Stealing Spree

Chapter 137: Club Activity

The classes ended soon. With Satsuki and Sakuma going to their respective clubs, Aya and I went to the Club Building together.

Dropping her off to the Book Club, I greeted Haruko first before going up to the Literature Club. Ah. Himeko and Mina were with her so I also greeted them.

I told Himeko about Itou and how I will accompany her here to meet her. After hearing that, Himeko was so happy that she even threw herself towards me.

Thatʼs really an unusual reaction for sisters who lived under the same roof. Whatʼs the real story behind them?

Though Mina was still baffled at Himekoʼs sudden change of heart to allow herself to be stolen by me, her hostility towards me lessened when I stopped actively chasing after her. Once I have more free time, I also want to know about her, she might be as interesting as Himeko.

About the other three, I guess Iʼll leave it to chance. If I encounter them somewhere, Iʼll use that chance to get to know them. Haruko wanted them to stay with her but I guess once the two third years graduated, they would also drift apart from her.

When I entered the Literature Club, Kana who was silently writing something immediately noticed me. Her face brightened as a smile bloomed on her lips. Though we displayed our affection last Friday, it will be rude to do it again during club hours, Kana also knew that so she only reached for my hand as she dragged me to sit next to her, Ishida-senpai nodded at me while Otsuka-senpai was curiously looking at us.𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Fujii was as always, absorbing herself to reading. Coincidentally, I sat next to her. But when I greeted her, she was at first surprised before she scolded me not to disturb her when sheʼs taking in new knowledge.

”Mirae-chan is always like that, Ruki. But sheʼs a good girl.”

Kana giggled as she watched how I was scolded by Fujii.

Hearing that, Fujii turned red from her seat.

”I know. I actually got to know her last week and found how interesting she is.”

Kana will eventually know how I had made a weekly appointment with her so saying it here now wonʼt make a difference.

”I see. Is she also?”

Though she didnʼt finish her question, I know what she wanted to ask.

I shook my head as an answer before clarifying it with her.

”Not yet, but sheʼll help me by teaching me knowledge she knew and Iʼll help her on trying not to base everything on her knowledge.”

”Right, she relies too much on her knowledge. Ruki, youʼre helping another girl again, you wouldnʼt do that if you didnʼt like her, right?”

Though her voice was low when in a silent place like this, thereʼs no way the Otsuka-senpai and Ishida-senpai didnʼt hear it.

But yeah, Otsuka-senpai was already too curious about me and I still havenʼt talked to her alone yet, she still owed me three questions while Ishida-senpai, though sheʼs the most normal here, what happened on that Sunday couldnʼt seem to leave her mind.

”Err… Now that you mention it, I do like her.”

”You playboy…”

Kana pouted and bloated her cheeks with air. Sheʼs not really upset but sheʼs acting like it. Did she want me to pamper her?

Poking her cheeks with my finger, I whispered to her ears.

”I wonʼt be able to restrain myself if you acted cutely like this, Kana.”

”Then donʼt. Hug me, Ruki.”

She looked up at me as she pulled on my arm while saying that. This show of affection from her, itʼs really pleasant.

”They will feel uncomfortable, you see. Iʼll hug you all you want after our club activity.”

”Promise?”

”Un, I promise. Iʼll also walk you to the bus station again.”

”Good. Iʼm satisfied.”

Kana then giggled again as she leaned her head on me, letting herself be comfortable.

”To see Kana-senpai like this… Youʼre amazing Onoda-kun.”

Otsuka-senpai finally couldnʼt contain herself. What did she mean though? Kana never acted this cutely with Kenji?

”Ah. Right. Goto didnʼt quit the club but he said he wonʼt attend for a while.”

Ishida-senpai then interjected as she relays information about Kenji.

”I really thought he would quit, after what happened to them.”

Otsuka-senpaiʼs gaze then traveled to us.

”Uhm. I didnʼt mean for him to quit, he treated me quite well when weʼre still together. However, as you can see, I couldnʼt lie anymore, I like Ruki, no, I love him.”

Kana stood up and declared in front of them, even the busy Fujii was surprised at her declaration. Otsuka-senpai was tongue-tied while Ishida-senpai had her mouth opened as she couldnʼt find the words she could say.

This girl. She confessed her feelings for me this way…

”I love you too, Kana.”

Hearing that from her, I stopped restraining myself. I pulled her back down to her seat and hugged her tight in front of them.

They all turned their gazes away. Ah no, Otsuka-senpai kept looking as we basically became all over each other.

Kana looked up at me and smiled cutely before silently mouthing the words she just said. After clearing up the thing with Kenji, Kana became like this with me. Since she already declared her love for me, I wouldnʼt disappoint her. Dropping my lips on hers, we kissed in front of them once again.

We stopped eventually though and apologized to Ishida-senpai and others.

After that, the club activity resumed. Ishida-senpai drew from the same bowl full of folded papers back when I was trying out the club. Reading whatʼs on the paper, the activity was decided to be writing a two-sentence story which could deliver a necessary impact.

Fujii presented hers first it reads as, ”Living my life in pursuit of knowledge, I thought it was perfect. But then came him telling me to think for myself which made it brighten.”

Thatʼs about us. This girl, she really started thinking after that day. Iʼm glad seeing this change in her, though her habit of taking in more knowledge is still there, seeing her make progress like this is satisfying.

Then Otsuka-senpai presented hers, ”There she was, curious as a cat. However, when she witnessed something she didnʼt expect, she ran as fast as a mouse running from a cat.”

It sounds like itʼs about her at first but she changed the second sentence to someone giving up on her curiosity. Unlike her who was bested by her curiosity as she watched on in earnest. Even now, sheʼs still curious about me.

”It was supposed to be the perfect day. But then he came in and shattered everything I believed in.”

Err... Why do their sentences somehow point to me? This oneʼs from Kana and it perfectly explained what happened to us. Me catching them on that day and her belief of genuinely liking Kenji was shattered.

When itʼs my turn to present mine, all eyes were on me, I didnʼt have any experience in this so I only wrote what first popped out inside my mind. ”Though my desire was what led me to you. Falling for you was genuine and true.”

Upon hearing that, Kana blushed profusely as she silently pinched my hand under the table. Though it sounded cheesy and cringe, the other three didnʼt comment on it.

It might have applied to Kana but it could also be applied to all my girls who I really fell in love with. And maybe to Fujii as well if what we had between us evolved to that. But since only Kana was the one I could call mine here, it naturally got directed to her.

Wrapping up the club activity like that, Ishida-senpai collected the paper we wrote from and stored it somewhere. I thought she? also presented what she wrote but I guess she exempted herself from the activity today.

After that, we were now free to do whatever we wanted. I talked to Kana about her novel and also I mentioned about the book enthusiast who was helping me. She asked who it was even though she already had a guess that it might be one of my girls, she expressed her desire to meet her.

Half an hour later, we stood up and told them weʼre leaving. Since I still have somewhere I have to go to, I told her that I might leave the club early. Though reluctant, she agreed for her to go home early if I will spend some time with her, alone.

Leaving the three girls there, Fujii told me to check my Messenger later. She has already decided the schedule for our meet-up.

Kana held my hand as we went down the stairs. I planned to bring her to one of the empty clubrooms where we could spend our time together and what I chose was where the President brought me earlier. That room has a sofa we could relax and maybe do more than relaxing.

Of course, I made sure no one saw us entering it, with the SC President lurking somewhere. I told Kana that we should take caution when in public like this.

After entering that room, Kana immediately clung to me. Her well-developed breasts pressing onto my body immediately triggered a reaction from me.

”I missed being this close to you, Ruki.”

She whispered as she looked up at me longingly.

”You confessed like that, does that mean my Kana will stay by my side?”

I caressed her face and traced her lips with my finger.

Though Iʼm asking for the obvious, I just wanted to hear it from her directly.

”Un. Iʼm truly yours now, Ruki. Kenji, he told me he wanted to start over earlier but I rejected him again. Thatʼs probably why he chose not to go to the club.”

Ah. He still hasnʼt given up. At least he didnʼt do something drastic.

”If he did something, donʼt hesitate to tell me, okay? Iʼll always be here for you. I wonʼt let him bother you or even put you in danger. I stole you from him and he will surely not take that lightly.”

Iʼve already prepared for that. If he did something to my Kana, who knows what I can do to him. As long as he behaves himself and accepts his loss, we could still stay civilized in the club. We will surely meet soon so the next time he sees me, it wonʼt be me acting like a timid junior like before.

”Un. Iʼll keep that in mind. I also expected him to do something. What I did might be cruel but this is for the better. Rumi. I know she really likes him but she was restraining herself for us. I told her if she still feels the same then she should confess to him now before we graduated. I know it might be just my selfish wish for him to be occupied by other thoughts but I also want Rumi to find her happiness.”

But Ishida-senpai couldnʼt take me out of her mind as well. Err... it might just be her being concerned about Kana. She knew I already had Yae. Maybe soon, she will also ask to talk to me about this.

”I see. So thatʼs probably why she followed him to that hotel before.”

No girl in their right mind will follow someone to a love hotel if theyʼre not interested, right?

”Now that you mentioned it, who were you with when you saw them?”

Kana as if a light bulb was suddenly lit inside her head, asked the thing that I havenʼt told her yet.

”Err… promise you wonʼt get angry?”

”As long as you take me on a date, I donʼt mind sharing you. But Ruki, I also want to feel special.”

With her pout and bloated cheeks again, Kana hugged me tighter. Sheʼs not restraining herself now, openly showing me all this affection, I really love this.

”My Kana is already special. When do you want to go?”

As long as they ask, Iʼll do it for them. Well, if I also feel like it, Iʼll ask them out, not just for Kana but for all the girls I have.

”When youʼre free. Iʼll wait for it, okay? So, who is it?”

Knowing I was a bit busy, she didnʼt give a definite date and let me decide it for us. I nodded at her as I started thinking when will be the best time to take her out on a date.

”Itʼs a girl who I stole from middle school. Sheʼs from another school.”

At one point, if they continue staying with me then theyʼll all meet each other. Err, I wonder what will happen if I gather all of them in one place? Will it be a paradise or… Ah. Letʼs not think negatively. I want them all to get along to each other but yeah, thereʼs bound to be competition no matter what I do.

”I see. Sheʼs lucky she met you first.”

Kana said in a low voice, lamenting the fact that she met me too late.

”Donʼt be like that, I found you on my first day here and I guess Iʼm the one who got lucky this time. I got my adorable Kana.”

Pinching both of her cheeks, I tried to ease her up. Thereʼs nothing we can do about that. If I met her during middle school, I wouldnʼt really notice her since sheʼll just be a cute and shy girl at that time when my desire ran rampant.

”Muu… stop teasing me.”

Pouting again, Kana tried reaching for my cheeks but I dodged it by moving my head back.

”Iʼm not teasing you, Iʼm really lucky to have found you.”

After saying that, I let go of her cheeks and circled my arms around her back. Pulling her closer to me, I lifted her like that in which she immediately held onto my shoulders while her legs circled to cling onto me.

Sheʼs so light so lifting her up like this seems so easy. Taking her lips again, I walked us from the door to the sofa that was waiting for us. For the time we had left, Iʼll make her feel more special.
