Chapter 593: A Short Date

Chapter 593: A Short Date

Spending the rest of the lunch break with Satsuki, we ended up walking around the back of the school grounds without any destination in mind.

During that time, what we had was a short date wherein we just enjoyed each other’s company. Naturally, I kept on teasing her which she returned by acting annoyed and rejecting my advances whenever I would try to repent on teasing her.

However, her rejection would only last for no more than a few seconds before accepting me again. As much as I enjoyed her reaction when she’s feeling embarrassed, Satsuki also enjoyed my repenting acts.

Halfway through that short walk, we found an old bench placed under a seemingly older tree. It was at the northwestern side of the school grounds and near the wall. The structures around it were also somewhat dilapidated. This part of the school was like the location of the old club building in Akane’s School where I met Miho this past Monday.

After dusting that bench, we both sat down next to each other just enjoying the shade brought about by the tree’s lush leaves.

I checked and there were no nearby students, especially at this time of the day. And perhaps this part of the school grounds was already forgotten by most. But that’s probably because there were better places the students could go to.

In any case, the place was perfect for us. Perhaps I could also bring the others here if we wanted some private place that’s not an empty room or clubroom.

Since I stopped teasing her, I took the chance to ask her if I could lay my head down on her lap.

And without any fuss, Satsuki put her legs together and brushed them as if removing any dust particles that could still be there before grabbing my head by herself, pulling me down to it.

It sounded forceful but just watching Satsuki’s ecstatic expression beneath her natural grumpy expression was thoroughly satisfying.

Satsuki always wanted to do that for me and now that she got the chance, she didn’t shy away from it and even made it so that I wouldn’t be able to take back my words.

“This doesn’t mean I want you to keep using my lap, alright?! Don’t misunderstand, idiot Ruki.” Satsuki blurted out as soon as our gaze met when she lowered her head to get a good look at me.

Such a classic tsundere line.

“I understand, your Highness.” My lips curved into a smile naturally. Following that, I raised one of my hands to grab hers before placing it on my chest. “What about this? Can I hold your hand?”

“Of course, you can, idiot. But don’t get carried away!”

“Mhm. Copy.”

At this point, Satsuki’s other hand brushed over my face, wordlessly telling me to close my eyes. And so, I did.

A few seconds later, that hand returned to my head, brushing my hair gently.

While feeling extremely comfortable with her heavenly thigh pillow and her hands, I opened my mouth to start another conversation with her.

We talked about other miscellaneous things that’s not related to our complicated relationship. For example, there’s her hobby of collecting or making keychains. Despite her grumpy attitude that was being perceived by most of the other students, she’s great with designing things. Our lemonade keychain attached to our phones is one example of that.

She then confessed how it became her pastime whenever she’s having a break with basketball.

And due to that, I told her that I wanted to watch her do it this coming Thursday or Friday. After much deliberation on her part, she silently agreed before muttering softly, “It will be boring so don’t expect too much.”

There’s also our topic about my experience as an instructor at the Boxing Gym. Naturally, I cut out the parts where I acted like a pervert or when I was focused on my girls. I told her how satisfying it was to see my students understanding my lessons and getting the hang of the exercise.

In the end, Satsuki told me that she would come and join this weekend even if it’s just one lesson. Obviously, I didn’t discourage her and copied the words she said about her hobby.

As time continued to pass, our topic also arrived about my parents that would return tomorrow. I asked her if she wanted to meet them and without even a second later, Satsuki strongly voiced her willingness.

“Are you sure they’re supportive of your multiple relationships?” She probed right after.

“My mother is already dying to meet all of you but we can’t really know for sure. If I’m not wrong, the two will probably test my resolve about all of you.” I answered honestly with what I was thinking. “I am confident that I will pass that and I... I really want to introduce you to them.”

Satsuki nodded at my answer and said, “When the time comes and my family finally moved on from that incident... I will definitely bring you to meet them. Don’t you dare be a coward, alright?”

That’s right. They still hadn’t moved on yet from that incident years ago. If not for that, I had long presented myself to her parents.

“Absolutely. I’ll let them know how much I love you.”

Satsuki covered my eyes to hide her blushing face, “Idiot... Rest now. We still have a few minutes. I’ll wake you up.”

Although I still wanted to tease her, I listened to her this time.

With the level of comfort I was feeling, it didn’t take long for me to truly doze off to sleep. And although faint, I listened to Satsuki humming a song while lovingly brushing my hair and clasping our hands tighter.

When I opened my eyes again, I felt the soft and moist lips of Satsuki pressing on mine. And with her most beautiful smile, she greeted me. “Good morning, sleepyhead. Stand up and let’s find a place to change.”

“Can I ask for one more kiss?” I teased but I was met with her fingers pinching my lips together. Following that, she forcefully lifted my head off her lap as she stood up, acting annoyed.

Nonetheless, I followed after her and hugged her from behind. And as if expecting what I would do, Satsuki turned her head to the side, giving me easier access to her lips.

While both bearing a very fluffy feeling in our chest, we went off to find a place to change into our PE uniforms.

Ironically, we returned to the Gymnasium and used their club’s locker room, stuffing my uniform alongside hers inside her own locker.

To avoid suspicion, we separated from the side door and went inside the main entrance of the Gymnasium from different directions. Satsuki used the shorter route while I circled to the back of the Gymnasium before traversing the other side to reach the main entrance.

Although some of our classmates and those from Class 4 were wondering why I showed up from that side, none of them suspected anything.

I only shrugged and made up an excuse which they easily accepted.

Unlike the two joint classes with Class 1 to 4 that we held ever since the Mentor Program started, this time, we’re back to only two classes.

Well, last week was also held on Tuesday rather than Wednesday which was supposed to give way for the Mentor Program. But they messed that one up because of a simple excuse; Orimura-sensei wasn’t available for Wednesday and no other teacher could help Eguchi-sensei.

But since the Mentor Program wasn’t truly affected by that PE Class last week where I also helped the two PE teachers, Eguchi-sensei decided to try again today if the same result would be achieved.

If it became a success then... employing Orimura-sensei’s help whose real designation was for 2nd years wouldn’t be needed anymore.

“Let’s start. I see that you’re all prepared... All of you, go and run outside to warm up your bodies.” Eguchi-sensei, with her arms crossed, started as soon as we finished our roll call.

“Onoda-kun, stay behind. I have something to ask from you.”

And as expected, before I could follow everyone, she stopped me. Those who heard it, be it from our class or Rae’s class, had an amused expression on their faces.

I even heard their whispers before they disappeared from the main entrance, “Shiori-sensei’s Pet is also becoming Eguchi-sensei’s Pet. How unlucky can one student be?”

Unlucky, huh? If only they knew.

Anyway, since she specifically asked me to stay, I remained standing and waited for the PE Teacher.

To my surprise, Eguchi-sensei wore an apologetic expression as she addressed me.

She also heard those whispers.

“Uh... I’m sorry for that, Onoda-kun... You got a new nickname because of me...”
