"But that friend has a younger sister. It seems that because of joint liability, she ended up carrying a lot of her parents' debt and has been harassed by a debt-collecting yakuza group, so Kikyo, you'll have to deal with it."
"Kikyo, talk to Shizuka afterward and learn the details. If you need money or extra people, you can also contact Haruno, Tsubaki, or the others in the club."
"Ugh..."
Hearing that Hachiman had already thought of a rough solution and only needed someone to carry it out, Kushida Kikyo had nothing to say and could only keep nodding.
This way of first hitting her with a stick and then giving her a reward afterward was practically treating her like a dog.
But she had to admit that even though she saw it clearly, it still worked on her.
Being sent out to handle work seemed better than taking over the head maid position at Sobu High.
The people at Sobu High, whether students or teachers, were basically fruits being raised within Hachiman's territory. No one could pick them. The only difference was whether they had officially been marked by him yet.
Here, no matter how ruthless she wanted to be, there was nothing she could do. She had to be gentler and couldn't disrupt the atmosphere.
Her own strength, influence, and background were all extremely ordinary. Combined with the image she maintained, she had no advantage at all when competing with the others.
But things were different outside.
Maybe she could use the excuse of working for Hachiman to recruit new members into her own small group.
For example, this indebted teacher recommended by Hiratsuka Shizuka belonged to Shizuka's side, but didn't that teacher have a younger sister? She probably hadn't been dragged in yet, otherwise it wouldn't be her turn to step in.
'Hmm...'
'The indebted sisters recommended by Shizuka-sensei can't be treated too roughly.'
'But the yakuza group running loan sharks...'
'There is no need to be gentle with them.'
'If those yakuza have daughters they could offer up, that would be fine.'
'If not, then it is time to think about how they should die.'
Previously, Kanzaki Sayaka had been under Shion's supervision. When the time came, she actually dared to back out. Her debt had been repaid, her parents had been rescued, and yet she still didn't have to dedicate herself to Master?
In the end, only Kanzaki Sayaka's younger sister, Kanzaki Moemi, had served Master for a while.
If she had been in charge, something like that never would have happened.
She would have delivered both sisters straight to Master's table.
"Gulp..."
Unlike Kushida Kikyo, who was focused on securing her future and had long grown used to the scenes around Hachiman,
Hasebe Haruka, who had been standing nearby from the start, could no longer watch.
She had known for a long time that Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Kei were Hachiman's maids, so she had been mentally prepared for the obedient way Kushida acted in front of him.
But why were Sakayanagi Arisu and the others acting so submissively too?
Although Sakayanagi Arisu's group, consisting of herself and Kamuro Masumi, only had one more member than Horikita Suzune, the aloof black-haired girl who isolated everyone around her,
Sakayanagi Arisu had once been the leader of Class A, and Kamuro Masumi had also been a Class A student. They had always ignored them and looked down on those former underachievers from Class D.
Before this, she had only heard rumors about Karuizawa Kei, Kushida Kikyo, and Hachiman. She had never heard any rumors linking Sakayanagi Arisu's group to him.
She had thought Sakayanagi would at least show some backbone.
At the very least, she wouldn't surrender so quickly.
Yet the proud Sakayanagi Arisu she remembered was unbelievably well-behaved in front of Hachiman, clinging to him like a kitten seeking affection.
Now she was even serving him together with Kushida Kikyo.
Meanwhile, Hasebe Haruka was so embarrassed and flustered that she had no idea what to do.
Unlike Satou Maya, who had buried her face in a pillow and continued pretending to be an ostrich,
Matsushita Chiaki quietly raised her head and stole glances at Kamuro Masumi on Sakura Airi's body, as well as Sakayanagi Arisu serving Hachiman alongside Kushida Kikyo.
If only they themselves were desperately trying to please the same boy, that would naturally be humiliating.
But if even Kamuro Masumi and Sakayanagi Arisu, who joined later, had made the same choice, then there was nothing shameful about it.
They could even proudly say that they had gotten there first.
They never thought about why Sakayanagi Arisu was trying so hard to please Hachiman.
Nor did they need to.
All they needed to know was that everyone in class acted the same way around him.
Behind Hachiman, Shinohara Satsuki and Mori Nene were enduring their embarrassment and carefully adjusting the strength of their massage, doing their best to make the busy Hachiman comfortable.
Their looks and figures were not especially outstanding to begin with.
Even Sakayanagi Arisu was so obedient toward Hachiman.
They could be said to have no advantage at all.
But they had already given up so much.
If Hachiman still ended up dissatisfied with them, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"Alright, Kaka. You've been watching for long enough. It's time to make your choice."
Seeing that the collective mindset of her friends serving Hachiman had already formed, Karuizawa Kei nodded in satisfaction and then looked toward Hasebe Haruka, the only person in the bedroom who had not joined in.
If there were too many pretty girls in class, then appearance and temperament were subjective and it would be hard to decide who was the most beautiful.
But figures were different.
Hasebe Haruka was definitely among the best and largest.
Her full, upright figure made swimsuits look especially attractive.
During swimming classes, she never got into the water and simply waited beside the pool wearing a jacket.
Hmm... though things were a little different now.
Kushida Kikyo might have surpassed Hasebe Haruka.
As for Ichinose Honami, who had originally been in their class but transferred into Master's class through connections, she was probably the best among all of them.
Kei had no idea how much affection Master had given Ichinose Honami.
After all, Ichinose always managed to get a share everywhere.
"Uh... there's no room left on the bed, right? I can do it next time..."
When Karuizawa Kei's dangerous gaze landed on her, Hasebe Haruka's heart started pounding. She swallowed nervously and gave a quiet, indirect refusal.
"Weren't you pretty decisive when you pushed Airi forward? What are you saying now?"
Karuizawa Kei slowly walked over to Hasebe Haruka and spoke in a tone that left no room for argument.
The bed wasn't very large.
With so many people crowded on it, there really wasn't much space left.
But was that actually a reason to refuse?
"That was because Airi likes Hikigaya-kun! That's why I did it! I don't feel that way about Hikigaya-kun."
Seeing that Karuizawa Kei seemed ready to use force, Hasebe Haruka hurriedly explained.
She admitted that Hachiman was very attractive.
Whether it was his appearance, physique, personality, or reputation, everything about him was good.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have pushed Airi toward him despite knowing how many girls were already around him.
She wasn't opposed to dating.
Since so many people were willing to be with Hachiman, it wouldn't be impossible for her to try as well.
But the problem was that Hachiman was the boy Airi liked.
Serving the same boy together with her best friend...
"It's fine. You'll like Master too."
Seeing that Hasebe Haruka only had a mental barrier and wasn't actually resistant to or disgusted by Hachiman, Karuizawa Kei took out a black collar, suddenly appeared behind her, and directly fastened it around her neck.
"What?"
The moment the shared-sensation function on the black collar was activated, Hasebe Haruka shuddered.
Her legs gave out and she dropped into a duck-sitting position in front of the bed, biting her lower lip hard.
"Kaka, a-are you okay?"
Seeing something strange happen to Hasebe Haruka, Sakura Airi quickly reached out and took her hand.
With so many people gathered around, she hadn't dared to speak.
Only after Hasebe sat down did she finally open her mouth.
"I-I'm fine... I'm fine..."
Hasebe Haruka gripped Sakura Airi's hand and shook her head with difficulty.
Even though she hadn't done anything, the feedback coming from all over her body still made her instinctively gasp for breath.
Then she noticed the silver bracelet on Sakura Airi's wrist.
She also noticed the matching silver bracelet worn by Kamuro Masumi behind them.
"Pfft!"
Her eyes rolled back. Her body shook.
'Even the...'
'Even the frequency is exactly the same...'
Was this why Kushida Kikyo, Karuizawa Kei, and the others always wore those black collars?
There seemed to be many girls at Sobu High wearing this kind of collar accessory.
'This is ridiculous...'
Karuizawa Kei watched Hasebe Haruka, who was tightly holding Sakura Airi's hand with one hand and covering her mouth with the other.
She lightly pressed the black collar around her own neck, then turned and walked toward the room's door.
Her bottom line was a little higher than Kushida Kikyo's because she had experienced school bullying before.
But only a little higher.
As long as they weren't genuinely resistant to Master, and had even a tiny bit of affection for him, she didn't mind helping them get used to Master's presence first and letting them completely fall for him afterward.
Compared to Hasebe Haruka and Sakura Airi, who were easy to bring in despite their good looks and attractive figures, she was more concerned about the people drinking in the hallway outside.
People found it difficult to ignore their surroundings and remain completely uninfluenced.
She was certain of that.
So, to create a friendly and harmonious atmosphere at Sobu High that could keep reinforcing itself positively, she would help Master win them over first.
Starting next week, they could go win over their own new coworkers.
Karuizawa Kei gently pulled open the half-closed door and leaned against it, quietly observing the mature women outside who were already drunk.
Especially Hanamori Kotomi, Mizuho Kazami, Shizumi Suzune, Ebihara Urara, and Hiratsuka Shizuka, who already belonged to their side.
With so many insiders, even if they couldn't take everyone at once, it would be easy to handle the more intoxicated Chabashira Sae, Tachibana Hina, Kisaragi Miyuki, and the others.
"Uh..."
Karuizawa Kei wasn't making much effort to hide the way she was staring.
Shizumi Suzune, Hanamori Kotomi, and the others drinking outside quickly noticed.
They had even heard the faint sounds coming from Kei's room and immediately understood why she had left Hachiman inside and come out to peek at them.
Around them, Chabashira Sae, Hoshinomiya Chie, Tachibana Hina, and the others had varying degrees of red faces and unfocused eyes from drinking.
Only they themselves were completely fine despite all the alcohol, thanks to the physical improvements Hachiman gave them every day.
If they made a move now, they could practically succeed without effort.
But they couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Ebihara Urara and Shizumi Suzune were already the most proactive among them.
One had been deceived in love, nearly dragged into a cult by her fiance, and left buried in debt before throwing herself into Hachiman's arms.
The other used the excuse of saving the world and gathering desire energy to serve Hachiman together with the goddess angel Maishima Yuri she had brought along, hand in hand, facing each other and advancing together.
Both of them had gradually developed feelings over time.
They were relatively conservative and traditional women.
Their only man was Hachiman.
They could accept anything he did to them.
But asking them to target coworkers and drag them in too was difficult.
In terms of pulling others in, Hiratsuka Shizuka was actually more enthusiastic.
Although so far there was only Miyamori Kasumi, who had not yet joined Sobu High and was deeply in debt, whom Hiratsuka had introduced to Hachiman to help her friend find a good future.
"What should I do..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Hanamori Kotomi and Mizuho Kazami, who were pretending not to notice her and skillfully avoiding her gaze, as well as Tachibana Hina, Chabashira Sae, and the others who were eating, drinking, chatting, and becoming increasingly slow-minded.
She was caught in deep conflict.
Girls like Karuizawa Kei were not as mature and steady as they were.
Teenage girls were very emotional.
Once they got carried away, they acted without thinking.
Wasn't that obvious from how many girls had suddenly rushed into Kei's room?
Who knew how many had already been inside before that?
Even knowing that she, Mafuyu Kirisu, Chabashira Sae, Hoshinomiya Chie, and so many others were outside drinking together, they still dared to hold a group sex party right in front of them.
Well...
Even though Hachiman had solved most of the troublesome student problems and made her life much easier,
Their excessive trust in him and willingness to listen to everything he said had become a different kind of problem.
At this point, she could only "sacrifice" some coworkers who weren't opposed to Hachiman, had favorable impressions of him, and were relatively open-minded.
She had no choice.
If she didn't sacrifice them, someone else would do it for her.
Not to mention the elf princess who always spoiled Hachiman and tried her best to satisfy all his preferences.
Even Karuizawa Kei and Kushida Kikyo, those magical girls, were probably beyond her ability to beat now.
If this dragged on, Chabashira Sae and the others would all get pulled in eventually.
Although Hachiman was trustworthy, and despite possessing unique abilities that many forces sought to curry favor with, he had never abused his power or forced anyone.
He treated everyone equally.
Anyone who wanted something had to come to him themselves.
But if the people around him insisted on delivering pure beautiful girls directly to him, Hachiman wouldn't refuse either.
Among those attending today's gathering were:
Kashima Risako, who had always buried herself in studying and knew nothing about relationships between men and women.
Takamine Ayako, who focused entirely on work and had never shown men a pleasant expression.
Matsubara Miria, whose strict and fiery personality led her to physically punish disobedient students.
There was even Tachibana Hina, who loved drinking just like she did.
Every coworker around her had her own issues, whether she didn't want a relationship or wanted one but had never had one.
But aside from that, they were all very beautiful.
Even their figures were excellent.
This wasn't just her imagination.
Ebihara Urara, Shizumi Suzune, Hanamori Kotomi, and Mizuho Kazami standing beside her were already proof.
If it really came down to it, they could go serve him again.
That should help prevent a total wipeout.
"Um... I'm going to the bathroom!"
Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze land on them as if she wanted them to step forward again, Mizuho Kazami, who was sitting beside Mafuyu Kirisu, immediately stood up and quickly walked into Mafuyu Kirisu's room, her full and toned legs wrapped in black stockings moving swiftly.
She had already drunk so much before the gathering even started that she was completely stuffed.
She had nearly reached the point of throwing up.
She wouldn't actively harm anyone, but nobody could force her to keep going either.
This time had nothing to do with her.
"I-I'll go to the bathroom too!"
Seeing this, the kind and considerate Hanamori Kotomi quickly put down her cup, gave everyone an awkward smile, and hurried into Hoshinomiya Chie's room.
