Stealing Spree

Chapter 1079 Really?

Because I still have a little bit of time before the actual part-time job, I decided to send Kana home to the station near her house. Her excuse was to stay overnight with a female friend. That’s why it would be problematic for her if I walked her to their house. And because of the same reason, it’s also bad to take that as a chance to introduce myself to them…

In any case, Kana was already overjoyed just by that fact.

From our house up to the train, she remained glued to my arm while exuding her jovial mood that quickly infected me.

In this way, even though we didn’t talk a lot during the ride, just knowing that we were next to each other brought us great memories to look back at.

Well, my decision to do that was also partly because I was worried that she’d be too flustered by being alone on the train. And the other part was just me trying to extend my time with her.

It was kinda cut to less than a day because of my trip with Miwa-nee. Even if she said that sleeping together at night and the way I spoiled her today was enough for her, I was probably the one unsatisfied with how I got to treat her.

I got scolded when I told her that, obviously. But then Kana just put on her mature self again, scolding me further while pampering me at the side.

That’s the second time I got pampered today, huh? Am I getting too emotional now?

No. Probably not too much… I could look at myself and identify what’s making me act like that, after all. But the problem is… I’m not even trying to suppress those thoughts. And actually, it’s leaning towards the right course of action rather than letting myself bottle it up in my chest or to the back of my mind.

In any case, everything was resolved right away. Miwa-nee and Kana made sure that they were.

“I know I don’t need to ask this but… can you go home by yourself?” As soon as we got off the train, I pulled Kana to a corner and asked.

It’s intentional. I wanted to see her acting cute one more time before we separated.

And sure enough, I wasn’t disappointed.

With pouty lips and puffed-up cheeks, the cute and shy girl lightly hit my chest, showing how upset she was from my question.

“Bad boy… I’m not a child. I had just given you a lecture, remember?”

“You sure did. But I always love to tease you as well, remember?”

Upon hearing that, she got hit by a realization. And then her hits intensified to the point that it’s starting to hurt a little. However, moments later, Kana abruptly stopped as she shifted her arms to my back, hugging me as tight as she could, “Really a bad boy, you don’t know when to stop with your teasing.”

“I’m sorry. I can’t help it when my Kana is too adorable.”

“Too adorable to tease, you mean.”

“Yes.”

“At least deny it!”

Kana completed the sentence and I shamelessly agreed. And because of that, her hits returned, making us an attraction for the other passengers.

While letting her do that, my arms made their move, scooping her up in my arms. When Kana felt her body lifting off the ground, she instinctively held onto me by circling her arms around my nape.

In this position, I lowered my head and took her lips in a long, passionate kiss.

“Now then. I think I still have a bit of time…”

After separating from Kana and riding the train back home, I checked my phone for the time and any messages that might be important.

Obviously, my girls’ messages were the most important ones but there’s one message that got my attention…

Ishida-senpai’s message.

It’s a short text message. And it was sent just a few minutes before I watched Kana walk out of the station.

“Are you free?”

Although it’s only a three-word question, I could somehow understand her thinking process from the way she worded it.

Ishida-senpai failed to restrict herself from messaging me – she wanted me to be the one to make a move on her, after all. Or if not that, she’s just being cautious not to be seen by me as someone craving my attention. And by sending that, the girl didn’t get her hopes up that I would be free at this time.𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Luckily for her… Her place was on the way home.

And so, while I sat back down on the train, I replied to her.

“I’m coming to your house.”

With how direct that was, I could imagine the girl scrambling to her feet upon reading it.

But hey, that’s my intention.

Not even a minute later, Ishida-senpai’s reply came.

“What kind of drug are you on? I only asked if you’re free. I didn’t invite you!”

She used an exclamation mark. Looks like I was spot on with my prediction. Somehow, I’d like to see how panicked she was upon reading my messages.

Uh… After teasing Kana, now it’s Ishida-senpai’s turn, I guess?

As I naturally broke a smile, I typed in my reply still imagining the usually upright senior holding her head in a mess.

“I know, senpai. I’m still coming though. Senpai can turn me away at your gate or invite me in, your choice.”

And after saying that, I sent an audio recording, letting her hear the announcement made by the train conductor stating the name of the next station.

“You… How come you’re already on the train?”

“It’s a secret.” Once I sent that, I stuffed my phone back in my pocket and resisted replying to her again.

After fifteen minutes, I got off the train near Ishida-senpai’s house.

Since it’s the same crowded area as before, I had a little harder time navigating through the crowds who were enjoying their weekend.

Nonetheless, I still managed to push through. I even passed by a donut shop, buying half a dozen of them just so I wouldn’t come to her house empty-handed.

Well, I could also use a sweet while I spend time with her. Also, normally in courting, it’s necessary to bring gifts, right? Maybe I could apply that to this. Not that I’m coming to see her this time to court her. I only have less than an hour to spare, after all. This is just a simple visit of a junior to his senior.

Right?

After spotting the City Hall and the Library from a distance, the landmark close to Ishida-senpai’s huge-ass house, I stopped for a moment to check on her new messages.

Also, to make sure that she’s at home. I forgot to ask her earlier.

“That’s a lot of messages for the short time that I didn’t reply to her.” I couldn’t help but blurt out that comment upon seeing the 20+ unread messages from Ishida-senpai.

I opened it to check what she said… However, most of them were stickers of an angry white female cat with her arms crossed right after her last text message that said ‘Shameless junior! Reply if you’re really coming!’

Mhm… That’s cute of her.

Well, looks like I got my answer even without asking her, she’s at home, pacing about and not knowing what to do with this sudden visit of mine.

As anticipation rose in my head, I typed in my reply and sent it before continuing to enter their street.

However, before I could make my turn, I spotted someone I recognized coming from the opposite direction I came from.

And no, it’s not one of my girls. But the one guy who quit the Literature Club after I stole his girl…

“Don’t tell me he’s here to see her? Is he pushing his chances on Ishida-senpai now?”

Right. It’s Goto Kenji.
