Chapter 23: Gao Wen: Trouble comes from the mouth, regret it later

"Yes, that's it. Be quick."

Gao Wen looked up and directed the round tables he brought with him to repair the ceiling of Kyosuke's bar as quickly as possible.

Kyosuke happened to come out from the backstage of the staff. He went over and patted Gao Wen on the shoulder and said gratefully: "Thank you so much this time."

"It's nothing, we are all brothers."

Gao Wen looked very easygoing, but he actually felt a little awkward. When he received a call from his boss, he thought the other party wanted to find him for something urgent, but it turned out that he wanted him to bring people to repair the house. Gao Wen found that he had become the engineering team leader of his own team without knowing when. Although helping Kyosuke repair the roof was not a problem at all, he felt uneasy no matter how he thought about it.

I won't end up having to make a living under Miss Yukinoshita in the future, right?

Thinking about all the projects he had done recently, Gao Wen always felt that his idea would come true one day.

Of course, what made Gao Wen most sad was the ruthless finishing blow from his boss.

"That's right, that's right. Kyosuke, you don't need to be polite to them. This guy has nothing to do all day. Instead of letting him feed chicken soup to the kids, it's better to let his muscles be put to good use."

Fearing that Gawain and his men would cut corners, Lily, who had been acting as a supervisor, heartlessly mocked Gawain. Her reason was very good. When Mash kicked me out of the house, none of you men helped to intercede. If I don't get some interest back from you, I'm not Pandragon. So since Gawain started working, she has been there to give orders. If she had just given the correct instructions for the project, it would have been fine, but this guy actually asked Gaheris to carve a Peppa Pig on the ceiling. If Kyosuke hadn't discovered it and stopped it in time, I'm afraid that a certain Middle Eastern dog owner would have left some strange habits in the eyes of others.

As for Lily who was angry, Kyosuke could only sigh and not argue with her, silently saying that he would not argue with a child. Then he picked two bottles of Jill's collection from the wine cabinet and stuffed them into Gao Wen's pockets: "It's not good to ask you to help for nothing, so these two bottles of wine are a token of my appreciation."

Gao Wen's eyes lit up when he saw the label on the bottle. He quickly took the bottle and held it carefully in his arms: "I'm so sorry to trouble you, Kyousuke."

Because Lily had agreed to help Gawain fix the ceiling for free when she called him, Kyosuke couldn't give him money directly, and he thought that Gawain would refuse even if he did. So Kyosuke decided to give him two bottles of divine wine (in Gil's language) from the Age of Gods, and Gawain was very satisfied with this gift. Even from his expression, Kyosuke could tell that the wine he gave him was better than money in Gawain's eyes.

"Tsk~ Kyosuke is biased. You won't let me drink this wine."

Lily's mouth curled up when she saw Kyosuke handing out the things. She had wanted to drink these two bottles since the first time she came to Kyosuke's bar, but no matter how she acted cute, she never succeeded. Now someone could get Kyosuke's "gift" just for doing something as small as repairing the ceiling, which really made Lily feel unbalanced.

"Please settle the wine bill first before telling me about this."

Kyosuke glared at Lily in annoyance, but he felt a little distressed by her aggrieved look. In the end, he changed his tone to the gentlest possible and said, "Lily, you can stay at my place for the time being."

Seeing Lily's shining eyes looking at him cutely, Kyosuke quickly added, "But, I have to say but. I don't keep idlers here, so if you want to stay here, you have to help with the work. I'm going to say it in advance, I don't keep freeloaders here."

"Hey?!"

Lily didn't react at once, and it took her a while to realize that she still had to work, which was a big blow to her.

How long has it been since I last worked? It seemed that since I joined the Immortal Class, except for the time when Aguguiwen dragged me to clean the room, there seemed to be no record of me doing anything by myself.

"What are you talking about? You should at least change your lazy personality, and you should also try to get Mashu's forgiveness. I will supervise you, and if you can't return to Camelot before next week, I will kick you out."

"Wow...why is this...Kyosuke is biased!"

Kyosuke's words reminded Lily of Mashu's angry look, which immediately dampened her momentum.

It seems that Mashu's outburst this time really left a deep impression on her. I wonder if Mashu will become the actual owner of [Camelot] in the future. Her Majesty Queen Mashu, it's quite exciting to think about it.

Kyosuke looked at Lily, who was curled up in the corner. She looked a bit like a shivering little white rabbit hiding in the corner. This made him come up with a novel idea that she and Mashu should swap roles.

Seeing that Kyosuke had finished playing the good cop role, Gao Wen began to play the bad cop role himself. His extremely gentle and hoarse voice was full of temptation as he encouraged Lily, "King, don't worry too much. Mashu is just angry for a while at most. She will definitely forgive you when she calms down. But I think that you should really change your principles of behavior. Now you sometimes don't really consider other people's feelings. Fortunately it was Mashu this time. If it was other Heroic Spirits who were not easy to talk to, we might really fight with them. Then we won't just pretend like we did before with the Minamoto family."

"Okay, I understand..."

Lily lowered her head and played with her fingers, nodding in response to Gawain's advice. This time she was really scared. But after hearing the second half of Gawain's words, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"So you guys were letting me win! I was wondering why you couldn't knock down even one person on the other side after such a long time! Go to hell!!!"

Lily uppercut Gawain straight to the chin.

Click.

Kyosuke heard a tooth-grinding sound of bones cracking, and saw that Gawain's entire head was embedded in the ceiling, with only the part below the neck hanging outside. Kyosuke conservatively estimated that this guy at least had a comminuted fracture of the jaw.

But no one except Kyosuke cared about Gao Wen's life or death. Lan Malok, who was in charge of painting, climbed up the ladder calmly with a bucket full of paint. After he climbed to the top, he said to Kyosuke and Lily below: "Wang, Kyosuke, you two should go out first. The work to be done is quite polluting. Come in after we finish."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Lily made an effort gesture towards Lanmalok and pushed Kyosuke, who was still asking "Is Gawain okay?", out of the bar hall.

Chapter 24 Mi Jiang: I want to sleep (?3[▓▓]

It must be said that the efficiency of the round table engineering team led by Gawain was really amazing. They finished the main part of the project in just one afternoon. Although Gawain himself was not involved, at least this guy really didn't help at all except increasing the workload of others (his head poked another hole in the ceiling). Fortunately, at the moment when this guy was beaten by Lily, Gareth, who was following behind him, quickly took the two bottles that Kyosuke gave them into his arms, so that they didn't work for a day in vain.

"There are still a few places that need minor repairs. I'll have Gaheris come over early tomorrow morning to take care of them. Don't worry about the paint. As a proprietary formula, it's completely non-toxic and pollution-free. You can open the business in the evening without any problems."

Because Gawain's chin was tightly bandaged, the task of handing over the project to Kyosuke was given to Gareth. She looked very happy to get this task, because she now had an injured brother in her hands, which was really great! No, it was very regrettable. So Gareth planned to take advantage of this time to take care of his brother, no, to take meticulous care of him. He would try to write his name on his brother's household registration book before his chin was fully healed, and at the very least, he would force his brother to sign the marriage registration.

“Mmm…Mmm…Mmm…”

Gawain struggled hard, and he could immediately read many things from the dangerous look in Gareth's eyes, so he hoped very much that he could stay here in the name of recuperation instead of being taken back to [Camelot] by Gareth, otherwise no one could predict what kind of inhuman treatment he would suffer.

"Bye. Lily is just getting changed, let me say goodbye to you on her behalf."

Kyosuke waved goodbye to Gawain and the others, and subconsciously ignored Gawain's look of pleading for help. In line with the principle of not letting a friend die, Kyosuke could only look at Gawain with apology, saying that he really could not help.

Of course, Gareth secretly said that his coming back here to drink in the future was the main factor that made Kyosuke decide not to care about Gawain's life or death. After all, the customer is God, and God has told him not to care, so how could Kyosuke go against God's will.

"It's okay. The king will be back in two days anyway. It doesn't really matter whether we say goodbye now or not. But Kyousuke, you should come to Camelot once in a while. Mashu really misses you."

"It's not that exaggerated. We saw each other every day when we were in school."

"You can't say that. In school, you are just classmates, right? In Camelot, you have a deeper relationship."

"what relationship?"

Kyosuke was a little curious about what Gareth said, because she had never paid attention to his and Mashu's affairs before.

"They are all dice being manipulated on the gambling table, waiting for others to place bets."

"hehe..."

Hearing Gareth's analogy, Kyosuke could only laugh awkwardly and agree. He hoped from the bottom of his heart that if there was a vision in the heavens, they would send a bolt of lightning to kill these guys who were playing a boring gambling game.

After Gareth left with Gawain and his men, Lily, who had just changed her clothes, finally arrived. Seeing that Kyosuke was the only one left in the hall, she couldn't help but complain in disappointment, "Really? Why did you leave so quickly? At least give me some feedback on my new clothes."

"That's not necessary. I think anything you wear will suit you well, Manager."

"Thank you."

Lily proudly puffed out her chest and calmly accepted Kyosuke's compliment.

However, what Kyosuke said was not entirely flattery, because what he said did make some sense. After all, he had been following Gao Yazi for so long.

At the moment, Lily was wearing a white waiter's uniform with blue edges. Although it was pants instead of a skirt, it concealed her beauty, but it made Lily's heroic side stand out more. And more importantly, because of her age, Lily's figure was not as curvy as before, which made her current state more likely to confuse some girls. For example, several people were coming out now.

"Well, big brother, let's go back too. Ah, Sister Lily, you look so handsome in this outfit!"

After a day of quarreling with Kuroneko, no, a day of appreciation meeting, Kirino took Saori and Kuroneko home, because the next time was the bar's opening time, and it was not convenient for the three junior high school students to stay any longer. Especially Saori and Kuroneko, they were obedient children and their families were conservative. If their families knew that they stayed in the bar at night, who knew what would happen.

"No matter how many times I use that home theater equipment, I will feel very shocked. It is really a great experience, Kyousuke-san~"

It has become a routine for Saori to praise the home video equipment to Kyosuke every time she finishes.

"Don't you have this at home?"

Kyosuke felt a little strange. If he remembered correctly, wasn't this girl a genuine eldest lady?

"My parents are not very interested in this area, so I can't compare to Kyousuke in terms of equipment."

"Is it……"

"Goodbye then, and thank you for the treat."

Kuroneko bowed to Kyosuke very formally to express her gratitude. It was her belief that one should be grateful for the favors done by others.

"It's okay. I want to thank you for taking care of Kirino. This girl has never given me peace of mind since she was a child."

"How can a brother say that about his lovely sister?"

After hearing Kyosuke's comments, Kirino showed her little fangs and made a very fierce expression.

"Okay, go back obediently."

Kirino's complaints were like gentle breeze and drizzle, Kyosuke didn't care at all and waved goodbye to his sister.

"Okay, everyone has left, I'll take a break too."

After Black Cat and the others left, Lily immediately took off her image of a reliable big sister and lay lazily on the sofa.

"Hey! Go get some work done. I don't want to keep people who just sit around eating."

Kyosuke was very unhappy to see Lily slacking off.

"It's still early for the guests to arrive. Let me get some sleep first and wait for them to call me for dinner. Huh-huh-"

After saying that, Lily ignored Kyosuke and started snoring.

You can't even pretend to be asleep properly.

Kyosuke shook his head, he felt that Lily still didn't fully realize her mistake. Then he took the phone and sent an email to everyone except his family and classmates to invite them to his bar. Although they had never been to his bar except for a few, it wouldn't lose money to send an invitation. Since he was ready to work hard, he had to have some popularity, otherwise he would have no basis to support it even if he found an official agent.

However, when this group of people actually came to the bar to drink, Kyosuke immediately regretted his choice.

PS: I couldn't sleep until 3 o'clock last night, and I had to go to work during the day. I was going to take a day off today, but I couldn't bear to do so. I spent my life to finish these two chapters. Now I'm going to sleep, good night everyone. (?3[▓▓]

Chapter 25 Alexander: This is not fear, this is love!

"Hahaha! The wine here is really good! If I had known, I should have come here to drink earlier."

Alexander laughed after drinking a large glass of draft beer. For him, having a place where he could drink to his heart's content was really the best thing.

"I say, this is a classy place anyway, you should at least order some wine, what's wrong with ordering draft beer?"

Kyosuke wiped the cup and looked at the burly man in front of him with disdain. He didn't expect that his invitation would bring this guy over, and this guy only ordered the cheapest beer from beginning to end and didn't even look at other wines.

Alexander burped, and his face turned slightly red because of the wine: "What does it matter? The main thing is that the wine is enough, and you can drink more beer or something like that."

"And the truth?"

“I bought the deluxe limited edition of Grand Strategy V, but I got caught. So now I can only afford draft beer with my pocket money.”

Alexander was feeling a little depressed. He had not expected his deputy to be so cruel. Aren't you secretly playing the game I bought? If you have the guts, don't drive the console I bought!

"I always feel like you and Jill are so similar, both of you are henpecked."
