to perform. The idol stage is where they can show their abilities. But the two seniors have such cute voices, so their singing won't be too bad."

Indeed, the voices of these two are very cute. Especially Her Majesty Nero, her screams when she is happy... ahem. But unfortunately, no matter how cute the voices are, they cannot hide the fact that these two are music idiots. And Nero can only be said to be tone-deaf at best. If listening to her singing is just mental torture, then Miss Elizabeth's singing is simply fatal.

Not to mention that she would unconsciously use the Dragon Roar in the high notes, more importantly, Miss Dragon also likes to use the prison city sound system to add to the effect. This can no longer be said to be mental and physical torture, it can be said to be a sonic cannon.

"No wonder... But there's no time to explain. Just put it on quickly. Remember to put the small end inwards."

Kyosuke didn't have time to explain the terrible singing voices of the two, he just briefly explained how to wear the earplugs to prevent Kirino from making mistakes.

"I'm your brother, how could I harm you? You'll soon realize the destructive power of those two's singing."

Seeing Kirino's distrustful look, Kyosuke hurriedly urged again.

"Humph, you sound like you know them very well. I'm warning you, don't attack Senior Nero and Senior Elizabeth!"

Kirino reluctantly put the earplugs in, then pointed her finger at Kyousuke's nose and warned him solemnly.

My dear sister, it's too late for you to say anything now. Your brother has been completely eaten up by that Majesty.

Before Kirino went on stage, Kyosuke checked one last time to make sure that Kirino had put on her earplugs before letting his sister go on stage.

"Go ahead and show everyone the charm of the eldest lady of the Takasaka family."

"Humph, do you even need to tell me that?" Before leaving, Kirino turned around and glared at Kyosuke again: "When we perform later, Ayase will probably be with you guys, and you are not allowed to attack her, understand!"

Ayase, who had been standing far away, walked over to Kyosuke after Kirino left and asked him, "Brother Kyosuke, did you say anything to Kirino just now? She seemed unhappy."

"She's always been like this. I'm used to it."

Kyosuke took Ayase to the service club's rest area, where Masashi was distributing earplugs to everyone in the service club.

Thanks to the store manager, after knowing that Nero would appear, she specially asked Gawain to bring a large bag of earplugs. This allowed Kyosuke to give a set to everyone he knew, so that no one of his own would fall into the hands of the two sonic monsters.

"Mashu, is this really necessary?"

Following Mash's instructions, Yukino put earplugs on Rio-chan, but she still seemed a little hesitant. Even if those two guys sang badly, there was no need to do this, right?

"Believe me, you'll find out soon that this is not an exaggeration." Kyosuke took a set of earplugs from the bag of earplugs that Mashu was holding and handed them to Ayase.

"But these earplugs seem to be completely useless after I put them on. I can still hear your voice very clearly, Xiaojing."

"--(nod)"

"This." Kyosuke put on the earplugs and explained to Yui and the others, "This is specially made for those two, so it won't affect normal communication. You'll know when they start singing later."

"Brother Kyousuke, isn't this rude?"

Ayase hesitated holding the earplugs in her hand. As a well-educated girl, she felt that doing this would be a bit hurtful.

"Anyway, no one outside can tell whether you have anything on your ears. Besides, those two guys won't pay attention to the reactions of people around them when they're high. Anyway, your own life is more important."

"Brother Kyousuke, you are exaggerating."

Ayase smiled bitterly and put the earplugs into her ears. Although she thought it was rude, it was necessary for Kirino's brother to ask for it repeatedly. She had heard that a high-pitched singer had broken glass, so she guessed that the earplugs were to protect her ears from being hurt by the high pitch.

"Come on, everyone take one set and put it on like this."

Kyosuke distributed the earplugs in his hands to the loli group who were sharing snacks nearby.

Little Jack took the earphones and looked around curiously, asking Kyosuke, "What about mom? Are grandpa and the other seniors okay? And Alexander's mom hasn't been seen yet."

"Don't worry about them, your grandfather can handle it himself. As for the Macedonian boss, who cares if he lives or dies. If he faints, just let his concubine drag him back." Kyosuke shrugged and didn't care about those guys at all. Although it might be a bit unfair to the Curse Wrist who was loyal to him, he was not their babysitter anyway. Let them handle their own affairs.

Anyway, those people all knew how destructive the singing of the two people on the stage was, so they should have taken precautions.

the other side...

"My Lord, is this really okay?"

Curse Wrist looked at the packing tape in his hand and felt a little frustrated. What use is this thing? If this thing is useful, why do you use the earplugs you got from Miss Meili? ?

"Because we don't have enough earplugs, please bear with it for a while, Curse Wrist."

The old man's eyes were emitting blue flames and I didn't know what he was thinking.

If it's not enough, you gave one to each of the clones of Baimao? Curse Arm felt that he was raised by a stepmother. It was fine that he couldn't compare with Master Kyousuke and Little Jack in the eyes of Master Shodai, but now even the two juniors, Baimao and Jingmi, were riding on his head.

"Give it up, Curse-Wrist." The short Hassan at the side patted Curse-Wrist's thigh (he couldn't reach his shoulder) and whispered to comfort him, "Don't you see it yet? The First Generation is punishing us for not agreeing to perform with him the first time. Look, didn't Baimao and Jingshi, who agreed to the First Generation's proposal at the first time, each get one?"

Curse Arm opened his mouth to say something, but the old man turned his head to face him, his eyes glowing red. Facing the majestic First Generation, Curse Arm could only retreat.

Do you want to listen to the song or want me to take your head?

Although the first generation did not say anything, he understood very well what the other party meant.

"let's work hard together."

The dwarf Hassan also resigned himself to his fate and patted Curse Wrist's thigh again to encourage him.

The atmosphere in the audience at this time reached its peak today because of the appearance of the model girls. For these otakus and otaku girls, although there were many surprises in today's competition team, the beautiful girls who appeared now were their greatest pursuit and the purpose of their trip today.

Let alone the muscle brother and masked monster team that appeared earlier, although there was a graceful lady who appeared later, she never faced the audience from beginning to end, and was focused on fighting with the man with blue hair and long ponytail. The kimono beauty and lolita combination that came later did leave a deep impression on everyone, but they were far from the Cosplay beauty that everyone dreams of.

The beautiful girls that appear now are what everyone is pursuing!

"Hmm... so noisy. Mary, can't your earplugs block out the voices of ordinary people as well?" Lancelot complained to Mary while fiddling with the DV in his hand.

Hearing Lancelot's words, Meili said unhappily: "Can't you go home and get this thing? Aren't you making yourself uncomfortable by doing this kind of thing in a place like this?"

Ever since the last account book incident, her attitude towards Gawain and Lancelot has been bad. It is too much for two grown men to sneak into a lady's room!

Well, Miss Meili selectively forgot that it was Kyosuke who took the lead that time.

"Those two Sonicmon are not as important as Mashu-chan. I need to quickly edit Mashu-chan's video and play it at the party later so that everyone can appreciate my Mashu-chan."

Lancelot responded without even looking up. He was currently using a DV to cut the video of a previous service ministry program.

"Sir Lancelot, please help me edit a video of little Kyosuke later." The store manager who was reading a book nearby said this after hearing what Lancelot said.

"Uh." Lancelot stopped. The footage he shot was all of Mashu's main shots. Kyosuke only appeared once or twice because they were acquaintances, and other people, such as Yukino, didn't even have their faces. How could this footage be edited into a video?

"Is there any problem?" When Altria saw that Lancelot didn't answer, she looked up and asked, "You didn't just take a picture of Mashu-chan and not Kyosuke-chan, did you?"

"No... No, I'm just wondering why you, my king, want this video. Isn't the heroine this time the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family?"

If he admitted it at this time, he would be dead. No matter how stupid Lancelot was, he knew this.

"It's okay, just let Meili help me put me in. I took a selfie wearing the exact same kimono."

"Okay... okay."

Comrade Meili, please give your brother a hand for the sake of the Party and the country!

Seeing Lancelot's pleading eyes, Mellie snorted in dissatisfaction. However, she was kind-hearted and did not add insult to injury. She made a ? gesture to him.

However, Mellie was still a little unhappy and thought that Lancelot should be taught a lesson. So she took advantage of Lancelot's carelessness while he was still fiddling with the machine and secretly removed the magic on his earplugs.

"thanks for your support!"

After posing on the stage, Elizabeth swung her tail and showed a sweet smile to all the audience.

"Next...do you want to hear us sing?"

""think!!""

The stupid audience had no idea what kind of Pandora's box they had opened.

"Ah, this is what I've been waiting for." Enkidu secretly handed the earplugs to Yang Noi and said happily, "This is part of my human observation record. How long can ordinary people last under the singing of the two masters."

"So you came here to be a judge in such a small competition just for this?" Yang Nai didn't quite understand what this rich man was thinking, but she was able to read his expressions and didn't refuse, so she took the earplugs and put them in her ears.

Yang No knew that the current Yukinoshita family could not do without the support of this big money owner. Although the other party never asked for the return of the Yukinoshita family, nor did he instruct the Yukinoshita family to do anything. But it was precisely because of this that Yang No followed the other party's footsteps more closely. After all, there were too few such rich people with a lot of money.

Originally, she would never come to such a small competition even if her sister was participating. But when Enkidu invited her, she agreed without hesitation. Anyway, her original plan for the weekend was to accompany clients, and it didn't matter which client she accompanied. Since the biggest client invited her, of course she had to stick to him.

What's more, this person would definitely not look at him strangely like the others, and there was also his dearest sister to tease. Even a fool would know which one he should choose.

"That's part of the reason. But I also really like this kind of activity. By the way, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to a party."

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

After getting Yang No's consent, Enkidu stopped talking. He supported his chin with both hands and looked at the "magical girls" on the stage with expectant eyes.

"Hahaha!" Nero laughed loudly after hearing the audience's enthusiastic calls. "Common people! Witness my talent! Give me thunderous applause! And then praise me, the flower of Olympus! [Aestus Domus Aurea (The Golden Theater of Prosperity)]!"

Then the entire stage... no, the entire venue was covered in golden flames. When everyone reacted, they were now in the audience seats of an arena that looked like the ancient Roman Colosseum.

"It's begun..."

Kyousuke didn't pay attention to the panicked expressions on the faces of the other members of the Service Club. Instead, he calmly covered his head with his hands and said, "Follow my posture and protect your head. Although you won't be affected by the earplugs, it will still be troublesome if you are hit on the head by flying rocks."

"What rocks?"

Before Hachiman understood what Kyosuke meant, a European-style castle rose in the center of the Colosseum.

"What exactly is going on?"

Yui, who is always fearless and likes to watch the fun, is about to cry this time. The current situation is beyond her understanding. She is unable to understand what is happening in front of her.

"——Weep (shakes head)"

"Rio-chan, don't be afraid. We are all together." Yukino comforted the trembling Rio, she looked up at Kyosuke, "Kyosuke, Rio-chan is not in a good mood. Let's leave here first."

Kyosuke shook his head and rejected Yukino's suggestion: "It's useless. If we could get out, I would have asked everyone to give up the game at the beginning. Now we can only wait for everything to be over. Don't worry, everyone has earplugs, so there will be no problem."

Kyosuke cheered Rio-chan on and continued to squat with his head held high. The other members of the service club quickly followed suit and assumed the same posture.

However, other audience members in the theater who were unaware of the situation were still running around in fear and panic, and they became even more emotional when they found that they had no way to leave the place.

However, the two people in the center of the theater clearly misunderstood what everyone meant.

"Mother! Is this the rose-like cheering dedicated to me? I will not let you down!"

Then, except for a small number of people present, everyone had a new understanding of the meaning of the word tone-deaf.

But this is not the end.

"I won't lose to a red guy! [Báthory Erzsébet (Blood Witch)]!!"

So after re-understanding the term "tone-deaf", the audience then learned what visible sonic booms are and what dragon's breath is.
