Stealing Spree

Chapter 348: The Awkward Club (2)

When Nami and Hina showed up, the two pulled me inside the clubroom drawing confused gazes from Izumi and Arisa-senpai.

Naturally, itʼs not the time to confront Ogawa yet.

Upon looking at Namiʼs eyes, her quirk was possibly working this time again.

I only told them that I would be seeing them before they go home, not to enter the room when I had just made things somewhat complicated for the members of the club except the silent guy Taku and the fujoshi Kikuchi.

Nonetheless, with me entering the room, the slightly suspicious time that Saki spent at the door with me was completely forgotten.

All of their eyes were all focused on me after all.

Arisa-senpai was looking at me with a somewhat complicated expression while Izumi-senpai was throwing me a hateful glare which instantly subsided when our gazes met.

I guess what I did earlier also made her start to think for herself.

As for Arisa-senpai, when our gazes met, I nodded at her and smiled slightly before turning my focus back to Nami.

Ogawa whoʼs stone-faced before I entered, started trembling at his seat while Tadano just ignored my existence.

Then thereʼs Kikuchi whoʼs not looking at me but Hina, complete with a meaningful smile. Sheʼs surely wondering why Hina also went to the door to pull me in.

As for the silent guy Taku, he nodded at me but his gaze then went to Saki who was following behind us.

Ignoring the awkwardness that was building up, I put on an innocent expression as I greeted them.

”Ah. Hello. Iʼm sorry for barging in. Iʼll be leaving in a while but can I borrow Nami first? Ah. And also Hina.”

When I addressed Hina with her first name and also named her as another girl I am borrowing from them, three people raised their eyebrows.

Arisa-senpai, Izumi-senpai and Kikuchi.

The three guys in the room all had differing expressions. Tadano probably vowed to not meddle in our affairs anymore while the silent guy was only concerned for Saki who remained standing behind us.

As for Ogawa, heʼs probably trying to ignore me as he indulges in his fantasy.

But seeing Nami this close to me, heʼs nearing to blow his fuse.

Lucky him, I still didnʼt have any plans to break his fantasy and make him accept that Namiʼs not his anymore so after I said that, I just reversed our positions and pulled the two girls with me outside their clubroom.

Even if the three girls who had their eyebrows raised wanted to ask a question, I made sure that they wouldnʼt have any chance to do so.

”You two. I said I would come and see you. Why did you pull me inside?”

”I followed Nanami… And Iʼm annoyed at Kazuo. After earlier… heʼs still tight-lipped as if what happened wasnʼt his business anymore.” Hinaʼs voice was riddled with repressed anger.

She mightʼve been smiling in that room earlier but this girl, this is how she really is.

I remembered how she was also annoyed at Izumi-senpai for badmouthing me. Although she wouldnʼt say it face to face, she would show it with her action.

”I see. Thatʼs how he is. Donʼt worry. If you want to, I can send you two to the bus station now... What do you think, Nami?”

Hina might not stop herself from being too annoyed with that guy whoʼs radiating inaction even when the one who stole his dream girlfriend was flaunting their relationship in front of him.

So to save her from that, itʼs better to send them to the bus stop myself rather than let them all go together.

Perhaps, they already noticed that thereʼs something wrong with Ogawa but without that guy opening his mouth to blurt out his growing frustrations, none of them wouldʼve known what I showed that guy earlier.

Since he ran away. He would continue doing that just to prevent himself from answering Hinaʼs question.

”Ruu. Did I do something not in line with my thoughts again?” Nami blinked her eyes as a troubled look appeared on her face

Perhaps realizing that what she did earlier was unnatural.

”If you mean pulling me inside the clubroom then yes. Is it coming?”

”Un. Maybe tonight or tomorrow. Itʼs aching again…”

She put a hand below her navel as she winced in pain.

”I see. Then letʼs go. Iʼll send you two home. And Iʼll continue doing so until your period ends. Letʼs forget about that Ogawa for now. Youʼre done with your club activity, right?”

”Un. Thereʼs still a lack of clients that need support so weʼre just hanging out in here… Let me get my bag.”

Their club needs students who also need their help to have an activity after all.

Shizuʼs Student Council probably had a lessened workload due to the change in how Shizu gave the other membersʼ duties. And that meant less work for this club.

”Me too.” Hina also said next as she followed after Nami.

However, I grabbed her arm first to say something.

”Ah, ask Saki if she also wanted to come.”

”Ruki, donʼt tell me…”

Understanding the reason why I also included the girl, Hina almost gasped in surprise.

”No, not yet. But sheʼs interesting.”

”... How did we fall into your clutches?”

Hina lamented as she released a sigh.

”Because Iʼm not Ogawa. Go now, Iʼll wait for you here.”

Giving her a simple answer which she immediately understood, I shrugged while posing a smile before urging her to follow Nami inside.

A few minutes later, weʼre now on our way out of the Club Building.

However, apart from the three girls, thereʼs also Kikuchi, Arisa-senpai and Izumi-senpai.

Right. They all tagged along leaving the three guys alone in that room.

Ah. No.

Theyʼre following behind us.

While I could be seen sandwiched between Nami and Hina, those three could only look at our backs.

Although Kikuchi and Arisa-senpai started asking questions as we walked, I answered them while subtly dodging all of them.

In the end, none of them got the answer they were looking for.

Moreover, the three girls would sometimes answer for me like three knights protecting a princess from fatal arrows.

Ugh. That comparison sounded off.

Nonetheless, itʼs like that.

Kikuchi became too intrigued at the end as she pulled Hina to one side while Arisa-senpai silently contemplated.

I know she will start getting suspicious. And that will be amplified because of what I told her yesterday. If she comes to me alone to ask her questions… then Iʼll just go and turn it around to finally know more about her past.

As for Izumi-senpai, sheʼs probably just got dragged by Arisa-senpai. Sheʼs probably still occupied with what happened to us earlier in that abandoned clubroom.

And judging from how Arisa-senpai looked at me, Izumi-senpai hadnʼt told her what happened yet.

But that would probably change tomorrow.

Nonetheless, I was already prepared for what would happen next when it comes to the two senpais.

Before the bus left from the destination, Nami peeked out from her seat to wave at me and next to her, Hina did the same.

And while that was happening, I observed the three guys looking at me with different expressions on their faces.

Anger, fear and confusion.
