Diary Of Service Club, Helping The Elf Princess

And then lung capacity, shouldn't it be measured by taking a deep breath and then slowly blowing it out? Why is there inhaling and exhaling with pauses in between? The data measured like this is totally unreliable.

Karuizawa Kei stared dumbfoundedly at Iris, Lala, Lumilia, and even the seemingly serious, expressionless elf knight Aegis who silently stepped forward to do a lung capacity test, doubting life a little.

It was the first time she learned that body measurements could be done like this.

If she didn't know that they had a good relationship with Hachiman, and that Iris and the others' status were far higher than his, she would have thought this was bullying or something.

Previously she thought that playing master-servant games with Hachiman was already pretty extreme, but in front of these princesses like Iris, it was nothing at all...

"You're next, after all those demonstrations before you. I hope your performance won't be too bad. If you mess up and act all flustered, the club president might not want to include you next time."

Ichinose Ayano glanced at Karuizawa Kei, who hadn't recovered from her shock, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as a senior, quietly giving her advice.

It was also the first time for her to be pulled into play by Iris and the others, but she was only surprised, not particularly shaken.

She already thought that the empathy bracelet was a magical tool Iris gave the president. Adding to that was her personal experience last night of various immersive sensations, making it clear that Iris and the others weren't exactly the serious type.

But no matter how unserious they were, it was only toward the president. She didn't have the guts to hope Iris would treat her that well too.

Someone ordinary like her should stop dreaming such unrealistic things and just obediently please the president.

To be honest, as long as it wasn't like last night, where only the empathy bracelet was involved and she couldn't participate in any of the activities at the president's house, even playing like before at Hayase Saki's place would be fine.

Pleasing the president wasn't shameful. Wasn't Iris and the others also pleasing the president?

Now she could gain the support of the elf princesses by pleasing the president, and these elf princesses were doing the same thing as her and even using their influence afterward to support her.

Thinking about it this way, she seemed even more amazing than the elf princesses.

Karuizawa Kei had no idea that Ichinose Ayano's heart had already been entirely reshaped into the form of Hachiman's, and that she was even running her own mental CPU simulation.

She thought about it seriously and felt that Ichinose Ayano, this noble lady, actually made a lot of sense.

From any perspective, she was the weakest among them here.

Not to mention elf princesses or alien princesses, even Ichinose Ayano, a political aristocrat, made her feel completely overwhelmed, let alone that Ayano had an older sister, Ichinose Honami.

All she could do was listen and obey, super obediently...

Looking at Aegis standing up again covering her mouth, with only herself left after Ichinose Ayano went forward, Karuizawa Kei couldn't help but lift her hand to touch her once occasionally aching but now completely healed, smooth and fair lower abdomen, her face reddening as she reaffirmed her determination.

She only had Hachiman to rely on.

Devoting herself to serve Hachiman as her master wholeheartedly might be the only unique thing she had compared to the others.

Playing doctor roleplay in the nurse's office...

Hachiman had to admit that this was an unforgettable, endlessly relishable top-tier experience, especially doing it with so many beautiful girls, while nurse Mikado Ryoko stood outside the curtain as lookout and cover.

Although there were stealth and soundproof barriers, so even without Mikado Ryoko's help they wouldn't be discovered, the novelty of it all was still exhilarating. So much so that even though the basic checkups were over and they were supposed to head to the gym for other assessments, everyone stayed here, and even students from the demi-human class were already outside, waiting.

The demi-human class wasn't composed entirely of beings from other worlds, but they certainly weren't ordinary humans either.

The students in this class roughly fell into three categories: one, non-native to Earth, from other worlds, like elf Iris, Aegis, dragon Ursula, vampire Tsukishiro Sayo, and even Lala, who now had an alien succubus tail, counted here;

Second were Earth-native demi-human races, like the oni clan's Origamine Ouka and Kishou Suzuka, and the succubus tribe's Amaki triplets;

The last were also native demi-humans, but hadn't awakened any particularly powerful supernatural powers, just had some racial traits, for example, vampires disliking heat, being able to use blood as normal food, snow women having low body temperature and releasing cold that could freeze bodily fluids into ice.

From a scientific standpoint, this could be explained as genetic mutations or atavistic traits.

Though on Earth, demi-humans like snow women could also be called youkai.

Outside the nurse's office, Mikado Ryoko saw the students of the demi-human class approaching, then turned and walked into the room. She helped draw the curtains for Lala, Iris, and the others on the sickbeds without acknowledging them, then sat back at her desk after a light cough, waiting for the demi-humans to come in for their assessments one by one.

Among those entering for physical assessments was the black-skinned, white-haired, red-eyed female imp Ursula.

With her personality, she normally wouldn't care about such boring school checkups. But since Hachiman had ordered her to attend school properly, not run off causing trouble, this checkup, being part of regular school activities, was something she had to participate in.

Standing in line, Ursula reached up to touch the fine leather collar around her neck, expressionless, inwardly annoyed.

All because she was tricked by Hachiman. She thought the thing he always wore on his hand was something good. When she snatched it and put it on, she realized it was a trap.

After putting on this collar, not only could she not remove it on her own, she also couldn't disobey any of Hachiman's commands.

Whatever Hachiman said, she had to do. No matter how angry or humiliated she felt, her body would obediently comply and be manipulated according to his will.

Now she paid full attention in class every day, taking super boring lessons seriously, all because of the collar.

Not only did she have to be a good student at school, after class she had to follow Sakurase Shino home and act as her bodyguard.

Being controlled was one thing, and being a bodyguard was fine too. She wasn't strong enough, nothing to complain about. Hachiman could do whatever he wanted to her; after all, she came to him for aid.

But, these past few days, Hachiman hadn't been visiting Sakurase Shino.

Since the day he took control of her and gave her a harsh lesson, telling her to protect Shino, he hadn't contacted her again.

Not contacting her was one thing. Maybe he was just busy with something else for a few days, no big deal. She wouldn't be desperate enough to chase him down for help.

But every day in class, the scent of Iris and Aegis told her the truth wasn't that.

Hachiman was busy with Iris and Aegis.

Same class students, same origin from another world, same goal of asking Hachiman for aid, and yet such drastically different treatment.

While Ursula was fuming, her brows suddenly furrowed. She poked her head into the nurse's office, sniffed the air, and noticed Hachiman's fresh scent of life mixed with several familiar and unfamiliar female scents in the air, and grew even angrier.

'Damn it, those shameless elf sows!'

'And Hachiman too, what's so great about those elves! Whatever Iris and the rest could do, the dragon race could do too!'

'So that's how you want to play? Just wait!'

"Ursula, what's wrong?", A silver-haired, purple-eyed girl in front of her put down the light novel in her hand and looked curiously at Ursula, who suddenly leaned into the nurse's office.

"Nothing, doesn't concern you… no, wait. Tsukishiro Sayo, come with me for a sec."

Ursula originally didn't want to bother with this shut-in vampire girl who spent all her time reading light novels in the library, but when she saw Sayo and then glanced behind at the Amaki triplets, she stopped her impatient words and showed a rare smile.

"You too, Amaki triplets. I have something to discuss with you. Come here."

She directly pulled Tsukishiro Sayo and found the equally silver-haired succubus triplets, bringing their confused selves aside for some secret chatter.

Ursula had long thought about gathering some weaker local demi-humans or youkai to overwhelm Hachiman with numbers, but she had never gone looking. The only time she tried, recruiting weak otherworlders like Elio, they were instantly turned against her.

That was when she realized Iris had been using the numbers strategy all along. Now it was too late, Iris had already united many people. If she randomly recruited some weaklings, she couldn't beat Iris.

But these few demi-humans before her hadn't interacted with Hachiman yet, nor had they been won over by Iris.

And Sayo was a vampire, the Amaki sisters were succubi, though weak, all were extremely gifted. Perfect candidates to challenge Iris and drain Hachiman dry.

Hehe… she might not beat them in numbers, but she could win in quality.

However, confronting them head-on now would still risk failure. If Sayo and the Amaki sisters got taken by Iris, she'd be finished.

To avoid that, she needed a good opportunity, when Iris wasn't watching, to secretly bring the vampires and succubi to Hachiman for a reckoning.

At the end of the line, the oni priestess Origamine Ouka, with well-developed curves and horns on her head, saw Ursula, known as the class troublemaker, pulling Tsukishiro Sayo and the Amaki triplets away sneakily and frowned slightly.

But considering Ursula's good behavior lately and the fact that they weren't in class, she glanced over and saw the Amaki sisters only looking surprised and hesitant without Ursula doing anything bad, so she didn't interfere.

As long as no one got hurt, small disputes were fine. Especially since many demi-humans attending Sobu High weren't here just for studying.

She herself was here as the strongest shrine maiden of the oni clan, representing them to foster friendship with the elf princesses and help maintain order among demi-humans.

So many otherworlders appearing here, someone had to take responsibility, or things could spiral out of control.

With more and more demi-humans transferring here, things must be kept in order.

Thinking of this, Origamine Ouka recalled what the student council president Kaede had discussed with her that morning.

The student council wanted her to become vice president, giving her a proper title to handle student affairs. It did sound good.

But as a shrine maiden, she wasn't good at managing people. She was better at fighting.

She felt the role of disciplinary committee head suited her better...

[Inside the Nurse's Office]

"Eh? My body feels a bit weird?"

Iris lay at the bedside, reaching down to pick up her pure white, holeless pantyhose that had fallen to the floor, and suddenly noticed something odd about her state, sensing her body curiously.

Usually after such intense stimulation, she would need a good while to recover.

But now, even though she still felt comfortable, she was in unusually good condition, like she could go again and again without pause.

"Mm, I think I feel it too."

"Seems like our power increased. But it happened so suddenly, and all of us at once…"

Hearing Iris speak, Aegis and Lumilia looked at each other, nodded, and then turned their gazes to Hachiman, who was being hugged from behind by Lala.

"No need to guess. Your changes are indeed related to me."

Hachiman let go of Lala's tail, reached out to pat Aegis and Lumilia on their heads, enjoying their service while playing with both their elven ears, smiling as he admitted it.

More accurately, their changes were connected to the quest reward he recently obtained from Karuizawa Kei.

[Servant Aura: Increases power for self and servant units. The higher the devotion, the greater the boost.]

(Note: Devotion relates to number of servants and their sincerity.)

Karuizawa Kei, wanting to attach herself to him for protection, completed her role quest and earned him this passive skill as a reward.

The more sincere servants he had, the more power he gained.

This Servant Aura was comparable to "Endless Advancement", maybe even stronger.

Because it didn't only increase his own power, it also enhanced the servants. A total win-win-win skill.

It was unbelievable that Karuizawa Kei earned such an overpowered reward so easily.

But "Endless Advancement" came from the rewards of Yuina and the others' quests too, and they weren't particularly hard either.

The empathy bracelet that shared sensations across space, the anti-mental-control constitution attracting succubi, the servant collar negating psychic abilities and enforcing commands, all were absurdly strong. They just had some limitations, unlike Endless Advancement or Servant Aura, which allowed nonstop growth.

He couldn't even imagine what insane abilities and items he'd get after completing the swim club girls' arcs, the Tohsaka family case, or Gabriel's fall from grace...

"Hachiman, you did this? Even my power increased? Could it be, Hachiman, you're actually really strong?", Lala wrapped both arms around Hachiman's neck, pressing her soft body tightly against his back, nuzzling his cheek while asking curiously.

She had thought Hachiman was a regular Earthling, not powerless, but definitely weaker than her and needing protection.

But now he could even raise her strength, that meant he must be super strong himself, right?

"It's not that I'm strong, it's because you all love me. I just responded to the love you gave me."

Hachiman turned to Lala's indescribably beautiful face, kissed her pink lips, and smiled while shaking his head.

The Servant Aura's boost was tied only to the number of servants and the depth of their devotion.

The more power they gained, the more it proved how much they loved him.

"Mm... Hachiman..."

Hearing Hachiman say something so heart-throbbing so casually, Lala's face turned red, and she couldn't help but hug him tightly, using her actions to reply to his feelings.

Just being with Hachiman was enough to make her wildly excited—and now he occasionally said such things that made her blush and her heart race.

She felt like the beat of her heart, the sound of her blood rushing, were both louder and faster than when they first met...

"Uh…"

"Looks like there's no room for us anymore…"

Seeing Hachiman and Lala cuddle affectionately again at the drop of a hat, while Aegis and Lumilia were both diligently hard at work, Karuizawa Kei and Ichinose Ayano exchanged glances.

They were just ordinary people with no special power. So the physical changes were even more noticeable. Their delicate, girlish bodies could now burst out with strength far surpassing normal humans.
