Stealing Spree

Chapter 1746 Pick me up tomorrow

Upon arriving home, I joined Akane and the others in the living room to watch a late-night TV program while we drank the miraculous tea. Despite its side effects on me, it’s still truly great in giving us a good night’s sleep.

As I suggested to them earlier, Ayu helped get Sena’s parents’ permission to let her stay the night here. Although they didn’t lie about the location not being Ayu’s house, they still left out the information that they’d be sleeping in the same room and on the same bed as me.

I know. Even if they minimized the lie, it’s not going to change that we lied to them. We cannot really justify that and it’s the same for the other girls whenever they make an excuse for staying the night. We’ll just have to hope to not be restricted like this in the future once our plan comes to fruition.

Anyway, the show on TV was one of the most talked about drama series in a while. It’s about two police officers, one rookie female officer, and a male detective. It’s a police drama where they solve cases each episode while keeping some kind of mystery, thrilling plot, and romance subplot on the side.

With the actors being good-looking, it’s becoming a fad that even someone like me has heard of them. I just don’t have the time to watch them diligently every week.

And that’s the same for my girls.

In any case, since each episode could be considered a story of their own, Akane, Sena, and Ayu were instantly engrossed by it.

For today’s episode, it’s about a bank robber who, after escaping with a bag of cash, ran into the duo. It became a chase episode where they skirted through the city it was filmed as more plot points were gradually uncovered.

By the end of it, the robber was trapped and caught but only after injuring the female officer causing that male detective to be a bit dramatic. After the credits rolled and they watched the next episode preview, all of them had this glimmer in their eyes that indicated their interest to watch more of it.

Well, if I had to rate that episode, it’s at least an 8 out of 10 possible score. But unlike them, the thing that made me really interested was the plot points that were hinted at in the middle of the episode.

There’s the connection of one of the main characters to a syndicate as well as the past of the detective.

If Kana was watching the same series, she probably made a lot of notes from it already.

“That was surprisingly great. No wonder everyone is talking about it. The actors didn’t have the right chemistry though. It’s like they don’t like each other at all.” Akane opened up her own review of the episode. Although she’s really interested in the story, she found their acting skills lacking.

“I see that too. And the actor... I imagined Ruki to be the one playing him. He’s very fitting for that type of cold, unfeeling character yet so soft when it comes to those he cares about.” Sena then threw me a glance. Most likely, she’s already imagining me acting out that scene. And before long, her cheeks reddened.

Yep. She loves me too much to the point that she’d probably want to see me becoming a main character in any form of media.

“Their boxing skill is too subpar. Their choreographer is possibly a mixed martial artist. That’s not how we throw a straight! Right, Ru-kun?”

And lastly, Ayu and her boxing fanaticism. She’s really critical of that. In any case, I found it adorable that I automatically agreed with her.

“Yeah. That fight sequence is too clunky. If there’s no power in that punch. The actor is also known as a goofy guy with or without a camera. He’s probably still trying to improve himself by taking up that role. As for the actress... Well, she’s stiff. Marika’s acting skill is more impressive.”

Since they were all looking at me as though waiting for my own review, I used that chance to just use what they said and give my opinion about it.

But with my mention of Marika, all three pouted as though jealous that I picked that girl to bring up in this conversation.

I can’t help it though. I truly rate her acting skills higher especially when I saw it in person.

Without saying anything else, Akane turned the TV off. Sena picked up the tray containing our cups and the teapot and brought it to the kitchen. And lastly, Ayu pulled me up and started dragging me with her to the bathroom.

Even if I had already taken a shower with Eimi, I’m certain that they wouldn’t let me get away now that they found another reason to have me join them in taking a bath.

And so, for the next hour, the already steaming bathroom became even warmer from what transpired inside it.

Well, nothing too vulgar but as I managed to get it up again... the three of them never missed the chance to feel me inside them before we soak ourselves in the tub or wash away any traces of what we’ve done tonight.

Unfortunately for them, I still won when it comes to stamina. Due to that, I ended up carrying them all back to our room one by one where they could only put on their sleepwear – Akane let Sena borrow hers and Ayu borrowed one of my mom’s – before drifting off to sleep.

I forgot to talk about Fuyu or ask Akane about Fuyu’s mother but I guess that can be done tomorrow.

I stayed up for a little longer just to check on my other girls.

Arisa sent me a message, scolding me for what happened earlier, or at least, that’s what she tried to convey. But beneath it, I easily uncovered her delight that Izumi finally took the initiative to approach me like that. I teased her that we’re both bad influences to Izumi and she laughed it off saying, ‘She truly fell that hard on you, shameless Ruki. It’s fine. She’s going to treasure that memory.’.

Really. Where’s the considerate friend now?

Other than that, I also received a message from Aoi and her older friend, Ohori-senpai, informing me about what happened after I separated from the troubled girl.

Like Aoi told me earlier, she brought Ohori-senpai when she met up with the girls and there, they brainstormed on how to deal with that glorified cuck.

They suggested confronting that guy in their classroom which could only be accomplished by Ohori-senpai.

She attempted it and even followed my advice of pressing him if he’s keeping more photos.

The result? It’s not a failure but it’s also not that satisfactory.

Someone stepped in and stopped Ohori-senpai from confronting the guy but at the very least, she successfully blurted out his kink and the reason for their breakup. Not everyone believed it though since he also deflected it by saying that she’s the one cheating on him. And because of that, the opinion of their classroom was divided into two. Those who support Ohori-senpai and those who support the cuck.

Unfortunately, that happened before the end of the school hours so... Aoi and the other girls couldn’t come there to support her. They only heard from her when they met up again.

I replied to them with my view of the situation. I asked Aoi to just continue what she was doing while I suggested that Ohori-senpai continue channeling her past personality. I know it will be hard but that’s the only way for her to truly get away from him after the issue was concluded.

I don’t have the time to meet up with her tomorrow or this week so... my direct involvement will have to wait for next week. In any case, I also trust Aoi and the other girls to be able to resolve it. They’re cleverer than me in a lot of ways, after all.

Anyway, another important message that I received came from Shizu. It’s regarding what she brought up last Monday.

“Numbskull. Pick me up at school tomorrow. I won’t be able to watch the match but I’ll wait for you. It’s time we fulfill our date plan.”
