Currently, the bandits are having their emergency meeting at the Mousseux’s kitchen. The sole and big problem that they are facing is the arrival of Princess Meriyal Breille and Demon Lord Ivy Hellbeing, plus, the two gorgeous knights that can overthrow their host club.

Mika is still out in the guest room as a mediator for the guests while Victoria was left alone to entertain them as much as possible. Eiru is now being a slave for Ivy and Hansen is likewise for Meriyal.

The rest, all of them gathered at a circular table with the light shut off and black curtain blocking any sunlight from entering

“Listen to me my brethren, our livelihood depends on this! If by any chance, all the other girls we are hosting right now get turned off, surely they will steer away!” Falikh announces as he slams his palm on the table.

“Sir, what is the name of the operation?!” Sod asked while saluting.

“We also need a name!” Mes followed as he gestures the same salute.

“I see, that’s important.” Falikh muttered as he contemplates.

“That’s important for you?” Teth said with knitted brows. “I am just cooking here and all of you suddenly barges like madmen. Anyway, where’s Eiru and Hansen?” he added.

None even searched for Spoof.

“Stalling.” Furan immediately answered. “I can’t let all of my housewives to go home without experiencing the fun!” he rushed his words with fervor.

“We don’t offer that kind of passionate fun.” Morio expelled Furan’s statement.

“I got it! This is OPERATION: LOST!” Falikh grandly announces. “And our battalion name is The Knights of Circular Table!” He added as he did a grandiose pose.

“UOOOOHHHH! The Knights of Circular Table! Is it because the table is round?!” Amadeo asked as he gets fired up.

“Idiot! You shouldn’t ask that! It’s not round, it’s circular! We are overstepping our bounds here if we did that!” Falikh made a quick scolding.

“My apologies, Leader!” Amadeo quickly said his sorry.

“Then, how about the Knights of Circular Kitchen Table!? We that, we added another word!” Zirk comes up with a brilliant idea.

“That’s it! We are coming off as more original than expected! Bwahahaha!” Falikh exclaimed with a maniacal laughter.

“Wait! We’re not going anywhere! If we keep thinking up for names, this meeting is going to be prolonged! We will lose profit and needless to say, our chance to earn more in the future.” Reld suddenly intervenes with twitching cheeks.

“Wait! We are not Knights but Bandits! Shouldn’t the name Bandits of the Circular Kitchen Table is more befitting and correct?” Sod exclaimed.

“Idiot, you got it wrong! It should be Bandits of Circular Kitchen Table, not Bandits of the Circular Kitchen Table!” Med corrected Sod.

“Hey, isn’t adding the extra the looks promising? Like, the name is now longer even though we changed the Knights to Bandits!” Furan keenly gave his observation and suggestion.

“Ah!~ The sound of that name! It inspires my heart! The Bandits of the Circular Kitchen Table! It’s a name befitting for a tale.” Morio started thinking up for a song about the name as he strums his lute.

“Quiet! People, why are we even fighting about this?!” Falikh once again slams his palm on the table the drew everyone’s attention.

“Finally…Leader is getting serious.” Reld breathed a sigh of relief.

“The Circular Kitchen Table of the Bandits! That’s a more fitting name now even though I jumbled some words!” Falikh angrily said as he laid down a paper with the exact words written on it.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

“As expected of Leader!” Amadeo said as he stares at the words with amazement.

“I never thought about that. It is as Leader says, that sounds the best out of our suggestion. I can think no more of something better.” Zirk emphasizes the greatness of the name as he looks up to the ceiling while rejoicing.

“My brethren, my comrades, the battle was hard, but…in the end, we were able to grasp the light at the end of the tunnel. May this turns into a dust of hope for everyone.” Furan said with lamentation painted all over his face.

“Ah, the tale has ended. This story will be told for generations to come. How moving…” Morio said as he shed tears of happiness.

“Mes, it may have been for a while but I’m glad I fought beside you, brother.” Sod said as he places his hand on Mes’ shoulder.

“Truly is a fight to remember for decades. It’s my honor to fight with everyone here.” Mes said as he gave everyone a glance.

“Everyone…thank you…for lending your strength! Now, we have brought peace to the world. We, The Bandits of the Circular Kitchen Table, are now returning to our daily lives as we took down the evil.” Falikh thanked everyone from the bottom of his heart.

“DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNNITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!” Reld shouted from the bottom of his lungs, like, literally, his lungs will come out of his throat. Veins popped on his forehead and neck and his face is painted with red as his anger rises.

“Don’t die here in my kitchen…” Teth simply mutters as he shakes his head at the stupid antics.

“Now, now, Dick, don’t be a spoilsport. We just got carried away a little with our roleplaying.” Falikh smiled teasingly.

“Leader! We don’t have time to spare! Tell us already about the plan!” Reld angrily beckons Falikh to cough up a plan that could reverse the situation.

“Tch, tch, Dick…you still don’t know the Bandit Host Club Codex well, do you?” Zirk said with a smug.

“We have such thing?!” Reld rushes to Zirk and grab his collar. “And don’t call me Dick!” He added.

“If Dick is unaware, then you should try to rack your brain and figure out why we are in the kitchen at the moment. Teth, please.” Falikh said with a same smug as he beckons Teth to bring out something.

“You already had a plan from the start?!” Reld shouted in yet, aggravating anger.

All of the bandits inside except Teth blared a confident smile.

“Hahaha! Who the hell do you think I am?” Falikh showed a fearless smile.

Meanwhile, back at the guest room where the host party is being commenced.

“Have they given up already? It’s taking them quite a while to come out.” Meriyal uttered to herself as she relaxes while Hansen is giving her a massage. “No matter, with this, the foolery they made will sure to collapse.” She added.

“Fufufu, that’s a little cruel Meriyal, however, that’s what I expected from you. I don’t want other girls gawking at my Eiru too.” Ivy said as she rubs her cheeks on Eiru’s head.

“My Lady…that hurts…you don’t plan on sinking your fangs on my neck, right?” Eiru asked.

“Hmm? Who knows?” Ivy playfully replied.

At that moment, the door going to the kitchen suddenly opened that it drew everyone’s attention. Even Meriyal and Ivy have their eyes locked on the said door.

“It’s here.” Mika quietly muttered to his self.

Footsteps of several people resounded. The girls become livid as they saw the bandits emerging from the door, albeit, got a little shocked as everyone is wearing a long hooded cape blocking anything aside from their obscured faces.

With Falikh on the lead, without hesitation, they gathered around Meriyal and Ivy. Seeing that all of them has no intention of giving up, Meriyal made a slight smirk.

“Oh…what does granny have in mind? This is getting interesting.” Victoria said as she leans her face closer to their direction while holding several girls on his arms.

“Color me surprised. All of you marched here in a creepy robe. What is this, a parade?” Meriyal mocked as she leans her back on the couch and exudes her mighty domineering aura.

“You won’t be laughing for long! Everyone!” Falikh said as the whole bandit puts their hands inside their robe.

“Finishing move!” Falikh shouted with eyes full of determination.

The caped bandits then all followed Falikh’s lead and withdrew their robes and fully showed what under it.

Then, it caused an uproar among the female audiences, each and every girl in that place has their eyes bulging out or their jaws dropping. Some even started drooling and their faces were set aflame.

“Bulge…” One girl exclaimed in the middle of the clamor.

“NAKED APRON!” Falikh shouted as they reveal their secrets.

At that moment, Mika broke out in an evil smile and Victoria showed a really joyful face as the scene unfolding is comedy gold.

Each and every bandit is wearing nothing but apron that boldly shows their buttock and firmly hides their nether regions, albeit…bulging.

“How’s that?! Princess Meriyal?!” Falikh asked with a victorious smile.

“Ah…it’s fine now leader…Meriyal is…” Hansen said as he pointed something to Falikh. “Meriyal lost…consciousness while her eyes are wide open…” he added while sweat pours down from his forehead.

“Ah…Ivy! The naked apron is overbearing for her too!” Eiru exclaimed as he wipes Ivy’s bleeding nose frantically. Her eyes are someone who has ascended to the next life with enlightenment.

“Namu.” The bald bandit, Marc, said.

BAM!

Another door was slammed open and came a rushing Reysha with a pale face.

“Emergency! We need to….” However, before Reysha could even afford to say what she needs to say, she came to a halt at the view in front of her.

At that moment, Falikh felt an impending doom as Reysha’s face is twisted in rage.

“What the hell…are you guys doing…?” Reysha said with a cold and unmoving countenance while drawing a bastard sword in her dimensional storage.

Ries and Lala who are watching…could only smile frigidly.
