Chapter 1060 Stolen Key?



Chapter 1060 Stolen Key?

“You two did it, didn’t you?” Shizu leered at me as soon as I approached her upon returning to the Student Council Room right after the bell rang.

The other members of the Student Council were still in the room so her voice was only enough for me to hear. Watanabe even followed us with her eyes as though waiting for something else to happen.

When our eyes made contact, the girl smiled meaningfully. I had no idea what that meant but her amusement couldn’t be denied. Either way, she stopped looking at me soon after that. Most likely, it must be because her boyfriend was about to get jealous again.

Is he actually that insecure? Well, I seldom get a chance to talk to that guy and I have no interest in doing so.

“Yes, we did.”

Turning my focus back to face Shizu’s question, I gently smiled and honestly answered in the same volume as she did. I expected her to ask and I never even thought of lying to her about it.

Given the chance, if Shizu’s the one with me there, we would surely end up in the same situation. Even if she tried to point out the things I needed to organize, I would speedily finish those to not waste our time and return to her side.

I guess I was just too horny for them… But my mind was already clouded because of what they did.

I could restrain myself normally and wait for a better time and place. However, today, my libido was also a factor.

Anyway, Shizu and I have already been in that situation a few times before… Even without getting our date or first night, the day might come when we would not be able to hold ourselves back.

“Nothing less than I expected from you, blockhead,” Shizu smirked and stood up from her seat. 𝑜𝑣.𝘯𝑡

She then walked over to Saki and patted the girl’s head. “Are you going to be scared of me again, Saki? It’s fine. I completely understand. If I were in your position, I will do the same. Besides, look at him and his expression, he’s probably thinking that if there’s someone to blame if I ever get upset, it’s only him.”

“It’s great that you know.” I wryly smiled and walked over to them.

A while later, the three of us went down to the Student Support Club to get the others.

I also told the girls about the job that I got so… once they finished preparing, I walked them to their bus stop.

Ah. I also gave a written report to Izumi-senpai, as part of the agreement for borrowing Saki. It’s just like a Job Report. I put there how the girl helped me in cleaning… and other things I’d rather not write on the paper.

Obviously, that got the girl’s attention upon reading it. That’s why on our way to their bus stop, Izumi-senpai squeezed into my side to ask me about.

But there’s no way I would tell her about it, right? She’d probably pass out from rage if I did tell her what the ‘other things’ really meant.

Fortunately, Arisa got in between us, stopping Izumi-senpai’s rampage.

I earned a glare from her through the bus window though… And perhaps, come Monday, she’s going to ask me about it once again.

Minutes later, after seeing off Haruko and the others from their Club, I was now walking with the whole crew of the Literature Club plus Aya.

In the lead, Otsuka-senpai is humming an unfamiliar song in a cheerful tone. Next to her, Ishida-senpai was walking with her head looking straight. Kana was being sandwiched between the two.

I asked Kana before why she was not going home with Momoiro-senpai and the others. And the answer I got was… as it turns out, their houses were in the opposite direction. And because she has that Kenji before, even if she wanted to walk with them at least part way through, he’s not allowing it.

That’s why I told her that if she wanted to, she could now do so. Or better yet, I could accompany her to walk with them.

Anyway, with the seniors walking ahead, the three of us, first-years, were in one line. Obviously, I was sandwiched between my adorable Aya and the pretty glasses girl Rae.

Since Kana would be staying over tonight, she let the two get this chance with me. Much to Ishida-senpai’s chagrin though.

Even without saying anything, I could understand her expressions and bodily gestures. And even through her eyes, the girl was so easy to read.

“Ruki, that key. Do you still have it?” With our topic running out, Rae brought up the thing I showed them earlier at lunch.

The key inside the love letter.

The same as when I showed them the first letter I received, the girls instantly became interested in it.

Nami even suggested to me to try and meet up with the sender. But on the other hand, Satsuki suggested just ignoring it.

With their contrasting opinion earlier, I ended up deciding to just keep it for a while and put it at the back of my mind.

“Yes. Why? Have you noticed something?”

“No. But I believe that’s a stolen key. I overheard earlier from my classmates that one second-year teacher is hunting for the culprit. Apparently, it’s a key to a storage room.”

“Stolen key? T-that… then you should return it at once, Ruki.” Upon hearing Rae’s words, Aya looked panicky as she worriedly suggested that.

I patted the adorable girl’s head to calm her down, “If that’s true then… can it be that it’s a plan to entrap me?”

It’s a possibility. If I went there and opened that room with the key, the sender could just call for the teacher.

But isn’t it too amateur of a plan? I mean, I can present the letter and say that it’s sent to me.

“Maybe. But I think… And in my knowledge, someone stupid will only do that. Who knows? It’s a different key. But I still brought it up to warn you just in case.”

“I see. Thank you, Rae. How reliable.”

“How’s that reliable? I failed to get you info about Sachi. Now, she has already approached you. There’s no point in me watching her anymore.”

This girl… I had no idea she was beating herself over it.

“Well, Sachi isn’t important anymore. You’re already getting there anyway. She just approached me sooner than we all thought.”

“… True. Even so.”

“What about this? Can my Rae help me again this time?”

“Sure! What is it?”

“Find out more about the stolen key. If it’s the one with me then good, I can just send it back to the faculty.”

“Alright, leave it to me!” With her enthusiasm rekindled, Rae punched upwards energetically.

On the side, Aya was also looking at me with expectation. The girl also wanted me to rely on her…

That’s why I thought of a simple task that’s more or less going to help me.

“Aya, can you help me with more book summaries? I want to read more of it to fuel my imagination. You see, we’re going to write a scenario for our Cultural Festival booth, I’ll need to fill my head with more creativity.”

Although book summaries couldn’t provide me the true experience of diving into the book, I just have no time to read books nowadays. Like I said before, I could read one in a matter of weeks but that’s too slow a speed.

“Yes! I’ll prepare this whole weekend! No, tonight!” The same as Rae, Aya also became pumped up with enthusiasm.

When Kana and the other glanced back, they all looked puzzled at the two girls’ sudden fountain of enthusiasm gushing out of them.
