Stealing Spree

Chapter 1654 Who can block us?

“Heh. What’s this? Is it now forbidden to visit Kujou-senpai? ” I said as I stood there before the wall they made with their bodies.

“Go back, Onoda-kun.” Tanaka-senpai, who was positioned at the front, answered me. There’s nothing much that could be gleaned from her expression but I guess her words were the collective will of these clowns.

Really, what happened with teaming up with Takashima? Is she being diligent in his role as Ichihara Jun’s mole? ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖

With how dependent his revenge against Ichihara Jun is on me; someone who successfully stirred the pot, Tanaka-senpai here probably has a different goal. She’s playing the double agent role quite well, after all.

Considering Marika’s followers are also part of this, she probably went along with what they thought would be best for the girl.

I mean, in their eyes, I’m the problem.

Because of me, the previously naive girl who could only bite her lips at every wrongdoing Ichihara does to her has already changed a lot, leading her to start disregarding their advice.

Their sentiments were understandable, to say the least. However, as Marika’s followers, shouldn’t they be supporting her?

That should be the case normally. However, after dealing with them these past few weeks, they’re only her followers in name. In the end, they all served either the Ichihara or the Kujou, not the girl herself.

Even those two who chased after me and warned me before weren’t really that loyal to her. They’re only in it for the benefits they would receive when the two families’ agreement was completed…

If anything, this Tanaka-senpai was probably the only one going to stand by her decision in the end.

“Senpai, I’ll only go back if Kujou-senpai sent me away herself,” I answered, not minding how the clowns would take that.

I even intentionally smirked as I scanned my eyes among them.

And the result? I heard the sounds of gnashing teeth, clicking of tongues, and outright cursing at me.

That’s hilarious.

And among those, only Tanaka-senpai showed a complicated expression.

She frowned and put on a helpless smile. Being at the front of this, she had the liberty to show a different facial reaction.

“I apologize, Onoda-kun. Please don’t make this difficult for all of us.” She eventually said before taking another step to the front.

While she probably looked like a leader to them, the reality was different. She actually did that to hide the fact that she had her phone hidden inside her uniform. It was dangling on her neck through a lace. And by acting like she was going to push me away, she pulled it out to send a message to someone.

Understanding who she sent it to, I played along with her.

With a louder voice, I responded to her, “Don’t be, senpai. I understand that you’re all here because you are ordered to…”

As expected, even without completing that, a lot of them already reacted. They averted their gazes as guilt crept upon their faces.

Tanaka-senpai incredulously stared at me before returning to her previous spot. She held in her laughter but her face was already showing her sense of accomplishment through an impish smile.

The next moment after that, the door that they were preventing me from reaching opened from the inside.

Who else would open that?

It’s the golden ringlet girl. And although I couldn’t see her completely, there was someone behind her. Someone who was probably left inside the room to prevent her from approaching the door.

Well, she failed at that task.

Ignoring every follower that was serving as a barricade against me, the energetic golden ringlet girl opened up her own path in the middle of them to reach me.

Because they’re certain that Marika wouldn’t be able to come out even if I made a scene here, their reaction was slow.

By the time they realized that the girl already slipped past them, Marika had already reached me.

“Junior-kun, you came to visit!”

–

–

Under their stupefied gazes, Marika happily pulled me into their clubroom while clinging to my arm. With how bright her smile is, none of them could utter a word. They could only watch us pass them by at the path the ringlet girl created.

Furthermore, the one girl who was still inside the clubroom was pushed out by the girl before she firmly closed the door on them, leaving us all alone inside.

Ah. Right. There’s someone who reacted differently.

When we passed by her, Tanaka-senpai covered her mouth as she was probably grinning at the result of her machination.

Though I could accomplish the same thing as she did, I’m gonna give her the credit for stepping up this time. For sure, taking the initiative to help me out was her way of showing their current stance.

Even if she’s still unaware that I already know about Takashima, she definitely learned that things already progressed this much yesterday.

“Ruki-kun…” Not minding the clamor that started to grow outside the room, Marika moved to my front, her face immediately finding the comfort of my chest.

Likewise, my arms locked behind her, pulling her in my tight embrace.

I put on my best smile before lowering my lips to hers. Marika’s lips met mine halfway and almost instantly, we were locked in an intimate kiss.

Even if we saw each other yesterday, there was no chance for us to be alone together. Her desire to kiss me definitely piled up and doubled today.

Of course, I feel the same way. But to make it fair for her, I gave her the free reign on how to go from here.

And understanding that, Marika began taking the initiative to further deepen our connection.

Her tongue invaded my mouth, seeking mine. Her arms tightened around my nape as she strongly pulled my head down. Then using that as a support, she pushed herself closer to me before climbing up.

As her legs wrapped around me, I quickly moved my arms beneath her to keep her balanced.

Right, In the end, she gave back the reign to me as I carried her further into the room.

Unlike the last time we were here, I brought us to the most comfortable spot, laying her down on it.

Naturally, with how our kisses became unrelenting, I could only follow suit, placing myself on top of her.

Her legs remained locked behind me so I placed my knee in between them and used it as a support to prevent my weight from being transferred to her.

Marika sweetly giggled when our kisses paused for a moment. I had to use a cushion for her head, after all.

At the moment, her elation was thoroughly displayed. Most likely, she had already forgotten the scene we left outside.

In her head, there’s only me.

“This feels like that night, Ruki-kun…” With a dreamy look, Marika started caressing my face.

“Is it? Your bed is softer than this couch.” I playfully answered. I understood what she was trying to say.

This situation was just like that night, after all. I got on top of her and savored what little time we had. Then, we also rolled on it to our heart’s content.

“Of course, it is. You’re being silly, Ruki-kun,” Marika giggled softly before pulling my head down for another kiss. “Must you come to visit me unannounced? We could’ve prevented that from happening.”

“Well, I thought I should surprise you this time. I guess that’s a blunder on my part.”

“Next time, I’ll be the one visiting you, Ruki-kun. No one can block me.” Marika smugly declared before resuming what we started.

It’s really a blunder but then again, I only have so little time to truly prepare for the surprise. And if I told her about this, she’s going to wait for me outside. None of them could stop her.

And with that, it’s pretty much announcing our relationship to everyone.

However, with what happened, it will gather the same result.

For sure, everyone was already speculating what was happening inside this room and before long, that idiot would be showing up.

Is it about time to deal with him once and for all? However, I doubt it will end easily. Even if something happened to us here… He probably won’t give up.

Then…we might as well enjoy ourselves before dealing with that.
