I, Kousaka Kyousuke, the Knight of the Helping Table
Page 41
Feeling hurt, Eriri pointed her finger at Shiyu and loudly retorted, “No way, no way. Haven’t you ever even held Kyousuke’s hand?”
“You’re missing one more of the three consecutive No Road Races. You can’t even act cute and tsundere, and you still have the nerve to pretend to have twin tails. Also, I’m not like someone who has been with the person they like for more than ten years without doing anything. I did kiss Kyousuke~”
“Kiss…kiss?! Humph, you must have said that on purpose? I don’t believe it.” Although Eriri pretended to be calm and responded to Shiyu in a nonchalant tone, it could be seen that she had obviously heard it from the fact that she had to cross her arms to stop her hands from shaking.
“Well, forget it if you don’t believe it.” Shiyu turned her head away, playing with her hair while looking at the classroom where Kyosuke was, wondering what she was thinking.
“So, why did you come to see me? Look at me carefully when you talk to me.” Eriri was very dissatisfied with Shiyu.
Shiyu turned her head back, looked down at Eriri and said, “Well, do you want to join forces with me?”
“Huh?” Ying Lili didn’t understand what the other person meant at all.
“That female fox can’t be defeated by herself. This is the same for you and me. So let’s join forces before we drive that female fox away from Kyousuke.”
Eriri thought the other person was joking at first, but the other person’s expression told her that Shiyu was serious. Is this person’s brain broken from writing books? Do you think this is a palace drama like The Tale of Genji?
“You’ve already come into contact with that female vixen when you were on your way to school with Kyosuke this morning. You were completely suppressed.” Shiyu watched Kyosuke and the other two twisting together as they entered the school gate today. From Eriri’s expression at the time, it was obvious that she had lost badly on the way to school.
“This has nothing to do with you.” Eriri was caught by Shiyu’s weakness, and her face turned red. “As for joining forces, forget it, I can handle it myself.” If I really want to join forces, I won’t look for you. I’ve been tricked by you many times. I’d better go find Mashu-chan. Eriri pushed away Shiyu’s hand and went back to her class to find Mashu.
Shiyu was a little upset after Eriri rejected her. She originally wanted to join forces with Eriri to strengthen her own weaknesses. Shiyu knew very well that her advantage was the feelings she admired in Kyousuke’s heart, and her weakness was also obvious that she was not familiar with Kyousuke’s family at all.
Although she had been to Kyosuke’s house several times last year and met Kyosuke’s mother, she obviously didn’t like her very much. Through the limited contacts, she realized that she recognized Eriri more in her heart. Shiyu’s original plan was to team up with Eriri and let her introduce her to Kyosuke’s family as a friend, so that she could take advantage of the situation to improve her impression of Kyosuke’s family.
By the time I kick that slutty fox out, I should be able to get along with Kyosuke’s family. By then, I can just abandon this golden retriever that has no advantage over me.
However, this plan was aborted at the very beginning, which made her feel a little awkward. The option of waiting for the pink fox and the golden loser to lose and then reaping the benefits did not exist from the beginning. On the one hand, passively waiting for the result was not her character, and at the same time, Shiyu was sure that the golden loser would never be a match for the cunning fox and would only be fooled by it.
What should I do? Shiyu wandered absentmindedly in the corridor, thinking about what she should do after the connection with Eriri was severed. Apart from Eriri, there was no one else familiar with Kyosuke’s family. Through Kyosuke’s sister? From what she knew, the little sister was a complete modern person. As a fashion model, she and she had nothing in common.
I need a comrade who has a good impression of Kyousuke and can help me speak well of him in front of Kyousuke’s family. Where can I find such a person? Wait, if the information I got this morning is correct, it seems that there is another person who meets this condition. However, it was because I couldn’t deal with that female fox that I went to form an alliance with others. Now I have to ask that female fox for help. Isn’t it a bit putting the cart before the horse?
But it seems that there is a way. As long as I secretly unite the other girls who like Kyosuke to fight against the female fox, and wait until the female fox can no longer bear the pressure, I will lend a helping hand to her…
Just do it this way, although it is very risky, but even if it fails, it can muddy the waters, and I won’t necessarily lose to other scheming little bitches if I fish in troubled waters. The first one is the one called Fumino, it seems that I must go to Kyosuke’s club today to find that Yukinoshita.
Chapter 26: Xiaoyu: Sorry for not being able to make glowing food, the bride’s training must continue
If everyone was jealous of Kyosuke for having a beautiful girl who was devoted to him at first, then the “wife bento” (as Xiaoyu called it) that Xiaoyu showed off at lunch time made everyone’s jealousy of Kyosuke even deeper.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing. When Xiaoyu showed the three-layer luxury lunch box, everyone in the classroom was stunned. Before, I thought Xiaoyu’s bride practice was just talk, but I didn’t expect that she was really doing it.
At the same time, Kyosuke also saw the full picture of this lunch that he had been looking forward to for a long time for the first time. The third layer on the top was the omelette, fried chicken nuggets, sweet shrimp sushi and sashimi flower cutlet that he had seen in the morning.
Kyosuke had only taken a quick glance before and hadn’t seen it clearly, but this time he saw clearly that the sashimi flower cutlet was made up of salmon, sea bream, flounder, and tuna. After each type of fish was sliced, Xiaoyu arranged it into the shape of a flower.
It’s a pity that Kyosuke has no interest in flowers and can’t tell which four flowers they are, but he can still appreciate Xiaoyu’s superb knife skills and superb plating skills. At the same time, looking at the bright and lustrous fish meat,
Kyosuke was sure that Xiaoyu had chosen the most juicy and delicious part of the fish that was most suitable for sashimi to complete the flower cut. He didn’t know where she got these high-quality ingredients from, could it be…? Kyosuke looked at the other’s cleavage, and he was looking forward to what else the other could take out from this four-dimensional cleavage.
The second layer of the lunch box is a variety of fried tofu products, mainly Inari sushi. Kyosuke looked at these various fried tofu dishes and guessed that these should be Xiaoyu’s specialties. After all, Xiaoyu is a fox (or a fox demon?).
In addition to various kinds of inari sushi, this layer also has braised vegetables made with fried tofu and mushrooms, snacks wrapped with beef fillings in fried tofu (the method looks a bit like Chinese dumplings), etc. Although the main ingredient is only fried tofu, it doesn’t feel monotonous at all.
The last layer of the lunch box contains a variety of Japanese desserts, including strawberry daifuku, sakura mochi, Japanese manju, red bean yokan, etc. These sweets are colorful and beautiful when placed together.
“My husband, please.”
Xiaoyu placed the lunch boxes on the table, then took out a thermos cup and poured Kyosuke a cup of hot black tea that she had prepared earlier (Kyosuke recognized it as Ceylon blended tea through his job knowledge). Then Xiaoyu took out a pair of mahogany chopsticks and handed them to Kyosuke, asking him to eat.
Kyosuke held the chopsticks but didn’t dare to start eating. He felt that this bento could be called a work of art and he really couldn’t bear to destroy it. It wasn’t just Kyosuke who thought so. Other classmates in the class also thought so. They took out their phones to take pictures before Kyosuke started eating. For a while, all kinds of flashes flashed in the class, and those who didn’t know thought it was a press conference.
“Husband, why don’t you eat? Is there something wrong with my cooking?” Xiaoyu was a little worried about Kyosuke’s reluctance to eat. She didn’t know if the dishes she cooked didn’t suit Kyosuke’s taste. She should have made the bento according to the menu given by Mordred instead of choosing the dishes she was best at to show off her skills.
“No, it’s just that she’s too beautiful to touch…”
“I made this for my husband to eat. If he doesn’t eat it, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?”
Sitting behind Kyosuke, Hachiman looked at the cheap bread, rice balls and cocoa drink in a paper box in his hands. He always felt that he was being kind enough by not throwing the rice balls at Kyosuke’s face.
Kyosuke seemed to sense Hachiman’s envious gaze behind him, so he moved his body and turned to ask Hachiman: “Hachiman, would you like some?”
“No, this is something Tamamo-san prepared especially for you.”
Hachiman quickly shook his head and rejected Kyosuke’s invitation. He didn’t want to be hated by Tamamo just because of a few dishes.
But Xiaoyu didn’t care. She took out a pair of disposable chopsticks, picked up some sushi and snacks from the lunch box, put them on the lunch box lid and handed them to Hachiman. She smiled and said to Hachiman, “It’s okay. I made a lot here. My husband probably can’t finish it all by himself. You are my husband’s friend, right? If you don’t mind, try it.”
Hachiman looked at Xiaoyu who handed the food to him. Although it was raining outside, the classroom seemed to be covered with a layer of holy light under the shining lights of other students. Hachiman was so moved by the beautiful scene and the exquisite food on the lunch box cover that he wanted to burst into tears. This was the first time in his life that he gave the most sincere praise from the bottom of his heart.
“This is the goddess!”
Hachiman picked up a piece of fried chicken with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The tears that had been welling up in his eyes suddenly flowed down.
This is truly the most delicious food I have ever tasted! Thank you, Mom, for giving birth to me.
“Hachiman-san, is the food tasty? I’m sorry, I’m still a cultivator and my cooking skills are pretty poor. They haven’t reached the ideal level yet…” Xiaoyu said to Hachiman apologetically.
“That’s absolutely not the case. Tamamo-san’s cooking is already very good. There’s no need to belittle yourself. No, this is the most delicious food I’ve ever eaten.” Hachiman immediately denied what Tamamo-san said. He felt that Tamamo-san had already reached this level and was still not satisfied. So what exactly was the ideal level of cooking that Tamamo-san was pursuing? He was getting more and more jealous of Kyosuke, the bastard, who could make such an outstanding Tamamo-san so willing to dedicate herself to him.
Hachiman ate his lunch box with tears in his eyes. He swore that he would be a die-hard fan of Tamamo from now on. If Kyousuke, the four-eyed boy, dared to let Tamamo down in the future, he, Hikigaya Hachiman, would be the first one to not forgive him.
“Okay, husband. You can pick up your chopsticks now. Let’s eat quickly.” After getting Hachiman’s affirmation, Xiaoyu looked at Kyosuke with expectant eyes, obviously hoping to get Kyosuke’s praise.
Kyosuke shook his head helplessly. He felt that Xiaoyu was thinking about him wholeheartedly in everything. It was great to have such a fiancée, but it always made him feel a little unreal. Was he really that outstanding? Was it worth Xiaoyu devoting everything to him?
Kyousuke picked up a piece of omelette with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. He had already tasted Tama’s cooking once in the morning, so although he still thought it was extremely delicious, he did not lose his composure like Hachiman. He smiled with satisfaction, touched Tama’s fox ears with his hand and said, “It’s delicious, thank you, Tama.”
“Yeah.” Although Hachiman had praised her before, for Xiaoyu, Kyousuke’s praise was the most gratifying.
“Tama-chan…” Mordred, who had already finished his lunch box (made by Mash), sucked his index finger and looked at the lunch box pitifully. Seeing this, Kyosuke quickly took the lunch box away to prevent the husky’s saliva from dripping onto the lunch box.
“Hi, Xiao Mo, this is for you. This is the reward we agreed on before.” As if she had known that Mordred would come to beg for food, she took out a much smaller lunch box and stuffed it into Xiao Mo’s hand.
Xiao Mo opened the box and found a row of Inari sushi and a row of Japanese confectionery inside. She couldn’t wait to put an Inari sushi into her mouth with her hands.
“It’s really delicious.” Mordred shouted happily.
“Really?” Yui, who was following Xiao Mo, also seemed very interested. “Oh, I envy Tamamo-san so much. She’s so pretty and has great cooking skills.”
“If you don’t mind, Yuigahama-san, please try some too.” Xiaoyu took out another pair of disposable chopsticks, picked up a small piece of yokan, and handed it to Yui with her hand.
“Ah~ Yeah. Delicious.” Yui smiled happily.
“I’m glad you like it, Yuigahama-san. Would you like to sit down and eat with us?”
“Ah, no, I have to go out for a while.” Yui rejected Xiaoyu’s invitation with some regret.
Miura, who was discussing with Hayama about going out for ice cream after school at the back of the class, shouted to Yui after hearing her reply: “Yui, are you going out? Then please buy me a bottle of lemon tea when you come back. I forgot to bring a drink to go with the bread.”
“Eh? Well, I was going to have lunch with the others…I probably won’t be back all afternoon. Sorry, Yumiko.” Yui raised the lunch box wrapped in a pink cloth bag in her hand.
“Hmm? Yui, what do you mean?”
Miura’s face turned a little ugly. He didn’t know if it was because Yui had other friends to have lunch with when he didn’t know and he regarded this as a “betrayal” of him, or he felt that Yui, who had followed him closely before, actually dared to resist him and embarrassed himself in front of everyone.
“Well, I made an appointment with my friends from other classes to have dinner together today, so I’m really sorry.” Yui bowed to apologize to Miura.
“You…”
Hachiman, who had already enjoyed the loving lunch specially prepared by Tama (although he felt extremely sorry that it was not made for himself), found that the atmosphere was a bit stiff. He knew that Yui had made an appointment with Yukinoshita to have lunch before, so he planned to send a text message to ask Yukinoshita to come over.
But Kyosuke was one step faster than Hachiman. He swallowed the sushi in his mouth, then stood up and said to Miura, “Miura, I’ll buy you some lemon tea for Yuigahama. Do you have any requirements for the brand?”
PS1: In the original novel, Miura asked Yui to buy a drink because the bread for lunch was too dry, but in the animation, it was a purple lunch box. Mi-chan thinks that Yui’s hesitation in the original novel is because she always agreed with others. Mi-chan thinks that because Yui had the experience of expressing her opinions to gangsters before, she should be braver when facing Miura than in the original novel, at least she can make her point clear.

Chapter 27 Mashu: Brother, let’s change our father
“You?” Miura seemed to have thought of his remarks in the morning about the other party being obsessed with pink hair, and his expression became even uglier. Could this guy really be attracted to his own Yui?
“Hey? Xiaojing?!” Yui was very surprised that Kyosuke stood up and even accidentally let out his name.
“Hmm? Xiaojing?” Xiaoyu’s face turned a little unhappy when she heard Yui’s name, and her fox ears twitched.
“No, Kousaka-san, you don’t have to…” Yui quickly changed her words when she saw Tama’s expression.
“It’s okay. Have you already made an appointment with your friend? Breaking an appointment is not a good habit. Just consider it as my way of repaying you for speaking for me this morning.” Kyosuke said nonchalantly.
“Husband…actually you can.” Xiaoyu raised the thermos in her hand, as if she wanted to use the black tea inside as a substitute to save Kyosuke from having to make an extra trip.
“It’s okay. Xiaoyu, you made too much lunch for me. I’m already full with so much left. I can go for a walk outside to digest it and come back to continue.” Kyosuke didn’t want to give the high-end Ceylon black tea to Miura. The relationship between the two sides was not good enough.
Moreover, everyone in the class (there were also some students from other classes watching in the corridor) was watching him eat. He felt a little awkward and decided to retreat temporarily. There should be fewer people when he came back.
Kyosuke walked to the door and asked Miura again, “Miura-san, what brand do you want?”
“Well, any is fine. I’m not picky.” Miura felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Kyosuke was really going to buy him a drink.
“Is Vita okay then?”
Miura nodded slightly, but she immediately remembered her status as the queen in the class, so in order to maintain her dignity, she snorted at Kyosuke.
Kyosuke ignored the other party’s arrogant attitude and closed the classroom door.
When Kyosuke was about to go downstairs, he saw Yukinoshita Yukino coming down the stairs. It seemed that she was getting impatient waiting for Tuanzi and was going to Kyosuke’s class to see what was going on.
When she saw Kyosuke standing at the stairs, she was stunned for a moment, then she snorted and walked past him.
Kyosuke was a little confused by Yukinoshita’s hand. What’s going on? He was hummed once by two different girls within 5 minutes. It’s not cute at all to be just tsundere. Can’t you learn more from Eriri’s tsundere? And don’t tell me there will be a third girl who will hum me later.
Unfortunately, when Kyosuke arrived at the vending machine on the first floor, he didn’t see the third girl who hummed to him.
When Kyosuke was getting the change after buying the tea, he suddenly heard Lancelot’s voice.
“Kyosuke, come here for a moment.”
Kyosuke turned his head towards the direction of the sound with some curiosity, but was frightened by Lancelot’s outfit and his change fell all over the floor. He almost dropped the drink he bought, but fortunately Kyosuke caught it again before it fell to the ground.
Lancelot was wearing a worn green raincoat that was obviously one size too small, standing in the corner of the corridor and waving at him. He looked like he had just come in from the rain, and water was dripping all over his body. He looked indescribably weird.
“Kyosuke, come here.” Seeing that Kyosuke did not respond, Lancelot waved to him again.
Kyosuke ignored the change that had fallen to the ground and took a step back calmly with the drink in his arms.
“a!”
Lancelot was a little anxious when he saw Kyosuke’s reaction, so he walked out from the corner and walked towards Kyosuke.
