Stealing Spree

Chapter 1113 Jealous

Before Izumi-senpai could notice that I was taking advantage of her by turning our situation into a hug, I let go of her and just returned to caressing her head and brushing her fairly well-kept hair endearingly.

Once she gathered her thoughts, the girl also returned to someone who acted as though she didn’t want to be near me. However, her face betrayed her again as what happened possibly sank into her mind.

I didn’t comment on that to save her from further embarrassment and just asked her if we should go.

She didn’t answer right away. The girl lowered her head and contemplated.

A while later, Izumi-senpai weakly nodded, reached for my sleeve, and muttered silently, “Shameless idiot, I can accompany you later. They might stop with what they planned if I’m with you.”

Alright. This girl is being too much of a darling now… Really, Ogawa wasted his chances with this girl. Beneath her delinquent front that she’s using to protect herself and Arisa, she’s like this. A very kind girl. No matter how much she stated that she hated me, she’s extending her hand like this to me.

Well, it could be because she’s starting to fall for me but more than likely, she just didn’t want to suffer the same fate as that guy from last year.

“Mhm. That’s possible. However, it’s more likely that they’ll become more rabid, right? It’s Uchiyama. Your self-proclaimed dog. Just leave it to me and accompany Arisa and the others, senpai. I’ll be fine.” I put on another reassuring smile, hoping that it would remove any lingering worry in her mind.

Of course, I was wrong. It didn’t do well in removing that. Instead, Izumi-senpai pulled me closer to her and hugged the hell out of me, pushing my head down on her chest.

Perhaps she couldn’t think of anything else that she resorted to this. She ought to be upset about my stubbornness but couldn’t do that at all so…

“Idiot. If I see you with as much as a scratch tomorrow, believe me, I will scold you until you repent for your complacency.”

“Sure. I’ll be at your mercy, senpai. Thank you for worrying about me. You know, you’re making me fall for you even more.”

“Be silent, will you? Don’t go off and steer our topic there. I’m doing this for Arisa. For Arisa, you hear me?”

“Yes, yes, I believe you.” After saying this, my arms moved and hugged the girl back. This time, even though she’s well aware of it, Izumi-senpai let me do it. Not only that, but when I lifted my head to stare at her face, the girl didn’t turn her head away and stared back at me. She then pursed her lips and widened her eyes a bit as though saying, ‘What are you looking at?’

I was already tempted to kiss her at this point but well, I better not do it yet. I simply shook my head. Following this, I pushed us down on the bed and snuggled closer inside her embrace.

Izumi-senpai, albeit surprised, settled in quickly as she pulled me closer to her. If someone would enter this room and see us in this bed, they’d think we’re doing something naughty. But well, this was just us being comfortable in each other’s embrace… Oh. No. I was the one being comforted, I got to bury my face in her chest, after all. It’s soft enough that I wouldn’t mind sleeping on it. Her fragrance was also something I could get addicted to.

Just like this, we spent the rest of the morning until it was five minutes before the start of classes.

Luckily, Hayashi-sensei still hadn’t shown up. And on our way out, I walked with the girl in silence.

By the time we reached the school building and at the point where we had to separate, the two of us looked at each other and nodded. There’s no need for words anymore. We already said everything that needed to be said anyway.

The classes started and the time quickly passed. Soon enough, it’s lunchtime.

On my side, Satsuki grumpily pouted without saying anything. She’s like this even when she showed up earlier. I hadn’t told them what Izumi-senpai warned me about yet so… she’s probably grumpy about something else. It made me wonder what it could be but four periods later, she still hadn’t answered me.

A second later, the girl stood up, grabbed my arm, and pulled me out of our classroom. ．

With the other girls wondering what was happening as they watched us leave, I could only say that we’d be back right away as they prepared our table to eat.

Well, I also failed to hear their replies since we were already outside and Satsuki was still pulling on me. As I matched her pace, we went from a crowded hallway to a deserted one.

Perhaps deeming that it was silent enough, she turned around and pushed my back on the wall. And following that, she slapped the wall beside my head and leaned closer as though caging me in.

This girl… Did she just kabedon me? Anyway, there’s no point mulling over it. I watched the girl’s grumpy face turn softer. Soon, she opened her mouth to say something.

“You…” She started. Whatever it was, she’s finding it hard to articulate properly. Nonetheless, I waited instead of pressing her on.

“… I heard from Setsu-nee. You and Juri-san are going somewhere together?”

Ah… So, it’s about that.

“Satsuki, I won’t deny that. However, based on your reaction, how did she relay it? I bet she added enough flair to make you this jealous.”

Yup. This girl was acting jealously. But not in the same sense as when she’s being jealous of the other girls in our complex relationship. It’s a little more intense.

“I-I’m not!” She denied it but it’s all written on her face.

I smiled and pushed my lips on hers before saying, “Yes, you are. Come on. Let’s not talk in this hallway, someone might see us.”

Straightening my back and getting out of her cage, I grabbed her hand and led her further in. After looking around, I picked a room and entered. Luckily, it opened without needing a key.

As soon as the door closed behind us, I continued leading her further inside as I found us a chair to sit on.

Instead of taking two, I only picked one. I sat down on it and pulled her down on my lap.

Although the girl resisted a bit, she eventually gave in and sat sideways, one of her arms hooked to the back of my head.

“… What now?” Satsuki asked, her grumpiness returning.

“Hmm. What about another kiss?”

“Be serious, you idiot!”

Or so she said. But before I could reply to that, the girl already cupped my cheeks and initiated an intimate one where even our tongues got involved.

Doing that for at most two minutes, Satsuki eventually pulled away and huffed unhappily. Nonetheless, I found her really adorable like this… It’s kind of taking me back to that time when I was still trying to steal her. Her reactions were priceless.

“Still jealous? I told you, Setsuna-nee-san probably tried to rile you up. And she’s successful. Here, look at this.”

I brought up my phone and went to my chat box with Koizumi-san. Everything was written there, after all.

A minute later, the girl gave my phone back before throwing herself deeper in my embrace before she apologetically whispered, “Ruki, I’m sorry.”

“What’s there to apologize for? It’s fine. Everyone will react the same, right?”

“No… Setsu-nee said you’re going on a date with Juri-nee. And you haven’t told us how close you are to her… so I thought…”

“I see. My Satsuki is this adorable when jealous.”

“I hate you for this, you idiot. Stop teasing me.”

“But I’m just stating the truth. Anyway, as for Koizumi-san, I actually don’t know yet. But she seems interested in me, don’t you think so?”

“Yeah… It’s clear as day… You playboy.” Satsuki agreed right away and soon enough, she drowned me again with her kisses, venting out whatever jealousy she felt.

From sitting sideways, she eventually straddled me to get most of our situation… But since the others were waiting for us, we soon stopped before we both get in the mood for a more intimate moment.
