Stealing Spree

Chapter 2137: Answering Questions (3)

“Alright. You two. Are we not going back on topic?” I tapped the bed, taking the attention of the two girls currently rolling on the bed.

Futaba’s venting of her frustrations had somehow transformed into the two girls playing around, trying to overpower each other. At one point, Eri got her opportunity to turn the table around, mounting Futaba. The former deviously aimed at the latter’s upper belly in her attempt to get back at her mushing her not-so-meaty cheeks.

Akane and Fuyu also took this entertaining moment to bring the empty tray downstairs and get us more snacks and refreshments.

I mean, they already finished the miraculous tea that Akane brewed earlier. And after so much talking, we were all parched.

Now, left behind with this mischievous gremlin and her poor victim, I couldn’t help but regret not accompanying my girls downstairs instead.

Nevertheless, they left me here to contain the two. Akane and Fuyu knew they wouldn’t calm down until one of them gave up.

“Wait a minute, Ruki! I’m about to win here!”

“You bitch! Stop rubbing my belly! And Onoda-kun, help me out here!”

Heh. So they could still respond to me, huh? Eri was enjoying her position of power. On the other hand, Futaba was too stubborn in not giving up and instead called out to me for help. “Futaba, if I help you, Eri will be mad at me.”

“So what? I’ll be mad at you if you don’t help me!”

“Exactly. So, isn’t it better for me to just watch and ask you two to stop?”

I raised both of my hands, hinting at them that I won’t interfere.

However, an imaginary lightbulb lit up at the side of Eri’s head as she came up with a devious idea.

“Ruki. I have a better offer. Tickle Futaba with me. Here… This will be much better than earlier. She likes to be tickled by you, right?”

“Now, that sounds more inviting than Futaba’s call for help. What to do?” I smirked and then acted like I was about to crawl towards them.

Eri elatedly grinned but Futaba instantly cried out, panic occupying her face.

“Onoda-kun. I swear. If you accept that, I’ll hate you for real!”

Well, that’s fair… She knew the effect of my touch on her… What if there’s also an erogenous zone on that part of her? That’s a recipe for a disaster – on her part at least.

“Relax. Eri, spare Futaba already. I thought you wanted to hear my stories? We’re wasting time, you know?”

“Eh… Are you helping out Futaba?”

“Maybe? Isn’t that enough? She vented on you and you delivered it back to her. Let’s stop there, alright? You’re just going to tire yourselves out. The tea earlier may be enough to give you a good night’s sleep but it won’t stop you from falling asleep from exhaustion.”

“Oh… Okay… I’ll stop. Lucky you, Futaba.”

“Lucky my foot! Ugh. Help me up.”

Finally, Eri listened to me. I guess the buff of being her boy best friend works? As for Futaba, the girl hurriedly tried to fix herself after Eri released her. Her hair and clothes became disheveled, after all. Furthermore, her face was beet red and tears were about to form in the corner of her eyes.

After that, Eri crawled to my side while Futaba also moved over. In her words, she’s distancing herself from Eri – but was that really the case?

Eri hugged my arm while Futaba just leaned close to me. I could hear Eri’s pulse that seemed to radiate her excitement and Futaba was still trying to catch her breath.

I didn’t make a move at all and just waited until the situation calmed down. I also thought of waiting for Akane and Fuyu’s return but Eri was impatient.

So, I thought of a topic and started with it.

“So, on the topic of the Student Council, the truth is… I already leveled up from it.”

“Leveled up?” Eri tilted her head in confusion. As for Futaba, she stared at me with knitted eyebrows. She’s just as confused with the wording I used.

“Yes. Level up. The president invented a new role specifically for me. You see, being a personal secretary to the president can’t be a permanent role. And they didn’t want me to do General Affairs. They’re hands-on with it already.”

“Whoa. They can do that? How fascinating. What kind of role did you get, then?”

“Disciplinary Officer.” I answered with a grin before acting like I was pulling up my armband.”

As I expected, Eri found that very interesting. Her eyes glittered in delight while giggling she giggled,

“Seriously? Ruki as a disciplinary officer. I cannot picture that!”

“Onoda-kun, you’re not unjustly accusing students, are you?” Futaba also reacted but she’s more suspicious than amazed.

I turned to her and smirked, “Unjustly? Girl, I hope I can do that. But I don’t think I have done a great job yet. There’s no Disciplinary Committee in our school so I’m alone. On top of that, I only come to the office twice a week. I even missed one day this week because I accompanied Akane and the others to Tokyo.”

“T-that’s weird. We have the committee at our school but you’re alone? Is your school so peaceful?”

“I don’t think so. I’ve beaten up a few delinquents already and there’s still a lot more.”

“… Wait. I just heard something amazing. Ruki, you beat up delinquents?!”

“Shouldn’t you be suspended for using violence?”

“Yes, I do. But violence, huh? They threw the first punch. It was self-defense.”

I first answered Eri who became more excited from the mention of beat up. She even clenched her fists and mimicked throwing a punch. What a goofy girl. She’s reminding me of Hanabi. As for Futaba, I picked up her concern from her voice. To top it off, she inspected my arm closely, most likely wondering how I beat up delinquents with my not-so-muscular figure. That didn’t last long though. I mean, she’s kind of aware of what I’m capable of, after all. After squeezing my arm and feeling its toughness, she let go and averted her gaze. “Geez. So, it’s true what Fuyu said before. You knocked out delinquents who ganged up on you before she could call for help. Right, you’re also a boxing instructor!” Eri exclaimed. “Yes. But I’m not someone amazing. I just know how to protect myself, alright? Myself and those close to me… Ah. Didn’t I also do the same thing for you two? I couldn’t clearly remember that instance though.”

“… Y-yeah. You did. But you didn’t punch and kick.” Futaba furrowed her brows. Most likely trying to recall that day.

“Of course. How can I do that in public? I just taught them a lesson for trying to touch you with their filthy hands.”

“Pfft. That sounds like you’re protecting your girlfriends, Ruki. But they’re only hitting on Futaba back then! I’m just an extra.”

Was that what happened? I honestly couldn’t remember. Uh… This faulty memory of mine. It’s dissociating with my current mindset, I guess?

“What are you saying? I can also kick them if I want to. Onoda-kun just moved quicker than

me.”

Futaba pouted as she tried to deflect Eri’s statement. However, not a second later, Futaba furtively whispered her gratitude for that one instance, “You did help us out that time. This is

late, but still, thank you.”

Her face visibly turned crimson as soon as she said that. And since Eri was on the other side, the girl didn’t notice that change in her friend’s face.

Although I’m not really looking for them to thank me for something I could barely remember, seeing Futaba like this was kind of satisfying.

Anyway, before we could get back on our main topic, Akane and Fuyu finally returned with another sugary snack and two pitchers of cold water and pineapple juice – Futaba’s request.

Eri excitedly hopped off the bed to help the two before she tattled about what we were currently talking about.

And there, with the addition of Akane and Fuyu, I continued with my abridged stories that made no direct mention of my girls. But even if that’s the case, Fuyu, Eri, and Futaba got so

engrossed.

I don’t know how long I narrated my stories to them but when I finished, the girls were already experiencing the fatigue from their eventful day, making them drowsy.

Having decided to prepare to sleep, the next problem popped up in front of us. How do we

decide on our positions in the bed? Do I get to be in the middle again or take the edge so that I will be as far away from Eri and Futaba?ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
