Stealing Spree

With her manager arriving at that exact moment, I managed to watch how Yue comically flopped down in embarrassment of being caught dancing. It’s something that I would definitely remember to use as a material to tease her when I got the chance. .𝘤𝘰𝑚

And since we couldn’t let her manager know – for now – that she’s in contact with me, I disconnected the call before sending her a simple message saying, ‘I will love to see that dance again later.’

Her response came much later with a minute-long explanation of why I should forget that dance and focus on her singing voice instead.

I listened to that more than once and each time I did, I couldn’t restrain myself from chuckling. She’s just too silly to even explain. It’s as if she predicted that I was going to use that instance to tease her.

Well, I would surely do that. So, to satisfy both of us, I would be pretending to listen to her words. For now.

With the Mentor Program’s time ending in a few minutes, the number of students walking around the school gradually increased.

Some students already finished and started preparing for their clubs while some gathered along with their friends, whiling the time away.

As for me, I first went to the Administration Building. My feet that already memorized their path brought me in front of Shio’s room without much fuss.

I promised to help her wear the necklace I gave her earlier.

Sure enough, upon seeing that I was the one knocking on her door, my lovely Shio pulled me inside her room, handing me the necklace before expectantly turning around and lifting her hair so that I could slip it around her neck.

In this way, she’s no different than Akane from last night. She was so excited and happy that once I finished locking it, she turned around and kissed me filled with her gratitude and affection.

“I’ll treasure this, Ruru. And I’m going to treasure every moment I can spend with you.”

That’s what she said before leading me further into her room. The same as before, I found ourselves entwined with each other. For the next few minutes up to the chiming of the bell, I spent the rest of the time with her, quietly…

After leaving the Administration Building, I went back to the Club Building, passing by the now-empty abandoned clubroom and reaching the third floor or specifically, the Student Council Room to pick up Satsuki.

I told her earlier that I was going to visit her club again. And since I had my Student Council Duty for today, I thought of informing Shizu that I would definitely be late again.

Fortunately, they’re doing their meeting for the Mentor Program right inside. And since there’s still a few minutes of a window before the other members of the Student Council arrived, I got the chance to be with the two girls.

As soon as I entered the room, their eyes instantly fell on me.

“How diligent must this guy be? Satsuki, keep an eye on him. Who knows which girl will be caught in his web next?” Shizu’s lips stretched into a playful grin as her eyes narrowed into a slit.

She had her arms crossed as if a prefect waiting for a student to scold.

Well, she’s beautiful as always and my eyes already got taken in by her but hearing those words, I could only smile wryly.

Furthermore, the girl beside her had the same playful grin. She first clicked her tongue before crossing her arms and legs. “Exactly my worry, Shizu. He has that tendency to quickly get along with any girl. He’s too troublesome to let loose.”

They’re getting along too well, huh? This is a surprise. Especially, considering how Shizu still stubbornly clings to her wish to monopolize me.

In any case, this was a welcome sight for me. I better capitalize on it to make the two even closer.

Thinking about it, the two had their similarities in how they were perceived by the others.

Shizu was cold and scary while Satsuki was simply unapproachable and… scary.

Well, that’s just how they appeared for the others but for me, Shizu was a glass cannon. Curled up within her was the scaredy-cat girl who was afraid to show any weakness on her part. Satsuki, on the other hand, was often misunderstood because of her naturally grumpy expression. Her tendency to glare and click her tongue in annoyance was also not helping.

In any case, both of them were just as lovely. Besides, they’re both working on improving.

Shizu had started to rely on the others and not just be the commander giving orders to her soldiers. While Satsuki started to welcome the warmth and be open to those in her club. She’s now joining them whenever the senior or anyone else would suggest a get-together after a practice or match.

Although there’s someone irritating in the Student Council in the form of the Vice President, Shizu could easily handle him, even more so whenever I was here. And Satsuki’s clubmates were all amiable people. Some were rough and playful but all in all, they all cared for the grumpy girl. For sure, they’re already used to her being like that.

“What do you think of me, a womanizer?” I rebutted what they just said but it’s in a way to keep the atmosphere rolling naturally.

“What else? Do you think you’re a saint?”

Satsuki scoffed while Shizu clapped her hand lightly before saying, “That’s a fitting description for you, Ruki. The saying ‘you know yourself best’ is true.”

“Do I have a chance to justify my actions?”

“None. Knowing you, you don’t need any justification. You’re the type who will move on impulse.”

Well, I wouldn’t call it impulse but it’s accurate to say that I would make a move without looking for a justification for my action. Look at what happened earlier. I just went and knocked the guy out when Arisa-senpai possibly arranged that meeting for us to have a common ground.

I have to apologize again when I see her later.

“That’s true. Ruki, just accept that title and come sit here.” Shizu agreed with Satsuki’s words. She then tapped the empty space between them and ushered me to it.

I lifted my arm to my sides and surrendered to their words as I traversed that little distance and settled myself comfortably between these two gorgeous ladies.

“Stop with your perverted expression, idiot. Are you here to pick me up?” Satsuki asked as she raised my arm to squeeze in closer to my side.

“And you’re here to report to me how you’re going to be late again, right?”

And copying Satsuki, Shizu squeezed in to my other side. With my arms settled across their shoulders, I boldly pulled the two closer and kissed them alternately before answering.

“Is this answer enough?” I asked after leaving their lips alone.

Although both of them accepted it willingly, they still kept up with their act.

“That’s too vague, I need more to determine if it’s enough.”

“Un. That’s truly not enough. Especially when you’re holding a flower in both hands while carrying other flowers’ scent.” Shizu meaningfully said as she pushed her face on my neck and took in my scent.

Upon hearing that, Satsuki did the same and another click of her tongue rang out inside the room. Moments later, she turned my head to face her before burying my face in her chest. Shizu then began nibbling and biting my ear.

… Shio’s scent stuck to me and most likely Arisa-senpai’s too.

Now, I don’t know if this is a punishment or a reward…
