Now that Hachiman's awakened magic essence was so powerful, as long as Momo and Nana accepted his awakened magic essence, they could become pure-blooded Charm. Still, it depended on whether Momo and Nana actually liked Hachiman.
Even though she liked Hachiman very much, she couldn't guarantee Momo and Nana would like him the same way she did.
She wondered where the runaway Momo and Nana had gotten to now, and how far they were from Earth.
"How nice. Her Highness Iris already has the president's child."
Lying on the coffee table, Elio, Elusi, and Ayla couldn't help turning their heads to look at Hachiman and Iris, their eyes full of envy.
Like Lala, they had no plans to have children.
On one hand, the merfolk's way of reproduction was different from humans and even many demi-human races. After a female mermaid laid eggs, the male mermaids would take charge of them. Once the male mermaids nurtured the little mermaids, the female mermaids would take them back to raise.
Many mermaid mothers who raised daughters had never even been married, and some might not have even been in love.
If Elio hadn't sought out the president to end her transformation period, she probably would have become one of the many outstanding male mermaids in the tribe.
On the other hand, it was because they were world-class, super popular idols who were always in the spotlight.
Sneaking around and being this intimate with the president was already risky. Only by using the excuse of their transformation period could they continue being this close to him.
If they were to get pregnant as well, that absolutely wouldn't be acceptable.
Including Elio, Ayla and Elusi also didn't want to take on such a heavy responsibility.
After all, aside from their identity as diva idols, they were just ordinary mermaids. Their families didn't have thrones to inherit like Iris and Lala. The shrine maiden Mafune Sakura commanded the strongest warrior clan of the oni, and Ursula was also the dragon clan leader.
Among the demi-humans who most frequently received Hachiman's assistance, only these mermaid diva idols didn't need children.
But that didn't stop them from envying Iris at all.
After all, Iris already had a high status, and now she could gain even more favor thanks to the president's child.
"President, now that so many people have come to Sobu High, it's about time to have Ursula return."
Iris clearly felt the envious gazes from Elio and the others. Even Lumilia and Leticia, who were waiting at the side to take turns with her and Aegis, were looking at her. She smiled slightly.
"Ursula has already contacted quite a few demi-humans. It's time to completely crush Ursula and make her obedient to you, President. At the same time, we can have her contribute some effort in what comes next."
"Gabriel and Vignette have quite a few complaints about Raphiel constantly avoiding them. They want the president to properly teach and punish Raphiel. We can use this opportunity to bring Raphiel to our side first."
"At that time, maybe Raphiel, after being punished by you, President, can even help you thoroughly win over Gabriel and Vignette."
Kaede's side was already thinking of asking her childhood friend from the countryside for help. She naturally couldn't just watch and let the human magical girl faction grow stronger.
Besides the demi-humans already in school, there were many more outside.
Now that the president had awakened magic essence, it was time to give Ursula, who had been outside helping him find beautiful girls, a little taste of sweetness. At the same time, they could spread the news to the demi-human alliance, letting those families that were still observing submit to the president.
Previously, Aoe Kuon refused to join the demi-human assistance plan and said she would go back to find her mother, Aoe Mai. Now that they knew the president had awakened magic essence, they might instead have to beg to join the plan.
"No problem. Ursula does need a proper lesson. We can also see what helpers she found."
Hachiman smiled and nodded. He had missed that dragon brat who could be fierce or playful.
If Kaede was the most stubborn one by his side, then Ursula was the Kaede among the demi-humans, having looked for helpers outside for so long yet not daring to come face him.
"Of course. If Ursula knows to look for local demi-humans for help, and Meroune knows to find idols at the company to serve the president, I naturally won't rely only on them."
Seeing Hachiman agree without hesitation, Iris smiled and turned to Leticia, who was standing beside Lumilia and looking at her.
"Leticia, I received news this morning that your mother will be coming over with the team to check on your situation here."
"Ah? M-My mother is coming too?"
Leticia had still been thinking about when she would become pregnant with the Savior's child. Hearing Iris' words, she froze and stared blankly at her.
"Yes. Leticia, your mother, Madam Rumaria."
As if she hadn't noticed the shock on Leticia's face, Iris continued with a smile.
"It just so happens that I'm pregnant now, and Aegis, Lumilia, and you, Leticia, may also become pregnant in the future."
"We can ask Madam Rumaria for advice on raising children, and at the same time teach the newly arrived elves our experience."
Even though it had taken them over a month just to begin pregnancy, and nurturing a child would take time as well, there was no need to rush about children yet.
But even though elf pregnancies weren't very long, only the growth period was longer, they still needed to prepare in advance.
With so many demi-human forces and even human forces unknowingly getting involved, she couldn't let others take advantage of her and Aegis being pregnant to snatch away the elves' Savior.
Even if the president was the elves' Savior, other demi-human races wouldn't acknowledge that.
Before he awakened magic essence, and since he didn't run around much, mostly living between school and home, they just needed to serve him well and satisfy him.
But now awakened magic essence affected all female demi-humans, and there was also the powerful ability to awaken magical girl talent and equally raise strength. They had no way to continue hiding it.
Other demi-human races, and even human empires, might send people to "protect" the Savior together with them.
After all, traveling to this world wasn't an ability exclusive to the elves. Although it wasn't easy, other forces in their world must have secretly sent people to learn about this world.
It was just that this world was more suitable for elves who could control mana, so they were more active.
"Asking for advice on raising children…"
Looking at Iris' reasonable explanation, Leticia still felt complicated.
She wasn't afraid of meeting her mother. Their relationship was quite good.
But when the tribe selected elves to come to this world to assist, after layers of screening, only a few of them had been chosen.
The entire elf tribe obviously had more than just them who were suited to request assistance from the Savior.
There were many elf princesses and high elves. Why had even her mother been sent over now?
Even if the elves had an advantage in this magic-scarce world thanks to controlling mana, it wasn't like they could cross worlds whenever they wanted. She didn't believe her mother was simply taking the opportunity to come see her like Princess Iris said.
Her relationship with her mother was good, but in the past, when she lived alone deep in the forest doing research, she and her mother often didn't see each other for long periods. Her mother wouldn't cross worlds just to visit her.
"Hehe! Leticia, you don't need to worry. I'm just preparing in advance. If there's anything, you can talk to Madam Rumaria then. For now, just enjoy the president's assistance and try to get pregnant soon~"
Iris smiled at Leticia, her smile carrying deeper meaning.
Sometimes, some measures didn't have to be used, but they had to be prepared.
Whatever other humans or demi-humans could do, the elves had to be able to do as well. Otherwise, how could they let the president安心 serve as the elves' Savior?
Compared to other races, as long as the Elf Spring hadn't dried up and the Elf Mother Tree hadn't withered, the elves, who mostly relied on the Mother Tree to birth elves, had greater advantages.
She remembered Leticia's records. Leticia had once been conceived by Madam Rumaria's prayer at the Elf Mother Tree.
Only, after hundreds of years, the Mother Tree could no longer give birth to high elves, and even ordinary elves were difficult to produce. That was why they needed to find the elves' Savior and seek the president's assistance.
"…"
Seeing the meaningful smile on Iris' face, Leticia felt helpless inside.
It seemed, her guess was right.
Though she had already received the Savior's assistance together with her good friend Leona…
"Leticia, don't worry so much. Let's quickly receive the Savior's assistance. Maybe we can conceive super talented high elves together with Her Highness the princesses~"
Among the many golden-haired, fair-skinned elves, the especially eye-catching Leona smiled and pulled the still-hesitant Leticia, bringing her along with Melaise and Sylpha to lie on the coffee table, taking turns with Elio, Elusi, and Ayla.
What was the point of worrying? These matters were for Her Highness to consider. They only needed to continue receiving the Savior's assistance and peacefully enjoy the blessings he granted them~
If Leticia weren't her especially good friend, she would even want to ask Her Highness Iris to bring all her other good friends over so they could all serve the Savior together~
["Ding~"]
["Character mission completed — Assist the Elf Princess."]
["Mission reward — Moon Spring."]
Hearing the conversation between Iris and Leticia, Hachiman stood up, laid Iris flat on the soft white coffee table, lowered his head and bit her as her face flushed and her eyes turned soft, no longer speaking, then increased his efforts to assist Leticia, Leona and the other elves who had come later.
Lala, Aegis and Lumilia also stood up at the same time, wrapping their arms around him from behind and from the side.
While tasting below, Hachiman heard the system notification and felt extremely refreshed. He wrapped an arm around Aegis' waist and lifted her up, letting her sit on the table with Leticia and the others, experiencing his joy in a different posture from Iris.
Originally, discovering Iris' pregnancy had already made him happy. After all, he had assisted her so many times, almost not a single day without it. She had been immersed in him twenty-four hours a day.
But he had thought the mission to assist the elf princess would only be completed after the child was born. He hadn't expected that just confirming pregnancy would complete it and grant the reward.
[Moon Spring: A movable spring that automatically produces special spring water at night. Within a certain range, it increases elves' life and mental recovery speed. Elves within its coverage who are injured will recover from wounds faster.]
(PS: The more elves who serve you, the larger the Moon Spring's coverage and the faster its water production.)
Moon Spring, this reward was different from the aura-type skills he had obtained before. Although similarly, the more who served him, the better the effect.
But this Moon Spring was specialized for elves, a racial divine artifact that only worked on elves.
Hachiman looked at Leticia, Leona, Melaise and Sylpha in front of him, exhaled lightly, and doubled his assistance to them in turn.
Actually, there was also a mission on the four elves who had come later.
A mission called Savior of the Elf Tribe, and the reward had been stated in advance as the Spring of Life.
The Spring of Life sounded even more powerful than the Moon Spring. He wondered what special effects it had.
The Moon Spring already comprehensively enhanced life and mental recovery and sped up wound healing. As for the Spring of Life… could it be, as the name suggested, related to nurturing life.
If it really was as he guessed, then he would truly be the unquestionable Savior of the elf tribe.
Hachiman pondered for a moment, then enjoyed the pleasure of assisting without thinking further, nor did he tell Iris and the others about the Moon Spring.
Bringing out the Moon Spring right after learning of Iris' pregnancy would make it seem like he had been hiding something. Better to wait. When Leticia and the others were also pregnant, taking out both the Spring of Life and the Moon Spring together would probably have more impact.
Of course, mainly because he didn't have anywhere to use something like this Moon Spring right now, which felt more like a clan-level divine artifact.
There were quite a few elves around him, but compared to the entire elf tribe, it was very few.
The Moon Spring was more suitable to be placed in the Elf Forest or the Elf Capital, where the more elves there were, the better.
But he hadn't even been to the other world. Throwing the Moon Spring there would be inappropriate.
Especially since its recovery range and water production were tied to elves serving him. Giving it to Iris to place in the Elf Capital would be useless.
After all, he was here, and the elves serving him were here too.
Later, he could have Shion or Haruno set up a hot spring when they had time, place the Moon Spring inside, and let everyone enjoy it together, and see whether the special water truly only worked on elves.
As for the limitation that the more elves who served him, the better the Moon Spring's effect, at worst Iris could contact more elves to come over.
Only after serving him could they enjoy the hot spring effects of the Moon Spring and the Spring of Life.
Simply put, a servant hot spring?
Thinking that he might build a servant hot spring and have elves eagerly come to serve him, Hachiman suddenly felt a strange sensation.
"S-Savior…"
Elio, Elusi and Ayla, the mermaid diva idols who had gradually recovered, climbed up from the floor and raised their heads eagerly, watching Sylpha, Melaise, Leticia, Leona and the other elves wearing empathy bracelets, shared-sense wristbands and collars as they served Hachiman together.
Iris, Lala, Lumilia and Aegis slowly sat on Sylpha and the others' backs, embracing the person tightly held by Hachiman and sharing in that feeling.
They had already liked him before. Now, under the influence of awakened magic essence, they enjoyed every second with him even more.
Usually, the distance between them and him differed. Idol, guard, princess. No matter how much they claimed not to care, they were bound by their identities.
When serving him, there was no hierarchy of status, no high or low rank, only shared pleasure.
The mermaid diva idol kneeling on the floor to serve him was herself;
The four elf big sisters lying on the coffee table kissing him were herself;
The princesses sitting on the table's back, hugging him, were also herself.

"Sorry to trouble you, Hiratsuka-sensei. So many of us enrolled early without informing in advance."
"No problem. It's my job anyway. I don't have to proctor exams now, so I'm quite free."
"Thank you, Hiratsuka-sensei. You should go rest too. We'll tidy up our luggage first. By the way, are you free at noon? We'd like to treat you to a meal to thank you."
"No need, no need. I usually eat in the cafeteria."
After greeting the transfer students and coming out of the repaired school building, Hiratsuka Shizuka wiped the sweat from her forehead, slowly let out a breath, and walked straight back to her guidance room.
Originally, these transfer students who enrolled early were supposed to be received and arranged by the student council president. But since Kaede and the others had to take exams, Hiratsuka Shizuka, the young female teacher, had stepped in instead.
