Chapter 20 Lily: Help me, Kyosuke.
Gogen Ruri is a junior high school girl who couldn't be more ordinary. She is neither the daughter of a wealthy family nor the kind of girl from a poor family where survival is a problem. In her own words, she comes from a middle-class family with clean hands.
In order to supplement the family income, Liuli often worked in a bookstore. This was the only way for her to help her family. Of course, she also submitted light novels to various libraries and even dreamed of becoming a writer. But compared to beautiful dreams, reality is always so cruel. She failed to enter the final selection for the three consecutive years of submissions to the library's newcomer award. This hurt her, especially when she saw the novel called "The War of Magic and Technology" (Zaimokuza's version of Magical Index), which was so poorly written that it could sell hundreds of thousands of copies. She really felt very unwilling.
In her opinion, the novel has nothing to offer except for its good ideas and exquisite illustrations. The writing is only slightly better than toilet paper, and at most it can be considered fluent. The common point between the two is the extreme flattery of otakus. This series is more like a collection of settings of girls that otakus like than a novel. I heard that this author was introduced to the field of writing by her idol, Kasumi Shiko, which made her feel that the other party had completely wasted her idol's support. I don't know if Kasumi Shiko regrets her decision now.
"Really? What am I thinking?" Liuli sighed as she looked at the rejected manuscript in Zi's hand. "You're finding fault with others like this. Am I really jealous after all? It's really too ugly."
Liuli put the manuscript back into her bag, planning to revise it for who knows how many times and then submit it to the library again during the next newcomer award ceremony.
"I have to hold an appreciation meeting with that popular girl again. Saori is really something. She has held it so many times. If I don't like something, I just don't like it. Why do I have to hurt my eyes? It's a waste to watch an animation for children with that kind of equipment."
Liuli complained while pressing the button for the top floor of the elevator. Although it was summer vacation, there was no one in the elevator of the mall except her. After all, the consumption level of ordinary students could not afford the consumption of this high-end mall. However, Liuli did not come here to consume, but to attend the appreciation meeting held by her friend Kosaka Kirino. Although she had no interest in the content of the animation to be played at the appreciation meeting, Liuli said that she would participate reluctantly for the sake of having a friend to communicate with. And she might have the opportunity to watch "maschera" with the equipment that she could never afford in her lifetime, but this alone was worth her coming here specially in the summer.
However, when Ruri used the temporary key given to her by senior Kousaka to open the door of the bar which was closed due to non-business hours, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. She saw two women with golden hair hugging the thighs of Kousaka Kyosuke, the manager of the bar and the brother of her friend Kousaka Kirino, and begging for something.
One of them was known to Liuli. Like Kirino, she was a friend she met online, Miss Lily. This girl, who had pure British aristocratic blood but spoke fluent Japanese, was a real aristocratic lady that Liuli knew. However, just like Saori, who she originally thought was a daughter of an aristocrat but turned out to be a Showa otaku, Lily's existence was entirely to break Liuli's fantasy of a lady. It's not that Miss Lily was sloppy. In fact, Lily could be said to be a very heroic and capable woman. Although she was only sixteen years old, she gave people a very reassuring feeling, and people could believe in and support her from the bottom of their hearts. And she never let people down, unless the matter had something to do with the Kosaka brothers and sisters.
In her interactions with Lily, Liuli has clearly understood that she is a fan of Kosaka. The noble, elegant and grateful white lotus is just a mask of this senior. Her true face is actually just a love-crazy person whose love is still at the stage of girls' comics theory. Whenever anything involves the Kosaka brothers and sisters, Miss Lily will become at a loss and have a nervous breakdown. Liuli has seen it with her own eyes. In order to attract the attention of Senior Kyosuke, Miss Lily deliberately fell on the non-slip floor, hoping that Senior Kyosuke would help her up. Unfortunately, her acting skills were too poor and she fell too close to Kyosuke, so she almost pushed Senior Kyosuke out of the window of the building, which turned into a murder.
But even so, Miss Lily at least maintained relative reserve and dignity in front of Senior Kyosuke. The way she was now, crying and sobbing directly on Senior Kyosuke's thigh was really beyond Liuli's expectations.
So what's going on today?
Before Liuli could ask her own question, Lily spoke first and cried to Kyosuke, "Kyosuke, you can't just stand by and watch us die! Mordred and I have been kicked out of our home, you must take us in! Otherwise we will have to live on the streets, you can't bear to see me sleeping under the bridge, can you?"
"Sleeping under a bridge is too much! Even if Agguiwen is angry, the most he can do is to make you reflect on your mistakes or go on a diet. How can he not let you go home and sleep?"
Kyosuke would not be fooled by these two actors. Aguguiwen was Lily's most trusted minister after all, and this chief eunuch would not do anything to shut out his master. He wanted to pull his legs out of the two people's arms, but the two golden-haired men held him tightly and he couldn't move. He couldn't even drag these two people to walk.
"Senior, what's going on?"
"How should I know? I wanted to ask them." Kyosuke saw that the person who came was Kuroneko, so he greeted her warmly, "You are here to look for Kirino, right? She is already inside. You can just go in and find her."
"Okay, see you later."
Liuli hesitated for a while, and finally decided not to wade into this muddy water that was obviously full of landmines.
"Kyosuke, please!"
After seeing the black cat leave, Lily knew that no one would bother her now, so she did something even more unscrupulous. Seeing Lily blowing her nose on her expensive trousers, Kyosuke felt extremely distressed.
This thing is not easy to wash!
But Lily didn't understand Kyosuke's inner struggle at all, she just shook her head and begged for Kyosuke's approval: "It's useless, this time Agugui Wenqing can't do anything, because the one who gave the order to kick us out this time was Mashu-chan!! "
"Forehead……"
Kyosuke was speechless immediately. He had a deep understanding of how scary Mashu was when she was angry. But the fact that Mashu was so angry that she drove both of them out showed how much trouble these two golden retrievers had caused. You should know that Mashu was usually quite kind and friendly to everyone except Lancelot, especially to everyone in Camelot, because in Mashu's eyes, everyone at the round table was her family. It was precisely because of this that Mashu was even more scary when she was angry. Should we say that this just proves the argument that honest people are the scariest when they get angry?
"What did you two do?"
Kyosuke felt that these two must have done something that angered God and man to make Mashu so angry, and he urgently wanted to know what mistakes these two had made.
Lily and Mordred both froze after hearing Kyosuke's question. They turned their heads away embarrassedly and dared not look Kyosuke in the eye. Mordred even tried to get away with it by smiling foolishly.
Haha, it seems like you’ve caused quite a bit of trouble.
"Okay, I'll talk to Mashu and see if we can let you go back. Sleeping on the street is not a solution."
"Kyosuke, you are really a good person~"
Seeing this, Mordred used even more force to hold Kyosuke's thighs. Kyosuke even wondered if the other party was planning to break his thigh bone.
Can you two let go first! My legs are almost broken! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Soon, Kyosuke called Mashu: "Moshi Moshi, is this Mashu-chan?"
"Ah, it's you, Senior. How strange! What do you want to talk to me about? Is your bar short of people and you want me to help?"
Mashu was delighted when she saw the caller number was Kyousuke.
"I don't need your help for now, it's just..." Kyosuke looked down at the two father and son who were still hugging his legs, hesitated for a moment and said to Mash, "Um... Mordred and the manager..."
"If the senior is here to ask for them, forget it. I will never forgive them."
After hearing Kyosuke's words, Mashu's originally happy tone immediately turned cold, and the speed of the change was so fast that even Kyosuke did not expect it.
You seem really angry... What did you two do? Didn't you plan to make Mash dance hula while traveling?
Kyosuke looked down at the two people who were still hugging their legs and grinning foolishly. For a moment, he wanted to just give up on the father and son and stop caring about their affairs. But in the end, out of moral considerations, he still tried to persuade Mashu to forgive the two.
"Mashu, you may have some misunderstandings. That's not what I meant. It's just that the two of them came to me and made a scene. So I feel a little strange. No matter how big a mess they made, they shouldn't be kicked out of Camelot, right? Can I ask why?"
"What? Senior, are you planning to take them in?"
Kyosuke couldn't believe that the person who said this was Mashu. He quickly refused into the receiver, "No, no, no, I don't want to take this guy in at all. So I want to ask what mistakes they made and whether it can be remedied. If possible, let them go home and sleep."
"No, what I'm saying is that these two guys who can do such outrageous things will definitely bring disaster to your store. So it's better to drive them away as soon as possible."
Hey, you're exaggerating, aren't you? They're not Mephisto, the explosion maniac. At most, they just like to fire light cannons.
"Forget it. I think I know what you mean. Just give them the phone."
Mashu's warmer tone made Kyosuke mistakenly believe that Mashu had forgiven Lily and the others, so he handed over the phone. However, in the end, Mashu only said one sentence: "You two don't cause trouble for the seniors, just die outside!"
beep - beep - beep -
Kyosuke was a little confused when he heard the busy tone on his phone.
How big is this hatred?
Kyosuke quickly called back and wanted Mashu to explain to him, but the only response he got was "The number you dialed is busy."
"What on earth did you do?"
Kyosuke now has the urge to fuck Poi, not to mention that Mashu has broken off their friendship with him again because of these two people.
"Haha, the weather is nice today. I'm going to look for Sayuri. I won't be back tonight."
Mordred saw that the situation was not good and quickly retreated. Anyway, this place was not her first choice. If her father had not forced her to come here, she would have wanted to spend the night at Eriri's house.
"Hey!" Lily was very dissatisfied when she saw that her wild boy had abandoned her.
"Since Black Cat is here, I'll go play with them. Sister Kirino said there's an appreciation meeting today."
Lily made up her mind to sleep here tonight no matter how shameless she was, otherwise she would really be homeless.
Wait, this might be a good opportunity to get close to Kyosuke, I might as well find a reason to go home with Kirino and Kyosuke later. You, a slutty fox, sleep in Kyosuke's room, why can't I sleep in it? It's said that I will definitely encounter a situation where Kyosuke will come to attack me at night when he is half asleep, wouldn't that be exactly what I want?
Kyosuke looked at Lily, who had a bitter face, and suddenly became very excited. He was a little confused. Could it be that this guy had also fallen into the otaku way? He was so happy even when watching a movie.
Although the father and son had brought this upon themselves, he still felt that he could not stand by and watch them perish for moral reasons, so he first sent an email to Mashu, hoping that she could explain, but there was still no response.
Then Kyosuke called Bedivere and Gawain again. The two people, who were originally very happy to receive Kyosuke's call, immediately changed their expressions after hearing Kyosuke's question and quickly said that they didn't know and hung up the phone.
In the end, Kyosuke had no choice but to call Aguiwen, hoping that the person who actually holds power in Camelot could give him an answer.
If possible, Kyosuke didn't want to call him because he had played a trick on this nice guy when he resigned last time. So when Kyosuke called him this time, he seemed very nervous.
"Moses, is that Agaguiwen?"
"Ah, it's Kyousuke. Long time no see, why are you calling me? Are you having problems running the bar?"
"This one is pretty good..."
Kyosuke didn't expect that Aguguiwen would tell him this first. This concern made him feel a little guilty.
"Why are you embarrassed to talk to me? I know that your bar's performance has not been improving."
"Um..."
Kyosuke was too embarrassed to say that he didn't run the bar seriously at all, otherwise there wouldn't be only four members including himself.
"It's okay, I'm telling you..."
Agguiwen thought Kyosuke was too shy to speak, so he took the initiative to discuss the bar's business strategy with him, which made it impossible for Kyosuke to ask his own questions.
Also, whether it's Matthew or Aguguiwen, why do you all think that I'm not doing a good job here? Am I really that bad?
Kyosuke couldn't help but think of this question while recording his conversation with Aguiwen.
PS: Today's daily chapter feels a bit hard to divide, so I'll just post it in one chapter. However, the word count is still 4K2, and Mi-chan didn't get lazy and update less (thumbs up).
Chapter 21 Mordred: Are you stupid? Kyosuke is not as important as his father
"...That's about it. These are the only experiences I can teach you. The rest you have to figure out on your own."
Kyosuke felt a little embarrassed looking at the notebook full of his own writing. Just now, Aguiwen really taught him a lot about his own experience in running a bar, which made Kyosuke feel really guilty for deceiving the other party before.
"Thank you, Aguwen. I'm really sorry for what happened before."
"Ah? Oh, you mean that? It doesn't matter. I have already forgotten what happened last time. I would have forgotten it if you hadn't mentioned it."
Agguiwen laughed out loud, he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
"Well...Aguguiwen, you are really something."
Kyosuke could only echo the other party with an awkward smile.
