Stealing Spree

Chapter 2395: Carrying Satsuki

The scene in the classroom ended up being like a Hero’s Return after subjugating the Demon King as our classmates, with the lead of my girls, celebrated our victory.

Unsurprisingly enough, the news traveled quicker than us as we got showered in praises as they chanted the amount we would be receiving as additional funding.

It wasn’t that big, of course. Only 50,000 yen. Nonetheless, with that amount, we could lower our contribution when buying materials for props or securing supplies that we would be using for the booth. Your journey continues at empire

So, that’s why everyone was happy to hear that we won.

After that, Chii excitedly bragged about the concept, declaring to everyone that we’d be pushing for the Haunted Mystery Room to be our theme for the upcoming Cultural Festival, bypassing our supposed meeting tomorrow to vote for it.

Were there any objections? Of course. But they just got drowned by the approval of the majority.

In fact, Chii had already begun planning with the girls for the remaining time before club hours.

I silently watched from the side during all that while enjoying the comfort provided by Satsuki who pretended to be fast asleep as she moved her desk next to mine to lean on my shoulder.

Although it was pretense at first, the grumpy girl truly fell asleep despite the rowdy state of the classroom.

Even after the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, Satsuki remained slumped against my shoulder. Due to that, I ended up staying with her, preventing me from escorting the other girls to their clubs.

Of course, most of them didn’t mind it and even if they’re slightly jealous of Satsuki hogging this opportunity, they just whispered for me to make it up to them on another occasion.

”Hey, Satsuki. Let’s go. You still have practice, right?” After waiting for at least ten minutes while enduring the stares from classmates on Cleaning Duty, I shook the girl slightly.

With a yawn, the girl rubbed her eyes before looking up at me. Then, as she surveyed the nearly empty classroom, she closed her eyes again and even slotted herself further in my embrace.

At this act, Misumi couldn’t help but comment, ”Onoda-kun, why not carry her out instead? It’s enviable but... we won’t be able to start cleaning if you two remained there.”

Behind her, our other classmates who were on duty today nodded in agreement. But that girl, isn’t she becoming bold as well? It is enviable, huh?

”I guess you’re right. Sorry for the trouble, guys.”

”Wait. I’m just joking. You can’t possibly carry her up to the gymnasium, right?”

”I think I can. Watch.” I smirked before adjusting my position to pick up the girl and stand up from our seat.

It’s not a princess carry but something more... scandalous, if I might say. Satsuki unconsciously wrapped her arms and legs around me in a tight hold with her face buried on my neck.

If a teacher saw us like this, regardless of the reason, we’d be scolded for sure. But as luck would have it, the only ones present were the Cleaning Club members. But even then, the reactions of our classmates, especially the girls like Misumi, Amano, Esumi and Kikuchi were close to being flabbergasted. As for the two boys, Hino and Hashimoto, the two both gave me a nod of approval with a hint of enviousness.

I mean, even if they don’t hate my guts like the others, they’re still envious of how lucky I am with the girls.

”Onoda-kun... You’re not thinking of carrying her outside like that, right?” Misumi’s eyes widened as she looked at us, still in a compromising position.

Kikuchi also spoke but with a resigned tone as if this sight was already normal to her, ”It’s Onoda. Even if it’s shameless, he’ll still do it.”𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

”Come on Kikuchi. I may be shameless but I won’t go out of my way to draw more attention.” I laughed and then tried to fix Satsuki’s posture.

However, because of how tightly Satsuki was holding on to me, it became impossible. So, I looked at the girls with a helpless expression before saying, ”... Alright. I think I might need your help moving her to my back.”

Amidst the giggles, they stepped closer to help, starting with Misumi and then Kikuchi. Eventually, Amano and Esumi also joined in as they carefully untangled Satsuki’s arms and legs from around me.

As they did, their cheeks flushed at the sudden proximity and I couldn’t help but tease them a little, ”Sorry, I’ll treat you all next time.”

”... Is she not just pretending to sleep?”

”Maybe but even if that’s the case, won’t she be too embarrassed to wake up now?” I answered with a smirk.

Obviously, she’s already awake. I could feel the increased heat from her cheeks, which were now resting on my shoulder blades.

Misumi and the other girls had a look of shock mixed with amusement as they realized that Satsuki was indeed faking her sleep. They held back their giggles as they continued to finish the task, pretending they didn’t hear the soft, muffled protests coming from the girl as she was relocated to my back.

Soon after that, I stood up and thanked the girls before picking up our bags, ”Alright. We’ll be leaving then. See you tomorrow.”

They nodded while still trying to hold back their laughter, waving us goodbye.

As we stepped out of the School Building, Satsuki bit my shoulder gently, a silent protest to my teasing. ”Idiot Ruki. Why did you have to say that? You could’ve continued pretending.”

”Well, Misumi asked. How do you think I should answer?”

”Whatever. Carry me like this to the gymnasium but find an empty room for us. I have to get back at you.” Satsuki murmured into my ear, the heat from her breath amplifying the sudden surge of desire she had just kindled within me.

”As you wish... I assume I will be scolded, hmm?”

”More than that, pervert idiot.” Satsuki impishly said, her arms and legs tightening around me again.

Despite gathering more attention as we passed by the other students on the way, Satsuki and I already had our little secret bubble around us.

I guess I can use this as a chance to also visit the Basketball Club after we’re done with our ’small talk in an empty room’.

”Anyway, didn’t you say you will have another practice match soon? When is it? You know I won’t miss that.”

”You might not be able to. We’ll be the ones traveling to their school.”

I switched the topic a bit to abate the growing heat on my lower body from the anticipation brought by Satsuki.

”Oh... Which school is it?”

”Hirari High.”

That school, huh? I don’t know exactly where it’s located but since that school is within our city, it’s doable for me to still come and watch.
