Stealing Spree

Chapter 409: Ogawaʼs Delusion

“Kazuo… He. He didn’t listen to me or Hina. He waited for me, yes. But the way he had deluded himself that he could still salvage the situation disappointed me…” Nami answered. Her voice sounded really disappointed as well as… helpless. Perhaps she tried to reason out with him but it all ended in failure.𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

If Nami failed to make that guy listen… then Hina was the same. The problem here would be how that guy would act starting tomorrow? Would he throw his weight around and openly shower us in with hostility?

“He loves you that much.”

“I don’t see that as love, Ruu. I think it’s on its way to becoming his obsession… I know you won’t let me but I still feel responsible that he turned out to be like that.”

Right. This is why she’s downhearted. She’s thinking about what I said to her earlier … However, her guilt over leading Ogawa to believe that she’s his girlfriend was eating away at her.

It would’ve been fine if the confession didn’t happen, she could just tell him that there were never ‘them’ and that would be the end of the story.

Because of the point where Ogawa believed Nami was his girlfriend. Well, she really was his girlfriend. For less than a day.

“It’s fine to feel responsible. I won’t stop you. But let me take half of that responsibility. You knew that if I only did what you asked of me, things wouldn’t reach this point. That’s why it’s not only your responsibility that he ended up like this. Besides, I also had my fair share of instances where I provoked him.”

Nami knew all about those instances so… she couldn’t refute my words of shouldering half of that responsibility she was feeling for Ogawa.

“Nami, what do you think? Can I talk to him? Man to man. I will be civil. I promise.”

“You’ll be civil… Does that include using violence?”

“No. Of course not. However, if being civil will not work…”

Although I trailed my voice, Nami immediately understood it as she cast a worried gaze and called out to me. “Ruu…”

True, beating up Ogawa had the possibility of making him back away and fear me. However, among the guys who I could vaguely remember I’d beaten in a fight for a girl… none of them were like Ogawa.

Like him in a way of obsessing over a girl.

Well, that was also because those guys weren’t the boyfriends of the girls I was targeting. This was also what changed during this school year.

I began confronting the girls’ partners whether they’re official or not. There’s Kana’s ex, Kenji.

Shio’s ex-husband and Nao’s lover, Nobuo.

Satsuki’s former target of her affection, Sakuma.

And, of course, Ogawa as Nami, Hina, Saki and Izumi-senpai’s love interest.

Among the four, Sakuma was mostly fine now. But for Kenji, Nobuo and Ogawa… they’re still a problem.

Kana would still have to face that Kenji in another talk.

Shio couldn’t relax yet without the divorce papers approved. She only submitted it this week and she’s probably going to be sent back to her with a sign and approval from the City Hall.

Nao also couldn’t rest yet as that guy could show up at any moment. If not for school, I would’ve let her stay in our house for a few weeks while the case she presented to her school’s administration was still ongoing.

“Alright. Don’t worry, I will only talk to him. But Nami, if he doesn’t change… he’ll be a total problem for us… Furthermore, Hina, Izumi-senpai and whoever’s chasing after him would all suffer.”

Saki wasn’t that invested in him anyway so… only those two or if there’s still someone I haven’t met yet. However, I doubt there’s more though…

“I understand that… That’s why he needs to change even if we have to force him to.” Nami said with a certain conviction. She knew that if that guy stayed like that, there would be no end to this… trouble he would bring us.

Furthermore, Nami probably had my secret in her mind that ultimately led her to decide that Ogawa needed to change.

“Un. Let’s talk about this in detail next time.”

After a few exchanges of what we were going to do about that guy, We ended the call on a good note.

Soon after that, I checked on Hina, although I didn’t call her like I did with Nami, she still updated me on what happened with her attempt to talk once more to Ogawa.

As I expected, it’s also fruitless.

I only comforted her and didn’t press her for any decision. What she needed was the time to think and… Ogawa was already troubling her, there’s no use adding me to it.

Nonetheless, if she’s really like Akane, she would continue waiting for him but if not… she would soon come to me with her decision.

After that, I used the time to check on my other girls and their situations.

By the time I arrived home, Akane was already waiting for me as she pulled me towards the dinner table.

After dinner, I spent some time with Miwa-nee and Minoru, talking about their day.

Nao’s muffin already arrived and Minoru was busy stuffing his face with it after dinner.

As for what Nao prepared for me, it’s a whole triple chocolate cake. Before I sliced and shared it with both Miwa-nee and Akane, I called Nao to thank her for it as well as to check on her situation again.

She had a bright smile upon seeing me. Moreover, she’s wearing a nightgown that was sticking too close to her skin. If she was really in front of me, I would’ve long pulled her in my lap to spoil her.

Upon noticing my eyes that were admiring her figure, Nao teasingly moved the camera of her phone to showcase her certain ‘assets’. From her belly button that could be vaguely seen beneath her gown upwards to her bountiful bosom that was being held by sexy black lingerie and lastly to her face with her lips pouted as if she’s waiting for my kiss.

When Akane, who was waiting for the cake saw what Nao was doing, she immediately ran up to our room to wear her own sexy negligee as if she’s trying to compete against the girl for my attention.

However, it ended up with the two complimenting each other’s sexy figures before they both gave me a side glance as they waited for me to give my opinion.

Well, as always, I answered positively. Both of their figures invoked my desire to take them after all.

After a few promises with Nao that I would fulfill when the ongoing issue around her ended, we ended the call and began eating the cake Nao personally made for me.

It’s not perfect yet as it became too sweet, nonetheless, I ate at least three slices to appreciate the girl’s efforts. Akane and Miwa-nee ate a half-slice each and Minoru, who smelled the sweet scent of chocolate, also ran over and ate the two halves.

After a quick bath with Akane, we moved to our bedroom and like always… talked about our day. Upon hearing how eventful my day was, Akane couldn’t help but smirk as she began commenting on each event I told her.
