Stealing Spree

Chapter 2116: Checking the result

Half an hour later, after I finished taking a bath, I put on the clothes Akane prepared for me and then went to the kitchen to brew the miraculous tea.

I still have no idea what happened after I left so I planned to check it out myself.

But while waiting for the water to boil, I grabbed my phone to see my unread messages.

As always, there's a lot of them. But after reading through and replying to all of them, nothing major happened. Everyone safely went home and had dinner and most of them were already in their rooms, doing their homeworks and waiting for my message.

The night was peaceful and calm. I spent the few minutes just enjoying my time with my girls who I still wish I could hold every night.

Ah. Right. There's that stuff with the lackey of Ohori-senpai's cuck ex-boyfriend. Looks like Aoi wanted to continue hunting him down. Only then would they be able to put a rest to the matter.

Honestly, the cuck ex wasn't a problem anymore. His attempt to smear Ohori-senpai's name wasn't working at all.

With my girls helping them out, his own reputation was the one going downhill even without the reveal of his cuckold fetish.

Most girls in the school sided with her.

To top it all off, some of the girls he approached before have been dug up by Mizuki and Otoha. They appeared to refute the claim that Ohori-senpai cheated on him. Instead, they revealed that it was the other way around - with complete testimony and evidence.

Maybe Mizuki and Otoha used their influence. You know... There's a saying that money talks. Anyone can be bought even if it can bring disgrace to their name.

Who knows, they might even be featured in the column of their school's newspaper.

In any case, that guy's plan to drag her name to the ground should already be over.

Unfortunately, regarding his fetish and his delusional belief that Ohori-senpai still loves him just as he loves her and she's feeding his fetish by continuing to meet with me, that still needs some work.

Or is it? I don't know. The most apt solution for that is for the girl to just ignore his existence. That way, no matter how deluded he is, he'll figure out that Ohori-senpai doesn't care about him anymore.

"Akane, I brought tea and snacks. Is it fine for me to enter now?" I said after knocking twice on the bedroom door. In my hand was a tray filled with the tea set and a plate of biscuits that would surely make Futaba cry sugar again.

I listened closely to the sound coming from the room. And soon enough, footsteps approached the door before it opened.

Instead of Akane, Futaba was the one who opened it.

As soon as our eyes met, I could see that she was still unhappy about the reveal.

"Come in. This is your room. Why are you still asking if it's fine to enter?"

"I mean, it's your bedroom for tonight. I'm just being polite."

"Polite, huh? Is it also polite that you bagged two of my friends? Onoda-kun, you're really shameless."

Look at her, her hostility was too clear as though it could form into daggers and stab me for laying my hand on Akane and Fuyu.

In any case, my face didn't change and I maintained my friendly smile, "Mhm. I know. I haven't said this yet but I'll let you know, I love both of them. Equally."

"Yeah. I heard that from them. You love them equally and you won't show favoritism. But that's still wrong, Onoda-kun." Futaba seriously remarked.

Past her shoulder, I could see the other three looking in our direction. Contrary to Futaba, Eri's gaze at me wasn't filled with hostility but she was definitely still conflicted about what she learned. It's not easy to be convinced, after all.

As for Akane and Fuyu, they gestured that it was fine. Most likely, Futaba opening the door was something they gave a blessing to.

It's probably to let her air out her frustration on me.

Well then, I'll let her do that.

"Mhm... You're right. In this society, it's still wrong. I'm sorry if it's disappointing to you but this is the reality of our situation. If Futaba wants to, you can hate me for this. I just have to say that I genuinely love them. If you ask me to reveal to the world tomorrow, I'll do it and let everyone judge us."

Upon saying that, I stepped to the side to enter the room with the tray still in my hand.

But as I walked past the girl, I heard her deeply exhale as though she was unloading what was burdening her.

I heard her turn around and call out to me from behind with fragmented sentences,

"This idiot. I can't believe it! I didn't say I hate you. I just... Haa... Okay, it's my fault for being openly hostile."

Alright, she just went into a roller coaster of emotion there. But I get it. She's still in the process of airing out her negative feelings about it.

"I asked them for permission to let me vent. This is the only time I will act like this... I just need to release it. You get me, right? Onoda-kun?"

Upon saying that, Futaba approached me and moved to my front again. Maybe to convey her feelings properly over this matter.

I stared at her for a few seconds before nodding. But after that, the curve made by lips widened as it turned into a playful smile.

"Of course, I do. Go ahead and vent more. I don't mind. I deserve that, right? But look here,

I'm worried about you so I brought more sugar for you."

Hearing that, Futaba suddenly took a step back as she finally looked down at the tray I brought, her eyes locking into the plate of sweet biscuits.

"Ugh... You really know how to push someone's button, aren't you?"

"Nope. I'm just being polite. I know you love your sugar. Don't thank me yet, alright? Also, don't fall for me too or we'll have another explanation to do for Eri." Repeating what I said earlier and then sprinkling it up with even more absurdity, I aimed to turn this situation more into the lighter side than how this started.

"Akane, Fuyu, can't you see? He's bullying me! I hate Onoda-kun. How can you love him?"

And sure enough, as though she couldn't handle me anymore, she ran back to the bed and jumped to Fuyu and Akane.

They caught her as though she was a little kid who needed comfort. So, she could also act like this, huh? Did I go too far?

On the side, Eri, who was just conflicted earlier, couldn't help but laugh at this turn of events.

"Onoda-kun, stop bullying our Futaba. You understand it, right? She only means well. She's just too concerned for Akane and Fuyu." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Sorry, because it's too serious, I can't help but try to lighten it up. What about you, Eri?

Won't you scold me too?"

"What? So you can bully me too? Fat chance, Onoda-kun." Eri cutely stuck her tongue out to

me before jumping out of the bed to get the tray from me.

"Since you said you're being polite. Onoda-kun is free to go now."

"Hmm? Are you kicking me out of the room? Won't you won't let me kiss Akane and Fuyu

first?"

"Look at how shameless you are, Onoda-kun... And you said you're polite." Acting

disappointedly, Eri clicked her tongue.

I could continue teasing this girl but I guess I should retreat for now. I left the tray to the girl

and said, “Alright. This shameless guy won't disturb you anymore. I'll be downstairs if you

need me."

Eri laughed again as she took the tray to the bed.

Then, I saw Futaba sitting up and facing me again. Like Eri, she stuck her tongue out cutely

before laughing with Eri. I guess she finished venting?

As for Akane and Fuyu, they joyfully waved their hands at me, satisfied with this result.

"Yes, husband! I'll come to collect my kiss from you later. Don't sleep."

"M-me too Ruki-kun, I'll check on you later."

I looked at my two lovely girls and nodded before leaving the room and returning downstairs.

Mhm. It was a great idea to check on them... Everything went well, right? Akane and Fuyu explained everything clearly and managed to convince them.

With Futaba airing out her negative feelings like that, it should be over. And I doubt they would tell anyone about us. Their concern for Akane and Fuyu would lead them to protect the

secret from being known to the public.

In any case, I should still expect the two to be wary of me.

Or so I thought...

I don't know what happened but my first visitor from upstairs isn't Akane or Fuyu.

It's Eri.
