Stealing Spree

Chapter 1104 You better steal her

Chapter 1104 You better steal her

??Soon after my talk with Ichihara-san wherein I somehow ended up taking the job offer of instructing her daughter once a week, I went to Ayu’s office to get my salary and obviously to spend some time with her while Sena was still in the changing room.

??I got praised for the completion of my program as Ayu proudly exclaimed how right she was for hiring me. But at the same time, she pointed out some of her criticisms on how I conducted it.

??Yep. The first half of my stay in her office wasn’t us being lovey-dovey or intimate with each other. It’s Ayu getting it on as my boss and recruiter.

??I listened to everything she had to say before defending some of my decisions. Some because I know that the other points of criticism she listed were reasonable and should be subject to change once the program resets in two weeks.

??In the end, this still wasn’t my field of expertise so I would continue to rely on Ayu’s views and at the same time, appreciate all the help she poured in for me.

??Speaking of which, that appreciation was instantly translated as soon as we switched gears. I went over to her side and picked her up in my arms and did the thing that I was confident to be really good at; making my girls feel special.

??Although Ayu’s boldness had started to increase ever since her guilt disappeared or was thrown to the back of her head, she’s still no match for me when it comes to ‘being on the offensive’.

??Because I tend always to give way to my girls’ satisfaction these past few days, I got a little heated up with how Ayu welcomed me wholeheartedly. And that’s despite still feeling the embarrassment from her yesterday’s venting of frustrations where she got to pull out what I was hiding in my pants.

??In any case, we really didn’t reach the same point as yesterday… It’s just me spoiling the passionate boxer because we might not see each other for a week again.

??It’s better to have something to remember, right? To cull the growing anticipation that led her to be a little out of control like yesterday.

??“Hey, don’t forget to contact me.” Ayu reminded me. She had a straight expression but through her eyes, I could see the hint of concern. She probably wanted to say more but she refrained from doing so. It’s her way to still keep up appearances that she’s a strong woman who wouldn’t just simply cling to me.

??Well, I had already seen her in a vulnerable state just minutes earlier. She’s affectionately clinging to me so doing this was kinda futile. Nonetheless, I nodded and put on an assuring smile to satisfy her, “Mhm. I will. Also, the photo from earlier… Keep them coming.”

??“You pervert. Don’t show it to anyone else!”

??Upon leaving Ayu’s office. I went to pick up Sena at the changing room where she said she would be waiting for me.

??However, I was surprised when Kujou Marika, even though she didn’t really need to change, was there with her, joyously conversing with her about something trivial.

??When they saw me entering, Sena forced a smile as though saying ‘I can’t get her off my back’ while Kujou-senpai crossed her arms with the same graceful nature as her lips and eyebrows raised slightly.

??“Junior-kun. I believe this is the women’s changing room. Must you be here? Are you hoping to see us in a delicate situation?”

??“I asked him to pick me up here, Marika-san.”

??“My, I apologize for my baseless assumption.”

??Although she said that, Kujou Marika’s expression didn’t change. Her eyes focused on me, keenly waiting for what my reaction would be.

??After that talk with Ichihara-san, my cautiousness around her rose once again… Even if she didn’t have any ulterior motive for being here with Sena, better to tread carefully around her.

??“No. It’s fine. I’m still in the wrong here. I’ll wait outside.”

??After saying that, I quickly left the room and like I said waited for them to come out.

??The wait wasn’t long. Five minutes later, both Sena and Kujou Marika emerged from it and the three of us left the Boxing Gym together.

??Of course, the car along with its driver and her bodyguards were already waiting for Kujou-senpai right before the entrance.

??They all seemed alert, especially when they saw her walking alongside me. I was sandwiched between the two, after all.

??In any case, they wouldn’t just go guns blazing against me when I wasn’t even doing anything. However, I spotted one of them radioing something to someone…

??Are they not from her family? Are they actually from the Ichihara's?

??Well, if Ichihara Jun caught wind of this and they successfully ID’d me as a junior in their school, I had to expect a greater disturbance in my school life starting tomorrow.

??But that’s the worst-case scenario. Who knows? Nothing might actually happen and that’s for the best.

??Right. I still have that request of pulling the girl out of Ichihara Jun’s grasp. But considering the identity of that girl and the one I assumed to order her to do that, I needed more time to prepare… That way, there wouldn’t be ensuing problems in the aftermath.

??“Junior-kun, I can give you a ride home, if you want.”

??Perhaps seeing that she wouldn’t be able to join us anymore, Kujou-senpai brought that up.

??That’s a generous offer but… even if I wasn’t worried about the girls at home, I’d rather ride with Hitomi than a bunch of men in suits like them.

??“No, but thanks for the offer, senpai.”

??“Is that so? What about you, Sena-san?”

??“I’m good, Marika-san. My house is near and Ruki will be walking me home.”

??“Hmm. I see. See you in school then, Junior-kun. And nice meeting you again, Sena.”

??Faced with the rejection of the two of us, Kujou Marika’s mood remained bright and cheerful. After saying all that she walked over to the car that was already held open by one of the men in suit. Before the car door closed, she once again looked at us and waved.

??We waved back before watching the car, along with its convoys drive away from the gym…

??Sena and I watched in slight amazement until it disappeared from our sight.

??“Ruki… You better steal her.” Sena muttered silently as soon as she recovered from it.

??“This girl, what are you saying there? I told you everything I knew about her, right? She’s either the cunning type or the devoted type. Her family was also extraordinary. And lastly, I don’t feel that way about her.”

??Upon hearing that, Sena laughed before hooking her arms on me, “You say all that but getting Otoha, Mizuki and Miho’s family didn’t stop you. And what’s that about Mirae? Isn’t she from a powerful family as well? Hmm, thinking about it, those don’t matter to you. Only the last point matters, am I right?”

??“Yes… That’s how it is for all of you. Either she makes me become interested in her or I grow fond of her. But at the moment, the interest I had towards her was whether she’d be an enemy or just a senior I get along with.”

??It’s still early to say more. But one thing is for sure… That girl came here after knowing that I am the Instructor and she acted like she didn’t know about it when we arrived at the gym.
