Stealing Spree

Chapter 1027 Nakanishi-senpai

Oftentimes, a person who had successfully grabbed onto whatever power, no matter how little it was, would get drunk to it. There’s no exception. I, too, was guilty of using the power granted to me for my convenience.

In this case, that guy who sent Nakanishi-senpai here was flaunting his power to me. He had the gall to keep me in check when I hadn’t done anything yet.

Well, there’s the incident with the baseball club but do they need to make contact like this?

First, there are the followers of either Ichihara or Kujou. And now this girl or the whole delinquent group…

Although I could say that I never asked for this… There’s no turning back now. Besides, those Guidance Counselors, especially Eguchi-sensei, looked like they wanted me to be the guiding post for those students they couldn’t guide themselves.

Anyway, Nakanishi-senpai recovered soon enough. She’s not like Izumi-senpai who easily succumbed to pressure.

Well, not that I was pressuring that girl, it’s more of… I’m extending my hand to her which she always takes.

As for Nakanishi-senpai. Realizing that she couldn’t use force on me, she hurriedly retreated, her eyes changing the way she viewed me.

If earlier her chin was raised as though she was looking down on me, that changed to the girl facing me straightforwardly.

“It seems I misjudged you, Onoda-kun.” She said before doing a quick scan of me.

Her lips curved to a meaningful smile again and continued, “My warning is for your own good. But if you so desire to plunge into this… messy situation, feel free. Don’t come running to me later to help you.”

Without waiting for me to reply, the girl brusquely turned around and started walking away from the area. .

Her confidence hadn’t diminished in the slightest and although I only got to observe her for a short time, I’d say… it’s not false confidence, she’s not really too full of herself. It’s either the girl was strong enough to stand toe to toe against whoever was at the top or she’s leaning onto someone who gave her this much confidence.

Anyway, she’s a natural temptress, alright. Her gestures and mannerisms that I got to experience would be enough to tickle the senses of any man. Not in a way that she’s overwhelmingly beautiful or adorable but in an erotic sense. She had a naturally sexy figure. Her uniform failed to cover that up.

And most likely, that’s the reason why I was so distracted earlier. She’s a natural charmer.

Just look at those swaying hips as she walks away. There’s no trace that she honed herself to walk like that.

In a way, I could say that there’s no falsehood in her at all. Be it her words or her behavior.

Well, I haven’t learned enough yet so… I better use this chance presented to me.

Before she disappeared from my sight, my feet quickly moved and chased after her. “Going home already? Why don’t I walk you to your station, senpai? You see… I want to know more about these things you revealed to me.”

Upon hearing that, the girl stopped, looked behind and nodded while looking intrigued at my sudden boldness.

Moments later, Nakanishi-senpai agreed and gestured for me to come and join her. “Sure. But don’t blame me if you find yourself being targeted by another set of students, alright?”

She’s warning me again, huh? But what does she mean by that?

The answer to that question was instantly answered.

The moment we emerged from behind that clubroom and were seen walking next to each other by the sweaty idiots at the soccer field, I instantly noticed their hostile and envious gazes which could easily be interpreted as them asking me why I am with Nakanishi-senpai.

Nonetheless, none of them was brave enough to voice that out. Instead, they all amiably smiled and greeted Nakanishi-senpai, their eyes completely drawn to her natural charms.

Nakanishi-senpai acted unperturbed with it. It’s as though she’s already used to their lascivious eyes as they gazed at her. She greeted them back as coolly as possible before leaving behind encouraging words that further motivated the idiots to sweat more for their practice.

By the time we left the school gates, that same scene happened at least four times with every male sports club we passed by.

The girl was really popular. However, none of them actually tried to do something. No one approached her or even questioned why I was walking with her. All they did was throw me hostile gazes whenever she was not looking at them…

From that, I concluded that her reputation was built by her alone but at the same, something or someone is preventing those idiots from going after her.

I mean, it’s a fair game if she’s not taken, right? But none of them showed hints that they wanted to court her. It’s all pure admiration for something they couldn’t take for themselves.

“That’s amazing. Senpai is really popular. It makes me wonder why I haven’t heard of you until now?” I asked as we started traversing the streets straight to the train station.

“Am I now? Have you seen the way they looked at me?” Surprisingly, she answered with a bitter smile on her lips.

Looks like she noticed, she only decided to ignore all those lewd gazes as though they were already stripping her in their eyes.

“It doesn’t matter how they looked at you, right? It’s the type of popularity drawn by your natural charms.”

“Natural charms, you say? I never wished for it. But as you say, I cannot do anything about it other than act like I’m not bothered. If not for that guy, I doubt you’ll see me walk confidently like this.”

“I see. So, someone’s protecting senpai. It’s him, am I right?”

“If you know, stop asking already.” Nakanishi-senpai said before showing me a rather concerned look, “Remember, you shouldn’t cross him. Take this as another friendly reminder. I find you bold yet endearing. You’re not the same as them. Earlier, you tried your best to look at me as normally as possible. You failed at that but I appreciate the effort.”

The girl chuckled, remembering how I struggled to keep my wits not to ogle at her body earlier.

But really, this senior is quite likable but rather na?ve as well. It’s the second time she tried reminding me.

I appreciate it but it’s not like everything will be solved if I avoid them. No. There’s no avoiding them at all…

“I’ll take note of that. I cannot promise though.” I shrugged.

And taking that as me being adamant, the girl shook her head in slight disappointment. Nonetheless, she didn’t voice her thoughts this time and we continued on our way.

Since there were only a few minutes to our destination, I found it insufficient to extract every answer to my questions from her. Moreover, it’s impossible to simply throw those questions out and hope for an answer. She’d be more defensive and not answer at all if that’s the case.

That’s why I had to direct our conversation for those answers to naturally come out, just like that first one.

Nakanishi-senpai is being supported by that guy. However, whether she’s in a relationship with him or not, it’s unclear. She’s extremely grateful to him though. It’s to the point that she possibly reveres him.

In any case, the talk with her was still fruitful.

Because in the end, I learned the name of the guy she called earlier.

Actually, it didn’t come out as a surprise to me. He’s someone I already got the chance to interact with…

Enomoto.
