Stealing Spree

Chapter 449: Ria and Aoi

On my way back to the Administration Building, I opened my phone to check on the other girls who were probably about to go home.

It was already a daily occurrence ever since I took them back in. There was Aoi’s message where she sent a photo of our previous middle school. She’s there to pick Ria up and to go home together. It’s been a while since I saw the two in person, especially Ria.

That’s why when Aoi told me that they’re already together, I called them to catch a glimpse of the two.

“Dumb-senpai, I miss you.” Ria, who had a longing look on her face, greeted me as soon as she saw my face from Aoi’s phone screen.

This time, she’s sporting a ponytail for her long hair that made her even cuter than before. She’s also wearing a pair of glasses which added up to her image as the observant girl.

“Me too, Ria. I’m sorry I can’t go there and pick you up.”

Even if that’s the least I could do for the girl, I didn’t have the time for it at the moment.

“It’s fine. And I’m not asking you to, Dumb-senpai. I know how busy you are. Besides, we plan on visiting your house next week. Aoi and I will come to play again.”

Along with a playful smile, Ria licked her lips with her cute little tongue as she tried to appear like a seductress in my eyes.

However, the same as Aya, she only became more adorable this way. Add to that her oversized glasses that her nose was having a hard time holding.

“That’s right! Wait for us, darling. We also plan to stay the night there. We can do that, right?”

Perhaps because of the wind from the passing cars from where they were, Aoi’s dark blue hair was dancing freely to her side, if she didn’t tuck her hair on her ear, it would probably cover her face.

That’s a picturesque scene but it’s not really that good when we’re talking like this.𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

“Absolutely, yes. I miss my unruly Aoi and my adorable Ria. Are you two going to scold me?”

A visit was a welcome idea and I also wouldn’t mind even if they decide to stay for a day.

It’s been a month since that day they visited me and the last time I saw the two together was when I visited Aoi’s house. I certainly miss the two.

Well, not just the two but everyone who I couldn’t see everyday.

Even if it looked like my focus was always on one girl that’s with me, every time I was alone, my mind would, most of the time, wander towards the thoughts of the girls I couldn’t freely see.

Maybe next school year, if not me, someone will suggest for us to attend the same school. That way, I will be able to visit and see all of them or we can gather in one spot and spend the time together.

“Dumb-senpai, did you awaken to your masochistic tendencies? I’ll bring a rope then. You’ll like it.”

With her attempt to be more of a seductress, the observant girl mischievously smiled as she made that suggestion.

And upon seeing that, I couldn’t help but feel the urge to run up to her and cuddle her in my arms.

“No, Ria. I want to hear your voice and how you rebuke my thoughts and straighten them up. I really miss that unfiltered advice of my observant girl. You know how dumb your senpai is that’s why I need my cute Ria’s guidance.”

“Hehe. See that Aoi, I don’t need to be unruly like you to make Dumb-senpai submissive to me.” With a triumphant expression on her face, Ria made a remark to the girl who was trying to open an umbrella behind her.

The rain here had already stopped when we began walking to the bus stop but I guess the rain clouds had just arrived where they were.

“Is that being submissive? Darling is just using his tongue to let you hear what you want to hear. Ria is still young, I see.” Aoi answered with a smirk which made the petite girl puff her cheeks in frustration.

“As if I didn’t know that! What about you? What do you want to hear from Dumb-senpai?”

Although she appeared annoyed, she still stepped inside the umbrella to keep herself from being drenched by the rain. It’s still a drizzle but there’s no doubt that she would be drenched if she stayed out of the umbrella any longer.

“Of course, I want darling to ask me out on a date.”

“Oh… You heard her, Dumb-senpai. Prepare for it.”

Ria’s mouth turned into ‘O’ shape as she turned her gaze back on the screen. Instead of continuing to be annoyed at the unruly girl, she’s now helping her to appeal to me.

“Not just Aoi, Ria. I will also take you out on a date.” I instantly nodded and included her.

She’s also my girl. Naturally, I want to see them happy and filled with blissful and lovely smiles on their lips.

“No going back on your words Dumb-senpai.”

Not surprised with my words as if she’s expecting me to say that, Ria almost jumped in her elation. If Aoi didn’t reach in to hold her shoulder, the observant girl would probably trip herself again.

Due to that, I sent a stealthy thumbs up to the unruly girl which she somehow understood by doing an ‘OK’ sign.

“Did I ever go back on my words before?”

“No. Not that I could remember.”

“Then, that’s decided. Wait for it, Aoi, Ria. I will take you two on a date…”

At this point, I noticed that I was already near the Administration Building. After a few more exchanges and drawing up the plan for that date which I would take the two on two separate occasions, I began with my reminders before the end of the call.

“Take care on the road and take cover first when the rain grows stronger than that. I will be sad if I hear you two getting sick because of the rain.”

“We understand, darling. See you soon, I love you.”

“Worrywart, Dumb-senpai. Take care of yourself as well. I love you.”

“Un. I love you too.”

The two girls saying I love you at almost the same time… if someone heard them, whoever that may be, he or she would surely be surprised that they’re addressing those words to the same guy.

In any case, thanks to the rain, nothing of the sort happened.

Admiring the two girlsʼ lovely smiles before the screen turned black, I made my entrance to the Administration in an extremely great mood.

Although there were still teachers inside the Faculty Room, it’s already less than what I saw earlier.

When I took a quick peek inside, Shio was back at her desk and the other female teachers were crowding around her as if they’re waiting for her to finish so that they could now go to that get-together they planned.

Well, I immediately moved away in case someone saw me again. Once was enough. They would surely begin speculating if they saw Shio’s pet in the faculty and looking at her one more time.

“You’re finally here. This student really made us wait. Deduct a point in his class record, Ryouko.”

Orimura-sensei remarked as soon as she saw me arriving at Eguchi-sensei’s room with her lips arced into a smirk.

Looks like she’s getting back at me from the embarrassment she felt yesterday, huh?
