He thought he could hold out here until the end, but unexpectedly, a newcomer showed up in the middle of the night.
Yeah, Kita was sure that this woman she hadn't seen in the club before was a newcomer.
Because the way she entered, falling half-empty into the big bath, was usually how newcomers did it their first time.
Not having to undress yourself and just taking a bath was pretty nice, but falling into the big bath every time you entered the club was way too much trouble for people who teleported in and out often.
Everyone chose to set their teleport spot to their personal room in the club, then during lunch break or after classes in the afternoon, they'd first teleport to their personal room to drop off some stuff or change clothes, then go to the big living room to eat, drink, and have fun.
"She doesn't seem to be from our Sobu High, and, she probably isn't a student."
Kitagawa Marin let out a long sigh, her eyes wide open as she stared at the glamorous, full-bodied figure who had looked around the room, spotted them, and was now slowly swimming toward them.
Even though she didn't know her, she could tell directly from this mature woman's aura and face that she wasn't young.
Yeah... she could only tell she wasn't young, not whether she was human.
A several-hundred-year-old elf big sister looked only a few years older than them, let alone the other demihumans.
"Ryou, do you know her?"
Gotou Hitori, who was in the best condition, immediately turned her head to look at Yamada Ryou, who was lying by the edge of the bath gasping for breath, her skin completely red.
"I don't know her."
Yamada Ryou, sprawled out like a starfish lying on her back in the small, hot, damp pool, turned her head and glanced at Yukinoshita Kiyuki, then directly denied it.
She didn't dare stay in the water any longer, afraid she'd sink to the bottom and get eliminated like those rich girls. She desperately needed to rest right now. Why did Hitori have to ask her about this kind of thing?
Earlier, there were quite a few of the wives' group. She only knew one person, Nishikino Mizuki, well, because the Yamada family and the Nisikino family were both in the medical industry.
However, Yamada Ryou stared for a moment, then suddenly froze.
"Hitori, don't you think... she looks a bit like the Yukinoshita sisters? She might be their mother."
Although the newcomer's aura was a bit different from Vice President Yukinoshita Haruno, her wet, thick, sleek black hair was now stuck to her shoulders, making her look very similar to Yukinoshita Yukino.
Yeah... Yukinoshita Haruno's impressive figure, Yukinoshita Yukino's jet-black hair, plus a hint of unsmiling dignity.
"The vice president's mom?"
Upon hearing that the woman was actually the mother of the Yukinoshita sisters, Gotou Hitori, who was as exhausted as Yamada Ryou and lying by the shore, looked up in shock at the full-bodied figure in the bath.
'Leticia's mom, Tsukishiro Kanade's mom, Yukinoshita Yukino's mom... why are everyone's moms appearing in the club one after another?'
'Has the service war between humans and demihumans gotten so intense it needs moms to fight?'
Ijichi Nijika was also very shocked. Elves and vampires were demihumans.
Iris, Aegis, Lumilia, and Princess Nina who hadn't appeared yet were all elf princesses. Given the elves' short breeding period, even if the Elf Queen wanted to have more children, she couldn't. So many elf princesses naturally couldn't all be born from the Elf Queen herself.
Every talented elf princess belonging to the High Elves was born from the Elf Mother Tree. It was only because the Elf Mother Tree was withering that they came to this world seeking Hachiman's powerful aid.
If you really wanted to nitpick, Iris and Leticia could be called sisters, and you could even call Leticia's mother, Lumaria, sister too.
It's just that elves' family relationships aren't quite the same as humans' and can't be understood by human concepts. Ijichi Nijika didn't understand, but she respected it.
But Yukinoshita Yukino and the others were human, right?
If the purpose of this woman showing up late at night in the Service Club really was what they guessed, then wouldn't her own big sister really end up like Ryou, being forced to join the club.
Seeing that Yukinoshita Kiyuki was wearing a pink empathy bracelet and already sensing the atmosphere of internal competition, Ijichi Nijika immediately realized that her big sister, Ijichi Seika, currently sleeping soundly at home hugging a plushie, had probably already had her fate sealed.
As long as she herself didn't leave the Service Club, her big sister would sooner or later be brought into the Service Club by her or people around her, to become a magical girl together.
However, now wasn't the time to think about her own big sister's future happiness.
Ijichi Nijika looked at the people beside her, one by one, they were either completely collapsed or using the hot water at the edge of the bath to distract themselves. She could only take a deep breath and face Yukinoshita Kiyuki alone, who had already swum up to her directly.
"Hello, I'm Ijichi Nijika. Excuse me, are you Yukino-san's mother?"
"Ijichi-san? That's right, I'm Yukinoshita Kiyuki, Haruno and Yukino's mother."
Yukinoshita Kiyuki swam up to Ijichi Nijika, wiped the water droplets from her face and chin, looked at Ijichi Nijika's cute face, and naturally showed a gentle smile.
"I've heard Ijichi-san mentioned by Yukino and the others. You seem even more considerate and gentle than they said. If you don't mind, Ijichi-san, you can call me Aunt Kiyuki."
Yukino naturally wouldn't talk to her about the band Kessoku Band, but Haruno, as the club's vice president, had told her about the small groups within the club.
Although the Service Club's current number of members wasn't small, it was easy to remember if divided by small groups.
Ijichi Nijika's small group was the rock band Kessoku Band. Maybe she could get closer by sponsoring their band.
There were rarely direct financial relationships between Service Club members, and the club didn't directly give money to each member. It quite felt like people gathered because of a shared hobby, only, this hobby of the Service Club members was a bit special.
Simply sponsoring them certainly wouldn't make them side with the Yukinoshita family, but it could at least build a relationship.
The Rurikawa family's recent rapid development was for the same reason.
Even though the Rurikawa family didn't sell Service Club slots, and many family conglomerates couldn't get involved with the Service Club, those family conglomerates also didn't want to offend the Rurikawa family. Each adding a bit of resources and giving up a bit of profit, the Rurikawa family ate very well.
"Uh... Aunt Kiyuki, since that's the case, just call me Nijika. My friends here are all my good friends, also Sobu High students. This is Yamada Ryou, this is Gotou Hitori,..."
When Ijichi Nijika heard Yukinoshita Kiyuki say that Yukinoshita Yukino and the others had praised her privately, her expression became a bit complicated, but she still maintained a smile on her face as she introduced Yamada Ryou, Kita Ikuyo, Yumiko Miura, and the others who were lying limp nearby.
"You can just call them by their first names too, that's what everyone calls them."
"Oh, of course, for Kita, just call her Kita, okay? She doesn't really like people using her first name."
Although normally, relationships aren't that close and people only call each other by their family names, since there are so many small groups in the club, and there are many sisters with the same last name, calling by first names is actually more convenient.
Forget family names, sometimes even first names are shared, like Kirishima Touka and Tohsaka Touka.
Two Toukas, one junior and one older, one demihuman and one human and one university student.
But the two haven't crossed paths yet. The people they each know also haven't encountered a situation where they need to call both at the same time, so they don't need to worry about how to distinguish the two Toukas.
"Ryou, Kita, Hitori, Marin, Yumiko... hello. By the way, have you seen Yukino and Haruno?"
Yukinoshita Kiyuki blinked in confusion. Although she found it a bit strange that Kita Ikuyo didn't like people calling her by her first name, she didn't pry further. After matching faces to names one by one, she tentatively asked Ijichi Nijika about her two daughters.
Building a relationship with Ijichi Nijika was for later; the top priority was finding her two daughters and finding out exactly what had happened tonight.
Had Haruno and Yukino done something? So many families that originally didn't want to ally with her had suddenly come to the Yukinoshita family late at night.
"Well... actually, Aunt Kiyuki, your daughters... are right now in the family restaurant..."
Looking at Yukinoshita Kiyuki who seemed unaware of the truth about the club's late-night activities, Ijichi Nijika hesitated, her face extremely flushed. She slowly raised her finger, pointed at the ceiling, and mumbled quietly.
Yukinoshita Haruno was the vice president. Could it be she hadn't revealed to Aunt Kiyuki what everyone specifically did at night?
Although she could understand the shyness and awkwardness of revealing something like this to family. Her own sister also didn't know how far she had progressed with Hachiman, or that she even played with Ryou and the others until dawn before teleporting home, then acted normal coming out of her room to make breakfast for her sister.
But... Aunt Kiyuki already had permission to enter the club. How could she not know either?
Yeah... this point was a lot like Yukinoshita Yukino's character.
"Haruno and Yukino are both in the family restaurant?"
Yukinoshita Kiyuki stared blankly at Ijichi Nijika, whose expression was awkward and subtle, followed Ijichi Nijika's pointing finger, and looked up at the ceiling. Only then did she notice the clue she had missed.
The ceiling of this big bath was projecting incredibly clear images.
At the center of the image was a long table with many delicious-looking foods.
Hachiman was resting his head on the snowy-white lap of a big sister with long straight black hair. Two beautiful girls, one with short black hair and the other with twin black ponytails, looking similar, were lying by his side, feeding him delicious fruits and drinks bite by bite.
Seeing this scene, Yukinoshita Kiyuki's pretty face tightened, her pupils shaking.
She recognized them immediately. The big sister with long straight black hair was Tohsaka Touka. The two beautiful sisters were Tohsaka Rin and Tohsaka Sakura.
The Tohsaka family and the Yukinoshita family had known each other for many years, and she was so close with Tohsaka Aoi. How could she not recognize the three Tohsaka daughters?
In the eyes of the older sisters among the sister generation like Haruno and Touka, each other's younger sisters were all just "little sisters," no different from their own.
As far as Yukinoshita Kiyuki was concerned, Rin and the others were kind of like goddaughters too.
However, at this moment, Yukinoshita Kiyuki couldn't worry about her friend Tohsaka Aoi or her goddaughters Tohsaka Rin and the others.
Because the black-haired beauties at the table right now weren't just the three Tohsaka daughters.
Her own two Yukinoshita daughters were also there.
Except the two Yukinoshita sisters were different from the three Tohsaka sisters currently feeding Hachiman meat and milk.
The sisters Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Yukino had their hands tightly clasped together, fingers interlaced, sitting face to face.
"Rin~ Rinrinrin~"
"Yukino, relax a bit. Don't be too nervous, it'll make you very tired."
"Your big sister Haruno's magical girl awakening ceremony is almost over. After she's done, you can switch out and rest too."
"Mm... Shoko, Honami, and the others will take over. Then you can learn properly. Next time it'll be your turn to become a magical girl."
Service Club, Family Restaurant. Beside one of the many tables, at a certain table.
Rurikawa Tsubaki looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, her beautiful, jet-black hair sliding down over her white, rounded shoulders. A few strands of hair were caught in Hachiman's hand, gently rubbing between his fingers. Standing next to Yukinoshita Yukino, she bent slightly at the waist and whispered guidance into Yukinoshita Yukino's delicate, white ear, her pink, glossy lips close.
It was her first time doing this kind of ad-hoc guidance, and she hadn't specifically studied the theory. She could only watch Yukinoshita Yukino while reminding her of the key points on the side, and also try to calm her down a bit.
Actually, she didn't think there was much that needed guidance. Apart from having to overcome her sense of shame, she didn't need to worry about anything else. Just follow her own heart.
However, Rurikawa Tsubaki, used to being pushed forward by Kaede and Shion, forgot how nervous she had been at the beginning herself.
Even if Tsubaki's first time might have been even more nervous than Yukinoshita Yukino's, since back then she was doing it behind her best friend Kaede's back, right now she couldn't empathize with Yukinoshita Yukino.
'Relax, relax... relax your legs... relax all your muscles...'
'The problem is, how am I supposed to relax in this situation?'
Yukinoshita Yukino, tightly k!ssing Hachiman, heard Tsubaki's reassurance and groaned inwardly, but her whole body was so tense she didn't dare speak, trying desperately to suppress the strange feeling coming from Hachiman's unrestrained k!ssing.
Theoretical experience and practical experience were ultimately separated by a thick barrier. Before truly breaking through that barrier, no amount of theory was just empty talk.
What's more, Yukinoshita Yukino's usual miscellaneous reading didn't include this kind of specialized knowledge. Not only did she lack theoretical experience, but now she was also wearing an empathy bracelet that made her feel like she was there in person.
On one side, her sister was being deeply k!ssed by Hachiman. On the other side, she was being lightly k!ssed by Hachiman.
Illusion and reality, two indistinguishable feelings intertwined, she was almost unable to tell whether it was her sister or herself anymore.
Yukinoshita Yukino stared blankly at Yukinoshita Haruno sitting across from her, watching her sister try her best to smile at her to show she was okay but unaware of how distorted her own expression was. She couldn't help but part her pink lips slightly.
No wonder so many girls, not just in the Service Club but also in the Service Club, kept such close relationships with Hachiman.
This indescribable feeling would indeed encourage those demihumans who originally wanted to receive assistance from Hachiman to want even more assistance.
If she hadn't asked Tsubaki to isolate the sound from the beginning, her voice would probably have spread throughout the entire family restaurant by now.
If she didn't know that she and Hachiman didn't have much contact or feelings, she would almost think she really liked Hachiman.
But this was good. She didn't have to worry about acting skills.
Originally, she had worried that having zero experience and temporarily learning techniques from Tsubaki might look insincere, greatly reducing the effect of the dedication she had finally mustered the courage for.
But now... it seemed things were going to reverse. She had to try hard to control herself so that others wouldn't think she was so easily handled by Hachiman.
Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino's body tense up and then briefly zone out, seemingly in a daze, Tsubaki quickly poured some elf spring water into Yukino's trembling, pink little mouth.
"Yukino, Haruno, hang in there a bit longer! The awakening ceremony will be over soon!"
Seeing Yukino's unfocused eyes gradually return to normal, though her cheeks were even redder and she avoided Tsubaki's gaze shyly, Tsubaki finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. She also poured some freshly collected elf spring water into Haruno's mouth, who was opposite Yukino, their fingers interlaced.
Given the recent increase in new demihumans, many of whom needed a large amount of awakening mana to awaken their bloodlines and increase their strength, the amount of elf spring water accumulated each night wouldn't be as much as before. Instead, quite a bit of the previous stockpile was being used.
However, for those who can personally participate in Service Club activities, there's no need to worry about such details. Freshly collected seamen tastes better.
As long as you become a magical girl, use it internally and externally, train day and night, she believes even the frail Yukinoshita Yukino can become a reliable support. Then, when she herself can't hold out, she could definitely get Yukino to help.
Tsubaki looked at the pair of sisters, Yukinoshita Yukino and Yukinoshita Haruno, full of anticipation for how they would perform in bed in the future.
Not just Yukino, but Haruno, and Tohsaka Touka too. They were all from the human faction, and they weren't friends or twins or anything. They wouldn't threaten Kaede and Suzu. Kaede should approve of bringing them in.
Anyway, the Rurikawa family had already restored its glory, even becoming far stronger than before. And now, because of Hachiman, there was more incoming resources than she alone could handle. It was good to let Yukino, Haruno, and Touka share some of it.
Actually, Honami's family, the Ichinose family, was even more prosperous, but Honami wasn't like Haruno or Touka. Honami wanted Hachiman more and was willing to drag so many sisters into it just so Hachiman would spoil her more. She didn't care about family interests.
"Does otou-sama like it~"
Tohsaka Sakura looked at Hachiman, whose eyes were covered by Tohsaka Touka and whose mouth was currently blocked by Yukinoshita Yukino, making it inconvenient to talk. She lay beside him, leaning close to his ear, and murmured softly.
"For Haruno's sake, Yukino should be willing to do anything, right~"
