Mm... It felt like the gifts they brought were more than ordinary snacks and small presents, so there was no need to open them and look.
Although it felt a little strange that teachers were coming for a home visit and bringing expensive gifts for them.
Still, it was not like they were accepting bribes. It was probably just because Hachiman held a special place in these teachers' minds, which made them treat them more warmly.
"Ahem! By the way, has Hikigaya come back yet?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Kirisu Mafuyu, who had also taken out a small gift. Her cheeks grew warm. She casually bit through the biscuit in her mouth and swallowed it before lightly clearing her throat.
Normally, home visits involved bringing a small gift, such as pastries, candy, tea leaves, or coffee.
It was mainly a gesture of goodwill. The gift did not need to be expensive. If it was too valuable, it would only make things awkward.
But she had actually forgotten about it.
Mainly because she was only visiting Hachiman today and had no plans to visit anyone else.
Given her relationship with Hachiman, and since she knew there were no adults in his house, a proper home visit was impossible anyway.
She had never expected all the teachers coming with her to prepare gifts. Even Kirisu Mafuyu, who had always been dissatisfied with Hachiman, had brought one.
This was too embarrassing! What about her dignity as a senior teacher?
"Onii-chan hasn't come back yet, but he should be done soon. Teachers, please come in and sit for a while."
Komachi and Shion stopped exchanging pleasantries and carried the gifts inside while leading Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others into the house.
"Excuse us..."
After changing their high heels and sneakers into slippers, Mizuho Kagami, Kirisu Mafuyu, Hiratsuka Shizuka, Ebihara Urara, and the others followed Komachi and Shion from the entrance into the living room.
When they saw several girls with different appearances and figures already standing there, they could not help pausing.
"Let me introduce everyone."
"These are the teachers who came to visit Onii-chan today. This is Mizuho-sensei, Mafuyu-sensei, Urara-sensei, Suzune-sensei, and Shizuka-sensei."
"Starting from here, this is Mio, Maria, and Yukari. They're all Onii-chan's little sisters. Besides me and Shion, they've already transferred to Onii-chan's school, but they haven't officially started classes yet."
Meeting the strange looks from Mizuho Kagami and Kirisu Mafuyu, Komachi acted as if nothing was unusual and calmly introduced both sides.
Mm... Hachiman really did have a lot of girls around him.
Not only had the number of club members increased greatly, but the number of family members at home had also kept growing.
Still, she could not really say anything. Compared to the many groups outside, the number of little sisters at home was actually quite small.
"Hello, teachers~"
After Naruse Mio, Naruse Maria, and Yukari greeted them, they joined Shion in serving tea and setting out fresh snacks.
Hachiman had this many little sisters?
Was that really true? And why were they only now transferring to Sobu High? Why hadn't they attended together before?
Looking at the "little sisters," each prettier than the last, Kirisu Mafuyu exchanged looks with Ebihara Urara, Shizumi Suzune, and the others pretending not to know anything.
But since they were guests in someone else's home, they could only suppress their doubts.
Mizuho Kagami blushed slightly when she saw Komachi, Shion, and the other five sisters.
The gift she had prepared suddenly felt insufficient.
Though no one had told her Hachiman had so many sisters.
"Mizuho-onee-san and everyone else, please sit down and chat. Don't be shy."
Komachi happily pulled Mizuho Kagami onto the sofa.
Shion, Yukari, and the others also guided Mizuho Kagami, Ebihara Urara, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and the rest to seats around the room.
Komachi, Mizuho Kagami, Naruse Mio, Kirisu Mafuyu, Naruse Maria, Ebihara Urara, Yukari, Shizumi Suzune, Shion, and Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Whether intentionally or not, the five girls positioned themselves between the five teachers, each teacher sitting between two girls until the sofas formed a complete circle.
Mizuho Kagami and Kirisu Mafuyu felt that something was off.
But with Ebihara Urara, Shizumi Suzune, and the others silently coordinating with Shion, Naruse Maria, and the rest, the atmosphere remained surprisingly harmonious.
Even though Naruse Mio was a future Demon King, Naruse Maria was a Nightmare, and Shizumi Suzune was a goddess angel who hunted demons.
Right now, they all belonged to Hachiman.
There was no way they would fight, and no possibility of fighting.
The only chance for conflict was when competing during Service Club activities.
"Hm?"
Sitting between Mizuho Kagami and Kirisu Mafuyu, Naruse Mio noticed that the outline under Kirisu Mafuyu's tracksuit looked a little unnatural and took a closer look.
'This Mafuyu-sensei...'
'The clothes underneath look like Master's maid outfit.'
'Has the maid outfit's length and thickness been reduced, with a tracksuit added on top?'
'Still, the concentration of Master's scent on Mafuyu-sensei isn't very strong.'
'Does that mean she has not yet undergone Master's awakening ceremony and truly become a magical girl?'
"Um... Mio, are Hikigaya-kun's parents really not home?"
Kirisu Mafuyu had no idea she had already been seen through.
After waiting for quite a while without seeing any older family members appear, and without even seeing Hachiman, she finally could not help asking.
"Yes. Onii-chan is the head of the household now. He's our guardian."
Naruse Mio nodded awkwardly.
Actually, she had never met Master's parents either.
Before she joined the Hikigaya family, Master's parents had already left to travel.
Although she and Maria acknowledged Master rather than Master's parents, and whether his parents knew about her existence made no difference, they could not truly ignore them either.
They still had to think about what to do in the future.
Seeing that Naruse Mio seemed sincere, Kirisu Mafuyu immediately developed a headache.
So Hachiman really had not lied to her.
Then what was she supposed to do?
She could not hit him or scold him. She could not even contact his parents.
Was she supposed to let him keep doing whatever he wanted at school?
"Club activities should be ending soon. Onii-chan will probably be back shortly. Teachers, stay and have dinner with us."
Naruse Maria blinked and suggested that everyone stay for dinner, looking completely harmless.
"No, thank you. We have a gathering later. Since we've confirmed that Hikigaya's parents aren't home, and we've already told you about his behavior at school, it's about time for us to leave."
"There are still several students living nearby. While there's still time, we'll visit them before going."
Kirisu Mafuyu took a deep breath and stood up from the sofa.
She had no intention of staying here any longer.
Just as she was about to call Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others to leave, Naruse Mio and Naruse Maria pressed her back down and pulled her onto the sofa again.
"Mafuyu-sensei, stay and eat before you go."
"That's right. Have dinner first. Gabriel-onee-san from next door will be coming over soon too, so you don't need to visit them separately."
Hearing the reason Naruse Mio and Naruse Maria gave for stopping them, both Kirisu Mafuyu and Mizuho Kagami were surprised.
"The students next door are coming too?"
"You even eat together?"
Before they could think about what that meant, the sound of the front door opening and lively voices came from the entrance.
Three girls walked in carrying bags full of ingredients.
One had silky golden hair, a small frame, and skin so fair it seemed to glow, giving her a pure, angelic feeling.
One had short purple hair with a hairpin in her bangs, a delicate face, and a slim figure that made her look gentle and approachable.
One had long silver-white hair, a noble and elegant air, a faint smile on her lips, and a figure fuller than the other two combined.
Looking at Gabriel, Vignette, and Raphiel opening the door with their own key and carrying bags of groceries, then looking at how the Hikigaya house was filled with girls, Kirisu Mafuyu and Mizuho Kagami both thought of the same disciplinary committee term.
'Improper relationships?'
'Has Hachiman been bringing girls home and having them stay overnight while his parents are away?'
"So many teachers came for a home visit? Unfortunately, Hachiman's parents aren't home, so we'll have to help entertain everyone."
Raphiel, who had officially joined the Hikigaya family today and eaten breakfast there before school, walked in front and smiled at the group of young female teachers gathered in the living room.
Her gaze lingered briefly on Shizumi Suzune.
She cared even more about Hachiman than Gabriel and Vignette did and already knew all about the people around him.
Still, seeing Shizumi Suzune, a goddess angel from the Divine Realm, blending in so naturally among them surprised her.
She knew that Suzune had previously asked Hachiman for help while gathering desire energy.
But even if it was to become stronger and eliminate evil forces to save the world, there was no need to accompany a group of young teachers to Hachiman's house.
Was it love at first sight or feelings that developed over time?
Even Majima Yuri, whom Shizumi Suzune taught, seemed the same. She had been won over by Hachiman so easily.
'Goddess angels has really fallen...'
"Um... Teachers, please keep chatting. We'll go make dinner."
"Y-Yeah! Little Gab and I will start cooking! Take your time talking!"
Unlike the natural and composed Raphiel, Gabriel and Vignette, who were usually seen by teachers as caring and polite honor students, felt somewhat awkward seeing so many teachers sitting in the living room.
After greeting them with complicated expressions, they hurried into the kitchen.
They knew all about Ebihara Urara, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and Shizumi Suzune's relationship with Hachiman.
They even knew that Mizuho Kagami had worn the semi-transparent maid outfit before, and that Kirisu Mafuyu was currently wearing a maid outfit beneath her long-sleeved tracksuit that she could not remove herself.
They also knew that Hachiman would soon finish handling things at Sobu High and come home.
If they did not quickly hide in the kitchen, there was a good chance Hachiman would pull them into his arms and act affectionately with them right in front of the teachers.
The problem was that they had no idea how to stop him anymore.
"Tenma-san..."
"Tsukinose-san..."
Watching Gabriel and Vignette enter the kitchen so skillfully despite looking flustered, not only Mizuho Kagami and Kirisu Mafuyu but even Hiratsuka Shizuka were left speechless.
Just how many girls had Hikigaya gotten involved with?
Why did they all keep ending up at his house and in his bed?
However, Gabriel, Vignette, and Raphiel were only the beginning.
"Hachiman isn't back yet? Then teachers, stay for dinner before you leave. He should be home soon."
"If it gets too late, we still have extra beds in our rooms. You can stay the night here. Tomorrow's a holiday anyway."
"Huh? The teachers came too? Is there a new Service Club game tonight?"
"The teachers have a gathering tonight, Lala. If you want to play, I'll tell the president and arrange something next time."
As it grew later, the girls who often stayed at the Hikigaya house appeared one after another.
Not only did the Kaede and Suzu sisters and Rurikawa Tsubaki return after finishing student council work, but even Mermaid Princess Meroune and Mermaid Diva Elio came over after finishing their idol work.
When Lala returned together with Iris and the others, she immediately brightened upon seeing Kirisu Mafuyu, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and the rest, thinking tonight's Service Club activity was some kind of teacher-and-student roleplay game.
But Iris, who knew the teachers' schedules very well, quickly laughed and dismissed the idea.
Many new teachers would be joining Sobu High next week.
The current teachers probably sensed it already. Even teachers who originally had no plans to attend the gathering had decided to join and strengthen their connections, forming their own groups.
Of course, tonight would not work.
But there was the cosplay convention this weekend.
Having Hiratsuka Shizuka, Kirisu Mafuyu, Ebihara Urara, and the others, who were normally teachers, play students sounded like a good idea.
As for the teacher role, naturally the president would play it.
Whenever she encountered a disobedient student, she could whip them hard with a whip.
"Oh! Then next time. I'll go check on Momo and Nana."
Lala had only mentioned it casually and was not particularly concerned about tonight's theme.
She nodded and ran barefoot upstairs.
While everyone had been at school, Momo and Nana had woken up and stayed at the Hikigaya house rather than running away.
But they had not come downstairs either. They had gone directly into the space Lala had prepared for them and started arranging their rooms.
She wanted to check on them.
And ask how they felt about Hachiman.
Momo and Nana had been on Earth for so long that, logically, their mother should have finished her work and arrived by now.
But she still had not appeared.
There was a good chance she was secretly observing Hachiman, just as Momo and Nana had done before.
Still, even if her mother did not approve of her being with Hachiman, she did not care.
Hachiman was the person she liked.
That had nothing to do with her mother.
And if her mother worried that she could not inherit the throne, then her mother could simply have another child!
"..."
Watching the excited Lala run upstairs, her long pink hair and tail swaying behind her, Mizuho Kagami, Kirisu Mafuyu, and Hiratsuka Shizuka looked away and turned toward the increasingly crowded living room.
They looked at one another and fell silent for a long time.
Putting aside the sisters, whether they were biological or not, why were there so many girls living together?
And where did everyone sleep at night?
From the outside, the Hikigaya house looked like an ordinary detached home.
No matter how efficiently they used the space, even with the parents usually absent, several people would probably have to share each room.
What they did not know was that so many people rarely gathered for meals at the Hikigaya house.
Because tomorrow was the weekend and there were extra activities, more people had gathered than usual.
In reality, dinner at the Hikigaya house was mostly symbolic.
People could eat whatever they wanted.
What everyone really enjoyed was the crowded feeling.
If they genuinely wanted to eat, it was better to do so at the Service Club.
There was much more space there.
They could sit in the central living room, watch "movies," drink tea, and chat.
Or lie around the family dining room table and offer Hachiman a sweet and soft feast.
"The president isn't back yet. Let's keep chatting a little longer."
As the current "main wife" of the household, Iris naturally took charge of the group home visit by the young female teachers.
Her eyes swept across Kirisu Mafuyu, Hiratsuka Shizuka, and the others before she smiled.
"Actually, we understand that the president misses a lot of classes."
"But we hope you can understand too. The president is just very busy. He's not skipping class on purpose."
"If you really want the president to study properly, you can ask him to make time to visit the student guidance office and receive your personal guidance."
