Chapter 96: Start of the Act (3)

“Nami, tell me honestly, do you really want me to give up on you?”

I drew close to her and took her hand. I stared at her eyes as I uttered that question.

In the end, she turned her head sideways to dodge my gaze.

“You and Hina, you’re both stubborn like this. You just won’t give up.”

“You didn’t answer my question.”

“I don’t want to answer, Ruu. I finally got Kazuo to confess to me. Like the you earlier, I’m also confused and I want to clear that confusion soon. Can I ask you not to ask me about it, please?”

Nami turned back her face to me with pleading eyes. This is the first time she begged me about something.

“Haa. If you ask me like that then alright, I’ll stop asking about it. I’ll conveniently think you don’t want me to give up.”

She’s still confused. She couldn’t decide whether she wanted to ask me to give up or not.

“…Think what you want. Just don’t ask me.”

“But Nami, we had that deal, remember? Ogawa already left. That means the plan already started. Right now, we’re lovers.”

To act as real lovers. That’s the condition I put out after she accepted my suggestion.

“Huh?!”

Upon hearing my last sentence, she flinched and almost jumped in surprise. Only now did she realize that we’re now going to start our act. During this time, she’s ultimately mine and not Ogawa’s girlfriend.

This girl…

“Until I pass you to him later, you’re mine. And since we had another deal yesterday, I’ll uphold that. Only hugs and holding hands, as we agreed.”

I explained to her.

“Ruu, is this fine? I feel like I’m already cheating. And it’s not even a day after I accepted his confession.”

Her voice was shaking. This is probably her first relationship and after getting the guy she always wanted, we then have to act as real lovers.

Maybe she didn’t realize the weight of this act when we were still on the planning stage but now that we’re acting it out, it started to sink in her.

I have to calm her down. I’ll deny that thought from her. She doesn’t need to think that she is cheating with me, even if it does look like that.

“This is not cheating. I’m your lover, Nami. Right now, your boyfriend is me.”

Releasing my hold of her hand, I drew closer to her and wrapped my arms around her waist.

She tensed up but she didn’t try to push me away. It took a good 5 minutes before she eventually wrapped her arms around me as well while burying her face on my chest.

She used that time to think and to calm down.

“…You’re already taking advantage of me, Ruu.”

Without looking up at me, she uttered those words softly.

“I’m just trying to let my girlfriend relax. Think of this like I’m doing the same thing you did for me earlier.”

I whispered on her ears while stroking her hair with my hand.

“Were you jealous of seeing me with him?”

She asked again with her face still buried on my chest.

“Do you even have to ask?”

Nami sweetly laughed at my answer. Then I felt her arms tighten its hold on me. The thought of cheating was erased from her mind.

Right now, she’s finally acting with me.

“This guy. So you can now act cutely like this.”

“Eh? This isn’t cute at all! I have to give you to him later so let me act as your lover right now.”

If Kazuo suddenly comes back and sees us like this. I wonder what he will think? He just pointed out earlier to not touch her casually, but now it’s more than just touch. I’m holding her in my arms and she’s not against it.

Ah. I have to make the best of this time with her.

“You’re not acting like a lover, Ruu. You’re like a child, you know?”

“Then for you, how should I act as your lover?”

I asked her. Her tensed up body already loosened.

Upon noticing that, I tightened my hold on her.

I could feel the soft texture of her breasts beneath her uniform pressing against me.

“Don’t ask me. You have to figure that out by yourself.”

Her usual confident voice when talking to me turned softer.

And it’s because of the atmosphere around us right now. Just like what happened yesterday, hugging each other in an empty place like this, the atmosphere became this fluffy.

We could actually do more but I restrained myself.

“Alright. I’ll think about it. How are you? Comfortable now?

“What do you think?”

She looked up and smirked at me.

Of course, the question is pointless since she’s already comfortable since earlier. She stopped addressing her current confusion or the thought of cheating.

She’s mine right now, she doesn’t need to think about anything.

“You already are but If you will ask me, I won’t hesitate to say it’s still not enough. I want to feel you more closely like this.”

Hearing that, she took back her arms that were hugging me and brought it up to my face. With the same smirking expression, she pinched both of my cheeks.

“As I thought, that’s how you will answer. Can I pinch your cheeks?”

“This girl… You already did. Ask first before you do it!”

She laughed again and patted my slightly swollen cheeks. Her grip was so strong that I felt like she could tear my cheeks off if she did it seriously.

“Alright let’s stop playing, Ruu. We already had our fun. They’re still waiting for us.”

Having cleared her mind, she released herself from my hug, turned around and started walking towards the door.

“Nami…”

I called out to her before she reached the door.

“Hmm?”

She turned her head back to hear what I will say.

“I like you.”

Once again. I uttered these 3 words to her.

“I like you too.”

Nami nodded and wore her beautiful smile while saying that.

This smile was unlike that cheerful smile she showed when she was with Ogawa. Even so, I’m already content with this for now along with that reply of hers.

I don’t know if that’s genuine or not. Maybe part of it is but right now, we’re acting as real lovers. There’s a chance she’s just acting on her part.

But I’ll still take it. Sooner or later, I’ll have her say that without putting on this act.

This road will be hard. Nami will be my first conquest after remembering this emotion. My desire might still be here but yeah, for now, I’m not inclined to use despicable methods like forcing myself on them anymore.

About Kanzaki, I won’t go after her unless she approaches me again. I already have a lot on my plate, cutting off things that are impossible for now will be better.

For Mori, since I’ll stick to our plan, like with Nami, I won’t go as far as forcing myself on her.

Hearing those words from her mouth, I couldn’t help but hug her again. We stayed like that for another 5 minutes before I was satisfied.

After leaving that empty clubroom, Nami led me to their real clubroom.

I asked her about how she knew a lot of empty rooms. Turns out, the current Student Council President is part of their group.

Err… She is a 2nd year senior who’s close to them since middle school.

She provided them with a big clubroom and passed their newly created club easily since she also hangs out in there whenever she likes.

The information about the empty rooms and clubrooms were all given by her for them to check out as part of their club activity.

Err. Their club is called the Student Support Club. It’s a hobby club where they accept any request for support from any students. They will help them as long as it’s within their power.

Eh? That sounds like the club of that guy with dead fish-eyes on that certain anime.

Well. They’re just acting as busybodies. Maybe this is just an extension of the Student Council.

Well, since it’s a newly created club, only a few people know about it. So for the time being, the clubroom became their hang out spot.

They’re just slacking off inside it unless they receive a request of support from someone.

Their only client, for now, is the Student Council itself. They were being tasked by them to do some odd jobs such as checking those empty rooms or checking the various clubs if their club activities are aligned to the name of their clubs.

Currently, apart from the four of them; Nami, Mori, Ogawa, Tadano, there are three more from our class and two 2nd years which were obviously part of their group.

Now I’m going in to meet them all as Nami’s boyfriend. Maybe the Student Council President will also be there. I only saw her once during the Opening Ceremony.

It might be my chance to see his whole harem, right? Or there’s a possibility that there’s more from other clubs?

Anyway. I don’t care about them for the time being. While I’m acting as her lover, my focus is all on her.

When we reached the door to the clubroom, Nami reached for my hand.

Thanks to our continuous practice, crossing our fingers together became natural now.

After taking a deep breath, Nami opened the door to the clubroom.

Because of the sound from opening of the door, the students inside the clubroom all turned to us.

“Eh? Nanami and…”

“Onoda?!”

Surprised gasps were simultaneously heard from them.

I guess it’s really surprising to see me with her.

Ah. Now, let’s start this act.
