Chapter 422 - Chapter 422: Maria’s Master-Servant Contract, the Price of “Bullying” Little Hikigaya

"Of course, that's a goal for the future. Our strength is still quite weak now. How about we make a master-servant contract with Onii-chan—"

"No way! Hachiman-oniichan has been so good to us, and Komachi and the others are also very polite and caring towards us. How could we possibly make Hachiman-oniichan my servant?"

Naruse Mio had been listening to Naruse Maria's unreliable suggestion with a flushed face, but upon hearing about making a master-servant contract with Hachiman, she immediately spoke up to interrupt, vetoing Maria's idea.

"This kind of thinking from you, Maria, must be forbidden! You can't bring up this idea again, and you absolutely must not let Hachiman-oniichan and the others know!"

Although she didn't quite understand why Hachiman was willing to accept them, who were being pursued, without asking for any benefits, she could clearly and profoundly feel that the atmosphere in this household was particularly harmonious. It was just that there were many people, making it a bit livelier.

So many girls had treated them very well, not cold-shouldering them just because they were new to the household.

Last night, worried that they might not be accustomed, Komachi had stayed with them chatting until bedtime, not going off to play with Shion and the others.

"I didn't say to make Onii-chan the servant in the master-servant contract. Mio-sama, you would be Onii-chan's servant."

Naruse Maria looked strangely at Naruse Mio, who had sternly refused, and after a moment spoke quietly.

Onii-chan was still bulging even after a whole night of consumption. Every bite she took increased her strength a little. If Onii-chan went all out without holding back, it would absolutely be enough to burst her.

How audacious would she have to be to dare make such a powerful Onii-chan Mio-sama's servant?

"Ah? I'm the servant?"

Hearing Naruse Maria's explanation, Naruse Mio was completely dumbstruck, staring blankly at Maria.

Although she knew that Hachiman-oniichan, who was surrounded by many powerful women, was very strong himself, subconsciously she still felt that Maria, who always called her Mio-sama and protected her, placed herself first.

She never expected Maria to sell her out without hesitation.

"Mio-sama, don't you think master-servant training games are super awesome~"

Ignoring Naruse Mio's fixed glare, Naruse Maria continued excitedly on her own.

"I've observed. There are some girls in this household who call Onii-chan 'master,' but they are all fake servants, not truly in a master-servant relationship with Onii-chan."

"Once Onii-chan becomes Mio-sama's master, then our status will no longer be the same as the others. We'll be unique existences in this household."

"..."

Watching Naruse Maria getting more and more excited, Naruse Mio's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she slowly clenched her fair pinkish-white fists.

It was one thing for Maria herself to lick up to Hachiman-oniichan. She could barely help explain for Maria, saying it was the eruption of Maria's long-repressed nightmar nature, unable to resist pleasing Hachiman-oniichan so much for the moment.

But now... Maria was actually egging on her to become Hachiman-oniichan's servant.

How could she have such a teammate.

"Wait! Mio-sama, don't get agitated! I'm serious!"

Maria, her cheeks flushed with excitement, suddenly saw Naruse Mio stand up with a dark face, clenching her fists and walking towards her. She shivered all over and hurriedly said.

"I'm serious too!"

[Soubu High, Class 1-F]

Miura Yumiko, Kitagawa Marin, and Ijichi Nijika were already seated at their desks. They chatted quietly while intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the empty seat on the right.

As former members of the blonde gyaru group who had "bullied" Hachiman, they naturally also gained permission to teleport in and out of the Service Club.

However, aside from Kitagawa Marin, who had slipped away seeing the situation turn unfavorable, neither Ijichi Nijika nor Miura Yumiko went to the Service Club last night.

Ijichi Nijika had caused some suspicion from her older sister, Ijichi Seika, after staying out overnight last time. She was busy dealing with her sister and also needed to have proper band practice with the recently rejoined Hitori Gotou, Yamada Ryou, and Kita Ikuyo.

Without Hachiman directing them in the middle, their rehearsal progress was very slow, completely lacking the smoothness of their previous stage performance.

Miura Yumiko, seeing the suddenly appearing Service Club teleportation permission, immediately knew this mysterious thing was related to Hachiman. But Hachiman hadn't said anything to her, and she didn't want to go find him either. That would make it seem like she was eeager to see what happened.

However, now the three of them watched as Hachiman, Ichinose Honami, Yuina, and their group hadn't appeared in their seats. They simultaneously thought about how intense last night's battle must have been.

Just how late did Hachiman busy himself last night?

He was already reckless enough at school. At home, he always played until very late too. If he keeps going like this every day, won't Hachiman's back really break? And there are exams today.

"Yuina, Minami, Rin, Honami, good morn—huh?"

Ijichi Nijika was agonizing over the relationship between herself and the others with Hachiman when she suddenly saw Yuina, Rin, Minami, and Ichinose Honami appear at the classroom's back door. Just as she was about to greet them, she felt something was completely different about them.

"Hehe~"

Seeing Ijichi Nijika keenly notice their change, Rin gently brushed her flowing and smooth chestnut-brown hair, tossed her single-strap bag onto her seat, then came over to Ijichi Nijika and the others. Placing her hands on her hips and slightly puffing out her chest, she let them size her up.

She had always paid great attention to maintaining her skin, taking great pride in her complexion being fairer and more dewy than Minami and Yuina's.

But even though she had used many skincare products before, there was still a big gap compared to elf princesses like Iris, Aegis, and Lumilia, whose skin was pure white and crystalline, with no visible flaws, and whose sweat even smelled fragrant.

However, now that she, Minami, and Yuina had successfully become magical girls, they found their bodies had undergone a transformation. Even after reverting from their transformed state, their bodies were noticeably different from before.

Their skin had become fairer and tighter, needless to say as soft and elastic as a baby's with a rosy glow. The sensations from all over their bodies felt incredibly wonderful.

They really never expected that while the usual pleasure was already amazing enough, now not only had they become prettier, but they had even gained the power of magical girls.

Meeting and catching Little Hiki was probably the most, most, most correct thing she had ever done in her life.

"What happened? Did Hikigaya-kun feed you something again?"

Kitagawa Marin looked curiously at Rin, who was proudly sticking out her chest, then at Yuina, Ichinose Honami, and the others behind Rin.

She knew the prowess of Hikigaya-kun and had personally tasted his magical aspects, but hadn't Rin, Yuina, and Minami already had their fill before?

Yuina, Minami, and Rin had done more stuff than she, Yumiko, and Nijika had eaten. They shouldn't have such a big change overnight.

"Actually... we were all awakened to the power of magical girls by Hachiman last night."

Ichinose Honami glanced at Ichinose Ayano and Horigome China entering from the front door of the classroom. As usual, they didn't get involved with the relationships at the back of the class, instead going to find Sugisaki Kasumi, who sat by the window, wearing thick glasses and lowering her head to read and review.

Sighing helplessly, Ichinose Honami turned to look at the utterly confused Ijichi Nijika, Kitagawa Marin, and Miura Yumiko, directly explaining the reason for their significant change.

She knew that factionalism within the Service Club was extremely severe, with everyone frantically pulling people in to expand their influence to compete for Hachiman's favor.

Nijika had already had a party with her bandmates at Hachiman's place, so there was no need to worry about her.

However, Yumiko and Marin had also been intimate with Hachiman, only lacking the final step or two. Even if others didn't pull them in, Yuina and her group would likely drag them in eventually.

Might as well directly tell them the truth about last night and let them decide whether to find an opportunity to become magical girls together.

Well... everyone here is classmates in the same class, and after school, we often run into each other at the Service Club. She felt it would be better if everyone was open and honest with each other.

"Magical girls?"

Kitagawa Marin's small mouth opened slightly in surprise, staring blankly at Ichinose Honami.

She had only learned about the existence of magical girls yesterday, and today Ichinose Honami and the others had already become magical girls? Did it have to happen so quickly...

"So, Honami, all of you have become magical girls?"

Ijichi Nijika was also very shocked and speechless as she looked at Ichinose Honami.

She didn't doubt Ichinose Honami's words, but she was equally stunned. How had Hachiman suddenly gotten involved with magical girls too?

Previously, she, Bocchi-chan, and Ryou had worked so hard, practicing band performance with Hachiman all night to barely learn one spell. And now, in the blink of an eye, Ichinose Honami and the others had all become magical girls?

"All of us here have become magical girls, but developing magical girl talent is quite time-consuming, so there are still quite a few who haven't successfully become magical girls yet."

Minami giggled and winked at Ijichi Nijika, Miura Yumiko, and Kitagawa Marin, hinting.

"But Little Hiki said he'd let everyone become magical girls first before training us, so if you go to the club tonight, you should be able to have Little Hiki awaken your magical girl powers together."

Aside from Kaede, the student council members, and us, along with Ichinose Ayano and Ichinose Honami, there were also Hayase Saki, Narahashi Miki, and a few others who had successfully developed and awakened their magical girl powers.

But because time was too tight, the others didn't have time to develop their magical girl talents before daybreak, so everyone could only first receive last-minute exam tutoring.

"Little Hiki really worked hard last night~"

She wasn't truly worried about Little Hiki; Little Hiki had long proven his strength and didn't need their concern.

However, normally when people couldn't hold on anymore, they would immediately switch out. But last night's magical girl talent development was different; the longer you endured, the better the effect. So she clearly knew that Little Hiki had held back somewhat last night and wasn't completely satisfied.

During today's exam, elf princesses Iris, Princess Lala, Elio, and others who didn't participate in last night's magical girl developmen grand gathering would probably come to invigilate the exam.

"..."

Kitagawa Marin looked at Yuina and the others, then at Ijichi Nijika and Miura Yumiko beside her, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

She didn't know whether she should regret or feel fortunate.

If she hadn't left last night, she probably would have awakened her magical girl powers like Yuina and the others.

But if she had sneaked off like Nijika, wouldn't that mean they had all wronged Yumiko, leaving only Yumiko alone?

How about... dragging Yumiko along today? Nijika has experience, so she can guide.them from the side.

After the exams this weekend, she was planning to go to the comic convention with Lumilia and the others, and see other people cosplaying.

Awakening magical girl power... if she really could transform into a magical girl, then she would have many more cosplays to do in the future.

Even if some cosplays are relatively revealing and not suitable for comic conventions, she could follow the suggestion from Ms. Shino and invite other cosplayers to Rurikawa's house to cosplay together.

"What are you looking at me for? If you want to go, go by yourself!"

Sensing her good friend Kitagawa Marin's 'good intentions' of wanting to drag her into the water, Miura Yumiko glared with both embarrassment and annoyance at Marin.

What in the world was going on? How had their relationship with Hikigaya become like this?

Nijika had already confessed to her before, saying she accidentally ended up in Hikigaya's bed with the Kessoku Band members. Now Marin wanted to drag her along to have Hikigaya develop and awaken their magical girl powers.

Was this the price for "bullying" Hikigaya? Now her good sisters were betraying her one after another.

"Nijika, good morning~"

Just as Miura Yumiko was questioning her life, she suddenly saw Hachiman's figure appear at Ijichi Nijika's seat.

"Hachiman?"

Ijichi Nijika felt her body go light and realized Hachiman was holding her. She was momentarily stunned. Just as she was about to say something, she felt Miura Yumiko's fixed stare from the side and hurriedly struggled to get off Hachiman's lap.

"What's wrong? Nijika, you didn't come to the club last night, and now that we meet, you won't even greet me?"

Looking at the flustered Ijichi Nijika, Hachiman kissed her flushed pink cheek and leisurely smiled.

Although Nijika, unlike most of the girls around him who had figures better than the last, had a somewhat petite and delicate build, just seeing Nijika's blushing shy expression made him want Bocchi... and Ryou to come together for a band party.

"Let's talk about that later! Yumiko is still watching!"

Ijichi Nijika's cheeks were burning hot. She lowered her head, not daring to meet Miura Yumiko's eyes, and pushed at Hachiman's chest with her little hands in a hurried manner.

She had already cheated and felt bad towards Yumiko. How could she be intimate with Hachiman right in front of Yumiko.

Before, Hachiman would always be very mindful of boundaries and wouldn't do anything to her in front of everyone. Why had he suddenly teleported to her seat.

Teleporting beside her and holding her for intimacy wasn't too big of a problem in itself. Her relationship with Hachiman was already like that; if she wasn't intimate with Hachiman, who would she be intimate with?

But if he was going to hold someone, he should hold Yumiko first, then her. Otherwise, wouldn't Yumiko feel very embarassed? After all, Yumiko was the one who cared most about face.

"Don't worry, Yumiko doesn't mind."

Hachiman glanced at the expressionless Miura Yumiko beside them. He didn't kiss Ijichi Nijika again but still kept his arm around her slender and soft waist, not letting her get off his lap.

Actually, back at the STARRY live house run by Nijika's sister, Yumiko, along with Marin, had already witnessed much more intimate scenes inside the recording studio.

The level of intimacy between him and Nijika now was completely nowhere near the scale of what Yumiko experienced back then.

"Who says I don't mind? But Nijika, don't worry. I won't blame you for anything. It's all my fault for not protecting you and Marin well, letting this guy Hikigaya trick and defile you and Marin."

Seeing that Hachiman seemed about to spill the beans about what happened with her and Marin in the recording studio in front of everyone, Miura Yumiko put on a stern face and glared at Hachiman. Then, she.gently comforted Ijichi Nijika, who was firmly held in Hachiman's embrace.

Even though she now felt a sense of being betrayed and isolated by all, she always remembered that Marin, Nijika, and Hikigaya weren't very close initially.

If she hadn't asked Marin and Nijika to help her "bully" and satisfy Hikigaya's special preferences, making Marin and Nijika, "trample on" Hikigaya's "dignity" in the classroom with her.

Marin and Nijika probably wouldn't have had so many interactions with Hikigaya.

Now that Marin and Nijika had ended up like this, she bore responsibility.

"Uh... defile... Yumiko, that's putting it a bit.seriously..."

Hearing Miura Yumiko not only not getting angry with her but instead comforting her, Ijichi Nijika was taken aback and couldn't help feeling somewhat awkward.
