Stealing Spree

Chapter 601: Strip

Strung along with what she called as ‘cheering me up’, I spent the rest of the time allocated to the Mentor Program with Misaki.

Although she’s mostly the one being entertained by what we’re watching, I somehow felt the sense of relaxation just by sitting and talking to her about things. The girl was definitely too trusting, carefree and innocent.

Furthermore, she still bore the same elegance and flair as someone from a high-class society despite spending her time with me. And through that, I gathered that this girl was raised in a peaceful environment.

Anyway, through our talk, I got to learn things about her and in the same sense, she learned things about me.

Misaki hadn’t felt anything close to ‘like’ towards the opposite gender.

For her, ‘friend’ was the closest relationship she could establish with someone outside her family.

Itou is her closest friend. A lot different than how I perceived it when I saw them together. And according to her, they had just met each other at the start of the school year.

Apparently, ever since kindergarten, she was homeschooled. Only now did they allow her to attend a private school. As for the reason, I hadn’t tried asking her about it.

Also, to not make her uncomfortable with our talk that’s getting too personal, I stopped probing and just continued watching the cartoon with her.

After spending time with her, I could somehow say that I started viewing her as someone too precious to even think of defiling.

Misaki’s intention for bringing me here was truly what she stated, to cheer me up because she thought she saw me bearing a sad expression.

In fact, if this was an anime, I would probably see her as someone who could emit an entirely brilliant radiance that could blind those who think of doing her harm.

Alright. That’s probably an exaggeration but my point stands.

And like that, I survived the challenge for today. Furthermore, the idea of being her friend was somehow reinforced.

When I thanked her for cheering me up, the girl genuinely showed a relieved smile and even told me to come to look for her if ever I needed her help in the future.

She’s probably planning to take me to another cartoon-watching marathon when that happens. In any case, I truly appreciate the girl’s kind and thoughtful attitude. Oh, let’s add the innocence and her elegance to that.

Naturally, I wouldn’t openly look for her if I ever need help. Today could be said as a coincidence.

Besides, I know that the more time I spend with someone, the stronger the tug of my desire for them. I better leave it to chance whether we could encounter each other again and hang out together.

After separating with Misaki, I returned to the Club Building and made my way to the fourth floor.

Yesterday, I made an appointment with someone. To somehow abate the overflowing curiosity in her mind, I promised to meet Otsuka-senpai in the same room where we talked about that curiosity of hers.

Unlike earlier where I waited and ended up being stood up, Otsuka-senpai was already inside the room, walking in circles while radiating excitement and impatience.

As soon as I stepped in and closed the door from behind me, Otsuka-senpai had already stopped pacing around as her eyes focused on me.

“You’re finally here, Onoda-kun! I thought you’re not going to show up!”

Without waiting for me to approach her, Otsuka-senpai closed our distance, her hand clutching on my gym shirt.

The overflowing curiosity in her sparkling purple eyes was probably enough to overwhelm someone who’s dealing with her for the first time.

“I promised you, why will I not show up? Besides, I feel truly responsible for igniting your curiosity…” I answered as I walked towards the middle of the room where two chairs were already arranged side by side.

She surely prepared that.

Taking my arm to let herself be dragged by me, Otsuka-senpai’s giggles reached my ears. “Thank you, Onoda-kun! For accommodating my curiosity…”

“Well, I also have to apologize for leaving you hanging for the past month.”

She caught on to my relationship with Kana. We could’ve just explained the situation to her but that’s not what I did… I was still the same desire-driven guy back then so the first thing that came to my mind was to create a situation where I could get her to keep her mouth shut after being made aware of her personality.

That was truly foolish and now we’re here.

“You truly did! I can’t think of anything else but you and your…” Otsuka-senpai trailed her voice as her hand reached towards that particular part of me.

With only the two of us here, she courageously went for it without any second thought.

However, with my reflex and perhaps expectation that she would do something like this, I blocked that part with my own hand.

In the end, she only managed to grasp my hand.

Bearing a somewhat sullen expression, she raised her gaze and pouted. “… You promised, Onoda-kun.”

“I promised to show it to you, senpai. Not to let you touch it.”

“But won’t we still reach that point? You and I having sex.” Without any break in her voice, Otsuka-senpai declared.

“That’s true but that’s not what I promised, senpai. Truthfully, I am hoping to satisfy your curiosity before we reach that point.”

“… Fine, show me… Also, I’m sorry for being like this, Onoda-kun.”

Otsuka-senpai released my arm and sat down.

I followed suit, taking the empty seat next to her.

She arranged the chairs she prepared side by side rather than in front of each other.

“No worries, it’s your inherent personality. I can see that you seemed stressed about it. You slimmed down and your eyes had now dark lines below. Are you not getting enough sleep?” I slightly turned towards her and ran my thumb below her eyes to somehow measure how thick her eye bags were.

Although she’s still radiating that overflowing curiosity of hers, Otsuka-senpai truly appeared stressed at the moment. Also, even though I could still observe her curiosity about other things she’s not as eager compared to when she’s pertaining to her interest in those things.

However, Otsuka-senpai brushed away my hand from my face and reprimanded me while pointing her finger at me. “That’s not fair, Onoda-kun. Why are you spouting caring words as if I’m your girlfriend? Don’t worry about my appearance and just satisfy these overwhelming curiosities I have towards you, that part of yours and the thing called sex.”

Ah… That’s right. This was the thing Arisa-senpai pointed out to me back then, I was always being considerate. Unconsciously, my mind was already gearing towards caring about this curious girl.

Like she said, I only had to satisfy her curiosity, not treat her like how I treat my girls.

“Thanks for the kind reminder, senpai.”

“If you understand then… strip down, Onoda-kun.” Otsuka-senpai ordered as she tapped my cheeks while smirking at me.

Her purple eyes remained sparkling as they seemed to begin scanning me from my head down.

This is to satisfy her curiosity and to be responsible for my actions. I already made up my mind for this and we’re already in this room, there’s no going back now.

“Well then…” I stood up from my seat and put my hand on the waistband of my gym pants.

However, before I could pull it down, Otsuka-sensei grabbed my arm.

“Why are you starting there, Onoda-kun? This first.” She said as she grabbed the hem of my shirt and flapped it lightly.
