Having master brother is actually already enough. Only master brother can give them the real antidote.
If they want to experience things like friends, there are plenty of succubi in the club. It's hard to say how many there might be in the future. They might even end up complaining about having too many succubus friends.
But she felt that other succubi with strong desires and high needs weren't really the main point.
Their succubus traits were a racial talent, their racial nature, and they had also endured loneliness for several hundred years. But what about the other demihumans, the other humans?
Everyone in the club was more greedy than the three of them sisters.
Even though they weren't succubi, they still wanted to monopolize master brother for all sorts of reasons.
"Mm... anyway, don't worry. If you're afraid of being affected by our charm abilities, then leave right now. Don't bother us and Master Hachiman."
Amaki Lamy also didn't want to explain too much to Ryuzaki Hina, Nanasaki Ai, and the others. Seeing the portion that was originally hers being licked by Kotegawa Yui and Kumatsu Yukariko, as if it had nothing to do with her, she puffed out her cheeks in anger, stuck out her chest, and moved closer, trying to push out Kumatsu Yukariko and Kotegawa Yui in a new way.
If you just touched them a little, you'd only have some of your energy drained. Especially for demihumans and magical girls with strong physical bodies. A simple touch that separates right away wouldn't cause any life-threatening danger.
But right now, there was also Kumatsu Yukariko next to them, wearing the empathy bracelet, still lost in the afterglow.
Every succubus has her own talent. Either awakening abilities like Lily's to modify perception, or strengthening their charm abilities.
Like a certain succubus hiding among the teachers. Whenever she gets aroused or dreams, it affects the residents living nearby. From what this teacher said, she not only found a place to live in a remote area with no people around, but also has to take the early morning empty train to school to avoid unconsciously emitting succubus traits.
Sakurase Shino, whose family once fell apart and who had nowhere to go, was the same way. If she didn't keep enough distance from others, she would easily make them develop evil, improper thoughts.
Although Kumatsu Yukariko was lucky enough to meet Master Hachiman right after becoming a succubus, she didn't have to go through the difficult life of a succubus living alone in human society. She just had to lick master every day to absorb energy.
But Kumatsu Yukariko still had the racial talent of a succubus. When she gets aroused, it makes the people around her aroused too. Even her beloved Master Hachiman can't refuse and can't help but come forward to offer himself.
That's why Nanasaki Ai had no choice but to wait outside the nurse's office. And Kotegawa Yui, lying beside her, was trembling all over and weak, yet still couldn't help opening her mouth.
"Shameless! Aren't you just bullying Hikigaya-kun?"
Kotegawa Yui hadn't been able to control her body. She was stuck in a loop of wanting to eat the delicious thing right in front of her but knowing she shouldn't. But when Amaki Lamy and Kumatsu Yukariko pushed her aside with loud slaps, she slowly regained control of her body.
Even though her body was still trembling, and it was hard to imagine what she had just gone through.
But Kotegawa Yui came back to her senses, looked at the three succubi, Kumatsu Yukariko, Amaki Lamy, and Amaki Lily, and saw that while each of them was saying things like "we succubi are like this, you humans stay out of it," they couldn't hide the fact that they were working together to humiliate and drain Hachiman.
Her soft, weak limbs had just regained a little strength, but she couldn't control her shame and anger. She fired off a furious question at Amaki Lamy and the others.
She wasn't even talking about breaking school rules anymore. This was school bullying.
'They don't take Hikigaya-kun's life seriously.'
'How terrible...'
'Using succubus abilities to do this kind of thing to Hikigaya-kun...'
Even she, as a girl, was affected by the succubus abilities and couldn't control her body. So it had to be even worse for Hikigaya-kun, who was a teenage boy with a head full of those kinds of thoughts.
'Could it be that Hikigaya-kun is usually charmed by the succubi?'
'Otherwise, why would he skip class every day?'
When she thought about it carefully, the few times Hachiman came to class, he was pretty serious. He didn't seem like a student who liked skipping class every day.
Even the test results from before today had come out. Not only did Hikigaya-kun do really well, but Kirisu Mafuyu, who rarely missed a chance to use the chronically delinquent Hikigaya as a bad example, didn't this time. And Mizuho Kagami kept praising Hikigaya.
Even though he missed a lot of subjects, the ones he didn't miss he got perfect scores.
And the students sitting in the back row around Hikigaya-kun, Ijichi Nijika, Miura Yumiko, Gabriel, and others also got very good grades. It didn't look like Hikigaya was disturbing them and affecting their studies.
If Hikigaya really was the kind of frivolous boy who bothered girls during class, why would they have such good relationships with him?
Maybe it was because she had just been forced into a clear-headed state, but Kotegawa Yui's mind was extremely sharp right now. She was thinking very quickly.
Still, the more she analyzed, the more alarmed she became.
She felt like she had discovered the truth behind Hikigaya's truancy, and through that, had uncovered the darkness hiding behind Sobu High.
She thought about how the elf princess had started coming to class to find Hikigaya after enrolling;
How transfer students including Amaki sisters kept arriving one after another, all of them girls no matter what race or identity; and how Hachiman, who had originally followed the rules and been a good student, had started skipping class every day right after the elf princess enrolled. There were even rumors that he was often seen coming and going with many transfer students and was close with them.
These kinds of small rumors kept appearing at Sobu High no matter what. Many boys envied and were jealous of Hachiman's situation. Even some gyaru girls were proud to have a connection with Hikigaya, because it gave them something interesting to talk about in their friend groups.
But right now, she only saw Hachiman being drained by several succubi in turn, unable to speak. It seemed like they drained him from class time all the way to after school, even telling them to leave and not interfere.
Suddenly, Kotegawa Yui had an extremely bold guess that even she found unbelievable.
It seemed that Hikigaya, with his unique talent, was being drained in turn by many groups led by the elf princess.
Various clubs including the Service Club, the girls' competitive swimming club, the tennis club...
And as Hikigaya's childhood friend, was Kaede from the student council betraying Hikigaya?
Otherwise, why would she never come to class to find Hikigaya? Even Rurikawa Tsubaki, the vice president who also served as class representative, kept her distance from Hikigaya in class.
But some people had also seen Hikigaya coming and going from the student council with other girls.
'The truth hidden in the shadows of Sobu High...'
'Is it really this dark?'
"Asai-senpai... what exactly... is 'customs activity'?"
In that moment, Kotegawa Yui, full of anger, felt a bit lost. She couldn't help but look at Asai Saki, who had just helped her break through the defense line and come in to save Hikigaya.
Because she suddenly thought of the strange blacklist kept by the disciplinary committee. The blacklist with only Hikigaya's name on it, and the corresponding "customs activity."
What role did they, the disciplinary committee, play in all this?
Helping the powerful rich girls and princesses bully and drain Hikigaya?
Or protecting Hikigaya from being violated?
Even though the disciplinary committee was supposed to stand on the side of justice, they were just students maintaining school rules and discipline. They were more likely to be standing on the evil side as accomplices.
"Don't worry, I'll help you. Ryuzaki-senpai, Iino, them too."
Seeing the change in Kotegawa Yui's eyes, Asai Saki understood that her image, of a proper, innocent girl, which she had maintained by holding back her urge to serve master, was working. She slowly swallowed, reached out both hands to tightly hold Kotegawa Yui's hands, and nodded seriously and earnestly.
"Kotegawa, let's protect Mas... Hikigaya-kun together!"
"Mm! Let's-let's save Hikigaya-kun together!"
Kotegawa Yui looked at Asai Saki holding her hands, then turned her head to look at Ryuzaki Hina and Iino Miko, who clearly also hadn't participated in the bullying and were blushing and not knowing what to do in this situation. She bit her lip and nodded slowly but firmly.
Even though just facing the elf princess was suffocating enough, not to mention the Yukinoshita family, the Rurikawa family, and other locally famous families.
But she believed not everyone was participating in the bullying. And not everyone would just watch Hikigaya get bullied and do nothing.
For example, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was always calling students in for talks and worrying about problem students; Kirisu Mafuyu, who seemed cold and unapproachable but actually cared deeply about her students' studies; Mizuho Kagami and Kashima Risako, who had once changed the school's disciplinary decisions and worked hard even when they saw unfair treatment of troubled students.
"..."
First find trustworthy teachers and seniors, then find kind students among the transfer students who couldn't bear to see Hikigaya bullied and taken advantage of. As long as they joined together.
She believed that the elf princess couldn't control everything at Sobu High.
Save Hachiman?
That seemed a bit off?
Even if they had misunderstood and thought they were bullying Hachiman, wasn't the topic jumping too fast?
Nanasaki Ai, Tachibana Miya, Nakata Sae, Ryuzaki Hina, and Iino Miko looked at each other in confusion after hearing the sudden exchange between Kotegawa Yui and Asai Saki.
Most of the people around the hospital bed knew about Hachiman from campus rumors.
Iino Miko, who had come for Hachiman, hadn't joined the Service Club yet. And Ryuzaki Hina, who knew the real content of the "customs activity," only understood part of Hachiman's actual situation.
Even Mikado Ryoko, who paid close attention to Hachiman and had a rough idea of how many girls at school were close to him, had to think for a moment before understanding who Kotegawa Yui was trying to save Hachiman from.
However, Asai Saki had already joined the Service Club. And as a disciplinary committee member who appeared proper on the surface but was actually a pervert, she had been watching Kotegawa Yui, Iino Miko, and Ryuzaki Hina.
Wanting to offer them one by one to Hachiman to gain more favor, she instantly understood what Kotegawa Yui meant. She even confirmed Kotegawa Yui's misunderstanding.
She knew that Kotegawa Yui's misunderstanding would be easy to clear up.
But right now, Asai Saki naturally wasn't going to give them a chance to explain.
She would even try to drag the others into this and make them help her deceive Kotegawa Yui.
Once Kotegawa Yui formed a fixed belief, even if someone explained things to her later, she wouldn't believe it.
After all, inside and outside of school, all those girls around master really were draining him, nonstop day and night.
If master weren't so capable, those rich girls and princesses might have used their power to lock him in a basement or research facility for their own exclusive use.
"Ryuzaki-senpai, Iino Miko, let's go back and talk!"
Asai Saki called out to Ryuzaki Hina and Iino Miko, then immediately pulled Kotegawa Yui, whose legs were weak and limp, whose face had an unusual flush, and whose chest was heaving, clearly not in good condition, out of the nurse's office.
She couldn't trust Nanasaki Ai and the others to help her fool Kotegawa Yui. And Kotegawa Yui probably wouldn't trust them either.
But as fellow disciplinary committee members who maintained school discipline and prevented students from being bullied or treated unfairly, she could easily gain Kotegawa Yui's trust.
From today on, their disciplinary committee might be able to formally join the fight in the name of protecting master.
"Huh? Oh!"
Seeing that Asai Saki was going to leave the foul-smelling nurse's office with Kotegawa Yui, Ryuzaki Hina naturally had no objection. She quickly nodded, glanced briefly at the four people on the bed, and followed them out.
She was one of the disciplinary committee members who carried out the customs activity. Maybe she even had some interest in these things. But she really hadn't prepared herself mentally and didn't know how to face Hachiman.
If Sakurai Hana, Asai Saki, and the others forced her, maybe she would go along with it half-reluctantly. After all, so many girls at school had already done it. As a disciplinary committee member, how could she keep running away from her responsibility and duty? But if it were up to her to make the first move, she would definitely be too embarrassed to stay on her own.
Iino Miko, as the newcomer, didn't have much say. She could only follow her seniors out.
But before leaving, she bowed to apologize for her seniors and wrap things up. She couldn't help sneaking a few more glances at the four people on the bed. She saw Kumatsu Yukariko and Amaki Lamy sandwiching Hachiman, who was lying down, between them. Amaki Lily sat at the head of the bed, her slender, soft, fair, stocking-clad feet pressing lightly on Hachiman's chest, trembling and drawing circles again and again.
"Sorry for intruding! You, you can continue!"
Seeing the clear, sparkling saliva on the lips of Amaki Lily and the others, Iino Miko's face turned bright red again. She quickly turned and left the nurse's office to catch up with Ryuzaki Hina and the others who had already gone far.
She finally understood why Shinomiya-senpai and the others had such complicated, strange looks on their faces this morning, as if they couldn't explain it. Even Fujiwara-senpai didn't have her usual enthusiasm and looked completely dejected.
Facing Hikigaya-san, who could take on three succubi by himself, Shinomiya-senpai and the others wouldn't stand a chance even if they all went together. They would probably pass out immediately. How could they undergo the magical girl awakening ceremony then?
She heard that the longer the awakening ceremony lasted, the stronger the magical girl would be.
Even though she also had a hard time imagining Shinomiya-senpai, Fujiwara-senpai, and the others all lying in Hikigaya-san's arms at the same time, the difference between Shinomiya-senpai and Fujiwara-senpai seemed a bit too big, while she and Shinomiya-senpai would be more balanced, her looks weren't as good as Shinomiya-senpai's.
"Iino-san, have you seen master?"
"Huh? Hayasaka-san? When you say master, do you mean Shinomiya-senpai?"
Iino Miko's head was a jumbled mess with those kinds of thoughts. Suddenly, she saw a blonde-haired beautiful girl walking toward her and speaking to her. She was startled and hesitated.
When she stopped and looked closely, she realized it was Hayasaka Ai, also from Shuchi'in Academy.
Only, Hayasaka Ai looked a bit different from the image Iino Miko had focused on monitoring at Shuchi'in Academy, where she was seen as a blonde gyaru.
Right now, Hayasaka Ai was wearing the Sobu High uniform. All the buttons at her collar were done up. Not only did she not have her blazer tied around her waist, but her shirt sleeves weren't rolled up to show her arms either.
Still, while Iino Miko only learned after coming to Sobu High that Hayasaka-san had been hiding her identity, that Hayasaka-san was actually Shinomiya-senpai's attendant, Hayasaka-san had always called Shinomiya-senpai "young lady," right?
"No, the master I mean is President Hikigaya."
Hayasaka Ai looked down slightly at Iino Miko, who was less than 150 cm tall and much smaller than Shinomiya Kaguya, and answered calmly.
"Head Maid Shion is busy with other things. President Hikigaya doesn't have a suitable maid to attend to him, so Kaguya-sama has lent me to President Hikigaya for a few days. Right now, President Hikigaya is my master."
"Iino-san, have you seen master's whereabouts? Kaguya-sama only told me that master wanted me to find him, but I went to master's classroom, and the others didn't seem to know where master was either."
"Ah, oh, so you mean Hikigaya-san. Uh, Hikigaya-san... he's in the nurse's office right now, but..."
Even though she didn't know how Hayasaka Ai had ended up becoming Hachiman's maid, Iino Miko thought about the intense situation in the nurse's office. She gently bit her soft, pink lower lip and wanted to explain the situation to stop Hayasaka Ai from going over.
Even though she knew that both Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya had come here for Hachiman, and that Hayasaka Ai, as a maid, by getting onto the bed and sleeping with Hachiman among so many rich girls competing for him, would probably be worth more than the daughter of an ordinary family in the future, the values she had grown up with still made her feel like this was a bit inappropriate.
Seeing several unfamiliar girls in Hachiman's bed didn't surprise her too much. She wasn't a little kid anymore. She knew that couples did that kind of thing. As the daughter of a judge on the Supreme Court, she knew very well that this kind of thing between men and women was too trivial to even be mentioned in many court cases.
It's just that this was the first time she had actually seen it, the first time she had witnessed such a shocking scene with her own eyes. It made her a little embarrassed.
But if she actually saw her former classmates and good friends all climbing into Hachiman's bed, she would feel very strange.
