Diary Of Service Club, Helping The Elf Princess

[🎉 Shoutout to Victor & Hunter for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

"Then you all should hurry and change. Although it's still a bit early, we can go over and take a look around first."

Seeing their harmonious and friendly scene, Hachiman smiled and urged them.

Although today Yukinoshita Yukino has not yet failed, it is still her time to guide Sakurase Shino, and tomorrow will be his turn to take the lead.

But Yukinoshita Yukino's failure is already destined.

Perhaps when he officially trains Sakurase Shino tomorrow, he can have Yukinoshita Yukino take care of Ichinose Ayano.

This way, when Yukinoshita Yukino fails again, he can rightfully take over the traini— cough, educational guidance commission of Ichinose Ayano.

After two consecutive failures, Yukinoshita Yukino should properly acknowledge that only he can be the president of the Service Club, allowing him to complete Yukinoshita Yukino's presidential duties.

As long as Yukinoshita Yukino obediently listens to him and no longer gives him cold looks, he will also properly help this troubled girl, so she is no longer the only target of bullying in the Service Club.

Chiba Prefecture, a particularly famous tourist prefecture in Japan, ranks third in the national financial index and first in the number of tourists visiting Japan.

Among them, the more famous Tokyo Narita International Airport and Tokyo Disneyland are both in Chiba Prefecture.

On such holidays, tourist spots are usually crowded. Considering that the Service Club is going out today to change the environment and guide the autistic girl Sakurase Shino, Yukinoshita Yukino set the meeting point near Chiba Port Park.

Chiba Port Park is located in Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, adjacent to Chiba Port. The park covers a large area, but apart from the towering Chiba Port Tower, there are no special facilities, making it not a popular tourist destination.

Hachiman is quite satisfied with this meeting point. The locals who wanted to visit Chiba City's attractions have already been there, and it's not interesting to squeeze with others on such holidays. It's better to find a quiet place with few people for everyone to stroll around together.

Of course, they are not really just out to stroll in the park. Girls still like to go shopping when they go out. Even though Yukinoshita Yukino herself has a strong purpose when buying things and does not like to wander around, there are many girls in the Service Club, and their opinions tend to favor shopping in the nearby commercial street first.

[Near Chiba Park]

A stunningly beautiful, enchantingly charming, and cold-faced silver-haired girl stands at the agreed meeting point, waiting.

She wears a silver-trimmed suit jacket, a white shirt inside, and a red ribbon tied at her chest.

A blue-checkered pleated skirt, black knee-high socks, and brown leather shoes.

Several young men nearby who noticed this silver-haired girl are eager to approach, but seeing her wearing the uniform of Sobu High School and standing in such a crowded place near the commercial street, they extinguish their thoughts of striking up a conversation.

Sobu High School is the top school in Chiba in terms of academic performance. It is said that the girls there are mostly beauties, either top students or young ladies, with many students coming from influential backgrounds, including wealthy and powerful second-generation heirs, and even some with yakuza connections.

If it were just the uniform of Sobu High School, it wouldn't stop them from daring to strike up a conversation. But considering her demeanor and appearance, she is clearly a young lady of high status. One must consider whether they can withstand the pressure from her influential background before daring to approach.

Only those who are bold and unafraid of death dare to approach such a young lady. Most people only dare to harass ordinary beauties, otherwise, if they provoke someone they shouldn't, they might end up contributing to the land reclamation project of Tokyo Bay tonight.

Sakurase Shino notices the gazes fixed on her gradually disappearing. Her expressionless, cold face remains unchanged as she silently stands still, looking ahead, quietly waiting for the members of the Service Club to arrive.

Such gazes are not uncommon for her. Most of the time, these people do not come up to strike up a conversation. After she coldly rejects them, few continue to pester her. Only in very rare cases might she encounter danger, which is then resolved by a passing patrol officer.

However, after encountering such situations many times, she gradually realizes that this is her own problem.

Her father was no longer around when she was old enough to remember. Perhaps because she lost her father, her mother became abnormally overprotective of her.

Later, her mother, who was always depressed, left shortly after she started junior high school, and she was taken in and adopted by her childless uncle and his wife.

However, her uncle did not treat her as an ordinary family member, but he was a timid man and did not act on his thoughts.

Her aunt, who also understood her uncle's thoughts, did not forgive him, and the family fell apart because of her.

After that, she left her uncle's home, cut off all contact, and lived alone outside.

Sakurase Shino does not blame her uncle; she can only blame herself.

After living alone and encountering several dangerous situations that she narrowly escaped, she gradually realized that as long as she is near others, she will tempt them. Therefore, she ignores normal interactions with others and stays alone, not getting close to anyone.

Only by maintaining a distance from others in daily life and making them retreat can she avoid tempting them and making them act strangely.

However...

"Shino? Why are you here so early? Good thing I came to take a look, otherwise, how long would you have waited here alone?"

Hearing the voice from behind, Sakurase Shino's body tenses, then she slowly turns around. Her cold, enchanting, flawless face faces the man at the front of the group, and her cherry lips part slightly as she murmurs in a low voice.

"Good morning, President..."

Except for this Service Club president who publicly killed someone in an alley and then went to school as if nothing happened.

President Hachiman seems unaffected by her. Even when he took her to the student guidance room and was close to her at zero distance, he was not tempted by her and even seemed not particularly concerned about her, focusing his main energy on the two elves, Iris and Aegis.

"Hmm? Shino, are you feeling better today?"

Seeing Sakurase Shino suddenly greet him, Hachiman is taken aback and looks at the autistic, silent silver-haired girl with some curiosity.

Sakurase Shino rarely speaks. Even when she is breathing heavily and can hardly bear it, she at most opens her small mouth a bit, and the sound of her inhaling and exhaling is only slightly louder, not much different from her biting her lips and making muffled sounds through her nose.

Getting her to speak is already so difficult, let alone having her take the initiative to greet someone.

'Could it be an effect of my guidance yesterday?'

Although because he was in class yesterday, he did not spend much time with Sakurase Shino and Gotou Hitori. His actions during the physical education class, taking them to the student guidance room, were more like letting them feel the atmosphere, with his main focus still on Iris and the others.

Sakurase Shino and Gotou Hitori, one autistic and one socially anxious, he cannot be too hasty with either of them. After thinking about it, it's still more appealing to assist the elf princess sisters Iris and Aegis. The harder he assists them, the more they like him.

"..."

Facing Hachiman's doubtful gaze, Sakurase Shino slightly lowers her head, her eyebrows drooping, and says nothing.

Hachiman seems unaffected by her, but she is still worried that her gradually deepening interaction with Hachiman will tempt him, make him act strangely, and become unfortunate.

Although she does not know what to do to leave this Service Club president who demands her obedience and avoid harming him.

Although... compared to Hachiman, who killed someone in the street and then went unpunished, it seems that she, with no ability to resist, is in a more dangerous situation.

"Since you're here early too, do you want to come with us for a stroll first?"

Hachiman looks at Sakurase Shino, who has fallen back into her silent state, shakes his head helplessly, and continues.

Originally, they came early to stroll around first. When the entire Service Club gathers, there will be too many people for him to take care of.

But before going shopping with Iris and the others, he thought of checking the meeting point to see if anyone had arrived early without mentioning it in the Service Club chat group.

Unexpectedly, someone did arrive early, and it happened to be today's main focus of guidance, Sakurase Shino.

"Hmm..."

Sakurase Shino looks at Hachiman and the girls beside him, nods slightly, and responds as Hachiman instructed her yesterday.

When the president speaks to her and asks her something, no matter what, she must respond, nod or shake her head, and not ignore him as she does with others.

Whether it's because the president is unaffected by her or because he was entrusted by Teacher Hiratsuka to guide her, she does not dislike this forceful attitude of the president...

"Then I'll let Yukinoshita and the others know. Shino, let me introduce you. This is my little sister Komachi and Shion. Komachi, Shion, this is Sakurase Shino, today's leading lady."

Seeing Sakurase Shino nod in agreement, Hachiman introduces them while taking out his phone to send a message in the group, saying that Sakurase Shino is temporarily following his lead. Then he takes Sakurase Shino and Iris and the others to stroll around the commercial street.

He plans to come back when everyone has gathered. To avoid them worrying, he should let them know.

'Hmm... mainly to let Yukinoshita Yukino know.'

Because Yukinoshita Yukino's guidance has no effect, but when he guides, it works. Yukinoshita Yukino is very likely to suspect that he and Sakurase Shino have conspired to deceive her. After all, once he successfully guides Sakurase Shino, he will often be with her and cannot just ignore her.

The contrast before and after Sakurase Shino's guidance is quite significant. He must show his straightforward attitude to avoid being suspected by Yukinoshita Yukino of playing tricks behind her back.

"Is this the autistic girl you're going to guide, Onii-chan? Is Miss Sakurase a wealthy young lady?"

Komachi, holding Hachiman's arm, glances at Sakurase Shino, who is silently following behind, and whispers to Hachiman.

She wanted to greet her earlier, but seeing her cold expression and silent demeanor, she hesitated and did not greet her as casually as usual.

It is said that she is an autistic girl, so she must be careful not to act rashly and avoid causing trouble for her brother.

She has to be cautious because for sensitive autistic people, a casual word from a stranger can make them overthink. It's hard to detect what such autistic people are thinking, and if a misunderstanding arises, it could be bad.

"Shino is not wealthy; in fact, she should be living alone now."

Hachiman thinks for a moment, then lowers his head to whisper in Komachi's ear, briefly explaining Sakurase Shino's family background.

Sakurase Shino has not told him about her family, but Hiratsuka-sensei, who entrusted the Service Club with guiding the autistic girl, provided some basic family information.

Previously, it was Yukinoshita Yukino who was guiding her, and he also had an impression of why Sakurase Shino is autistic and how to guide her out of it, so he did not pay much attention. Today, he is going to help with the Service Club members, so naturally, he needs to explain to Komachi, Iris, and the others.

Seeing Hachiman talk about this silver-haired girl, Asougi Shion moves closer to Komachi to listen together, while Iris and Aegis, on the other side of Hachiman, quietly use magic to eavesdrop.

"What?"

"Her parents are no longer around?"

"Miss Sakurase has had such an experience?"

After hearing Hachiman's explanation, Komachi subconsciously covers her mouth to prevent herself from exclaiming, then secretly glances at Sakurase Shino, who is walking coldly beside Iris.

Originally, she thought that her aloof and cold demeanor was due to experiencing school bullying or domestic violence.

Unexpectedly, it seems more serious.

'Miss Sakurase has no family left...',Asougi Shion feels very sympathetic towards Sakurase Shino's experience. Having recently experienced family breakdown herself, she feels a sense of empathy.

Although her parents are not dead, it's almost the same as if they were.

If it weren't for her brother taking her in, she doesn't know if she could have run away and lived alone.

'How old is Miss Sakurase? She has just started high school, so she must have lost her parents earlier than Shion.',Iris and Aegis have not experienced the loss of family. Their mother, the Elf Queen, gave birth to them from the Elf Mother Tree, without consuming lifespan or leaving any hidden injuries from battles. It will be a long time before the Elf Queen grows old and dies.

However, the kind-hearted girls also feel sorry and sympathetic towards Sakurase Shino's experience.

Seeing that they all sympathize with Sakurase Shino's experience, Hachiman nods slightly.

Although it's a bit overstepping to tell everyone about Sakurase Shino's situation without her permission, but for Sakurase Shino, who now resists getting close to strangers and is autistic, it's necessary to let her feel the warmth of everyone.

If he doesn't let everyone understand why Sakurase Shino is so autistic, it's hard for them to keep enthusiastically taking care of Sakurase Shino, who keeps a cold face, doesn't speak much, and doesn't respond.

There's nothing wrong with being sympathized with for having unfortunate experiences. If one insists on not allowing others to sympathize, that would be strange.

If Komachi and the others' sympathy and care can melt Sakurase Shino's cold and hard heart, then he won't need to expend his energy physically melting Sakurase Shino's body and mind, making her obediently open her heart to accept his goodwill.

"Then, Onii-chan, are you planning to take in Miss Sakurase too?", Glancing at the oblivious silver-haired girl Sakurase Shino, Asougi Shion hesitates, then whispers to Hachiman.

"Do you want me to take her in?", Hachiman raises his hand to pat Asougi Shion's head, gently stroking her smooth, black hair, and asks in a low voice.

"From Miss Sakurase's perspective, I think she really needs the warmth of family now. Living alone can be very confusing and depressing. But from your perspective, I don't want you to make a hasty decision. You're already under a lot of pressure.", Asougi Shion, feeling the warmth on her head, answered softly.

She admits that she's being a bit selfish. She herself was saved by her brother, but now, seeing someone with a similar experience, she wants to stop her brother from saving them.

But she really doesn't want to see her brother under so much pressure.

Her brother is just a high school student with not much money. She's waiting to grow up a bit more to help share his burden.

"Shion, you... what are you thinking about all day?", Hachiman shakes his head speechlessly, then lowers his head to kiss Asougi Shion's smooth, fair forehead, comforting her.

"Don't worry, her parents left her some inheritance. It's not much, but it should be enough to get her through high school."

"As for my pressure, Shion, why do you think I'm under a lot of pressure? Don't you know that Iris is an elf princess?"

Although Shion is mistaken—he never thought of adopting Sakurase Shino, who is about the same age as him—her words reveal what she usually thinks.

Logically, without a part-time job or financial support from his parents, it would be difficult for him to afford Shion's expenses.

Although Shion doesn't have high demands for food and drink, eating with him and Komachi is enough, but rent and school fees are the major expenses.

But if he didn't have some sense, why would he choose to take care of Shion?

Not to mention the one million yen he earned yesterday, or the potential gains from causing trouble at the Poiman family tonight, just looking at the elf princess Iris beside him, it's clear he won't be short of money.

He just doesn't want to live off others, not that he can't.

"Ah? Sister Iris?", Asougi Shion is stunned, her expression became weird as she turned to look at Iris on the other side of Hachiman.

She never expected this answer. In her view, her brother and Sister Iris are just in an ordinary romantic relationship.
