Diary Of Service Club, Helping The Elf Princess

Hikigaya explained that although Komachi might bring her classmates over to stay temporarily today, they would only stop by briefly and wouldn't interfere with each other.

"Just one younger sister? Then we can take turns keeping her occupied."

"In that case, rewards can be given immediately after training, which should greatly boost motivation, right?"

"Then let's hurry and go."

Yuna, Yuina, and Rin exchanged glances before decisively agreeing.

"What about me and Hayase-senpai?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's pretty face stiffened as her sharp eyes stared at Hikigaya, who seemed to be enticed by the three girls.

'Does this guy even know what he's doing?'

"Of course, we're all going together. This task requires the entire Service Club to complete it."

Hikigaya looked at Hayase Saki and said, "Hayase, you too. Club activities do not allow early leaving."

Originally, he had planned to cause trouble for Miwa after the swimming club's activities ended and he left the school gates, but now it seemed like it would have to wait. He couldn't rest assured letting this big-breasted but brainless person go off on her own.

"Then I'll help you think of how to train."

Hearing that Hikigaya wanted everyone to go together, Yukinoshita Yukino's cold expression eased slightly.

At least he wasn't entirely hopeless and still understood that he was helping others complete a request.

Although both the task itself and the rewards for completing it seemed ridiculous no matter how one looked at them, as it was the first request for the Service Club, they had to give it their all to complete it.

"Alright, President... Then I'll let Keita know, so he doesn't wait for me..."

Faced with Hikigaya's instructions, Hayase Saki hesitated for a moment before messaging her childhood friend.

As the only second-year student present, her words carried the least weight. Timid as she was, she didn't even dare raise her voice in front of the three gyarus.

"Sorry, Keita, I'm not feeling well today, so I'm heading home first."

Timid and shy Hayase Saki couldn't leave school early without informing her childhood friend. Naturally, Hikigaya also needed to let his own childhood friend know.

It just so happened that today was Vignette's first day as a transfer student. Typically, such students would tour the school with teachers or classmates to familiarize themselves with the environment and various clubs before leaving.

The student council members, Kaede and Suzu, happened to accompany Vignette home.

'Hmm... Does this mean I missed a good chance to tour the school with Gabriel and establish a connection?'

'Judging from today's friendly interactions with Gabriel, it was very likely she would've joined me on the tour.'

'Oh well. Since Gabriel is my desk neighbor and Vignette was his neighbor at home, there would still be opportunities to form a good relationship later. There is no need to rush.'

As Hikigaya wondered whether he was being serious enough about leading Gabriel astray, he took Yukinoshita Yukino, Hayase Saki, and the three gyarus—Yuna, Rin, and Yuina—to the train station.

He didn't notice Makoto Usui, the prefect at the school gate, preparing to greet him. [T/N: In chapter 7 or so it was Makoto Mizuki, at that time I didn't know who she was but now I know so it is changed to Makoto Usui. Check illustration in Auxillary chapter]

Makoto Usui's eyes fell on the gyarus—Yuna, Rin, and Yuina—who walked out of the school gates with Hikigaya. They loosened their collar buttons as soon as they left, tied their school jackets around their waists, and joked and laughed with him.

Usui frowned slightly.

'Why didn't Hikigaya wait for Kaede and the others to head home together today? And why is he hanging out with these gyarus instead?'

'Does Kaede know about this?'

Although they hadn't known each other long, Makoto Usui was Kaede's seatmate and had been introduced to the role of prefect by her.

She knew that Kaede liked her childhood friend, Hikigaya, a lot but hadn't confessed for some reason.

Now, seeing Kaede's childhood friend seemingly mixed up with girls who didn't have a great reputation, Makoto felt indignant on her friend's behalf.

But since she was busy with her prefect duties, she couldn't clarify things for Kaede.

Before coming to Sobu High, Usui Makoto, with her rigid personality and overly meticulous way of doing things, was utterly disliked by her classmates. Everyone stayed far away from her, and she didn't even have a single friend.

After arriving at Sobu High, she ended up seated in front of and behind Kaede, who was enthusiastic, cheerful, and understanding. The two quickly became good friends, commuting together to the station and spending weekends shopping or watching movies.

When Kaede was appreciated by her senior, Iroha Isshiki, and became the student council president, Kaede recommended Makoto for the role of disciplinary committee member, where she met many good people among the other committee members.

However, in Makoto's heart, Kaede was always number one.

"Usui? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's nothing. Thank you, Kotegawa, for your concern. By the way, Kotegawa, you're in Class 1-F, right?"

Usui Makoto came back to her senses and smiled faintly at Kotegawa Yui, the black-haired disciplinary committee member who showed concern for her. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she leaned closer to whisper.

She remembered that Kaede's childhood friend was also in Class 1-F, like Kotegawa Yui.

"Yes, I am. Is there something you want to ask, Makoto-san?"

Kotegawa Yui nodded and looked at Makoto with puzzlement as she suddenly acted all secretive.

"I'd like to ask for your help. The Hikigaya in your class..."

Usui Makoto whispered in Kotegawa's ear, and Kotegawa Yui's expression gradually shifted from confusion to indignation.

"Improper relationships between boys and girls?"

"How shameless!"

Seeing the usually serious Kotegawa Yui look so angry, Usui Makoto quickly grabbed her, worried she'd march off to confront Hikigaya immediately.

"Kotegawa, calm down. Don't get angry. I'm only suspicious right now, not certain."

"I hope you can secretly observe things in your class. Once you've observed enough, let's analyze it together to avoid any misunderstandings."

"Just a suspicion? Alright, I'll observe during breaks."

Kotegawa Yui was taken aback, her expression softening. As a disciplinary committee member, she absolutely could not tolerate improper relationships between boys and girls in school.

However, since this was merely Makoto's suspicion, there was no need for her to be so angry.

"Alright. Thank you for your help, Kotegawa."

Seeing Kotegawa Yui calm down, Usui Makoto secretly let out a sigh of relief.

She didn't ask Kotegawa why she would only observe during breaks.

In school, Kotegawa Yui was a highly disliked disciplinary committee member, even more so than herself.

Unforgiving toward those who disrupted school order, Kotegawa would strictly enforce searches and confiscations of prohibited items.

However, Kotegawa was as strict with herself as she was with others.

Paying full attention during class and never slacking off was a matter of course for Kotegawa Yui.

Hikigaya had no idea that even though he had already left school for club activities, he was still being monitored by the disciplinary committee.

Now, bringing so many girls home for the first time, to be honest, he felt a bit nervous.

Especially since he wasn't sure what kind of "reward" those three gyaru girls would give him.

The first request for the Service Club required him to go home, something he hadn't anticipated at all.

Originally, he had planned to wait until after killing the Minotaur to turn his home into the club activity location.

'Would the Service Club really turn into the Servicing Club in the future…'

Hikigaya muttered complaints to himself as he led Yukinoshita Yukino and Shirasaki Yuna to his house. Just as he was about to take out his keys to unlock the door, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

"Hiratsuka-sensei?"

Seeing the name on the screen, Hikigaya answered the call in confusion, while Yukinoshita Yukino and the others stood by, waiting.

"Hikigaya, where are you?"

As soon as he answered, Hiratsuka Shizuka's loud voice came through.

"I brought the Elf Princess to visit your Service Club, but there wasn't a single person there."

"Uh… the Service Club received a request today, so Yukinoshita and I went off-campus to handle it."

Hikigaya was taken aback and hesitated to respond.

What a coincidence—he had been contemplating how to connect with the Elf Princess, only for her to visit the Service Club while he was out handling a request.

"What kind of request requires you to leave campus? Forget it. Since you're not at school, I won't bother you. I'll take the Elf Princess to visit other clubs."

Beep!

"..."

Looking at his phone after Hiratsuka abruptly ended the call, Hikigaya felt a little speechless.

'Is Hiratsuka-sensei really not teasing me? Did she seriously bring the Elf Princess to the Service Club?'

The Service Club was just a repurposed abandoned classroom, barely cleaned up and far from finished. What was there to see?

[A/N: The next request involves the Elf Princess. Originally, I planned for her to appear first, but considering Yukinoshita Yukino's likely intense reaction, I decided to ease her in with a smaller event first. Please bear with me.]

Indeed, what was there to see in the Service Club, which had nothing but an activity room?

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought the same as Hikigaya.

But that wasn't the point—the point was that the Elf Princess Iris by her side wanted to visit.

While showing Iris and her knightly guard, Aegis, around the school, they passed by the Special Building where the Service Club was located. Hiratsuka casually mentioned that the Special Building wasn't worth much attention, mainly used for storage, though a Service Club had recently been created there to help others.

This offhand comment instantly piqued Iris's interest.

"Those with compassion in their hearts give to those in need. People call them volunteers…"

"Club activities are about extending a helping hand to those facing difficulties…"

"Two teenagers, previously unconnected, starting a Service Club only a day apart…"

"This romantic feeling… Is it a fateful encounter?"

Because Iris found the volunteer-style Service Club fascinating, Hiratsuka Shizuka brought her to visit.

Who would have thought that Hikigaya and the others weren't in the clubroom, having gone off-campus for a request?

She couldn't help but suspect that Yukinoshita Yukino and Hikigaya were messing with her.

'What kind of request requires them to leave campus?'

'Your club only has two members—who would even come to you with requests?'

'Are these two using the guise of club activities to go on a date?'
