Kyosuke said that the world of you adults is really hard to understand. Why did you end up in such a state? It always feels like there is no result in the end.

"So, what is the purpose of the Yukinoshita family coming to me? Have you found out?"

"That's right, Master Kyosuke. When that man first started out, he had a deep friendship with the gangsters. He married into the Yukinoshita family to clean himself up. But in the recent conflict with the Yukinoshita family, in order to gain an advantage, the other party seemed to have contacted the gangsters again. He borrowed a large sum of money from them to use in the internal struggle within the Yukinoshita family, and he cleverly included these loans in the company's liabilities.

Originally, this was nothing. In the end, no matter which side won, this debt was not a problem for the winner. Even Yukinoshita was planning to use this debt to expand his network of connections, so neither side cared. But now, due to the sudden death of the current head of the family, these debts have become the biggest problem. "

Kyosuke probably understood what the other party meant. It was probably because the gangster saw that the person who borrowed the money had died and was afraid that Yukinoshita would not pay back the money, so he pressed for repayment. He might even have used some dirty tricks to force Yukinoshita to surrender.

To be honest, this amount of money is not a big deal under normal circumstances. However, on the one hand, a large amount of cash was consumed in the previous game between the two parties, which made this money a heavy burden. On the other hand, due to the sudden death of the company's director, the entire company is in a state of chaos. Fumino and Haruno have spent a lot of energy to stabilize the company.

From the information Hassan gave him, it can be seen that it is not impossible for Yukinoshita to take out this money, but it will seriously damage her vitality, and it is very likely that the Yukinoshita family will become unable to recover for a long time afterwards.

Kyosuke is a little hesitant now, he doesn't know whether he should help. Although Kyosuke is sure that most of the information Hassan collected about Fumino's bad situation in recent times was released by Yukinoshita for him to see, Kyosuke still feels a little bit reluctant, he has to say that Yukinoshita has taken advantage of him.

"Cursed Arm, have you asked someone to assess the assets of the Yukinoshita Company?"

"Master Kyosuke, I have asked someone to evaluate this. The other party's assets are very healthy except for this debt. As long as there is a sum of money to solve the current crisis in a short period of time, I believe that the other party's company can develop smoothly in the future. At least it won't be a problem to recover this money."

Kyosuke listened to the answer of the cursed wrist, tapping the table and thinking. In the end, he decided to help Yukinoshita: "I remember that guy has a lot of spare money that he wants to invest?"

Curse Arm was stunned at first, then he realized who Kyosuke was talking about: "Yes, Lord Gil does have some extra money from gambling. He originally wanted to buy a new villa for Lord Enkidu, but Lord Enkidu refused. If Lord Kyosuke asks him to help use the money to help Yukinoshita pay off her debts, it shouldn't be a big problem. Lord Gil doesn't care about the rate of return on funds anyway. As long as Yukinoshita can pay back the funds before the agreed time and don't embarrass him, it'll be fine."

After getting the answer from the Curse Arm, Kyosuke finally decided to help Fumino. After all, he didn't have to contribute too much, and at most he could just be considered as helping to build a connection with the Yukinoshita family.

So after Kyosuke hung up the phone, he immediately sent an email to Enkidu. The reason why he didn't send a message to Gilgamesh himself was because if Enkidu agreed, then even if Gilgamesh himself was not very happy, he would agree to it reluctantly, and Enkidu was easier to talk to than Gilbon.

Sure enough, after waiting for about an hour, Kyosuke received an email from Enkidu. The other party said that after confirming the information with Hassan, he agreed to lend the money to Yukinoshita. The interest rate of the loan was similar to that of the bank, and the repayment time was quite easy. Even the loan amount was much higher than the amount Kyosuke requested. After Yukinoshita paid off the debt, there would even be a lot of money left to alleviate the company's current cash flow problem.

Kyosuke forwarded the email to Haruno and then turned off his phone and went to sleep. He believed that the other party would definitely understand what he meant. Yukinoshita was left to deal with Enkidu alone. Kyosuke was going to return tomorrow. After thinking about it for the past few days, he felt that it was not a good idea to avoid it like this. It would be better to talk to everyone about this matter.

If everyone really recognizes me because of my efforts over the past year, that would be great; if everyone treats me as a living thing and keeps me there to avoid being destroyed, and never accepts my ideas, then I'd better leave.

The next afternoon, when Kyosuke left home for Camelot, he saw a familiar black car parked not far from his home.

Kyosuke walked to the car door, and the black one-way glass window slowly fell, revealing a face that Kyosuke had missed so much recently. Kyosuke was a little surprised to see this face that was obviously thinner than the last time they parted, but still beautiful. He never expected Fumino to come to his house.

Fumino looked at Kyosuke with a worried look on her face and said, "Kyosuke, there are things I want to talk to you about. Can you get in the car? You should be going to Camelot now, I can give you a ride."

PS: Regarding the part about Shiny, Mi-chan hesitated for a long time between the middle two Shiny and the wise king Shiny, because both states are very interesting. So Mi-chan finally decided that when wearing a headscarf, it is the wise king Shiny, and when taking off the headscarf, it is the middle two Shiny.

Chapter 33 Mi Jiang: I wish you all good luck tonight, and may Merlin be everywhere.

After getting on the bus, Kyosuke deliberately sat close to the window and kept a certain distance from where Fumino was sitting.

Fumino didn't care about Kyosuke's deliberate distance towards her. She leaned over and told the driver where they were going.

"Qingtian, go to the Camelot bar."

After nodding to show that he understood, the driver took the initiative to close the window between him and the back seat and started the car.

After the car started, Fumino did not speak to Kyosuke immediately, but lowered her head and secretly glanced at Kyosuke who was leaning against the car window. After realizing that Kyosuke was also looking at her, she immediately looked away.

When Kyosuke noticed that Fumino was avoiding his sight, he withdrew his gaze and looked out the window. He listened to the regular sound of the car running, thought for a moment, and said to Fumino: "What do you want to tell me?"

Fumino hesitated for a moment and said, "I wanted to come here to say sorry to you. I'm sorry for what happened that night. My husband's death made me confused at the time, and what I said to you was a bit too harsh."

"As for that, I don't really mind it. Although I was sad for a long time afterwards, I also figured out that there shouldn't be any emotions between male hosts and female customers. Everything is just a transaction. I was too immature."

How could I not mind, Kyousuke thought silently in his heart. But the relationship between the two of them was wrong from the beginning. Kyousuke originally thought that he had a few decades of mental age and could control his emotions well.

But after Fumino rejected him that day, Kyousuke felt that he really behaved like a child who had not grown up. Not to mention that he got angry and punched the wall and broke his hand, he also got drunk in Camelot and threw a tantrum in front of Hassan.

When staying at home these days, Kyosuke carefully reflected on his funny behavior these days and felt very ashamed. He could only be thankful that Fumino in front of him didn't know about his actions, otherwise she would definitely agree with what she did that night. He really didn't deserve her.

Kyosuke felt that he must be the most shameful time traveler in history. He had never seen anyone so embarrassing.

Fumino, however, felt uncomfortable when Kyosuke said he didn't care. She thought of the night when Haruno came to her and said someone was willing to lend Yukinoshita some money to tide over the current crisis, and the repayment terms were quite generous. Although Haruno didn't say how she got the money, she was sure that the man in front of her had made a great effort through the other party's hint.

"Last night, Haruno told me that someone helped our Yukinoshita family find a source of funds. Was it Kyosuke who helped with this? Haruno came to you without telling me."

"Nothing, I just helped out. My friend just happened to have some spare cash, and your family is just in temporary financial difficulty. There's absolutely no loss in investing, and you can even get interest."

Kyosuke didn't really care about helping Yukinoshita, as he didn't play any key role in it. Kyosuke estimated that even if the Yukinoshita family had nothing to do with him, if he went to find them, they would probably agree to lend the money. But without him, Yukinoshita might not even know about the existence of this rich man.

However, Fumino did not think that Kyosuke played a small role in this matter as he said. She was very grateful that Kyosuke could still help her even though she had said so many excessive words before.

"But it wouldn't be easy for your friend to take out such a large sum of money all at once. If this money is used for other investments, the return rate will obviously be much higher than lending it to us."

No, no, no, sister, you are wrong. That rich guy is really poor and only has money left. If you borrow money from him, you are giving him a chance to show off his wealth. He is showing off too much. Although Kyosuke thought so in his heart, he would not say such words to Fumino. The more he explained such things, the more Fumino would misunderstand.

So Kyosuke decided to change the topic. He asked Fumino where the money went and Yukinoshita's current situation: "According to my friend's habit, the money should have been in your hands. Have you paid off the debt?"

"We got the money this morning, and I gave it directly to those people. Although they were a little surprised that we gave them the money so quickly, they still accepted it since we were able to pay it back. This matter can finally come to an end."

Fumino seemed to be much more relaxed when answering Kyosuke's questions. It seemed that this incident had really put a lot of pressure on her recently.

"Really? That's great. But you have to remember to pay the money back. Although that person was very easy to talk to when you borrowed the money, he would be very angry if you did anything to deceive him."

Seeing Fumino's relaxed look, Kyosuke was also somewhat happy, but in order to prevent Yukinoshita from taking the initiative, he kindly reminded her. There are many people who act like grandsons when borrowing money and act like uncles when paying back. But it is not easy to owe money to that uncle. If he really gets angry, Kyosuke feels that before Enkidu intervenes and ties him back home, the destruction of Yukinoshita's family is certain.

"That's for sure. Yukinoshita is from a prominent family in Chiba after all, she wouldn't do such a tasteless thing. Oh, right. This is for you."

Fumino said as he pulled out a box from the bag beside him and handed it to Kyosuke.

When Kyosuke saw the beautiful cross star logo on the box, he knew that it contained the watch that Fumino had intended to give him. He quickly refused: "Forget it, isn't our relationship over? You should take the watch back."

"No one in my family wants a men's watch, and I don't have anyone to give it to. Besides, this was originally given to Kyousuke, so Kyousuke, just treat it as our parting gift or as a gift that an ordinary customer buys for her male host."

After hearing what Fumino said, Kyosuke finally had no choice but to take it, opened the box, took out the watch inside and put it on his hand.

Let's just regard it as the last commemoration of this relationship with Fumino. Kyousuke raised his wrist and put it in the sunlight shining in from the car window to admire it for a while.

"It suits you very well, Kyousuke."

Fumino looked at Kyosuke's childish actions and agreed with him slightly.

"That's right. After all, I'm also a male host of Camelot. Hey, Fumino." Kyosuke put down his hand and his voice suddenly became a little cautious.

"what's up?"

"Although our relationship has ended, will you still come to [Camelot] as a regular customer?"

It would be best if Fumino agreed. Although the relationship between him and Fumino has ended, Kyosuke still doesn't want to completely cut off contact with her. Maybe he can just be an ordinary customer? After all, Fumino is a widow now, so it's not a big problem for her to just come to the bar to spend money.

Fumino was a little surprised to hear Kyosuke's question. She flicked Kyosuke's forehead with her finger in a teasing manner: "Ah, Kyosuke is afraid that everyone except your sister will be punished by the manager? If little Kyosuke begs me, your sister might agree."

"Then please." That would be fine, let the two of them just start over as regular customers. Kyousuke looked out the window and couldn't help thinking that maybe he could continue to get along with Fumino this way.

However, Kyosuke soon noticed something strange outside the car window. He leaned over the window and took a closer look at the scenery outside.

Fumino was a little surprised by his actions: "What's wrong, Kyousuke?"

"This road doesn't seem to lead to Camelot?" Kyosuke observed the scenery outside the car and confirmed that the car was not heading to the suburbs on the other side of Chiba in the opposite direction of Tokyo.

After hearing what Kyosuke said, Fumino quickly looked outside: "Really, why... Qingtian, what's going on?" Fumino pressed the microphone switch and questioned the driver.

The driver's emotionless voice came out of the microphone: "Don't worry, ma'am. I have no ill intentions, it's just that someone wants to see you."

After the other party finished speaking, no matter how Wen Nai questioned him, he no longer responded.

"No signal, it seems to be blocked." Kyosuke took out his cell phone and wanted to make a call, but found that the cell phone signal had been blocked. He wanted to open the car window, but found that the window was also locked by the other party. It was obvious that the other party had planned to do this.

"Is this kidnapping?"

Fumino was a little confused by Kyosuke's guess: "Aota has been in our house for a long time, and his son works in my company. There is no reason for him to kidnap me. There must be other reasons."

"He just said someone wanted to see you, so he should be just an assistant, and there should be someone else behind him. Do you know how he got into your house?"

"He came to my house as my husband's driver. When my husband married into our family, he only brought him with him. He has been my family's driver for nearly 20 years."

After hearing Fumino's words, Kyosuke recalled the information he had read yesterday, and he thought of a possibility that the other party might be the contact person between Fumino's husband and those people on the road.

But this made Kyosuke even more confused. Yukinoshita had clearly paid off all the debts, so why was the other party still holding on to her? If Yukinoshita still owed money, it would be understandable for them to keep pressing her. Now that the debts have been paid off, they are still refusing to let go, which is a bit of a violation of the rules of the underworld.

However, Kyosuke did not share his guess with Fumino. Instead, he put his hand on Fumino's hand and comforted her: "It's okay. The other party also said that he has no ill intentions and he will not do anything to us."

Although Kyosuke himself didn't believe what he said, his firm voice still gave Fumino some encouragement. Fumino nodded slowly, but didn't say anything. She just grabbed Kyosuke's hand tightly and leaned on Kyosuke.

"Please let me lean on you for a while, I..."

"It's okay, I understand." Kyosuke hugged Fumino in response.

On the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke a word until they reached their destination in silence.

The car finally drove to a suburban factory and stopped. "Madam, we've arrived." The driver Qingtian's voice came from the communicator.

"Let's go down and see what he is up to. Don't worry, I will protect you." Kyosuke patted Fumino's shoulder, hoping to give her some courage.

But Fumino didn't show any fear at all, although she was a little nervous at first. But after the tenderness between the two of them just now, she now looked calm and didn't show any nervousness at all.

After hearing Kyosuke's comfort, Fumino instead revealed a confident smile: "I am the daughter of the Yukinoshita family after all, how could I be afraid of such a thing. Besides, shouldn't I, as an adult, be the one to protect you, Kyosuke, in this situation? Just stay in the car, nothing will happen to you." As Fumino spoke, she stroked Kyosuke's hair, then opened the car door and got out.

Kyosuke felt that Fumino looked quite handsome now, confident and dignified. This was the attitude she should have as Mrs. Yukinoshita. However...

"As a man, how can I hide behind at a time like this?" Kyosuke quickly followed Fumino out of the car.

After getting out of the car, Kyosuke found Aota standing in front of Fumino. Although his actions still seemed humble, the expression on his face was one of pretentious sarcasm.

"Please come in, Madam." Qingtian made a gesture of invitation to Fumino, and then ignored Kyosuke who ran to Fumino's side, and walked directly to the front to lead the way. When passing by Kyosuke, he deliberately bumped into Kyosuke's shoulder and gave Kyosuke a contemptuous look.

After Qingtian led the two people into the warehouse, Kyosuke saw at first glance the people from society who were wearing suits and ties and had "friendly" smiles on their faces, who almost filled half of the warehouse.

"Really, this is troublesome." Kyosuke felt that today's incident would not end well when he saw the situation.

PS: Do you have recommendation tickets? Does anyone have recommendation tickets? ——byCos the little match girl's Mi Jiang o(￣ε￣*)

Chapter 34 Wang Ha: No one knows that I have infiltrated the Knights of the Round Table

Although there were hundreds of people in the warehouse, it was surprisingly quiet after Kyosuke and his friends entered the warehouse except for the footsteps of a few people. Kyosuke could see that this group of "friendly" people were obviously disciplined. Kyosuke looked around privately while walking. He observed the surroundings and felt that today's matter was a bit tricky. If he guessed correctly, the person who invited Fumino here should be the leader of the other organization. The other party called so many people here, Kyosuke was a little worried about whether he could protect Fumino later, but no matter what, he couldn't back down.

Qingtian led the two to a sofa in the middle of the warehouse and stopped, bowing to the person sitting on the sofa. Kyosuke looked past Qingtian at the man sitting on the sofa. The man had a slicked-back hair, wore sunglasses, had a scary scar on his face, and exuded an aura of "I'm not a good person" from head to toe.

Qingtian said respectfully to the person sitting on the sofa: "Boss, I have brought the people, and there is one more. It is said that this guy solved the debt problem of the Yukinoshita family." After Qingtian finished speaking, he immediately stood behind the sofa and stood with the other younger brothers.

The person sitting on the sofa suddenly raised his head and looked at Kyosuke after hearing Qingtian's speech.

Kyosuke felt uncomfortable with the other person's gaze, and he felt the deep malice of this person towards him. So Kyosuke glared back without any hesitation, he knew that he must not give in at this time, otherwise the other person would definitely take advantage of him.

After staring at Kyousuke for a while, the other party turned his head to Fumino with a hypocritical smile on his face.
