Stealing Spree

Chapter 2163: Reporting again

Minutes later, after finishing our adjustments with her lesson that she would also do for us tomorrow, I accompanied Ryouko-san outside the Administration Building. Itʼs just our way of prolonging our time together. And after exchanging a few words that would probably be problematic if heard by other people, we parted ways.

With the remaining time for lunch break, she now had to head to the Gymnasium to prepare for her upcoming class. And while I would have loved to stay with her longer, I still have something else to do.

The soft breeze played with her hair as she gave me one last, lovely smile before she turned around and adopted her usual stern demeanor, walking as confidently and disciplined as before.

Watching her retreating figure for a moment, I sighed softly to myself.

Not gonna lie, Iʼm already missing her. I wish we could have more time for ourselves and not just these few minutes every day.

Letʼs see. Should I ask Hayashi-sensei to give us a task again where we had to spend a whole day together?

As if something convenient like that exists! Besides, that would mean leaving my other girls for a day too. What a dilemma...

Anyway, I soon turned around and returned to the building. Retracing my steps, my feet quickly brought me to the nearby stairs that would lead me to the Directorʼs Office.

However, before I could take the first step on the staircase, I noticed Orimura-sensei lingering close to the door of the Faculty Room.

She had accompanied Ryouko-san and me during our walk but stopped at the Faculty Room when we passed by it, acting like she wasnʼt trying to follow or keep an eye on me.

It was amusing in a way, no? The effort she put into maintaining her aloof facade while clearly showing signs of impatience was quite adorable of her. And upon knowing her intimately, itʼs something that the woman could certainly do.

Well, thereʼs only one reason why sheʼs still watching over me at this point.

I still havenʼt informed her about her new role of being the advisor for our Potato Clubhouse. When I told her about how she was supposed to accompany me there, her curiosity had clearly been piqued. Hence the impatience.

And on top of that, we still had that little matter to address. Her so-called sessions of ʼcorrectingʼ my path which I now considered her thinly-veiled excuse to be alone with me.

I mean, thatʼs how it is now, right? No matter what happens sheʼll continue to fail in her attempts.

A smirk tugged at my lips as I thought back to our previous sessions. Everything was still vivid in my memory.

Honestly, I was kind of wondering what she had in store for me today. Would it be another round of stern lectures, delivered with that serious look on her face while believing she can still ”fix” me? Or would it be something more intimate like the last few times?

Whichever the case, I wasnʼt really that concerned. I have my own plans, and my goal remains the same; to gradually erode the wall sheʼd built around herself, enter it, and turn her lectures into something else entirely.

At this point, I was probably halfway there already. Despite her stubbornness seemingly on another level entirely and her attempts to maintain an air of professionalism, I had dealt more than enough damage to crack her armor.𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Where Ryouko-san had been more open about her feelings over time, Orimura-sensei clung to her role as a teacher, believing that her authority gave her the right to ʼguideʼ me. But I wasnʼt concerned. I liked the challenge. In fact, the more difficult she made it, the more determined I became.

Also, Iʼd be blind if still didnʼt notice how her gaze now lingered on me for too long when she thought I wasnʼt looking. It happened just a few minutes ago.

And just like earlier, I could not help but recall the memory of our last session. Didnʼt her resolve falter in the end which led her to give in to me and our desires for each other?

However, despite that, she still returned to her usual strict self the next day. Thatʼs kind of amazing, really.

In any case, no matter how amazing I found that side of her, I had no intention of bending over with her ʼcorrectionʼ. Instead, I would continue turning the tables on her so that by the end of this, she wouldnʼt be able to deny her feelings any longer. It wasnʼt enough for me to simply engage her with this because this was a repayment for the favor I owed her. I wanted her to be completely honest with herself. To admit the truth she was so desperately trying to suppress.

Nonetheless, Iʼd probably still enjoy every moment I spend with her. Like most of my girls, sheʼs slowly getting rooted in my heart that I wouldnʼt call it a simple attraction anymore - otherwise, I wouldʼve stopped her from repeating her ʼmistakeʼ last time.

Before continuing up the stairs, I waved at her, a faint smile lingering on my lips.

As for her response, Orimura-sensei once again clicked her tongue and acted like she was unconcerned by turning her back on me and disappearing within the Faculty Room.

Shaking my head, I put my focus back up ahead and went on my way. For sure, sheʼd be here when I descended later.

”Youʼre finally here, you brat! Why does it feel like youʼre becoming complacent about taking your time? Look at the time!”

As I stepped into the Directorʼs Office, I was met with Hayashi-senseiʼs beautiful frown. Thereʼs a vein popped up on her forehead as she sat behind her desk with her arms crossed against her voluptuous mountains.

I put on a silly smile and scratched my head before replying, ”Iʼm sorry. I got held up with my duty as a Student Assistant.”

”Student Assistant? Hah! Not only are you working tirelessly by taking more girls, but you also put yourself in those positions. Tell me, do you not want to breathe anymore?” Although she sounded like she was berating me for my decisions, I couldnʼt help but notice the underlying concern beneath her voice.

Somehow, that made this trip all the more worthwhile.

”Well, I can breathe in between, no? I appreciate the concern though, sensei. Shall I give you a massage again? A compensation for being late.”

”What? No! I donʼt need it today!” She hurriedly rejected but her face betrayed her words. I could notice her eyes flashing an expectant gaze which she immediately shut down before pursing her lips and pointing at me, ”Just come and sit down already. Iʼll be over. Let me hear what youʼre going to say.”

Inwardly, I couldnʼt help but rate this act of hers a 3 out of 5. Sheʼs not being very convincing, no? However, I knew I couldnʼt just blurt out that she was lying about not wanting a massage.

I get it. Sheʼs still not used to being in close contact with me. And obviously, because I bore a resemblance to my father, part of her behavior around me was still influenced by her previous affection for him.

Itʼs actually quite impressive that she could keep meeting like this without turning the situation into an awkward mess.

Maybe this was also her own attempt to move on from my father. I mean, if she keeps getting infuriated by me who had his face, wouldnʼt she be able to let go of him quickly?

Alright. Thatʼs an optimistic way to view this.

Anyway, I followed her words and took my usual seat. Moments later, Hayashi-sensei soon joined me. And this time, she didnʼt make it hard for us anymore as she took the seat next to

me.
