Diary Of Service Club, Helping The Elf Princess

She also felt that something was off. Was her method incorrect? Hikigaya didn't even show a hint of pain on his face.

"Stepping down directly doesn't cause much damage. You need to simultaneously apply pressure to truly exert force and make little Hikigaya feel your punishment..."

"Yumiko, you can sit down first..."

Yuina pondered for a moment, recalling a video she had once seen, and translated it for Miura Yumiko.

"Oh... makes some sense..."

Miura Yumiko nodded in confusion, then sat back on Hikigaya's bed to accept Yuina's guidance on how to deliver proper punishment to Hikigaya.

"Tss..."

Under Yuina's translated guidance, Miura Yumiko carefully studied for a while and finally started to grasp how to make Hikigaya feel pain through her punishment.

Seeing Hikigaya gritting his teeth and enduring the pain without uttering a sound, Miura Yumiko felt a rush of satisfaction.

'You dared take advantage of me and even showed that helpless and disdainful expression? Now you know my power, huh.'

Initially, she didn't intend to trample on Hikigaya's dignity, but this guy didn't seem to take her seriously. If she didn't do this, Minami and the others would.

Although this method was effective—making the previously arrogant Hikigaya endure silently—it made her legs sore...

"Pfft!"

"What is this?"

While distracted, Miura Yumiko suddenly felt a warmth on her cheek and instinctively licked her lips.

"Little Hikigaya has started to fight back, but Yumiko, you're getting tired too. Let us take over punishing him."

Yuina quickly pulled the slightly confused Miura Yumiko, who was about to ask Hikigaya what was going on.

They needed to get Miura Yumiko out of the room—any further and it would be hard to keep the truth from her.

"Yeah, yeah, Yumiko, you should go clean up first." [TN: It was a footjob guys]

Minami and Rin, who were helping to grab tissues, chimed in hurriedly.

Although they had already confirmed that Miura Yumiko hadn't taken biology lessons seriously and mainly watched romance dramas, making her knowledge of male-female relations superficial, their cover story wasn't flawless. If Yumiko started asking questions, the truth could easily unravel.

"He dares to fight back? Yuina, you must punish him properly for me."

Miura Yumiko looked down at Hikigaya, who was breathing lightly without showing a hint of remorse, then touched her golden hair. Noticing something strange on it, she angrily stomped on Hikigaya again before wiping her hair with a tissue and leaving the room for the bathroom.

———

"Whew!"

"Mission accomplished!"

Once Miura Yumiko left the room, Yuina, Minami, and Rin all let out a sigh of relief, exchanged glances, and revealed mischievous smiles of success.

"You guys are really going overboard. Aren't you afraid Yumiko will figure it out and come after you?"

Hikigaya looked at the three girls, somewhat speechless. He had made a huge profit today and was prepared for Yumiko's retaliation, but what were these three getting out of it?

"Clearly, little Hikigaya, you enjoy this."

Rin, who had just helped wipe away the marks with tissues, pouted.

He didn't resist when Yumiko was there, and now in his post-pleasure state, he was starting to scold them?

"What does my enjoyment have to do with this? I also like Tenma-san. Should we trick her into coming here too?"

Hikigaya rolled his eyes at Rin. He wasn't blaming them but trying to figure out what to do next.

There was no way Miura Yumiko would remain clueless forever.

"Hehe, little Hikigaya, you're so greedy. But I don't mind~"

Yuina blinked playfully, sat on Hikigaya's lap, wrapped her slender, fair arms around his neck, and whispered with a soft giggle into his ear.

"Actually, little Hikigaya, you don't need to worry. Yumiko doesn't have a boyfriend—you could be her boyfriend, you know."

They weren't just trying to let little Hikigaya take advantage of Yumiko temporarily. The ultimate goal was to make Miura Yumiko his girlfriend.

"...Do you think she'd agree? She's still pretty annoyed with me."

Hikigaya was a bit exasperated. Were they gods or something, thinking they could reverse Yumiko's feelings?

"Not now, but if she punishes you a few more times with us, maybe she will."

Rin stomped lightly on Hikigaya as she spoke.

"Yumiko has a bad temper, doesn't have many male friends, and usually hangs out with Ichiji and Marin. She likes giving orders but is relatively simple-minded."

"After she finishes punishing you, just treat her a little better. She'll forgive you easily."

"If you want to get close to her, make her mad again and bring her home to punish you."

"Exactly, that's Rin's own strategy too."

Minami added on the side. Yumiko's personality was quite similar to Rin's—they both had fiery tempers. Rin was just more rough around the edges and often spoke crassly.

"Minami, will you die if you don't speak? I swear I'll have little Hikigaya do you next."

Rin glared at Minami.

"Go ahead, I dare you. Wait until Yumiko comes back and see how you explain it."

Minami didn't back down, directly provoking Rin to confront her head-on.

"...", thought Hikigaya.

What could he even say about these two troublemaking gyaru?

"Fufufu~ aren't their relationships great?"

Seeing Hikigaya at a loss for words, Yuina wrapped her arms around him, kissed his cheek lightly, and whispered with a soft laugh.

———

Meanwhile, downstairs...

"Miura-senpai? What happened to you?"

Downstairs in the living room, Miura Yumiko, who was about to head to the bathroom to wash her hair and clean her face, suddenly noticed Komachi and her classmate, Asogi Shion, sitting on the living room sofa and looking at her.

"No, nothing, I just accidentally spilled some milk and need to clean up."

Miura Yumiko felt a bit awkward and quickly came up with an excuse.

Just now, she had been disciplining and punishing someone else's brother in their house—how could she even bring herself to say that out loud?

Even though she had been taken advantage of first, stepping on him in return might have been a bit excessive, maybe even degrading him a little.

She figured she'd make Hikigaya apologize to her properly later, and they could reconcile after that. After all, they were desk neighbors in class…

After giving a brief explanation to Komachi, Miura Yumiko hurried off to the bathroom, unable to face Komachi any longer.

However, Komachi watched her fleeing figure with an excited look on her face.

"Wow! Big Bro is really doing something unspeakable with the older girls."

She had been suspicious ever since they locked the door upstairs, and now, seeing Miura Yumiko, her doubts were confirmed.

Milk? She had taken other drinks upstairs herself, so why would Miura-senpai specifically need milk and end up spilling it on her hair and clothes?

'But wait, where are Yuina-senpai, Minami-senpai, and Rin-senpai?'

'Miura-senpai came downstairs, but the other three are still in the room.'

'It couldn't be that Miura-senpai was playing alone with onee-chan while the others just watched, right?'

'Who would have thought... Big Bro actually managed to hook up with four beautiful and adorable senpai at once. I used to worry that he'd end up alone for life…'

Now Komachi was starting to worry about her brother's health.

Although his physical fitness was decent, it wasn't particularly strong. Could he really handle facing four beautiful girls all at once?

"Hmm... That person just now…"

Sitting next to Komachi, the black-haired, straight-haired girl Asogi Shion glanced at the bathroom and then upstairs. Her cold, expressionless face only betrayed a slight movement as she pursed her lips.

She had always admired Komachi's brother, feeling that he was like her late father—sometimes stern and imposing, other times warm and reliable.

But now… Komachi's brother didn't seem quite so untouchable anymore…

———

"What was that stuff? Why was it so hard to clean off?"

After cleaning her face and washing the stuff out of her hair in the bathroom, Miura Yumiko returned to the room. Hikigaya and Yuina, along with the others, had already tidied up the room and opened the windows to let in fresh air.

Even so, Miura Yumiko was still grumbling.

Clearly, she was supposed to be punishing Hikigaya, but somehow, it felt like she was the one being punished instead. Her hair was really hard to manage.

"Little Hikigaya is just a boy going through puberty—it's perfectly normal for there to be a lot."

Yuina covered her mouth with her small hand, softly laughing as she looked at Miura Yumiko, whose hair still had a few damp spots.

Miura Yumiko wasn't completely ignorant, but she hadn't connected these events to a male-female relationship yet. For now, she still thought they were "bullying" Hikigaya in a playful, punishment-like way.

If they wanted Hikigaya to end up with Miura Yumiko, they needed to make her gradually realize what had happened between her and Hikigaya.

But they had to control the situation carefully—otherwise, Miura Yumiko wouldn't be easy to appease in the short term.

"We should probably head back soon. Miura, do you still want to keep playing?"

Rin glanced at the time, preparing to make her exit.

Although Hikigaya still seemed to be in good shape and they could continue having fun, Miura's attitude made it harder to say for sure.

Since Miura thought this was all about punishing Hikigaya, they couldn't exactly do other things in front of her. It was better to call it a day—after all, they couldn't keep stepping on Hikigaya forever, could they?

"It's not like I have anything to talk about with this guy. Of course, I'm leaving with you."

Miura Yumiko spoke irritably. They had come together, so of course, they would leave together. Why would anyone think she'd stay behind alone?

She wasn't into excessive sadism or anything; just punishing Hikigaya briefly was enough.

"By the way, Yumiko, make sure you don't tell anyone about this," Minami reminded her.

Miura Yumiko might be simple-minded, but the others weren't. If word got out, their intentions would be exposed quickly.

While they didn't expect to keep it a secret forever, they needed Yumiko and Hikigaya to make some progress before it got out. Otherwise, it would just be awkward.

"I know, I'm not that dumb."

Annoyed by their repeated warnings, Miura Yumiko waved them off irritably.

She wasn't a child—there was no way she'd go blabbing about this.

Even though the punishment had been agreed upon by Hikigaya, it still came across as a bit like bullying. She knew it would cause trouble if she talked about it.

"Not that dumb…"

Having enjoyed the benefits of being surrounded by the four girls, Hikigaya fell silent for a moment as he looked at the annoyed Miura Yumiko.

This Miura Yumiko… was she starting to resemble that idiotic tsundere devil?

Having helped Yuina and the others fool such an innocent girl, Hikigaya suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

"Hikigaya, I won't tell anyone about today. But if you don't want to be punished again, you'll have to be my lackey in class," Miura Yumiko said after some thought.

Normally, she only hung out wirh Ichiji and Marin, but after today, she felt she should expand her social circle. Otherwise, when Ichiji and Marin had plans, she'd be left alone.

Most of the girls in class already had their own cliques, and she didn't want to lower herself by joining them.

She also didn't want to approach the other boys, but Hikigaya seemed like a good fit. He was always quick to leave after school, and aside from Yuina and her group, the only other girl who spoke to him was the newly transferred Tenma Gabriel.

In class, Hikigaya sat next to her, so it would be convenient to have him run errands or give up his seat for Natsumi to sit with them.

"A lackey? I don't have time to be your lackey."

Hikigaya rejected her proposal without hesitation.

Actually, Hikigaya had no objections to following a queen-like Miura Yumiko, who showered him with benefits while wearing black stockings.

Although her temper was occasionally irritable and she liked to give orders, she genuinely cared about the friends around her. If he became a considerate and attentive attendant by her side, the chances of winning her over were quite high.

After all, this idiot might even mistake rewards for punishments. If he didn't do a good job as an attendant, she'd probably come to his house every day to "punish" him.

However, unfortunately, he was very busy. Just the task of assisting the elf princess already took up most of his time, not to mention patrolling the school for minotaurs and triggering other missions. He simply didn't have the time to be Miura Yumiko's attendant.

"Not even a moment's hesitation? Don't be so ungrateful."

Seeing Hikigaya decisively refuse her offer, Miura Yumiko suddenly felt angry.

She had invited him into her circle, intending to bring him along in the future, yet he wasn't willing?

Although it was about being an attendant, at most, she'd only ask him to run errands or buy things. It wasn't as though she'd punish him like this.

Serves him right for being ostracized.

"Friends are fine, but I can't be your attendant."

Hikigaya, although unsure of Miura Yumiko's exact intentions, guessed that they weren't overly malicious. This idiot was simply spoiled by her family and friends and didn't harbor any truly bad intentions.

However, he still shook his head firmly.

He was the president of the Service Club; how could he be an attendant for Miura Yumiko in class?

Although Miura Yumiko's black stockings were indeed amazing, and the girls in her circle, like Iroha Isshiki and Marin Kitagawa, were also cute and pretty, with plenty of other beauties in their group...

As the president of the Service Club, he should be spending time with Iris, Saki Hayase, and Yukino Yukinoshita, not being an attendant for someone else.

"Hmph! Fine, we're leaving. But I'll come back next time."

Seeing that Hikigaya remained unmoved, Miura Yumiko picked up her single-shoulder handbag and stormed out of the room in frustration.

"Yumiko, don't walk so fast. Wait for us."

Yuina hurriedly called out, then kissed Hikigaya on the cheek and winked at him.

"See you later, Hachiman."

"Bye, Hachiman~ We'll deal with Yumiko for you."

Minami, unwilling to be outdone, kissed Hikigaya forcefully on the other cheek.

"You two are so shameless, kissing Hachiman before leaving."

Nijo watched as her two friends stole the first moves, pouting slightly. She placed her hands on Hikigaya's shoulders, bringing their foreheads and noses close, synchronizing their breaths.

"But I'll make sure Hachiman knows I'm his favorite."

[Ding~]

[Task completed: Gyaru's Supportive Boyfriend]

[Reward: Daily Progress]

Hikigaya touched his lips, which Rin had kissed so fervently, and was momentarily stunned by the system's notification.

He hadn't expected to complete the mission just like this. He thought he'd need more interactions with them or additional training sessions.

However, he didn't hide his changes much while spending time with them. In their eyes, he was already a handsome guy. Though they had only trained once, his significant improvement was mainly thanks to his efforts in hunting minotaurs and earning rewards.

Now, his relationship with Yuina, Minami, and Rin had become much closer. While nothing too intimate had happened, hugging, cuddling, and other gestures were completely fine. They even helped him attract other girls, acting as his wingwomen—a relationship arguably stronger than just dating.

The next time he invited them over, it wouldn't be for training under their development commission.

Hikigaya reflected on his evolving relationships with Yuina, Minami, and Rin before focusing on the task reward.

[Daily Progress: Your body will improve with each training session, becoming stronger day by day]

This wasn't a tool or an actively triggered skill; it was a passive ability.

'Hmm… passive ability...'

Hikigaya examined the details of this ability and the daily task feature he had unlocked earlier, nodding to himself.

Although the specifics of Daily Progress weren't clear, it likely wouldn't disappoint. Coupled with the random +1 attribute boost from daily tasks, even if his body occasionally couldn't handle it, he'd ultimately bounce back stronger over time.

As expected of the gyaru development mission, the reward was straightforward and practical. In the future, he wouldn't need to worry about physical limitations.

For now, his main rival was only the elf princess. His current physical condition was more than adequate for Iris, but if the elf princess had arrived, could dragons, mermaids, or oni girls be far behind?

Not to mention, he still had Saki Hayase, Yuina, Minami, and Rin to satisfy.

Hmm… and maybe Sakurase Shino too.

The image of Sakurase Shino's indifferent yet beautiful face flashed in his mind.

Honestly, he was tempted to test the effects of Daily Progress right now to see what it took to trigger the ability.

But with Yuina and the others gone, only Komachi and her classmate Asogi Shion were at home. So, he composed himself and went downstairs to prepare dinner.

It wasn't quite mealtime yet, but it was getting close. Washing vegetables, chopping ingredients, and chatting with Komachi and Shion should pass the time nicely before dinner.

Komachi noticed that Miura seemed a bit upset, even though she wasn't angry when leaving the bathroom earlier.

'Could it be that after returning, she saw Oni-chan with those three girls and got jealous?'

'But that didn't seem entirely likely either.'

"We didn't argue. Miura just has a bit of a temper and gets angry easily."

Hikigaya shook his head. Miura Yumiko was just annoyed she couldn't recruit any followers, which had nothing to do with him. He hadn't provoked her.

Hearing this, Komachi felt relieved, but when she thought about Yuina and the others leaving after following Miura Yumiko, she couldn't help but feel a little concerned, "Oh, as long as you didn't argue... But Oni-chan, don't turn into a scumbag, okay? That way, how will Komachi introduce girls to you in the future?"

Although she was always thinking about matchmaking her brother with a girlfriend—she had even entertained the idea of helping him start a harem—she didn't want her brother to turn into someone who played with girls' feelings.

"Don't worry. She's just upset for now; she'll calm down soon. In a couple of days, she might even come over to our house on her own again."

Hikigaya explained. Of course, given his current relationship with Miura Yumiko, any visit she made would likely involve stepping all over him.

"I wasn't just talking about Miura Onee-san. What about Yuina Onee-san and the others? What's going on with them? What's their relationship with you? Why did they all come to our house today?"

Komachi rolled her eyes at Hikigaya. She didn't believe he didn't understand what she meant.

Asogi Shion also cast a curious glance in his direction.

There were some things she couldn't ask directly, but she could still quietly listen from the sidelines.

"What relationship? They're my good friends." Hikigaya thought for a moment and explained, "They're all my classmates, and they know each other well."

"You don't need to overthink it. Yuina and the others just asked the Service Club for help, so I brought them to our house."

"In the future, I might bring other Service Club members back home as well."

Considering that he might bring Saki and Iris back home in the future, he decided to give Komachi and Asogi Shion a heads-up to avoid them bombarding him with questions later.

"What kind of requests would involve bringing people home..."

Komachi felt something was off, but since her classmate was still present, she didn't pursue the matter further.

She'd have to ask Oni-chan properly later to figure out what was really going on.

"Service Club..."

Asogi Shion stared blankly at Hikigaya, pursing her lips.

"You know my Service Club is a club that helps people solve problems. They just had something they wanted help with, so don't misunderstand."

Hikigaya casually explained, not finding it strange at all.

Though such a vague explanation might still leave Asogi Shion with some misunderstandings, he didn't mind. He had no particular interest in her and only wanted to help this homeless, pitiful child. Her impression of him didn't matter.

If Asogi Shion thought he was unreliable and decided to keep some distance, that was just as well. He already had a plan for her, intending to rent her an apartment in the neighboring complex. He would ask Vignette about it later in the evening.

"Helping solve problems..."

Asogi Shion bit her lip lightly. In her brother's eyes, she was probably just a girl who needed help. Even if she wasn't Komachi's classmate, he'd probably still help her...

DING-DONG~

Just then, the doorbell at the Hikigaya household rang.

Hikigaya, who was about to cook, stiffened slightly.

'Is it Kaede and Suzu? Or is it Vignette? Or maybe all of them together?'

Even though he knew he wouldn't escape the stern questioning of his childhood friend, the student council president, who wasn't foolish and would have noticed something, he still hoped to see Vignette, the Holy Light Demon.

At least with the Holy Light Demon protecting him, Kaede wouldn't pounce on him and rip him apart.

———

"Hachiman, hurry and open the door!"

"Hachiman-kun, sorry to bother you."

"It's no bother at all. Vignette, you're welcome to come by anytime. Even if I'm not home, you can hang out with Komachi."

When Hikigaya opened the door with trepidation and saw Kaede and Suzu standing beside the purple-haired demon Vignette, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

With Vignette here, Kaede and Suzu weren't here to settle scores with him.

Kaede might be boisterous at times, but she knew her boundaries and wouldn't cause trouble in front of their new neighbor.

"Hachiman, you're so happy to see Vignette but completely ignore Suzu and me? Are you asking for a beating?"

Seeing Hikigaya light up at the sight of Vignette while barely reacting to her and Suzu, Kaede immediately raised her small, pink fist in dissatisfaction.

"You and Suzu have lived next door for years. How can you even compare yourselves to Vignette?"

Hikigaya pressed down Kaede's raised fist with a scowl, ruffling her short hair with his other hand and making it messy.

At school, Kaede had to maintain her image as the student council president, so he didn't mess with her. But now that they were off school grounds, he had no such reservations.

"Well, you've got a point... Hey, let go of me, Hachiman. You're messing up my hair."

Kaede had just brought it up casually and didn't really think there was anything inappropriate about Hikigaya and Vignette. She quickly dismissed the matter, but when Hikigaya wouldn't stop messing up her hair, she couldn't help but raise her fists to hit him again.

However, Hachiman held her fist firmly, no matter how much she struggled, and she couldn't break free.

"Why can't I get loose?"

Kaede looked incredulously at his hand, which had her fist completely immobilized. Since when did Hachiman become so strong? She was trying her best, but he didn't even look like he was exerting any effort.

"Vignette, why are you here with Kaede and Suzu? Did you need something from me?"

Hikigaya smiled nonchalantly, slinging an arm over Kaede's shoulder as he led her inside.

Since Kaede wasn't here to cause trouble, he didn't have to worry. Later, he'd think about what demands to make of Kaede to gain the upper hand. Otherwise, once she figured out the situation with the Service Club, the bet he won would be invalid.

"No, nothing in particular. Kaede just invited me along."

Vignette shook her head with slight embarrassment. She also found it a little odd, but since Kaede insisted, she followed her here.

"Kaede invited you along?"

Hikigaya paused and glanced at Kaede, whose shoulder he had in a firm grip.

"You didn't bring her along to back you up because you're worried I'd make excessive demands, did you?"

"Of course not. I just wanted her to come and hang out."

Kaede's face turned red as she quickly denied it.

"I can't believe you'd suspect me of making unreasonable demands. Do I seem like that kind of person?"

Seeing through her immediately, Hikigaya smirked and pinched her soft, tender cheek.

Just like he hoped Vignette would be there to temper Kaede's behavior, Kaede probably felt the same way—having someone unfamiliar around would make the other person behave.
