Chapter 161: Caught By the Disciplinary Committee

"C-can we wait a bit before going...?", Gotou Hitori peeked out from behind Sakurai Shino and looked at Gabriel and Yukinoshita Yukino who were about to go find Hachiman, pleading softly.

She didn't know that Gabriel had already sneakily glanced at the progress over there. Simply speaking from personal experience, she had once witnessed an entire class period where only Iris and the others, along with Sakurai Shino, were tired. Hachiman, who hadn't rested at all, didn't show a trace of exhaustion.

Later she was let go and didn't know the specific situation, but it must have lasted for a long time, right?

Now it had only been just over two hours, and there were so many of them like Iris and the others, how could it possibly be over?

"Don't worry, they've already finished…", Gabriel looked at the socially anxious Gotou Hitori, who was actually refusing to go find Hachiman. She instantly understood that Gotou Hitori, despite her social anxiety, had a deep relationship with Hachiman.

But at this moment, she didn't have the mood to investigate how many girls Hachiman had gotten involved with after his descent into depravity.

She couldn't understand why Iris and the others seemed poisoned, normally so upright and elegant, yet turned so obsessed with Hachiman in those situations. However, she knew she had to take people there and leave the girls' swim club as soon as possible to avoid Iris, Elliot, and the others continuing again after their rest.

If it wasn't for knowing they each had their own reasons, she'd suspect they were succubi in disguise.

"Uuuh…", Gotou Hitori, who had no voice or say, could only tremble and follow behind Gabriel, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Sakurai Shino to go find Hachiman.

She was really worried that after going over, her friendly relationship with Hachiman would change for the worse.

But here, the only person she was familiar with was Sakurai Shino, who had also received guidance from Hachiman in the student guidance room.

She absolutely didn't dare stay alone in a swimming pool full of strangers, even if the others were all girls, she still didn't dare.

———

Gotou Hitori kept swallowing nervously, trembling and cautiously following behind Sakurai Shino as they headed to the locker room.

She had personal experience. If that kind of thing really happened, the seemingly elegant and noble elf princess Iris wouldn't hesitate to pull her to sit properly on the floor.

But she didn't have the courage to leave Sakurai Shino's side, so she could only follow and go get sacrificed together.

However, what made Gotou Hitori let out a huge sigh of relief was that when they arrived at the locker room, they didn't see any face-reddening awkward scenes.

Inside the locker room were just Elliot, Elusi, Ayla, Iris, and Aegis changing clothes.

Ursula and Hachiman, whom they saw earlier, were not here.

"Present Hikigaya isn't with you here?", Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Iris and the others in slight surprise.

"This is the locker room, of course the president isn't here. He changed clothes in the restroom and went outside to wait for us," Iris, sitting on the long bench, pulled her delicate and soft white over-knee socks onto her slender long legs, slipped her dainty feet into her shoes, stood up, pressed her legs together, lightly hopped, and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and Gabriel with a sweet and adorable smile as she explained.

If it weren't for Gabriel noticing that not only Iris and Aegis, but even Elliot and the three mermaid idols were covered in Hachiman's scent, she definitely wouldn't have suspected that Iris and the others had done something here with him just now.

But while Iris and the others could use cleaning magic to eliminate traces and smells in the locker room, they couldn't erase the scent on themselves.

After all, the reason they sought Hachiman's assistance was precisely for that incredibly rich vitality and energy from his body, how could they possibly remove those marks just to avoid Gabriel's suspicion?

Whether it was Iris and Aegis, who were in their breeding period, or Elliot, Elusi, and Ayla, who were trying to prevent their transition periods, none of them would do that.

"Mm, then let's change clothes and leave too. Today's club activity lasted long enough," Yukinoshita Yukino was momentarily stunned. Not knowing the detailed situation of the service club, she quickly realized she had been misled by the naive classmate's words. Hachiman definitely wouldn't be in the locker room, how could a boy chat with Uenohara Ayano in the girls' locker room?

However, judging from the emotional expressions on the faces of Iris, Elliot, and Uenohara Ayano, Hachiman seemed to have guided them well, completing the support task once again by himself.

'Next time, I probably won't need to come help anymore?'

She really didn't want to squeeze into the pool with so many people to swim.

Anyway, Hachiman could handle it on his own, and didn't need her advice. In that case, she might as well stay in the service club and wait for potential clients to come for help.

"...", Gabriel glanced at the still slightly flushed faces of Aegis and Elliot, then looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, who didn't notice anything, and tactfully said nothing.

Though she didn't know how to say it either, what if speaking up piqued Yukinoshita's curiosity and she stepped into this forbidden abyss, joining Iris and the others? Then the service club would be left with her fighting alone.

Though she hadn't yet seen everyone together in action, it was obvious that Sakurai Shino and Gotou Hitori also carried traces of Hachiman's scent, just lighter, not as deep.

In the entire service club, besides her, only Yukinoshita Yukino remained pure and dignified.

"Ayano-san, are you going to continue training later?", Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino wasn't suspicious, Gabriel didn't dare speak up, Sakurai Shino and Gotou Hitori were quietly changing into their school uniforms, Iris smiled and looked toward Uenohara Ayano, who hadn't changed yet and was still in her competitive swimsuit.

"I-I probably won't continue training today, but I need to go tell the president. You all can just leave later," Seeing that Iris was asking her, Uenohara Ayano said softly with a bit of embarrassment.

She hadn't expected such a thing to happen with Hikigaya. Thinking back on it now felt like a dream.

Although, aside from the beginning, both the process and result were quite good, now she felt the long-built-up pressure had vanished, and her whole body felt light.

Even though she experienced Hachiman's guidance today and club time was nearly over, she still couldn't leave early. Wouldn't that make it obvious to the president that she and Hikigaya had reached that kind of relationship?

What if the president asked Hikigaya to guide other people too? She still wanted to improve her grades a bit more.

Hayase had received guidance for a long while before seeing such improvement. Her grades were terrible and unstable, she definitely needed double the time.

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Ayano-san," Seeing that Uenohara Ayano didn't have any other intentions, Iris smiled and watched her leave.

Uenohara Ayano just needed to release pressure and improve her grades, unlike them who needed to get pregnant. So Ayano's share was shared among them.

Anyway, as long as the life energy was absorbed, it didn't matter how. With Ayano's constitution strengthened a bit, her training results would also improve.

But, it was time to inform some suitable candidates from the clan to come over.

Even if the time was too short to carefully select, just one or two coming first would be fine. So many people in the girls' swim club needed the president's assistance, it shouldn't go to waste.

Besides herself and Aegis, as well as Elliot and the others, the other people also needed help from elf girls, right?

Gotou Hitori noticed Iris's gaze land on her. She, who was changing clothes, instinctively shrank back a bit.

But now even Sakurai Shino was changing, there was no way to escape in the locker room.

"Bocchi-chan, no need to be nervous. Your figure is actually quite nice. But your outfit somewhat affects your appearance. I'll help you a bit when there's time," Iris smiled slightly, no longer staring at Gotou Hitori.

In most people's eyes, Gotou Hitori was a hunchbacked, shy, and introverted girl.

But she knew clearly that beneath the long bangs, Hitori's face was beautiful, and under her loose clothes was an incredibly hot and seductive figure. Just that Hitori herself unknowingly hid it all.

With Hitori's personality, she'd be very easy to accept her three-win assistance plan.

Originally, her first candidate for the three-win plan was Gabriel, but Gabriel had refused, so she had to find someone else.

Gotou Hitori, Sakurai Shino, Hayase Saki, Ichinose Ayano, Yuina, Rin, Minami, Asougi Shion, Rurikawa Tsubaki...

Actually, there were quite a few people who could be included in the plan. What was lacking now were elf girls to help them receive the president's support. She didn't know how many elves the Elf Forest would send over.

The elf race's breeding period was short and the interval between periods was long, but they lived long lives. There should be many available to come. She really wasn't sure who might be sent.

"Uuuh…", Gotou Hitori didn't know that Iris wanted to help her so she wouldn't get pregnant and have to drop out.

She only felt that she'd been targeted by Iris, and something terrible was waiting for her.

But she didn't dare say anything. She was just a normal person, from an ordinary family, and Iris was an elf princess. Even if she told her mom about her bad feelings, her mom couldn't do anything.

Sakurai Shino, who had already received education from Hachiman alongside Hayase Saki, Miki, and Ichinose Ayano, had no reaction to Iris's gaze. She calmly finished changing clothes and silently waited for Gotou Hitori.

Once Gotou Hitori was done, Sakurai Shino joined everyone in going to find Hachiman.

In order to avoid Yukinoshita Yukino questioning why he was in the girls' locker room, Hachiman had come out early and was waiting outside the girls' swim club.

But he wasn't idle. While waiting for Iris and the others to come out, he was messaging Yuina and the others to ask about their relationship with Tachibana Mikari.

Although it was nice to have handled Uenohara Ayano today, the girls' swim club's task was far from finished.

Aside from Uenohara Ayano, there were still the remaining Tsukahara Hibiki, Tachibana Mikari, Orizuka Momoka, and even Nanasaki Ai and Rihoko Sakurai. Hhe had only glimpsed their athletic figures in the pool today and hadn't even gotten close.

Still, even if this support would take time, it was way better than the endless task of supporting Iris and the others.

Iris and the others were receiving his assistance almost daily, but it still seemed far from enough, there was no sign of successful support.

Fortunately, he had already obtained the "Daily Advancement" ability earlier, getting stronger each day. Otherwise, he really couldn't withstand this kind of torment.

"What are you doing outside the indoor pool? Don't you know this is the area used by the girls' swim club, and boys are not allowed to approach," Just as Hachiman was chatting with Yuina and the other gyaru about Tachibana Mikari's information, he suddenly heard a stern scolding beside his ear.

Startled, he looked up and saw two straight black-haired girls wearing disciplinary committee armbands standing in front of him.

"Usui-san, Kotegawa-san? Why are you here?"

Standing in front of him were his acquaintances. The tall, dignified, pure straight black-haired disciplinary committee members, Usui Makoto and Kotegawa Yui.

Ahem, the real acquaintance was actually Usui Makoto, who was Kaede's good friend. Kotegawa Yui was his classmate sitting near the front, but they hadn't exchanged more than ten sentences.

"Today Kotegawa and I are patrolling the school together," Usui Makoto smiled as she explained.

"Although I know you're not that kind of person, to avoid misunderstanding, can you open your phone gallery and let me take a look?", As she spoke, Usui Makoto winked at Hachiman and glanced at Kotegawa Yui beside her.

She believed that Hikigaya, whom both Kaede and Suzu liked, couldn't possibly be peeking at the girls' swim club. If he wanted to peek, he'd do so at the service club with all those super pretty girls.

But Kotegawa Yui wouldn't trust him so easily.

"Of course, Usui-san, go ahead and check," Hachiman glanced at the emotionless Kotegawa Yui beside him, who stared dead at him as if ready to snatch the phone if he tried to delete any evidence. He smiled and directly handed the phone to Usui Makoto.

There was nothing unsightly on his phone. Even if there were, he believed Usui Makoto would be tactful and not look.

Although he didn't have to let her check, based on what he knew of Kotegawa Yui, not letting her check now would just make her keep watching him and try to catch him violating the rules.

Kotegawa Yui was strict and inflexible, completely lacking in adaptability. She was the most disliked disciplinary committee member in the entire Sobu High.

They had to arrive early to inspect appearance and search for contraband, maintain order in class, and patrol after school to prevent bullying during club time.

Most committee members turned a blind eye if classmates privately broke minor rules, but not Kotegawa Yui. She strictly recorded all infractions, showing no mercy.

Though she caught many would-be peepers and even stopped active bullying, she also nabbed plenty of couples being slightly too affectionate, causing many complaints.

But Kotegawa Yui didn't care at all and kept doing things her way.

Of course, when it came to discipline, Usui Makoto wasn't far behind either.

The two looked like pure, composed straight black-haired girls, but in reality were meticulous and extremely serious.

Still, he'd never had any issues with Usui Makoto. Even when he came to school with a messy tie and was stopped at the gate, she would patiently fix it for him since he was Kaede's childhood friend.

"No problem, it was our misunderstanding. Sorry, Hikigaya-kun," Usui Makoto quickly returned the phone and smiled as she apologized.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you, Hikigaya-san. If you want to swim, please use the outdoor pool. The indoor pool is for the girls' swim club," Kotegawa Yui didn't say much either. She formally apologized to Hikigaya and also reminded him not to do anything that could be misunderstood.

She didn't check his phone but trusted Usui Makoto. After all, it was Usui who had originally reminded her to keep an eye on Hachiman. She definitely wouldn't cover for him.

"Alright, I'm just waiting for someone today," Hachiman agreed readily, without intending to explain the matter of being the manager of the girls' competitive swimming club. If he said it, probably when he went to the girls' competitive swimming club tomorrow, he'd have one more disciplinary committee member as an assistant.

Kotegawa Yui was often disliked for being overly rigid and harsh, but she herself was someone who strictly followed the rules. As long as one didn't break the rules, Kotegawa Yui wouldn't do anything to him.

But even if she didn't do anything, being targeted by Kotegawa Yui was still very troublesome.

Considering that their Service Club often had to assist other girls, he decided not to provoke Kotegawa Yui anymore, so as not to have her coming after him every day.

"Waiting for someone?", Usui Makoto was startled, 'Kaede and Suzu should be at the student council office at this time, then who is Hikigaya-kun waiting for here?'

"Usui-san, Sakurai-san and senior Ryuuzaki were called to a meeting, we should continue our patrol."

Kotegawa Yui didn't care at all about who Hachiman was waiting for, and urged.
