Diary Of Service Club, Helping The Elf Princess

"Uh-huh! Why so sudden?"

"Hahaha! Rin, you're so bad. My turn now."

Minami saw Rin trying to show off her skills but getting a face full of failure. She mocked Rin while pushing her aside, eagerly taking over.

Although she and Rin were good sisters, their personalities often caused small conflicts. At this moment, seeing Rin making big claims only to mess up, Minami couldn't hold back her glee and decided she would give Hachiman a good reward tonight.

However, Rin wasn't one to back down easily.

"I'm not done yet! Minami, you jerk, stop messing around."

Rin discontentedly squeezed past Minami, who had crawled forward. It was just a moment of carelessness—how could she be spoken of like she was useless?

Everyone had only learned the theory so far. Minami's usual study results weren't much better than hers. She refused to believe that this girl Minami could do much better than her.

Although they hadn't fully experienced "Little Hiki's" ability yet, based on their "bullying" of him with Miura yesterday, "Little Hiki" could be called exceptionally talented. Their experience today with Little Hiki would definitely be amazing.

"How long do you plan to hog the spotlight? It's my turn now!"

Minami wasn't to be outdone and used her shoulder to nudge Rin aside, squeezing back into the best position.

"You two are really... still bickering at a time like this."

Hachiman looked at the intertwined golden and brown locks of hair in front of him and helplessly turned to the smiling Yuina beside him.

"Yuina, you're not going home tonight, right?"

Although this pink-haired girl Yuina didn't entirely seem as gentle and kind as her appearance suggested—sometimes she showed her manipulative side—compared to the straightforward and impulsive Minami or the edgy, cool-talking Rin, she was relatively easier to get along with.

Of course, compared to their overall kind hearts, these small personality quirks were nothing. Hachiman felt that since he was receiving their care, he should return the favor generously.

"Yes, Little Hiki, are you looking forward to it, or are you scared?"

Yuina glanced at the two idiots fighting for the spotlight and the blushing, downcast long-haired girl, Asougi Shion, and leaned slowly closer to his cheek with a playful smile.

Initially, they hadn't planned to go this far; they just wanted to see if Little Hiki could really be so impressive.

But now they felt Little Hiki was indeed great—handsome, kind, caring, talented—everything about him screamed "super potential stock."

Or rather, Little Hiki had already surpassed the level of just "potential."

Since being reminded to work on himself for his crush on the innocent classmate, Little Hiki had shown far greater capabilities than they had imagined.

Their so-called "training" merely served as a prompt—their contributions weren't as significant as they had thought.

However, given that Sobu High didn't have many handsome boys and the boys in their class were all mediocre at best, they needed to hold on tightly to Little Hiki.

Compared to the lack of handsome guys at Sobu High, the girls there were abundant in both quantity and quality. While they themselves were quite attractive, there were many girls in the school who were even more beautiful and graceful.

"Actually, I've always been curious—why did you decide to be gyaru?"

Hachiman didn't answer Yuina's question but looked at her slowly approaching face, pinching her soft, fair cheek and asking in confusion.

In Japan, "gyaru" wasn't a particularly positive term, akin to being a "hikikomori" (shut-in), except one rebels at home and the other runs wild outside. While hikikomori were at the bottom of the social hierarchy, gyaru were still seen as unconventional.

Most gyaru were known for their individualistic style, and Shibuya-style gyaru even dressed like ghosts. However, Yuina and her friends had good appearances and figures, and their personalities, while slightly quirky, were still relatively normal—not at all rebellious.

Hachiman couldn't understand why they liked being gyaru, especially in a strict school like Sobu High, where being a "delinquent" could easily attract the attention of the disciplinary committee.

"Do we not fit your impression of gyaru?" Yuina smiled playfully at Hachiman, who still had the energy to care about them at a time like this. She gently blew into his ear and said, "It's nothing special—we just like looking good."

"Looking good, huh..."

Yuina's answer wasn't unexpected.

Adolescent girls were often still quite innocent. Some who matured early pursued fashion and dressed boldly. To many, gyaru represented the epitome of "cool."

Girls who wanted to be gyaru likely didn't start out wanting to be "delinquents." Becoming more attractive and catching others' eyes was probably the primary motivation.

However, the gyaru community didn't have the best reputation. Yuina and her friends likely were still just enjoying the style as a hobby without much interaction with the broader gyaru culture. Otherwise, their personalities wouldn't be so kind and even better than most girls.

It seemed necessary to keep an eye on their circle of friends. If they wanted gyaru friends, someone like Kitagawa Marin—clean and pure—would be ideal.

Hachiman thought about how he should treat Yuina and her group in the future. However, Yuina wasn't giving him any extra time to think now.

Her delicate and flawless face slowly leaned closer to Hachiman, her warm breath brushing against his earlobe, sending a tingling sensation through him.

Unable to resist, Hachiman pulled the teasing Yuina into an embrace to let her experience what real ruthlessness meant.

"Is Shion getting impatient? If not, let me demonstrate first; if you are, then you can go ahead, Shion~"

Faced with Hachiman's firm hug, Yuina didn't resist at all and leaned into his embrace. However, she still thoughtfully glanced at Asougi Shion, who stood shyly to the side without making a move.

The reason they could stay overnight today was because of Asougi Shion's cooperation. They had to take her feelings into account.

But Asougi Shion wasn't as used to their playful banter. Even in moments like these, they could cover their embarrassment with jokes. If Shion were to go first, being alone under their gaze would undoubtedly make her extremely self-conscious.

"Uhh... Yuina-nee, you go first…"

Asougi Shion turned her reddened face away, a blush spreading down her slender, fair neck.

She had thought that what she did with Hachiman earlier was already bold enough, but now Yuina, Minami, and the others were involved together… Apart from a bit of bickering, their relationship was unbelievably harmonious…

'Is this the world of high school girls…? Or is it just that Hachiman-oniisan is especially popular…?'

Although Asougi Shion didn't fully understand, she was greatly shocked.

"Then Shion, you can observe for now. Once we gain some experience, we'll make sure you have the best time!"

Yuina, unaware that this seemingly pure and slightly aloof black-haired girl had far more practical experience than their theoretical mastery, still comforted her, telling her not to mind what they were doing.

Although none of them had expected their first experience to involve three people together, they were gyaru after all!

Unique, independent, and unrestrained gyaru.

Not to mention three people—if Miura Yumiko and Kitagawa Marin hadn't gone shopping today, they might have dragged a few more into this.

Tomorrow, they would see if Yumiko and the others were free. If they could pull them in, they could surround little Hachiman in class as soon as break started. Even if the disciplinary committee came, they wouldn't notice what was happening inside.

Wouldn't that be super thrilling?

The thought excited Yuina endlessly. Although she didn't act as gyaru-like as Minami or Rin, as the central figure of this gyaru group, she naturally had the courage to break norms and boldly pursue what she wanted. She simply hadn't been interested in this aspect before.

Faced with this group of bold and proactive gyaru, Hachiman naturally enjoyed their passion immensely.

However, as they were caught up in their fun, he suddenly remembered something important.

Bzz~ Bzz~ Bzz~ Bzz~

"Hachiman-oniisan… it's… it's Komachi…"

Asougi Shion's silky black hair slipped from her shoulders, trembling as it danced on the soft bed. She noticed the vibrating phone nearby, its screen lighting up with "Komachi" as the caller ID. Panicking, she turned to look at Hachiman.

"Uh…"

Only then did Hachiman remember that he had forgotten to come up with an excuse for Komachi. She probably still thought he'd only dropped Shion off and was heading back.

"Should I answer it?"

Minami, who was sitting on the edge of the bed resting and drinking water, glanced over. Seeing that Asougi Shion was barely holding herself up, exhausted, and her good friends Rin and Yuina were still lying on the bed, she crawled over to help hold the phone to Hachiman's ear.

She had won the earlier contest. Little Yuina wanted to pit the two of them against each other again, but they had teamed up to pin little Yuina down, letting her experience little Hachiman's unrelenting strength.

Rin, too, refused to concede and still wanted little Hachiman to say she was the best.

But clearly, none of them could match her stamina. She was the only one still able to get up and drink water.

Of course, the final winner was definitely little Hachiman.

As she held the phone and looked at the still-spirited little Hachiman, Minami was secretly amazed.

Although she had been surprised several times tonight, every glance at little Hachiman left her utterly stunned.

Four of them—no, even counting all four of them together—they couldn't match little Hachiman?

Choosing little Hachiman was undoubtedly the right decision!

"Of course, I have to answer…"

Hachiman gestured for Minami to hold the phone, freeing a hand to press the answer button.

Although answering a call now was awkward, ignoring it wasn't an option.

Who knew if Komachi would worry that something had happened to her responsible older brother and come looking for him and Shion? That would be even more awkward.

"Onii-chan? Are you still at Shion's place? Why aren't you back yet?"

Komachi's puzzled voice came through the phone's speaker.

"*Cough* Komachi, I won't be coming back tonight. I'll return tomorrow morning to make breakfast for you."

Hachiman cleared his throat, subtly hinting.

Since Shion had already moved out of her house, he didn't need to overly worry about their relationship. After all, Komachi might be a bit slow academically, but she was sharp in social matters.

Hiding things from her too long could make them even harder to explain later.

Hmm… Plus, there was no need to hide it.

As her considerate older brother, Komachi would support him even if he committed a crime.

"Not coming back tonight?"

On the other end, Komachi, who had been tracking time and wondering about her brother's relationship with Shion, was stunned, her mind blank.

She had been trying to figure out her brother and Shion's little secret.

And now, her brother wasn't even trying to hide it?

She had thought her brother renting a place for Shion without getting anything in return was a huge loss.

But it turned out her brother rented the place to move out quietly and avoid disturbing her?

Spending so much money just for such a minor thing—wasn't that a waste?

If she had known earlier, she could've just pretended not to notice.

At that moment, Komachi's mind swirled with countless surprised, shy, and regretful thoughts. She wished she could rush over to the neighboring apartment, drag her brother and Shion back home, and tell them not to waste money on something so unnecessary.

———

While Hachiman worked tirelessly, unable to sleep, someone else found it hard to sleep because of an email he had sent.

"Hachiman… has a good relationship with the elf princess serving as goodwill ambassador…"

In the Ichinose family residence, Representative Ichinose sat on the living room sofa, staring at his phone with a deep and uncertain gaze fixed on the email displayed on the screen.

It had been a long time since he received the email, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

It wasn't that he was troubled by his incompetent daughter dating a commoner teacher and being discovered—he had handled that as soon as he learned about it.

Although he was only a representative and not a governor, the power he held was more than enough to deal with one or two ordinary teachers.

If not for the fear of political enemies exploiting the situation to manipulate public opinion against him, he could've simply accused them of unethical behavior, putting them behind bars, and let public opinion ruin their lives.

The real concern was the identity of the stranger who sent him this email.

It was the first time he had seen someone so straightforward in asking for money, even including a bank account at the end of the email.

Out of political caution, he decided to investigate the sender's background first.

Since the person knew about his daughter's matters, it was clear they were from Sobu High, so he had someone look into this Hachiman's records at the school.

The information wasn't hard to find, but it was sparse and very ordinary.

Hachiman, a first-year student in Sobu High's Class F. A typical family background, unremarkable reputation at school, academically strong in literature but weak in other subjects. Recently started a club called the Service Club.

This information was ordinary, with nothing particularly noteworthy.

However, the club this student started caught his attention.

The Service Club.

President: Hachiman. Members: Iris Thea Eaderlindt, Aegis Thea Eaderlindt…

Seeing these two members' names, Representative Ichinose, holding the phone, had countless thoughts flash through his mind in an instant.

Several exchange students from otherworldly races had enrolled at Sobu High, a matter many representatives had been keeping an eye on. Since the emergence of the other world, these races had rarely appeared in human society, and this exchange program was one of the larger-scale integrations.

However, those exchange students were there to attend school. The otherworldly races brave enough to come to the human world usually had considerable strength. Politicians like him couldn't interfere or exploit opportunities directly.
