Stealing Spree

Chapter 728 - Stubborn Streak

Time quickly passed. It’s inevitable but the time to cuddle the resilient yet sweet girl had to end. Apart from that kiss which she initiated, nothing else happened. Well, we’re tangled with each other for almost an hour. It’s already a miracle that none of us sweated despite the rising temperature of our bodies.

Surely, her scent was already stuck in me and my girls would notice it easily. Nonetheless, there’s probably no time where I didn’t have a faint scent of my girls on me.

Just during lunch, I spent that time with Chii. Satsuki and Aya noticed that. Aya smiled in Chii’s direction while Satsuki clicked her tongue in annoyance.

Well, she’s mostly annoyed with me because I disappeared and showed up with another girl’s scent.

That’s fine though… She got her revenge when I escorted her.

On our way out, I tried holding onto Arisa-senpai but she pushed me away, saying that she could now walk on her own. The medicinal ointment had probably set in at this time but still, her walking pace was kind of stiff that I couldn’t help but worriedly look after her.

Arisa-senpai hated that though. She pouted and hastened her pace, leaving me behind but she shouted ‘Thank you’ and ‘see you’ before she disappeared from my gaze.

Our school’s skirt regulation was an inch below the knees so if she stood still, her bandaid-plastered kneecaps wouldn’t be visible.

When I asked her what she would tell Izumi-senpai about that injury, she told me that she’d honestly tell her that it’s my fault. I intentionally put on a shocked expression at that for her satisfaction. And sure enough, she laughed heartily seconds later and told me that I didn’t need to worry.

The bad air around us that started from her trying to run away dispelled completely through that.

Since I didn’t actively chase after Arisa-senpai, I ran into Hayashi-sensei at the stairs who was descending from the third floor of the Administration Building. Most likely, from her office.

Her eyebrows raised and her eyes had a suspicious glint as she scanned me from bottom to top. Since she’s aware of my relationship with Shizu, she probably recalled the number of times I ran into her in the infirmary bringing different patients, two of which were girls and another one with a girl; Rae, Hina and Satsuki when Sakuma collapsed.

I greeted her normally and respectfully but that didn’t ease the crease on her forehead.

Well, it’s normal to be suspicious but I soon found out that I was overthinking things.

She soon asked me if I was looking for her and why I didn’t go straight to her office upstairs.

There’s that agreement where I could come to her to be coached once a week when Shizu introduced me to her but I hadn’t looked for her last week. And that’s the reason for that facial expression.

Either way, I told her honestly that it’s not that. I narrated about me treating Arisa-senpai’s wound.

She’d find the bloodied cotton in the bin anyway so it’s better to come out clean than be suspected by her.

Not only is she the mysterious school nurse – scratch that, she’s not mysterious anymore – but she’s also the School Director. Hayashi-sensei outclassed the School Principal who she admitted to being just a figurehead so that she didn’t need to appear in public.

What a great way to slack off as an adult.

But she’s that powerful, I guess. Shizu was even calling her as her mentor. That’s why I at least have to be respectful. There might really come a time when I would need her expertise.

Hearing my narration of the events, she apologized for not being there for the wounded.

At least, I appreciate that sense of duty.

She then told me to call for her when a similar situation happened since I knew where to find her.

I acknowledged it, bowed at her and left.

But just before I could escape, she asked another girl, “Is it another girl?”

Yep. As it turns out, she still managed to be suspicious.

Since I got stopped by Hayashi-sensei for a few minutes, the number of students I ran into at the School Building was already less than when the bell had just chimed.

I went to our classroom to get my bag and check if some of my girls were still there.

I found Nami and Hina. However, they’re on cleaning duty. They sneakily ran after me and pulled me somewhere obscured.

Obscured would surely be a wrong term, we’re still in the hallway after all. There’s just no student passing by yet.

Nonetheless, the two stole a moment to satisfy their need for a little intimacy that they couldn’t get earlier. On another note, the main reason why they ran out was to tell me that I should go first.

Uh… The two predicted that I would wait for them so I got scolded by them instead.

“Ruu, you’re always like this. You remind us to act normally but you’re the one breaking it by waiting for us. Don’t say you’re not doing that. We talked to the others and they’re saying the same thing.”

“I agree, Ruki. We appreciate your love and we’re not trying to push you away. We want to help keep our relationship hidden. It’s the thought that counts. Is that incorrect?”

Faced with the two whose eyes were riddled with both worry and affection, I naturally surrendered.

They’re right on the money. I was always the one breaking the setup we were putting in place.

“You’re both right but can I—”

Before I could finish my sentence, they both cut me off.

“No buts!” Nami cried out before grabbing my head and kissing me once more, this time as aggressive as possible. It's as if she wanted me to swallow whatever I was about to say.

“So this is the standard of your stubbornness, it's a bit icky but we can't help but love this side of you.” Hina, on the other hand, shook her head and laughed at me.

If someone would come out at this moment, they’d definitely see me being ganged up by two girls as if they’re bullying me. But if they look closely, I was getting the experience that most of the boys wouldn’t experience in their lifetime.

Alright. That’s just me bragging. I truly appreciated these two girls’ concerns so I succumbed to it.

After Nami let go of my lips, I chased after hers and returned it three-fold, like a certain chauffeur. And once I’m done, I naturally didn’t forget Hina. The girl was already expecting it so it went as smoothly as the first one. I grabbed her waist and pulled her close to me before sucking on her tasty lips and tongue.

Satisfied with it, the two girls ran back to our classroom while sporting blushes on their faces.

I cautiously looked around just in case someone saw all that. Fortunately, the Goddess of Luck graced us. It’s still empty. Or maybe someone was just hiding adeptly and there’s no way for me to find that out.

That would be proven if a new rumor makes its round tomorrow,

In any case, I still released a sigh of relief and watched over Nami and Hina’s back before walking out of the School Building.

It’s time to attend to my fixed routine; dropping by my girls’ clubs.. Once I’m done with that, it will be Student Council duty once more.
