Diary Of Service Club, Helping The Elf Princess

[🎉 Shoutout to CyberArsonist for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

When he felt a little tired from kicking, Hikigaya waved his hand, signaling Kenichiro Miwa to scram.

Kenichiro Miwa got up silently without saying a word, limping out.

Watching his retreating figure, Hikigaya couldn't help but nod to himself.

'He's pretty good at enduring, but going straight to retaliate against Saki Hayase's childhood friend yesterday shows he has a strong vengeful streak.'

'Looks like I can't let you off. I'll go claim the reward for hunting that minotaur tonight.'

"Um... President..."

Saki Hayase timidly called out, looking at Hikigaya, who seemed like a completely different person—nothing like the gentle attitude he had shown her before.

'The president now feels so scary… though also very reliable...'

"There's still some time before lunch break ends. Now it's your turn," Hikigaya glanced at this brainless, big-chested girl who needed some disciplining. After checking the time, he turned and walked into the special building.

"Ugh... President..."

Knowing she was about to get a harsh scolding, Saki Hayase let out a mournful wail and involuntarily followed him.

Hikigaya brought Saki Hayase to the special building and walked to the Service Club's activity room. Without hesitation, he opened the door and entered.

Saki Hayase followed closely behind, glancing around to examine the layout of the Service Club's room.

But after just a few looks, she realized how quiet the room was. Hikigaya, who had walked in first, was sitting on a chair, looking at her with an expressionless face.

"President..."

Saki Hayase immediately suppressed her curiosity about the room and timidly looked at Hikigaya with a pitiful expression.

Although he no longer looked as fierce as when he dealt with Kenichiro Miwa earlier, his expressionless face still seemed to indicate he was in a foul mood. She didn't dare raise her voice.

"Apologize for what? Do you know what you did wrong? Sit here properly and reflect seriously."

Seeing Saki Hayase's cowering and timid appearance made Hikigaya angry. With a stern face, he pointed to the floor in front of him.

If he didn't make this big-chested, brainless girl realize her problems, she would likely keep running into situations like this in the future. He wasn't planning on babysitting her forever.

Currently, his combat experience and skills could easily handle an average delinquent, but his physical fitness hadn't improved. He still needed to find ways to enhance it.

Otherwise, if a group of people stood still in front of him and let him hack away, he might still collapse from exhaustion.

"I understand where I went wrong..."

Saki Hayase obediently knelt on the floor, speaking softly.

"Then what exactly was wrong?"

Hikigaya glanced at the I-know-where-I-went-wrong look on her face and was skeptical.

If she could really understand where she went wrong so easily, would she even be this foolish in the first place?

"I-I shouldn't have met with Kenichiro alone..."

Saki Hayase lowered her head so much that her smooth, fair chin nearly touched her overly full chest as she whispered.

After speaking, she noticed Hikigaya wasn't reacting, so she couldn't help but sneak a glance up. Seeing him staring at her, she panicked and quickly lowered her head even further.

"No, your mistake lies in being too soft-hearted and gullible," Hikigaya finally spoke after a long silence, looking at this foolish woman with a pure appearance but indecent figure.

"Whatever others say, you believe. Even completely unreliable verbal promises, you take them as true."

"You thought that surveillance cameras were enough to make it safe to meet alone? Brainless. You didn't even notice the cameras were broken."

"I-I..."

Saki Hayase felt wronged. She simply hadn't noticed; she wasn't actually that stupid.

But Hikigaya ignored the almost-crying look on her face and mercilessly continued:

"Even if the cameras weren't broken, in a secluded place like that, what would you do if he forcefully attacked you? Report it to the police afterward?"

"With your personality, you'd probably just keep it a secret, only to be blackmailed later with photos or videos."

"You'd make one mistake after another until you end up as his slave."

"Remember, you must always be cautious in what you do in the future. Even with me, you should be on guard."

"Can you guarantee I won't make a move on you? If I wanted to act against you, you couldn't escape now no matter what. You can't rely on others' kindness to ensure your own safety."

"But, President, you're a good person..."

Hearing Hikigaya use himself as an example, Saki Hayase instinctively retorted.

Her voice was small—she didn't dare raise it given her timid nature—but it made Hikigaya furious.

"Is that the point? Were you even listening to what I said just now?"

"You think I'm a good person, so you don't care about my safety? Using me as a shield in front of Kenichiro?"

Hikigaya stared fiercely at the big-chested, brainless fool.

Just now, when facing Miwa Kenichiro, Hayase Saki said that she and her childhood friend weren't in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. At that moment, this Hayase Saki behaved unusually and hugged his arm, as if trying to make Miwa Kenichiro believe that she and he were the real couple.

This was clearly using him as a shield to prevent Miwa from retaliating against her childhood friend Fukuyama Keita because of her.

Originally, he planned to settle this potential threat, Miwa, tonight and wasn't worried about any retaliation from Miwa. If they dared to ambush him, he dared to ensure they'd never return.

But he had good intentions, helping this brainless big-breasted fool avoid being corrupted by those scumbags into becoming a sow or a public property. He never thought of wanting her gratitude. He just didn't expect that she'd still use him as a shield to keep her childhood friend from being retaliated against by Miwa Kenichiro.

Of course, from Hayase Saki's perspective, it might not be a big deal. It was just about protecting her childhood friend at the expense of someone she hadn't known for long.

But unfortunately, he stood on his own perspective. He wouldn't do such a foolish thing as wronging himself to please others.

"Sorry, sorry, President... I didn't mean to make you angry. I was just a little worried about Keita..."

Hayase Saki panicked as Hikigaya stared at her intensely, and she quickly tried to explain.

However, the more she explained, the more she realized she couldn't clarify herself and had no idea how to make the President less angry.

"So because you're worried about Keita being beaten up, you're making me get beaten up after school instead?"

Hikigaya looked at Hayase Saki's panicked and anxious expression without any emotion, stood up, and waved her off. "Forget it. You'd better return to your original Girls' Swim Team. The Service Club can't help you anymore."

Good people are always the ones who deserve to have guns pointed at them.

Hayase Saki cowered before the blonde-haired guy but dared to talk back to him and even use him as a shield.

If he had no other abilities, the one being beaten up after school today would probably be him.

Maybe he shouldn't have gotten involved in this from the start. After all, Hayase Saki was nothing to him, and he gained nothing from it. The system only rewarded him for hunting down Minotaurs.

Seeing Hikigaya genuinely angry and unwilling to help her, Hayase Saki bit her lip, shuffled her knees forward on the floor, and begged in a low voice.

"I... I know a magic spell that can calm your anger, President. Do you want to try it?"

"A magic spell to calm my anger? You know magic?"

Hikigaya sneered and didn't intend to pay attention to Hayase Saki. But unexpectedly, this brainless big-breasted girl directly hugged his leg and wouldn't let him leave.

She even did something even more outrageous.

"Wait! Where did you learn this from?"

"President... I really didn't mean to..."

Hayase Saki hugged Hikigaya's leg tightly with both hands, her teary eyes looking at the stunned and speechless Hikigaya as she stammered and pleaded.

"I'm sorry... Please, mmm... calm down..."

So, this was the "magic spell to calm anger" that Hayase Saki was talking about...

Hikigaya never imagined that the timid and introverted Hayase Saki, who seemed as harmless as a rabbit, could have such a bold side.

Truly, even a rabbit will bite when cornered...

Looking down at Hayase Saki's puffed-up cheeks, Hikigaya raised his head and sighed while gazing at the ceiling, feeling conflicted.

"Where did you learn this 'magic spell'? Don't tell me it was from your boyfriend?"

"From a... a book. And Keita is not my boyfriend. President, please don't be angry anymore, okay... Next time, next time I'll keep trying..."

Hayase Saki pursed her lips and softly explained to Hikigaya.

She knew she was in the wrong. At the time, when facing Miwa's questioning, she instinctively wanted Miwa to believe she was a couple with the President so that Miwa wouldn't retaliate against her childhood friend Keita.

But she really didn't mean to harm the President. She just thought the President wouldn't be afraid of Miwa, and Miwa wouldn't dare retaliate against him.

She never expected the President would be so angry...

Perhaps, it's true. She wasn't good at academics, her personality was dull and timid, and she often stammered when speaking. She was entirely incomparable to the exceptionally talented Yukinoshita Yukino.

The President allowing her to join the Service Club for protection was already very kind. Now, she even repaid his kindness by having him face Miwa's retaliation.

She had to pay for her mistake and do her best to make up for it.

Though now, she was also doing something that wronged Yukinoshita Yukino...

"You're thinking of a next time?"

Hikigaya looked at Hayase Saki, who still had residue at the corner of her mouth.

"Huh? I, I mean..."

Hayase Saki was startled and quickly tried to explain, but in her nervousness, she couldn't get the words out.

"Do you mean this is your first time?"

"Um... I didn't do it well... Doesn't the President like it?"

Hayase Saki pursed her lips, holding tightly onto Hikigaya's leg, pitifully raising her head to look at him.

It was April. The weather was just right. But in the closed-off, unventilated clubroom, it felt a bit stuffy.

Beads of sweat were forming on Hayase Saki's smooth, fair forehead, soaking into her hair and sticking to her skin. Tiny droplets of sweat trickled down her slender, white neck.

She didn't dare wipe it away, afraid that if she let go, the President would leave and never bother with her again.

"This isn't about liking or disliking. Do you even know what your current behavior implies?"

Hikigaya sighed deeply, feeling conflicted.

"By doing this, you're making me no different from that Miwa guy."

Though saying this didn't sound very convincing since he hadn't firmly refused her actions.

If he were determined to leave, would Hayase Saki dare bite him?

.. Well, Hayase Saki probably would bite if she got desperate.

"President, you're a good person... I'm the one who's wronged you..."

Hayase Saki lowered her head silently. The situation they were in now was entirely her fault.

If she hadn't acted impulsively by going to see Miwa or tried to make the President stand in for Keita to face Miwa's retaliation, she wouldn't have made the President angry...

The President was obviously a good person who had gone through all this trouble for her, worried about her being bullied by Miwa...

"...I'll handle Miwa, but you really need to work on your personality."

Looking at Hayase Saki, who seemed so timid and afraid he'd leave, Hikigaya shook his head helplessly. He brushed aside the messy strands of hair stuck to her sweaty forehead and pulled out a tissue to wipe the sweat off her cheeks and forehead.

"It's not about not trusting people. It's about protecting yourself more."

"If something like this happens again, call me first. Don't think it's a bother or be afraid I'll scold you. If you don't tell me, that's when I'll really scold you."

If Hayase Saki had told him when she first got the message, today's situation would have been much easier.

He could have easily set up an ambush by calling Kaede to bring the Disciplinary Committee here.
