Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Elven Spring Water
She fell in love with Hachiman at first sight, and Hachiman also liked her so much, just like when mom and dad were back then, she absolutely couldn't let Hachiman run around everywhere in the future and not see him all day.
"If it weren't for her urging you to go on blind dates, making you run to Earth, I probably wouldn't have met you either," Hachiman shook his head a little helplessly. Could he possibly complain about his mother-in-law together with Lala?
Lala was far away on Deviluke Star. If she hadn't been driven crazy by forced blind dates and wanted to escape, she probably wouldn't have thought of coming to the remote Earth in this lifetime.
"Hehe, that's kind of true too, then let's not talk about mom for now. We'll talk about it when mom comes to Earth," Lala thought for a moment and felt it made some sense, and she nodded with a grin.
"Lala, do you want to sleep for a while? It's still early now, you can nap a bit, and I'll wake you up later," Hachiman picked up his phone and looked at the time, then asked Lala.
Now breakfast bento and such were prepared by Gabriel & Vignette, so he didn't need to get up so early to prepare anymore.
"I don't want to sleep yet. I want to experience a few more times. Hachiman, are you tired?", Lala shook her head, her eyes staring straight at Hachiman.
With Lala's energetic personality, she wouldn't be shy at all, and now she was even more bold and direct in asking Hachiman to continue.
"Alright, I'm not tired either. What about Lumilia? If you're not tired, let's experience a few more times together," Hachiman smiled and nodded, lowering his head to look at Lumilia who hadn't said a word all along.
Here he really had to thank Yuina, Minami, and Rin for the daily improvement they brought. If not for them, he probably would have long been unable to get up and could only lie in bed watching Lala and the others move.
It was precisely because of the steadily improving ability that he could keep recovering, keep getting stronger, and have a solid foundation for opening a harem.
"I-I'm not tired either," Hearing Hachiman's question, Lumilia pursed her small lips, quickly raised her head, and replied.
She originally came for the savior-sama's aid, now that savior-sama wanted to aid her, how could she say she was tired.
Big sister Iris was still watching from the side. She couldn't lose face for the elf royal family, she must be grateful at heart and wholeheartedly accept savior-sama's blessing.
"Really? You don't have to force yourself either. This kind of aid will happen every day in the future," Hachiman sat up, picked Lumilia up to sit on his lap, and used his fingertip to cast cleaning magic to gently wipe her mouth and chest.
This little Lumilia really was working hard. Even Iris wasn't as obsessed as Lumilia. Who knew if it was the first-time buff or she really liked this kind of thing so much.
"Mm! Savior-sama don't worry, actually we elves can even not sleep for several days without a problem. If really needed I also have ordinary spring water from the Elven Spring with me, it can restore stamina and spirit," Lumilia nodded hard. After getting used to being held so intimately by Hachiman, she was no longer so weak-limbed just from looking as she had been at first.
But seeing Hachiman personally use cleaning magic to clean her body, she couldn't help feeling her body heat up quickly, face flushed, and could only softly explain.
"Elven Spring's ordinary spring water? Then is there spring water with even better effect?", Hachiman's heart stirred, holding Lumilia and Lala, letting them sit back-to-back on his lap, while continuing the game and asking Lumilia.
"Mm, Elven Spring's ordinary spring water's effect isn't as good as the real Elven Spring water, but drinking it can also restore stamina, and spirit gets ample nourishment and repair," Lumilia gently exhaled, slowly leaning on Lala's back, outlining the two's slender round thighs clad in black stockings tightly pressed together.
"The real Elven Spring water can extend lifespan, but just drinking it doesn't extend lifespan much, so Her Majesty wants to invite you to the depths of the Elven Forest, to our Elven Capital to soak in the Elven Spring."
"To the Elven Capital huh? When are you planning to invite me over to soak in the Elven Spring? The Elven Spring that can extend lifespan should be very precious, are you sure you can let a human like me soak in it?", Hachiman pondered. It seemed the elves really were worried that his lifespan wouldn't be enough. They'd already prepared to extend his lifespan.
"The Elven Spring is very precious, but as the mana concentration decreases, the Elven Spring gradually dries up, the Elven Mother Tree can't give birth to new children, the Elven Spring is no longer as precious as before that it can't let the club president go soak. It's just that the Elven Spring hasn't let a human enter before, so Her Majesty and the others probably need some time to prepare," Iris who had been lying at the side watching suddenly spoke up to explain.
Lumilia and Lala who were given special care still had stamina and spirit wanting to continue, she herself having accumulated experience with the president night after night naturally wouldn't be so tired as to fall asleep.
She and Aegis both could keep going until almost dawn, let alone now there were so many people that they could take turns resting.
But today was Lumilia and Lala's first day here, as a senior she naturally should let the president take better care of the newcomers.
"The Elven Mother Tree can't give birth to new children, so that's why you need me to aid you huh," Hachiman realized. Iris had told him before about the mana concentration difference between the two worlds. Over there the mana concentration had decreased, making high elves hard to appear, but about the Elven Mother Tree this was the first time she mentioned it.
So it was true like some novels said, the elves actually were a tree-born lewd species, no wonder Iris and the others had so many princess good sisters.
But judging from Iris running to this world to find him, their elven situation really was urgent. No wonder they were trying so hard, sending princesses to him one after another, even picking out elf girls with high talent to send over.
That Sylpha who delivered things last night, looked very similar to the taciturn weak succubus Sakurase Shino, felt like a certain doujin elf he knew.
But he basically only remembered the lewd parts of that doujin, didn't remember the specific plot. If it really was that doujin elf, actually no need to think about the original plot, since the person had already been chosen to come here to receive his aid, the original plot no longer existed.
When there was a chance he could let Sakurase Shino and Sylpha this pair of good sisters from different worlds play together. Mm… one was an elf one was a succubus, them being sisters didn't seem to be a problem either.
"Mm, ordinary elf births decreasing is one aspect, the high elves that occasionally appeared originally also almost no longer appear, so we urgently need the president's aid. Ordinary elves decreasing a bit we can still wait, but high elves are our main source of high-level combat strength. If they stop being born, our elven strength will get weaker and weaker. When the next great war breaks out, even if the whole race retreats into the Elven Forest we won't be able to hold it," Iris explained their elven crisis. Now that the president had such deep relations with them, there was no need to be vague and hide things from him.
The president had always been so good to them, never thinking of taking advantage of their requests to make them do bad things, she also had to make clear the real reason why she and Aegis and Lumilia these three princesses weren't satisfied and even wanted the president to keep aiding the chosen elf girls.
"No wonder you're so fixated on high elves. Don't worry, I'll do my best to aid you," Hachiman completely understood. No wonder Iris, a dignified elf princess, would go so far as to desperately seek his aid, treating him even better than Yuina and the others, almost magical.
So he really was the elves' savior, the elves' hope was all on him.
"President, you also don't need to worry too much, right now everyone is recuperating, a great war shouldn't break out in the short term," Iris said as she winked at Hachiman, smiling meaningfully.
"Our sisters in breeding season aren't too many but not too few either, but they might not take the initiative to request the president's aid."
"Now president, just focus on aiding everyone. This time besides the forest guardian Sylpha who came with Lumilia, there are also a few elf girls with good talent waiting for the president's aid."
"Maybe, when we get to the Elven Capital, president you can even talk properly with the elven queen about the aid matter~"
———
After finishing understanding the matter of the elf clan's aid, Hachiman once again shared tender moments with Iris, Aegis, and the other two until it was time to get up normally. Then he woke up Shion and Yuina to change clothes and get ready for school together.
It had to be said that last night was truly wild. When they were playing You Guess I Act, they even pretended to be clumsy and inexperienced to trick him so he couldn't guess right. They only stopped after the top-quality bunny girl costumes they played with were all torn and tattered.
However, for Iris and the others, ruining or tearing clothes wasn't a big deal. After all, they were disposable anyway. As long as it made the aid more thorough, breaking several pieces at once was a perfectly acceptable expense.
And thanks to the existence of cleaning magic, they didn't need to worry about any stains on the torn bunny girl stockings. On the contrary, the torn black stockings added an extra bit of allure.
"Good morning, Komachi~", While savoring the various innocent and skilled scenes from last night, Hachiman led the group downstairs and greeted Komachi, who was sitting in the living room.
"Good morning, Onii-chan, good morning, big sisters. I've made breakfast and it's on the table, covered," Komachi was already neatly dressed, wearing her school uniform, sitting on the sofa and eating the sandwich, egg, and milk breakfast she had made. Hearing Hachiman's greeting, she looked up at him and the group walking behind him, greeted them, and then continued lowering her head to gently bite the straw and slowly sip her milk.
"Gabriel and the others haven't come over yet? If they get up late and don't make bentos, then you and Shion just eat at the school cafeteria today. Sorry, no heart-shaped bentos for Komachi and Shion today," Hachiman didn't mind Komachi's slightly cold attitude and directly sat beside her with a smile.
Even though last night he and Lala and the others were all in Shion's room, even if they were in different spaces with excellent soundproofing, Komachi must've known they slept together.
But he never intended to hide that kind of thing from Komachi. Compared to before, the house was so lively now with so many people, and at school, Komachi had Shion with her. He was even thinking about when to get to know her classmate Sakura. How could Komachi possibly feel lonely?
"Lately it's always been Shion or Vignette-senpai making bentos, right? Onii-chan, you haven't made one for me many times at all...", The moment Hachiman sat next to her, Komachi's body instinctively tensed up, but seeing that Hachiman didn't react, she immediately relaxed again. While biting hard on the straw, she glared at him fiercely and muttered unclearly.
The brother from before was gone for good. Although no matter whether it was the former ultra-lazy brother or the current incredibly cool brother, he was still her brother and she didn't mind either way, she still felt that the current brother who could play bunny girl turnip-pulling games with Iris and the others was just too absurd.
'Weren't you supposed to be a house husband?'
'The housework you used to do, now you barely do it anymore. Is being a house husband just lying at home waiting for Vignette, Gabriel-senpai and the others to come over and do everything?'
"So you remembered that, huh? Then tonight's dinner I'll make it, let my cute Komachi taste her Onii-chan's cooking again," Hearing Komachi's grumbling mutter, Hachiman smiled helplessly and reached out to pat her head in reassurance.
It was true he had done a lot less around the house lately, but what could he do? Shion and the others were just too capable. If he did all the chores, Shion would feel bad, like she wasn't needed in this house.
"Hmph, stupid Onii-chan, I never said I wanted you to do anything," Seeing Hachiman reach out and press on her head again, Komachi instinctively wanted to dodge, but still held back, blushing as she lowered her head, clutching the now empty milk carton, continuing to bite the straw hard and suck it completely dry.
"Hehe, then I'll go wash up first. By the time I'm done, Kaede and the others should be here too," Hachiman looked at Komachi, who was rare to see acting tsundere from embarrassment, smiled, rubbed her short hair, pinched her soft, tender cheek with its wonderful feel, and then let go to head to the bathroom to wash up with Lala and the others.
Asougi Shion glanced at the bathroom and kitchen that were already crowded with Lala and Yuina, and wasn't in a hurry to wash up either. Instead, she came over to Komachi, imitating Hachiman and patted her head, leaned in and softly giggled in her ear.
"Komachi, do your best too, okay? Hachiman Onii-chan will treat us all equally~"
"???", Komachi, who was just overwhelmed by embarrassment, immediately looked up speechlessly at Asougi Shion, who seemed to be comforting and encouraging her.
It was bad enough for Hachiman to bully her, and now Shion was teaming up with him to bully her too?
'Shion, you've been corrupted by Onii-chan!'
Before Komachi could launch a counterattack at Asougi Shion, Shion immediately turned and ran to the kitchen, hiding by Hachiman's side.
Komachi, who had chased after, fiercely glared at Shion, who cautiously peeked her head out from behind Hachiman, then glanced at Hachiman who had turned to look at her, and turned to leave the kitchen back to the living room.
'Shion, just you wait!'
'You may have Onii-chan's help at home, but at school, Onii-chan won't be there to help you.'
"Shion, aren't you afraid Komachi will come after you? You two will be going to school together in a bit," Hachiman put down his toothbrush and looked helplessly at the long black-haired beauty beside him.
He had told Shion to be a bit more lively and not so reserved at home, but for the originally quiet and introverted Shion to suddenly become so lively and bold as to tease Komachi really was beyond his expectations.
For Komachi to find topics that make Shion shy and tease her back was pretty normal, but for Shion to turn around and tease Komachi, that was a bit off.
"Komachi won't do anything to me. She's just shy now. Hachiman Onii-chan said to treat everyone equally, we can't let Komachi feel left out," Asougi Shion, doing such a lively thing for the first time, had her cheeks all red. Seeing Hachiman also puzzled by her actions, she shook her head a bit embarrassed, speaking softly.
In this house, she was the later arrival. She couldn't possibly have more of Hachiman's affection than Komachi.
What Komachi has, she should have too. And for fairness, what she has, Komachi should have too, wasn't that normal?
"Shion... open your mouth...", Hachiman looked at this thoughtful little sweetie and suddenly hugged her, squeezed toothpaste onto the toothbrush, and slowly brought it to her mouth.
"Huh?", Shion instinctively opened her little mouth.
By the time she realized what Hachiman was trying to do, her fair ears were completely red and her smooth round face even redder than last night.
But already completely obedient to Hachiman, Shion silently accepted Hachiman's intimate act of helping her develop and brush her teeth at the same time.
How late did they play last night? They still hadn't had enough? Even brushing teeth had to be like this.
Komachi, who had run back to the living room, lay on the back of the sofa silently watching Hachiman and Shion snuggling together in the half-open kitchen and secretly grumbled.
'Lala-senpai and Iris-senpai really don't get jealous? What about Yuina-senpai, Minami-senpai, how come they all indulged Onii-chan like that?'
"Komachi, do you want to brush again?"
"No!", Komachi shrank down behind the sofa to block Hachiman's gaze, blushing furiously as she refused without hesitation.
'Already this big and still need Onii-chan's help brushing teeth?'
'What kind of shameful game is this?'
———
Ten-odd minutes later, after finishing the tooth-brushing play with Shion, Hachiman and the group ate the simple breakfast Komachi had made and drank some milk before heading out to school.
Naturally, Komachi and Shion went together, while the others, all students of Sobu High, went with Hachiman.
