Diary Of Service Club, Helping The Elf Princess

[🎉 Shoutout to Eval, Lu, Jarrod and Time Walker for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

"Suzu, you did great today. If Kaede bullies you in the future, just come to me, and I'll stand up for you."

Hachiman untied the ropes from Kaede, who was limp and powerless, then stood up, glanced at Rurikawa Tsubaki, who was barely holding back her laughter, and reached out to pat the squatting Suzu on the head. Seizing the moment before Kaede could recover, he quickly slipped out of the student council office.

As soon as he stepped outside, Hachiman saw Shion standing at the door with a kettle, having just gone to fetch water. He smiled at her and nodded in greeting.

"Shion, you've worked hard."

"Hikigaya-kun, you're the one who worked hard."

Shion bowed slightly, then watched as Hachiman left. She then gently pushed open the recently closed student council office door and walked in with the kettle.

The once-quiet student council office suddenly became noisy.

"SUZU!"

"Get over here!!!"

Even though Kaede's legs were weak, she still struggled to get up from the sofa, chasing after Suzu, who was dodging and jumping around.

To her, Hachiman teasing her was certainly infuriating, but what was even more infuriating was her own sister's betrayal.

As her sister, Suzu not only didn't help her but even sided with Hachiman to gang up on her. If she didn't teach Suzu a lesson now, wouldn't she be bullied to death by these two in the future?

Hearing the noise, Rurikawa Tsubaki pretended to have just woken up, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she sat up from the sofa.

Seeing Kaede, both embarrassed and angry, chasing after Suzu, Rurikawa Tsubaki couldn't help but recall the various sounds she had overheard while pretending to be asleep earlier, causing her delicate face to flush again.

Kaede and her childhood friend were truly bold, playing around in the student council office like this...

However, she might be leaving school soon, so whatever happened in the student council office afterward had nothing to do with her...

Thinking of the fate she was about to face, Rurikawa Tsubaki's expression dimmed again.

Shion silently boiled the water, prepared some refreshing tea for the three of them, and quietly observed her mistress, Rurikawa Tsubaki, who had been silent for a long time.

In truth, she wished that Lady Rurikawa Tsubaki would abandon the Rurikawa family and escape from the bottomless vortex it had become.

But clearly, Lady Rurikawa Tsubaki had no intention of giving up the so-called pride of the Rurikawa family...

After leaving the student council office, Hachiman changed out of his gym class uniform and put on his school uniform before returning to the classroom.

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened in class. Gabriel and Yuina both knew that Hachiman had left his tennis class abruptly. Yuina even regretted that he had missed an opportunity for intimate contact with Gabriel.

However, Gabriel thought he had gone off to help a socially anxious girl and, instead, comforted Yuina and the others, telling them not to worry. This left them all looking at each other, unsure how to respond.

Gabriel was truly an angel...

Too bad all they wanted was to drag this little angel down with them...

Yuina and the others secretly exchanged opinions and finally decided to fulfill little Hachiman's wish—to make Gabriel fall for him.

If Miura Yumiko found out about their plan, she definitely wouldn't accept it easily, but if it were Gabriel, she would surely forgive them, right?

Hmm... About the fact that they've been trying to match Gabriel with Hachiman while spending sleepless nights with Hachiman themselves...

———

Afternoon classes ended quickly, and soon it was time for dismissal.

"Hachiman, do you have time to take me to the Service Club today?"

As soon as class ended, Gabriel eagerly turned to her left and softly asked Hachiman, who sat at the neighboring desk.

Helping others can be done anywhere; one doesn't necessarily have to join a Service Club.

But she noticed that Hachiman had been particularly busy these past two days. Worried that he might stray down the wrong path, she hoped to follow him to the Service Club to see what it was about.

Though Hachiman had been doing quite well so far, his tendency to give up and fall into depravity wasn't fake. Plus, his neighbor was a demon she couldn't quite read, so Gabriel was really worried that Hachiman might be led astray without her knowing.

"Uh... I do have time..."

Hearing Gabriel suddenly mention going to the Service Club, Hachiman paused, realizing that he had already bailed on Gabriel once yesterday. If he did it again today, he'd really have no excuse. So, he nodded slowly.

In fact, today was a great day to take Gabriel along.

Although he had given some guidance to Sakurase Shino at noon, the real counseling session was still going to be taken after the dealjne.

If Gabriel went today, she would only see Yukinoshita Yukino failing at guiding the socially anxious Sakurase Shino.

By next Monday, when Gabriel visited again, she would see that he had already helped Sakurase Shino and even witness the formerly anxious Bocchi-chan getting along well with Hayase Saki.

The contrast would be obvious. At that point, Gabriel might even support him taking over as the Service Club president while letting Yukinoshita Yukino stay on as a member.

"Yuina, what about you guys? Want to come along?"

Seeing that Hachiman was finally taking her to the Service Club, Gabriel nodded in satisfaction before turning to Yuina and her two gyaru friends who had just walked over.

"We've already been there before, so we won't intrude today."

Yuina shook her head. They had already spent the whole night with Hachiman yesterday, so they couldn't push too hard today—they needed to rest a bit.

They did enjoy playing around with Hachiman, but their main focus now was still on winning over Gabriel. They couldn't disrupt Hachiman's progress.

Besides, with the weekend starting tomorrow, they could just see if Hachiman had time then and invite him out.

"Yeah, today we're going shopping with Reina and the others before heading home."

Minami quickly nodded and grinned.

They needed to show off their "trained" little Hachiman to their other gyaru friends. Someone as amazing as Hachiman deserved to be flaunted—to make the others jealous.

Seeing that Yuina and the others didn't want to interrupt him and Gabriel, Hachiman smiled and didn't press the matter, instead heading off to the Service Club with Gabriel.

Though all the girls he had encountered so far seemed incredibly strong during their first "battles," last night had exhausted them all. Today, they needed to rest.

This kind of thing required a balance between work and rest for long-term sustainability.

Meanwhile, as Hachiman and Gabriel left, gyaru blonde girl Kitagawa Marin hesitated before glancing at her friend, Miura Yumiko.

"Yumiko, is there really nothing between you and Hikigaya-kun?"

After Hachiman and the others left, the blonde gyaru Kitagawa Marin, who was still in the classroom, hesitantly looked at her friend Miura Yumiko.

At first, she thought there was something between Yumiko and this Hikigaya-kun. After all, Yumiko unexpectedly mentioned a certain boy quite frequently in their chats, and even during class today, she kept glancing in Hikigaya-kun's direction from time to time.

But now, not only did Hikigaya-kun leave without even greeting Yumiko, he didn't even glance in her direction. She couldn't help but start doubting her own judgment.

Sobu High had strict management against impure relationships between boys and girls, but it wasn't to the point where even talking was forbidden.

Besides, with Yumiko's personality, if there really was something between them, she wouldn't be afraid of the disciplinary committee and deliberately hide her relationship with Hikigaya-kun, right?

"When did I ever say I had anything to do with that guy? Marin, have you been reading too many light novels? There's no way I'd ever like that gloomy guy, okay?"

Miura Yumiko rolled her eyes in annoyance at the gyaru otaku Kitagawa Marin, who loved to overthink things. She grabbed her single-shoulder bag with one hand, slung it over her shoulder, and stood up, addressing both Kitagawa Marin and Ijichi Nijika.

"Let's go shopping too. You two don't have plans again today, do you?"

Seeing Miura Yumiko bring up past issues again, Kitagawa Marin awkwardly laughed and quickly waved her hands,"Nope, nope! I still haven't figured out my next cosplay outfit, and I don't have any model work for now, so I'm totally free these days."

She loved anime, manga, and games, enjoyed cosplaying characters from them, and usually worked part-time as a reader model to make money. But both her work and hobbies were things she did outside of school. Now that she had free time, of course, she wanted to hang out with her best friends.

"I actually wish I had plans... but the music course student I'm looking for seems to have skipped class again today..."

Ijichi Nijika's expression was slightly complicated. She slung her single-shoulder bag on her back, looking a little down as she followed them out of the classroom.

"You still haven't formed your band? I feel like you've been working on this for a long time."

Kitagawa Marin asked curiously.

Since the beginning of the school year, Nijika had been talking about forming a band, but neither Marin nor Yumiko knew much about bands, so they hadn't gotten involved.

"It's actually already formed, but..."

Ijichi Nijika hesitated.

"It seems like our lead singer's guitar skills aren't very good. She's always reluctant to show her guitar skills, and she even suggested that I find another guitarist..."

The band's framework was already complete. They had a lead singer, a guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer. Adding another guitarist wouldn't make much difference.

But the lead singer Nijika had recruited might not be very skilled at guitar. Though her singing was quite good, she refused to bring her guitar to practice with them.

And now, this music course student was hard to deal with too. She had heard that this student was very talented—proficient in piano, saxophone, guitar, and more. But judging by the current situation, even if she managed to invite her into the band, things might not go smoothly.

Maybe she should look for another candidate...

But the students in the music course were all high and mighty, and they generally looked down on rock music, so it was really hard to find someone.

"Nijika, keep at it! No matter what, when you have your debut performance, I'll definitely make time to come watch."

Kitagawa Marin thought about it but couldn't come up with a solution, so she could only offer some encouragement.

There were band-related themes in anime, comics, and games, and she really liked them. But she didn't have the connections to help Nijika.

At most, she could show up to support Nijika when the time came, maybe even bring some of her cosplay friends along.

"Thanks..."

Ijichi Nijika tried to cheer up and gave Kitagawa Marin a sweet, adorable smile.

Although the band was newly formed and had no popularity, she had plenty of friends, so she wasn't worried about a lack of audience support.

But the real problem was that this newly formed band had barely rehearsed together, and now they were already about to perform. This awkward situation was something she was too embarrassed to tell her friends about.

She really shouldn't have been so confident in front of her older sister, boasting that she could go straight to performing on stage...

Seeing Ijichi Nijika struggling with her band issues and Kitagawa Marin comforting her, Miura Yumiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had successfully changed the topic.

Then, she suddenly got mad at Hachiman for not even greeting her.

Damn it! Refusing to be her follower was one thing, but he didn't even say hello?

Next time Hikigaya gets bullied, she definitely won't hold back.

Hachiman had no idea that just because he didn't greet Miura Yumiko, he had once again ended up on her grudge list—and she was even planning to continue "bullying" him.

He led Gabriel toward the special building, intending to introduce her to the Service Club. Maybe in the future, he could ask Gabriel for help.

"Hachiman, that Ichinose girl from our class seems to be following us."

Walking beside Hachiman, Gabriel suddenly glanced back at a suspicious figure behind them and whispered to him.

She had noticed Ichinose Ayano trailing them for a while but had initially assumed they were just heading in the same direction. Now that they had entered the secluded special building, she was certain that Ichinose had deliberately followed them here.

"She's probably looking to request something from the Service Club. Let's head there first."

Hachiman turned his head slightly and saw Ichinose Ayano following them from the classroom. He didn't stop or acknowledge her, simply leading Gabriel into the Service Club's clubroom.

Ichinose wasn't trying to hide her actions, so he had noticed her a long time ago.

In fact, Ichinose Ayano had been watching him on and off all day. What surprised him was that this big-breasted airhead had managed to hold back for an entire day without causing trouble for him.

Logically, with Ichinose's intelligence, she should have already thrown a fit. After all, he had revealed in front of both Hiratsuka Shizuka and Ichinose that he knew about her soon-to-be coercion by the delinquent Misaki.

Now that Ichinose Ayano had found out her father was aware of her relationship, she must have thought he was the one who spilled the beans.

After all, Misaki definitely wouldn't have informed her father about his own misdeeds, and Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't privy to all the details.

The Service Club was empty at the moment. As soon as Hachiman and Gabriel stepped inside and sat down, Ichinose Ayano followed them in.

"...Hikigaya-kun, I want to join the Service Club."

Standing at the door, Ichinose Ayano observed the room for a moment before walking over to Hachiman and staring at him expressionlessly.

"Huh? What?"

Hachiman, who had been expecting her to start trouble, was stunned for a moment. He looked at the uninvited Ichinose Ayano with a strange expression.

"You're sure you want to join my Service Club?"

What the hell was Ichinose Ayano thinking?

He had just reported her boyfriend. Now, that boyfriend was either swimming at the bottom of Tokyo Bay or sleeping under some construction site, and yet this girl still wanted to join his Service Club?

If she didn't know he was behind it, it would make sense. But judging by her expression and attitude, she probably did.
