Every time the evil organizations tried every possible way to stir up trouble, a bunch of new magical girls would appear to suppress them, forcing them to abandon their teammates and flee. Life wasn't easy for the evil organizations either.
"An exclusive benefit..."
Chabashira Sae glanced at the smiling Kushida Kikyo. Seeing that almost everyone behind Kushida, including Ebihara Urara, had one of these around their necks, she didn't hesitate. She took the black collar and put it around her own long, fair neck.
The delicate black collar added a hint of allure to Chabashira Sae's cool beauty.
"Helping each other... that's quite nice..."
When Hoshinomiya Chie saw Chabashira Sae put it on without even asking whether the collar had any hidden purpose, she bit her lip instinctively. But since Chabashira Sae had already worn it, she could only smile, pick it up, and put it on herself as well.
This thing had better really be a benefit.
Otherwise... there was nothing she could do anyway...
"Alright, go over there. You don't have to force yourselves to serve Master today, but you need to explain why you want to join."
Seeing how decisive Chabashira Sae and Hoshinomiya Chie were, Kushida Kikyo was in a great mood. She lightly pressed the empathy collars around their necks, then pushed them gently on the back, signaling them to continue forward.
Matsushita Chiaki and Satou Maya, who had been lying across the bed, slowly sat up and moved to either side, watching them together with Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro Masumi.
When Chabashira Sae saw they had made a path leading straight to Hachiman, she crawled forward without hesitation. Hoshinomiya Chie could only grit her teeth and follow.
Hiding in the corner, Kashima Risako and Kisaragi Miyuki stared with flushed faces at Chabashira Sae and Hoshinomiya Chie, who were still wearing their business suit and dress, looking completely out of place among everyone else. It was as if they were seeing themselves from not long ago.
In fact, Kashima Risako and Kisaragi Miyuki hadn't actually gone that far yet. The real main force was still Hanamori Kotomi, Mizuho Kazami, and the others who had already become magical girls.
Though considering their ages, they could also be called magical older sisters.
Since there wasn't enough time, after receiving guidance, Kashima Risako and Kisaragi Miyuki mostly just assisted from the side, occasionally sharing sensations to experience firsthand how hard Hanamori Kotomi, Mizuho Kazami, and the others had it, gaining some virtual practical experience.
Well... even at this point, their relationship with Hachiman was only one final embrace away.
But since Kashima Risako and Kisaragi Miyuki had joined voluntarily, Kushida Kikyo kindly didn't force the empathy sharing on them, letting them turn it on whenever they wanted and off whenever they wanted.
Actually, Kushida Kikyo thought this arrangement was the best.
The people she brought in still counted as her achievements, but they wouldn't take away Hachiman's affection for her. They would only assist from the side.
Unfortunately, she had yet to see anyone who could keep holding back forever.
After watching long enough, everyone eventually gave in.
Not for power, not for strength, but because they came to crave the happiness Hachiman himself brought.
Even she couldn't resist him. All she could do was secretly curse Hachiman for being a womanizing scumbag.
Well... she'd curse him after enjoying herself. She didn't even dare curse him in her heart while he was right in front of her, afraid she'd give herself away. If she got punished in front of everyone, it would be far too embarrassing.
"What did you come in here for? Is there something you want me to help you with?"
Holding Hasebe Haruka and Sakura Airi in his arms, Hachiman looked at Chabashira Sae and Hoshinomiya Chie, who had slowly come over and knelt behind Karuizawa Kei, then asked after a moment of thought.
If Kashima Risako and Kisaragi Miyuki had wandered in by accident and then been dragged in half willingly by good friends who vouched for them with their character, then Hoshinomiya Chie and Chabashira Sae had knowingly entered despite realizing something was unusual.
Even though he was confident that feelings could grow over time, enough to make even someone as calculating as Kushida Kikyo sincerely accept him, he still needed to know what Chabashira Sae and the others were thinking.
"If Kotomi, Nanami, and the others can do these things, why can't I? I want what they have. I want even more."
Seeing that Hachiman really had asked about their purpose, Hoshinomiya Chie smiled faintly and straightened her proud chest slightly, looking confident.
But despite what she said, she regretted it deeply inside.
She really wanted to admit that she'd been drunk just now, that she hadn't been thinking clearly and had rushed in on impulse.
But if she answered that way, not only would she still have to serve Hachiman just like Hanamori Kotomi and the others, she'd probably lose his good opinion too. That would be a terrible loss.
Since she was already here, she might as well show her strengths and find out exactly why Hanamori Kotomi and the others had become involved with him.
Considering Hachiman's looks, physique, current reputation, and connections, getting involved with him wasn't a loss at all.
In fact, it was a huge gain.
'Strange... why did that feel a little strange...'
Watching Hasebe Haruka and Sakura Airi, both wearing silver bracelets, being handled so naturally by Hachiman, Hoshinomiya Chie found herself unconsciously sharing their feelings, her chest growing tight.
"Hikigaya-kun, I'd like to know... how did you tutor Karuizawa and the others and improve their exam scores so much in such a short time? Can you tell me that method?"
Unlike Hoshinomiya Chie, who tried to present herself a certain way, Chabashira Sae simply asked quietly.
Karuizawa Kei and the others hadn't hidden the fact that Hachiman had helped them with last-minute exam preparation.
It was just that everyone knew Hachiman was never around campus, and she wasn't close to him, so she couldn't find him.
What happened tonight had finally made her decide to ask him.
Hoshinomiya Chie understood how difficult it was to improve grades, and Chabashira Sae naturally understood that Hachiman's teaching method couldn't be ordinary. It certainly wouldn't be easy to master.
But she'd already made up her mind.
If Hachiman wasn't willing to explain the method itself, then she'd ask him to tutor Karuizawa Kei's entire class, including Ibuki Mio, Shiina Hiyori, Shiranami Chihiro, and the others who weren't here tonight.
"I see... I can't really explain the details either. I can only tell you that only I can use this tutoring method, and it only works when you're around me. The longer the time and the closer the distance, the better the effect."
Looking at Chabashira Sae, who had drunk so much yet still remained clear-headed despite smelling strongly of alcohol, Hachiman smiled and nodded. Instead of explaining the Teaching Aura directly, he described it from the perspective of magical girls.
"Well... after becoming magical girls and undergoing development training, even without me supervising them, their learning ability will improve further."
Many students from Advanced Nurturing High School had once been problem students.
Karuizawa Kei, Honami Ichinose, Kushida Kikyo, and the others all had their own emotional knots and dark pasts.
Though Chabashira Sae looked mature, tall, and cold on the outside, she also had her own dark history. In fact, her obsession was even stronger.
Back then, her class had failed to earn enough points to become Class A, and she'd never let it go.
Unexpectedly, after coming to Sobu High, she instead wanted to lead her class to first place through more conventional examinations.
Well... it was hard to tell whether Advanced Nurturing High School's system had made her this way, or whether this had always been her personality.
"To become a magical girl... do they all have to be like them?"
Chabashira Sae looked at the girls around Hachiman, her eyes flickering.
"Hikigaya-kun, could you help our class become first in the grade? I'll do anything."
"No."
Faced with this request delivered right to him, Hachiman declined for once.
"A lot of the members of the Service Club besides you are Sobu High students too. Most of them are even in the same grade as you."
"I can't promise to tutor only your class. If they want tutoring too, I'll tutor them as well."
Not many people actually competed for first place academically.
Komachi, worried that he'd fill her head with inappropriate thoughts, preferred not to let him help. Normally she just wanted to study on her own and get good grades.
But among the many members of the Service Club, there were certainly people who enjoyed studying and wanted first place. Yukino was the type who refused to lose to others, while Sakayanagi Arisu, who hadn't yet become a magical girl, was even more competitive.
Simply put, the Teaching Aura worked better the closer someone was to him and the longer they spent with him.
If Karuizawa Kei's class became first in the whole grade, wouldn't that make it his favorite class?
This wasn't just about one or two people.
He could help those who had nowhere to go, who were being hunted and needed protection, or those seeking help with having children.
But he couldn't decide which group became his favorite.
"I understand."
Chabashira Sae nodded expressionlessly.
She slowly stood up and removed her clothes one by one, the black jacket, white blouse, dark pencil skirt, purple hairband, and black pantyhose, folding them neatly and placing them beside her.
She knelt once more before Hachiman, placed both hands flat on the bed, leaned forward, and pressed her forehead against the sheets.
"Please turn me into a magical girl as well, Hikigaya-kun."
"As long as you're willing to spend a little more time tutoring our class, you can do whatever you want with me."
"There are still people in our class like Horikita Suzune, Shiina Hiyori, and Ibuki Mio who haven't become magical girls yet. Please take good care of them in the future as well."
Once, she'd been unable to see any hope of reaching first place.
But now, with Hachiman, whose efforts always brought results, she finally saw a chance to fulfill the wish she'd held for so many years.
If she could truly make her entire class dominate Sobu High academically, she would stop at nothing.
"This..."
Looking at Chabashira Sae maintaining her dogeza posture, Hasebe Haruka, Sakura Airi, Satou Maya, and Matsushita Chiaki looked at each other, while even Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Kei were stunned.
None of them had expected Chabashira Sae to join them in serving Hachiman just to improve their grades.
She wanted to lead them in working hard together to serve Hachiman...
And then achieve first place in the entire school?
What kind of study play was this?
They were so shocked that they instinctively overlooked the fact that Chabashira Sae was competing with them for people, and that she'd already counted Shiina Hiyori, Ibuki Mio, Horikita Suzune, and the rest of the class as future members.
Seeing that Chabashira Sae was really this obsessed, willing to use even this kind of method just to make the class number one, Hoshinomiya Chie gritted her teeth.
Chabashira: 'Do you even know what you're saying? You're going to get me killed!'
In theory, this was only Chabashira Sae's business.
But if Chabashira Sae was working this hard, could she, as another member of the same class, not work hard too?
If she served alongside Chabashira Sae, Karuizawa Kei, Kushida Kikyo, and the others, Hachiman might not remember how hard she'd worked.
But if she didn't join them, he would definitely remember that.
Chapter 642: A Sleepless Night! Becoming Familiar with Hachiman's Scent!
It wasn't that Chabashira Sae didn't understand what this meant.
But this was the only thing she had to offer.
There were indeed many beautiful girls around Hachiman.
But the fact that she'd been allowed into this room tonight also meant that her body still held some value in Hachiman's eyes.
Just as Hoshinomiya Chie had said, if Kotomi, Nanami, and the others could do these things, why couldn't she?
"Raise your head. You don't need to be so formal. Just talk normally."
Looking at Chabashira Sae, who had lowered her head deeply while waiting for his reply, Hachiman thought for a moment before no longer refusing her.
"I can help you become a magical girl, but this request depends on your own efforts. I won't take the initiative to interfere in your class's affairs."
Although Chabashira Sae had her own motives, there were quite a few people around him with their own motives as well.
No matter what those motives were, once someone joined the Service Club, they were one of his people.
"I understand. I'll discuss it with Karuizawa, Sakayanagi, Kushida, and the others."
Chabashira Sae slowly raised her head and straightened her back. Looking at Hachiman watching her, she lowered her head once more.
Sitting beside Kamuro Masumi, with the blush still lingering on her delicate face as she quietly steadied her breathing and calmed her racing heart, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled.
She hadn't expected such a strong ally to join her side so quickly.
Once Chabashira Sae truly became a magical girl, she'd probably be able to bring the remaining people in the class, Horikita Suzune, Shiina Hiyori, and the others, all into the group.
Although Karuizawa Kei and Kushida Kikyo had established ties with Hachiman first and each gathered part of the class around themselves, Hachiman had already said he wouldn't interfere in class matters.
And she was the class representative.
With Chabashira Sae and Hoshinomiya Chie supporting her, it would naturally be easier for her to unite the entire class than it would be for Karuizawa Kei or Kushida Kikyo.
Well... Sakayanagi Arisu had never considered the possibility that Chabashira Sae wouldn't support her.
Karuizawa Kei only wanted to please Hachiman, while Kushida Kikyo only wanted to climb higher.
Other than her, who else would want to help Chabashira Sae?
"Cha... Chabashira... Big Sister Chabashira, come over here and serve Master."
Seeing that Hachiman had finished discussing the request with Chabashira Sae, Hasebe Haruka, who had been leaning against him, quickly gave up her place and signaled for Chabashira Sae to take over.
After enduring it for so long, someone had finally come to relieve her!
Although not much time had actually passed, she'd spent far longer watching others than being watched herself. Even counting the last exam cram session, this was only the second time she'd sat in Hachiman's arms while receiving tutoring.
She simply couldn't get used to other girls watching her while she was close to Hachiman the way Karuizawa Kei and the others could.
Even this change of places left her embarrassed.
She had never imagined herself sharing the same bed with Chabashira Sae.
No, more accurately, she'd never imagined sharing it with other girls at all!
The speed at which her relationship with Hachiman had developed, ending up like this all at once, felt unbelievable.
She didn't know whether something was wrong with herself or whether everyone else had a problem too.
The only thing that gave her a little comfort was probably that Airi had gotten her wish.
If Hachiman weren't so womanizing, then with Airi's personality, even though Airi's true self was especially beautiful, it would have been difficult for her to become close to him.
"Thank you."
Ignoring the complicated look in Hasebe Haruka's eyes, Chabashira Sae crawled over beside Hachiman, taking the place of Haruka, whose round face had long since turned bright red.
She firmly took hold of Hachiman's hand and even wrapped both arms around his neck on her own.
If she was going to do this, she'd do it completely.
Perhaps this was the last chance in her life to give herself without holding anything back.
"Next time you don't need to take off so much. If your clothes get dirty or damaged, you'll have new ones to change into."
Looking at Chabashira Sae, who showed not the slightest trace of affection in her eyes yet acted incomparably eager, Hachiman lightly patted her smooth, toned thigh.
"Ah? O-Okay."
Only after hearing Hachiman say that did Chabashira Sae notice why no one else was wearing socks.
It wasn't that they'd taken off their pantyhose or stockings beforehand to keep them from being damaged.
They were simply too torn to wear anymore.
Actually, she hadn't been worried about getting her clothes dirty or damaged.
She had only wanted to show Hachiman her sincerity by leaving herself completely defenseless.
She hadn't expected him to misunderstand.
