Stealing Spree

Chapter 348: The Awkward Club (2)

When Nami and Hina showed up, the two pulled me inside the clubroom drawing confused gazes from Izumi and Arisa-senpai.

Naturally, it’s not the time to confront Ogawa yet.

Upon looking at Nami’s eyes, her quirk was possibly working this time again.

I only told them that I would be seeing them before they go home, not to enter the room when I had just made things somewhat complicated for the members of the club except the silent guy Taku and the fujoshi Kikuchi.

Nonetheless, with me entering the room, the slightly suspicious time that Saki spent at the door with me was completely forgotten.

All of their eyes were all focused on me after all.

Arisa-senpai was looking at me with a somewhat complicated expression while Izumi-senpai was throwing me a hateful glare which instantly subsided when our gazes met.

I guess what I did earlier also made her start to think for herself.

As for Arisa-senpai, when our gazes met, I nodded at her and smiled slightly before turning my focus back to Nami.

Ogawa who’s stone-faced before I entered, started trembling at his seat while Tadano just ignored my existence.

Then there’s Kikuchi who’s not looking at me but Hina, complete with a meaningful smile. She’s surely wondering why Hina also went to the door to pull me in.

As for the silent guy Taku, he nodded at me but his gaze then went to Saki who was following behind us.

Ignoring the awkwardness that was building up, I put on an innocent expression as I greeted them.

“Ah. Hello. I’m sorry for barging in. I’ll be leaving in a while but can I borrow Nami first? Ah. And also Hina.”

When I addressed Hina with her first name and also named her as another girl I am borrowing from them, three people raised their eyebrows.

Arisa-senpai, Izumi-senpai and Kikuchi.

The three guys in the room all had differing expressions. Tadano probably vowed to not meddle in our affairs anymore while the silent guy was only concerned for Saki who remained standing behind us.

As for Ogawa, he’s probably trying to ignore me as he indulges in his fantasy.

But seeing Nami this close to me, he’s nearing to blow his fuse.

Lucky him, I still didn’t have any plans to break his fantasy and make him accept that Nami’s not his anymore so after I said that, I just reversed our positions and pulled the two girls with me outside their clubroom.

Even if the three girls who had their eyebrows raised wanted to ask a question, I made sure that they wouldn’t have any chance to do so.

“You two. I said I would come and see you. Why did you pull me inside?”

“I followed Nanami… And I’m annoyed at Kazuo. After earlier… he’s still tight-lipped as if what happened wasn’t his business anymore.” Hina’s voice was riddled with repressed anger.

She might’ve been smiling in that room earlier but this girl, this is how she really is.

I remembered how she was also annoyed at Izumi-senpai for badmouthing me. Although she wouldn’t say it face to face, she would show it with her action.

“I see. That’s how he is. Don’t worry. If you want to, I can send you two to the bus station now… What do you think, Nami?”

Hina might not stop herself from being too annoyed with that guy who’s radiating inaction even when the one who stole his dream girlfriend was flaunting their relationship in front of him.

So to save her from that, it’s better to send them to the bus stop myself rather than let them all go together.

Perhaps, they already noticed that there’s something wrong with Ogawa but without that guy opening his mouth to blurt out his growing frustrations, none of them would’ve known what I showed that guy earlier.

Since he ran away. He would continue doing that just to prevent himself from answering Hina’s question.

“Ruu. Did I do something not in line with my thoughts again?” Nami blinked her eyes as a troubled look appeared on her face

Perhaps realizing that what she did earlier was unnatural.

“If you mean pulling me inside the clubroom then yes. Is it coming?”

“Un. Maybe tonight or tomorrow. It’s aching again…”

She put a hand below her navel as she winced in pain.

“I see. Then let’s go. I’ll send you two home. And I’ll continue doing so until your period ends. Let’s forget about that Ogawa for now. You’re done with your club activity, right?”

“Un. There’s still a lack of clients that need support so we’re just hanging out in here… Let me get my bag.”

Their club needs students who also need their help to have an activity after all.

Shizu’s Student Council probably had a lessened workload due to the change in how Shizu gave the other members’ duties. And that meant less work for this club.

“Me too.” Hina also said next as she followed after Nami.

However, I grabbed her arm first to say something.

“Ah, ask Saki if she also wanted to come.”

“Ruki, don’t tell me…”

Understanding the reason why I also included the girl, Hina almost gasped in surprise.

“No, not yet. But she’s interesting.”

“… How did we fall into your clutches?”

Hina lamented as she released a sigh.

“Because I’m not Ogawa. Go now, I’ll wait for you here.”

Giving her a simple answer which she immediately understood, I shrugged while posing a smile before urging her to follow Nami inside.

A few minutes later, we’re now on our way out of the Club Building.

However, apart from the three girls, there’s also Kikuchi, Arisa-senpai and Izumi-senpai.

Right. They all tagged along leaving the three guys alone in that room.

Ah. No.

They’re following behind us.

While I could be seen sandwiched between Nami and Hina, those three could only look at our backs.

Although Kikuchi and Arisa-senpai started asking questions as we walked, I answered them while subtly dodging all of them.

In the end, none of them got the answer they were looking for.

Moreover, the three girls would sometimes answer for me like three knights protecting a princess from fatal arrows.

Ugh. That comparison sounded off.

Nonetheless, it’s like that.

Kikuchi became too intrigued at the end as she pulled Hina to one side while Arisa-senpai silently contemplated.

I know she will start getting suspicious. And that will be amplified because of what I told her yesterday. If she comes to me alone to ask her questions… then I’ll just go and turn it around to finally know more about her past.

As for Izumi-senpai, she’s probably just got dragged by Arisa-senpai. She’s probably still occupied with what happened to us earlier in that abandoned clubroom.

And judging from how Arisa-senpai looked at me, Izumi-senpai hadn’t told her what happened yet.

But that would probably change tomorrow.

Nonetheless, I was already prepared for what would happen next when it comes to the two senpais.

Before the bus left from the destination, Nami peeked out from her seat to wave at me and next to her, Hina did the same.

And while that was happening, I observed the three guys looking at me with different expressions on their faces.

Anger, fear and confusion.
