"Then I'll go to the student council office at noon and have lunch with Tsubaki and Shion."
Hachiman looked at Rurikawa Tsubaki, whose cheeks were faintly flushed, smiled, and nodded. He did not refuse Rurikawa Tsubaki, who was becoming more and more tempting and appetizing.
Although Tsubaki and Shion's magical girl outfits were not like Kaede's and Suzu's, with chains wrapped around them and scythes in hand, the straps on their bodies, single-leg stockings, thigh rings, and other details all suited his tastes just as well.
Maybe… the outfits after magical girl transformation really were constructed based on what was in his heart, slowly customized during the process of developing their magical girl talents into the outfits he liked most on them.
"I'm going to school with Tsubaki."
Seeing that Hachiman deliberately left her out of his words, Kaede rolled her eyes again, directly removed the hand Hachiman had placed on her thigh, stood up, pulled Suzu along, and left together with Rurikawa Tsubaki.
Who was Hachiman pretending for? She did not believe that after she and Suzu transformed into magical girls, Hachiman would not make a move on them.
"Oh right, Hachiman, you'd better take your exams seriously today too. Don't skip them and get caught by Teacher Kirisu Mafuyu," Just as she was about to leave, Kaede suddenly remembered something, hurriedly stopped, turned her head, and shouted at Hachiman.
"And also, Teacher Kashima Risako seems to have noticed something off about Teacher Hanamori Kotomi. She's been finding all sorts of excuses these past couple of days to ask me about you. You should deal with it yourself."
Although she knew that even without counting those powerful families and financial groups, and even setting aside Iris, Tsubaki, and the others who especially indulged and spoiled Hachiman, there were still plenty of beautiful girls around Hachiman willing to support him.
But Teacher Kirisu Mafuyu was also doing it for Hachiman's own good by keeping such a close eye on him. Since Hachiman was still attending school, he should stop constantly going against Teacher Kirisu Mafuyu.
"Yeah, I have a bet with Teacher Kirisu Mafuyu anyway. This time I have to take first place to shut her up. How could I skip the exam."
Hachiman replied with a smile. Besides Teacher Kirisu Mafuyu, there was also Teacher Seto Nanami beside her. As long as he took first place in both of the subjects they taught, they would both have to wear maid outfits.
"Still, Teacher Kashima Risako coming to ask about me…"
He remembered Kashima Risako. In the quest Educational Dominator I, Kashima Risako, like the saintly Hanamori Kotomi, had been running around for that delinquent student's case, trying to get justice for them.
But back then he had only briefly met Kashima Risako. After he and Hanamori Kotomi resolved the delinquent student's issue, he had not revealed anything to Kashima Risako, and Hanamori Kotomi should not have told her anything either.
"Mio, Maria, the school is in the middle of exams recently. In a couple of days I'll have Kaede and Tsubaki handle your enrollment procedures. For now, stay at home."
Hachiman did not dwell on Kashima Risako, that blue-haired, clueless giant of a teacher, but instead gently patted Naruse Maria's small head and looked toward Naruse Mio, who was sitting beside Shion.
"Huh? Enrollment procedures? Hachiman Onii-chan, are you talking to me?"
Naruse Mio had been quietly eating while secretly glancing under the table at Naruse Maria's pair of silver twin-tails, feeling torn while everyone else seemed completely used to the scene. Hearing Hachiman call out to her, she froze for a moment, then looked up at him in confusion.
"Yeah, it's just a formality. You don't need to worry about your enrollment."
Hachiman smiled. Because of the balance between various factions, it was troublesome for others to join Sobu High.
But arranging for Naruse Mio and Naruse Maria to enroll was simple. He could just use Kaede's and Tsubaki's connections.
It was not even really using the back door. Kaede and Tsubaki were his people to begin with.
"Onii-chan, I-I have to go to school too?"
Naruse Maria licked her glossy, moist cherry lips and looked up at Hachiman, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She was a nightmare, after all. Was Onii-chan not afraid she would cause a disturbance by going to a human school?
"Of course. We all go to school normally. We can't just have the two of you stay at home all the time," Hachiman nodded slightly and explained.
"It wouldn't be suitable to have you study together with Shion and Komachi. Anyway, Sobu High has demi-humans now. Even if your identities are exposed, it won't be a big deal."
He knew Naruse Maria was a nightmare, and that she was not as well-behaved and obedient in front of outsiders as she was with him. But Sobu High already had plenty of demi-humans, even succubi, so there was no need to worry about having one more nightmare.
"Hehe, actually, it's fine if Lady Mio goes to school. I can stay home and watch the house."
Seeing that Hachiman was not just being polite and truly did not mind her going to school too, Naruse Maria rolled her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and said with a grin.
"Of course, if you want to start school right away, that's fine too. But on one hand, the school is in the middle of exams. On the other, Maria, you probably don't know much about subjects in human society. For these two days, let Mio tutor you at home first, so you won't be completely lost when you go to school."
Hachiman stroked the clever, sweet, obedient Naruse Maria's small head, not actually letting her stay home alone.
Naruse Mio had previously been raised in human society as a human, but Naruse Maria was different. She had come over from the demon realm.
"It's fine. I don't need to work part-time to earn money. It doesn't matter if I don't understand class and get zeroes on exams. Onii-chan will support us anyway, right~"
Naruse Maria cozied up again and even gave Hachiman a kiss. She was a nightmare. How could she possibly go work part-time?
In the demon realm, she relied on her mother. In the human world, she relied on Onii-chan. She did not have to worry about money at all.
"Maria, shut up. Hachiman-nii, we'll listen to you. We'll stay at home for these two days. I'll tutor Maria and review a bit myself too."
Seeing Naruse Maria, this nightmare, still licking her lips shamelessly and fawning over Hachiman without any bottom line, Naruse Mio could not stand it anymore and immediately scolded her.
She used to think Maria had backbone. Even though she was a nightmare, she always kept herself clean and did not mess around like some succubi.
She could even fight back fearlessly against powerful enemies who were hunting them down, often leading her through dangerous situations to escape alive.
But now, the moment she saw Hachiman, her legs went soft.
Even if Hachiman was the Hachiman-nii who took them in, there was no need to be this humble and ingratiating!
"Mm…"
Naruse Maria stopped talking, obediently closed her small mouth, and fell silent.
What was wrong with grabbing onto a strong thigh? This was a thigh even stronger than the Demon King's.
'Onii-chan could awaken so many magical girls who protect the human world in a single night.'
In her impression, magical girls in the human world were all very strong and full of potential. Some looked weak, but once pushed into desperate situations, they could erupt with several times or even dozens of times their usual power.
This kind of power driven by belief was very strong. However, even if some human geniuses found shortcuts to using it, there were huge side effects. Forcing it often led to life being overdrawn, bodies collapsing, and death. It was nothing like Onii-chan's way of developing and training it without any side effects.
And last night, she had secretly gone to take a look at the magical girl development meeting in the large bath.
At that time, she had been stunned by the powerful radiance emanating from the goddess angel Suzune Rione. Even the holy light on Gabriel, Vignette, and the others, who were only pulled aside to watch, was so blinding that it nearly blinded her. She had to hide back in her room and rest for a long time before recovering.
She truly could not imagine just how strong Onii-chan was, being served by so many powerful existences.
Today, just by sensing and absorbing a bit of the life energy aura radiating from Onii-chan, she could already feel her own strength increasing.
When Hachiman and the Naruse sisters finished breakfast together and changed into their uniforms, preparing to teleport to school, they suddenly noticed another figure sneaking in.
"Maki? You haven't gone to school yet? I remember your school starts earlier, right?"
Hachiman looked at Sanjou Maki, who glanced left and right as she came in, then jogged over to him and hugged his arm, and asked curiously. [T/N: Kamijou Maki →Sanjou Maki from "Maki-chan to Nau"]
The main participants in last night's magical girl development meeting were the human girls who stayed late at the Serving Club. Sanjou Maki was naturally among them.
Unlike the others who attended Sobu High, Sanjou Maki studied alone at Excellent Girls' Academy and usually rented her own place.
As long as there was a chance to join in the fun, she would wait no matter how late it got, let alone now that she could live at the Serving Club.
For Sanjou Maki, who loved excitement and the sense of taboo, the Serving Club was an amazing environment.
"Hehe, being late for a bit is no big deal. Master, I want to ask you for something. I have a younger sister named Sanjou Yuki. Could you let her join the club too and serve you with me?"
Sanjou Maki tightly hugged Hachiman's arm against her chest, ignoring the gazes of the demi-humans, demons, and goddess angels around them, and softly voiced her request.
"At Excellent Girls' Academy where I study, there are actually a lot of beautiful young ladies from wealthy families. Would Master be willing to let them join the Serving Club too?"
Everyone else was at Sobu High. She alone was far away at Excellent Girls' Academy, truly isolated.
Now that factions within the Serving Club were multiplying, she also wanted to gather allies and form a small group.
Compared to Sobu High, which had already split into many small cliques, Excellent Girls' Academy, full of young ladies from all over the world, was basically an undeveloped land.
Sobu High had a girls' competitive swimming club. They also had a swimming club, and even a super-strong athlete, who was an Olympic candidate.
Sobu High had a student council full of beautiful girls. Their student council was also full of beauties. The student council president, Tachibana Kanako, and her younger sister Tachibana Hina were even the principal's daughters, just not twins.
Besides that, the girls' academy had many more beautiful and talented girls.
However, before forming cliques and helping her master develop Excellent Girls' Academy, she had to bring her own sister in first.
"Sanjou Yuki? Sure, of course. I'll give her permission right now. Maki, just bring her over when you have time."
Hachiman smiled and nodded at Sanjou Maki's words, directly adding Sanjou Yuki's name to the Serving Club member list.
"As for the girls at your school. I'll go take a look later. No rush."
If Maki had not mentioned her sister, he would almost have forgotten that Maki had a younger sister who was just as pretty and cute, and just as perverted.
Although it did not seem to be the taboo or exhibitionist type, she still seemed quite twisted. They really were true sisters.
And those young ladies at Excellent Girls' Academy.
Since Maki kept mentioning this school, he remembered it now. This school had a time-stop storyline. He just did not know when he would be able to encounter it and complete the character quest to obtain a time-based ability reward.
After all, abilities like time stop could no longer be used as easily as in the original work in this chaotic world. He was not even sure whether the original male protagonist would be able to obtain that ability.
After handling Sanjou Maki's request to offer up her sister, Hachiman teleported to school together with Iris and the others.
Only the Naruse sisters, Mio and Maria, were left at the Hikigaya house.
"Lady Mio, do you think Onii-chan really sees us as family?"
The silver twin-tailed nightmare loli Naruse Maria licked her lips in satisfaction, softly exhaled, looked around the now empty and quiet living room, and finally fixed her gaze on Naruse Mio, who also had twin ponytails draped over her shoulders but a much fuller and sexier figure than hers.
"It doesn't seem fake…"
Naruse Mio sat on the sofa Hachiman had just left, gently touching the armrest that still retained some warmth, murmuring softly as she shook her head.
Although she was also conflicted about whether Hachiman truly saw her and Maria as sisters, no matter how she thought about it, she could not come up with a reason for him to deliberately put on an act to deceive them.
She only inherited the Demon King's power, yet Hachiman and the girls around him were all so strong. The demonic beast hunting them down had been killed in an instant. From the bits and pieces of their conversations, she could sense the influence those girls wielded. It did not seem like they were coveting the Demon King's power within her.
If Hachiman truly had designs on them, there would have been no need to go around in circles.
"Maria, let's study."
Naruse Mio shook her head, gathered her scattered thoughts, reached out to open a few books Hachiman had left on the coffee table, and said to Naruse Maria standing nearby.
She could not figure those things out. Anyway, they were already living in this house. If Hachiman wanted to do something to her, with her half-baked strength, she could not resist at all. She might as well stay calm and settled.
"Lady Mio, are you really going to teach me to study?"
Seeing Naruse Mio seriously pick up a textbook to teach her, Naruse Maria's expression changed, and she said in disbelief.
'Onii-chan was just saying it casually. You're really forcing me to study?'
"Didn't we just agree to study? You don't want to go to school together anymore? Or do you want to stay home alone, Maria?"
Naruse Mio looked at the overreacting Naruse Maria helplessly.
After suddenly ending their days on the run and moving into a safe, stable home, she felt she needed to calm herself through something familiar like reading and studying, instead of overthinking everything.
"Of course I don't want to stay home alone. But…"
Naruse Maria shook her head, staring straight at Naruse Mio.
"Compared to studying, we should research how to make Onii-chan like us."
"Make Hachiman-nii like us?"
Hearing Naruse Maria suddenly say something so unexpected with her life-filled little mouth, Naruse Mio froze and looked at her in confusion.
"There are so many people in the Serving Club trying to please Onii-chan. Lady Mio, don't you understand Onii-chan's position in this household?"
"Of course I know. They make it so obvious, every single one of them wanting to cling to Hachiman-nii all the time. But haven't we already become Hachiman-nii's sisters?"
"Lady Mio, do you think being Onii-chan's sister is enough? Onii-chan said that whatever the other sisters have, we have too, and that he'll treat us all equally."
Seeing that Naruse Mio still had not figured it out, Naruse Maria explained with a bit of frustration.
"But if you think about it the other way, doesn't that mean we're just like the other sisters in the house? That there's nothing special about us for Onii-chan to value?"
"Last night, Onii-chan was being intimate over there, and we could only pretend we didn't know anything and chat with Komachi!"
The identity of a sister seemed very advantageous in this household. They were even demons, different from the others. Whether joining the demi-humans, humans, or being adoptive sisters, they all worked.
But if they did not find their position properly and grasp the key point, being unable to fit into any side, their status in this household would gradually decline. People would not always care about them like they did yesterday.
And the center of this household was Onii-chan. As long as they gained Onii-chan's favor, their status would be the highest.
Treating all sisters equally? What they wanted was favoritism.
"Lady Mio, you're the future Demon King. Your potential is greater than Shion, Komachi, and the others. You can even help Onii-chan rule the demon realm, like the elf princess, gathering all the beautiful women of the demon realm to offer to Onii-chan for his pleasure."
Naruse Maria leaned close to Naruse Mio, her pale, glossy little mouth pressed near Mio's earlobe as she whispered seductively.
