Stealing Spree

Upon my exit from the Student Council Room, I went into my lonely office which was still barebones compared to its neighbor. Despite having arranged things to make it more accommodating and comforting whether it be for me or my visitors, it’s still not as fanciful. Nonetheless, it’s still fine for now. It’s not like I always have a visitor and even if I get one, it will just either be my girls, Eguchi-sensei or Marika.

I spent at least five minutes sorting everything on my table including a report paper concerning the status of Komoe as well as the next case that I haven’t started investigating yet. It’s not urgent and the problematic student wasn’t like Komoe who stopped going to school. Maybe I’ll work on that next week, next month, or when the other two Guidance Counselors nagged at me about it.

I mean, Eguchi-sensei told me not to rush so… I’ll follow her advice more.

Anyway, before finally leaving the room to do my planned patrol, I pulled out my phone to check and reply to the messages I received. Furthermore, I also used the moment to see if a message from someone other than my girls got buried once again.

Surprisingly, nothing of the sort was there.

Aoi updated me about their attempt. It’s unsuccessful because as soon as the cuck saw Aoi alongside Ohori-senpai, he ran away like a fugitive. Even when they chased after him, he disappeared somewhere.

Ohori-senpai followed the plan of sending him a message first but according to her, he simply dismissed that as the girl lying to him. On the other hand, Aoi interpreted that escape as the guy simply refusing to acknowledge the reality of their situation.

Really, it would be so easy if Ohori-senpai stopped considering his reputation. But well, we volunteered to help her so it’s best to follow her wishes. That way, she wouldn’t feel any regret.

Apart from that update, there’s another message that piqued my momentary interest, making me delay my patrol for the third time.

It’s from Nao.

Compared to her usual selfies and photos of the desserts and pastries she baked, the attached photo she sent this time showed another girl beside her.

Well, there’s no need to guess who it was. It’s that egocentric girl that we encountered when we had our tryst. Saionji Azusa.

As always, she had her chin raised while looking like she hated being in that photo. Nonetheless, the first thing I noticed was how the girl was wearing a baking apron the same as Nao. Add the background of the clubroom Nao always used which was filled with ovens, countertops and many related utensils, I could easily guess what exactly happened.

In just two days, Nao who vowed to get her in line already made some progress. Although she probably hadn’t put the egocentric girl under her palm yet, getting Saionji to follow her was already possible.

Or at least, Nao successfully maintained their connection which led to her being able to drag the girl to her club. Most likely to help her bake pastries.

Sending me the photo of them together was to brag about it. Given how Saionji was too unbridled even to my standards, it’s definitely an amazing feat.

I couldn’t help but praise Nao before jokingly telling her to bully the self-proclaimed queen bee. Since I set aside contacting that girl even though I already got her number, seeing her this way was a surprise.

Perhaps in response to my reply, Nao initiated a video call shortly after. Before my screen switched to their view, I could already hear the familiar sound of Nao’s giggles in the background. However, instead of seeing that girl’s face, I was met with Saionji looking as annoyed as before with her eyes slanted which gave her a rebellious vibe.

Then, as soon as my face registered in her head, the girl haughtily huffed while raising her chin once again.

Yep. She’s still the same. She would probably never change at refusing to be looked down on by me.

A moment later, Saionji’s pouted lips stretched into a smirk as she declared, “Shameless junior. No one’s going to bully me. Not even Nao-senpai. Wait for it. I’ll have you munch on a spicy cupcake. Six of them at once! We’ll see how long you can be that conceited!”

Upon hearing that, I couldn’t help but shake my head before matching her haughtiness with shamelessness once again, “Heh. Is this your way of saying you missed me, senpai? I’ll look forward to that cupcake. Do your best!”

Teasing her before sarcastically cheering for her, I successfully got under her skin.

The girl cringed as she almost spat or choked on her spit. Nao, who was out of view, burst into laughter which further irritated Saionji.

But like last time, the proud girl stood her ground and refused to back away, “Psh! I don’t need the encouragement of a shameless junior! I’ll show you. I’ll have you bow to me in the future.”

“Hmm? Of course, I will be bowing down before going down on you.” 𝘯𝘰𝘷．𝑜𝘳𝘨

“You pervert! Stop that!” Although she sounded panicky, the girl maintained her proud posture as she pointed at me.

As a response to that, I winked at her before smirking, “If senpai can admit defeat then I will. Otherwise… I’ll definitely do that one day. I assume you haven’t forgotten our reminders, right?”

“… Shut up! If it’s against you. I will never back down.”

Although she said that, the girl’s expression already looked like that of a defeated cat. Then, without giving me the chance to reply again, she handed the phone back to Nao who was still enjoying the situation.

While wiping the tear that formed in her eyes due to excessive laughing, the girl said, “What do you think, Ruki? Should I teach her how to make spicy cupcakes?”

“This girl… I know you also want to make one for me so it doesn’t matter. I’m already expecting a Russian roulette type of cupcake from both of you.”

“Pfft. Yep. I expected this much from you, Ruki. Let me handle her from here on out.” Agreeing with me with a burst of laughter, Naothen fixed her gaze in Saionji’s direction as she muttered that second part in a low volume. Most likely, Saionji had her back turned to recover from my attacks.

“Well, knowing how you are before, I bet she’ll be under your palm soon.”

“Not really. She’s different. Like you said, she’s the type to never back down. If she’s like that to you, I doubt I can get her to be openly submissive. Let me think… she’s impossible to be collared yet, stringing her along is possible. I’ll get her hooked on making pastries.” Nao giggled once more. Judging from her brilliant eyes, she’s definitely looking at Saionji as her sought-after assistant.

Well, as long as they get along, I guess?

After talking for another minute on the same topic, Nao soon ended the call but before doing so, she handed the phone back to Saionji, telling her to say her farewells to me.

However, what Saionji delivered was an adorable view of her sticking her tongue out at me. I guess I’ll give her tongue a good suck the next time we meet… Nothing personal, it will simply be an answer to that gesture.

Soon enough, I pocketed my phone and made my way to the door. At long last, I’ll be able to do my job.
