Thump, thump.

I’m being carried by Lena towards the dormitory, my body devoid of strength.

I’m on the verge of death due to muscle pain all over my body.

“Hey, Ayden… Sorry… Hehe♥”

“… Why did you suddenly do that when you don’t usually?”

“I sometimes go into a frenzy without realizing it… I’ll try not to do it again next time…”

“Don’t just try, make sure you don’t… I really thought I was going to die…”

“Hehe, sorry♥ But I really enjoyed it♥”

Lena spoke with a voice mixed with aegyo as if trying to soothe her anger.

*Sigh*… She’s my girlfriend after all, I should understand… But she looks even prettier up close…

My anger dissipated as I looked at Lena’s beautiful face.

“Are we going to do this every day from now on?♥”

“What? You mean sex?”

“Yes♥”

“No! If we do it every day, I’ll die from exhaustion.”

“Aww♥ Okay. How about every other day then?♥”

I eventually agreed after seeing Lena’s earnest face.

*Sigh*… I’m too weak against beauties…

“Okay. But if I say it’s too much, you have to stop, okay?”

“Yes♥”

Carried by Lena, I was moved to the bed.

Lena kissed me, unable to move.

Smack♥

“Goodnight, Ayden♥”

“Yes. You too, Lena.”

I fell asleep.

The next morning, I greeted Lena at the academy.

“Lena, hi…♥”

“Yes♥ Hi, Ayden♥”

We sat in our respective seats, holding hands while attending classes.

Although nothing outwardly changed since yesterday, we both felt warmer towards each other.

Ah… I’m so happy… I wish things could stay like this.

I felt a sense of stability that I had rarely experienced since coming to the Elven Kingdom.

As I was about to head home after school, Emily approached me unexpectedly.

“Ayden? I saw you yesterday. It was nice.”

I felt uneasy for some reason when Emily spoke.

“Oh… Is that so?”

“Yes♥ I’ve never seen an elf and a human love each other so passionately.”

Since then, I had been the only one receiving affection…

“Haha… Lena is the most precious elf to me.”

Upon hearing my words, Lena smiled and said, “I’ve become curious about men since yesterday. Could you help me?”

“What? Emily, don’t you have a male slave?”

“Yes♥ My mother is a bit peculiar… And I’m not interested in male slaves. I’m curious about men called warriors.”

What… What is she saying? How can she say such things when she knows I have a girlfriend?

I was taken aback but composed myself and replied, “I… I’m only with Lena.”

“Ehehe…♥ Is that so?”

“Yes. I won’t do anything to make Lena sad in the future.”

“If Lena gets sad, does it make you feel bad?”

“Yes…? Of course it would make me feel bad.”

I couldn’t grasp Emily’s intention behind the question.

“Hehe…♥ I understand the warrior’s heart well. I’ll see you again soon.”

Emily left cheerfully.

Feeling upset, I flicked Emily’s back of the head.

Suddenly, Emily turned around, caught my gaze, smiled, and left.

What’s going on? Does she have eyes in the back of her head? Does she have rear-view magic?

I thought it was going to be difficult to get along with Emily.

Well, I actually don’t mind.

I decided to think positively.

I wanted to touch Emily’s enormous chest once, but I gave up.

I should be satisfied with touching Lena’s… Greed is always a no-go.

After finishing the intense battle with Emily, I returned to the dormitory.

A few days later, the club activity day arrived.

I considered going to the Human Protection Club but decided against it.

“Damn… The trash president won’t be able to do any good deeds again…”

I reconsidered the information given to me by the club president.

In the past, a student who was close with a legendary hero is now a faculty member at the academy? Then how old would that make them? Easily over 400 years old, right? If they’re over 400 years old, does that make them a grandmother?

I tried to confirm all the academy staff based on their ages.

However, I was struggling because I didn’t know the lifespan of elves.

Everyone had left for club activities, so I was the only one left in the classroom.

*Sigh*… I need to know this to conduct an investigation…

While pondering, I saw a familiar figure with blue hair passing by outside the classroom.

“Oh… Could that be… Fiona?”

Excited, I ran up to her and started a conversation.

“Fiona? Do you have a moment? I have something to ask.”

“Huh? Hero? What’s up?”

“By any chance, how long do elves live?”

“The lifespan varies among elves, but roughly around 1000 years?”

“Wow~ That’s a long time. So, would someone around 400 years old be considered a grandmother?”

“Hahaha! What are you talking about! Around 400 years old would be like 40 in human age.”

“Oh? So do elves age continuously similar to humans?”

“Of course! Just at different rates. Elves are born as babies and grow old like grandmothers.”

Huh? It’s much simpler than I thought?

“Um… I understand now. Thank you.”

“But why were you curious about this?”

“I’m looking for an academy staff member around 400 years old.”

“Don’t you have any other information? How can you find someone with just the age of the staff members?”

“Ah… Is it difficult?”

“It’s impossible without additional information. Absolutely impossible.”

…

I eventually decided to give up.

“Ah~ Damn. But I really don’t want to shoot another AV.”

Aside from not wanting to film another AV, I found the sight of the club president laughing unbearable.

In the end, I decided to put off thinking about the legendary hero for later.

“Fiona, thanks for letting me know. But aren’t you part of any clubs?”

“Well… Actually, I’m going around trying to recruit new members for the volleyball club since we’re short on people…”

“Oh… I see…”

“They say elves lack perseverance these days, right? Once you start something, you should see it through. Where’s the commitment if you quit halfway?”

Seeing Fiona looking disheartened after kindly informing me, I felt uncomfortable.

Then, a good idea struck me, and I spoke up.

“Fiona, what if I join the volleyball club? Wouldn’t more people come then?”

“Really? That would be amazing! I’m so grateful.”

“But I’m short and not as strong as elves. Can I still participate in sports?”

After contemplating for a moment, Fiona replied, “Hmm… That should be fine. I’ll figure something out.”

And so, I decided to join the volleyball club.

Following Fiona to the gym, I noticed there weren’t many people…

Entering the waiting room next to the gym, Fiona handed me a piece of paper.

“What’s this?”

“It’s a club registration form. Made with magic.”

“Why do you need a signed form to join a club?”

Without much thought, I tried to sign it.

Fiona stopped me. “Wait! Read all the rules carefully before signing. It’s enchanted, so breaking them could lead to trouble.”

“Got it.”

I skimmed through the rules briefly, then pretended to have read them all and signed.

Checking the paper, Fiona smiled brightly and said, “Welcome to the volleyball team!”

“I look forward to working with you, Fiona.”

“Now, I need to create some promotional materials. Once word gets out that you’ve joined, more people will come.”

“I doubt that many will show up… Anyway, I’ll bring my gym clothes next week.”

“You don’t need gym clothes… Anyway, see you next week.”

After a happy weekend following Friday, the next day at the academy, I witnessed something unbelievable.

【Handsome Manager Available】

【Manager gives a step when you join♥】

【Additional rewards for manager based on performance in competitions♥】

What the… What is this?

Unbeknownst to me, I became the manager of the volleyball club.

###

I went to the volleyball club to confront Fiona after school.

Unlike before, there were noticeably more people in the club room.

I went to the volleyball room and shoved a volleyball club brochure at Fiona.

“Hey, Fiona. Is that manager over there possibly me?”

“That’s right, isn’t it?”

“Are you kidding? I never agreed to be a manager.”

“It’s written on the consent form over there.”

“Don’t lie.”

I read the club registration consent form.

“If a male joins the club, they will perform the duties of the manager.”

What the hell, seriously? Why does this even exist in the first place?

“…”

“I thought you knew everything when you joined.”

“Sigh… Fine. Then I’ll just withdraw from the club.”

“That’s not possible either. It’s written on the consent form.”

“What…? Seriously…?”

I hesitantly read the consent form again.

“If a male withdraws from the club or refuses the manager’s duties, they will be expelled from the academy.”

“…”

“Anyway, since many students joined this week, we need you, so make sure to come on Friday.”

I left the gym exhausted and collapsed onto my dorm bed.

“Ah… damn it…”

###

Before I knew it, it was Friday.

I said goodbye to Lena before heading to the volleyball club.

“…Lena. I’ll be back.”

“Yes♥ Do well and come back♥”

Lena seemed surprisingly unfazed, knowing what awaited me.

It seemed like as long as she loved herself, everything else was forgivable.

Elves are all out of their minds…

I steeled myself and headed to the gym.

There were a tremendous number of elves lined up in the gym.

Damn… Is this really everyone…?

As I walked by, everyone started to pay attention to me.

I tried to ignore them as much as possible and went to Fiona in the volleyball room.

“Hey, Manager is here? There are a lot of people today, so there’s a lot to do, hurry up and change.”

Upon seeing me, Fiona immediately told me to change my clothes.

She seemed to view me as a tool to increase the club’s membership.

I changed my clothes and asked Fiona,

“Are we not having sex today? I’ll die if I have to do it with all those people.”

“Hmm… If we start with sex, the kids will loosen up, so today let’s go with handjobs one by one.”

“…”

“There might be some newcomers, so I should demonstrate. Come here.”

And thus began my first volleyball club manager duties.
