Stealing Spree

Chapter 2654: Interrupted

The timing of Nina’s appearance could only be described as... fantastic. My girls knew and understood what would happen when I brought Otsuka-senpai here. But this girl... she probably came inside after finding out that we disappeared.

Did the girls tell her where to find me, or did she just climb up without asking anyone? It’s probably the latter. And now... despite what she just said, Nina’s face had also started reddening as the realization that she caught us in an intimate moment gradually sank in her head. She was quick to recompose herself though. It’s like she didn’t want me to see her get flustered from this.

Meanwhile, Otsuka-senpai let out a small squeak as she glanced in Nina’s direction. With blazing red cheeks, she squirmed slightly, also not knowing how to react to this situation, especially when she had just mustered all her boldness to tell me what she wanted to do.

“N-Nina-chan! It’s not... It’s not what it looks like!” She eventually managed to squeak out. Yet despite saying that, the girl didn’t even try to push me away or fix herself to make it more believable.

I couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly as she shot me a flustered glare, possibly hoping for me to follow up.

But should I do that?

Well, maybe I should, but not in the way she’s hoping I will do.

“Nina, did you purposely come here knowing what you might stumble into?” I started with that question, causing Nina, who was pretending to be unaffected by the awkwardness of what she’d just stumbled into, to flinch.

She tilted her head to the side, which was undoubtedly adorable as her lips curved up into a mischievous smile. “To be honest, senpai. I thought you’d be alone here. Hehe. I’m sorry for barging in.”

“You thought?”

“Un. You see... When I noticed you returned inside, I thought it could be my chance to... you know, get you to bite me again.”

So, she had the same thought as Otsuka-senpai, huh? To grab her chance when I wasn’t too focused on my girls. But she didn’t account for Otsuka-senpai to be here with me.

Am I supposed to believe that?

I alternated between Nina’s mischievous grin and Otsuka-senpai’s flustered expression. After thinking for a while, I pinched Otsuka-senpai’s cheek before gesturing for Nina to come closer.

Probably not expecting that, the girl fidgeted for a bit before cautiously coming over. At this point, I had Otsuka-senpai sit back up as I placed another cushion for her to settle on my other side.

Nina, with her usual dramatic flair, hesitated only a moment before plopping down on the cushion I’d set out. Her school skirt fanned out as she crossed her legs and leaned closer to hug my arm, her lips beaming with both excitement and nervousness.

“Night Prince, does this mean you’re finally acknowledging me as your humble minion?” Nina whispered as she practically ignored the fact that my arm was already buried between her chest. “Am I also about to receive a sacred oath?”

Mhm. I knew she’d react like this. I couldn’t help but recall what Hana told me before. That I was too soft on Nina. Although I argued that it was because she didn’t know any better... that wasn’t applicable anymore. She knew what she was dealing with here. And for sure, even if she didn’t hear our conversation, she caught us in that intimate position.

Perhaps if she came up a minute later, she’d find us in a more compromising situation. My pants wouldn’t have been pulled down by then.

I flicked her forehead before replying in the same volume, careful not to let Otsuka-senpai hear it, “You’re being reckless, Nina. You’re making me worried, you know?”

Her eyes sparkled at that as her lips slowly curved up into a pleased grin. “You’re worried about me, senpai?”

“Of course, I am. What is it that you truly want, Nina? Does indulging you in your fantasy not enough? Do you really want to...?”

I didn’t need to finish my sentence there since she picked up what I meant right away.

Her sparkly golden eyes blinked as she pursed her lips. I thought she was about to contemplate an answer to that question but I was wrong... she already had one.

“I do want to but I know I can’t be like them yet. That’s why... I’m satisfied to just be your minion.”

“You know the complications.”

“Un. And I weighed it in. My answer remains the same. There’s no one else like you, my handsome Night Prince. Hehe.”

And that earned her another flick on her forehead.

Meanwhile, Otsuka-senpai had finally recovered from my other side. She tugged at my sleeve before shifting closer to my side and finding us whispering at each other.

“What are you two whispering about?” She asked.

“I’m just scolding this girl. Look at her.” I pointed at Nina, who immediately innocently grinned at Otsuka-senpai. Then, I leaned to whisper to her next, “Karen, let’s continue what you asked on the next occasion, alright? Unless... you’re still keen on doing it with this girl here with us.”

“Shameless Ruki... You’re going to corrupt her too if you do that!” Otsuka-senpai squeaked before covering her mouth.

Too late though. Nina heard her loud and clear.

“Corrupt me? How will Night Prince corrupt me, Karen-senpai? Does that include getting pushed and pressed down with him? I like that. Cast the love spell to me, senpai!”

“You! Don’t say that out loud!” Otsuka-senpai’s voice sounded like a frantic whisper now. Her purple eyes alternated between Nina and me, as if she could bring the situation back to normalcy with panic alone. Despite her boldness, she’s still mindful of the junior with us, I guess?

In any case, maybe if it were Sumire or Umi, she’d probably not mind. But at the same time, I’d also be worried about exposing them too early in what we were about to do.

Otsuka-senpai looked like she was torn between bolting out of embarrassment and staying to make sure Nina didn’t escalate things further.

With my ‘fake girlfriend’ and ‘minion’ now sitting by my sides, it felt like navigating a minefield, but one where the explosions were just the two of them not knowing how to proceed from here.

“Alright, alright,” I said, cutting them off as I placed my hands on their waist, pulling them closer. The desire that Otsuka-senpai aroused in me was still flaring up. I don’t know if Nina already noticed or not but it was truly impossible to go through with it anymore.

That’s why I decided to just change the flow of our conversation, bringing us back to before things heated up.

“Why don’t we pump the brakes here before this turns into something that would leave you both flustered?”

Nina’s golden eyes sparkled with mischief as she tightened her hold on my arm. “Oh, Night Prince, I won’t be flustered, I promise! If I can get you to bite me, this loyal minion of yours will be more than satisfied...”

She tilted her head, exposing her neck again, that flawless skin practically begging for me to play along with her fantasy. “And if... you want to. My lips are yours to take as well.”

I sighed, shaking my head with a grin. “You’re gonna be the death of me, Nina. And not because of any ‘sacred bite.’ Karen, you see what I have to deal with here?”

Contrary to what I was expecting, Otsuka-senpai stared at Nina for a second longer before tilting her head as well. Looks like her curiosity had been triggered.

“You’re the one who keeps indulging her, Ruki.” She then addressed the girl, “Hey, Nina-chan, do you like him?”

Nina gasped dramatically, clutching her chest. “Karen-senpai, I adore him! Only Ruki-senpai indulges me with my fantasy. And... I know I will not be taken advantage of by him. Hehe. Isn’t it the same for you? We’re both innocent maidens caught by Night Prince’s charming spell.”

I flicked Nina’s forehead again, a little harder this time, making her yelp and pout. “There you go with spells again. You’re already causing enough chaos just being you.”

She flinched slightly from the flick and then pouted, “I’m only being honest here. And I... I think I have to apologize. I must’ve interrupted something important, no? Should I leave you two alone?”

Otsuka-senpai’s blush flared up again. “I-it’s fine, Nina-chan. You don’t have to. He promised to help me, so... we’ll pick that up later. Somewhere without... interruptions.”

“Oh... How spicy.” Nina mischievously grinned before lowering her voice again as she leaned from my side to whisper to Otsuka-senpai, “Is it something lewd?”

Otsuka-senpai’s cheeks flared even brighter, and she swatted at the air as if trying to dispel Nina’s words. “N-Nina-chan, that’s private information.”

“Hehe. Got it, senpai. It’s something lewd.” As she pulled back, the girl looked up at me, maintaining her mischievous grin, “Night Prince, I won’t ask for something lewd but...”

“You want me to give you another bite?” I finished her sentence. And that earned me a hearty laugh from the girl.

“That... and more.” Upon saying that, Nina’s arms looped around my head, pulling me down to level my face with hers, “I’m borrowing Karen-senpai’s boldness. Not just my neck, my lips are also yours to take, Night Prince.”
