Diary Of Service Club, Helping The Elf Princess

"Sorry, they just happened to have accepted a request and left school to help someone with a problem."

Hiratsuka Shizuka silently complained about Hikigaya and Yukinoshita Yukino in her heart. On the surface, however, she maintained an awkward expression as she looked at the elf princess Iris.

"They can even assist people off-campus?"

Iris was slightly stunned, but then showed a sweet smile, indicating that Hiratsuka Shizuka need not worry too much.

"Please don't take it to heart. If anything, it shows how busy they are helping others."

"As the advisor for this club, Hiratsuka-sensei, you must also be a very kind and helpful teacher."

"Ahahaha, you flatter me, you flatter me! Now, let's go visit the Kendo Club."

Faced with Iris' sincere gaze, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt too embarrassed to admit that she had been roped into being the club's advisor by those two and was merely a nominal figurehead. She quickly turned to lead Iris and her knight escort, Aegis, away from the Service Club room.

"Service Club... Perhaps we can seek their help..."

The elf princess Iris and her knight, Aegis, exchanged a glance while Hiratsuka Shizuka walked ahead, introducing the school. Without speaking, they understood each other's thoughts.

Originally, their transfer to this world as exchange students had its reasons, though this was not something they could disclose publicly.

Tomorrow, they would come back to the Service Club and use magic to inspect it. If the club's conditions matched their needs, they wouldn't have to worry anymore.

On the other side, Hikigaya, who had just been hung up on, was already at home with his group.

In the living room, he, Yukinoshita Yukino, Hayase Saki, and Yuna were currently studying methods for eye training.

Of course, while it was said to be a group effort, only Yukinoshita Yukino was seriously focused on the task. Even the timid Hayase Saki was wandering around the house with Yuina, as if searching for some unspeakable secret of Hikigaya's.

But they were destined to be disappointed. With a virtuous younger sister at home, how could Hikigaya possibly have anything inappropriate?

"The eye training methods we mentioned earlier mainly consist of three types: fixed gaze, shifting gaze, and sweeping gaze."

"Fixed gaze involves staring at a single target, the smaller the better, focusing both eyes on one point without blinking."

"Shifting gaze requires keeping the head still while moving the eyeballs within their sockets in all directions—up, down, left, and right—trying to reach the limits of your vision."

"As for sweeping gaze, the eyes should move like a broom, either quickly or slowly, ensuring that everything in the visual path is clearly seen."

Yukinoshita Yukino's efficiency was evident. While others were still curiously examining the house's layout or hoping for a brief rest, she had already pulled out the eye training methods and urged Hikigaya to start practicing immediately.

"Does this method really work? My eyes feel a bit sore already."

Hikigaya first tried the fixed gaze exercise, focusing on a small figurine on the cabinet.

However, after just a few minutes, his eyes began to feel sore. Staring at one thing without blinking seemed easy in theory, but in practice, it triggered an instinctive urge to blink.

"This is normal. Hold on for ten minutes, then rest." Yukinoshita Yukino remained unfazed and spoke calmly. "Even physical training requires long-term effort and cannot be achieved overnight. Eye training is no exception; you can't expect short-term results."

Since Hikigaya had taken on Yuna's request, Yukinoshita Yukino had maintained a cold demeanor towards him. Though, to be fair, her usually cute and rule-breaking face was perpetually adorned with a frosty poker expression.

Hikigaya had no choice. After all, he wanted the rewards from the gyaru girls' task. So, he continued with the training.

Focusing on one object during the fixed gaze exercise was quite dull, but luckily, Yukinoshita Yukino wasn't expecting him to master it in one day. She only wanted him to try all three basic methods to see which he preferred, so she could later find suitable training techniques.

Moving on to the shifting gaze exercise, which involved repeatedly moving his eyeballs, proved similarly tedious.

However, when it came to the sweeping gaze exercise, Hikigaya found it to be more suited to him.

Although his head had to remain still, moving his eyeballs to slowly observe the objects within his visual field felt less monotonous.

Compared to the earlier exercises, this one allowed him to observe many things. As the exercise required him to clearly see everything in his line of sight, his initial attempts made him move his gaze slowly, thoroughly examining each of the five girls in the living room from head to toe.

Rin, with her fierce eyes and rough speech, had surprisingly good skin—the fairest among the three gyaru girls.

Yuina, the lively one who often yelled, wasn't as fair as Rin but had smooth, healthy-looking legs with a slightly tanned glow.

Yuna, gentle and caring, had great skin and a well-proportioned figure. Unlike the other two who wore black ankle socks, her slender legs were adorned with white-trimmed mid-calf socks.

As for Hayase Saki, shy, introverted, and easily bullied, she had the best figure of them all. Hikigaya couldn't understand how someone with such a curvaceous figure managed to swim so fast and become the star of the girls' swim team.

Finally, there was Yukinoshita Yukino...

Yes, Yukinoshita Yukino remained as outstanding as ever, standing out noticeably even among the group.

"Once you're done training, close your eyes and rest properly. And stop staring so rudely."

Sipping tea gracefully, Yukinoshita Yukino noticed Hikigaya's gaze lingering on her. She set her teacup down on the table and shot him a cold glare.

"Is today's training session over? Then it's time for the reward."

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Yuna walked over with a cheerful smile, winking at Hikigaya and extending her slender, fair hands toward him.

"Thanks for working hard on the training today. Let me give you a little reward~"

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino silently turned away, her back facing Yuna and Hikigaya.

'They are really going to give him a reward?'

'And right here in the living room?'

She couldn't understand.

The first time is always rather special. Even if it might happen frequently later, Saki Hayase mustered the courage to secretly observe the scene over there that made people blush.

Although it wasn't her first time witnessing it, for her, the oppressive aura of the president when angry was far more shocking.

If she hadn't been afraid that the president would actually ignore her, she wouldn't have dared to boldly use her calming magic on the president.

But for so many people to brazenly and shamelessly do this in the living room…

Such things should only exist in manga or novels, right? She never thought she'd have the chance to witness it with her own eyes one day.

Fortunately, she didn't have to participate. Otherwise… ugh… although she had secretly gone through it with the president before…

With her mind gradually overloading, Saki Hayase couldn't help but shake her head violently, trying hard to shake off the increasingly embarrassing scenes in her head.

"Yukinoshita-san, you're not bothered by what the president and the others are doing?"

Embarrassed to the extreme, Saki Hayase suddenly noticed Yukino Yukinoshita sitting alone with her back to them, drinking tea. After hesitating for a moment, she carefully walked over and whispered.

"I'm not his lover, nor am I as boring as you all." Yukino Yukinoshita didn't even turn her head. "I'm just here to supervise them, to prevent them from using the excuse of a request to take Hikigaya out of school for matters unrelated to the request."

Although the current rewards had little to do with the content of the request, they were simply conditions set by the girls to make Hikigaya accept their requests.

"Yukinoshita-san doesn't mind? That's great…"

Hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's response, Saki Hayase immediately felt much more relieved. It seemed she hadn't wronged Yukino Yukinoshita.

To Saki Hayase, the president was a great person who had helped her fend off Kenichiro Miwa and stopped him from threatening her. Yukino Yukinoshita was also someone who stood up to protect her.

Although both the president and Yukino Yukinoshita were quite intimidating when angry, with just a stern face making her too scared to speak, the sense of security they gave her was immensely reassuring.

Especially after realizing how cool the president could be, she increasingly felt that Yukino Yukinoshita and the president were a perfect match.

She never expected Yukino Yukinoshita to personally state that she wasn't in a romantic relationship with the president.

What a relief.

"...Why should I care?"

However, upon hearing Saki Hayase mumbling, Yukino Yukinoshita's body stiffened. She turned her head expressionlessly, staring intently at Saki Hayase.

"You actually think I would like such a shady character with lecherous eyes and a depraved personality?"

"This is the greatest insult I've ever received."

This big-breasted airhead's perception of her was far more insulting than Hikigaya's impolite gaze.

"The president isn't that bad… The president is quite nice…"

Saki Hayase tried to muster the courage to say something nice about Hikigaya, but under Yukino Yukinoshita's aggressive gaze, she couldn't help but shrink back and weakly muttered.

"How can you still speak in his defense? Could it be that you like him?"

Yukino Yukinoshita slightly furrowed her brow. Although Saki Hayase's demeanor was timid, she instead found Saki Hayase to be somewhat bold.

Previously, Saki Hayase's first words when facing them were always an apology, and she constantly retreated under pressure from bad people, completely lacking her own opinions.

But now, after she had said a couple of words about Hikigaya, Saki Hayase dared to speak up in defense of him.

"N-no, someone like me isn't even qualified to be the president's friend…"

However, upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's question, Saki Hayase became even more flustered, shaking her head desperately to deny it.

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the panicked Saki Hayase with a blank expression.

Should she call her simple-minded or just plain stupid? Saki Hayase was too easy to read.

But she couldn't understand—when did Saki Hayase start liking Hikigaya? 'Could it be because of what happened yesterday?'

'But that didn't even count as a heroic rescue of a damsel in distress, right? She was present too.'

If Hikigaya was the super-handsome guy in the phone picture, she might have found it more reasonable.

'But now, he hadn't even transformed from his dead-fish eyes into a handsome guy yet. How could Saki Hayase have developed feelings for him so quickly after just a few meetings?'

'Or is it that Saki Hayase really was just a big-breasted airhead?'

Yukino Yukinoshita stared at her innocent and pitiful snow-white face and the lewd body curves it outlined. She recalled Saki Hayase's foolish behavior when confronted by scumbags in the past.

'It seemed this person also needs some training.' [T/N: Stay away bit*h]

On the other side, Yuna had already finished rewarding Hikigaya and had gone to the restroom.

"How was it? With Yuna being so gentle, didn't it feel great~?"

Watching Hikigaya finish putting on his pants, Yuina, sitting on the sofa with him, chuckled. [T/N: 😮]

"Didn't today's reward make you feel that the training was worthwhile? Don't slack off during the next session."

Rin crossed her arms, standing to the side, and sniffed the air.

"Yuna is indeed caring and gentle…"

Thinking of Yuna's gentle and attentive demeanor just now, Hikigaya couldn't help but nod.

Actually, he wasn't accepting their requests because of their rewards, but mainly for the abilities gained through task rewards.

If he really had to talk about feelings, what Saki Hayase brought him in the clubroom felt stronger.

But since Yuna and the others went out of their way to reward him to help him become more handsome, whether it was training or rewards, he had already gained benefits.

What more could he say? He shouldn't take advantage and still complain.

"Today's training ends here. It's time for us to leave."

Noticing the reward session had ended, Yukino Yukinoshita approached with Saki Hayase.

"Huh? Leaving so soon? There's still a lot of time before club activities are over, isn't there?"

Yuina looked at Yukino Yukinoshita in surprise. She thought the training session would last for quite a while, especially since everyone had come to Hikigaya's house.

"His gaze isn't suited for high-intensity training."

Yukino Yukinoshita coldly stated with a stern face. If it weren't for them trying to tempt Hikigaya with rewards, they wouldn't have left the school for training.

"Then how about adding a body-shaping session? Your face would look even better if it were a bit slimmer. If you completed two sessions at once, the reward would be doubled too~"

Yuina's eyes darted as she teasingly suggested to Hikigaya.

"Yuina, you're such a perverted muscle fetishist."

Before Hikigaya could respond, Rin glanced at Yuina and retorted without mercy.

"What's the point of a handsome guy without some muscle? Of course, you need to work out to have a good body. Your obsession with whitening skin is what's pointless."

Yuina rolled her eyes and immediately countered Rin without hesitation.

"Heh, tomorrow I'll bring him some face masks. Then you'll see what a real handsome guy looks like."
