Stealing Spree

Chapter 505: Amazing Haruko

“Haru…”

While wearing a baseball cap and a baseball jacket to match it along with long baggy pants, the silver-haired senior, Serizawa-senpai gracefully got off the bus.

Although her current attire was as if she didn’t want anyone to see any part of her body, the way she moved still exuded the same grace during the few times that I saw her.

Nonetheless, she’s still as fearful of me as before. As soon as she saw me next to Haruko, Serizawa-senpai instantly averted her gaze as she ran to Haruko’s side.

That’s right. Haruko actually invited her to come to my house by accompanying her.

And as for her reason… it’s because she already deemed my conquest on stealing Himeko and Mina as complete. She actually talked to those two and asked them about what they’re feeling for me.

Himeko bravely admitted to it. Despite being the one who volunteered in confronting me back then for being their rival with Haruko, that girl could now honestly admit in front of Haruko how she loves me.

As for Mina, although she’s still denying it, Haruko cornered her by telling her that if she continued denying it, I would eventually give up.

That’s not true, of course. I was already planning on how I could make myself more appealing for her mother to accept me as her boyfriend after all.

But according to Haruko, after she said that, Mina visibly panicked as she admitted her attraction towards me albeit filled with her stuttering.

It’s still ‘attraction’ but I guess I was already up there. Apart from me, no other guy could get that close to her.

And due to that admittance by Himeko and Mina, Haruko thought of helping me in starting my route towards Serizawa-senpai’s heart by bringing her here. Or in other words, by doubling the chance wherein we could have a chance to interact with each other. ．

In any case, Haruko also stated that if I wasn’t ready to make a move to her yet, I could just treat it as her inviting a friend and not do anything. Or just treat her like how I treated Akane or Kana’s friends.

She put it in my hands on how I would interact with the silver-haired senior whose getup could be likened to a hippie at this moment.

As we began walking out of the bus stop and to the direction of my house, Haruko stopped in her steps to face Serizawa-senpai.

“I told you to wear something nice, Edel. What’s this?”

With a somewhat reprimanding tone, Haruko took off the baseball cap that Serizawa-senpai was wearing, revealing her ponytailed dazzling long silver hair.

As if a child who was bullied, Serizawa-senpai instantly covered his head with her two hands as she somehow squatted in front of Haruko. And in a stuttering manner, she answered, “I… I am wearing it below this, Haru. I-I will take it off later.”

Even if I was only a few steps away from her and I was right in front of her line of sight, the girl tried her hardest not to meet my gaze.

On the other hand, Haruko playfully smiled as she put her hands on Serizawa-senpai’s shoulder.

This looked like bullying but… Serizawa-senpai was actually afraid of me and not Haruko.

And that could be seen when her slight shaking stopped as soon as Haruko held her.

“Edel, let me see, alright?” However, contrary to what she’s expecting, instead of accepting what she said, Haruko didn’t wait for her answer as she already pulled down the zipper of Serizawa-senpai’s jacket.

Before Serizawa-senpai could react, it was already below her navel and her somewhat thick long-sleeved baseball jacket was pulled open. What lies beneath the jacket was actually a frilly dress wherein her milky white shoulders were exposed underneath.

In front of my eyes, I could see the red-faced Serizawa-senpai hurriedly covering her chest and her shoulders by crossing her arms at the front.

Although I couldn’t see it in full, I could say that it was truly befitting of her… foreign beauty.

“H-haru…”

“I’m sorry. You can cover up now. You see, I just want to see my adorable Edel.” Haruko then gently patted her head as if what she did was of no consequence. “Here, let me help you.”

And after doing that, she pulled the zipper she just pulled down upwards.

Watching this event happening before my eyes… it’s enough to show that Haruko could be scary with her girls but the next moment she was like the most virtuous woman who would protect them from harm.

That’s amazing, to say the least.

While Serizawa-senpai turned her body around to fix what needed to be fixed, Haruko then looked at me and winked with the same playful smile she showed earlier.

As expected, Haruko did all that for me to see Serizawa-senpai and her glorious beauty that the silver-haired senior wanted to keep hidden.

After Serizawa-senpai finished fixing her jacket and putting the cap back on her head, we resumed our walk.

Even though Haruko did all that, a few words from her was enough to make Serizawa-senpai become like a tamed cat rubbing her cheeks on Haruko’s arm.

Although it might look like Haruko had a tight hold on the girl that even after embarrassing her like that, the girl still trusted her deeply.

But looking at it from her perspective, Haruko probably carefully asked her to dress nicely and… she didn’t reject it. But when she arrived, she’s wearing a different outfit than what Haruko asked for.

In any case, that just showed how much trust she’s putting onto Haruko.

But Haruko, although her intention was to help Serizawa-senpai, she’s giving her to me against the girl’s wish.

That’s also what happened with Mina and Haruko but the two didn’t have the fear of men like what Serizawa-senpai was exhibiting. So this was truly a tricky situation, not just for me but also for Haruko and Serizawa-senpai as well.

When we arrived at our house, Akane and Yae were already waiting at the front door. The two only winked at me before they crowded around Haruko and greeted the silver-haired senior.

As it turns out, they’re aware that she’s coming with Haruko. They probably talked it out in their group or just with the three of them.

Since Akane and Yae were girls, Serizawa-senpai didn’t show the same reaction as when she showed me. In truth, I even saw how she smiled at the warm welcome of the two.

And that’s probably the result of Haruko’s help in opening her up and trying to pull her out of introversion.

“Hubby, you looked like you had a lot of things on your mind,” Haruko commented as we both moved to a spot in the house away from Serizawa-senpai’s searching eyes.

And with that, I understood her other intention for bringing her here.

This was also like a test or a challenge for Serizawa-senpai to interact with other girls apart from Haruko and the members of the Poem Appreciation Club.

“I do have a lot on my mind but this time… I must say… My Haruko is amazing.”

She’s truly amazing this time and I admire her a lot for that. From her initial intention to just help me with my desire, although that was sacrificing all of her girls for me, if I hadn’t changed, I could guess that she would probably stop me if Himeko or Mina failed to change their initial impression of me.

“Amazing? How?”

“Don’t play dumb. You’re truly looking out for those girls and I like that a lot about you.” I put my hand on her cheeks and kissed her once more.

“And here I thought it will take a few minutes before you get it.”

“Didn’t I say it before? When you’re with me, my entire focus will always be on you.”

“But you did look at Edel earlier. Were you still focused on me back then?” With a teasing smile on her lips, Haruko stared at me who probably had a dumbstruck expression at the moment.

Nonetheless, Haruko didn’t wait for me to answer her question as she pulled my head down for another kiss.

Even though we just did it outside before coming to pick up Serizawa-senpai, the fires of our desire for each other burned anew as we eventually picked a room from one of the unoccupied rooms in our house.
