In this world, even among humans, conflicts arise due to differing interests, let alone between different races from another world.
When Iris said this, he immediately thought of the various dangers the elves might face. After all, elves indeed align with human aesthetics. Even an ordinary elf would be considered quite attractive in human eyes.
"It's not exactly extremely dangerous. Our world's forests are vast and dense. Once we retreat deep into the Elven Forest and conceal ourselves with barriers, humans wouldn't dare venture in under the threat of powerful magical beasts."
Iris shook her head and continued explaining.
"However, after ensuring our safety, the issue of our race's reproduction arises."
"With the elves rarely seeing outsiders in the Elven Forest, combined with the gradual decline of mana concentration, our birth rate has dropped to an alarming level."
"Until we discovered a passage in the Elven Forest leading to this world and found that the mana concentration here is still high, while the humans here haven't even learned magic..."
"I see. So that's why you came to me?"
Hachiman suddenly understood. No wonder. He had been wondering why Iris and the others, as elves from another world, would go out of their way to cross dimensions to seek help here.
So there was such a hidden reason.
"Mm... President, your life force is so abundant and recovers so quickly. Even in our world, that's extremely rare."
As Iris spoke, her cheeks suddenly flushed, and she lowered her head shyly, avoiding his gaze.
"In the future... more elves in their reproductive period might come to trouble you, President..."
Although humans in this world seemed individually weak, their numbers far exceeded those in the other world. Without sufficient territory to settle in, the elves had not yet decided whether to migrate here.
However, regardless of anything else, the elves' birth rate had already dropped to a terrifyingly low level. They desperately needed strong and reliable supporters to assist their young elf women in their reproductive period.
"Uh..."
Seeing Iris suddenly blushing to herself, Hachiman was momentarily speechless.
'You're not even pregnant yet, and you're already worrying about your fellow elves?'
'An entire race of elven girls—Iris, do you have that much confidence in my capabilities?'
'My Love Live Simulation System doesn't even have a time-stop mode yet'
"Of course, it won't be too many. Elves have long lifespans and short reproductive periods, so there aren't many elves in that phase at any given time."
Seeing Hachiman's dumbfounded expression, Iris quickly clarified, fearing he might misunderstand.
No matter how much she wanted the President's help, she wouldn't just dump all the elf women on him at once. How could he possibly handle that?
Given the President's intense and rich life force, she would naturally have to selectively choose those with excellent potential—or perhaps invite other elven princesses.
Though elves had weak reproductive capabilities and far fewer numbers compared to humans, there were still quite a few of them. Iris and Aegis weren't the only elven princesses.
As the First Princess, Iris held a special status, but beneath her were several other elven princesses who hadn't been officially titled.
If she remembered correctly, those princesses, unable to leave the Elven Forest to seek supporters, were also troubled by their reproductive period.
The elves didn't enforce childbearing. Ordinary elves could follow their own will—if they didn't meet someone they liked, they simply wouldn't have children. But as elven princesses, they had to set an example for their declining race.
She believed that if she recommended the President to others, they would gladly accept. After all, elven princesses couldn't just pick any random supporter. A supporter too weak would lower the next generation's potential, while an overly promiscuous one would violate the elves' pure and dedicated traditions, bringing shame to the royal family.
As long as the President could handle it, Iris hoped he could help as many of her elven sisters as possible—then move on to the most gifted and promising elves in the clan.
As the First Princess, Iris naturally thought of her people when encountering good things. She couldn't let others take all the benefits.
Iris stole a glance at Vignette in the living room, as well as the beastfolk in her class who were also struggling with low birth rates, and secretly resolved to work with Aegis and her other sisters to protect the President.
"Ahem, I'm not saying I refuse. I just think it's not ideal for you all to rely on me so much. After all, my abilities are limited."
Seeing Iris staring at him with eager eyes, Hachiman sighed helplessly.
With his current physique and ever-improving abilities, as long as his energy wasn't forcibly drained, he wasn't worried about being "exhausted" by the elves.
But his time each day was limited—he couldn't just spend all of it with the elven girls.
Even though "seeding an entire race of elves" sounded impressive, he just wanted to enjoy life, not become a breeding machine.
"We understand that too. Our Elven Mother Tree used to help us give birth, but as mana declined, the Elven Spring also began to dry up. Now, the Mother Tree rarely produces newborns."
Iris hugged Hachiman's arm, her soft body pressing against him as she whispered her plea.
"I just hope that if the President likes our elven girls, you can help them whenever you have time."
"Will you, President~?"
"With you asking like that, how could I refuse?"
Looking at the adorable Iris clinging to him, Hachiman helplessly pinched her soft, charming face.
He had initially thought just assisting Iris and Aegis would be enough, but who could have guessed Iris had an entire race of elf girls waiting for him?
He wondered if his Love Live Simulation System would eventually grant him time-related abilities. Otherwise, at his current rate, he wouldn't have much time to spare for the elves—especially considering how difficult it was for them to conceive.
Based on previous task rewards, the system granted abilities related to the scenarios he encountered. If he ever faced a "time stop" event, completing the mission might grant him a time-stop ability.
But if he really did encounter someone with time-stopping powers, that would be troublesome...
Uh, maybe not.
Hachiman suddenly glanced at Vignette in the living room and then thought of Gabriel—specifically, Gabriel's voyeuristic older sister.
Even if time-stopping abilities existed in this world, they probably only worked on ordinary people. No way could they stop the big shots from Heaven.
Since his spirit was protected by the Service Collar, he could enter Love Live Mode anytime to escape. He didn't really fear time-stopping abilities.
"President, you're the best~ Mmm~",Moved, Iris tiptoed and tightly hugged Hachiman.
She knew how unreasonable her request was, yet the President still agreed. She had no idea how to repay his selfless assistance.
She still had to accompany the President shopping tomorrow and the day after. Next week, she and Aegis would find time to return to the Elven Forest.
Elves had long lifespans. By the time an ordinary elf reached adulthood, a human would have already passed away. She didn't want to face parting from the President. Maybe she could ask her mother for help...
Although longevity-extending treasures were rare, if her mother and the others realized the President's strength and the immense help he provided, they would likely do everything they could to extend his life.
Hachiman had no idea that before he had even started assisting the elves, Iris was already thinking about prolonging his lifespan.
He only felt that the golden-haired elf girl in front of him seemed to like him more and more, even now while cooking, she couldn't resist the impulse to be intimate with him.
"Wait, Iris, we're still cooking."
Hachiman suddenly noticed that Iris wasn't satisfied with just kissing him and still wanted more.
"President, don't worry, I've cast a soundproofing spell, and an illusion spell as well, they won't notice us from the living room.",Iris bit her moist cherry lips, her petite and soft body pressed against Hachiman, unable to suppress her desire, a low murmur softly sounded in his ear.
"President, you just need to slowly cook, leave the rest to me."
'How could they not notice?'
Vignette in the living room is not an ordinary person, she's a demon.
However, Iris seemed particularly passionate today, before Hachiman could say anything, she opened her mouth and gently bit Hachiman, blocking all the sounds he wanted to make in her tender throat.
"Mmm..."
Asougi Shion, who was beside them, watched as Hachiman and Iris changed from discussing serious matters to discussing postures step by step, her face turned extremely red as she glanced back at the three in the living room who seemed not to notice this side, quickly retracted her gaze and continued to lower her head to cook, not daring to say much.
When she knew that the two elf princesses, Iris and Aegis, were going to stay overnight at her brother's house, she knew this scene would happen sooner or later, after all, her brother would even take her to Komachi's room to play.
She just didn't expect this scene to happen so quickly, even before dinner was ready.
Asougi Shion watched from the side, very clear that the elf princess Iris liked her brother immensely, her brother didn't even need to lift a finger and Iris would come to him.
Fortunately, she didn't think about competing for anything, otherwise what could she compare with the elf princess Iris.
Asougi Shion secretly cheered herself on while cooking, determined to be a good sister to her brother.
———
In the living room.
Komachi, Vignette, and Aegis all sat on the sofa with their backs to the kitchen, watching TV together.
Aegis could sense the movement of the soundproofing spell behind her, but she didn't pay attention to what Iris and the President were up to.
After being reminded by Iris through a voice transmission spell, Aegis's attention was focused on Vignette on the other side of Komachi, quietly observing whether this seemingly ordinary human girl was actually a hidden succubus lurking by the President's side with ill intentions.
Originally, Aegis thought Iris's guess was problematic, if it were a succubus, she would definitely not be able to resist her instinct to entangle with the President who has such a strong life aura, and they couldn't have missed any clues on the President.
But now she suddenly noticed that Vignette's breathing was somewhat rapid, and her face was quietly covered with a blush, immediately becoming alert.
'Could this Vignette really be a succubus?'
'Just with a stronger will, not rashly making a move on the President?'
'Otherwise, why would she be short of breath and blushing while watching an ordinary TV show.'
'It must be because Vignette heard the movements in the kitchen covered by the soundproofing spell.'
Aegis and Iris's guesses were very outrageous, suspecting Vignette to be a succubus, but they did guess one thing right, Vignette really heard the movements in the kitchen.
'They, they...',Vignette pretended to be calm while watching the variety show on TV, but her eyes were wandering, restless, her breathing was disordered, only Komachi was engrossed in the TV show and didn't notice her abnormality.
Feeling Aegis's gaze on her, Vignette suddenly felt some regret.
If she had been in the kitchen with Hachiman cooking, such an awkward situation wouldn't have happened, she should have forced her way into the kitchen and swapped out Iris and the others.
When she was studying in the underworld, she learned some about the racial characteristics, customs, and weaknesses of elves, although the characteristics of elf races in each world are somewhat different, some powerful ones master magic, while weaker ones only know how to use bows and arrows, and in some worlds, they also refer to the elf race as fairies.
However, the common characteristic of elves is that they are very handsome and beautiful, some elf races even only have females, mainly relying on the elf mother tree or other races for reproduction.
The love view of elves is quite simple, generally pure and flawless, guarding their chastity, but once in love, they become very...
She didn't expect that the elf princess Iris and Hachiman were in such a relationship.
If she had known, she would have strongly prevented the two from going into the kitchen together.
Because Iris's soundproofing spell had little effect on Vignette, the two in the kitchen seemed to be intimately close as if sitting next to her.
It's just that she couldn't say anything at this time.
Because she was just an "ordinary person", the elf princess Iris had already set up a soundproofing spell, which was quite considerate of them in the living room, she had hidden her demon identity and eavesdropped on Iris and the others' affairs, which was actually her fault.
'Sho-should I... go back first... but...'
Clearly hearing the sounds from the kitchen getting hotter, Vignette felt like sitting on pins and needles, every minute felt like a year, wishing she could get up and leave immediately.
But getting up now would directly see the movements of Iris and Hachiman in the semi-open kitchen...
Vignette was caught in a dilemma.
After a long time, Komachi finished watching the variety show, suddenly turned her head to look at the kitchen, saw that Hachiman, Iris, and the others were still busy in the kitchen, couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.
"Why isn't it ready yet? Are there so many dishes today?"
She felt that the cooking speed today was a bit slow, with her brother and Shion's skilled techniques, the meal should have been ready long ago, could it be that the elf princess Iris's poor skills dragged them down and took so much time?
Komachi was a bit puzzled, but afraid of making Iris feel awkward, she patiently waited, not going to the kitchen to see how they were doing.
"Komachi, come wash your hands and serve the dishes."
Hachiman called out to Komachi from the kitchen.
"Oh! Coming! coming!"
Hearing the signal that dinner was ready, Komachi quickly got up to wash her hands.
"Mmm..."
Vignette's face was red, she slowly got up, followed Komachi to wash her hands and carried plates to the dining table.
All the way, she kept her head down, not daring to look at Iris and Hachiman in the kitchen.
Even after sitting down to eat together, she still didn't dare to look up, just silently eating her rice.
"Um... I'm done, thanks for the meal. I suddenly remember I have something to do, I'll head back first!",Vignette hurriedly finished her meal, not daring to stay any longer, and left.
"Eh? Sister Vignette, won't you stay and play a bit longer?"
