Chapter 93 - Circle Members, Assemble!

 Our circle is finally set to begin its activities... but before that, I should confirm the members.

First, there’s me, the organizer, Sao. A master of seduction and sex. Only a genius ladies' man like me could lead a group of such formidable women.

Then, Big Sis Calibur and Lady Staff. Between my biological sister and my loyal mistress, they are always with me, and they joined this time as a matter of course. I’m truly grateful for our strong bond.

"Helping Sao is my duty as his lover. I’ll follow you to the depths of hell," Lady Staff said.

"When Sao and I team up, we can handle most enemies. The power of love and horniness is infinite!" Big Sis added.

How reassuring it is just to have these two by my side!!

Next is the Senior Team. Fourth-years Estoc and Flammea, and final-year students Spear and Voulge. Since they were the reason I started the circle, it would be a problem if they didn't participate. I’ve tailored the activity policy to your needs, so make sure you do your best, okay?

"Yes! We'll give it our all!" 

"In accordance with Lady Staff’s will!"

...Wait, did they suddenly become much more cooperative? Did Lady Staff’s lecture on the duties of a lord really hit home that hard? Well, smooth progress is a good thing.

That covers the bare minimum, but there's no reason to stop there. Allow me to introduce more of my crazy companions.

Classmates I've braved danger with since our first year: the "Takarazuka-style" maiden Bloom and her loyal bodyguard swordswoman, Clay More!

"Hey, hey! It’s cruel of you guys to not invite us to something this fun!" Bloom shouted.

Well, I'm inviting you now.

"Bloom and I went into different majors this year, so we haven't seen each other as much." 

"To make up for it, allow me to join your circle! Witness the magic of me, the [Passion Wizard] Bloom!!"

Huh? Did Bloom’s 'Divine Calling' evolved too? Everyone is evolving so fast I can barely keep track.

"If... if Lady Bloom is joining, I have no choice but to follow. I’ll be in your care again for a while." 

"Yes, I look forward to working with you." 

"Don't say that while stroking my crotch!?"

More is as blunt as ever, but her lack of friendliness just makes the way she falls apart in bed even more irresistible.

Is that everyone? I’ll end the introductions of my merry band of—

"""WAIT A MINUTE—!!"""

What? Who else? I didn't think there was anyone left, but then I saw a group of familiar tanned faces. It was the Gyaru Trio (the three of them)! They were the habitual rule-breakers I disciplined while helping the Disciplinary Committee during my volunteer work.

"You promised, right!? That you'd shove Sao-chin's cock deep inside us! No hogging him all to yourselves!" 

"Since all the playboy circles we used to go to were crushed, you're the only one we can rely on for cock, Sao. Please, let us in!?" 

"We're like, totally good at circle activities!"

I'm getting a strong vibe that they’ll just be "Circle Crushers," but can they keep up with a hardcore physical circle like ours?

"It’s fine, it’s fine! I'm a [Ranger], I can open Rank A treasure chests!" 

"I'm a [Capoeirista]!" 

"I'm an [Appraiser]!"

...Wait, what? The gyarus actually have high-performance jobs!? Is it because they're so active and proactive that they reach for these things? A mystery of the world.

Well, if I'm welcoming these three gyarus...

"The Class Rep, Libra, wanted to join too, but she can't juggle it with her Disciplinary Committee work. So tragic! Lol!"

That's a shame. Well, for real this time, the circle members are all—

"HOLD ON—!!"

Another one!? Who now?

"You're still being naive, Sao. Extracurricular activities need a faculty advisor! Have you even secured a instructor to watch over you!?"

It was the special instructor, Beaker!? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be preparing your lectures like you promised!?

"It sounds much more interesting to follow Sao and observe his activities! Please, let me in on this!" 

"But you're an Instructor, aren't you?"

Therefore, I can't include you as a member, even if you are a skipped-ahead genius who's the same age as us.

"That's why I'm telling you to use the 'Advisor' slot..." 

"Ah."

Do circles need advisors? I didn't really know, but it would be reassuring to have an adult to take responsibility when we're off-campus. Though Beaker is an Instructor, she's hardly an adult. I'm very uneasy.

"Exactly. A fickle Instructor like you can't hold Sao’s leash." 

"Someone else!?"

It was Instructor Whip!? Instructor Whip is here!? The one who has guided us consistently since enrollment has descended!

"In the first place, I have already been appointed as the advisor. When he was securing the faculty’s approval for the circle, that was the arrangement we settled on." 

"Then just swap with me. What's the harm?" Beaker asked. 

"How can you be so selfish!?" Whip snapped. Even the iron-willed teacher was overwhelmed by Beaker’s genius-level freedom.

"Listen, you don't even hold your classes or fulfill your duties as an Instructor. Do you really think you can handle being an advisor?" 

"It's not about whether I can. I want to, so I'm doing it." 

"Your very existence is a bad influence on education...!"

For us, we definitely want Instructor Whip as our advisor. She’s dependable. If Beaker-chan becomes the advisor, the thrills and the difficulty level will obviously double. To be honest, I want to live my life as safely as possible.

"Either way, Sao and the others are heading out for a dungeon practicum. Instructor Whip, it’s impossible for you to go with them, isn't it?" 

"Guh...?" 

"You're too busy, after all. You're the Head of the Second-Year Students, right? You have classes to teach and a homeroom to look after. You can't afford to be away from the school for days!!"

By the way, we've already finished our required second-year coursework, so we're relatively free to move.

"Compared to you, I'm flexible. After all, I don't have any classes to teach!!" 

"TEACH YOUR CLASSES ALREADY."

Seriously, someone fire her. Or rather, please teach your classes—that was our deal!

"Damn... it’s true that I have responsibilities as a Royal Academy Instructor and cannot leave. Even if Sao and the others go on off-campus activities, I cannot accompany them...!" 

"Right? So I'll take over as the substitute—!" 

"No need to worry, I've already arranged a substitute," Whip cut in. 

"What!?"

According to Instructor Whip, she asked a pro adventurer she's close with to accompany and supervise us. An adventurer she's close with... oh.

"The A-Rank Adventurer, Gurka!?" 

"I contacted her, and she accepted immediately. It’s best to leave field matters to a professional. So, Sao, will you accept her?"

Of course! Gurka was our supervisor during our first off-campus dungeon practicum too. She’s been a great help, and I'm looking forward to seeing her again!

"As I said, I cannot go with you. I have other students to guide. However, I can provide support from behind the scenes, so leave that to me." 

"Understood."

I'm counting on you, Instructor Whip.

"So, before you leave... since we won't see each other for a while, make sure to pour plenty of 'everything' into me, okay? ❤️❤️" Instructor Whip said, clutching the hem of my shirt. Despite being a teacher, she was incredibly cute.

"Hmph, fine. Then I'll just follow along normally for no particular reason." 

"TEACH. YOUR. CLASSES." Beaker, seriously.

"Don't be so cold. If I go, this one naturally follows me too." 

"Moo."

Waaaaaaah! It's Minoko!!

I'm so happy! She's an animal, she's strong, and she's female! She's a cute mascot, a powerful ally, and on top of that, a sexual partner!! I'm so glad Minoko is joining! If only I could cut Beaker loose!!

And then... right. If we're going into a dungeon, I have to take the porter girls. Bringing back materials is our primary goal, and we can't start without carriers. I called out to Nana, Nini, Mumu, Meme, and Momo, who are currently working as maids at the mansion, to return to their original profession for a bit.

Now, finally... finally, our circle is all here. A band of companions bound by inseparable ties! We're going to rake it in at the dungeon!!

"Now, Sao, one last thing we need to decide..." 

"Yes?" 

"What will the circle's name be?"

It's better to decide for convenience... to distinguish us from other circles. What should it be?

"I have a great idea for that!" 

Oh, Big Sis? It’s rare for her to have an idea. What kind of trendy, pop, high-society name is it?

"The name I thought of is..." Here it comes. 

"'Sao's Harem'."

... ...... .........

"""""""""""APPROVED."""""""""""

"Moo." 

"Whaaaaaaaat—!?"

I thought it would be rejected immediately, but it was approved unanimously!? Wait a minute, can a circle name really be that!? It’s worse than a Sex Circle!?

"But I think this name represents the true essence of this group," someone said. 

"True." 

"Once I heard it, nothing else felt right."

Why is everyone agreeing so easily!?

"Don't screw with me! I can't allow a circle name that's going to cause trouble later!" I tried to resist desperately, but my resistance was futile. It was set in stone.

Circle: "Sao's Harem"

With our members and our name decided, we're officially launching!
