Chapter 1038 Izumi’s Troubles

“Alright, no need to be sulky. I noticed you coming from afar.” I reached in and pinched Arisa’s pretty nose.

Feeling my fingers grasping it, the girl pouted and scrunched up her face to try moving her head away from my grasp. Unfortunately for her, I was persistent.

Moreover, with my outstretched arm hooking to her back, there’s not much of an avenue for her to retreat.

I know. We’re in public and someone can see us here… But I just can’t help but tease the girl who tried to tease me.

“By the way, why are you not together with Izumi-senpai? And here I thought you two are already in the clubroom.”

Still holding her close, I released her nose before peering over to that side.

Even until now, the self-proclaimed Izumi-senpai’s dog was still trying to appeal to her, in the hopes that she’d allow him to escort her. Izumi-senpai’s expression never changed though. She’s more annoyed than moved.

If I was the one in his shoes, I wonder how Izumi-senpai would react? Will she act this annoyed and indifferent?

I’ll never know without trying.

“We’re on Cleaning Duty. I told her to go ahead of me.” Peering over from my shoulder to inspect what was happening, Arisa answered.

At this point, she’s now so close to me that if someone saw us, they’d definitely scream ‘Normie, die!’

Well, with my attraction to her, I found myself not caring about that possibility as long as I could hold Arisa this close.

And surely, the girl was feeling the same. Her cheeks had started to be dyed pink and her body temperature started rising.

Acting like we were both oblivious to it, we continued conversing.

“I see. That guy… How long has he been acting like that to her?”

“I don’t know. Maybe even two years back? He was kind of a hotshot during our middle school years. You see that lumpy body. People used to get intimidated by that. Izumi, not so much.”

So, he’s been simping at Izumi-senpai in the past two years? On the other hand, the girl was patiently waiting for Ogawa to notice her.

And then, enter me, the shameless guy. I’m probably the only one who managed to get too close to her. Enough that she’s now comfortable being hugged by me. .𝚌o𝚖

“I see… He seems persistent though. What if he snapped?”

If that happened, that fake delinquent had no way to protect herself. And since he’s well-connected to the rowdy bunch of delinquent wannabes, even Arisa could be in danger.

“Don’t worry. Izumi knows how to protect herself. Did she tell you how many dogs she put on her leash?”

“I recall there’s quite a few. I remember she used to tell me that I can only be her dog.”

Though I never saw the other dogs on her leash, they’re probably all upperclassmen. I used to only see her during the Mentor Program and in their clubroom, after all.

Maybe I should make another round upstairs to check their surroundings. I’m gonna make her mine as well so… it’s better for me to know who can become a hindrance to that.

“Yeah, right. You’re too rabid to be leashed. She’s always troubled about you.”

“Really? I never knew.”

“Stop being such a tease…” While frowning adorably, Arisa poked my cheeks. “We’re always troubled by you… Ever since you showed up in our clubroom.”

Ending her words with a deep sigh, Arisa then raised her head to give me a swift glance before scanning our surroundings.

Once she determined that no one was around, the girl then caressed my cheek before gently lowering my head down.

Understanding what she wanted to do, I naturally followed along after double-checking.

Before long, her soft lips pressed on mine and we shared an intimate kiss wherein the time and place were thoroughly thrown out of the window.

As a glistening string of saliva extended between us as our lips separated, Arisa dreamily muttered. “You’re such a menace, Ruki.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“Yes. For you, that’s a compliment.” Arisa then giggled in satisfaction before turning her attention back to what we were watching.

As for me, having been influenced by that oh-so-beautiful smile, my mind whirled into wanting to spoil her completely. I was even close to forgetting what I was observing here.

Reining in that thought, I put the girl in front of me and wrapped my arms around her navel. I pushed my nose close to her hair and inhaled her addictive fragrance before lightly kissing the back of her neck and the surrounding area around it.

This was my way to control that urge.

“Y-you… We’re outside!” Upon noticing what I was doing, Arisa shuddered in slight joy before attempting to reprimand me. Her eyes darted around in a panic.

“No one’s around… I’ll let go as soon as there’s someone. Besides, aren’t we busy with something else?”

“This guy… What should I do with you?”

“Love me more?”

“I’m already doing that, duh? Behave yourself for a while, alright?”

“Understood, ma’am,” I answered but I never really loosened my arms. Holding her this close, I could even feel my lower body heating up.

Uh… This girl will always be irresistible to me. Maybe we can take some time after this? We have a selection of rooms…

Anyway, returning my focus to Izumi-senpai and her dog, the situation never really moved from that.

It’s just that guy begging while the girl remained indifferent, dismissive even. However, she couldn’t say to leave her alone.

Whatever’s going on in her mind, only the girl knows the whole truth.

Anyway, I could only put out a guess.

Despite not wanting to associate with them, she’s literally stringing him along for her convenience.

In a way, Izumi-senpai was using him. It’s something that would be frowned upon by many but for me… I couldn’t care less. There’s a reason for that, after all.

A means for the protection she needed for both Arisa and her.

Thinking about it, if I managed to switch her dependence for that to me, making me their protector, the girl would find a reason to cut them off…

However, that also meant the possibility of her dogs rebelling against her. Or rather, they might take drastic action if ever she stopped associating with them…

I better think of a solution in the future. Not just beating them up to submission. There should be some kind of sure-fire way to nip the trouble in the bud. And I would probably need the help of Arisa and Izumi-senpai herself to come up with one.

“Just this once! Allow me to escort you! I’ve been… your follower for two years now. Won’t you just grace me with some of your attention?” Raising his voice, the guy who looked like he was several pounds packed with fat instead of muscles, begged once more.

Izumi-senpai put a hand on her forehead and said, “Look, I appreciate you following me and answering my beckons but I clearly told you, you won’t get anything from me. I’m going to our club. See you tomorrow.”

Turning around to continue on her way, Izumi-senpai was stopped by the guy’s next words.

“Is it that guy?!”

“Huh? What are you spouting about?” Looking back at him, Izumi-senpai crumpled her eyebrows as she questioned the guy.

In front of me, Arisa also had a reaction. She then looked up and said, “Ruki, stay here. I’ll go and settle that.”

“Wait. He’s talking about me, right?”

“Not necessarily you but there’s a rumor that there’s now a guy close to her. That’s… what he’s talking about there.” Arisa explained before slipping out of my embrace and coming out of our hiding place.

As soon as Izumi-senpai saw her approaching, her face riddled with her difficulty to answer lit up with hope.
