Facing the goddess angel's thanks, Hanabishi Haruka smiled and waved her hand.
Although most of the time they did not know each other's real identities, whether goddess angels, magical girls, or other people secretly protecting the world, everyone was a good partner in fighting evil forces. Seeing a companion run into trouble, of course they had to step in and help.
Judging from the personality of the goddess angel Angeltear, who had clearly been at an absolute disadvantage just now yet still did not retreat, if she encountered a powerful opponent that even the three of them could not defeat, she would definitely join the fight without hesitation.
"Wait, Angeltear, do you know about the Service Club? You don't look very well right now. How about coming back to the Service Club with us to rest for a bit first?"
Just as Hanabishi Haruka and Majima Yuuri both thought the night's battle was over and everyone was about to head home, Mizukami Sayo, the big-chested representative among the magical girls, suddenly called out to Majima Yuuri.
"Service Club?"
Majima Yuuri, who was about to leave, froze. She only knew that there was a Service Department at school. She had never heard of any Service Club.
"Eh! Magia Azul, why did you suddenly invite Angeltear to the Service Club?"
Hanabishi Haruka was also startled by Mizukami Sayo's move. She had naturally noticed the fatigue on the goddess angel in front of them. She had already been struggling during the fight, and now she had used up what little energy she had left to purify the ordinary people in the park.
It could be said that if the goddess angel ran into evil forces again on the way back later, it would be extremely easy for something bad to happen.
But under normal circumstances, not prying into each other's ordinary civilian identities was an unspoken rule.
Like right now, even she and Sayo had to address each other by their magical girl names here, to avoid evil organizations discovering the ordinary identities behind their magical girl personas and threatening their families and friends.
What was more, this Service Club was not even their own private territory. There were many ordinary people there. How could they rashly invite Angeltear to the Service Club and expose her identity?
"Magia Magenta, this wasn't my idea. It was the elf princess's idea."
Seeing Hanabishi Haruka and the silent Tenkawa Kaoruko both look at her, Mizukami Sayo directly turned her phone screen around for them to see.
She naturally understood Hanabishi Haruka's concerns. Normally, even if she worried about the goddess angel's poor condition and possible danger, she would only suggest that the goddess angel rest for a bit before leaving.
It was just that right after the battle ended, Shion had sent her several messages saying that the elf princess Iris wanted to meet the goddess angel and asked them to invite the goddess angel Angeltear to the Service Club.
"The elf princess? How does she know we're together with the goddess angel?"
Looking at the chat records on the phone screen, Hanabishi Haruka suddenly turned her head to look around, her face full of shock.
Elf princess Iris knew they were with the goddess angel Angeltear, and even had Shion send a message inviting the goddess angel back to the Service Club.
Didn't that mean that the magical girl identities they had been hiding all this time were also known by the elf princess?
"The elf princess from another world is that amazing? We were careless…"
Among the three magical girls, Tenkawa Kaoruko, who was the smallest and most delicate, with a well-behaved appearance, looked at the chat records between Mizukami Sayo and Shion and subconsciously frowned, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings for any possible hidden stalkers.
Perhaps because their battles had been going smoothly for so long, and because magical girls possessed a cognitive interference ability, they had not been very cautious when transforming, directly transforming near the elf princess.
Still, even if the elf princess had discovered their identities, there was no reason for her to know that the goddess angel Angeltear was with them.
They themselves did not know in advance that they would encounter a goddess angel here. They were not even drawn here because they sensed Angeltear's battle aura at first.
'Magic from another world… could it really monitor us from such a distance?'
Tenkawa Kaoruko kept scanning the surroundings, but no matter what, she could not sense anything strange, leaving her deeply shaken.
"Uh… we can talk about that later. Let's ask the elf princess when we get back. The important thing right now is whether we should invite Angeltear back to the Service Club."
Seeing that Hanabishi Haruka and Tenkawa Kaoruko were both focusing on their exposed identities, Mizukami Sayo could not help but remind them.
The elf princess had a very good reputation. One reason she was extremely popular among the public was her beautiful and adorable appearance. Another was that the elf race she represented was incredibly kind and advocated peace.
She was not very worried about the elf princess knowing their magical girl identities. After all, magical girls were only special in their own world. They needed to hide their identities just to avoid being disturbed in daily life. But to the elf princess, magical girls who wielded magic probably were not anything rare.
Still, even if she did not mind her identity being exposed, she had to consider the feelings of the goddess angel Angeltear.
Inviting her like this would obviously also expose the goddess angel's true identity.
"Ah, right, um… Angeltear, may I ask if you'd be willing to come back to the Service Club with us to meet the elf princess? She wants to see you, and she might want to invite you to join the Service Club."
Hanabishi Haruka snapped back to her senses and quickly looked at Majima Yuuri, who was still somewhat dazed and completely confused by their conversation.
"The elf princess I'm talking about is Princess Iris, the one who's always on TV. The super popular and super famous mermaid songstress group is there too."
"If you join the Service Club, after each battle you can teleport straight to the Service Club to rest. You won't have to worry about running into other evil forces. Usually we can also communicate more, and if there's any troublesome evil force, we can all go deal with it together."
She herself had no doubts at all about the elf princess, who had always been active in the public eye and advocated harmonious coexistence between humans and demi-humans.
What was more, the elf princess was staying at the home of their good friend Komachi, and had an extremely close relationship with Komachi's older brother.
It was just that before, to hide her identity, she had not thought about using the Service Club's teleportation ability. Now that the elf princess knew their identities, perhaps Komachi, Shion, and Utena all knew too. And it just so happened that they had run into another "magical girl" facing the danger of excessive energy consumption.
She immediately thought of pulling this magical girl called a goddess angel into the Service Club together.
Although she did not know the specific standards for becoming a Service Club member, a goddess angel… should probably meet the criteria. She believed that the elf princess did not simply want to meet the goddess angel, but wanted to invite her to join the Service Club.
"The Service Club… can I make a phone call? I have a senior. I'd like to ask for her opinion. If possible, I'd also like her to join the Service Club with me."
After hearing Hanabishi Haruka's words, Majima Yuuri was truly tempted. But thinking of her senior goddess angel, Suzune Rione, who had guided her awakening and taught her how to fight, she looked at Hanabishi Haruka and the others with some hesitation.
From what she knew, there were already three magical girls in the Service Club, and there were also other elves and mermaids who possessed extraordinary powers.
As far as she knew, there were only two goddess angels fighting the demon clan: herself and Teacher Suzune Rione.
And the demon clan was constantly causing trouble everywhere. She and Teacher Rione were already struggling to handle it.
If both she and Teacher Rione joined the Service Club, then if they encountered a situation like today where they could not defeat the evil forces, she could directly call for backup.
Otherwise, even if she did not want to retreat and held out here until her energy was exhausted, she still would not be able to protect the ordinary people being harmed by evil forces.
"Of course that's fine. I understand."
"Whether you join the Service Club or not, we can still be good friends. But I really hope that later I'll hear the good news that you're willing to join the Service Club and fight together with us."
Seeing that Majima Yuuri was already tempted and just needed to consult a close senior, Hanabishi Haruka quickly nodded, pulling Mizukami Sayo and Tenkawa Kaoruko aside to wait.
"Phew!"
Seeing that Hanabishi Haruka and the others did not use the favor of saving her just now to pressure her, and instead gave her plenty of freedom, Majima Yuuri let out a big sigh of relief. She then took out her phone and called Teacher Suzune Rione.
Although she felt that magical girls who fought evil together were not bad people, and there was even the elf princess involved, so the Service Club probably was not dangerous.
Still, she felt that such an important matter needed a call to Teacher Rione to ask her opinion.
All this time, as a senior goddess angel, Teacher Rione had always warned her to be careful and cautious, not to expose her true identity. Once exposed, it would bring many dangers to her family and friends.
Beep!
["Yu-Yuuri?"]
"Teacher Rione, sorry to disturb your rest so late. I have something rather urgent I want to ask you about. Tonight I ran into…"
Hearing the call connect and Suzune Rione's slightly raised, surprised tone, Majima Yuuri did not think much of it and hurriedly told her everything that had just happened.
The new evil force members, the mysterious black creature, the three magical girls, the Service Club, the elf princess's invitation…
Majima Yuuri held nothing back and told Suzune Rione everything, including her own thoughts.
["Service… Club… hmm…"]
["The elf princess, mm… she should be trying to let you join the Service…"]
Listening to Suzune Rione's long, drawn-out tones of contemplation, Majima Yuuri listened patiently, waiting for her teacher's opinion.
But as she waited, she suddenly realized that Suzune Rione's voice was gone.
"So should we join the Service Club together?"
"Teacher Rione? Teacher Rione? Are you still there?"
Majima Yuuri looked at her phone in confusion. The call had not been disconnected. Was the signal bad?
After a while longer, just as Majima Yuuri was starting to wonder if it was a signal issue and was about to hang up and send a text, Suzune Rione's voice finally sounded from the speaker again.
["Mm… Yuuri, I just went to… check something."]
["This Service Club was founded by Hikigaya-kun, the head of our school's Service Department. There are many Sobu High students inside, and the elf princess and the others really are in the Service Club."]
["But I'm not very clear on the magical girl situation. They should be newcomers who joined recently. If you want to join, then go ahead and join."]
"Oh, so the Service Club really is related to the Service Department… Then Teacher Rione, are you not joining?"
Listening to Suzune Rione's tone, which was a bit different from her usual calm, gentle big-sister manner, Majima Yuuri hesitated as she asked.
She mainly wanted to join together with Teacher Rione. After all, as a goddess angel, she was a newcomer who had only awakened recently and did not understand many things.
As a senior, Teacher Rione definitely understood far more than she did and knew how to interact with other magical girls.
"I'm not in a hurry. Later I—"
["W-wait a second, I'm not very convenient right now… sorry, Yuuri. I'll contact you later!"]
Beep! Beep! Beep!
"Teacher Rione?"
Majima Yuuri blinked in confusion as she looked at the suddenly disconnected call.
Had Teacher Rione run into evil forces again and needed to go fight? Her tone had been unhurried the whole time, and then suddenly it became urgent.
Still, Teacher Rione was so strong that she was not too worried about her safety. It was probably just urgent because she needed to save lives.
Now that she had Teacher Rione's approval to join the Service Club, from now on she would not only fight alongside Teacher Rione, but also with other magical girls!
"I'm willing to join the Service Club!"
After getting Suzune Rione's approval, Majima Yuuri immediately told Hanabishi Haruka and the others her decision.
This answer made Hanabishi Haruka and Mizukami Sayo, who had been waiting nearby, smile uncontrollably.
Majima Yuuri wanted their help, but how could they not want Majima Yuuri to help them as well.
All this time, they had been troubled by having to fight evil forces while also dealing with school. Often, they would be in the middle of class and suddenly have to fake being sick to ask for leave and run off to save the world.
If they could use the Service Club as a hub and gather magical girls scattered across different areas, then when evil forces appeared in the future, they would not have to rush so desperately. Whoever had time could go eliminate the evil forces.
Helping each other and sharing the pressure would definitely be much better than before.
Although only one goddess angel had joined so far, this was a good start. In the future, more and more magical girls would probably join the Service Club.
"Then let's head back. We haven't been out for that long. Angeltear, you might even be able to eat dinner with us."
"We were still worrying about how to explain why we suddenly disappeared for so long. Now it's fine. The elf princess already knows our identities."
"How are we going to face Shion, Komachi, and Utena…"
As Hanabishi Haruka, Tenkawa Kaoruko, and Mizukami Sayo led Majima Yuuri toward Hikigaya's house, they chatted with her, getting to know each other better.
Originally, they could have teleported back directly. But since Majima Yuuri had just joined and the Service Club apparently had not yet enabled teleportation permission for her, they flew back the same way they had come.
It was just that when they came, there were three people. When they went back, there were four.
"Um… Magia Magenta, you don't need to call me Angeltear anymore. My real name is Majima Yuuri. I'm a student at Sobu High. I joined the tennis club, but I don't go to practice very often. I'm usually quite free after school. If you run into any troublesome enemies that are hard to deal with, you can call me."
Seeing that they were still calling her by her transformed goddess angel name, Majima Yuuri said softly with a red face.
Although she had not de-transformed yet, she had already decided to join the Service Club, so she would definitely de-transform later. She felt it would be better to just call her by her real name.
Otherwise, being called Angeltear, the name of her goddess angel form, during everyday interactions would give her a strange sense of embarrassment.
"Oh, oh, sorry. I forgot to ask your real name. I'm Hanabishi Haruka. Magia Azul's real name is Mizukami Sayo. Magia Sulfur's real name is Tenkawa Kaoruko."
Hanabishi Haruka scratched the back of her head and apologized awkwardly, then quickly introduced herself and the two friends beside her.
"From now on, we're companions who fight together. Yuuri, you can just call us by our names. Hmm… or should we call you Yuuri-senpai? After all, Yuuri-senpai, you're older than us, and Sobu High is also the school we want to get into."
Mizukami Sayo nodded thoughtfully and smiled at Majima Yuuri.
"No, no, no. Haruka, Sayo, you can just call me Yuuri. I've only been a goddess angel for a short time, and I don't have much experience fighting evil forces. I'm really not qualified to be your senior."
Hearing Mizukami Sayo's smile in her voice, Majima Yuuri hurriedly waved her hands, telling them not to be so polite.
She had almost been defeated by evil forces today. It was thanks to Hanabishi Haruka and the others that she survived. How could she possibly call herself a senior in front of them?
Only a goddess angel as strong and gentle as Teacher Rione was worthy of being respected as a senior. She also wanted to become a goddess angel like Teacher Rione, silently protecting humanity without saying a word.
"Wait, Sobu High again? No wonder the elf princess told us to invite you to the Service Club…"
Tenkawa Kaoruko touched her chin, her gaze scanning Majima Yuuri's face up and down, her eyes full of surprise.
They had thought they had discovered a magical girl from somewhere else, but in the end, it turned out she was also from Sobu High.
