I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table
Page 45
“Really? Kousaka-san, do you have a solution?” Zaimokuza crawled over from the ground and wanted to hug Kyosuke’s thighs, but was scared away by Xiaoyu’s disgusted look.
“Forget about this manuscript now. However, I want to confirm one thing first. Are you really planning to write a light novel? If you just want to have fun, you’d better give up. Because you will have a hard time next.”
Facing Kyosuke’s serious gaze, Zaimokuza flinched a little. But he soon reaffirmed his determination, and said to Kyosuke in a dogeza position: “I want to try to see where my limits are, so please tell me what to do, Kosaka-san.”
PS: Please be the first order, please be the first order!
Chapter 32 Shiyu: Forming cliques is a compulsory course for women
“No need to be so formal. First of all, your subject matter is definitely not good, you need to change it.” Kyosuke turned the manuscript over and wrote with a pen, “Although the senior just said that it doesn’t matter if the subject matter is similar to others, unless your writing is extremely good, the passing rate of manuscripts with similar themes is basically very small. With your writing skills, it’s best to write some more novel themes, so that the passing rate will be higher.”
Kyosuke stopped writing and thought for a while, he was thinking about what topic would be better for this fat guy. In the end, he decided to give this fat guy a topic that was easier to talk nonsense about – A Certain Scientific Railgun. Anyway, the typewriter in the original novel was also a physics idiot, and it could be said that it was the same as this fat guy. And the fat guy’s habit of using uncommon words to talk nonsense would be a deduction in other novel topics, but in this topic, it can be called a unique style.
The reason why I didn’t choose this story is because Kyosuke said that this fat guy is a complete idiot in love. Although the emotional route of the pickup artist in this story is a bit far-fetched, it is not something that Zaimokuza, who has zero love writing skills, can handle. In this case, it is better to give up this part directly. After all, Misaka Mikoto’s harem is all of the same sex. No matter how badly it is written, she can still use friendship to fool around.
“Kousaka, is there anything wrong with your subject matter? Something about super powers, you didn’t just write it randomly, did you?” Yukino poked her head out to take a look at the outline of the novel written by Kyosuke and expressed some doubts.
“Then you are wrong. Although your writing is terrible, you are very good at grasping the subject matter. The earliest outline of “Looking Up” that I have published now was also provided to me by you, so there is no need for you to doubt it.” Shiyu was a little dissatisfied with Yukino’s contempt for Kyosuke.
“As expected, my husband is the best~” Xiaoyu didn’t seem to understand what Shiyu was saying at all. She just hugged Kyosuke and rubbed him after knowing that she was praising him.
“Is it really possible?” Zaimokuza looked at the bunch of unclear but impressive settings written by Kyosuke and felt a little unconfident.
“Here.” Kyosuke handed Zaimokuza a piece of manuscript paper with almost all the writing on the back. “I’ve written down the general settings. Go back and take a look, then write an outline tonight and give it to me during the club activity tomorrow. Remember, just the outline, don’t rush to write the main text. Let me take a look at your ideas for writing the article first.”
“Okay, I’ll try.” Zaimokuza stuffed the settings given by Kyosuke and the novel signed by Shiwa into his schoolbag.
“Then I’ll go back first. Thank you, Kousaka-san, and Kasumi Shiko-sensei.” Zaimokuza waved goodbye to Kyosuke and Shiko at the classroom door and left.
Yui was not very happy that the fat man only said goodbye to Kyousuke and Shiha. After the classroom door was closed, she stuck out her tongue and said, “Wow… It’s really a difference in treatment. Both Yukino-chan and Dunjia had made suggestions.”
“No, Hikigaya and I were just attacking him, and it was Kousaka who helped him.” Yukino’s expression was not very natural.
Although she also wanted to help Zaimokuza, her approach was to use her sharp tongue to attack him so that he would give up this unrealistic fantasy. In her opinion, the real help would be to make this person with a deep chuunibyou completely sober up and return to reality, but Kousaka Kyousuke chose another way. He planned to fulfill Zaimokuza’s daydream. This made Yukino feel incomprehensible. Did Kousaka intend to continue to embarrass the fat man and finally make him sober up?
Looking at Kyosuke who was still writing and drawing, Yukino finally asked her own question: “Kousaka, you are not really going to help Zaimokuza-san publish his light novel, are you?”
“It depends on whether he is willing to do so. If he really loves light novels and is willing to work hard to become a light novel writer, then I will help him. But this road is not easy. If he gives up halfway, it proves that he does not really love light novels enough to regard it as a career.”
“But is there really any hope for that kind of writing?” Hachiman wasn’t quite sure.
Kyosuke finally finished what he was going to write. He looked up at Hachiman and said, “Did you make a mistake? Zaimokuza’s goal is to participate in the light novel rookie award. So as long as he can reach the normal competition level, it will be fine. The rookie award does not require very good writing skills, so judging by his writing skills, he can reach the baseline with a little training. Especially since I chose the most suitable subject for him. To be honest, the rookie award generally requires that the writing style of the work is smooth, and the most important thing is whether the author’s imagination is novel. The subject I provided him does not have a similar popular work in the industry, so the editor will definitely be interested.”
“But then wouldn’t you be the main author of the novel?” Isn’t that cheating? Hachiman didn’t say the second half of the sentence, but his expression showed it.
Shiha explained Kyosuke’s doubts to Hachiman on his behalf: “That’s why the junior only gave some major settings and let Zaimokuza think of the story himself. After all, it’s his own business, and he will definitely feel a sense of accomplishment only if he creates it himself.”
“Yes, I am more of an inspiration and controller. I will tell him what kind of character setting can be more attractive, and I will also teach him how to set up interesting story plots. But in the end, this work is still his own, and I will not stop him if he wants to give up.”
“But you, junior, will still be very unwilling. Otherwise you wouldn’t have written these things.” Shiyu flipped through what Kyosuke wrote behind Zaimokuza, which was a more detailed supplement to the settings that Kyosuke had just given to Zaimokuza.
“Well, I’m just writing it casually. If Zaimokuza really gives up, then I will give this story to Mashu-chan to complete. Eriri said before that she has almost learned the basic skills of comics, and hopes that I can help her produce a work so that she can practice.” Kyosuke seemed indifferent.
“Is that the pink-haired loyal dog following behind you? I haven’t seen her with you in school recently. Turns out she’s been hanging out with that golden retriever.” Shiyu said as she glanced at Xiaoyu meaningfully. Xiaoyu glared back at her, not wanting to be outdone. The two people’s eyes met in mid-air and it seemed as if sparks were created.
“That’s it for now. I’m going back now.”
Kyosuke felt the pressure from both sides, so he quickly got up, packed his things, and prepared to escape with his schoolbag.
“Well, let’s go home now, husband.” No matter what Kyosuke does, Xiaoyu supports him unconditionally, “While it’s still early, let’s go buy some vegetables first. I deliberately didn’t tell mother that I wanted to buy fish…”
“Then I’ll go home too. Goodbye, Yukinoshita-san, Yuigahama-san, and Kasumigaoka-san.”
After Kyosuke and Xiaoyu left, Hachiman felt that it was not good for him to stay alone as a boy, so he also picked up his schoolbag and prepared to leave.
“Your name is Hikigaya, right? Remember to bring the novel tomorrow. I’ll be over during the club activity tomorrow, and I’ll sign it for your sister then.”
“Then thank you, senior.” Hachiman bowed to Shiwa gratefully and left the classroom.
“Senior Kasumigaoka, aren’t you leaving?” Yukino looked at Shiyu who hadn’t moved and felt a little strange. She should have come to find Kyosuke, so why was she still staying here now that Kousaka and the others had already left?
“I have something I want to discuss with Yukinoshita-san. Could you step aside for a moment, junior?”
“Okay.” Yui immediately turned into a good girl and walked out of the classroom and closed the door. Although she was very curious about what the two people would talk about, she did not eavesdrop.
After Shiyu and Yukino were left alone in the classroom, Yukino looked at Shiyu and said coldly, “Senior Kasumigaoka, tell me what you want. But I’ll warn you first, if you plan to…”
“It has nothing to do with that. I just want to ask if you have a sister or cousin named Fumino?”
Looking for her mother? Xueno was a little confused. How could she be related to her mother?
Yukino thought that if the other party had anything to do with her mother, it was probably Kousaka Kyousuke’s business. The senior student in front of her had never been jealous of her mother because of that pretty boy. Could it be that the other party didn’t win over her mother that time, so he came to her club to get back at her?
“what happened?”
Yukino has absolute confidence in her mother’s ability to snatch men, and she believes that her mother will never lose to anyone. But because of this, Yukino feels that her mother is too cheap for the Yukinoshita family, isn’t she?
The head of the Chiba clan actually competed with an underage light novel writer for a man. Is that pretty boy really that good? Fortunately, the other party seemed to think that she was his sister and didn’t know that she was his mother, otherwise the Yukinoshita family would have lost all their face.
Although Yukino doesn’t like the Yukinoshita family very much, as a member of this family, it is her duty to maintain the family’s reputation. After all, it is an insult to her if the Yukinoshita family is humiliated.
“So what? What do you want, Kasumigaoka-senpai?”
Shiyu saw Yukino’s reaction and thought she had agreed. She ignored Yukino’s expression and continued, “Can you tell her something for me? Just tell her that I, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, have something I want to talk to her about. Can you trouble her to come out and meet me?”
“what are you up to?”
“Don’t worry, it’s not that I won’t argue with your sister. I just heard that she hasn’t seen Kyousuke for a long time, and I want to talk to her about something.”
Want to claim sovereignty? But wouldn’t it be more appropriate for Tamamonomae, who is now with Takasaka, to do this?
“Well, I don’t think your sister would be uninterested in Kyousuke’s current situation. After all, there’s a fiancée who dropped from the sky.”
“She has nothing to do with Kousaka anymore.” Yukino didn’t want her mother to have any contact with Kyosuke anymore.
“This matter is not up to you to decide, little girl. Just convey the message. I believe your sister will come to find me,” Shiyu ignored Xueno’s cold face and settled the matter on her own.
Shiyu walked to the door and opened it. As she stepped out of the classroom, she turned back and added to Xueno, “Of course, if she really doesn’t want to, I won’t force her, but don’t regret it if you tell her.”
PS: In order to prepare the banner, I found several pictures of round tables, two of which were not selected because they were black and white. Mimi felt it would be a pity not to post them, so I posted them here for everyone to see.
Chapter 33 Fu Fu: Fu Fu (Internet scammers go to hell)!
In the setting sun, Mashu stood hesitantly at the door of Camelot, and she recalled what Eriri had secretly said to her when they were in the art club.
“Hey, Mashu-chan. Let’s work together to get that female vixen away from Kyosuke.”
“Okay…ok.” Mashu was really embarrassed to refuse Eriri, but she didn’t tell her what was in her heart.
Even if we drive Tamamonomae away, the senior will not be ours.
Mashu knew very well that even if she drove Tama away, Kyosuke would still not belong to her or Eriri, or as a member of Camelot, Mashu knew very well what she would have to face if she wanted to be Kyosuke’s only one. Tamamonomae was not a big problem at all. If she really dared to marry the senior, there would be many demons to deal with her.
For those female Heroic Spirits who are as fierce as wolves and tigers, anyone who dares to snatch Kyosuke will be against them. It’s not that every one of them likes Kyosuke, but in their opinion, Kyosuke, the Heroic Spirit Charger, is born to belong to them. Mashu felt that if these old women were not unable to do anything to each other and if there were no people like Grandpa Hassan to mediate, they would definitely fight to the death for the exclusive possession of the senior.
Moreover, Mashu knew very well that other Heroic Spirits might just think it was fun or have a desire to possess the treasure for themselves, but her own king was absolutely serious. The king would never allow anyone to take the senior away from her, there was no doubt about that.
Although Mashu had dreamed of the senior marrying her, the dream was just a dream. She knew that being able to stand beside the senior was already a great happiness. What she hoped for was to have a place in the senior’s heart so that he would not forget her, and that he would occasionally care about her after sharing the joys and sorrows with the king.
But how could I say such things to Eriri-chan?
Mashu has already decided to be a maid, but she knows very well that Eriri, who has been educated in modern society, will never put her in the position of a concubine. Although she will join forces with her when facing a powerful enemy like Tamamonomae, Eriri will definitely turn against her if she takes the initiative to show that she wants to monopolize Kyosuke. Eriri has been aiming for the position of being the only one by Kyosuke’s side from the beginning.
Although Mashu knew that Eriri was daydreaming, she didn’t want to leave her first non-heroic friend besides her senior. Eriri didn’t know what she was going to face. If she didn’t stand by her side, then Eriri might… But how should she face the king in this case?
Mashu decided to tell Mr. Merlin about her troubles later. Although he was often unreliable (and now he was hung up), as an elder in life, he still gave Mashu a lot of advice. It was thanks to Mr. Merlin that she could get along so well with her senior now, but Mashu still hoped that he would stop finding girls from outside to sell to her senior.
“Fu~~”
Fou used her body to squeeze through a crack in the door and got out of Camelot through the crack. She seemed to be planning to leave Camelot, but when she saw Mashu standing at the door, she quickly jumped onto Mashu’s shoulder and licked Mashu’s face with her tongue.
“What’s wrong, Fufu?” As Fufu’s owner, Mashu could keenly sense that it was afraid.
“Fu~” Fu Fu pointed towards the door of Camelot with her claws.
“Did anything happen in the store?”
Could it be that Bedivere-senpai’s cold has become more serious? Mashu thought of how Bedivere-senpai had a cold and fever last night because he caught a cold after working all night at Kyousuke’s house. He had been lying in bed since returning to Camelot in the morning.
Mashu quickly pushed open the door and entered [Camelot], and then she saw an extremely exciting scene.
His father and Gawain were half-naked and hugging each other. Only a vest and part of the waist armor remained on each of them. The floor was covered with their broken armor. The Indestructible Lake Light and Gawain’s Wheel of Victory Sword were not far from the two of them. The two swords were crossed and deeply inserted into the floor, in the same position as their current two owners.
Mashu felt that the way these two people were in contact at this moment was similar to the scenes in a comic book called “Saints of the Underworld” that Eriri had recommended to her before. The protagonist of the comic book would often take off his armor and fight the enemy in close combat.
What on earth are these two people doing?
Mashu finally understood why Fu Fu ran out. Except for the forest fairy, anyone else would be scared and run away after seeing such a weird scene.
“Mashu, you’re back.” Aguiwen, who was standing outside the fight between the two gorillas, saw Mashu come in and turned to greet her.
“Uncle Aguguiwen, what is going on?”
“Don’t worry about them, these two idiots have it all their own fault. When they have made enough trouble, I will deal with them.” Agguiwen saw that another table was sacrificed in the transaction between the two people, so he pressed twice on the calculator, and it seemed that he was still calculating the losses caused by the two people.
“Mashu, just ignore these two guys. This is not the first time they have fought.” Cui Beishou walked out of the kitchen with a plate of food.
“What’s the reason this time?”
“The direct cause was that Gawain ate a white sticky liquid in his meal. But it’s obvious that your father put it in there on purpose to irritate him.” Cui Sadness was obviously unwilling to talk more about this disgusting thing. He handed the tray to Mash, “Mash, can you help feed Merlin? This guy is making a lot of noise now, and he won’t let us feed him no matter what.”
“Mashu, don’t worry about it. Let that guy starve to death. He can’t die anyway. Does he still want to bargain at this time?” Agguiwen looked at Gawain and Lancelot who were twisting and sweating, and complained without raising his head.
“It’s okay. I’ll just go for a while.” Mashu left the hall with the plate. Instead of watching her father being gay there, it would be better to go to Merlin for a life talk.
“How dare you put that kind of stuff in my meal, you damn camel! Didn’t I just give you a raincoat that’s one size smaller?”
“You, the sun chicken, really did it on purpose!”
“So what?”
“That’s what I’ll do!”
Ignore, ignore.
As Mashu passed the two embarrassing things, she forced herself to resist the urge to slam the dining table on their heads and left the hall and came to the corridor where Merlin was hanging at the stairs.
Merlin shed tears of gratitude when he saw Mash bringing him food.
