Stealing Spree

Chapter 123: First Date(2)

By the time that Mascot show ended, Minoru was already hungry. Akane, like a mother, chided him as we went through waves of people to the food court.

Akane was also hungry so I guess weʼll have an early lunch. Besides, itʼs already near 12 oʼclock. We have just arrived and havenʼt ridden any amusement rides yet.

I thought she would soon be annoyed by Minoru but Akane was all smiles as she took care of him. Thereʼs a huge possibility that heʼs my son but without confirmation with Miwa-nee, I wonʼt go there yet. Maybe sheʼs seeing our likeness hence she could be patient with him and itʼs not like sheʼs faking it.

I really like seeing her smile like that, even if this date didnʼt turn out that romantic for us, just seeing her enjoy the day was enough.

After eating our lunch, Minoru got his energy back as he led us. Yes, heʼs the one leading us on where he wanted to go. Since we couldnʼt just leave him alone, Akane and I followed him and rode the rides he wanted to.

Of course, only those rides which allowed children. Sometimes Akane or I will ride with him but oftentimes we will just watch him enjoy it with the other children in the park. Like a married couple watching their child enjoy our visit to this park, we took pictures that will serve as our memory for this day.

”Husband, thank you.”

Akane suddenly muttered at my side.

I was holding her hand as we both watched Minoru play with the other kids, this time itʼs not a ride but an area where they could play, there were all sorts of different kinds of recreational equipment that were designed for children.

”Hmm? Why? I should be sorry, this is our date but weʼre both stuck looking out for Minoru.”

Yeah, itʼs supposed to be romantic but this isnʼt that bad. That boy was already stuck in our house for a few days after coming here. A change of pace to unwind like this is good for him, and also for his mother.

”Donʼt say that, I really enjoy it, being here with you and looking out for him. When we have our own child in the future, I want us to be like this as well. Take him to places like this and watch him grow up.”

Thereʼs a sparkle in Akaneʼs eyes as she starts talking about our future child. Sheʼs genuinely wishing for it. Not with anyone else, but with me.

”Right. Weʼll do that. And we can go back here next time, just the two of us. I wanted to ride on some with you, you know?”

Especially those rides where she will surely cling to me. Even if she always does that whenever weʼre together, the experience of enjoying things together is different. We couldnʼt just fill our daily lives with erotic situations.

”Iʼve always wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel with you, husband. With only the two of us.”

Akane then looked towards the direction where the Ferris Wheel is. Looking over the city from up there, with only the two of us, of course, itʼs bound to be romantic. There were even some who will be taken by the situation and do something erotic inside it but thatʼs something dangerous, you know? I wouldnʼt risk it if ever. Just enjoying the view with her and a little romantic moment will be enough.

”Huh? Shimizu-chan?”

Suddenly a manʼs voice called out to Akane, we both turned to the direction of the voice. There lies a guy not far from our age. He looks handsome with his attire and the way he carries himself. Like those cool guys often depicted in anime or movies. And by the looks heʼs giving Akane, I immediately determined that heʼs one of those guys aiming for her.

Heʼs not alone though. Thereʼs a girl beside him and I think I saw her back in middle school, a senior. Sheʼs a looker but also a loner back then. But sheʼs not considered an introvert, she just didnʼt want to associate herself to others, an antisocial, I guess?

Did she change?

”Hayami-senpai, Matsumoto-senpai.”

Hayami-senpai referred to the girl and this guy is Matsumoto-senpai.

Well, his eyes were only focused on Akane and it seems heʼs treating it like Iʼm not here with Akane.

”What are you doing here?”

Matsumoto asked.

This guy, isnʼt it obvious? I know he purposely said that to irritate me but yeah, he doesnʼt know Akane that well.

”Senpai. Are you just blind or what? Canʼt you see this?”

Akane with an annoyed tone raised our hands that were clasped together.

I could see his eyebrows twitch as he finally decided to stop ignoring my presence.

”O-of course I could see that. Who is he?”

Not having a choice but to acknowledge it, eh? Well, letʼs see what this guy will do. To walk in like this. And what about Hayami-senpai whoʼs with him? Is she okay with this?

”My husband, Ruki.”

Akane answered in a matter-of-fact way. After that, she clung to me and showed him how close we are. This guy was just acting ignorant, of course. He thought he could try to hit on Akane and appeal to her with his looks.

”Huh? What husband?”

Confused, he alternately looked at us. Iʼm still not inclined to butt in since Akane could handle him by herself. Sheʼs really a different person in their eyes when it concerns me.

”Iʼm sure youʼre aware of the rumors about us. Everything about it is all true, so please, can you stop acting ignorant?”

Akane glared at him and that made him flinch but he still continued, maybe to regain his dignity? I donʼt know, these guys were often prideful and full of ego. They wouldnʼt rest until they got back at the other person.

”Matsumoto, isnʼt that enough? Are you here with me or not?”

Hayami-senpai finally interjected. And with the same annoyed tone as Akane.

”Ah. Tomo-chan. Itʼs not like that. I saw a junior and thought of greeting her.”

Now stuck between a rock and a hard place which he put himself through, Matsumoto tried explaining to her.

”Oh please. I went here with you because of how you begged. This is enough, Iʼm going home.”

Did he beg? Err. Okay, that oneʼs funny. For sure theyʼre on a date, for him to suddenly lose focus, any girl will be annoyed by that.

”Ah. Hayami-senpai, do you still remember me?”

Now choosing this time to further bury this guy under, I approached Hayami-senpai.

I first looked at Akane and surely, she understood my intention. Itʼs not like Iʼm putting this girl on my target list but sheʼs interesting enough. The Hayami-senpai I remembered was cold enough that no one dared to approach her. If there were some, they were immediately shut down.

”Youʼre often scurrying around with Fujimura at the library, of course, I remember you.”

Right, Yae and I were often discussing things at the library and thatʼs where she always stays. Yae also has a good relationship with her but yeah, you couldnʼt call it a friend. That girl was too antisocial. To think that she would accept this guyʼs invitation, itʼs either sheʼs starting to change herself or sheʼs kind of attracted to him. Either way, I guess she already had enough of him after this kind of pathetic show he presented.

”I see. Iʼm glad Hayami-senpai is this easy to talk to now. Please take care of Akane as a junior.”

Flattering her then asking for a favor. Well, itʼs unnecessary, theyʼre of different years so their encounters will be minimal.

”Huh? Youʼre a bit cheeky, donʼt you think so?”

Itʼs not just a bit if you ask my girls. But yeah, she really changed. If this was before, she will only take a glance before she ignores you.

”Err. What do you think, Akane?”

I turned to Akane to answer for me. Matsumoto was already speechless. Now he will be left without a date because of how stupid he is.

”Yes, you are. Nice to meet you Hayami-senpai.”

Akane answered before greeting Hayami-senpai again. She only knew her by name so using this opportunity to get acquainted with her, Akane greeted her politely.

”I see. Nice to meet you too. You also need to put a better leash on your man or he will bite anyone.”

If only she knew Iʼve already bitten a lot, sheʼll be in for a surprise.

Hayami-senpai left after that, leaving the frozen Matsumoto where heʼs standing.

Soon enough, Minoru finished playing and went out of the playground. Likewise, we left the still frozen Matsumoto there.

He ruined his own date. Idiot.

That little episode was soon forgotten by us since itʼs not even noteworthy. Trying to hit on my Akane? Letʼs see. Iʼll deal with all of them when I visit her school.

Time passed and itʼs almost 5 oʼclock, after playing for almost the whole time weʼre here, Minoru was already tired as I carried him on my back.

This trip to the Amusement Park was still enjoyable at least. We all walked to the train station and found Miwa-nee waiting there. After seeing the exhausted Minoru who already fell asleep with a smile on his face, she thanked us and told us to take care. We wonʼt be going home tonight, after all.

After sending the mother and child off, weʼre finally alone again. And the next stop will be the theater before going to the hotel.

Taking her hand to mine, we strolled along the streets first and at times we ate some snacks on the food stalls Akane took interest in. Our day still hasnʼt ended so I wanted to make her feel more special. Tomorrow, my focus will be on another girl again but this time, Iʼm all hers.
