Diary Of Service Club, Helping The Elf Princess

"What's so bad about this? Today is Shion's official moving day, so why not have a meal together to make it lively? It's just a meal; Gabriel, you don't have to worry about it."

Hachiman waved his hand with a smile.

"Besides, the room Shion rented happens to be next to a transfer student who started the same time as you, Gabriel. Tonight, I want to introduce you two to each other."

The meeting of a little angel and a holy demon—it had been something he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Now that his "laid-back plan" was in motion, he thought it would be great if the holy demon could also join the little angel's team to take care of him, a useless loafer, together.

By then, he could have an angel in one hand and a demon in the other, live a good life without relying on the system, and freely ignore those outrageous tasks.

Of course, he still needed the abilities rewarded by the system.

Otherwise, even the elf princess from another world could break his back, let alone angels and demons far stronger than elves.

Without strong abilities to deal with his harem-like troubles, he would likely end up endlessly cycling between heaven and hell.

"A transfer student who started at the same time as me? Is it that purple-haired girl I saw with you on the way to school this morning?"

Gabriel's heart stirred as she thought of the purple-haired demon she had met earlier when running into Hachiman.

"Yes, her name is Tsukinose Vignette. She's a very kind-hearted girl," Hachiman nodded. Vignette was probably a misplaced demon—if she hadn't been a demon in hell, she might have become a prominent figure in heaven.

"Kind-hearted... hmm, then I'll join tonight. I'll help with cooking too," Gabriel said, her resolve firming up after hearing Hachiman's evaluation of Vignette.

'A kind-hearted demon?'

'Could demons have turned over a new leaf?'

Hmm... although heaven and hell hadn't been at war for a long time, the two sides still had little interaction and were confined to their territories.

As a little angel on an internship in the human world, Gabriel was naturally curious about demons she had never encountered before.

Could it be that demons had really reformed and decided to follow heaven? The last war had only ended in a draw, after all.

Or perhaps, this Vignette was only pretending to be kind-hearted to deceive Hachiman?

Otherwise, how could Hachiman, who used to be a helpful good student, suddenly give up on life and decide to rely on his future wife to support him?

Since Vignette transferred at the same time, her appearance aligned with Hachiman's change.

"And what about you guys? Are you staying for dinner?" Hachiman looked at the gyaru trio—Yuina, Minami, and Rin.

Tonight, his original plan was a family dinner. Besides his sister Komachi and Shion, there were Kaede and Suzu, his childhood friends, Vignette as the new neighbor, and Gabriel as his desk mate and "babysitter."

In comparison, his relationship with Yuina and the others was ambiguous, stuck at the edge of friendship. It was time to find an opportunity to break through.

"Of course! We worked hard, too."

Minami proudly placed her hands on her hips, chest puffed out.

"Yeah, little Hachiman, we can help too," Yuina nodded, even Rin silently agreeing.

Since Gabriel was staying, they naturally had to stay too—they didn't want to miss the drama.

Earlier, they had been too busy helping to stir up trouble. But during dinner, they planned to create opportunities to pair Gabriel with Hachiman.

They usually hung out late anyway, so going home later wasn't a big deal. If it got too late, they could even stay over, using the excuse of visiting a classmate's house and covering for one another.

After finalizing their plans, they helped move Shion's belongings to her new place, tidying it up and setting up bedding from Hachiman's home.

Once the rental room was made cozy, everyone returned to Hachiman's house.

At this point, Hachiman and Gabriel were already in the kitchen preparing dinner.

Since Shion's room wasn't large, he let them handle the unpacking. He'd check it out later on his own.

Having successfully rented a place and secured a safe haven, Shion felt a rush of excitement and wanted to help her "Hachiman-nii" in the kitchen.

But the semi-open kitchen was already crowded with Gabriel and Hachiman, leaving no room for more.

"Shion, do you like your Hachiman-nii?"

Yuina noticed and pulled Shion aside to whisper with the gyaru group.

"No, no!" Shion's fair, delicate face flushed red as she quickly shook her head.

Though she wasn't aware of Hachiman's "crush" on Gabriel, she assumed it to be true, seeing how often Yuina and the others paired them together.

She didn't want to make things difficult for her Hachiman-nii or jeopardize the home she had finally found.

"Don't be shy. We like little Hachiman too," Seeing the flustered expression on Asougi Shion's face, Minami could already tell that this little girl also liked Hachiman. She chuckled slyly.

"Good, good. It's nice to like him. Looks like we can borrow Shion's room in the future."

"Yuina-senpai, you all like Hachiman-nii too?"

Asougi Shion widened her eyes in disbelief.

'If they liked Hachiman-nii too, then why are they matchmaking Hachiman-nii with Gabriel-senpai?'

'And they even seem so happy about it?'

Asougi Shion found it hard to understand Yuina and the others' behavior.

Although she herself liked Hachiman-nii, she had always kept quiet and watched him hang out with other girls without taking any action. But her situation was different.

On one hand, she had moved into Hachiman-nii's house before she started liking him. On the other hand, her family had issues, and she could only accept the help from Hachiman-nii and his family without being demanding.

No matter how much she wanted, she dared not force anything.

For now, she was already very satisfied. If she pushed further, she was afraid the happiness she had would slip away.

But Yuina and the others didn't seem to have any family problems, right?

Why were they acting like this?

If they didn't like Hachiman-nii, it would be fine. But if they did, why were they still matchmaking Hachiman-nii with other girls?

Asougi Shion felt that her behavior was understandable, but what Yuina and the others were doing was very strange.

"Surprised? But we're not little Hachiman's girlfriends. At first, Hachiman only got so close to us because he had a crush on Gabriel-san."

"Shion, do you want to join us? Let's support Hachiman's love together."

"We can give Hachiman some targeted training now and then. Once he completes it, we can reward him as motivation."

Rin dropped her usual brashness and, along with Yuina and Minami, coaxed Asougi Shion, trying to pull her into their little circle to support Hachiman's pursuit of Gabriel.

Hachiman had already put in so much effort for Gabriel, but she seemed completely unaware of his feelings and was even trying to set him up with someone else as a potential wife.

In such a situation, if not for their target being Gabriel, they would have felt redundant since Gabriel was doing all the things they wanted to do.

However, they didn't know that the progress between the Asougi Shion they were trying to recruit and Hachiman had already gone far beyond their expectations.

The ones lagging behind were actually them.

"Uh..."

Listening to Yuina, Minami, and Rin explain one after another, Asougi Shion's pale cheeks gradually turned red.

She had come to understand that Yuina, Minami, and the others had some rather peculiar ideas.

They claimed to support Hachiman-nii, helping him with targeted training. But in reality, they were secretly doing things with Hachiman-nii that only couples would do, behind Gabriel-senpai's back.

Uh… Even though she wasn't doing it in the name of being a couple...

"We were initially worried about what to do if things went further, but now that Hachiman has rented a room for you, can we use your room in the future?"

Seeing Asougi Shion's blushing, shy expression, Minami chuckled slyly and asked directly.

Rewards before weren't a big deal. Just find a hidden spot and pay a bit of attention.

But if it came to the final step, it couldn't just be done casually. It wasn't like before when they could leave anytime.

So privately, they had been debating whose house was more suitable.

Playing at Hachiman's house every day was obviously not an option. Hachiman's family wasn't small—his sister, Komachi, was also there.

Although it was fine to do such things privately, having Komachi, who wasn't involved, there would make things very awkward.

"Ah, uh..."

Asougi Shion was caught off guard by Minami's request.

Minami wanted to borrow her room?

But this room was supposed to be a little private world for her and Hachiman-nii...

At the Hikigaya household, she, Komachi, and Hachiman-nii were already like a family. But deep down, she felt that only in private, with just the two of them, could she and Hachiman-nii truly feel like they were soulmates.

However, if Hachiman-nii liked them...

Asougi Shion hesitated as she looked at Yuina, Minami, and Rin, three distinct yet charming gyaru-style beauties.

Originally, she had felt conflicted about her own situation, feeling that her relationship with Hachiman-nii was something that couldn't be revealed, and her feelings had to be kept hidden in her heart.

But now, seeing that there were so many others who also liked Hachiman-nii, and even these three girls, who had a deep connection with him, chose to silently support his love life, she felt much better.

Their behavior was proof of Hachiman-nii's charm. It wasn't just her who thought he was amazing.

"Then… I'll ask Hachiman-nii. If he agrees, it's fine..."

Although Asougi Shion was swayed, she still decided to check with Hachiman-nii.

This rental was technically hers, but it was Hachiman-nii who paid for it. No matter what, his approval was necessary.

"Shion, you rely on Hachiman too much. He'll definitely agree. After all, we're helping him pursue Gabriel-san."

Minami was surprised at how much Shion followed Hachiman's lead.

No wonder Hachiman had spent money renting her a place. With Shion's attitude, it was well worth the cost.

Too bad Hachiman liked Gabriel. Otherwise, given Shion's situation, she matched Hachiman pretty well.

"Although borrowing your room has nothing to do with pursuing Gabriel-san, I also think Hachiman would agree."

Rin nodded thoughtfully, stroking her smooth, pale chin.

After all, they were planning to reward Hachiman together. How could he not be tempted?

"Then it's settled. If we need your room in the future, Shion, you won't say no~"

Yuina smiled and winked at Asougi Shion.

"Hehe, why talk about the future? Today's perfect! Shion's moving to a new place. Let's celebrate together."

Minami leaned in and whispered in Asougi Shion's ear, coaxing her.

These things shouldn't be delayed. The longer you wait, the more hesitant you become. Better to seize the moment and charge ahead.

"Ah? Today? So many people celebrating together?"

Asougi Shion was shocked as she looked at Yuina and the others, then turned back to glance at Hachiman in the kitchen.

She had already agreed to their request to borrow her room.

But she felt she should still tell Hachiman-nii.

According to them, they'd only rewarded him a few times and hadn't gone all the way.

And yet… Were they planning to go all in for the first time, with three people together?

Uh… She admitted, Hachiman-nii's stamina was impressive… It was normal for Yuina-senpai and the others to want to help each other. But for Hachiman-nii to face so many people at once...

"This is all for Hachiman's future happiness~"

Yuina smiled mischievously, winking at Asougi Shion.

"Training..."
