After all, the Service Club only has Master Onii-chan's masculine presence; everyone else is a pretty, lovely, pure girl.
However, she didn't expect that in the brief moment she wasn't paying attention, Komachi, the real star of tonight who had been sitting on the other side of the sofa, had suddenly vanished.
Komachi couldn't have run off, could she?
The long-haired, black-haired snow woman Yukari, who hadn't originally wanted to join the game, had ended up playing because of Komachi.
If Komachi were to chicken out at a time like this, it would be a disservice to Yukari's sacrifice.
Although these snow women came here to get pregnant with Master Onii-chan's child, right now it was clear that Yukari had made a sacrifice for Komachi's sake.
"Maybe she's a little nervous. I'll go back home and look for Komachi. Maria, you search around the club too. Komachi shouldn't have run too far."
Asougi Shion thought about how many people were here tonight, and that Komachi might indeed be a bit shy, so she slowly stood up. Just as she was about to split up and search with Naruse Maria, she suddenly noticed a figure in a sailor uniform with short purple hair and an M-shaped bangs, skulking and hesitating behind the living room sofa, seemingly looking for something.
"Utena, what are you doing here? Have you seen Komachi?"
"That evil magical girl who knelt before Master Onii-chan the other day? That female executive of the evil organization?"
Naruse Mio and Naruse Maria followed Asougi Shion's gaze and also spotted the short purple-haired sailor uniform figure. It was Hiiragi Utena, the female executive of the evil organization who, when Suzune Rione had tried to eliminate evil forces on the spot, had immediately groveled at Hachiman's feet and only escaped disaster under his protection.
Although Hiiragi Utena now looked very timid and introverted, dressed very modestly, not only wearing a plain knee-length sailor uniform but also having her legs wrapped in black opaque tights, her transformed outfit was super daring, practically no different from covering herself with heart-shaped stickers.
"Shion? Uh... I came here... to ask Hikigaya Onii-chan about something..."
Hiiragi Utena stiffened when her name was suddenly called. Seeing it was Asougi Shion rather than Hanabishi Haruka and the others who had been pestering her lately, she relaxed, quickly walked over, and explained quietly to Asougi Shion, Naruse Mio, and Naruse Maria, who were looking at her.
"When I came over just now, I saw Komachi, but Komachi was pulled away by Sakura..."
"Pulled away by Sakura?"
Hearing Hiiragi Utena's explanation, this time Shion was a little surprised. She instinctively looked over at the long-haired, big-sister type Tohsaka Touka, who was in the small group of the Ichinose family alliance.
There was only one Sakura here: Tohsaka Touka's younger sister, their classmate, Tohsaka Sakura.
Sakura usually acted pretty introverted and gloomy; even when they spoke to her first, she rarely responded.
She hadn't expected Sakura to be so proactive tonight, actually approaching Komachi herself... Was she trying to get a piece of the pie too?
Although she knew Sakura was like this because she had grown up lacking a father's love, and Sakura had specially called Hachiman Onii-chan "Father," which made her itch to learn from Sakura and call Hachiman Onii-chan that too.
But it was already very late. Sakura should have been asleep instead of teleporting into the Service Club at this hour.
Was this Touka's idea? Or was it purely Sakura's own idea?
"Shion, what are all of you gathered here doing? Why is Hikigaya Onii-chan on that big screen... that..."
Hiiragi Utena didn't know what Tohsaka Sakura and Komachi were up to, but the embarrassing images on the big screen in this large living room were impossible to ignore.
The magical girls like Hanabishi Haruka didn't have an in-depth understanding of the Service Club's situation. They only knew that the Service Club's president was Komachi's older brother, a very kind and considerate big brother, at most that the relationship was relatively close.
But Hiiragi Utena was different. When she transformed into the evil organization's female executive, Hachiman had recognized her real identity. If Hachiman hadn't been cooperating with Suzune Rione to collect desire energy to rescue his companions at the time, she probably would have been exposed and eliminated by the vengeful Suzune Rione as a demon.
She already felt too embarrassed to face Hikigaya Onii-chan. He was Komachi and Shion's older brother, and she had done that with their brother...
But recently she had run into a little trouble. Unable to make up her mind, her first thought was to ask Hikigaya Onii-chan what to do.
But as soon as she teleported into the Service Club, she was dumbfounded.
After her mother fell asleep, she had wanted to take advantage of the quiet night, teleport to the Service Club, and look for Komachi's older brother. Instead, she found the Service Club brightly lit and more lively than ever.
The Service Club at night was completely different from the Service Club in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, there were many older sisters here drinking tea and chatting, people in the bath, and plenty of maids waiting on them. Even if someone brought a new person or a new magical girl, they could enjoy these club benefits for free.
The Service Club looked like a harmonious, friendly, united, and wonderful free support club.
'But the Service Club at night...'
Hiiragi Utena couldn't help glancing back at the big screen, watching Hachiman being squeezed in the middle by pairs of beautiful girls from front, back, left, and right, all clinging to him in various ways.
A video of Hikigaya Onii-chan? Or was it a live stream of Hikigaya Onii-chan that only appeared late at night?
She had heard of those legendary online live streams that only appeared late at night, but she never imagined Hikigaya Onii-chan would be one of them.
No wonder this Service Club only had Hachiman Onii-chan as a boy. The truth was, all the girls in the entire club were bullying Hikigaya Onii-chan all by themselves.
Although she hadn't fully grasped the truth, Hiiragi Utena instinctively felt that Hachiman was the victim.
After all, something this private was being live-streamed, and so many girls were squeezing Hachiman Onii-chan dry together. On top of that, there were so many female spectators here watching Hachiman Onii-chan.
If Hikigaya Onii-chan wasn't the victim, then who was?
Maybe she should tell the magical girls like Hanabishi Haruka about what was happening here tonight.
They thought this was a friendly mutual-aid magical girl club and kept bringing magical girls they knew to the Service Club.
As magical girls who protected love and peace and maintained the order of human society, Hanabishi Haruka and the others would never tolerate so many people ganging up to bully Hikigaya Onii-chan.
"Ahem! This... it's just a little game. Utena, don't misunderstand. We're not doing anything strange. If you want to play, you can also..."
Asougi Shion saw the subtle expression on Hiiragi Utena's face and immediately tried to explain to avoid misunderstanding, but the words caught in her throat and she suddenly paused.
She didn't know whether to let Hiiragi Utena stay.
Originally, the Service Club's late-night activities were basically only attended by those who had an intimate relationship with Hachiman Onii-chan. They wouldn't randomly bring outsiders in.
Girls like Hanabishi Haruka and Hiiragi Utena, who were their classmates, generally weren't invited, since Hachiman Onii-chan had no connection with them. Unless there were special circumstances, bringing them over wouldn't lead to anything immediate.
But Hiiragi Utena was a bit different from Hanabishi Haruka and the others. When she had transformed into the evil organization's female executive, she had had a hasty, superficial intimate contact with Hachiman Onii-chan.
With so many people playing here now, it seemed bad to leave Hiiragi Utena out.
But if they let Hiiragi Utena stay... she would learn secrets she shouldn't know.
"I-I want to play! I'll play! I can keep a secret!"
Seeing Asougi Shion hesitate mid-sentence, Hiiragi Utena, who had been about to leave and find Hanabishi Haruka and the others, also hesitated. After a moment, she immediately grabbed Asougi Shion's hands and stared earnestly at Asougi Shion.
Although she didn't understand what kind of little game could be played like this, since Shion said it was a misunderstanding and that they weren't bullying Hikigaya Onii-chan, she wanted to see for herself what was really going on.
If possible, she didn't want to suspect Shion and Komachi of having bad intentions toward Hikigaya Onii-chan. Shion and Komachi were the first friends she had finally made, and they were also Hikigaya Onii-chan's good friends.
But Hikigaya Onii-chan had been very kind to her too. It even seemed that Shion and Komachi had only started playing with her and Sakura and become friends because Hikigaya Onii-chan had heard about her and Sakura's situation and suggested it.
Otherwise, how could an ordinary, very plain girl like her have come to visit the Hikigaya family together with the very popular Hanabishi Haruka and the others?
"Utena, do you know what you're getting into by joining us? You won't regret it?"
Asougi Shion thought for a moment, feeling that Hiiragi Utena probably didn't realize what kind of special game she meant by "play." She needed to remind her again, otherwise what if Hiiragi Utena noticed something was wrong and got so nervous and shy she ran away, just like Komachi?
Absolutely not allowed to run.
Utena either never joined, or once she joined, she wasn't allowed to run. Even if she tried to run, they would catch her and bring her back.
"I won't regret it!"
Hiiragi Utena answered without hesitation.
This was to save Hikigaya Onii-chan. How could she regret it.
"Alright, since you really want to play with us, I won't stop you. Right now we need to find Komachi and Sakura. Utena, you come look with us."
Seeing Hiiragi Utena agree decisively, Asougi Shion didn't hesitate any longer.
Even if Utena learned secrets she couldn't tell, she probably wouldn't dare to blab them carelessly.
However, since Utena was willing to join them, maybe they could even bring Haruka and the others in too.
Although Utena, Haruka, and the others weren't little sisters and couldn't all become Hachiman Onii-chan's little sisters, that didn't quite fit the future development plan for little sisters she and Maria had discussed and studied, what if they thought about it differently?
Instead of making Utena and the others Hachiman Onii-chan's little sisters, they could make Utena, Haruka, Sakura, and the others members of this special faction.
So far, all the many small groups and factions were at Sobu High. It was said that some forces had also sent people to their school. Komachi had already approved their transfer applications, so their school was about to become another battlefield.
But those transfer students hadn't even entered their school yet.
If they could bring all of them into their faction once they joined the school, wouldn't they be able to create another special faction alongside the human faction, the elf faction, and the dragon faction?
A training faction that could accommodate small groups from various forces and nurture new members for the other factions?!
After all, Hachiman Onii-chan's talent for developing and awakening magical girls wasn't difficult. They just needed to have all the new people joining their school come over for development.
With a faction and power, she and Komachi wouldn't end up like now, having status in name but unable to participate properly in anything, always ending up in awkward positions.
Asougi Shion's heart stirred. She turned to look at Naruse Maria and saw Maria, as if by telepathy, looking back at her.
"Hee hee~ The previous plan is now changed to the Magical Girl Raising Project~"
Naruse Maria, who had recently been dragging Shion through several imouto-themed games and magical girl games, winked at Asougi Shion and flashed a mischievous smile.
"Whether they're adopted little sisters or magical girls, aside from being used for education, what else can they be used for?"
"Magical girls? Adopted little sisters? And..."
Hiiragi Utena, who had been very happy to be accepted so she could join the little game, stared blankly at Naruse Maria and Asougi Shion, wondering if she had misheard.
Didn't they say it was a misunderstanding?
Raising magical girls through education... Why did that sound even scarier than an evil organization?
Naruse Mio, the new sister of New Demon Lord's, was completely bewildered as she watched Asougi Shion and the others speak some strange words in a guarded manner. It wasn't until Naruse Maria said that special phrase that she realized Maria was once again seducing others into believing her own weird ideas.
'This Maria! Usually she's always urging Master Onii-chan to treat me that way, fine!'
'But now she's even tempting Shion and the others to do the same?'
Although Naruse Mio was speechless at Naruse Maria's obvious intention to stir up trouble and wanted to stop Maria from projecting her own desires onto others and making everyone call Hachiman "Master Onii-chan" like she did, Asougi Shion didn't see it that way. She genuinely thought this idea of hers and Maria's was very feasible.
A faction didn't have to be cut off and opposed to other factions; they could also complement each other.
Both the magical girl development plan by the human faction and the demihuman support plan by the elf faction focused on Sobu High and the Service Club. Few people paid attention to Komachi and the others' school.
Even if some people were sent to their school, it was only because Sobu High had many restrictions and some students weren't the right age to transfer there.
In any case, they held the initiative. Transfer students from various major forces would actively approach them. They could easily set up a special training faction here, launch a magical girl raising plan and a demihuman raising plan, and complement the human faction of Kaede-neesan and the demihuman faction of Eirushi-neesan and Urusura-neesan.
Especially since among them, there weren't only magical girls, but also a female executive of an evil organization.
"Utena, if I remember correctly... you really admire magical girls, don't you?"
Asougi Shion suddenly thought of something and stared intently at the timid-looking Hiiragi Utena.
Even though Hiiragi Utena had become an evil organization executive and an enemy of magical girls, based on what Shion had learned about her recently, Hiiragi Utena privately loved watching magical girl manga and anime and often collected magical girl merchandise.
In their class, they had both a magical girl and an evil organization female executive. They could definitely develop the gameplay of the magical girl raising plan further.
"Ah? Mm, mm... I really like magical girls..."
Hiiragi Utena was startled when Asougi Shion suddenly brought up her admiration for magical girls. She hesitated, nodded, and admitted it quietly while a faint blush rose on her face.
Although she had liked magical girls first and was later forced by the mysterious creature Venalita to become an evil organization executive, now that everyone knew she was a villain character from a magical girl series, would they think she was very two-faced for liking magical girls as a bad guy villain?
"So you normally like magical girls... then Utena, what do you think about defeating magical girls from outside the Service Club and bringing them back for Master Onii-chan to educate?"
Naruse Maria also guessed Asougi Shion's idea and immediately took out a whip, waving it as she grinned at Hiiragi Utena.
"I remember your transformed weapon is also a whip. The nature of the power a person awakens is closely related to the person themselves, especially for magical girls."
"Utena, you clearly really like magical girls, yet you turned into an evil organization executive, using a whip, a weapon that implies flogging, domination, punishment, and so on, as your weapon. That means what you really like inside isn't just magical girls, but humiliating magical girls, right?"
"For example, when you see a magical girl's defeat CG, do you get especially excited?"
"Gulp..."
Hiiragi Utena stared at the grinning Naruse Maria, biting her lower lip hard and unconsciously holding her breath.
Naruse Maria wasn't hiding anything at all; Utena could clearly see that Maria was obviously tempting her.
However, although she thought she truly loved magical girls and deeply admired the magical girls who represented love and peace, defeated evil, and protected the world,
Over this period, forced by Venalita to fight against magical girls, when she used her whip to attack magical girls, when the whip struck their buttocks and she heard them scream, she did feel a little strange.
Could it be that she really was the type of villain who enjoyed seeing magical girls suffer? Had she been misunderstanding herself all along?
"Of course, it doesn't have to mean forcing outside magical girls to accept our education. We can raise some magical girls ourselves, or bring some of our own magical girls to play games with us."
