Stealing Spree

Chapter 60: New Day

When morning came, Miwa-nee acted like nothing happened between us. Her situation was different with Shio. Shio already knew how much I want to steal her but Miwa-nee, sheʼs just brushing it off as a joke. I want her to know how serious I am.

Apart from taking care of Minoru, she kept on teasing the two of us. Especially when we did everything together, from exercising to cooking and bathing. Well, the teasing also included what we were doing in the bath that we took our time inside.

Now, itʼs not only me and Akane living in this house but she didnʼt seem to mind it. Sheʼs fond of the little boy who somehow looked like his mother. She said the boy gives color to the somewhat sad atmosphere in the house when one of us isnʼt home.

Leaving the house to the mother and son duo, we separated again from the ticket station. I wonʼt be able to see her until after school again. Ah. When will I get used to this? Maybe not ever, unless I turned this possessiveness to something else.

Maybe I should take her to a date this weekend. Right. Like going to a cinema or shopping, Iʼll let her decide what we will do. Ah. Iʼll tell her later about this so we can plan ahead. That will be our first official date.

Err. The thing with Yae couldnʼt be called a date since we messed the order up. But yeah, Iʼll let Yae think it was one, that girl was so happy from it.

Arriving at the classroom, most of the students havenʼt arrived yet. Today weʼll have another PE class and this time with Class 4.

Err. Thatʼs the class where that 1st year of the Literature Club is. Will she still slap me if I meet her later? Letʼs hope not.

Among our group of four, Iʼm the first one, surprisingly Rindou hasnʼt arrived yet. That girl, maybe she stayed up late to finish that book. Satsuki and Sakuma are probably at their clubs. I guess Iʼll check my phone for now. When Harada comes, she will probably try and talk to me again.

There is a new mail from Otsuka-senpai that was sent yesterday. Maybe after we met upstairs.

”Onoda-kun, when I saw you two. You just finished having sex again, right?”

As I thought, this will be her question. This girl is always this curious. Ah. Maybe I should respond to her previous mail as well. She told me that she doesnʼt like someone for now but there are 2 guys whoʼre trying to court her and as expected, she said that she felt hot and curious when she was watching us back then in the club.

”Didnʼt you figure that out yesterday, senpai? Hmm what do you think? Iʼve read your answer on my previous mail, you can ask me another question.”

After sending that message, I opened the Messenger app. To my surprise, Kanzaki finally has a new message. And thereʼs another new message request. Maybe from Harada or that girl with Mori yesterday? Ah. Iʼll look later, Kanzakiʼs message first.

”Onoda, sorry I only decided now when we should start. Iʼm still a bit nervous but when I saw you earlier surrounded by girls like that, I thought you might become busy soon.”

”So before all that, I want you to teach me. But make no mistake, there will be no practical lesson. You just need to tell me what to do in various situations.”

”Ah. Right, letʼs do it this Wednesday, can you come with me to the library?”

Her message was cut into 3 parts and was sent yesterday. This girl. She thought I wonʼt have time to teach her anymore so she finally decided when to do it. But no practical lesson? Thatʼs a shame. I thought I could steal her slowly through practical lessons.

”If thereʼs no practical lesson, isnʼt it better to teach you here over chat?”

Kanzaki was already at her seat and when I sent my reply, she flinched again because of the sudden vibration. She took her phone out and typed her reply.

”No. I also thought of that but I donʼt think I can learn a lot if itʼs over here”

”I see. Then okay. Iʼll go with you tomorrow. By the way, can you tell me whoʼs the guy youʼre dating?”

”Huh? Why do you want to know?”

”Well, just curious. Itʼs fine if you donʼt tell me.”

I canʼt guess who it is, theyʼre too good at hiding it in class. They probably donʼt interact here but only where no one can see or know them. Why are they this cautious?

”Sorry. I canʼt tell you without his permission.”

”Itʼs fine. So, have you tried kissing again?”

”No, not yet. Not until after you teach me.”

”Ah. Why do you even want me to teach you? Isnʼt it better to practice by yourselves?”

Right. I have to act like a good guy for now. Though she knew I was kissing Kana and maybe more. She didnʼt talk about her again. This girl is too diligent. Does she want their kiss to be perfect at the start?

”I want it to be memorable for us. Since it will be our first.”

”Eh? I thought youʼve already done it before.”

”Not yet. Weʼre both too nervous.”

”I see. Iʼll teach you well.”

I shouldnʼt tell her that I want to steal her yet. Maybe after a few lessons. She might ask another lesson when theyʼre done with the kiss. Ah. Right. I will be acting as her tutor regarding those kinds of things between couples.

Now that I think of it, is the guy sheʼs dating someone shy? Who is it? Why canʼt he take initiative? If he keeps doing that, he wonʼt know that Iʼve already stolen his girl.

Ah. I shouldnʼt worry about her guy. I have to prepare for those lessons.

Our exchange ended at that.

Next I opened the message request and saw that it really was from Harada.

”ʼSup Onoda!”

This girl. When she couldnʼt get a response from me, this is where she turned.

Err. She said yesterday that she was drawn by my mysteriousness and I was like a caged beast. So, which of those two made her this interested?

”Youʼre really persistent. So, what is it this time?”

Surprisingly she immediately replied. This girl. Is she currently on the train? Sheʼs so easy-going.

”Oh nice! You replied! I thought youʼll totally ignore me here as well”

”You know, I just donʼt like to be put in the spotlight like that, so please refrain from doing that.”

”Roger! Then talk to me here. If not, Iʼll always bug you until you talk to me.”

”No problem. But even here, I canʼt talk to you all the time. I only occasionally open this.”

This troublesome girl. At least she will now curb her interest in me outside. Should I start working on her here?

”Thatʼs totally enough!”

”Then, refrain from greeting me at class. Iʼll greet you here now. Good morning Chii.”

”What the heck?! Thatʼs totally funny Onoda. Aight, Good morning to you too. And you finally called me Chii.”

”You will soon bring that up anyway.”

Certainly, if I didnʼt call her the way she wanted me to, sheʼll bring it up again.

”Youʼre totally interesting Onoda! I canʼt believe Iʼll be laughing this much early in the morning. Lol”

”Whatʼs funny?”

”Ah. Nevermind. You just ruined it.”

”Alright, Iʼll close this now.”

Not waiting for her reply, I turned my phone off. Her thought process still eludes me, I donʼt know how to deal with that. If sheʼs a normal gyaru, itʼll be easy, you just have to please them to think theyʼre great and all but Harada. Sheʼs different, it feels like sheʼs just acting like a gyaru. But well, if sheʼs like that since middle school then it mightʼve already grown into her.

After a while, Rindou arrived. She looked like someone who didnʼt get enough sleep.

Am I right at my guess?

”Good morning.”

I greeted her first for a change when she settled on her seat.

”Ah. Good morning, Onoda. I overslept.”

”Yeah, I can see bags under your eye.”

”E-eh? There are bags?”

”Well, itʼs not that noticeable so itʼs fine.”

She took out a mirror to check it. When she saw the bags, she immediately buried her face on her desk to hide it.

”Uuh. You said itʼs unnoticeable but you noticed it yourself.”

”Ah. Itʼs only me. Others wonʼt notice that.”

”B-but itʼs you. I donʼt care if others noticed something like that on me.”

”Err. Donʼt worry, youʼre still cute even with it.”

Hearing my words she buried her face even further. Her ears also started to turn red. This girl.

Ah. Iʼm kind of dense, she likes me so she wants to always appear fine in front of me.

Her gloom is almost gone because of my continued conversation with her. She probably needs a little haircut to shorten her fringes, that way her attractive face will be visible to everyone.

”P-please donʼt tease me, Onoda.”

”Alright. Iʼm sorry Rindou.”

”Eh? N-no, you donʼt have to.”

”I was a bit insensitive. Noticing that was uncalled for.”

She then raised her head again and shook her head.

”No. Iʼm even a bit happy since you were properly looking at me.”

”Ah. Of course, weʼre friends, right?”

”Y-yes.”

Since she already finished the book, she brought out another with an unfamiliar and uninteresting title. Well, sheʼs always with her books, maybe sheʼs reading to ease her mind.

Haruko will surely start with her later. Maybe Iʼll see a glimpse of it later when I visit their club. That book was her bait. It might help those like Rindou to open up but she will use that chance to take them for herself. Thatʼs probably how she got 7 of them.

I donʼt have a lot of plans today so maybe I could take it easy and rest. It would be good to have this kind of relaxing day once in a while.

Err. Wait. Am I jinxing it? Hopefully not.
