“Ah, after all, Mashu-chan is the best☆~”

Mashu was afraid that this guy would make some excessive demands, so she prepared in advance. “Mr. Merlin, let me make this clear. I can’t let you down.”

“Easy to say, easy to say.”

“Then open your mouth.” Matthew picked up the bread on the plate and handed it to Merlin.

“(Chewing) Ugh… As expected of you… Mashu-chan… It’s much more comfortable than that gorilla Gawain☆~”

After Merlin finished his bread, Matthew scooped up some soup with a spoon and fed it to him. “Hey, Mr. Merlin, can I ask you a question?”

“Go ahead. Go ahead. Uncle Merlin will answer all of Mashu-chan’s questions.”

“Why are you so obsessed with your senior? Like Xiaoyu this time, and the lady of the Yukinoshita family before, and even the fact that you secretly pushed your senior to Ms. Maeve behind the king’s back. What is your reason for doing this?” Mashu asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

Merlin stopped eating, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, “Because this is fun, DA☆ZE.”

“Go to hell!”

Mash slammed the bowl of soup on Merlin’s face and left angrily.

After Mash left, Fu Fu kindly helped Merlin kick the bowl down.

“Fu~” Fufu stuck out her tongue and licked the soup off Merlin’s face.

“I’m sorry, Fufu-chan.” Merlin knew that what he said was indeed a bit too much, but he didn’t dare to tell Mashu the truth.

“If I tell the truth, this is a bet we old guys made around Kyousuke-chan. Will she just beat me to death with her shield?”

“Fu~” Fu Fu scratched Merlin’s face with her claws.

“It hurts. What? You want to join in?”

“Fu~” Fu Fu nodded her little head vigorously.

“Pressure Mashu-chan?”

“Fu~Fu”

Fu Fu continued to nod her little head.

“Oh, so what are you going to bet on? Remember it has to be something good.” Merlin didn’t think that the timid and shy Mashu would win in the end, so it would be nice to take the opportunity to cheat Fufu of her collection.

“Fu~” Fu Fu stretched out her little paws and pressed on Merlin’s neck.

“Wait…wait a minute.” Merlin realized the stupid dog’s intention and tried to resist. But it was too late. Fufu’s paws glowed.

When the light faded, Merlin felt his neck was hot. Although he couldn’t see it, Merlin knew that there must be marks on his neck indicating that he had been mortgaged.

“You damn dog! You plotted against me! So I’ll just make you into a dog meat hot pot like Kyousuke-chan said!!”

Merlin struggled like a maggot.

But Fufu ignored Merlin and jumped off his shoulder, looking at him provocatively, as if mocking Merlin for what he had done.

Merlin felt that he had been really unlucky recently. First, he was hung in the corridor for a whole day (and he was clearly told that he would be hung until his boss came back, which was expected to be about a month), and then he was severely cheated by this dog that he could not keep well. He was sold out by it.

Merlin had already understood the other party’s plan. Fufu mortgaged himself as a poop shoveler, so in order to avoid losing himself, he had to help Mashu win the final victory. Damn, after knowing that someone was pregnant, he placed a heavy bet on her! Now it’s all going to go down the drain!

“Damn scheming dog!!”

Merlin wailed alone in the corridor.

Chapter 34 Cui Sadness: Why am I always the one who cleans up the mess in the end?

Getting up, getting dressed, going down the stairs, brushing teeth, Kyosuke repeated the actions he had done in this world for seventeen consecutive years.

Kyosuke mechanically moved his left hand left and right to clean his teeth. He recalled his dream last night. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have dreamed about the boy and the fox again. This has been two days in a row. Kyosuke believed that this matter should be directly related to Xiaoyu, but he was embarrassed to ask. If this is really his previous memory, then if Xiaoyu knew about it, she would probably cry, make a scene, and then hang herself.

After brushing his teeth, Kyosuke washed his face with cold water to wake himself up. Then he sat down at the kitchen table and watched Xiaoyu and Jiano, who had gotten up early, making breakfast there.

As the saying goes, a day’s plan begins in the morning. The Takasaka family’s happy day begins with breakfast made together by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

“Tama-chan, give me that bowl.”

“Okay, Mother.”

From the conversation, it seems that Tama is helping Kaneo, but in fact, Tama is the main chef. Although she has only been here for two days, Tamamonomae has already firmly grasped the stomachs of everyone in the Takasaka family. Kyosuke believes that no one in the family will object to this statement. Even Kirino, who dislikes Tama the most in the family, will postpone the club’s morning exercise and sit here waiting for Tama’s breakfast. This can be seen.

Kyosuke cares more about the harmonious relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law at the stove than the delicious breakfast. This scene always makes Kyosuke feel indescribably weird. It seems that Kano has completely fallen for her. And another parent, Kosaka Daisuke…

“Hi, father, here’s your breakfast.” Xiaoyu put the breakfast plate in front of Daisuke.

“Thank you, Xiaoyu.” Daisuke, who was reading a newspaper at the dining table, seemed to have completely immersed himself in the role of a father-in-law and completely accepted Xiaoyu’s actions.

“This is yours, husband.” A breakfast was placed in front of Kyosuke.

Today’s breakfast is western-style oatmeal porridge with buttered bread and a small bowl of cherry tomatoes as a fruit. Xiaoyu seems to have put some corn in the oatmeal porridge, making this simple breakfast smell fragrant and appetizing.

Kyosuke was startled by Xiaoyu’s action of putting down the plate. He quickly came to his senses from evaluating Xiaoyu’s daughter-in-law index in the eyes of the two elders, nodded to Xiaoyu and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyu.”

“Mo~husband, come on, it’s not okay to be so groggy in the morning. Is it because you slept too late last night?” Xiaoyu touched Kyosuke’s forehead with her index finger lovingly.

Don’t you think about who made you so late last night? Kyosuke felt his stomach twist as he recalled how Xiaoyu cried and made a scene in the living room last night in order to sleep in the same room with him.

If it wasn’t for Kanae’s mother-in-law who said she didn’t want her daughter-in-law to sleep with her before marriage and forced Tama to sleep in the guest room, Kyosuke felt that the fox would definitely make trouble. And Tama didn’t keep her agreement with Kanae. She waited until everyone fell asleep and then sneaked into Kyosuke’s room. This can be easily deduced from the fox hair on the floor when Kyosuke woke up in the morning. And those hairs were definitely intentional, because Tama told Kyosuke that her fox hair would not fall off due to natural reasons.

However, although Xiaoyu spent less than two days to deal with Kanao and Daisuke, she still did not completely deal with Kirino. Kirino recognized Xiaoyu’s cooking skills, but she definitely did not recognize Xiaoyu as her sister-in-law, and even still targeted Xiaoyu on things other than food.

Because after Tama finished making breakfast, Kirino immediately stood up from her seat and took her breakfast from Kanono, instead of waiting for Tama to serve them like Daisuke and Kyosuke did. As the last member of the Takasaka family who had not fallen, Kirino obviously would not give Tama any chance to show her affection.

At this time, there was no one in the kitchen except Tama and the Kosaka family. Eriri did not appear at the dining table as usual. Kyousuke felt that after being stimulated by Tama yesterday morning, she would probably not show up for a long time.

After finishing a simple breakfast, Kirino was the first to leave the table because of the club’s morning exercise, while Xiaoyu waited for everyone to finish their meal and then cleaned the dishes.

“Xiaoyu-chan, you don’t have to do these things, let me do it.”

“It’s okay, mother. This is what I should do as the daughter-in-law of the Takasaka family. Please sit over there.” Xiaoyu shook her fox tail and refused Kanao who wanted to help her wash the dishes.

“I’m not a wicked mother-in-law who sits there and orders my daughter-in-law to work.” Jianai was a little dissatisfied with Xiaoyu for taking care of everything, but she couldn’t intervene. And sitting there and resting while watching Xiaoyu work was not her character, so in order to find something to do, she simply went to the bathroom to wash clothes.

Kyosuke had already prepared everything and was waiting for Xiaoyu to wash the dishes before leaving together.

At this moment, Kyosuke’s cell phone suddenly rang. Kyosuke took out his cell phone and found that it was a call from Camelot’s landline.

“Moshi, Moshi. I’m Kyousuke.”

“Kyosuke?” Cui’s sad voice came from the receiver, and Kyosuke heard the undisguised tiredness in his voice.

“Tristan-senpai?”

“It’s me. Sorry to call you. The store is short of people at night. Can you come over to cover for a while? Aguiwen will double your salary.”

“What’s wrong? You sound so tired.” Kyosuke was a little worried. After all, Tristan was a relatively stable person, and he generally wouldn’t come to ask for help unless it was really necessary.

“I’m sorry, something happened in the store yesterday, and I was the only one foreman, so it was a bit tiring. Although Bedivere can help foreman today, for some reason there will be fewer people on duty than yesterday, so I hope you can come and work overtime for a day, thank you for your trouble.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll come today, but I might be late because of club activities.”

“That’s okay. Sorry for the trouble. I’m going to catch up on my sleep.” Tristan hung up the phone without even saying goodbye. It seemed like he was really busy last night.

Daisuke, who was reading a newspaper, looked up when he heard Kyosuke’s phone call and said, “Kyosuke, are you going to work part-time tonight?”

“Yes. What’s wrong?” Kyosuke was a little surprised. Didn’t Daisuke always ignore his part-time job?

“It’s been a bit rough at night lately, so it’s best to ask a senior from the store to pick you up when you go home.”

“What’s wrong?”

Daisuke hesitated for a moment and then said, “I didn’t want to tell you kids. The largest underworld gang in Chiba Prefecture, the Hirayama Group, suddenly collapsed at the end of February (Kyosuke scratched the tip of his nose). There was a power vacuum in the underworld in Chiba Prefecture all of a sudden, so recently there have been disgusting fights everywhere at night because of those gangs fighting for territory.”

“I remember it was over last week, wasn’t it?” Kyosuke remembered that Jintoki had talked to him about this before.

Daisuke was a little surprised that Kyosuke was so well-informed, but he still explained to his son: “What ended was just the fight for the territory vacated after the fall of the Hirayama Group. Now the territory has basically been divided up, so several powerful organizations have begun to compete for the top spot in Chiba Prefecture. So it’s still not safe at night, so you’d better be careful.”

“It’s okay, Xiaoyu, I will definitely protect my husband.” Xiaoyu, who had already packed up, stood in front of the father and son who were talking and said directly, patting her chest.

“You’re not going to come with me to the store, are you? Absolutely not, you’ll interfere with my work.” Kyosuke quickly stopped Xiaoyu’s fantasy. He couldn’t imagine what his part-time job would be like if Xiaoyu continued to follow him. You know, although Xiaoyu looked magnanimous and said that she didn’t mind her job, Kyosuke believed that if something happened between him and a customer while he was working, even if it was just an unintentional tug, Xiaoyu would definitely kick him and the customer out.

“No, Kyosuke has work to do, you have to go home right after school.” Daisuke on the side did not quite agree with Xiaoyu’s plan, he rejected Xiaoyu’s proposal.

“Father~~” Xiaoyu hugged Daisuke’s arm and pleaded in a coquettish voice.

Although Daisuke enjoyed the feeling of being begged by his daughter (Kirino hadn’t acted like this in a long time), he still didn’t agree out of his fatherly responsibility. He patted Xiaoyu’s head and said, “This matter is non-negotiable. How about this, please pick up Kirino after school. Her club activities end quite late, and I’m worried about her going home alone after school.”

“Oh… okay.” Xiaoyu finally agreed to Daisuke’s request. Although she felt a little regretful that she couldn’t go to the store to see her husband, it seemed good to have a good relationship with her sister-in-law.

“Okay, I get it. But dad, you should be careful too. After all, the chances of you coming into contact with this kind of thing at work are much higher than ours.”

“It’s okay. We have a new guy here who is very good at fighting. He once subdued a dozen thugs who were making trouble with just one hand.” Daisuke didn’t care about Kyosuke’s reminder. He introduced his new subordinates to the juniors in a proud tone.

Kyosuke had heard others talk about arranging a heroic spirit for his father, so he was not surprised. Xiaoyu was a little unhappy that Daisuke praised others and looked down on her. She pouted and muttered, “Obviously, I can do it.”

“Okay, okay. You’re the best.” Kyosuke perfunctorily stroked Xiaoyu’s tail with his hand.

“Migu!” Xiaoyu couldn’t resist Kyosuke’s trick. She was stimulated to the point that her tail was all bristling. Then she leaned limply on Kyosuke, “My husband is so bad. He said that even though he knew that Xiaoyu was very sensitive.”

“That’s enough, you two brats. What are you talking about in broad daylight? Go to school now!”

Daisuke was very unhappy with his son and future daughter-in-law showing off their affection in front of him (in his eyes, Kyosuke was kneading Xiaoyu’s buttocks), and he waved his hand and drove the two of them out of the room.

Chapter 35 Archimedes: Give me a fulcrum and I can do something

“Sorry, the morning meeting has started early again today. Everyone please return to your seats.”

Hachiman was a little puzzled. Why did Xiaojing start the morning meeting early for two consecutive days? Yesterday, Tamamonomae transferred in. Could there be another new student transferring in today?

“I have something to tell you. Starting today, your math teacher, Ms. Chai Qi, will be taking a long vacation, so your math class will be taught by a new teacher.” After everyone was seated, Xiao Jing announced this information to everyone, which Kyosuke had already known yesterday.

But I didn’t expect that it was the grandfather who replaced the math teacher. Kyosuke originally thought that the heroic spirits were more likely to replace the liberal arts teachers to teach literature. After all, Kyosuke believed that no one could understand Shakespeare’s works better than Shakespeare himself.

“Then Mr. Archimedes, please come in.”
