PS1: The idea of Zaimokuza mentioned in the previous chapter was actually something that Mi-chan had thought of a long time ago. After watching Avengers 1, Mi-chan had an idea about what would happen if Captain America traveled through time and space to form the Avengers in Academy City. At that time, Mi-chan also set up Pako to replace Wang Dachui, Kuroko to be Black Widow, Erye to be Nini, and Hualei to be Lao Jia. The Hanged Man issued tasks just like the One-Eyed Dragon. But in the end, Mi-chan was too lazy and didn't continue this idea. _(:з」∠)_
Chapter 38 Yang No: Actually, it's also possible to add me and Yukino
Kyousuke thought for a while and then wiped the cup again. He said to Yukino nonchalantly, "This is just your idea, right? If your mother really wants to see me, she will come to Camelot herself.
"Besides, your sister doesn't want me to have any more contact with your mother. Until now, she has not forgiven your mother for being with me behind your father's back, and me for being the third party."
After saying this, Kyosuke shrugged his shoulders twice.
For a moment, Yang Noi wanted to tell her mother the reason why she couldn't come to the bar, but she finally held it back. She knew that this matter could only be told by her mother herself, but she herself seemed to be a collection of contradictions now.
The mother didn't want to give birth to this child that shouldn't exist, but due to her responsibility as a mother, she couldn't give up the child. So the mother chose to play ostrich and let her belly grow bigger day by day without informing Kyosuke, because she was afraid that Kyosuke would make the decision for her whether to keep the child or not after knowing it.
Grandpa had talked to my mother about this several times. But every time, no matter how Grandpa lectured or scolded her, my mother just kept her head down and kept silent. In the end, Grandpa had no choice but to let it go, but he still found a nurse to look after my mother. My mother did not refuse this, but accepted it calmly.
In fact, both Haruno and Tencheng could see that Fumino actually wanted to give birth to the child. She didn't want to tell Kyosuke because she was afraid that if Kyosuke didn't want to take responsibility for the child, she would lose the courage to give birth to the child. So she just kept dragging it out, and only confessed to Kyosuke when the time was up and she had to give birth to the child.
Yono didn't have much of an opinion on her mother's idea, because in her opinion, the Yukinoshita family really needed a reason to tie Kyosuke down, and a child was the most effective and practical reason. Yono believed that if the child was born, Kyosuke would take the initiative to help the Yukinoshita family with anything, even if Yukinoshita didn't have any requirements.
But Yang No knew that Kyosuke was very capable, and he himself might not even realize it. It was not just about the loan earlier, but also about the man named Merlin who approached her not long ago and said that as long as she could find a way to bring Kyosuke and Yukino together, Yukinoshita Enterprise would win the bid for the project. Yang No originally thought that the other party was a liar, because Yang No himself did not believe that Yukinoshita Company could win the project now, not because the company was not strong enough, but because there were too many people who wanted the Yukinoshita family to fail in this project.
However, the other party explained in detail the details of the project he was bidding for, as well as many things about his own company and competitors. He also took out photos of his mother and Kyosuke.
"I don't have any bad intentions, and I won't post photos randomly. I just want to tell Yang No-chan that I'm not a bad person☆~ I'm Kyousuke's friend DA☆ZE."
Of course I know you know Kyousuke. I've been to Camelot a few times and I've seen you mixing drinks at the bar, but what does that have to do with whether you're a bad guy? And you're about the same age as me, why do you call me Haruno-chan?
"If I don't agree, will Mr. Merlin spread these photos?"
Facing Yang No's questioning, Meilin simply denied it.
"How is that possible? If the photos get out, I'll be the first one to get into trouble. I just want to make a deal with you. You help me get Kyousuke to hook up with your sister, and I'll help you complete this bidding. It's a fair deal."
Yang No didn't believe the other party's lie that they wouldn't publish the photos. It was impossible for the other party not to make good use of the handle on the Yukinoshita family. At that time, Yang No thought that the other party might be the behind-the-scenes force controlling Kyosuke. The previous borrowing of money was just a setup, and now it should be really going to swallow up the Yukinoshita family.
It's no wonder that Yangno has such thoughts, because since the death of her father, the Yukinoshita family has been subjected to all kinds of attacks. Even though the crisis of the Hirayama Group has been resolved, there are still many monsters who came out of nowhere and began to oppose the Yukinoshita family.
These people were like hyenas that smelled blood. They surrounded the severely damaged Yukinoshita family and waited for an opportunity to tear off a piece of fat from this giant who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
So, Yono, who had given up everything, found Xiaojing and asked her to use a tough attitude to lock Kyosuke and Yukino up in a club. However, what Yono didn't expect was that this perfunctory approach, which was like playing house, made the other party quite satisfied.
The other party fulfilled his promise and helped the Yukinoshita family get the bid for the project, which surprised the opponents who had originally planned to snipe the Yukinoshita family on this project.
This result made the hyenas, who were originally ready to make a move, temporarily suppress their ambitions, and gave the Yukinoshita family the most important opportunity to catch their breath and recover.
This made Yang Noi feel somewhat grateful to the man named Merlin, but it also deepened her vigilance against him. Since the other party could do something so easily that even the Yukinoshita family could not do, then his plan must be more profound.
This was one of the reasons why Yang No came to the bar today, because the other party had not contacted her since the last meeting in the coffee shop. However, from what Kyosuke said, it seemed that the other party was simply too busy to contact him, which made Yang No feel that she was a little self-indulgent.
Originally, Yang No planned to confirm with Merlin whether there was any conspiracy against the Yukinoshita family before deciding his own or the Yukinoshita family's attitude towards Kyosuke.
If the other party does have a plan, then I will take the initiative to cut off all contact with Kyousuke. If not, then I will try my best to bring Kyousuke to the Yukinoshita family.
This is a very realistic problem, because Yang No knows very well that Merlin's help can only solve the problem temporarily. Only by firmly twisting Kyosuke and the Yukinoshita family into a rope can it be guaranteed that the forces behind Kyosuke can always provide protection for the Yukinoshita family. And the brother or sister in her mother's belly is the guarantee of this communication.
Of course, Yang Noi would not think that just because of this child, Kyousuke would marry her mother, after all, the age gap between the two was too big. But she could, anyway, she did not mind Kyousuke and her mother having a child, or in other words, being more generous in this matter would make Kyousuke feel good about her.
But if he really couldn't do it, he could let Yukino take over. After all, didn't Merlin ask him to match Kyosuke and Yukino? Family was important to Yono, but if the family no longer existed, then the so-called family was just a joke. Kyosuke was also a good man. If it was him, Yono wouldn't mind entrusting Yukino to him.
This is also why when I heard Yukino complain last night that Kyosuke had a fiancée and was messing with her mother, my first reaction was to come to him and ask for clarification.
"Hey, Kyousuke, you don't seem to have answered my original question yet. What's going on between you and your fiancée?"
This kind of thing must be asked clearly. It has nothing to do with whether Kyosuke is unfaithful or not. What Yono needs is to see her chances of winning. After all, in order to get Kyosuke, she has already planned to put all three people in her family on the line. If it fails, it will be a huge loss. If this is the case, it would be better to give up at the beginning.

PS2: Dear readers, thank you for your blessings. ——by Cos Atalanta's Mimi
Chapter 39: Xiaoyu: Senior Sakuragi has taught us that joining the company means being persistent.
"So what you wrote here was too abrupt, giving people the feeling that the character suddenly had a seizure. I suggest that you add a paragraph of psychological description of the character to buffer it." Kyosuke used a red pen to annotate the first draft given to him by Zaimokuza and told the other party what needed attention.
It is already the club activity time on the second afternoon after Kyosuke had to work overtime. At this moment, Kyosuke is in the Service Club classroom, holding the manuscript of the new version of the novel given to him by Zaimokuza and explaining it to him.
"As expected of Kousaka-san." Zaimokuza took out his notebook and wrote down everything he needed to pay attention to.
Kyosuke returned the manuscript to Zaimokuza and said, "Let's do this for now. You try to revise it and then show it to Hachiman and Yukinoshita."
Yukino, who was reading a book, looked up and asked Kyosuke in dissatisfaction after hearing his words: "Wait, why is it me?"
“Because we need readers’ opinions.”
"No, what I mean is why me? Isn't it enough to have Hikigaya? I don't read light novels."
"Your opinion, even though you don't normally read light novels, is very important. And Zaimokuza didn't ask me to do it, he asked the entire Service Club to do it."
Yukinoshita avoided Kyosuke's gaze. She felt that reading such an article was a complete waste of time.
"Since you said so, Kousaka, I'll read it."
Zaimokuza, who was revising the article, said to Yukino gratefully, "Thank you very much, Yukinoshita-san."
"Well, after all, Zaimokuza-kun has worked so hard, so as the president of the Service Club, I will also help Kousaka to complete your commission. Isn't that right?" Yukino played with her black hair with her fingers to cover up her guilty feeling.
Yui, who had been playing with her cell phone from the beginning, was a little dissatisfied with Kyosuke for excluding her, so she raised her hand to signal Kyosuke.
"Hey! Hey! What about me? Why didn't Xiao Jing come to me? I'm also a member of the service club! You meanie!"
"Yuigahama, you are not a member of the Service Club yet..." Did you change back to Xiaojing when Xiaoyu was not around? How much do you like giving people nicknames? Kyosuke was a little helpless about Yui's habit of calling people nicknames.
"Indeed, Yuigahama-san, you are not considered a member..." This time, Yukino stood on Kyosuke's side.
"Huh? Why am I not?" Yui couldn't believe that Yukino would betray her. She was petrified.
"Don't you know? To become a member you have to submit an application and get permission from the advisor. How can you be considered a member if you don't even have an application yet?" Even though she has become friends with Yui (Tango thinks so unilaterally), Yukino still has an inexplicable insistence on this rule.
Is there such a thing? But neither he nor Kyousuke submitted an application to join the club. Hachiman thought back to his experience of joining the club and found that he had never filled out such a suspicious thing. Does that mean that he is not a member of this weird club yet?
"Your and Kosaka's application forms were filled out by Ms. Hiratsuka and submitted directly to me. Of course, if possible, I would like to reject both applications." Yukino seemed to see what Hachiman was thinking and interrupted him directly.
After hearing this, Yui took several steps back, knelt on the ground with a very lost look, and muttered to herself: "How...how could this happen..."
"By the way, Tamamo-san has already submitted her application." Yukino stabbed Yui in the back without hesitation.
puff-
Hachiman and Kyosuke seemed to hear the sound of a sharp blade piercing into Yui's gray-white body.
"Then... is Tamamo-san already a member of the club?" Yui asked anxiously while hugging Yukino's thighs.
"That's not the case. Tamamo-san didn't get the approval of her advisory teacher, and she's still lobbying Hiratsuka-san."
Yukino also fully supports Xiaojing's decision. She doesn't want the club she is so proud of to end up being a place for a couple to date after school. Thinking of this, Yukino glared at Kyosuke again, but Kyosuke was reading the outline that Zaimokuza had revised and didn't pay any attention to her.
"Hmph~" In response to Kyosuke's attitude of ignoring her, Yukino could only hum loudly.
In fact, Kyosuke's attention was not focused on the novel outline. He was just thinking about what happened last night under the guise of the novel outline.
Kyosuke's final explanation to Haruno was the version that Tama announced to the public, that is, Kyosuke was kind-hearted and took in the homeless Miss Tamamonomae, so in order to repay Kyosuke, she decided to marry him. However, when Haruno heard this explanation that even Kyosuke himself did not believe, she said "Oh~" as if she had suddenly realized something.
I understand you, you big head ghost, you have already started to deal with the affairs of your family company, how can you believe such an outrageous explanation? I am really worried about the future of your Yukinoshita Enterprise.
In fact, Yono doesn't care how Tama knows Kyosuke, because although she doesn't know about the Heroic Spirit, she already knows the strange people (Heroic Spirits) around Kyosuke from many details. What Yono cares about is Kyosuke's attitude towards the girl named Tamamonomae. Through Kyosuke's explanation, Yono believes that Kyosuke doesn't have too deep feelings for his fiancée, or in Kyosuke's eyes, the other party is just a beautiful girl who is attached to him.
He did have a good impression of her because of her pretty face and her efforts to serve him, but it certainly had not risen to the level of love. In other words, the feelings between the two of them were not so good that Kyousuke would marry her.
In this way, she still has room to maneuver. As long as she can use her younger brother or sister to trap Kyosuke, then her Yukinoshita family will be able to achieve the ultimate victory.
However, Kyosuke didn't know what Haruno was thinking. He was just confused as to why she became so happy after the conversation and even made some dirty jokes to him. Could it be that she was mentally ill because of the pressure of family affairs?
Just when Kyosuke was struggling over whether to tell Yukino to ask her to pay more attention to her sister's possible mental problems, a noise at the door of the service club interrupted his thoughts.
Bah——!
"Ah, it looks like everyone is here!" Xiao Jing pushed open the door of the service department's classroom without knocking as usual.
"Teacher Hiratsuka, I'm telling you..." Yukino originally wanted to remind the other party again to knock on the door before coming in, but the strange combination at the door made her unable to say a word.
Tamamonomae held Xiaojing's thigh tightly and had no intention of letting go. It seemed that Xiaojing dragged her all the way to the service department. Of course, there was also a boy with a burly figure, but judging from his expression, he seemed to be... shy?
PS: The third picture in the Round Table work clothes series, and another one of Gao Wen will be posted together with the second update.
Chapter 40 Kyosuke: When talking about Seki Tomokazu and campus, I think of rugby
Xiaoyu, who was kneeling at the door of the classroom, ignored the gazes of others, hugged Xiaojing's thighs and cried, "Xiaojing, just let me join~~"
"No, I've told you many times, this is a serious club activity, not a place for you to talk about love." Xiao Jing pinched her forehead and finally rejected the other party's request.
"Tsk, who cares about this crappy place?" As if she saw that Xiaojing would not agree to her request no matter what, Xiaoyu stood up and ran to Kyosuke and hugged his arm, refusing to let go, and looked at Xiaojing provocatively. The meaning was very clear, it doesn't matter if you don't agree to me, anyway, you can't stop me from staying here.
For a moment, Kyosuke swore that he saw Xiaojing clench her fists and wanted to hit someone, but she finally gave up.
Xiao Jing came to the classroom window and opened it, then took out a cigarette from her chest and lit it.
After blowing out a smoke ring, Xiao Jing said to Xiao Yu: "I'm really scared of you. You can join the club."
"Really?" Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled.
Yukino questioned Xiaojing's decision. She anxiously reminded her, "Wait a minute, Mr. Hiratsuka. I don't think this is a good idea."
