Stealing Spree

Chapter 1039 Surprise us?

　　Unlike yesterday when I brought Ishida-senpai outside, our time in the Literature Club today was spent straightening Otsuka-senpai’s scenario and linking it to what we’re going to write for ourselves.

In the end, we decided to use Otsuka-senpai’s scenario as the base; something she wished for. From there, the order would be; Rae, Kana, Ishida-senpai, and lastly me.

My scenario would be built up with what they’re going to end up writing.

So, what I needed to do before doing it was to read theirs and improve on them. All of them were coaching me on how to write better and surely, there was some improvement compared to what I wrote before. My mind still always wandered to perverted thoughts though so… my writing was still barely passable.

Anyway, while we’re doing our activity, given that there’s now a change in our relationship, Ishida-senpai would often turn to me. Her expression, wanting. Most likely, she wanted to spend more time with me, get to know me better, and more importantly, stave off the sadness she’s keeping in her chest. However, because there’s that rule she made prohibiting flirting inside the clubroom, the girl graciously abided by it. That’s why the only thing she managed to do was to try and get my attention at every chance like asking a question, showing me something, and similar things.

And noticing that, Kana who’s happy for her friend kept on teasing the girl. She even whispered to me how she found Ishida-senpai adorable now that she finally got someone who would understand her. It doesn’t matter if it’s me. Since she’s already sharing me with the other girls, having Ishida-senpai on board wasn’t bothering her anymore.

Naturally, Kana also had her limit. If I suddenly picked up girls left and right then I would be in for a scolding from the girl. Her mature self would give me a piece of her mind until I submitted to her.

And that’s why I love her a lot… Even if she’s often just an adorable fluffiness that I could cuddle, when it comes down to it, she’d be the first one to reprimand me.

“Make Rumi as happy as we are, Ruki. She deserved it.”

Around an hour later, while we were waiting for their bus to arrive, Kana pulled me to one side of the bus stop and said that.

“Mhm… You know me. Have I ever neglected you?”

Well, now that I expressed girl my intention to court Ishida-senpai, I would naturally follow through with it and treat her just like how I treat my girls.

Kana shook her head and smiled, “Not in the slightest… I want more time with you though. More time where I can just cuddle with you… You know, my mind is always clear every time I’m with you. I think I can write more if you’re by my side.”

“Then, wanna come home with me? You know, we haven’t slept together again since that night. I miss waking up with you.”

Yep. It’s been a while. For sure she could use that excuse again, right? And if it’s not possible, I wouldn’t mind coming to their house to ask for her.

I mean, we even planned before to bring me inside her room. Unfortunately, we just couldn’t find the right moment for it.

Upon hearing that, Kana’s eyes shone instantly. Her excitement swiftly rose to the skies as she adorably bobbed her head a few times, “Yes! Tomorrow, I’ll go home with you.”

And with that, our plan for tomorrow was set. Returning to join Rae and Aya, the two who probably heard what we talked about also looked at me longingly.

That’s why before letting the three of them go… I also asked them. Without a doubt, I got a positive answer from the two.

“Ruki, I’m fine next week. I’ll ask for it today so… they won’t be able to say no.”

“Me too, Ruki. Next week.”

Minutes later, after sending the girls to their bus stops, I was now on my way home. Next to me on the train, Chii comfortably snuggled in a way that it’s not too obvious.

Beneath the cover of our bags, our fingers were interlocked together as we enjoyed this peaceful time.

And on another side, Sumire was unusually quiet compared to how she always preached about Asahi.

Clearly, it’s because of her Chii-chan-senpai. She could only choose to be quiet if she didn’t want to be teased by the fake gyaru.

Looking at the girl who’s wriggling uncomfortably, I couldn’t help but lean close to her to ask what’s wrong.

“N-nothing, senpai. Don’t mind me!” Her response was swift. Although I could attribute that to Chii’s presence, the girl was clearly holding a lot of questions she wanted me to answer. Such as the origin of the voice recording that I sent her as well as some other things that are bugging her.

Well, too bad for her, even if we’re alone, I wouldn’t simply answer that. I’d let her drown in her curiosity so that each time we meet, I could tease the girl before she could preach about Yue.

That’s a great plan, don’t you think so? Imagine the girl’s mind swirling down any possibility that she could think of but never settle on one because there’s no confirmation from me…

Uh. Of course, I would tell her eventually, but the time isn’t ripe yet. Maybe when the time comes, I could also ask Yue if she’s fine to meet this enthusiastic fan of hers.

Returning my focus to Chii, the fake gyaru looked like she could sleep at any moment from how comfortable and peaceful her expression at the moment.

I reached for her cheeks and caressed them.

Perhaps feeling the warmth from my hand, the girl pressed it further before rubbing her cheeks on it.

“I heard a lot has happened, Kii.” She started. Her gyaru mask was taken off completely. Without any other students around us aside from the meek girl on my other side, Chii didn’t need to act anymore.

However, we have to be a little discreet about this conversation.

That’s why I answered her in a voice that only the girl could hear and directly to her ear. “Mhm… I told you the rough summary. Wanna hear it in detail?”

“Not everything. I want to hear more about Hifumi and… Hana.”

Ah. Right, since she’s part of the trio, this girl was more interested in the two of them…

While Hifumi was still reluctant to admit her true feelings and she was deliberating whether to continue associating with me, Hana was being too straightforward that it ended up with Akane and Miho striking back at her.

After telling the girl everything about my recent encounter with them, Chii suddenly looked up at me and said, “I’m going to talk to them. I’ll make Hifumi more honest… And about Hana, I’ll discourage her on her plan.”

“Well, that aside, why don’t you reconnect with them? The three of you, I mean. Tell Hifumi about Hana. Since you three got closer during that spring vacation, I think you three will appreciate the friendship you made back then.”

“You haven’t told Hifumi yet?”

“Not in detail.”

“I see… I’ll tell Hifumi to meet me this weekend and send you the address if she says yes… Surprise us?” Regaining her cheerful side, Chii playfully grinned at her suggestion.
