Aside from the humans and demi-humans who had just joined like her, most of the girls who had been here for a long time seemed to simply like Hachiman and wanted to get closer to him.
During the game just now, she had used the shared-sensation wristband to experience everything firsthand. She could even feel the nervousness and unease, so it clearly wasn't just about sharing pleasure.
Yet these vampires, elves, and succubi were all just focused on enjoying themselves, with none of the joy that came from increasing their strength.
Even Suzune Shizumi, the goddess-angel who looked serious and acted as a role model in front of Majima Yuuri, was completely focused on clinging to Hachiman and getting closer to him.
"That's not being petty. It's preferential treatment for you. Tonight, you're the main character. Does this little bit of special treatment really make you unhappy?"
Seeing Yukari still staring at him intentionally or not, Hachiman smiled at her while stroking the smooth, silky silver-white hair of Lamy and Lily.
Hmm… Yukari's personality was a bit like Komachi's. On top of that, her voice was very similar to Komachi's, and her appearance was exactly his preferred type, long black straight hair. With a snow woman like her appearing in tonight's game, it was hard for him not to wonder what Iris had arranged.
Even though he already had some guesses, he still couldn't figure out exactly how things would play out.
"The main character tonight should be you, Lord Hikigaya. How would I be qualified to be one?", Yukari found his so-called special treatment a bit absurd. She pursed her lips, then looked at him in confusion.
"But I really didn't expect that the person our clan leader said could help us would be you. It hasn't even been that long… how did you become this strong? Or were you hiding your strength back in the snowy mountains, just playing with me?"
If decades or even years had passed, she wouldn't have been this shocked. But it had only been a few months.
Humans live for at least decades, even over a hundred years. Being this strong at such a young age, and improving at such a terrifying rate, it was hard to imagine what he would be like in a few decades.
"I wasn't hiding my strength. It's just that my situation is complicated. In short, I got to where I am today thanks to the support of my friends in the club. Everyone likes me and supports me, and that's why I'm where I am now."
Hachiman smiled. He didn't hide that he had once been an ordinary person, but he also didn't reveal too many details.
He wasn't lying either. At home, he relied on his sister; outside, he relied on friends.
Whether it was the foolish Hayase Saki who used calming magic on him, or Yuina and the others who wanted to "raise" him.
Or the elf princesses like Iris who saw him as a savior and sought his aid, the Kaede and Suzu sisters who were stubborn yet soft-hearted and kept accommodating him, or Karuizawa Kei who wanted to be his pet and enjoy his protection and affection.
Everyone lent him a hand, again and again. With continuous improvement and the service halo, that was how he reached where he was today.
"Forget it. If you don't want to say, then don't. I won't ask anymore."
Completely unconvinced by his "relying on friends," Yukari rolled her eyes again.
Who would believe someone could actually grow stronger by relying on friends? If the girls suffered any harm, people might notice something. But the problem was, the girls only gained benefits—one after another.
Besides pure strength growth and overwhelming physical and mental pleasure, there were now additional abilities like awakening magic essence and the magical girl template, tailored specifically for demi-humans and humans.
No one could easily resist the temptation Hachiman brought.
Moreover, the various factions within the Service Club had already formed a massive network of interests. It wasn't something one or two individuals could resist with willpower alone.
This network operated in an absurd way beyond ordinary imagination, drawing in forces from Earth, other planets, and different worlds, whether they wanted to or not.
"Originally, I just came along with Mifuyu and the others. I didn't plan to participate in the aid. But since I've already enjoyed quite a bit here, as repayment, being your bed partner isn't impossible."
Yukari didn't dwell on those large-scale matters that only major powers needed to consider. Instead, she reached out and pulled over Yukino Mifuyu, who was standing beside her with her head lowered.
"But for now, I don't want to have a child. When you provide aid, take extra care of Mifuyu and the others."
"Besides Mifuyu, we snow women also have a pair of twins who really want your aid. If you're interested in another shy and introverted snow woman, I can help set things up."
She had never planned to get pregnant or have children. It was just that she happened to be in her reproductive period and Ursula had come to their village to persuade them, so she was pushed by their clan leader and village chief, Aoe Mai, to come down the mountain with the others.
But not wanting to get pregnant didn't mean she couldn't experience that kind of thing. After feeling so many girls' firsthand sensations through the shared wristband, she felt she could try it herself. Snow women didn't get pregnant easily anyway, so as long as she was careful, it would be hard for her to conceive.
"Ah?"
Yukino Mifuyu stared blankly as Yukari suddenly pulled her over, not expecting the topic to shift to her again.
"What are you pretending for? Weren't you enjoying yourself a lot just now?"
Yukari nudged her, trying to push the socially awkward Yukino Mifuyu straight into Hachiman's arms.
Mifuyu might look timid, but her figure was the best among the snow women. Yukari felt she would probably be the first among them to get pregnant.
Though that was her initial thought. After coming to the Service Club, she actually felt the twins Miyuki and Yukina were more likely to conceive.
So now Mifuyu had to make an effort to stand out. She couldn't lose her first time and still fail to leave an impression.
"S-Stop… don't say that… Yukari, please stop…"
Yukino Mifuyu quickly glanced at Hachiman. Seeing him look at her, she hurriedly covered Yukari's mouth and pleaded softly.
Earlier, when they couldn't see each other's faces, she could at least comfort herself.
Now, fully dressed and facing him directly, she couldn't handle the embarrassment.
Honestly, she thought it had been better before. She could just enjoy it without worrying about posture or expression, letting Hachiman take control of everything.
"Look at other sisters, then look at you. And you still want to find a man? Are you waiting for one to climb onto your bed by himself?"
Yukari looked at her with frustration, then grabbed Yukino Mifuyu and pushed her against Hachiman, ignoring the already blissful Lamy and Lily.
"Mm…"
Yukino Mifuyu bit her lip tightly, her neck flushing red with embarrassment. Yukari hadn't even found a man herself, so how could she say that? At least she had already crossed that line, she had already become a wife just now. All that was left was to get pregnant and become a mother-to-be.
But now that she had been pushed onto Hachiman, she had no time to dwell on that.
"Miss Mifuyu, are you disappointed after seeing my face? I still remember your reaction earlier. You seemed to like me quite a bit, didn't you?"
Hachiman's legs were held by the succubus sisters, but his hands were free. As soon as Yukino Mifuyu was pushed over, he wrapped his arms around her soft, full body and kissed her moist lips, smiling.
Although it was their first meeting, their intimacy had already surpassed his with Yukari. At this moment, he needed to take the initiative so this shy snow woman wouldn't pull away in fear.
"N-No… I'm just not used to it. We snow women live in the mountains. We… rarely interact with men…"
Yukino Mifuyu lowered her head, not daring to look at him, but he lifted her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze, her face burning with embarrassment.
Snow women like her, and like Shirayuki Mizore, rarely even went down to town, let alone spoke with men.
Her first proper meeting with Hachiman had been after their first intimate encounter.
It sounded absurd, but it actually made her feel at ease. She had seen his photo before and decided she could accept it.
Now, being held face-to-face like this made her heart race and left her at a loss.
"It's fine. After a few more times, you'll get used to it."
Hachiman smiled, tightening his arm around her waist and pressing her soft, full body against his chest.
As he leaned down to kiss her, he also pulled Yukari into his arms.
"Isn't that a bit greedy?"
Yukari laughed, looking at him. Even when he had no free time, he still made space to grab her.
Still… seeing Yukino Mifuyu's shy yet eager expression, she didn't mind his hand slipping into her kimono. Instead, she leaned in and kissed his cheek.
For this pregnancy aid, the snow women were the ones in need. They were the ones asking for his help.
With so many demi-humans and humans competing to please him, they had no real advantage, whether in numbers, beauty, desire, or strength. They didn't even have much of a faction; even a small mountain village counted as their entire race.
But after the previous game stage, Hachiman didn't force them to keep pleasing him. Instead, he adjusted how he interacted with them based on their personalities.
'Not bad. Saving him back then wasn't a waste.'
Yukari suddenly understood a little what it meant when people said others "held him up." Those demi-humans and humans might have been tied to him through benefits, but they also genuinely liked being close to him.
"Didn't you say there was no reward phase… that's so unfair…"
"We want some too…"
With the snow women and succubi clinging to him, Lumaria and Liye grew envious and tried to move in from behind.
Leticia and Tsukishiro Sayo opened their mouths but couldn't bring themselves to stop them. They exchanged glances, tempted as well.
Even Majima Yuuri and Suzune Shizumi couldn't hold back.
It wasn't that they were greedy or addicted to pleasure. The more they trained, the stronger they became, and the better they could protect innocent people from evil forces.
"Um… Master, Master! This stage doesn't have a reward phase!"
Seeing things spiral out of control, even Yukari, who had been specifically warned by Princess Iris, was getting close to Hachiman, Hayasaka Ai quickly spoke up, trying to stop the restless pairs of sisters. Gathering her courage, she tried to halt Hachiman's "aid" to Yukino Mifuyu and the others.
It was hard to believe. These demi-humans had just received his aid, how long had it even been? And they had already recovered and wanted more?
No wonder all the major factions valued Hachiman's ability so highly. Even she, after transforming into a magical girl, could barely handle it and needed quite some time just standing aside to recover.
For an ordinary human with average physical ability, they probably wouldn't even qualify to interact deeply with demi-humans. Once things got serious, they'd quickly realize they couldn't even meet basic daily intimacy needs.
Hayasaka Ai watched as the situation gradually slipped out of control. She was so anxious she almost wanted to step in and take everyone's place, accepting this completely unplanned "reward phase."
However, what relieved her slightly was that although things became chaotic, Lumaria and Leticia, Liye and Tsukishiro Sayo, those two pairs of "pseudo-sisters," along with the real succubus sisters Lamy and Lily, all ignored her attempts to stop them and insisted on more, even when they could barely stand. Hachiman and Yukari only acted slightly intimate, not going as far as the others.
She didn't quite understand why Princess Iris had specifically warned her not to let Yukari get too close to Hachiman, but it seemed Yukari herself had also been warned.
Without needing much persuasion, she pushed Yukino Mifuyu and the others toward serving him, then quickly stepped away from his grasp and stayed out of it.
"Onii-chan~ good night. Mifuyu and I will head back to rest first. Next time, we'll bring other snow women to serve you~"
Looking at the vampire sisters, elf sisters, and succubus sisters collapsed on the ground, Yukari blinked, stepped over them, and waved goodbye with a cheerful smile as she pulled Yukino Mifuyu along.
"Lord Hikigaya… next time, next time I'll serve you properly!"
Yukino Mifuyu didn't dare say she wanted to stay. She could only walk with her legs pressed together, looking back every few steps as she followed Yukari out.
Even though there weren't many people here, she knew many were watching.
Being with others was one thing. Alone, it would be far too embarrassing. Next time, if it was in private with familiar companions, she wouldn't be so nervous.
"Mm, goodbye Mifuyu. I hope when you truly serve me, Yukari, you'll still be as stubborn as you are now."
Hachiman watched the two leave with interest, amused by Yukari deliberately mimicking Komachi's tone.
Her voice was so similar to Komachi's that others couldn't have missed it. They must have already met in the club.
If he closed his eyes, he wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
But no matter how similar, they weren't the same. One look, one touch, and the differences were obvious, body shape, hair length. One had long straight black hair, the other short hair with a cowlick. Playing with Yukari only added a bit of novelty.
Now, what truly left him speechless were Liye, Tsukishiro Sayo, Lumaria, and Leticia.
Looking at the ground, where the vampire sisters, elf sisters, and succubus sisters lay in clearly separated groups, Hachiman felt helpless.
The newly added reward phase shouldn't have ended so quickly. The newcomers like Liye and Lumaria didn't like him as much as their younger counterparts Sayo and Leticia. Their feelings were more reverence than affection, so they should have lasted longer.
However, the succubus sisters Lamy and Lily were different. Their awakened succubus bloodline wasn't fully controlled, so they instinctively absorbed vitality from anyone they touched.
Even vampires and elves couldn't avoid being affected.
The ones lying there now weren't drained of vitality, but had accidentally touched the succubus sisters and received a kind of "damage amplification" effect.
Originally, vampires and elves already had little resistance to him. Combined with the service halo and awakened magic essence, the multiple layers of stimulation nearly overwhelmed them.
Adding the succubus amplification effect on top of that, they quickly collapsed like the sisters themselves.
So far, the shared wristband had the strongest effect when worn by Lamy and Lily. With their sensations stacking, even they couldn't handle it.
Fortunately, the shared-sensation wristband only connected two people at a time, unlike the resonance bracelet which stacked effects. Lala had also developed new controllable devices for weaker newcomers, otherwise new members wouldn't dare try the club's benefits at all.
"Master, we should proceed to the next game stage."
Seeing that Hachiman still seemed unsatisfied and might continue playing with the demi-human sisters, Hayasaka Ai softly reminded him.
There was no strict rule about when to play, but now that these physically strong demi-humans were all collapsed, if Master kept going, she would be the one to suffer in the end.
Well… strictly speaking, it wasn't suffering. Considering the benefits she gained, being favored by Master was more like a reward, just one she could barely handle.
But letting all those noble ladies, including Lady Kaguya, foreign princesses, and others wait outside while watching her enjoy this?
That didn't seem appropriate.
As a proper attendant maid, sleeping with Master was part of her duty, but only when the young lady didn't have time or wasn't feeling well. How could she take his place on the bed while her lady waited?
"Ai, what's the next game?"
Hachiman didn't disturb the demi-human sisters still immersed in their lingering pleasure. Turning to the somewhat nervous Hayasaka Ai, he pulled the blonde, blue-eyed maid into his arms and asked calmly about the next round.
