Chapter 164: Didn't You Say to Open a Harem?

Hachiman raised his hand and pinched her expressionless pretty face, smiling as he spoke.

If he hadn't known that under strong stimulation Suzu would also lose control of her expression, he would have thought Suzu was really facially paralyzed.

"What do you mean? Isn't it the same at anyone's house?", Kaede and Suzu, Rurikawa Tsubaki and the others couldn't help but be stunned upon hearing Hachiman's words.

"Because right now Iris, Aegis, Vignette, Gabriel, and their friends are guests at my house. Counting me, that's nine people already. So many people going to your house for dinner seems a bit inconvenient," Hachiman calculated and found that there were already nine people in his house including himself. If you added the twin sisters Kaede and Suzu, and the master and servant pair Rurikawa Tsubaki, it made thirteen people, enough to hold a private little party.

"???", Kaede widened her eyes, looking at Hachiman incredulously.

'Nine, nine people already?'

'I only have four girls here!'

'This guy Hachiman, does he really want to open a harem?'

"Gulp..."

Rurikawa Tsubaki couldn't help but swallow when she heard that there were a bunch of girls at Hachiman's house, including Iris.

'How can Iris and the others also be there? So bold, so arrogant?'

Originally she thought that Hachiman joking about opening a harem was just a joke, but she didn't expect it to be real, and now even Iris had run over to Hachiman's house?

At this moment she was a little panicked, fearing that Hachiman would expose the relationship they had that night. She didn't want her friendship with Kaede to develop cracks.

"...Why are there so many people at your house?", Kaede didn't notice Rurikawa Tsubaki's expression beside her. Seeing that Hachiman's face showed no joking intention, she took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to punch Hachiman violently, and gritted her teeth to speak.

Originally she was quite happy hearing that Rurikawa Tsubaki wasn't withdrawing from school. She wouldn't have to see her good friend leave or painstakingly look for new student council members.

But knowing that Hachiman's house was full of girls, her mood instantly turned bad.

'This Hachiman, is this how you open a harem! Such great ambition, aren't you afraid you'll die from overindulgence?'

"Is it a lot? Didn't Iris come over for a meal before? Although I only just found out today that Gabriel and Vignette's friends would also come over, it's just two more people."

Hachiman shook his head. Last time when Shion moved houses, the few gyaru girls like Yuina came to help, but they didn't come this time. Even the Yukino and other members of the Service Club didn't come.

That kind of situation was really crowded, one living room couldn't even fit everyone.

Considering that Sakurase Shino, who lived alone, was going to move over, and even Ursula, the dark-skinned dragon girl, needed to be watched over so she wouldn't run around, it was about time for him to talk business with the young landlord.

See how many tenants were still left in the neighboring apartment other than them, and whether he could buy it for remodeling, or rent a few more rooms and connect them.

"What I mean is why does the Elf Princess always run to your house for meals. Aren't you just club members? How could you even invite them to your home," Kaede clenched her fair white fists, glaring fiercely at Hachiman.

Vignette and Gabriel, who had just moved in next door, could be excused. It wasn't a big problem for them to come over for meals, and she didn't feel that Vignette had any intentions toward Hachiman.

'But what's with this Iris?'

Last time Usui was present, she didn't ask in detail, nor did she care much about this Elf Princess who had a vastly different status from Hachiman.

But now, why had she again run off quietly to Hachiman's house for a meal?

Iris, dignified as an Elf Princess, didn't she have her own place to live? Why does she like eating at someone else's home.

And she even brought her guard with her.

"I'm just fulfilling your request to open a harem, right? Since at school impure mixed-gender relationships are prohibited, if I want to build a relationship with Iris, I can only do it after school," Hachiman said straightforwardly, not worried about what Kaede might do. Since they had bet on it, he certainly had to act in front of Kaede, otherwise what if she didn't acknowledge it later.

First let Kaede know he was attacking Iris, let her get used to him flirting with girls, then later arrange an order, exposing the girls one by one that Kaede had listed in her open-harem conditions.

Otherwise, if they all came out at once, Kaede definitely wouldn't be able to accept it.

"...Was that what I meant? Who asked you to open a harem," Momentarily speechless from Hachiman's words, Kaede silently walked past Hachiman into the house, her expression blank.

"Kaede, you're not going home to eat?", Seeing this, Hachiman knew he had it under control, and couldn't help but smile.

"I'm eating at your house," Kaede said without looking back.

She had to go check what was going on between Iris and Hachiman, to the point that even a Princess would run to Hachiman's home without caring about her dignity.

Gabriel and Vignette needed to be observed too. Although she didn't think Vignette had feelings for Hachiman, Hachiman's ambition was so big. If he was blocked at Iris's side, he might try to flirt with the more easy-going and non-aggressive Vignette or Gabriel. Even Gabriel sat next to Hachiman at school.

Just right, since Tsubaki was in the same class as Hachiman, she would have Tsubaki supervise Hachiman properly. If he dared to openly flirt with Gabriel in class, she'd take the Disciplinary Committee to properly warn Hachiman not to disturb school order.

"Hachiman-kun... you this..."

Rurikawa Tsubaki looked at Kaede's back, then looked at Hachiman beside her who was smiling and not taking it to heart, hesitating to speak.

Before coming she was worried that her relationship with Hachiman would be exposed, affecting her relationship with Kaede, but unexpectedly reality was that her matter with Hachiman was nothing at all, the elf princess Iris directly came to the door.

Kaede did not know the specific situation, still thought that Iris might have been pulled to the house by Hachiman through club relations to have a meal together, or had some thoughts about Hachiman but not a deep relationship yet.

But after experiencing that night at the Poiman family, she knew clearly, the elf princess Iris and Hachiman's relationship had already hooked together, even Iris looked like she listened very much to Hachiman.

Although the root of it she also wasn't very clear, but the facts were right in front of her, she didn't even know how to tell Kaede.

Kaede being able to become student council president was indeed excellent in all aspects, but compared to the elf princess Iris, then it appeared completely at a disadvantage, the childhood friend point instead became the biggest disadvantage.

"Don't worry, I've already made a bet with her, now she can't do anything, just jealous. As for Iris and the others... their personalities are actually quite good, won't conflict with Kaede," Hachiman seeing Rurikawa Tsubaki still worrying about Kaede, thought inwardly that Kaede indeed found good friends, Usui, Rurikawa Tsubaki, both wholeheartedly thinking for her.

However he didn't think childhood friends were bad, childhood friends were great, Kaede and Suzu were even twin sisters.

Although Kaede's pridefulness was indeed annoying, but if not for her pride, he would have already become lovers with Kaede long ago, now he also wasn't opening a harem yet.

"Is that so... then fine," Rurikawa Tsubaki hearing Iris didn't have intentions against Kaede, slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, back then when she was manipulated by Ursula, Iris was still smiling cheerfully at the side.

If Iris was easily jealous and wanted to snatch position, she shouldn't have let her get involved.

However, just like Kaede just thought, she also didn't understand how an elf princess like Iris could have such a good relationship with Hachiman.

"Hachiman, how many girls have you hooked up with?", Suzu stared at Hachiman and Rurikawa Tsubaki who were talking, suddenly asked.

She found that Rurikawa Tsubaki was truly worrying about Kaede, but she still faintly felt something wrong, if Rurikawa Tsubaki and Hachiman had no relation, then what about the gaze she saw on Rurikawa Tsubaki before?

Could it be a secret crush on Hachiman?

Rurikawa Tsubaki and Hachiman in the same class basically had no contact, originally she and Kaede were very relieved, but now it seemed, too little contact instead was a bit problematic.

"Why are you suddenly asking this? Even if I say you won't believe it, right?", Hachiman looked at Suzu a little surprised, wondering what this silent sister was thinking.

"How many?", Suzu looked expressionlessly at Hachiman.

"Even if not dozens there are at least ten or so," Seeing Suzu insistently asking, Hachiman thought a bit, said after pondering.

"Liar," Suzu looked expressionlessly at Hachiman, trying to find the real answer from his expression.

If it was a few she might believe, but ten-plus...

Hachiman's physical fitness was very high, she didn't know when he trained to be so good, but she still didn't think Hachiman could be that amazing.

"I said you wouldn't believe it, but whether you believe it or not it's fine, let's go sit inside first, it's almost time to eat," Hachiman lowered his head and kissed Suzu's smooth and delicate cheek, rubbed her head with a smile, not intending to explain more, brought Suzu, Rurikawa Tsubaki, and Koto into the house.

Ten-plus really wasn't much, at home there was Shion, the three gyaru girls in the class and the politician's daughter Ichinose Ayano, the shut-in girl Sakurase Shino and the shy athletic girl combination Hayase Saki and Miki in the Service Club, these were already eight people.

The elf princess sisters needing assistance, the mermaid songstress idol, and the dragon clan leader were another six.

Adding in the female swimming club members like Uenohara Ayano he would invest energy into next, it was almost reaching twenty, not even counting the shallowly hooked Bocchi-chan and Miura Yumiko, and even Kaede, Suzu sisters and Rurikawa Tsubaki were not counted yet.

"...", Seeing Hachiman's expression not like fooling her, Suzu touched her slightly moist cheek, walked into the house while falling into deep thought.

"Hoo...", Seeing Suzu not paying attention to herself, but being attracted by Hachiman, Rurikawa Tsubaki quietly breathed a sigh of relief, finally pulling through this topic.

Just now when Hachiman said there were ten-plus girls hooked up with, she was almost scared to death, thinking Hachiman would really expose everything to Suzu.

Later seeing Suzu not believing she finally heavily breathed a sigh of relief.

'However, really so many? That's too ridiculous.'

Hachiman didn't seem to be joking, just the ones she knew, Iris, Aegis, Ursula were already three, not to mention the unknown number of demi-humans.

Adding the Service Club with only Hachiman as the boy, Yukinoshita Yukino, Ichinose Ayano, Sakurase Shino...

Rurikawa Tsubaki and Maid Shion walked behind Hachiman and Suzu, suddenly thought the absurdity happening in the Service Club might be even crazier than that night with Hachiman and Iris, her flawless pale cheeks instantly became scorching hot, the slender neck incomparably flushed.

'With Hachiman ability to make the dragon clan leader Ursula cry out wa wa and struggle saying next time next time... if just ordinary girls, maybe he really can do it...'

———

Living room, Kaede who ran in first sat down in the original seat of Hachiman, between Iris and Gabriel.

Kaede was furious in front of Hachiman, wishing to punch his dog head, but in the living room in front of everyone, she looked very easy-going, warmly talking and laughing with Gabriel and Iris, even not neglecting Satanichia who was eating snacks beside, very concerned about Satanichia's situation.

She indeed was unhappy about Hachiman calling so many girls home, the desire to open a harem was undisguised, but she didn't think Hachiman could really win over so many excellent girls, of course she wouldn't coldly rush in and drive everyone away, making herself and Hachiman both embarrassed.

However, although Hachiman couldn't take everyone, but Hachiman's target to hook up and open a harem was definitely among them, she had to find out.

As for what to do after finding out, she hadn't thought of it yet, but in any case had to find out, otherwise with so many girls, she couldn't keep an eye on all of them, impossible to monitor all.

Raphiel smiled while watching Kaede who wore a cheerful and warm smile but was actually scrutinizing them with her eyes.

How could Kaede's behavior hide from her, might not even be able to hide from the seemingly pure and cute Iris.

Iris being able to stand out among so many elf princesses to become the elf royal princess, relied not only on being petite and cute.

Beautiful appearance and kind personality were only the basics for gaining public love, what really made her highly praised was her own ability.

Whether the daily social ability that made people feel like a spring breeze, or the diplomatic skills of advancing and retreating appropriately on major occasions, she was much stronger than other princesses.

However Iris had no ideas about Hachiman's lover position, even in front of Kaede she always actively helped Hachiman to cover up, never thinking of destroying their relationship, only wishing that Hachiman could assist them more, help the elf race more.

Raphiel who liked to watch fun also had no thoughts about it, her wanting to stir things up didn't mean she wanted to break Hachiman and Kaede's relationship.

But now Hachiman and Kaede were not considered a normal couple relationship.

Hachiman now liked Gabriel, but had a close relationship with Iris, beside him there was also a childhood friend who liked him.

'Childhood friend, elf princess from another world, and angel, hmm, plus a demon...'

Raphiel glanced at Vignette who was still busy in the kitchen, smiled brightly preparing to think about how to pull Gabriel and Vignette into it too.

'The fallen angel pretending to be fallen, the kind demon, the mortal wandering between heaven and hell...'

'Surely it will be very interesting.'
