Oh, yes. And the light cannon*2 at the beginning. The word "miserable" is not enough to describe myself.

If I had known this, I would never have been bewitched by that old woman to come here to participate in the King's Game. The scene that I expected from the beginning, of drawing the King and taking revenge on that purple old woman, did not exist from the beginning.

"Okay, okay. I won't laugh at you guys anymore. Really, you guys are too..."

Princess Xingbu was still grinning, but after seeing Jill's ferocious look, she no longer laughed out loud. It was just that the expression with her mouth open was really uncomfortable.

"Alright, you're awesome. Go in there and clean up their cups."

Joan of Arc thought about it and decided to drive Xingbu Ji away. At least if she didn't show up in front of these people, they would not pursue this ignorant homebody anymore.

"Humph, I won't bother with this ignorant little girl."

However, looking at the way Jill clenched his teeth, it seemed that what he said was not the case at all. Kyosuke did not make any comment on this. If Jill really went to trouble Princess Keibu, Kyosuke would probably applaud, but whether he could bypass Jeanne was a question.

As for now, Kyosuke said that he just wanted to finish his breakfast quietly and then go back to have a comfortable nap. As for other things, whether it was causing trouble for Keibu-hime or settling accounts with Yokoshima, they would be discussed after he finished sleeping.

"It's over. It's over. We're going to be late."

Suddenly, the door behind the bar opened again, and Altria rushed out in a hurry. What was strange was that she was not the usual 20-something queen, but the - or -year-old she was when she came here to drink before.

"good morning everyone!"

"Good morning."

Lily's impetuous look did not attract Kyosuke's attention. He greeted her out of habit and turned his attention to the breakfast in front of him.

Jeanne once again demonstrated her talent as a housekeeper. She picked up the coffee pot and poured Lily a new cup of coffee: "Good morning, Miss Lily. What would you like for breakfast? Toast or something else? If it's something else, it might take a while. How about a cup of coffee first?"

Lily picked up the coffee in a hurry, touched it with her mouth, and put it down immediately: "It's too hot... Forget it, Jeanne, don't do it for me, I'm too late."

As she spoke, Lily turned her attention to the other people present. Seeing Lily's burning gaze, Holmes and his men immediately guessed what she was going to do, and they all stretched out their hands to protect the breakfast in front of them.

Kyosuke slowly finished the coffee in his hand, then reached out for the glass of milk that Jeanne had given him just now, but before he could take a sip, Lily snatched the cup away from him.

"Hey, that's mine!"

"What does it matter? They're all the same anyway." Lily ignored Kyosuke's complaints and took the only remaining piece of toast from his plate. "Hmm...it tastes good."

"If you want to have breakfast, ask Jeanne to prepare it for you. You are not the only one who can make a difference."

Kyosuke sighed as he looked at his empty plate. Just as he was about to ask Jeanne to prepare a few more toasts for him and Lily, he was pulled away from the bar by Lily.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished my breakfast yet. Let me have one more piece of toast before I leave!"

But Lily did not follow Kyosuke's advice and put him back. Instead, she dragged him towards the door more firmly.

"It's too late. Have you forgotten the appointment you made with Kirino? You have to arrive early. We're going to be late at this time. Why don't you go to the cafe and have breakfast later?"

After hearing Lily's words, Kyosuke remembered that he still had to deal with Kirino, his troublesome sister, today.

"Then don't drag me away so fast, I'm injured now!"

But Kyosuke's wailing had no effect at all, and he was still dragged out of the bar by Lily.

Chapter 9 Kyosuke: What is it like to be fooled?

"Welcome, Master. May I ask who is here?"

Still the same outfit, still the same familiar voice.

Kyosuke found that he and this maid cafe were really destined to be together.

Three times, three times in total. I have only been to a maid cafe three times in my life, and they were all in this store, and all in the first half of this year. I really hope that the maids in the store will not mistake me for a pervert who likes maids.

The first time I came here was for a date with Fumino. It seems that she chose this store after reading the recommendation written by Merlin on [Camelot]? The second time I came here with Xiaoyu. The reason why Xiaoyu chose this store is very simple. It was because Fumino chose this store at that time, so she chose this place out of spite to compete with her. And the person who chose to hold the offline meeting here this time seemed to be Lily? As a semi-otaku, Lily certainly couldn't know the existence of this store. In this case... it is probably related to a certain white-haired person.

Merlin, have you collected advertising fees from this store?

Actually, Kyosuke really misunderstood Merlin this time. After so many losses, Lily, no matter how stupid her brain was, understood one thing: Merlin, the dog-headed military strategist, was basically useless except for being a troublemaker. So this time, Lily's [Sister-in-law (self-proclaimed) Development Plan] was completely formulated by herself. The reason for choosing to hold an offline meeting here was also very simple, because as a pseudo-otaku who didn't know anything except girls' comics, Lily only knew this one. This was the information she got when she followed Kyosuke and Fumino on a date.

Kyosuke, who hadn't even finished his breakfast, looked at the menu with helplessness. The menu was the same as before. There were still those completely meaningless things on it, except that some seasonal specialties were replaced.

It's really expensive... So why do you have the guts to charge twice as much as other stores just for the maid service? You know, compared to that guy, you are not professional at all!

Kyousuke glanced at the ridiculously expensive food on the menu and couldn't help but complain. After picking and choosing and thinking about it, Kyousuke finally decided to order the cheapest curry rice (the kind without meat) to fill his stomach.

"Excuse me, order."

"Okay, what do you need, Master?"

A maid nearby quickly ran past Ali after seeing Kyousuke waving.

"Huh? Why is it you? Where are your cat ears?"

Kyosuke looked up and found that the maid in front of him was the same maid who had received him the two previous times he came, except that the familiar cat ears had disappeared.

"Ah, Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come again. As for my cat ears, they were a special outfit during the promotion of the cat-ear maid service in our store. Now that time has passed, the main feature is the summer short-sleeved maid outfit. After all, you are an old customer of our store, how come you don't even know this?"

"Um, sorry. I didn't notice. I always thought your place was a cat-ear maid cafe."

"Ah, could it be that you are obsessed with cat ears, master? Is that why you always like to come to our house? What a pity, master, you will have to wait until next year to see cat ears again." The maid said to Kyosuke with an apologetic look on her face, "But there is only one this time? Could it be that he was dumped by the previous two mistresses because of cheating? Oh, you are really poor master."

"How is that possible? That's not the case at all."

Seeing that the guests at the table to his left began to whisper to him after hearing what the maid said, Kyosuke quickly denied the other party's speculation.

"Don't be shy. Even though the master is so handsome, it is still completely forbidden for girls to have two relationships at the same time, so it is normal to be dumped~"

"You must have misunderstood something. This time I came..."

"Because your mistress dumped you, you came here to eat omelette rice out of spite, right? Yeah, I understand." The maid recorded the omelette rice on the ordering machine without your permission. "But unfortunately, there is no mistress to feed you this time. Do you want me to take your place? But let me make it clear first, my service is chargeable~"

"No, I don't need it at all..."

"What a shame. Are you shy? Or do you still have fantasies about the hostess? Do you have any requirements for the words on the omelette rice?"

"Can you please let me go, please?"

"Yes, yes. It should say 'I beg you to let me go?' Right? It seems that you really have a lot of resentment, Master. Okay, I get it. Please wait a moment, Master."

After recording Kyosuke's meal, the maid bowed and left, leaving Kyosuke with a confused look on his face.

What just happened?

Kyosuke found that the other party had completely mastered the rhythm of the conversation without him knowing when, and then his food changed from vegetarian curry rice (700 yuan) to omelette rice (1000 yuan + 500 yuan writing fee).

It’s a pity that you don’t do MLM, girl.

Omurice, a popular food in maid cafes, is usually made by chefs very quickly. In addition, it was still some time before lunch time, so not many customers ordered main courses. So Kyosuke waited for about 10 minutes before the steaming hot omurice was served by the maid.

"Hello, Master. This is the [Maid's Love Omurice] you ordered, and the words have been written on it according to your request. You are such a greedy master, Meow-chan took a lot of effort to write all the words. Then do you want me to cast the magic of love for you (300 yuan service fee) to make the food more delicious?"

"no thanks."

Kyousuke would never spend this kind of money again, because he hated this kind of extra service. But he seemed to have completely ignored the fact that he used to earn money from this kind of extra service when he was a gigolo. From this point of view, there was no essential difference between him and the maids in the maid cafes, except that they served different people.

"Then please enjoy your meal slowly."

Kyosuke looked at the omelette rice in front of him with strange words written on it in ketchup, sighed resignedly, picked up the spoon and dug in.

Although it was not my original intention, since it was the food I ordered, I had to finish it even if I had to cry, otherwise I would have wasted my 1500 yen.

So sour... too much ketchup, I would not have said that nonsense if I had known. Not only did they charge extra money, but they also made the food taste terrible.

At this moment, Kyosuke personally felt the suffering of those elderly people who were deceived into buying health products.

Chapter 10 Kyousuke: My stupid sister~ I can't believe I can say this

"You really ate all of it. It seems like you really like omelette rice."

The maid placed the coffee that Kyosuke ordered after the meal in front of him and cleared away the plate he had finished eating.

Kyosuke was too embarrassed to say that if he wasn't afraid of wasting it and was really hungry, he would never eat this food with too much ketchup. He picked up the coffee and tasted it. As expected, it was made from the big bags of coffee powder sold in supermarkets. Although the main direction of his and Merlin's study was wine, they also studied common Western beverages such as coffee and black tea. This made Kyosuke more certain that maid cafes were a scam from beginning to end, and the only feature of the store, the maid service, was completely unattractive in his eyes. He might as well go and have afternoon tea with Nero or Raikou's mother. Both the service staff and the service level were much better than here.

"Well, let me see what time they got here...ah, just in time."

Kyosuke, who originally wanted to take out his cell phone to send an email to Lily, found that the store door was opened, and then there was a group of people standing there. Kyosuke saw Lily and Kirino among them at a glance.

"Hello, Master! Welcome back!"

Greeted by the maid, the offline gathering of otaku girls walked into the cafe one by one. Most of them were dressed in simple clothes, and some even went out in plain clothes, which was unimaginable in a country where almost all women did not wear makeup. Having lived in Japan for so many years, Kyosuke had some understanding of the country's life details and culture. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was even a matter of courtesy for a girl to go out without makeup.

You come out without any makeup and scare people, do you look down on me?

That's probably what it feels like.

But at the same time, some of them wear too heavy makeup, giving people a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Yes, Kyosuke was talking about his beloved sister Kirino. If I remember correctly, I seemed to have mentioned before that you should not dress too fancy when attending offline meetings? Did this girl ignore my words again? You dress yourself up as a very fashionable Teen magazine model (with dyed hair) to attend an otaku gathering, which is as awkward as a group of otakus attending a comic convention and one of them wears a suit and shirt (not a formal dress for cosplay) to go with them.

The first impression given to the team members was that there was a traitor among us.

Of course, her sister is not the only one who stands out among this group of otaku girls. The leader Saori is also one of them. There is nothing wrong with her dressing. She even throws in all kinds of jokes when communicating with the members, and communicates with everyone very happily. And she speaks in a very methodical way. As the leader of the team, she will pay attention to the participation of each member in the conversation, and will try her best to let every member join in the conversation. Even those marginal figures will be taken care of, so it is completely her own fault that Kirino is isolated. She still uses the way she gets along with Ayase and others in school to communicate with these friends with the same interests, completely ignoring the class contradiction between the real people and the otaku.

Of course, what attracts people's attention about Saori is not her temperament as a team leader. There is a person in this group who looks more like a team leader than her. What really makes people care about Saori is her height. A height of 1.8 meters is really scary. Although Kyosuke was prepared, he still felt that her figure was really very bold when he actually saw her. You know, even Altria's queen form is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, and Raikou's mother is only 1.75 meters tall. Saori's height can be said to be the tallest girl Kyosuke has ever seen in his life.

Another impressive person in the team, no, it should be said that the one that Kyosuke specifically looked for was Gokou Ruri, whose nickname was Kuroneko. In fact, it was really hard not to notice her, because she was the only one among all the people who came in a cosplay costume. Obviously, she made the same mistake as Kirino and did not dress correctly to attend the party. If Kirino's dress is very unlike that of a otaku, then Kuroneko's dress is too otaku-like. If it was for a comic convention, it would be okay, but if it was just an offline party, it would be a bit too much. Coupled with the aura that both of them exude, it would be really strange if anyone would take the initiative to talk to these two people.

All I can say is that both of them paid the price for the mistakes they made when they were too young.

No, there is still someone who will take care of these two, to be more precise, it is Kirino. And this person is Lily, who should not be here. The one who is more like the leader of the organization than Saori is her. This time, Kirino will attend the offline meeting because of her.

When Lily saw Kirino's unusual interest, she thought of a roundabout way to save the country. After half a year of this year, Lily was surprised to find that her advantage in capturing Kyousuke, which had been nearly a year ahead of others, had disappeared, and she was even surpassed by a few shameless bitches. In this situation, Lily realized that she had to take the initiative to regain control of Kyousuke.

But she didn't want to learn from Nero or the master and just find a bed to "do" with Kyosuke, because Lily knew that doing it was easy, but it would at most just catch up with the others and she couldn't get the crucial winning points. So in terms of the body, Lily set her goal to let Kyosuke take the initiative, because only in this way could she get her ticket to enter the Takasaka family.

As for Lily's thoughts, Kyosuke feels that "I was the one who took the initiative to have sex with me. I am much better than you who forced me."

Huh? You ask Kyousuke how he knew that?

You have to know that Lily is a typical person who can't hide her thoughts. In the past, she had a dog-headed military strategist Merlin who gave bad advice. Now... Merlin is definitely unreliable. Meili can communicate with her, but since Merlin was found out pretending to be Meili to get information from Lily last time, Lily has given up the idea of ​​discussing with Meili. In Lily's eyes, the other people at the round table are the kind of people who move faster than their brains, and it is not suitable for them to give advice. So now the person Lily is communicating her progress with is actually Kyosuke, the target of the strategy.

All I can say is that the brain is a good thing.

PS: Kawenka is so uncomfortable. It is indeed more difficult to write by following the original work than by writing a completely original plot. Because I always want to write something new, but I can't skip some plot points. I will go through this offline meeting as quickly as possible. If it weren't for the appearance of Kuroneko and Saori, I wouldn't want to write this plot. _(:з」∠)_
