Hiratsuka Shizuka knew Iris and Hachiman were bold. Bold enough to even occupy her student guidance office.
But now that Iris wasn't around, Hachiman shouldn't be acting so recklessly, right?
After watching for a while, Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed that Hachiman didn't make any moves. While he wasn't paying much attention in class, he was just leaning back in his chair, leisurely making eye contact with her. Since he wasn't doing anything suspicious to the other girls, she quietly let out a breath of relief.
This guy was so troublesome. He used to be pretty obedient, but ever since he got involved with the elf princess, he skipped class every day. Enough to make teacher Mafuyu want to accompany her for a home visit.
Though Hachiman had quite a knack for guiding troubled girls and solving their issues... Right now, the gender ratio in the Service Club was severely unbalanced. A bunch of problem girls plus one massive problem boy, she couldn't help but worry that the Service Club might give birth to an even bigger problem.
Still, after aiding the elf princess, Hachiman probably wouldn't have much energy left. And with Yukinoshita Yukino, a righteous and reliable vice president watching over things, it likely wouldn't spiral that far out of control.
After analyzing the current situation and sweeping a glance at the likes of Yuina who were bowing their heads and not really studying, Hiratsuka Shizuka focused back on teaching.
But as an ordinary human unable to dispel magical concealment and fooled by illusions, she had no idea that the high-pitched sounds from Hachiman's corner had already shaken little angel Gabriel to the point where she could barely hold herself back.
Within the invisible barrier, two who were supposed to be attending class in the demi-human section, alien princess Lala and dragon tribe leader Ursula, were each sitting on one of Hachiman's thighs.
Lala and Ursula, one tall, one p*tite, leaned against Hachiman. Waterfall-like pink hair and equally thick and smooth silvery-gray hair intertwined before his chest.
Both their slender black tails unconsciously wrapped around Hachiman's waist.
Though one was a half-succubus alien princess and the other the dragon tribe's leader, different races, they had many things in common, such as tails of the same shape...
Like the ability to change size at will...
Well, that was a little different. Lala would shrink after using up her power and couldn't control it. Ursula, however, could control it herself. Their transformation principles were different.
What made Lala most special was her incredibly intelligent brain, her ability to create countless black-tech devices was even more formidable than her combat strength.
However, Lala generally had a three-minute attention span, inventing things based on her interests without sticking to a single field of study.
"Lala, didn't you just get your fill this morning? Why so eager?", While playing with the smooth and silky hair of the two girls, Hachiman looked at Lala, still immersed in afterglow, and teased with a smile.
He thought only Lala and Ursula would be present this class, so he wanted to take things slow, chatting with them first and easing into things. Unexpectedly, the moment they entered the classroom, they threw themselves onto the desk.
"Hehe, I was wearing the Sympathy Wristband last period too," Lala wrapped her jade-like arms around Hachiman's neck, rubbing his cheek infatuatedly. Her flawless, delicate face still held an intoxicating blush.
Though the most important Empathy Bracelet was carried on Hachiman, she had plenty of Sympathy Wristbands on her end, so she and Ursula had naturally worn them already.
At first, she wanted to find Hachiman during the previous period, but Iris and her two sisters were already together, and with her joining in, time wouldn't be enough to go around.
'Hmm... three sisters...'
Lala suddenly remembered that she too had sisters. Two, in fact. Twins.
Too bad Momo and Nana were probably still studying in the royal palace.
If they were on Earth, and they also liked Hachiman, the three sisters could attend class together with Hachiman.
———
Wearing the Sympathy Wristband in class...
Why did Lala act like a succubus? She should've been full from last night. Though she was, after all, a half-succubus alien.
Looking at the cheerful and sunny smile in Lala's arms, Hachiman gently caressed her pink hair cascading over her smooth back, inwardly sighing.
From Lala's cheerful appearance, one would never guess how much she enjoyed this sort of thing, she looked like nothing more than a carefree optimist.
However, beyond Lala, there were quite a few girls in Sobu High who weren't succubi but might as well be.
The taciturn, faint succubus-like Sakurase Shino went without saying.
Ichinose Ayano, a total love-brain, seemed addicted. After suffering through an agonizing night, she came to the infirmary to recover, only to return wagging her tail at him with puppy eyes.
Then there were disciplinary committee girls like Asai Saki and Sakurai Hana who repressed their own desires, Hayase Saki and her close friend Narahashi Miki, not to mention the girls in the competitive swimming club, so athletic and brimming with stamina.
If not for the ever-improving abilities granted by the mission rewards from Yuina and the others, he'd probably never crawl out of this school alive.
"Ursula, what are you doing?", Suddenly, Hachiman looked down toward the dragon girl Ursula in his other arm, stretched out both hands, and pinched her elastic cheeks, slowly pulling them outward.
"Huh? Master, what are you saying? I don't understand~", Ursula looked at him blankly, eyes filled with confusion.
"Playing dumb, huh? Expanding the barrier quietly, you think I wouldn't notice?"
Seeing Ursula still pretending, Hachiman began to roughly knead her face.
With his daily growing strength from the ever-improving ability and the Servant's Halo, not to mention system task rewards, he hadn't focused much on learning magic.
But in his spare time, he'd still learned practical magic from Iris via the Empathy Bracelet: cleaning spells, invisibility, soundproofing, etc.
Though he wasn't as skilled in casting, his mana sensing was strong enough to detect Ursula's sneaky moves.
"Well, since they're all wearing the wristbands, isn't it better to let them know what we're doing here?", Once discovered, Ursula immediately explained her intent.
"Don't worry, I'll use illusion magic to mask everything. No one will notice what we're up to!"
Of course, she wasn't trying to rebel. The normal people around here wouldn't last long anyway. Even if she did want to overthrow him, she wouldn't count on this bunch.
Right now, she just wanted Hachiman to stay seated and enjoy everything without moving a muscle.
"Heh, you think I'll believe you're being helpful? You're definitely plotting something," Unmoved, Hachiman kneaded her cheeks harder.
Ursula's words sounded fine, but coming from her mouth made them suspicious.
After all, this girl was constantly plotting how to dominate him, there's no way she'd be so docile.
"Ugh..."
Seeing Hachiman wouldn't trust her, Ursula had no choice but to stop scheming and, while pitifully gazing at him, quietly expanded the soundproof barrier to cover Ijichi Nijika, Ichinose Honami, Yuina, and the others.
What bad intentions could she possibly have?
She just wanted to wait until Hachiman was drained by wave after wave of beautiful girls, then let the vampires and succubi come in to finish him off.
That's right, it was her idea for everyone to come to Hachiman's classroom for service duty, and it was approved by Iris.
Even if succubi had strong energy-absorbing abilities, to deal with someone like Hachiman who could assist her, the elf, and so many others, she believed caution was still necessary.
Messing around and giving a few benefits was fine, but if she really pulled in the Amaki sisters and Tsukishima Sayo to rebel, Hachiman would surely make Iris cast an amplification spell, and then her legs would go weak, and she'd never be able to stand again.
"Ursula, quit the act. Take your punishment like a good girl."
Seeing Ursula still trying to look pitiful, Hachiman rolled his eyes, tapped Lala on the lap, and told her to move aside. Time to deal with this brat properly.
Ursula wasn't entirely wrong. Since Miura Yumiko and the others had all put on the sensory wristbands, it was time they knew what he was doing.
Whether they wanted to feel it or not, to immerse themselves in the experience, it was their choice. Letting them know what was being shared was necessary.
But as for the disobedient Ursula, she still needed to be properly disciplined.
At least until she was stripped of her Servant Collar and dared not disobey him again.
Lala didn't react much to Hachiman punishing the disobedient Ursula. She felt Ursula didn't dislike Hachiman, she just wanted to attract his attention with this behavior.
Ursula was a lot like her younger sister Nana, a child craving affection, acting out to get noticed.
Though she called herself the dragon clan leader and claimed to inherit generations of knowledge, knowledge was one thing, personality and mindset weren't so easily changed.
Seeing Ursula lying face-down on the desk, with only her stubborn mouth still resisting, Lala unfastened the silver bracelet from her wrist, stood beside Hachiman, stretched, and waved cheerfully to the variously shocked girls nearby: Ijichi Nijika, Miura Yumiko, Kitagawa Marin, and Ichinose Honami.
"Hello~ We met yesterday. Today I'm here to attend class with you all~"
Lala was naturally bold and cheerful. Since childhood, even when bathing in the palace, there were maids nearby, she was used to it and didn't feel the least bit shy about her current state being seen by Nijika and the others.
Although Hachiman warned her, and Iris taught her all kinds of social norms. That a girl's body should only be seen by her lover or husband.
But since all the girls here were wearing the Sympathy Wristbands, there was a high chance they'd play together in the future. Hachiman hadn't stopped her either, so why should she worry?
"..."
"..."
Faced with Lala's uninhibited greeting, Ijichi Nijika and Kitagawa Marin looked around at their clueless classmates and at Hiratsuka Shizuka still confidently lecturing at the front of the class, they couldn't help swallowing hard.
They weren't like Lala, who had no sense of boundaries. They couldn't just accept this shocking scene like it was nothing.
Yesterday when Lala and Iris visited the class, they'd learned Lala had a close relationship with Hachiman, now lived at his house, and really wanted to attend class with him.
But... was this what she meant by "attending class"?
Popping into the classroom was one thing, but like this?
Just because she had magic, did that mean she could be so outrageous?
Ijichi Nijika and Kitagawa Marin tried hard to ignore the dazzling white Lala, the Hachiman beside her, and Ursula, but even closing their eyes wouldn't block it out.
Because Ursula's piercing dragon-chant magic echoed in their ears.
Seeing a real otherworldly dragon up close for the first time, and this was the scene?
That supposedly short-tempered dragon leader didn't seem tough at all, getting bullied by Hachiman, a normal human, like this...
Completely stunned, Kitagawa Marin and Ijichi Nijika exchanged glances. Then both looked toward their close friend Miura Yumiko.
They were still okay, the current situation was just super awkward and confusing, but they'd get over it.
But what about Yumiko, who liked Hachiman and shared a terribly ambiguous relationship with him?
Faced with this scorching-hot scene, wouldn't she explode in fury?
Remember, just during break time, Yumiko was trying to recruit them to help "correct" Hachiman's weird bullying kink.
Now that he had an even crazier hobby... should they still correct him?
"...", Miura Yumiko.
She instantly noticed the burning gazes of Ijichi Nijika and Kitagawa Marin.
But right now, she couldn't say anything either.
To think she still wanted to help Hachiman, who would've thought this guy was so daring he even roped in a dragon girl from the demi-human class.
Was everyone else blind? Deaf? There was so much going on and class was still happening?
Face flushed, Yumiko looked around at Nijika, Marin, and Yuina, and realized that only the girls sitting in the back rows could see what was happening with Hachiman. The students sitting just one row ahead had no clue.
No wonder... last period, even though she didn't see Hachiman doing anything, she still felt his perversion. So this was why.
So last class... was Hachiman playing some bullying game with Yuina and the others or another girl?
Her embarrassment instantly turned into rage.
'This Hachiman, never changes!'
Having experienced Bunny Girl Night at Hachiman's house and been brought into the fun by Iris, Yuina and the others weren't shocked by the classroom commotion.
They were just surprised that little Hachiman revealed himself to Ijichi Nijika and the others all at once. Shouldn't it be a gradual approach, slowly dragging the normie group in?
So sudden, so shocking, even if Nijika and the others liked Hachiman, they'd probably start avoiding him out of embarrassment.
After school today, they might need to corner Nijika and the others, can't let them escape.
Since they'd already made plans to visit Hachiman's house, it was the perfect chance to lock things down.
The gyaru trio exchanged looks, then focused on the flushed, panicked normie group across from them, trying to figure out who was most likely to run. They'd target that one.
But aside from the gyaru and normie groups, someone else had also been drawn into the back row's hidden world.
"Gabriel? Can you hear me?"
Ichinose Honami's clear eyes held a trace of confusion. She glanced at Hachiman and Ursula, then at Yuina and the others, and finally turned to Gabriel, who was still seriously paying attention to the lesson.
Never having experienced the Empathy Bracelet or Sympathy Wristbands, Ichinose Honami was the most clueless person in the room.
