I’m just happy to find Kenneth’s route. Kenneth x Latte is funny in the platonic route and sweet in the alternate route! One day I’ll most likely make content for them, and or commission or request someone to do some.

Latte: You're blocking the view

Kenneth: I AM the view

Miss not so sidekick, chapter 83 - 84

our curious like a cat Latte-chan start chasing Ibelin again. How unfaithful you are Latte, even though your hubby is under siege on his tower by pretty lady's attack (eh, he can just teleport if he wants). But Latte's consideration for Bishot makes her venturing outside alone....uhhhhh, well, she's bringing scrolls, so nothing bad will happen right? (if there are, we counting you and your stalker magic ball, Arwin! you've revealed your cards you know!)

Latte didn't met danger, but she met Kenneth. Hmmm hmmmm, Kenneth didn't treated her as rudely as usual (maybe because he sees Arwin treats her nicely? he said having relationship with people in power is good thing previously), but he's not exactly polite either.....grrrr. Ah okay, he had bad memories with stalker-fans everywhere, so let's just leave it. However, this time Kenneth's problem came from the other gender. Count is-that-even-a-name.....umm, I meant count whoyoufromwhere appear and berated Kenneth for improper handling of a stalker lady. The same stalker lady that almost attack Latte.

so our dear Latte, justice defender, step up in Kenneth's defense (Latte looks small! and cute! dude, how tall is this Kenneth boi?).......Kenneth.......apparently has been infected by Latte's.....crazy antics, going along with her just like that, even clapping at her rappin' (oh no, I'm startin to infected as well yoyoyo!)

we're honestly expectin more comedy acts going, but Latte seems took this case quite seriously on Kenneth behalf. Apparently Kenneth is more of tragic figure than we thinks (we honestly thinks he's but a prick that picking on our cute Latte), but Latte-bless her heart, thinks Kenneth who surrounded by crazy fangirls and cannot raise any hand to defend himself (and will be scolded by society who thinks men must be nice to girls no matter what they did, they're girls, what can they do?) is to be pitied.

count whoyoufromwhere quickly bailed out and Latte said she wanted to be Kenneth's friend

Kenneth is more interested in the tragic figure that Latte used as example in her argument with count whoyoufromwhere (I like this name) maybe because he thinks he found someone relatable (so, he's like that super handsome star with crazy obsessive cricket fans.....that still doesn't excuse you for leaving Latte in front of orcs alone grrrr (well, the orc are binded with his haki, but still......)

Latte advise Kenneth to maybe broaden his social circle more. Y'see, Kenneth seemingly categorize women into two types = those that bold enough to approach him - and usually the same one that became obsessed with him and became crazy stalker fans; and second are the women that didn't dare approach him and therefore insignificant/not exist in his eyes (whoa! quite dichotomy you got there Kenneth)

Latte monologuing how it's kind of unfair for the novel author to make Kenneth suffer a horrifying background as his setting just to contrast those girl with pure angelic Ibelin and make Kenneth feel 'oh how different she is from all other girls (that the novel only throw at me) so far - she must be the one for me'

Latte also questioning the reason Kenneth suffering (from the crazy fangirls, the society pressuring him), to make him a miserable woman-hater that will make brighter spotlight for Ibelin's sake? meanwhile Latte seemingly starting to consider Kenneth not as character in Ibelin's love story but as Kenneth, mah friend who hounded by crazy fangirls everyday. (*sob* Latte, you're starting to view them as 3D!), and perhaps as someone who realized how weird and pitiful Kenneth’s existence in this novel setting is, Latte wants to befriend him! let's be friends Kenneth! 

Kenneth that prick, asking what's use is there being friends with Latte? (Gaaaah, this ungrateful pitiful character! even though Latte saving you from that count whoyoufromwhere just now) but Latte's insisting and it seems (from his side face smile) that Kenneth just being tsundere just now (ok, we forgive u, but just this once). They finally arrive at library, and of course, there's Ibelin.

Miss Not So Sidekick - chapter 87

our chapter opened with the head librarian (his name kinda long, so we'll call him important reminder) said he's waiting for someone from the magic tower to do maintenance for the recently bought CCTV orb today. Arwin, smiling briliantly, speaks out that it will be him. Latte reconfirms, and important reminder - upon seeing that brilliant sparkles of beauty and grace, quickly prostrate himself while having nosebleed.

Latte, already used to her hubby's forbidden charms capturing the hearts of everyone (and their grandma, and probably their little dog too) just smile and comment the obvious "I think he's your fan' (no duh! detective!Latte). Arwin just, "ah, the usual" (we want to say he's arrogant, but damn he's pretty!)

(also, uh, I can't picture the jealousy!are you cheating on me-drama once they get married. Pretty girls will be like, take one glance at her hubby, prostrating themselves upon this unearthly beauty and Latte goes, 'yeah, familiar sight'; and Arwin goes 'indeed') ***ABSOLUTELY NOBODY DARES TO APPROACH LATTE TO FLIRT IF THEY STILL VALUE THEIR LIVES***)

important reminder dashed to get the CCTV orb but Arwin is not the Lord of magician's tower just for the pretty face, he directly summoned the orb and grin like, veereee sadistically about what awaits the true culprit. Apawn and inside jobs like 'oh god! we're screwed!!' (serve you right! you bitches! how dare you to try to entrap our cute latte! and you inside jobs! how dare you besmirch our image of librarian being the keeper of multiple dimension within books and being secretly master assassin, you know, like crossover between doctor strange and john wick....but this girl dared to sully that reputation just because threatened/bribed by some silly noble girl??? GRAAAAAA!!!). Latte, the good girl she is feeling bad for those two (wut? butbutbut Latte, girl...), so she try to appeal to her hubby....

hmm? it's not? eh, Latte pointing out that since Arwin is came to the library to CCTV's maintenance, shouldn't he, like, can skip the hassle and just pointed out the culprit? (eh, like, in original novel? so tower's finance going down isn't because Latte getting bishot for free?) (I would also pointed out that in original novel, Arwin is, like, flinging the culprit all over the library, while in Latte's route, he's pretty calm. Well, he's playing around with Latte....maybe he's like big dog who have much playing/exercising to be not aggressive? or maybe he'll just playing with Latte first and then proceed to wreck the culprit afterwards? I meant, Ibelin with her goody-goody girl act should goes 'oh noes, please spare the culprit live, my good sir' or something like that right?)

oops, getting distracted. anyway, Latte pointed out that Arwin can instantly known the culprit (thanks to the CCTV. Or probably in original Ibelin's route, Arwin probably just stalking her around from the start so he can tell immediately about the culprit. am still doesn't give up about relation about Latte and tower's finance, guys....though, if this fantasy setting, the magicians should just do a guild quest or something, seriously, are you magicians or shopkeeper?). Where was I? oh yeah, Arwin should know immediately how to recognize the culprit, yet he goes 'are you the culprit, dear customer?' and goofing around with the investigation. Arwin just laughed and admitted that he's just standby and enjoying the whole show because he thought it was 1. funny and 2. he's curious about Latte's reaction, and kinda surprised that Latte is like, very calm, and not getting flustered.

Latte is like, getting flustered? over a stupid, shoddy plot? (ooof burnt ya there Peridot). If there's recording, Latte's alibi will be quickly proven, and she can also have her household provide testimony for her. Apawn quickly crumbled and start to confess that she's threatened to do so (really? you seem having no conscience at all when framing Latte, what's with the finger pointing and smug face?! GRAAAA!!) and that she would be killed if she didn't complied.

People asked who ordering her, and Apawn said she didn't know, they're wearing cloak and the carriage is covered in black fabric........but! she can see Garnet emblem between the fabric gap! People are shocketh! and Kenneth (oh he's still here, hey don't be rude to mah friend Kenneth, okay, but he's so quiet that we tended to forget he's still here, also quite strange he didn't fussed over Ibelin and keep standing in front of Latte. that's because mah friend is still accused just like, 15 second ago, you know? Fine, fine). okay, so Kenneth said, are you trying to lie again? Apawn crying and swearing it's the truth. People are fussing over about this shocking revelation (meanwhile, I'm questioning myself why the hell you are hellbent on following instruction from someone you didn't even know . If it's the powerful Garnett family that threatened you, then sure, you might get afraid of crossing them and then just do the task. But someone you didn't know just strolled at you and then ordered you to do something and you just do it? I meant, if my boss asking me to lent him money to buy lunch because he forgot his wallet, sure, I'll do that. but if a stranger come to me in restaurant and say 'hey you, your boss and I just eating together and we forgot our wallet. foot our bill.' - I'll at least called my boss first to ensure this is not a scam. Or is the Garnet family reputation so tarnished that people just go 'oh yeah, totally a Garnet style' and just done it anyway? (but the mob on the library fussing on how 'are you sure?' 'need to investigate blahblah'). Wait, they don’t outrightly said IMPOSSIBRU! what's wrong with the Garnet? do they frequently do this kind of thing often?)

On the other side, Latte start monologuing how Peridot's true objective isn't framing Latte nor offing Ibelin-by-falling-bookshelves, but by open investigation for her involvement so Peridot can play victim and aggressively try to prove her innocence. AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE WOULD DO THAT???? I meant, why? why do you need to entrap yourself so you can be crying 'I've been framed! I've been framed!' (perhaps so if she trying to hurt Ibelin again in the future, she will use this case as reference? Like? 'ehhh, somebody trying to frame me /again/?' this is the scary girl that like, trying to get 3 birds with one stone (Latte getting framed and became her follower out of fear, Ibelin getting hurt, and Peridot getting suspicion immunity on the future). Her plot for ensnare Latte quickly unravels tho since it's so messy and Latte has quite an alibi (though it was because of CCTV orbs. Hmmmmm, the Ectrie household might be not much of alibi since they could accused of defending her impartially, but the /rumor/ will drag Latte down regardless (ooooh, so this is rumor attack from noble lady fights)

Arwin (again, asserting his closeness to Latte by whispering close to her. Ha! take take that ma friend Kenneth!) asking how does Latte feels to suddenly got revelation that her case is actually part of bigger conspiracy with ominous shadow looming *DUNDUNDUN* Latte plays it cool, bro. Arwin asks aren't you scared? she shrugged that she doesn't have reason to be scared because she's not the actual target anyway. HUH WHAT

oh yeah, forgot that in Peridot's eyes, Ibelin is still the female lead *snicker snicker* ****Wait, don't laugh, us, it's better for Peridot thinking that way**** so her trying to frame Latte maybe just as an afterthought. The most important thing is to make Ibelin having accident and then Peridot will play victim? (no, sorry, Latte, we're still confused, but we'll trust your word on this). Excited Arwin is cute tho.

Arwin listening to Latte's explanation about how Peridot will likely denying her involvement by making the trap (her crest) very obvious in the first place (she can making various excuse how somebody borrowing her carriage or some criminal plagiarized the crest to implicate her, Important thing is that she's being framed! framed! I tell you! - eh does she meant that she wanted the 'some criminal plagiarize my family crest so whatever vile doing done in the future by some criminal plagiarize my family crest is unrelated to me?' Ohhhh???? OHHHHHHHHH!!!! ss...so that's why she want to get 'caught' on this first offense! de....detective Latte! *worship*).

Arwin makes a comment how he's surprised that Latte is sharper than he thought. Latte is haha, how stupid have you been seeing me till now then?

and Arwin, responded. *we facepalmed*
