After a while of struggling, Miura, with messy hair, finally opened the door, but she only opened a tiny gap, just enough for her to stick her head out.
"Sorry, Kyousuke. I'll be right there. You can go to the restaurant first."
Kyosuke noticed that Miura's head was a little lower than usual, and judging by the movement of her shoulders, she seemed to be rubbing them.
"Hey, are you okay? Do you want me to help you?"
“No, no. I just got scared all of a sudden and accidentally fell down the stairs… hehe.”
Miura explained to Kyosuke with an awkward smile.
"stairs?"
"No, it's the bed. You see, I'm getting a little tongue-tied.
"You..." Kyosuke looked at Miura helplessly, "You really don't need my help?"
Kyosuke looked inside the room. He didn't have any special thoughts, he just wanted to see if there was anything heavy that had fallen down and he needed help. He also wanted to check if Miura himself was seriously injured.
However, after noticing Kyosuke's intention, Miura immediately used his body to block the interior of the room behind him, and the already thin gap in the door was closed a little more.
"It's okay, I'll just clean up and come back."
"All right……"
Seeing that Miura was so persistent, Kyosuke didn't want to go too far, so he could only give up the idea of helping Miura.
"I'm going down first."
After confirming that Kyosuke really walked down the stairs, Miura breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door.
"Ah~ I always feel like I'm redundant."
Standing in the middle of the stairs, Kyosuke sighed helplessly.
------------
The dining table at Miura's house is smaller than that at Kosaka's house. It is a standard square table for four people. This may be because there are only four permanent residents at Kosaka's house. Miura's house is much quieter. Besides Kyosuke, there are only Miura and Rie at the table. According to Miura, her father is away on business for a long time, so usually she and her mother are the only ones at home. It seems that there is a reason why Rie is a frequent customer of [Camelot]. After all, it is always lonely to be alone at home. At least [Camelot] is much faster than those shops with underworld backgrounds - even though the boss lady herself is the leader of the largest underworld organization in the UK.
"Um……"
Kyosuke chewed the rice in his mouth and looked curiously at Miura and Rie.
"Kyosuke, what's wrong? Is my cooking not good enough?"
“No, it’s delicious…”
Kyosuke quickly shook his head.
Kanao's cooking skills other than curry are just average, but curry is too monotonous. After eating it for so many years, Kyosuke has already developed a deep hatred for curry.
It's just that Kyousuke rarely eats dinner at home unless it's necessary, just to avoid falling into curry hell. However, it doesn't matter, Kanano makes curry in the morning quite a few times.
Fortunately, Kano and Haruno have been hanging out more frequently recently, and Kano has learned a lot of interesting new dishes from Haruno, which saved the Takasaka family from being liberated from curry hell.
"No, Auntie, your cooking is...excellent."
Kyosuke shrank back in fear at the black energy coming out of Rie.
"Kyosuke, you should call me sister. Oh~ Of course, I don't mind if you call me mom."
"I understand... Sister Rie."
Kyosuke looked at Miura and hesitated for a moment before finally changing his words. Actually, it was easier for Kyosuke to call Rie Sister. The reason why he called her Auntie was because he considered Miura's feelings.
"Wait a minute, Mom. Why do you want Kyousuke to call you sister? If you do that, won't the generations be messed up?"
As expected, Miura immediately raised his objection.
"But I'm not old enough to be called auntie."
Lihui held her face and said nonchalantly, "Actually, Yumiko, I wouldn't mind if you call mom my sister."
"Why don't you just agree to my request and call me mom, Kyousuke?"
[No way. ]
Kyousuke responded with silence.
"I think Yumiko also hopes that Kyosuke can call me mom, right?"
As she said this, Rie looked at her daughter with a sly smile.
"It's too early..."
Miura bit her chopsticks, her red cheeks looking indescribably cute. The usually arrogant Fire Queen turned into a shy girl in love.
"Ah, Kyosuke, look, my Yumiko agreed."
"No... no! Kyousuke, don't listen to what my mother says!"
Looking at the dancing Miura Kyosuke shook his head at Rie, "Please stop joking, Sister Rie."
Rie obviously had no intention of letting Kyosuke go. "Kyosuke really sides with Yumiko. He spoke up for her as soon as he entered the house."
[So you are planning to sell your daughter? ]
"Sister Rihui, aren't you too enthusiastic in promoting Miura? Your daughter is very talented and doesn't need to rely on me for support, right?"
"No way." Rie shook her hand to deny Kyosuke's words, "Kyosuke, don't you know that Yumiko is actually--"
Seeing that her mother was about to expose her scandal, Miura interrupted Rie, "That's enough! Mom, you've been talking too much today!"
"Hey~ I was just about to get to the exciting part."
"No, Kyousuke doesn't need to know about this kind of thing."
"Tsk, what a shame."
Lihui picked up her bowl regretfully and took two mouthfuls of rice in frustration, but it was clear from her expression that she would not give up. She would probably reopen the topic as long as there was a slight excuse.
[I always feel like all mothers in the world are the same...]
Kyosuke always felt that this scene had a strong sense of déjà vu, and then he found that whether it was himself, Yukino, or Eriri, it seemed that this happened to them all. It seemed that all mothers had a hobby of exposing their children's embarrassing stories, but they just had different preferences.
Kanao likes to say that she will expose all of Kyosuke's privacy to the relatives and friends around her. As long as there is explosive news, she doesn't care what kind of person her son will become in the eyes of the neighbors.
As for Fumino, she likes to make fun of Yukino's childhood. Kyosuke guessed that this was probably because she was no longer close to him after Yukino went to school, so there was no material to make fun of. Because after their mother-daughter relationship eased, Fumino started to mention what happened to Yukino recently.
As for Sayuri, how should I describe it? It's probably because I've been hanging out with Eriri for so long that she probably thinks of me as half her child. Whenever I want to tease her, I usually bring Eriri and me together. But recently, it seems that Mordred often hangs out with Sayuri. Anyway, I heard from Eriri that her mother likes to bring Mordred with her more recently.
The last one in front of me...
"Kyosuke, what are you looking at? That's very rude."
“No.”
"No, you obviously did. You must have been thinking something very rude just now."
"Really not..."
Rie smiled as she watched Yumiko and Kyosuke quarrelling. "As expected, you two are a perfect match. Why don't you just get married right after you graduate?"
"Mom, why are you talking about this now? It's too early!"
"Sister Rie, please don't make such an excessive joke, okay?! Miura and I..."
"Wait a minute, Kyosuke!" Miura glared at Kyosuke, "What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm not worthy of you?!"
Kyosuke was almost choked by Miura's words, "No, you misunderstood..."
"Really..." Rie looked at the quarrel between Kyosuke and Miura and picked up her bowl again helplessly, "When it comes to pleasing girls, Kyosuke, you are still a little behind Lord Lancelot."
···
"Ah - sneeze!"
Lancelot sneezed loudly. He blew his nose and looked at himself, who was wearing nothing but a pair of boxer briefs. He pleaded pitifully to Mashu: "Mashu, I am your father after all. Can you please——"
"No." Mashu rejected Lancelot directly. She took out a hood and put it on her father's head. "Letting you wear shorts is already giving you face. This is a punishment, not a trip. Just make do with it."
After carefully checking that the chain around Lancelot's neck was tightened, Mash made an OK gesture to Lily who was already starting the motorcycle in front.
Lancelot wanted to make one last struggle. His voice was a little muffled through the mask, "Mashu, I really am helpless—Ahhh—————!"
Before the camel could finish his words, Lily's motorcycle leapt forward.
Listening to the tenor-like screams of her father, Mash smiled and waved goodbye to the East Starion: "Bye, have a safe trip!"
"Alright." Mashu put down her hand only after the East Starion disappeared at the end of the horizon and could no longer be seen. "Then we have to go find Senior. You'd better behave yourself. Otherwise, it won't be difficult for the king to come back and drag you away with him."
PS: Only one update today, Mi-chan has to start catching up on her homework. I slacked off too much in the first few days of this week, and I have to hand it in next weekend. _(:з」∠)_
Chapter 68 Miura: Shouldn’t I be the protagonist in this volume?
"I don't know! Kyousuke isn't here with me!"
Minamoto no Raikou's voice on the other end of the phone sounded quite irritated, and his words were full of impatience.
"Will you promise? You know, I have contacted several people since I came here, but I haven't heard any news from you, senior."
Mashu wouldn't believe anything just because it was said by the other person.
"I'd like to have Kyousuke here with me! That way I'll have an excuse - ah! Why are there so many documents again! Sadamitsu, are you kidding me?"
Then Sadamitsu's unclear voice came from the receiver, probably because Sadamitsu was too far away from the receiver. But Mashu still heard the general idea, and it seemed that even if Kyosuke was really in the Minamoto family, Minamoto Raikou probably didn't have the energy and time to do anything to him.
Sure enough, after Sadamitsu's voice disappeared, Minamoto no Raikou shouted at Mashu in a very angry manner: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. If you know where Kyousuke is, send him to me! Just like this."
Doodle.
Listening to the busy tone coming from the receiver, Mashu curled her lips in disdain: "You are dreaming."
Mashu put down her phone and crossed out Minamoto no Raikou's name in her notebook. The notebook was filled with names, but most of them were crossed out, with a few names occasionally having question marks next to them.
"You're not at the old cow's place either. This is really interesting." Mash tapped the notebook with the tip of her pen, and the smile on her face grew wider and wider. "So where are you?"
Mashu had just asked all the people who might take Kyosuke in, but Kyosuke was not with them, which made Mashu a little strange. Based on the financial resources in Kyosuke's hands and his slightly stingy consumption concept, Mashu did not think that Kyosuke would spend his own money to stay in a hotel, which meant that Kyosuke would definitely find someone to stay with him, but she had called and asked all her acquaintances but no one had replied.
Even Altria Mashu, who had just taken Lancelot on a trip around Japan, called to ask, but the news she got was still that Kyosuke was not there.
Although there were a few people that Mashu had doubts about, she also felt that it was unlikely that Kyosuke would stay at those people's homes.
"Who else is there...wait a minute..."
