Chapter 129: Satsuki's Choice

"T-the practice ended already and my mother told me to bring that basket of fruits."

He stuttered a bit before telling his reason why he is here. Of course that's probably an excuse. He's here to see what state we're in.

Satsuki fixed her posture and clothes before going to the door so he probably didn't see something amiss. But the fact that we're alone in this house and me being in her room, that made him panic.

"I see. Do you want to come in?"

Still maintaining my normal voice, I acted friendly to him, just like always.

"N-no. I'll go now. I somehow angered her."

What the hell is with this guy? He's a bit forceful earlier and now he became this timid. Either way, this is better. With what happened, Satsuki will probably be more confused.

"Alright. See you tomorrow? I still haven't learned about the thing you told me to ask so…"

She's in the middle of telling me about the incident, you know? And you knock on that part.

"That could wait. Can you tell her I'm sorry?"

He had a dejected face as if he had done something horrible. This guy…

"No problem. I thought it was a thug, really. What happened that made you agitated?"

Do I even need to ask? It's because of me. Even if I don't want to feel bad for him. When I see him like this, I guess I should let him be happy with someone. As long as it's not Satsuki, I can let him be happy with someone.

She's already mine and I won't give her back to him. In the first place there's nothing going on between them. I inserted myself before they took up the courage to confess to each other.

"I don't know. I think I just made her hate me."

He looked longingly towards the interior of the house, trying to catch a glimpse of Satsuki.

"Don't worry about that, I'll explain it to her."

I patted his shoulder to cheer him up even though I knew that wouldn't work.

This guy always treated me as a friend but what did I do to him? I stole the girl he couldn't get the courage to confess to.

If it's before all the things that happened to me, I wouldn't think anything wrong about this and move on. But now, I feel like Satsuki wouldn't be happy once we reveal to him about us. This is the guy she fell in love with for the past 4 years. And it probably stemmed from something that he did way back then.

He's not a bad guy, he was just unlucky that he met me.

Ah. As long as it's not Satsuki. It's too late to give up on her, you know? I already love the girl.

"Onoda, can you tell me if you also started liking her? I couldn't get this out of my mind."

Faced with this question. Should I lie or should I tell him the truth? What would Satsuki like? What would be better for us to move forward?

"I don't think it will ease your mind even if I tell you I don't. Man. Clear up your mind and think properly, after that, let's talk again."

Right. Even if I lie to him. It wouldn't have any effect at this moment.

"You're right... I'll go back first. Onoda. Take care of her."

He looked straight at me. Maybe looking for something that would give away my thoughts about Satsuki.

Even his last sentence is directed to the idea that I've already made a move on her.

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to her. We're at her house, right?"

Hearing those words, his eyes trembled a bit before he nodded and went out of the door. I watched on as he quietly disappeared outside. Whatever it is that happened to them before, I really want to know about that now.

After confirming that Sakuma already left, I moved back to the living room and saw Satsuki restlessly sitting there. She couldn't look straight at me.

She eavesdropped, right?

"He already left."

I told her as I sat next to her.

"Seeing him like that, it feels like I did something unforgivable to him."

Satsuki was also trembling. She's probably blaming herself. To succumb to me and to betray her love for him, she's starting to find that unforgivable.

"You did nothing. I told you, all the blame was on me. I started this, let me settle this."

I circled my arms around her shoulder and pulled her to lean her body to me. She didn't answer and just continued staring down.

"If I didn't appear before you, none of this would've happened. But Satsuki. I already love you. Maybe I did something horrible to him but this is now my bare feelings for you."

"He always treated me as a friend and what I did to him was to steal you for myself, the girl he clearly likes. See? I'm the one who did something unforgivable."

Satsuki is back at the state she was in when we're at the infirmary, on the bed next to the sleeping Sakuma.

She's about to break from what happened. I have to prevent that and push the blame to me.

"Once he cleared up his mind, I'm going to tell him everything that I did. But that doesn't mean I'm going to give up on you."

I lifted up her head and turned it to face me. There were a bit of tears trying to form at the corner of her eyes. She's thinking and I don't know if it's about me, Sakuma or us.

"Ruki. Carry me to my room…"

She only managed to utter these words. She didn't comment on everything that I just said but I'm sure she heard it and was thinking about it.

I nodded and did what she asked, though she's taller, she weighed only a little heavier than Akane. When I first went here, I only supported her to go to the bathroom after our first time. But now carrying her upstairs, I couldn't tell her that this is a bit difficult.

Arriving at her room, I put her down to her bed. But since her arms never let go of me, I placed myself next to her and hugged her as well.

Feeling her body heat like this, I couldn't help but have a reaction but it's not the time for that.

"Satsuki."

Whispering her name on her ears, she looked up to me.

"Tell me, Ruki. I did betray him, right? Even if you told me to blame it all on you. It's my choice to be taken by you."

She's starting to rethink everything that we did. Like with Kana, she also chose to do that with me at one point.

"It's not him you betrayed, Satsuki. In the first place, you two only have feelings for each other but neither of you confess. If you're going on that idea that you betrayed him, I'm going to stop you."

If there's anything she betrayed, it's her love for him.

"Right… I wanted him to do it but you came and appeared before us, and you made me like this."

She lightly hit my chest as a protest but that only made me hug her tightly. I wanted to ease her worry but I couldn't think of anything. In the end, it will still be her decision.

"Ruki. I told you, I already chose between the two of you. And who I've chosen is now here with me. You really did something unforgivable. Ah no. We both did."

"Don't take the blame off me, please? If you did that, I will just keep thinking about it when the time comes."

While her face was buried in my chest, her muffled voice was clearly heard by me. She really chose me and she didn't want me to let her think that it's only my fault. She will only be at ease if some of the blame also fell on her.

"Alright. I hear you. Let's tell him about us."

Hearing my words, she looked up at me and nodded.

"You won't let me regret my decision, right?"

Satsuki asked. She wanted more assurance from me.

"I'll take care of you. I love you, Satsuki. If you have any complaints just straight up tell it to me. I'm a bit dense on sensing that. But Satsuki, I couldn't abandon the others just for one. If you can accept that--"

Before I could finish what I was saying, Satsuki put a finger on my lips to stop me from talking.

"Stop at that, Ruki. For now, I don't want to hear about them when we're alone. You're solely mine at this moment, right?"

Ah. At this moment, she still couldn't accept the other girls but yeah, we'll get there soon.

"...Yes. That's how it is."

She nodded and took my lips on her own initiative. It was just a quick kiss but her feelings were conveyed from it.

"I can't say those words yet, but know that you're already here."

She pointed at her heart. Satsuki finally confessed her feelings to me and it's not just the like she told me before. I finally have a place in her heart. She chose me over Sakuma.

"Alright. Can I shout here?"

I sat up and asked her.

"Idiot, why?"

With an incredulous look on her face, she's confused at what I said.

"To tell everyone how happy I am?"

To shout about how happy I am now. I feel like I really need that. Even with what happened just earlier. Satsuki got the final push from that.

"Just kiss me, idiot. Focus on me now. I still have to tell you the story about us."

She pulled me down to her and like she asked, I took her lips again. And from just using our lips, it grew into a more passionate one. I've been restraining myself since earlier. Now that we're here at her room, I don't think I can still do that.

After what happened, I want her to feel how much I love her. So from her side, I put myself on top of her. She just accepted it and circled her arms to the back of my neck and pulled my head down to her.

"Tell me about it after this."

Satsuki understood what I'm talking about and with a nod, she just gave me permission to do what was on my mind.

The story could wait, for now I want to take her again and just by looking at her, she's the same. To take our mind off at what just happened, we let ourselves be consumed by our longing for each other.

Chapter 130: The Incident (1)*

The silence of Satsuki's room was slowly filled by moans and sighs of pleasure. There's also the sounds of ruffling sheets as we move along on top of her bed.

Taking our mind off from what had just happened, we drown ourselves with our lust. Satsuki's aggressive nature was let loose as she hungrily sucked on my tongue while trying to undress me.

Unlike in school, we could do more and not restrain ourselves in here. Her legs were already clinging to my back as my growing bulge kept rubbing on her.

Soon, our clothes were all lying on the floor with both of us naked on top of her bed.

Spreading her legs open, my hand immediately traveled to it. Feeling her most sacred place using my hand. It's already wet.

I rubbed it using my fingers and Satsuki started letting out more pleasurable moans. By how turned on she is right now, this place became more sensitive. With just my touch, it kept on twitching as if it's asking for more.

She then looked up at me with pleading eyes. Even without any words exchanged, I understood what she's asking of me.

I smiled at her and put down a kiss on her lips. And while our lips were locked, I once again put myself on top of her.

Her hand immediately circled around my back as her legs spread wider. With my cock aimed at her entrance, Satsuki lifted her butt up to let me insert it easily. Pushing the tip inside, a warm and tight feeling immediately enveloped my cock. And from there, it easily slid inside her like it's waiting for my cock.

Once the whole shaft reached her deepest part, it clenched tightly as if she didn't want me to pull out.

Satsuki's erotic face was in my full view as I started moving my hips.

She tried to bite her lips in a bid to restrain herself from moaning. Seeing her doing that, I couldn't help but tease her. My head went down on her neck and started licking and sucking the part that was most sensitive there. My hands then went on her twin hills, rubbing it as my hips gradually grew faster at pounding her insides.

Being attacked in her three sensitive spots, Satsuki already gave up on restraining her moans. And along those moans she made was the voice of her calling out my name sweetly, urging me to do her more.

From our first time here last week, Satsuki already grew this erotic from our sneaky sex on school.

And with that, we spend 2 hours satisfying ourselves with each other. Cumming inside her twice, Satsuki's bed was already stained by my semen that spilled out of her. But even then, Satsuki was satisfied by what we did. She's now resting her head on my chest and her whole body was on top of me as she fell asleep after our second round in which she's the one who took the lead.

Staring at her pretty face up close like this, I'm really glad that I stole her from Sakuma. There's no regret about it, I came to love her. Maybe it was my desire who started it but thinking about it, I already planned to steal her even if they're not a couple yet. And that was before all of the changes and realization I went through.

Maybe like Aya, even without Sakuma in the background, I will make Satsuki mine.

I kissed her forehead before I also drifted to sleep. Being here in her bed while she's on top of me was also comfortable. And after my almost sleepless night with Akane at the hotel, I'm also a little tired.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Satsuki tracing my lips with her fingers. When she saw me open my eyes, she gave me her sweetest smile before kissing me again.

"How long was I asleep?"

I asked her when our lips separated, she already put on her underwear and shirt, other than that she didn't put on her pants again leaving me with a view of her with only her panties on down there. Her plump thighs that I love were in full view and by how sexy she looks right now, my cock couldn't help but react to it.

Since I was still naked, she immediately noticed it.

"Pervert. It's only 30 minutes."

She answered while she moved her hand onto my erect cock. 𝓃𝒪𝑣𝑬𝗅𝓊𝓈𝐁.𝒞𝑶𝓂

"This guy here is lively again, Ruki."

Satsuki started stroking it and without even me urging her, she opened her mouth and started licking it. After seeing it lubricated again, she started to give me a blowjob. Putting the tip inside her mouth, She started to take it in slowly.

When she couldn't go any further, she started bobbing her head up and down as I watched on, feeling the pleasure from what she's doing for me.

I could see my cock going in and out of her mouth and her eyes that kept staring at me as she did it earnestly.

"Ahh. Satsuki… don't we need to clean up?"

Feeling the pleasure again, I couldn't help but moan from what she's doing.

"I have to calm this down first."

Satsuki answered as she took it out for a bit to continue licking it.

This is her first time doing this, I could still feel her teeth somehow grinding on my cock but she's learning as she goes. She's probably imitating something she watched. This girl…

Letting her do what she wanted, I gave in to the pleasure as I guided her to be better at it. Every instruction I told her, she took it to mind.

Soon enough, I could feel myself cumming again. And for the third time, I shoot everything inside her mouth. Just like that time in the bathroom stall.

"Haahh... That was amazing, Satsuki."

Giving her an honest praise at this time, Satsuki was too embarrassed to look up at me, she still had my semen inside her mouth.

After a while, Satsuki gulped it down before hitting me. She took that praise as me teasing her.

"Idiot, pervert. I won't do it again if you keep teasing me."

She threw me her pillow and I acted like it hit me hard to satisfy her.

Dropping back down to bed, Satsuki climbed on top of me again.

"We did it again here in my room…"

She murmured as her eyes stared at me intently, it's like she's trying to remember my face that's currently only focused on her.

"Un. Next time, let's do it in my room."

"Pervert. That's not what I meant. It's only been a week and we're back here again."

Ah. She's right, it's only been a week since I took her first time here. But compared to before, there's no more resistance from her, she already accepted me.

"Ah. Well, my Satsuki is always irresistible. If it's possible I would like to take you everyday."

"This guy... You're really a pervert, right?"

"I couldn't deny that. But if you want, we could slow this down. Spending time with you like in that cake shop earlier. It's enough to satisfy me. As long as I'm with you, Satsuki."

Spending time normally, that's really not bad. I already did it with Aya at the bookstore and Kana at the karaoke. Then with Akane yesterday during our date. Even without being put in an erotic situation, we enjoyed each other's company.

Today with Satsuki, just watching her eating the cake and then feeding me, there's that fluffy atmosphere I also felt during those times with the other girls.

"I also liked that, Ruki. The owner thinks we're a couple."

Satsuki visibly blushed upon remembering it. Well, she acted like a tsundere there but I already noticed that she was happy from how the owner saw us.

"We're already a couple, right?"

Planting a kiss on her lips again. Satsuki nodded as her answer.

"About Sakuma, don't blame yourself over it. It's all my fault. I took advantage of his indecisiveness to steal you from him."

Before she went to that idea again, I reaffirmed her.

"You really won't let me blame myself?"

I shook my head as an answer to her. Even if she wanted to blame herself, I don't want her to be stuck in it.

"Think about it. If I didn't appear before you, you'll still be stuck to waiting for one another."

"…You're right. You broke that situation. I should be happy that he's now actively pursuing me but with you here. Making me yours, I don't deserve to be with him anymore."

She still loves him but she chose me. And the way she reacted to me, it's clear to me that she also fell in love with me. But even then, I made her give up on her love for him. I guess, I still did something despicable.

"Satsuki, what made you love him that deep? That even now that you're in my arms like this, you're still thinking about him."

Now we're back to our previous topic. Their past.

"That… Sakuma. He saved me."

He saved her? Then how did that turn to love? Isn't it supposed to be gratitude?

"Is it that incident?"

Satsuki nodded to confirm my guess.

"Shouldn't it be gratitude? How did it turn to love?"

This is the point I couldn't understand. But yeah, it's related to that incident so let's hear her out.

"He's the only boy in class who never teased me and protected me. Maybe I already love him back then but that incident made me love him more."

Satsuki started, she's staring at me, maybe gouging my reaction or she just wanted to tell me about their past and see if I could take it.

"Ruki, I was almost violated by someone and Sakuma saved me from it."

Hearing her words, I somehow blanked out for a bit before my hold on her tightened. She felt it and that made her reach her hand on my face to ease my tension.

"Your reaction… You don't have to worry, nothing has happened since Sakuma arrived at the right moment. That's why my love for him grew this deep, I couldn't forget his face as he desperately fought to save me. Even now, I could still remember it. Even if that's supposed to be a traumatic experience for me."

I see. So he's her knight in shining armor. She already liked him from what he did for her in grade school and adding that incident, it cemented his position in her heart. I guess I didn't expect it to be like this. Erasing him in her heart? That's her saviour while I'm just a bastard who took advantage of their situation.

"Who was it?"

I took my mind off about how I lost to Sakuma in that department, for now, to know the whole story. Satsuki is already determined to tell me everything so I'll hear everything from her.

She's mine. Even if she couldn't erase Sakuma, I'll still get Sakuma to stop pursuing her. I didn't exist in their past so I couldn't change that but I could change this present, I will still push him to her sister or to other girls if that's what will make Satsuki be mine.

"My sister's ex-boyfriend."

Huh? So it not only involved the three of them but also another person. A bastard who tried to get his hands on both sisters? I guess, I gotta hand it to Sakuma here. He did a great job stopping that.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 131: The Incident (2)

Satsuki detailed to me everything that happened that day. Her sister's boyfriend was already like a regular visitor to their house but when they broke up, the guy kept on pursuing her sister. Stalking her, even.

One day, when their parents left for a trip and Sakuma went out to see the house his parents picked, only Satsuki and her sister were the ones left at the house. They still shared the same room at that time, being a high-schooler and grade-schooler, though they're close, the age gap put a considerable distance between the sisters. Satsuki also told how her sister had a complex against her. Unlike her, her sister didn't have any growth spurt so, at that time, they already have the same body build.

And that's when it happened. Her sister's ex who was stalking her for days took that chance to take advantage that their parents weren't home.

During that time, Satsuki's sister went out of their backyard while she was left in their room, lying around since there's nothing for her to do.

The guy mistakenly thought Satsuki was her sister and when he noticed that she's not her sister, he panicked. However, seeing how already developed Satsuki was and the similarities she had with her sister, he got taken in by his lust and maybe frustrations as well. He then tried to tie her up using their blanket to prevent her from resisting.

It was at that moment when Sakuma went back after checking the house. He saw traces of dirt from the guy's shoes going up the stairs. At first, he didn't think anything was wrong about it, but when Satsuki started struggling, the noise made by it was heard by him.

He immediately went upstairs, even if that was something he was forbidden to do. Since the family has two daughters, he was put in a room downstairs during his stay.

Though he immediately saw what's happening, he froze on that spot. That's how Satsuki detailed it, though he saved her, it was only when Satsuki shouted for his help did he move. He pushed the somewhat crazed guy away from Satsuki before he pulled her up and ran out of their house while calling for help from their neighbors.

Maybe that incident was also the stem for Satsuki's weird fetish. Remembering that time when Sakuma just stood there, watching. But nonetheless, that incident also cemented his position in her heart.

The guy was caught by the neighbors and then sent to the police. However, since he's a minor, he was only warned and not detained even with the clear trespassing and assault that he did.

Because of that incident, his family was forced to move out of shame. Wherever he is, if he showed up once more, I guess I could vent my newfound anger towards him. Even if that was already in the past, it's about Satsuki. He's also a potential threat.

"I didn't know you have an experience like this."

After retelling the incident, I couldn't find the words to say to her. Compared to what Sakuma did for her, I did nothing close to that. It's all about taking advantage of her and their somewhat flawed relationship.

"You didn't have to know, really. It's something we decided to forget, to move past it. I was saved before anything happened so…"

Satsuki tightened her hold on me. Maybe she could feel how agitated I was from hearing their story.

"I understand now why you loved him that much."

Sakuma deserved it. Right. And then here I am getting in between them, stealing Satsuki from him.

"But it's not me who he really likes. You're kind of correct when you told him that he's only seeing my sister in me."

"What do you mean?"

"He's always looking at her. And my sister is the same. She broke up with that guy because of Sakuma."

"Then what happened between them? He said something like a crack was made with his relationship between the three of you. That's why he couldn't set his foot here again."

"I told my sister to give him to me. I asked for something selfish. And because of what happened to me, she consented, she started shutting out Sakuma. And Sakuma turned to me for comfort. I never told him that what happened between them was because of my selfish demand. I used that opportunity to get close to him."

"But that didn't end well?"

"Un. There's another incident, it was the last day of his stay here. I caught them making out in our room. My sister pretended to be me, we have the same build back then so it's hard to tell, especially when the lights are off."

"I'm kind of confused, Satsuki. Why did she have to pretend to be you when it's her who he really likes?"

"Because my sister has the habit of once she gave up on something, she wouldn't look back again. She already gave Sakuma to me so the only choice for her to be with Sakuma again is to pretend to be me. Maybe because it's his last day and she thought she won't see him again, she risked it."

Sakuma probably knew that it's her sister and not Satsuki herself. He went along with her act. Since that's his last day, he also thought that he wouldn't see her sister again. But they were caught by Satsuki and that turned awkward when what happened came to light.

After that day he never set foot again in their house and with only Satsuki being in close contact to him, he also started liking her or he just turned his affection to someone nearer but he couldn't make up his mind because there's still the shadow of her sister.

"Your sister, is she still thinking about Sakuma?"

If she still is then her sister also loves that guy. Despite her habit of never looking back, Sakuma became the exception.

"Un. Every time she comes back home, she will ask me about him. And because of what I did, I also couldn't confess to him all those years, I felt guilty."

Because of her love for him, she prevented the two who clearly liked each other from getting together. But they're still 6th Grade back then. Ah. Considering Satsuki's love for him bloomed at that age, it's also possible that the same thing happened to Sakuma. Maybe something happened between the two before the incident which Satsuki has no knowledge of which led them to have the same affection towards each other.

"I see. What I said back then somehow let you get past behind your guilty conscience. So you asked for my help."

She asked for my help to help them get together. But by then, she stepped into my trap.

"Yes. But you changed me instead of helping me."

She looked up and pinched my cheeks before kissing me again. This time, after telling me the story which they decided not to tell anyone, Satsuki will now openly show her affection to me.

"Ah. There's a time when I was still set up to help you get what you wanted, have Sakuma to confess to you and start dating. That was before I realized I've already fallen for you."

If I didn't remember the emotion called love, I'll probably still push it to make her wish to reality.

"Idiot. I was also about to back out on that wish. I will feel guilty again if I go out with him when I'm doing this kind of thing with you. Once is enough, so I sorted out my feelings and in the end, I chose you despite the bizarreness of your situation."

Ah. Right. That would be like the same setup I put the girls from my middle school through. Openly dating someone else while I got them all to myself.

"Compared to Sakuma, I haven't done anything for you yet."

Apart from giving her encouragement, there's really nothing notable.

"I came to love you, idiot Ruki. This might seem like I'm too simple but your straightforwardness and your very attentive nature pulled me to be so into you… Ah!"

When she realized she blurted out the words she couldn't say to me, Satsuki blushed profusely but she still continued on her own reason why she chose me.

"I feel like I can entrust everything to you and you will never neglect me."

I… I might neglect her in the future, with these many girls. I couldn't attend to them all if they long for me at the same time. I couldn't say this to her, I'll just try and not neglect her as much as possible. We will always meet in school so there's no way I wouldn't have enough time for her...

"Isn't that the case for every relationship? Besides I'm only doing it first to fill up my desire."

This desire. It's still there eh. Continuously being filled up by all sorts of sources but it never gets satisfied. It will still look for more targets to conquer.

"You're just unaware of what you're doing, idiot. Ask your other girls or just ask Rindou and I'm sure we'll have the same answer."

If that's what she believes then so be it. We got up after our long talk. Since she's now openly showing her affection to me, Satsuki asked for a piggyback ride down.

Err. I didn't reject her but when I cupped her butt to support her, she made a ruckus of telling me to let her down. She's back at being wily too fast. She's only wearing her underwear down there so of course, I would be able to cop a feel on her butt.

Then to satisfy her, instead of a piggyback, I princess-carried her again, just like how I carried her upstairs earlier. And that shut her up as she leaned comfortably on me. This girl... Sometimes she's too violent and sometimes she's this sweet. I will never get enough of her. She's mine now, and she openly admitted it to me.

We cleaned ourselves in their bathroom and after that, Satsuki cooked a meal for both of us. We only ate cakes so after what we did upstairs, we're both hungry.

Knowing what happened in the past eased me up. Now I only need Sakuma to remember that it's not Satsuki who he initially likes before we tell him what's really going on between us. 𝑵𝓞𝒱𝑬𝑳𝓊𝓈𝓫.𝗰𝑜𝗆

Satsuki told me when her sister will come home to visit so I asked her if it's fine to tell Sakuma about it. She thought for a while before nodding her head. It's to minimize the dread he would feel when we revealed our relationship to him.

Like a couple, Satsuki somehow got fond of feeding me through her spoon. And with that kind of fluffy atmosphere. Our time together for the day soon came to an end.

"Can I not stay to meet your family?"

I asked her. Though I said that, I feel like that would be a bad idea for now. Among the girls I have, only Akane's parents knew about me or maybe Otoha's grandfather as well. I couldn't really meet their families when our future was still uncertain. But in Satsuki's case, I guess I just wanted to ease this girl up. We were seen earlier so she will possibly be interrogated by her parents.

"Not now, Ruki. I told you they won't like the idea if it's someone else other than Sakuma."

She used a napkin to wipe away the stain on my face as she answered me.

"Alright, next time, then?"

"You're really persistent, idiot."

"It's so they can also move past what happened."

I'm sure they're also affected by what happened, that's why they became strict to her.

"Then next time. I'll introduce you."

"Looking forward to it, Satsuki."

I pulled her close to me one more time and we shared another passionate kiss. Satsuki's fully mine now. Well, there's still some form of love she had for Sakuma but all of it will be pushed down whenever we're alone together.

After that, she sent me off from their door. She might be busy for the whole week since it will be their practice game with another school next Sunday.

I've already reserved that time to watch her. And maybe some time too to visit her during practices.

The sun was already about to set when I left their street and just like the last time, I sent Sakuma a message. Of course, it's not to brag about how Satsuki chose me but to tell him what I found out from Satsuki's retelling of their story and also the thing he asked about.

Chapter 132: Caught

Just like the last time, Sakuma ran towards where I was waiting for him. He couldn't wait to hear about what happened between us.

After telling him about what Satsuki told me, he fell into deep thought. The fact that it's really her sister who he truly likes, maybe he's deluding himself to forget it.

He stood still in front of me while his gaze was turned towards the ground. As to what he was thinking, I don't know.

Honestly, when I found out that Sakuma initially likes her sister. I felt somewhat relieved. This guy can be a good friend but yeah, my desire, ah no, my attraction towards Satsuki led me to steal her from him.

Now that we agreed to tell him about us, he really needed to turn his attention elsewhere.

I left him there after telling him when her sister will go home to visit for a few days. If he could remember what he really feels about her then he would soon stop deluding himself over Satsuki.

Maybe he really came to like her during the 4 years they're looking at each other's back but now that I finally had her admit that she loves me, I don't want to share her with anyone else.

Even though she's sharing with the other girls, I'm just this greedy to take them all by myself.

A new school week will start tomorrow and there's already Kana who wanted me to attend the club and Itou who will wait for me to accompany her at meeting Himeko.

Riding the train back home, I took out my phone and saw Satsuki's message to me, telling me to take care. That girl, I guess she will be like this now that she doesn't need to hold herself back anymore.

After replying to her, I looked at the other messages and there's one from Nami who haven't messaged me lately.

She's probably holding herself back since she already accepted Ogawa. Even if our act was somehow betraying him, this girl still wanted to do something good for him. With a message before for us to stop messaging each other, what changed her mind now? It's only been a few days.

I opened her message and read it.

"Ruu…"

Only that one word which was the way she calls me. Did she miss me? I wonder. I replied to her asking what's wrong and I immediately received a response.

"Can I take back what I said here?"

"You already broke it, right? But really, what's wrong? This isn't like you, Nami."

Take back what she said? She didn't have the habit to go back on her words. I feel like she wanted to tell me something but she's still deliberating whether she'll tell me.

"… Shizu-nee saw you with Maemura. You met her today, right? Shizu-nee was at the school today and earlier, I received a photo of you with her. It was taken from afar but to anyone who knew you and Maemura, they'll immediately recognize it."

After sending that, she forwarded the picture that was sent to her. It's really us from earlier when I led Satsuki out of the school gate with our hands were linked together.

I introduced myself as Nami's boyfriend to them and just a few days later, she found me with another girl. I could guess what's going on in the SC President's mind. But did she only send it to Nami?

"That's a blunder on my part. Our act will be at risk because of me, I'm sorry."

Admitting my fault, I guess this means I have to deal with the SC President this soon. Will we have to continue our act? Explain it to her?

"Are you at home? Let's meet."

"But it's already dark. Is it fine? I'm currently riding the train home."

"Ruu. Are you with her all this time?"

I don't know but I feel like even if these words were just text, I could feel a slight jealousy oozing out from it.

"Un. I made time for her today."

There's no point lying to her, she's also someone I want to have for myself so making up a lie as a habit won't go well.

"I see…"

Ah. There's an ellipsis. What is she thinking right now?

"Nevermind, let's talk about this tomorrow."

Suddenly changing her mind, this girl. Is she really jealous that I was with Satsuki this whole time?

"Nami? Tell me where to meet you. I'll get off now."

She's the one who suggested meeting so she's probably already outside.

"No. It's already dark so…"

Haa. What should I do with this?

"Nami, I want to see you too. Can I?"

I couldn't ask her if she's jealous or not. In the first place, I don't have that right yet. It's still reserved for Ogawa.

In the end, I didn't receive any reply from her. Should I just let it end here?

The train was just arriving at the next station from school.

When it stopped and the train door opened, I decided to get out and called Nami through messenger. I felt like I should resolve this now rather than wait for tomorrow. Especially that picture the SC President took. Like she originally planned, we really have to meet up and talk about what to do.

Judging from that, the SC President hasn't come to ask her about it yet. Since she immediately sent what she discovered to Nami, I could infer that either she really cares about Nami or she just hated my cheating guts. After that act, I knew I was already marked by her but I acted recklessly thinking it's fine to be seen by students not related to us there. I didn't take into account that someone like the President will be there.

Her attitude towards me back then clearly showed how she's against me dating Nami. To get a dirt on me this early, will she force us to break up? Though we're really not dating, it will blow up in class if her friends find out about this.

It took me three tries before Nami picked it up but she's not saying anything.

"I'm at the next train station from school. I'm going to wait for you here or you can tell me where to go."

I looked up at the sky and it's already dotted by stars. I already messaged Akane about being a bit late so I could spare some time before going home.

"Go home, Ruu."

Only those words and she ended the call right after. So Nami's pretty stubborn, eh? Let's see who will win on who's more stubborn between us.

I sat on a nearby bench meant for waiting passengers before trying again.

Once, twice, thrice…

After the fifth try there's still no response from her. Bringing the screen back to our chat box, I messaged her before trying to call again.

And finally on the ninth try, maybe she got annoyed by my persistence, Nami finally answered the call again.

"You're really persistent, Ruu. Get out of there. I'm in front of the station."

With a helpless voice, those words came out from the other line before the call was dropped again.

However, her words this time were different. Is she already outside? Is this the reason why she's not answering? She rushed from their house to here.

Having thought of that, I immediately stood up from the bench and rushed outside.

When I saw her walking with Ogawa before, I gathered that their destination was the bus stop. I only guessed that their house should be near the school since Satsuki and Sakuma's house were both near and the Middle School they went to was located in this area.

After getting out of the station, I saw Nami in a casual dress of a camisole top and short pants. She's wearing an unzipped hoodie on top of it.

Ah. She's wearing house clothes and only put on that hoodie to cover it.

I closed our distance and was about to hug her when she put a hand in front of her to stop me. 𝑵𝗈𝑽𝐄𝔩𝑢𝓈𝗯.𝒞𝒪𝓂

"This idiot, you're being reckless again. Why didn't you listen to me?"

With a questioning tone, Nami glared cutely at me. It's clear she's annoyed when I kept calling her even if she already told me to go home.

"I want to say I want to see you but I know that won't fly. I made a blunder, I thought I shouldn't wait for tomorrow to think about what to do about it."

Nami listened to me before she put a hand on her forehead.

"Let's go somewhere first. Ruu, why do you have to be stubborn at this moment?"

She's not really waiting for me to answer it. After leaving those words, she started walking while I followed behind her.

She stopped in front of a Manga Cafe. Seeing me not coming in with her, she took my wrist and pulled me in.

This is a type of place where you can rent a private room for you to read any manga they had on their shelves, but for others this is also a great place to have a private talk.

Err. Of course some couples often use this when they just want to relax together.

Seeing the two of us entering, the clerk already had an idea. Giving us a room for two, it's just a cubicle that's somehow soundproofed so that their customers can read in silence or even laugh without bothering anyone.

After entering the room, Nami took off her hoodie, looking at it again, what she's wearing under it is something one would only wear at home, it's a bit thin and if you look closely, the outline of her bra could be seen.

With her long black hair done in a ponytail, this gave her a different look.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

She noticed my gaze and immediately covered her chest area with her hands.

"…Just admiring a beauty?"

I turned my gaze away after answering. Well, I don't want her to feel uncomfortable when we haven't started talking yet.

"That tongue of yours…"

Shaking her head, Nami picked up a random manga and opened it but yeah, she's not really reading it.

"On second thought, I really want to see you, Nami. Actually, I felt a bit happy when I saw your message."

It's not really me if I keep restricting myself like this so, voicing my real thoughts out, Nami was caught off-guard.

"Idiot. After spending the day with another girl, this is what you will say…"

Nami grumbled silently. This girl, her expression really showed how jealous she was of me spending the day with Satsuki.

We won't be able to talk properly if she stays like this, so after deliberating for a bit, I stood up and sat next to her.

"You currently have Ogawa, I also want to spend time with you, you know? But you told me not to message you."

Circling my arms to her waist, I pulled her closer to me.

"Will you even agree if I ask to see you on a weekend when you could spend it with your real boyfriend?"

Chapter 133: 'Stolen' Time

After spending some time in silence, Nami didn't answer my questions to her. When I felt that, I reached for her hand and just nodded at her, indicating to her that it's fine not to answer.

She might be jealous but we both currently don't have any rights to be with each other. Even this time with her right now could be said as something 'stolen'.

"I thought I'll be going home without seeing you, good thing I waited there."

Still holding her hand, I tightened my grip on it.

"I really don't want to come but you told me you won't go home until you see me."

Nami mouthed silently. She made it sound like my words forced her to come out. Was it really what she's feeling? She's the one who suggested we meet up but when I told her I was with Satsuki this whole time, she immediately changed her mind.

"I see. Sorry for forcing you to come out, Nami."

"Idiot. Stop being this reckless. Shizu-nee can be hard to deal with."

She turned to me and raised her voice a bit. That's the main point why we met each other here. 𝐧𝔬𝐯𝖾𝓛𝔲𝓈𝐛.𝒸𝒐𝑀

"What did she say to you? Do we have to tell her that we're just acting?"

I observed Nami's reactions, in the first place it's my fault why I got caught with another girl. If it was any other students it wouldn't have this much impact on us.

"If we tell her, she'll tell us to stop. Shizu-nee is someone who never bothered about what the others think of her. So, us acting as a couple will not sit well with her."

Ah. It was Nami who decided about this act we will be doing, in consideration of her friends but really, she's too caring about them. She shouldn't be bothered about what they will think of her relationship with Ogawa.

Maybe she already thought of that and from the way she looks at me now, keeping up the act was already only for the sake of us still having this connection.

I really don't mind about it since it's giving me chances to steal her. I also advised her against this when I was still somewhat confused as to what I will do after realizing a lot of things. But now, stopping our act means it will be harder to approach her again.

"The picture already says it all, if we don't tell her, she'll take that as me cheating when I already have you."

There's no excuse for that eh. So it's either we come clean about our act or hope for a miracle to happen where she will lose her memory about that.

And of course, the latter was unrealistic while the former will risk our act.

"Right. You're really a cheater. But your girls all know about it, right?"

Is she hinting at me that instead of admitting the act, admit that I have more than one girl? That's just digging my grave, right?

"Yes, they know they're not the only one. You also know about it but yeah, Shizu-senpai doesn't know."

How to deal with someone like the SC President? Should I steal her as well? That way I won't have to worry about being caught.

As if it was that easy. I don't have enough information about her and I decided not to take in new ones for now.

"Say, Ruu. Come with me tomorrow to meet her."

After deliberating for a bit, Nami turned to me and said that.

"Alright. Let's think about what to do at that moment."

In the end, we couldn't decide on what to do about this issue. But what if that Shizu-senpai already sent that to Ogawa? She's kind of partial to him back then since she knew it was him who Nami always talks about before.

Our silence was interrupted when Nami's phone rang, she took it out and upon seeing the registered name there, she looked at me.

I took a peek at her screen and saw 'Shizu-nee' on the caller ID. Is she home?

"Answer it. Should I distance myself for now?"

I was about to stand up but her grip on my hand tightened which indicated that she didn't want me to go.

"Stay here."

She shook her head before answering the call and pressing the loudspeaker button.

"Hello?"

Nami spoke first. We could hear some indistinct voices in the background.

"Nanami? Where are you? I'm here at your house."

Ah. That's really Shizu-senpai's voice. She's probably there to talk with Nami about the picture she sent.

"I'm outside. Why are you there, Shizu-nee?"

"Huh? Didn't you see what I sent to you? That cheeky boyfriend of yours cheating in broad daylight. Come home now, let's talk about how to deal with him."

Like I thought, she's also decisive but with this, Shizu-senpai truly cared about her. As an older sister, she wanted to protect Nami from me.

"I don't think that's him, Shizu-nee."

Making up that lie on the spot, this girl. What is she thinking?

"Come on Nanami, since when did you become this dull? Are you hiding something from me?"

Shizu-senpai's tone clearly showed how she's not believing what Nami just answered.

Will this girl be fine like this? I observed her and her reactions. Where's that sharp and scary Nami that I know of? Since when did she become this timid? Or is she originally like this before Shizu-senpai?

"I'll talk to him about it, Shizu-nee. You don't need to be involved."

Still with a somewhat timid voice, Nami answered her. I feel like I should help her here but if I speak right now, the situation might worsen.

I couldn't think of anything so I let go of her hand and positioned myself behind her. Circling my arms around her belly, I pulled her closer to me before whispering in her ears.

"Relax. I'm here if you need help."

Nami flinched before she turned her head to me and released a sigh. I felt the tension from her body loosening up as she let her body lean comfortably on me.

I don't really know what kind of effect it did but her face cleared up as if she got out of some kind of quagmire.

This is all my fault to begin with but she's the one taking the first brunt of the damage. This is all I can do for her at this moment, but yeah. Dealing with the SC President? If I wanted to stay with Nami and take her for myself, I have to deal with this somewhat protective cousin of hers.

"Look here. That guy is clearly cheating on you. Alright, let's set that aside for now. What's stranger is that you suddenly introduced him as your boyfriend when I never heard about him from you."

That's a normal response, really. Maybe even with her friends in that clubroom, they found that somewhat baffling. If not for our convincing act last time, they would probably call us out for our lie.

"Shizu-nee, it's true that it's sudden and I don't think you'll get my reasoning but please can you not meddle in my affairs? I know you're doing this because you cared for me, but it's already a bit too much. I'll talk to him about the picture you sent, if it's really him, I'll demand an explanation from him and don't worry, if he's really cheating, I'll deal with him by myself."

Declaring her stand, the other line grew silent for a good while. This is it. This is the Nami that I know of. But yeah, it's not right to rejoice over something like this. I'm the one who made that blunder but she got implicated because of it.

"…Nanami. I see, you've grown up."

Only leaving those words in a somewhat sad and relieved tone, Shizu-senpai ended the call. I don't know what kind of reaction she had upon hearing what Nami said.

The beeping sound indicating the end of the call flooded the room before Nami put it down.

I could feel her body lost its strength. If not for me behind her, she'll probably fall on her back.

"That was amazing, Nami."

Whispering these words to her, Nami only looked up to me and smiled. It's a satisfied smile as if she had done something she never did before.

With those words from her, the SC President might take a step back but this is not the end of this. I shouldn't let her do everything. This girl stood up for me so it's a bit pathetic if I didn't do anything to clear this up. But really, how should I start?

"Ruu. Don't think about this problem for now. I know you're thinking this is all your fault but this also wouldn't happen if I didn't let you in my life. I know about you having multiple relationships so I'm partly to blame for letting you act as my boyfriend."

"No. Don't divide it like that. You're blameless in this, Nami."

I couldn't help but be worried if this continues. She'll be the one protecting me and not the other way around. This isn't like me, right?

"Your worried face is a bit cute, you know? When you hugged me and whispered those words, I found the courage to speak up to her again."

She reached for my face and caressed it with her hand.

"I think I'm really starting to get drawn in by you, Ruu. I didn't even think about Kazuo today. When will you tell me about your past?"

Upon my silence, she continued.

Right. I decided to tell her about it, should I use this time now? But we still have a problem. Let's solve that first.

"After resolving this thing with Shizu-senpai. I'll tell you everything."

Turning my face to her, Nami was leaning her head on my shoulder and in that position, she's also staring at my face while her hands rested on my cheek.

Hearing my words, she gave me a relieved smile before she raised her head up and slowly levelled it with my head.

With a few centimetres of the distance between it, we could smell each other's breath.

Nami is really beautiful. But yeah, our somewhat the same personality was the one that really drew me in to like her. Was she the same? Only she knows.

"Ruu…"

She sweetly called out to me. Our minds were already devoid of whatever problem we were thinking about just earlier. This mood and atmosphere between us. This is genuine.

Traversing that few centimeters of distance, our lips met each other for the second time. This time with our eyes staring at each other, it won't be a quick kiss just like the first time.

My hand that was lodged on her side went up to the back of her neck, slipping it under her hair, I pushed her head closer. Her arms also moved and hugged my head.

Our lips that were overlapping each other started moving as we savored it together. In this 'stolen' time of ours, my feelings for her poured out as I tried to lead and teach her about kissing. And she's the same, pouring her bottled up feelings for me, she took in everything I was showing her.

Separating for a bit to catch our breath then locking our lips together again, Nami slowly got used to our kiss that she also started sucking. And after that, our tongues met and entangled each other, taking this kiss another step further.

Right now, there's only me in her eyes and there's only her in my eyes. Drowning ourselves to each other, we spent the remaining time we're together for tonight like this.

Chapter 134: New Week

Monday.

Another week finally arrived, with everything that happened these past 2 weeks, I guess my outlook in life changed drastically. But one thing didn't change, my continuous desire to steal someone for myself. Well, since I could control it now, I didn't need to hurriedly start on a new one. There's still a lot on my plate and with the SC President out there that could possibly ruin everything, I have to tone it down.

Nami and I left that Manga Cafe last night in a somewhat satisfied mood. Though it all stemmed from me making a blunder by being caught by the SC President, it became our reason to meet each other.

She told me that she's now slowly getting drawn to me, more so than Ogawa. After I resolved this thing with Shizu-senpai, I'll tell her everything and depending on what will be her reaction, I might successfully steal her from Ogawa.

She will also bring me to Shizu-senpai sometime this week. Because of what she said last night to her, it earned us some time but yeah, it's not really good to delay it. Nami knew that Shizu-senpai was doing that for her so she couldn't actually hate her for it. What she did to tell Nami about it was only right.That's how a normal person will react when it's done to someone close to them.

Shizu-senpai's voice when Nami talked back at her sounded somehow relieved and sad. Relieved that Nami could finally stand on her own and maybe sad because that meant she wouldn't rely on her that much anymore.

My influence is starting to change Nami, just like how Kana, Satsuki and Aya changed.

But is this really a good change for Nami? How can we let Shizu-senpai understand the nature of our relationship? It will be unacceptable for her if she finds out that Nami got involved with someone who has multiple relationships with girls. Though my girls understood and accepted it, other people will surely be repulsed.

Haa. I'll think of something. It's not just about stealing her from Ogawa anymore.

When I arrived in class, I was immediately greeted by Chii. With her mood that good, I guess she's looking forward to something.

Is it about our agreement? I still don't know what's wrong with her that she wanted to talk to me alone. She won't ask me to get her out of Fukuda's group, right?

That guy likes her like a fool. She's on my list but yeah, I need to know her situation first.

Aya was always early since she could read more books while waiting for the class to start. Upon seeing me, she smiled sweetly as she uttered her greetings. I noticed that she cut a bit of her bangs to let her eyes be exposed again. With her usual shy and timid nature, seeing her sparkling eyes and smile like this, it immediately made this morning better.

I talked to her for a bit about the book she was reading before taking out Kana's novel. Even though I couldn't read it in one sitting, I will take it out to read whenever I have time. Now, I'm currently at chapter 3. Her novel is in a light novel format and it has 8 long chapters with each chapter having different objectives that she wanted to reach before moving the story further.

By introducing the characters and the mystery they needed to solve at chapter 1, chapter 2 and 3 revolved around them trying to search for clues. It's intriguing enough that even I who seldom read books couldn't help but be absorbed in her story. Reading bit by bit also somehow helped since I could then mull over the details that I couldn't understand at first.

After finishing chapter 3, I put it down and discussed it with Aya just like the first time. She's really engaged as she pointed out what she likes and what needs improving. Aya and Kana will probably be comfortable with each other when they meet.

Ah. I'll take her to the Literature Club this week or maybe next week since there's still the issue with Kenji. That guy won't easily give up on Kana. With the time he invested in her, he's probably thinking along the lines of he did all of that for her so he should be harvesting what he planted. If that's how he will think, I need to be at Kana's side to protect her.

When Nami and Satsuki arrived they both looked at me without concealing their affection. But since everyone was busy at their own things, none of them noticed it.

Nami went to her seat and she was immediately crowded by her friends, Ogawa was also there, just silently looking at her.

Satsuki on the other hand somehow looked tired. Did their practice intensify?

"Are you okay?"

Since Sakuma hasn't arrived yet, I leaned to her desk and asked her.

"Just a bit tired from practice, don't worry. I'll be fine."

Satsuki answered. I noticed that she's breathing heavily and that got me worried. She's probably feeling fatigued from it. She needed a boost to help her recover for the class

I turned to Aya and told her to look out for her.

Going out to buy something for her, I looked at the time and saw that it's 20 minutes before the start of the class. The cafeteria was still closed so I could only rush towards the nearby convenience store. After buying a piece of bread and a drink, I went to the infirmary.

On the way, I ran into Shio who's about to go to our class. Seeing me with a bag of food from the convenience store and a bit sweaty from all the running I did, she couldn't help but ask.

I haven't seen her nor talk to her for days but yeah, now's not the time.

"Where are you going?"

"Ah! I might be a little late, Shi-- Ms. Miyazaki. I'm going to the infirmary to get some vitamins for one of my classmates."

Though I almost called her Shio in public, what she focused on was what I said after.

"Why? Someone collapsed again?"

"Uh. No. Maemura looked fatigued so I thought of buying food for her, which explains this. And I remembered there are vitamins in the infirmary so I also thought of getting some for her."

I raised the convenience store bag containing the bread and juice I bought for Satsuki. Shio stared at me for a few seconds, likely determining the authenticity of my words. Or maybe she's thinking if that girl I mentioned is one of my girls.

"Hayashi-sensei hasn't arrived yet. You go back to the class for now, I'll take some for you."

Shio said as she turned around to go to the corner where the stairs leading up are located. Though she's a teacher that laid her hand on a student like me, she's still a teacher nonetheless.

Ah. I really wanted to spend time with Shio again. I wonder what's going on now with her husband?

I shouted my thanks to her before turning back to the class. Since the nurse wasn't there yet, the infirmary was probably closed so even if I go, I wouldn't be able to enter it. With her volunteering like that, she saved me from being late to the class.

When I arrived, Satsuki was already slumped over her desk, napping.

Sakuma was already at his desk and was looking at Satsuki worriedly. He looked up when he saw me arriving.

"You bought that for her?"

"Maemura looked fatigued so I thought of letting her eat. Ms. Miyazaki will also bring vitamins later."

I nodded and explained. It didn't matter now if he would give meaning to this. I couldn't let her stay like that after all.

After settling back on my seat, I reached for Satsuki's shoulder and nudged her awake. She's really tired that she immediately fell asleep there.

Giving her the bag, she looked flustered at first but didn't reject it.

"Thank you, Ruki."

Satsuki didn't notice that she called me by my first name since she's really tired. 𝐧𝔬𝐯𝖾𝓛𝔲𝓈𝐛.𝒸𝒐𝑀

And that was also heard by Sakuma who's just behind me. When I looked back at him, he's wearing a confused expression, processing what he just heard.

It's just a simple change in the way she's calling me but surely, it carried a lot of meaning, specially for this guy.

However, I didn't take his reaction to mind. I already told him what I found out about him and Satsuki's sister. And we also decided to reveal everything to him soon, if that simple change in the way she addressed me bothered him that much then that's not our concern anymore.

Satsuki finished what I bought for her and her complexion really got better. Seeing that, I felt relieved, further pushing Sakuma's reaction at the back of my mind. Satsuki is mine, if he asked again, I wouldn't deny that anymore.

Shio arrived soon and handed me the vitamins, I thanked her for it before giving it to Satsuki. I explained it to her and upon hearing it, she also stood up and thanked Shio before taking one tablet and gulping down her remaining drink.

"This is why I really like you, Ruki. The way you rushed out for her… we're lucky to have you."

I heard Aya whisper with a voice that only could hear from my side.

It's only natural for me to do this kind of thing for them. If it happened to her, I also wouldn't think twice and just rush out to get something for her. They're all important to me.

I don't know what our classmates will think since they saw what I did clearly, maybe some will give meaning to it, while others will just pass it off as a normal occurrence.

Ah. I stood out again, right? There's really no hope to go back at being obscure.

The bell rang soon after that and the class started. With Shio putting on her Commanding Side in front again, the class went on smoothly.

Chapter 135: The SC President

When Shio's class ended, she called me to help her carry our homework to her room at the Administration Building.

Satsuki's fatigue was already abated from the food and the vitamins she took. Seeing that, I don't need to worry about leaving the classroom.

Though this looks like a normal errand, I realized that it's Shio's new way for us to interact with each other. Constantly calling me to the faculty will surely invite suspicion after all.

Did she miss me? Or was there development on her adult problems? After that visit to my house, I couldn't find the time to be alone with her again.

"Put it there at the table."

Shio said after we entered the room. I did what she asked by dropping the thick stack of homework at her table before turning around to face her. The door was already closed behind her and the sound of the lock clicking rang out.

"Uhm. Shio, what's wrong?"

I tried acting oblivious to check on her response. Well, she somehow had the knack of doing risky things, just like the first time I saw her reading that light novel of hers in class. I got to know the real face behind the composed and confident new teacher because of that.

From there we now have a complicated relationship of me trying to steal her from her husband. I even got to know her husband's secret.

"Can you hold me?"

Shio dropped her commanding side and went back to how she acted in front of me. The worry in her face became visible again.

Did she manage to cover it up? When I saw her earlier, I didn't see anything wrong. Was it because I was too worried about Satsuki's well-being?

The way she asked me, it's like telling me not to ask her about the reason. Closing the distance between us, I circled my arms around her. I looked at her face and noticed her eyes that's about to burst out from holding back her tears.

As soon as I held her in my arms, her whole body loosened up as she used me as a support.

"I think we're getting a divorce soon."

Shio whispered that as her tears finally broke out from her tear glands. With her head leaning on my shoulder, I could feel the warm wetness as her tears seeped into my uniform.

Divorce? That husband of hers who has a thing for high school girls? Did he finally lose his mind and wanted to solely focus on his new girl?

Though Shio has her own fantasy she wanted to realize through me, she still loves that husband of hers. That's why it's really hard to steal her. A love that is bound by marriage, but now that she brought this word that could break that, something serious happened.

Like before, I didn't say anything, instead, I stroked her hair as I waited for her next words.

"He finally lost it. He brought the student to our house. That bastard!"

There was anger and sadness mixed with her voice as she vented out everything she's bottling up in her chest. From how that student was someone her husband was secretly nurturing since her days in when she was busy in college. That student is currently a third-year and like the previous her, the student was currently head-over-heels over her husband.

She tried confronting him and even talked some sense to the student but all that did was drive them away from their house, as to where those two stayed after that, she didn't know. She didn't try to know.

It's already a wonder that she could still teach today, with that big of a problem in her marriage, one would usually take a leave to sort it out.

"Sorry Ruru, I have no one to tell this to but you. Thank you."

When Shio calmed down, she apologized and thanked me. She's still in my arms, even if she's an adult, right now she looks like a child who needed someone to comfort her.

There were only a few minutes in between classes so we had to go back to our respective classroom soon. Shio knew that so after calming down, she stood up again and fixed herself. I only watched as she transformed from the crying girl just moments ago to the same composed teacher.

"Should I visit you later? You know, I'll always be here for you, Shio."

Though I have something lined up after school, I could spare some time for her after all that.

"Haa. I would've told you no but after showing you my weak side like this… yes Ruru, come later after club hours, I'll be waiting for you here."

After saying that, Shio opened the door and gestured for me to go first. Though I could take advantage of her just now, it's just not right when she was crying like that.

I left the room after she said that. After not seeing her for 2 days, I guess I also missed her. Even if I message on messenger, she will often only read it and not reply.

Err. My shoulder is a bit wet from her tears, will someone notice?

Since it's already the 3rd week, the teachers were now more or less used to their students' faces so when I showed up a few minutes late for the 2nd period, the teacher marked me and tasked me with another errand. Even if I told him I was asked to bring our homework to Shio's room, the teacher countered me by enumerating the time needed to make a round-trip from here to Shio's room. It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes so he concluded that I purposely slacked off which earned me a new errand.

It's nothing much really, he only tasked me with cleaning a clubroom of a club that was shut down today for failing to reach the minimum members.

When I went back to my seat, Sakuma and Aya volunteered to help me. I could understand Aya but for Sakuma to also volunteer, that guy is really a good friend despite his suspicions. The refreshed Satsuki also chimed in, however, I told her that she doesn't need to. She will have to go to her club again later so she better reserve more of her energy for that.

Though it makes sense, that earned me a glare from her and throughout the 2nd to 4th period, she decided to ignore me.

During the lunch break, I met up with Nami as part of our act at that empty clubroom again, after what happened last night, we stopped restraining ourselves once we're alone. Like a couple having a secret rendezvous, we savored another 'stolen' time.

Though it didn't evolve to more than kissing, that's enough for now. 𝑵𝑜𝑽𝗲𝓁𝚞𝒮𝓫.𝒞𝑜𝓂

Halfway through the lunch break, her friends showed up in that empty clubroom, seemingly trying to catch us doing something indecent.

"Hello lovebirds, what are you two doing?"

Imada, this Friend A, started. She has an amused look in her face as if she really likes what she's seeing.

When I heard the footsteps approaching this room, we released ourselves from each other's embrace so what they saw upon entering was us just sitting quietly with our hands linked together.

Imada, Ogawa, Tadano, Mori and Kikuchi were here. Looks like she dragged them all to visit us here. Ah. There's also the silent guy.

Though there's a complicated look on Ogawa's face, he maintained his smile as he approached us. For him, this was a part of our act.

Poor guy, I have nothing against him but for him to put up with this, I guess he's too kind?

Tadano was grumpy as always while Mori also had a complicated face looking at us. I gave up on her and she was overjoyed by that fact so she's now focused on chasing after Ogawa. She and Izumi-senpai were competing with each other to get his attention.

Though Mori already knew that Ogawa was the one who's truly dating Nami, that didn't discourage her.

Soon after they arrived, three more showed up, Izumi-senpai, Arisa-senpai and lastly Shizu-senpai.

With the whole gang in this empty clubroom, it soon became rowdy as they talked among each other while teasing us.

"The way Onoda-kun ran out to buy something for Maemura earlier was manly. Nanami, that didn't get you jealous?"

Imada opened up what happened earlier in the first period.

"This guy was attentive like that. We all saw how Maemura was earlier, she looked so fatigued that if not for Ruu, she'll collapse and will be sent to the infirmary."

Nami answered. Though she said it, she mentioned earlier when we're alone how that made her a bit jealous. I appeased her by telling her I would also do it for her if the same thing happened to her.

"Will you also do that for me, Onoda-kun?"

Nodding at Nami's answer, Imada turned to me and asked in a teasing manner.

This girl. She's not like this in class. Is she behaving herself there and let loose her playful side when she's with her friends?

I could understand if it was Arisa-senpai who asked that but for Imada to do it. I guess it's really hard to gauge a person's attitude on first impressions.

"Err... You're far away from my seat so I wouldn't notice it easily."

I answered her while scratching my cheek. A gesture often used by others to act embarrassed.

"This Maemura, is she that girl from the Basketball Club?"

Suddenly, Shizu-senpai, who had been silent since she arrived, opened her mouth.

"Yes, that's her. Do you know her Shizu-senpai?"

Imada answered her not thinking about why she chose to speak now.

"I see. Onoda-kun is really manly. For him to rush out for that girl."

The animosity from the SC President's eyes was apparent as she stared at me. She probably thought that after what Nami told her last night, we will break up soon. And since it's Satsuki who she caught me with, she already knew why I did that.

Based on the others' reactions, they haven't seen the picture she took yesterday. And from that, I gathered how much she cared for Nami. But yeah, she clearly didn't like me for her.

Who would, right? No one would like a cheating guy fooling someone they cared for.

"Can I borrow Onoda-kun for a second?"

Shizu-senpai stood up as she asked that.

Ever since she started talking, the others were also silenced. Asking to borrow me now? I guess she already decided to confront me today. Not waiting for Nami to bring me to meet her.

Nami looked at me and tightened her grip on my hand as her way of telling me not to go.

But I also already decided. I shouldn't let her do everything for us. Removing her hand from mine, I smiled at Nami before following Shizu-senpai out.

Let's see. How should I deal with her?

Chapter 136: Realistic Act

Shizu-senpai led me to another empty clubroom not far from where we came from. She's the president, she knew every empty room in this Club Building. Being led here by her, I'm expecting some kind of trap waiting for me but I guess she didn't prepare that much.

As soon as there were no other ears who could hear us, Shizu-senpai turned around. This should be the 3rd time that I've seen her. The first being in the Entrance Ceremony and the second at their clubroom.

Now that I've seen her closer like this, I could clearly see how her appearance had some similarities to Nami, she's also sporting long black hair, with her fringes only reaching her eyebrows, it gives off a prim and proper vibe. There's no other decoration on it like a ribbon or something, it's all natural. Her brown eyes were at times sharp and at times gentle, depending on who or what she looked at. Her lips were a bit smaller than Nami's which can either give you a menacing or a beautiful smile.

"So, Onoda-kun, how long will you two need to act?

With that kind of opening, I was a bit taken aback because of her sudden question. I thought she'll start with, why am I fooling around with other girls?

But with this question, did she know about our act or she's just guessing?

"Act? I don't think I follow you, Shizu-senpai."

I answered normally without any hint of surprise. I opted not to admit it easily. Nami and I haven't talked about this yet. If she really knew, who told her? Or did she figure it out by herself?

"Stop playing dumb, Onoda-kun. That girl won't just date another guy out of the blue. Besides I couldn't quite get why you even agreed to this act when you already have that Basketball Club girl."

This empty clubroom has a sofa set at some corner, she sat on a single sofa and pointed me to sit at another one.

With her next words, it really looked like she figured it out by herself but without definite evidence from her, I won't admit it yet. It's another story if it's me who first brought this topic up, however as soon as we're alone, she started off with that.

"Why do you think we're just acting? And it's not even out of the blue, please stop guessing. Also, don't pull in an uninvolved person here."

Shizu-senpai was staring at me with her two brown eyes scrutinizing every reaction I made. This is even harder than acting in front of their club members but yeah, it's not like I didn't have any experience with this kind of interrogation. Haruko used to interrogate me before I made her mine.

"Very good, Onoda-kun. You're a tough nut to crack. How about this? Is she still uninvolved? If you continue your narrative that you're not acting, then explain this to me."

She put down a digital camera with the same photo which Nami showed me yesterday displaying in it.

"Nami already showed me this and I explained it to her. But I don't think I also need to explain this to you, Shizu-senpai."

I picked up the digital camera and pushed it back to her side after nonchalantly looking at it as if the photo taken in it is none of my concern.

Shizu-senpai only stared at me in silence without any change in her expression.

Usually one would be shivering in fright right now but this wasn't enough to frighten me. It's not like I was running away, Nami and I will come and talk to her soon. So this was unnecessary. She wouldn't even tell me why she thought we're just acting.

Maintaining my calm expression despite the tension she was trying to put on me, this was easier than restraining myself whenever I'm alone with one of my girls.

"If this is all, I'm going to return to Nami's side, Shizu-senpai."

I stood up and went to the door. However before I opened it, Shizu-senpai broke her silence. Will she tell me? Since she's not answering my questions, I also thought of not answering any of her questions.

When I saw her back in their clubroom before, she came off strongly, but today, she's just intimidating and that's all. Did Nami's words to her last night cause an effect on her?

"Nanami's change. Are you the cause of it?"

Dropping the interrogative tone, she changed her question. I don't know if all of that was just her probing me but it's clear that she's the one who caught me with Satsuki. 𝑵𝑜𝑽𝗲𝓁𝚞𝒮𝓫.𝒞𝑜𝓂

What was really in this president's mind?

"If Nami even changed in your eyes, it's not because of me. She grew up, that's all."

Leaving these words, I opened the door and stepped out, leaving the SC President still sitting on that sofa as she stared at my back. Whatever she's thinking or what she think of me right now, I won't admit it just yet.

I wouldn't dare claim to be the cause for their changes, I might've started it but it's their desire to change that pushed them.

She truly cared for Nami, that should be a good thing but once she found out that our relationship were about to become reality and I'm also in a relationship with other girls, she will surely flip out.

When I went back to the empty clubroom that's not so empty now, they're having a somewhat lively discussion. However, when Nami saw me coming back, she immediately stood up, her face with a hint of worry as she slowly walked towards me.

I noticed Ogawa's face flashed a hint of surprise upon seeing that. Of course, any normal guy will surely pick up something from Nami's action upon seeing me. Especially if he's the real boyfriend. What she just did didn't look like it was still part of our act.

"What happened, Ruu? What did Shizu-nee say to you?"

Without minding her friends' reactions, Nami asked me.

"Ah. Nothing, Shizu-senpai asked for my forgiveness from the last time in the clubroom."

I lied for now since I couldn't talk about it in front of the others. I hinted that to Nami by pressing her hand. She understood it when she looked back and saw the others watching us.

"Look at Nanami, it's rare seeing her like this. She's too worried about Onoda-kun, she thought Shizu will eat you and you'll go back in tatters."

Arisa-senpai said in between her laughs. She still didn't have any breaks and because of that, it earned her a hit from Izumi-senpai.

"Honestly, to be called by Shizu alone and come back unscathed. You have strong nerves, Onoda-kun. Maybe that's why Nami is so into you."

Izumi-senpai also commented but yeah, her eyes then traveled from us to Ogawa whose eyes were looking down.

Did she comment like that to see Ogawa's reaction? This girl.

"Alright, you guys go back to your classrooms now. The lunch break will soon end."

And before anyone could comment further, Shizu-senpai showed up at the door. She's back to her normal self as if what we talked about at that empty clubroom didn't affect her.

Err… nothing really came up from our conversation, right? It's just her questioning me and me not answering nor admitting to her allegation.

"Nanami, can I go see you at your house later?"

She then turned to Nami and asked that. Since she couldn't pry an answer from me, will she try to get it from Nami?

"Yes. I'll wait for you."

Understanding what Shizu-senpai wants to do, Nami agreed. This girl probably thinks she'll also face Shizu-senpai like how I did it today.

After that, the others left first leaving us alone again. Ah, no. There's still Ogawa.

"Kazuo…"

Nami noticed him and called on him.

"Nanami, I'll be honest, I'm feeling uncomfortable seeing you two act. It looks too real."

He said as he looked at me, maybe he wanted to hear me say that I will tone down our act.

"But that also diverted their attention, right?"

Since he's looking at me, I answered him.

"Are you sure this is fine? Even Hina thinks your act is too realistic."

He mentioned Mori since he thought I'm doing this act to get a chance to be with her. Never in his dreams that I'm now solely focused on his girlfriend. I already kissed her twice and last night wasn't just a normal kiss.

"This is what you asked of me. Until now, no one suspected that the real couple here are the two of you."

It's too real that even Nami is slowly falling for me now. Everything she had shown since last night was her genuine feelings for me.

"Kazuo, do you want to stop our act?"

Nami asked him. She also finally noticed that she's now more concerned to me than her real boyfriend.

"N-no. Just that, can I also hold your hand when we're alone?"

His eyes then traveled down to our hands that were still linked together. Seeing that, Nami reflexively took her hand from mine.

I could hold it again later so this is fine. It's a bit too early to put a stop on our act so I have to keep him in check for now.

This guy finally got the courage to ask to hold her hand. Maybe he's already too jealous at seeing us being too close to each other every time we're acting.

Should I let him hold her hand? Ah. It's just holding hands, he's her real boyfriend so this is bound to happen. But yeah, I wouldn't deny that this was uncomfortable, it's all on Nami for now.

"Of course. You don't need to ask, Kazuo."

Nami smiled at him and that immediately cleared up Ogawa's worry.

This guy, is he too simple?

"Then should I go first? To give you, the real couple, some time to talk."

For now, I have to be patient. With Shizu-senpai looming at us like that, if Ogawa also erupted then our act will really come to light and that will cut my time to be alone with Nami. Though she's already leaning towards me, it's still not enough until I tell her my past.

"Thank you, Onoda."

Ogawa sincerely thanked me. Will his kind nature flip around if he found out what we're doing when we're alone?

"No worries, see you in class."

I looked at Nami one last time before going out of the clubroom, she's also looking at me with a complicated expression. Probably trying to see my reaction about them being alone.

I didn't know if it was shown in my face, I was also reluctant to leave her alone with him.

I lied to her about what really happened when Shizu-senpai called me out and maybe she's also waiting for me to tell her about it but with Ogawa there, he will just be suspicious if I don't leave. I don't need another Sakuma for now.

When I went out of the room, I saw Mori not far from it, waiting.

When she saw me, she averted her gaze for a moment. Is she waiting for Ogawa?

"You left them alone?"

Mori asked when I approached her.

"They're the legit couple, what do you think will happen if I insisted on staying with her?"

This girl is too loyal to Ogawa. What do they really see in him? It's not just his handsome features, right?

"Kazuo won't like that."

She thought for a while before answering.

"Hmm. Are you waiting for him here?"

I asked her. Her eyes that were staring at that door turned to me.

"There's no point now if she's with him."

With a sigh, Mori answered. She still knew that when Ogawa is with Nami, no one else will be more important to him than her.

"Then let's go. Or will you keep waiting here?"

"Why do you sound concerned for me?"

Mori grumbled quietly as she fixed her posture. She couldn't look me in the eye for too long. Is she thinking about how she rejected me?

"Giving up on you doesn't mean I stopped liking you, Mori. I just don't want to see you here waiting in vain like that."

I only put you on hold so yeah, I will still be concerned and isn't this an ideal time to appeal to her again?

"You're still going on with that… alright. Let's go."

Though still reluctant, she turned around and stood next to me as we started to walk our way out.

"So, no progress on taking him for yourself?"

To ease the silence between us, I put out a question. I'm also a bit interested if she even made progress towards stealing Ogawa from Nami. Ah. So she's the same as me now, eh?

"I'm not like you! I don't know what you did to Nanami but your acts were too realistic to call it an act now."

I see. So no progress at all. I wonder, what about Izumi-senpai?

She also noticed how real our act is. Well, apart from her no one else knows that we're just acting. There's Shizu-senpai but I couldn't tell if she's just guessing or not. She neither confirmed nor explained how she figured it out after all.

"Ah. Well, it's real."

I turned to her and smiled as I gave that answer.

Chapter 137: Club Activity

The classes ended soon. With Satsuki and Sakuma going to their respective clubs, Aya and I went to the Club Building together.

Dropping her off to the Book Club, I greeted Haruko first before going up to the Literature Club. Ah. Himeko and Mina were with her so I also greeted them.

I told Himeko about Itou and how I will accompany her here to meet her. After hearing that, Himeko was so happy that she even threw herself towards me.

That's really an unusual reaction for sisters who lived under the same roof. What's the real story behind them?

Though Mina was still baffled at Himeko's sudden change of heart to allow herself to be stolen by me, her hostility towards me lessened when I stopped actively chasing after her. Once I have more free time, I also want to know about her, she might be as interesting as Himeko.

About the other three, I guess I'll leave it to chance. If I encounter them somewhere, I'll use that chance to get to know them. Haruko wanted them to stay with her but I guess once the two third years graduated, they would also drift apart from her.

When I entered the Literature Club, Kana who was silently writing something immediately noticed me. Her face brightened as a smile bloomed on her lips. Though we displayed our affection last Friday, it will be rude to do it again during club hours, Kana also knew that so she only reached for my hand as she dragged me to sit next to her, Ishida-senpai nodded at me while Otsuka-senpai was curiously looking at us.

Fujii was as always, absorbing herself to reading. Coincidentally, I sat next to her. But when I greeted her, she was at first surprised before she scolded me not to disturb her when she's taking in new knowledge.

"Mirae-chan is always like that, Ruki. But she's a good girl."

Kana giggled as she watched how I was scolded by Fujii.

Hearing that, Fujii turned red from her seat.

"I know. I actually got to know her last week and found how interesting she is."

Kana will eventually know how I had made a weekly appointment with her so saying it here now won't make a difference.

"I see. Is she also?"

Though she didn't finish her question, I know what she wanted to ask.

I shook my head as an answer before clarifying it with her.

"Not yet, but she'll help me by teaching me knowledge she knew and I'll help her on trying not to base everything on her knowledge."

"Right, she relies too much on her knowledge. Ruki, you're helping another girl again, you wouldn't do that if you didn't like her, right?"

Though her voice was low when in a silent place like this, there's no way the Otsuka-senpai and Ishida-senpai didn't hear it.

But yeah, Otsuka-senpai was already too curious about me and I still haven't talked to her alone yet, she still owed me three questions while Ishida-senpai, though she's the most normal here, what happened on that Sunday couldn't seem to leave her mind.

"Err… Now that you mention it, I do like her."

"You playboy…"

Kana pouted and bloated her cheeks with air. She's not really upset but she's acting like it. Did she want me to pamper her?

Poking her cheeks with my finger, I whispered to her ears.

"I won't be able to restrain myself if you acted cutely like this, Kana."

"Then don't. Hug me, Ruki."

She looked up at me as she pulled on my arm while saying that. This show of affection from her, it's really pleasant.

"They will feel uncomfortable, you see. I'll hug you all you want after our club activity."

"Promise?"

"Un, I promise. I'll also walk you to the bus station again."

"Good. I'm satisfied."

Kana then giggled again as she leaned her head on me, letting herself be comfortable.

"To see Kana-senpai like this… You're amazing Onoda-kun."

Otsuka-senpai finally couldn't contain herself. What did she mean though? Kana never acted this cutely with Kenji?

"Ah. Right. Goto didn't quit the club but he said he won't attend for a while."

Ishida-senpai then interjected as she relays information about Kenji.

"I really thought he would quit, after what happened to them."

Otsuka-senpai's gaze then traveled to us.

"Uhm. I didn't mean for him to quit, he treated me quite well when we're still together. However, as you can see, I couldn't lie anymore, I like Ruki, no, I love him."

Kana stood up and declared in front of them, even the busy Fujii was surprised at her declaration. Otsuka-senpai was tongue-tied while Ishida-senpai had her mouth opened as she couldn't find the words she could say.

This girl. She confessed her feelings for me this way…

"I love you too, Kana."

Hearing that from her, I stopped restraining myself. I pulled her back down to her seat and hugged her tight in front of them.

They all turned their gazes away. Ah no, Otsuka-senpai kept looking as we basically became all over each other.

Kana looked up at me and smiled cutely before silently mouthing the words she just said. After clearing up the thing with Kenji, Kana became like this with me. Since she already declared her love for me, I wouldn't disappoint her. Dropping my lips on hers, we kissed in front of them once again.

We stopped eventually though and apologized to Ishida-senpai and others.

After that, the club activity resumed. Ishida-senpai drew from the same bowl full of folded papers back when I was trying out the club. Reading what's on the paper, the activity was decided to be writing a two-sentence story which could deliver a necessary impact.

Fujii presented hers first it reads as, "Living my life in pursuit of knowledge, I thought it was perfect. But then came him telling me to think for myself which made it brighten."

That's about us. This girl, she really started thinking after that day. I'm glad seeing this change in her, though her habit of taking in more knowledge is still there, seeing her make progress like this is satisfying.

Then Otsuka-senpai presented hers, "There she was, curious as a cat. However, when she witnessed something she didn't expect, she ran as fast as a mouse running from a cat."

It sounds like it's about her at first but she changed the second sentence to someone giving up on her curiosity. Unlike her who was bested by her curiosity as she watched on in earnest. Even now, she's still curious about me.

"It was supposed to be the perfect day. But then he came in and shattered everything I believed in."

Err... Why do their sentences somehow point to me? This one's from Kana and it perfectly explained what happened to us. Me catching them on that day and her belief of genuinely liking Kenji was shattered.

When it's my turn to present mine, all eyes were on me, I didn't have any experience in this so I only wrote what first popped out inside my mind. "Though my desire was what led me to you. Falling for you was genuine and true."

Upon hearing that, Kana blushed profusely as she silently pinched my hand under the table. Though it sounded cheesy and cringe, the other three didn't comment on it.

It might have applied to Kana but it could also be applied to all my girls who I really fell in love with. And maybe to Fujii as well if what we had between us evolved to that. But since only Kana was the one I could call mine here, it naturally got directed to her.

Wrapping up the club activity like that, Ishida-senpai collected the paper we wrote from and stored it somewhere. I thought she? also presented what she wrote but I guess she exempted herself from the activity today.

After that, we were now free to do whatever we wanted. I talked to Kana about her novel and also I mentioned about the book enthusiast who was helping me. She asked who it was even though she already had a guess that it might be one of my girls, she expressed her desire to meet her.

Half an hour later, we stood up and told them we're leaving. Since I still have somewhere I have to go to, I told her that I might leave the club early. Though reluctant, she agreed for her to go home early if I will spend some time with her, alone.

Leaving the three girls there, Fujii told me to check my Messenger later. She has already decided the schedule for our meet-up.

Kana held my hand as we went down the stairs. I planned to bring her to one of the empty clubrooms where we could spend our time together and what I chose was where the President brought me earlier. That room has a sofa we could relax and maybe do more than relaxing.

Of course, I made sure no one saw us entering it, with the SC President lurking somewhere. I told Kana that we should take caution when in public like this.

After entering that room, Kana immediately clung to me. Her well-developed breasts pressing onto my body immediately triggered a reaction from me.

"I missed being this close to you, Ruki."

She whispered as she looked up at me longingly. 𝒏𝓞𝑣𝑬𝓁𝓤𝓈𝑩.𝚌𝔬𝓂

"You confessed like that, does that mean my Kana will stay by my side?"

I caressed her face and traced her lips with my finger.

Though I'm asking for the obvious, I just wanted to hear it from her directly.

"Un. I'm truly yours now, Ruki. Kenji, he told me he wanted to start over earlier but I rejected him again. That's probably why he chose not to go to the club."

Ah. He still hasn't given up. At least he didn't do something drastic.

"If he did something, don't hesitate to tell me, okay? I'll always be here for you. I won't let him bother you or even put you in danger. I stole you from him and he will surely not take that lightly."

I've already prepared for that. If he did something to my Kana, who knows what I can do to him. As long as he behaves himself and accepts his loss, we could still stay civilized in the club. We will surely meet soon so the next time he sees me, it won't be me acting like a timid junior like before.

"Un. I'll keep that in mind. I also expected him to do something. What I did might be cruel but this is for the better. Rumi. I know she really likes him but she was restraining herself for us. I told her if she still feels the same then she should confess to him now before we graduated. I know it might be just my selfish wish for him to be occupied by other thoughts but I also want Rumi to find her happiness."

But Ishida-senpai couldn't take me out of her mind as well. Err... it might just be her being concerned about Kana. She knew I already had Yae. Maybe soon, she will also ask to talk to me about this.

"I see. So that's probably why she followed him to that hotel before."

No girl in their right mind will follow someone to a love hotel if they're not interested, right?

"Now that you mentioned it, who were you with when you saw them?"

Kana as if a light bulb was suddenly lit inside her head, asked the thing that I haven't told her yet.

"Err… promise you won't get angry?"

"As long as you take me on a date, I don't mind sharing you. But Ruki, I also want to feel special."

With her pout and bloated cheeks again, Kana hugged me tighter. She's not restraining herself now, openly showing me all this affection, I really love this.

"My Kana is already special. When do you want to go?"

As long as they ask, I'll do it for them. Well, if I also feel like it, I'll ask them out, not just for Kana but for all the girls I have.

"When you're free. I'll wait for it, okay? So, who is it?"

Knowing I was a bit busy, she didn't give a definite date and let me decide it for us. I nodded at her as I started thinking when will be the best time to take her out on a date.

"It's a girl who I stole from middle school. She's from another school."

At one point, if they continue staying with me then they'll all meet each other. Err, I wonder what will happen if I gather all of them in one place? Will it be a paradise or… Ah. Let's not think negatively. I want them all to get along to each other but yeah, there's bound to be competition no matter what I do.

"I see. She's lucky she met you first."

Kana said in a low voice, lamenting the fact that she met me too late.

"Don't be like that, I found you on my first day here and I guess I'm the one who got lucky this time. I got my adorable Kana."

Pinching both of her cheeks, I tried to ease her up. There's nothing we can do about that. If I met her during middle school, I wouldn't really notice her since she'll just be a cute and shy girl at that time when my desire ran rampant.

"Muu… stop teasing me."

Pouting again, Kana tried reaching for my cheeks but I dodged it by moving my head back.

"I'm not teasing you, I'm really lucky to have found you."

After saying that, I let go of her cheeks and circled my arms around her back. Pulling her closer to me, I lifted her like that in which she immediately held onto my shoulders while her legs circled to cling onto me.

She's so light so lifting her up like this seems so easy. Taking her lips again, I walked us from the door to the sofa that was waiting for us. For the time we had left, I'll make her feel more special.

Chapter 138: Spending Time with Kana *

"Haahhh... I missed this, Ruki. Your touch and the feeling of you inside me. Uuhhm…"

Kana breathlessly muttered when my cock fully slid inside her. With how she immediately tightened on me upon entering her, I fell down on top of her as I started caressing her now naked body in front of me.

The door was locked from the inside and most students were busy at their clubs so this time with Kana will be spent without us having to restrain ourselves.

After putting her down on the sofa earlier, Kana never let go of me again. From initiating more kisses to pushing my hands to touch her, she's the one who's leading me on despite being on top of her.

Compared to the top of the stairs where we previously did it, doing it here is much better. Lying comfortably on the sofa, it's like seeing her in my bed again, just like our first night.

"My Kana has turned from being too shy to this."

When she relaxed from our position and from the sensation of me entering her, my hips started moving as I started to grind her insides. The way she wrapped around my cock and every reaction she made always got me more eager to do her.

Kana bit her lips while her face put on the most erotic expression I've ever seen from her. With every thrust of my hips, she will let out a soft moan that's stimulated me to further make her feel good.

"Aahh… And who was it… uhhhn... that made me like this? You bully. Aahhn!"

Ending her question with a moan, Kana clung tightly to me. Her hips also started moving alongside as it tried to meet my thrust, taking me in deeper inside her.

The pleasure coming in from how she tightened every time I reached her deepest part always made me moan.

"Right. I made my Kana like this. Then let me teach you more positions."

From lying down on the sofa, I picked her up and turned her around. Kana went along with it as she got on her knees and raised her butt up.

I grabbed her butt and squeezed it before putting my cock back inside her. Doing her in this position provided her with a familiar sensation. This is just like that time when Kenji called her that night. Fucking her from behind while she's talking to her boyfriend. That was truly satisfying for my desire back then.

Eventually, Kana ended the call to focus on what we're doing, giving herself to me.

And this time, Kana held onto my arm as if telling me to do it harder. I leaned down first to kiss her before doing what she wanted.

With the time we had, I got her in other positions in which we both thoroughly enjoyed but ultimately we ended up back in her favorite position.

She requested it. So I sat myself on the sofa while she climbed up and put my cock inside her as she took my lips and tongue into another kiss. Moving herself on top of me, she put my hands on her swelled up breasts and butt.

Finishing in this position, Kana took in my semen inside her again. After getting exhausted, she just let her body fall on me and rest there while feeling my hands caressing her head and back.

"I really came to love you, Ruki. I changed because of you but not only that, the way you held me, you're always considerate not to hurt me and that's your true thoughts, you cared too much. Maybe this is also how you were with the other girls but experiencing it by myself, I wanted to always be pampered by you like this."

Kana muttered quietly with a voice full of affection. Her eyes that were staring at me intently were also telling the same thing.

"Un. I'll always pamper my Kana like this. You know, when I still haven't remembered and haven't changed yet, you're the first one who gave me a new sensation. That time during my first visit to the club, where we held hands hidden from their sight. That fluffy atmosphere between us made me feel comfortable."

I haven't told her about this but yeah, at that time, I haven't realized how important Akane is to me yet nor any of these feelings I have for them now. Just that time where I felt really comfortable holding her hands.

"Really?"

Kana's eyes shined brightly as she sought for confirmation. Maybe for me, it's not that big of a deal but for her, it's important. To have me feel differently, right, that's probably important for them.

"Yes. How should I say it? It's like I felt like I could stay in that time with you and I will never feel restless."

Kana giggled after hearing my confirmation and the way I described it.

"I'm glad. Actually, it's also that time when I started to think about why I am with Kenji. Our encounters might have been considered short but every time I'm with you, I feel like I can talk my heart out like this."

Though it looks so easy to get her before, I guess it became the case of meeting the right person at the right time. She was stuck in her mindset and I made her get out of it.

"Un. My Kana became this talkative now. This is truly refreshing. Hearing your voice is really soothing to my ears."

She always stuttered before because of how shy she is but after opening her up, she'll only get shy in front of me whenever I tease her.

"There goes your tongue again, always saying the right words."

Ah. Well. It's not just her who mentioned this. Shio also said something like this. I guess, everything was out of experience talking to different kinds of girls. But yeah, it's also just me trying to be as honest as possible to them.

"Just being honest with my Kana."

"You better be. I really like this part of you. Though you lied at first about liking me, in truth you really liked me, right?"

She's talking about the first time I talked to her in mail, right? I told her I like her so I met with her on those stairs where we kissed for the first time. The way she responded to me back then was really satisfying.

"Probably. After the changes and realizations that happened to me, I found out that those who I tried to steal and successfully stolen were those who I really came to like."

"On that note though, you're a bad guy."

Kana curtly said. Though she said it like that, it's not like she's telling me to apologize. What's done is done.

"I know. I'm always this bad. Once I come to like someone, I'll take her for myself. That's the core of this desire. I could control it now but it's still here."

"Uhm just don't forget about me, okay?"

Kana said in a slightly worried tone. This girl couldn't stop worrying.

Now that she's completely mine, of course, I won't forget about her.

"Never, even after you graduated, you'll still be mine."

"Un. I will always be yours, Ruki. Meeting out of school is always possible."

She smiled before presenting possible locations where we can go together and meet up even if she's already a graduate. She's thinking that far ahead, eh?

After our talk and determining we already rested enough, we separated from each other and put our clothes back on. It's time to send her to the bus station. Our time could be said to be well spent. We've got that satisfying time and that time where we shared our thoughts about each other. Kana was blooming a beautiful smile so I guess she also felt the same. The thought of breaking up with that Kenji already left her mind.

On the way, Kana chose to walk in front of me until we left the school premises. She's this considerate after telling her that I was now getting monitored by someone. She didn't ask who but I was always prepared to tell her if she asked. I guess this is fine too, she doesn't need to also be entangled with the SC President.

When we're already out of sight of whoever's monitoring me in school, Kana linked arms with me as I walked her to the bus station. Kana whispered 'I love you' once more and kissed me before getting on the bus. I might've blushed a bit since she giggled upon seeing my face after that.

After her bus disappeared from sight, I started walking back to the Club Building, with one thing done, next will be picking up Itou at the Game Club.

It's time for the sisters to meet and maybe know her story from their mouths. There's also Shio waiting for me after this.

Arriving back to the 3rd floor of the Club Building, I knocked on the Game Club's door.

"You're here! I thought you wouldn't come."

Opening it was none other than Itou but those club members inside also looked on as to who knocked and who Itou was waiting for.

When Hashimoto saw me, he almost stood up from his seat before sending me a thumbs up. That guy surely misunderstood the reason I showed up.

"Sorry. I also have club activity so--"

"Ah. No. I didn't say you're late. I'm just too excited."

Itou acted silly as she giggled at the thought of meeting her sister.

"I see. Then let's go? I already told your sister about you coming to see her." 𝒏𝓞𝑣𝑬𝓁𝓤𝓈𝑩.𝚌𝔬𝓂

"Yes! Guys, I'll be going out first. See you tomorrow."

After saying yes, she bid farewell to her club mates. She's exuding too much happiness. More So than when she won that game we played.

I'm sure a lot of them already misunderstood that I'm the reason why she's happy so I purposely said 'your sister'.

If that could prevent another rumor then good.

With me leading her, we went to the floor below and went straight to the Book Club.

"Eh? I thought her club's the Poem Appreciation Club?"

Confused why I brought her here. I knocked on the door first before answering her.

"Ah. She told me to bring you here. Don't worry, their club was like the extension of this Book Club so she often comes here as well."

After answering her, the door was opened by Mina. She reflexively stepped back when she saw me but upon seeing Itou behind me, she stopped herself.

"I see. You really do resemble each other. Ah. Come in."

Mina said as she stared at Itou before opening the door wider.

We entered it and in Haruko's corner, Himeko was already standing up as she waited for us.

"Nee-sama!"

"Ya-chan!"

Both of them almost shouted as we watched on as the two sisters ran towards each other.

This reaction. Looks like they're really restrained from their house. I wonder what's the story about them?

Chapter 139: Itou Sisters' Circumstances

With the two sisters hugging each other over there, I went and sat next to Haruko.

Mina who placed herself behind her veered away from me. That girl... If she will always be like this around me then I'll take it upon myself to soften her up. Ah. But I need to be alone with her.

"Your smell carried the scent of another girl, Ruki. Did you…?"

Haruko commented when she rested her head on my shoulder. Aya and the other club members were still busy at their corner and since this corner is placed in a blindspot from where they are, they couldn't see us nor the two sisters.

"I was with Kana before picking Itou from her club. Ah. You haven't met Kana yet."

Since we had just finished and all that time Kana's too close to me, her scent was already stuck on me.

"Kana? Do you mean that cute and shy third year?"

So Haruko already heard of her. Well, we're first years so the seniors were still a bit unknown from us. Kana is probably somewhat popular, even with her being shy like that, or that trait of hers made her popular.

"Un. That's her."

Telling Haruko about my other girls, this is already quite normal. She even watched the process of me stealing someone before.

"I see. She's one of your new girls. To think you'll start with her."

We're chatting casually like this while the two were still locked in their embrace. It's like those two haven't seen each other for many years. Now I'm wondering how they act at their house.

"Err… I chanced upon them during the 1st day so…"

"You don't have to explain, silly. By the way, how was your date with Akane?"

Err... Right. Why am I explaining it to her?

"It went well. She's happy when we went home the next day."

Maybe if there's a chance I'll also take Haruko somewhere. Well, all of them actually. So that they wouldn't feel left out. They have that chat group, what's happening around me was probably being conveyed there and were becoming a topic for their discussion.

"Then good. I'll wait for my turn."

Haruko comfortably snuggled to me while she pulled Mina on her other side. The girl was surprised but she didn't resist her. It's Haruko after all. Her act towards me was in complete contrast compared to how she acted like a girl in love towards Haruko.

"Where do you want to go?"

Knowing their preferences is better than planning blindly.

"Water park. Ever since middle school, I wanna go and see some dolphins with you."

Haruko answered, she even imitated the dolphins' whistle which both Mina and I found cute. For her to have this kind of cute side, even though they kept talking about how attentive I am to them, there's still a lot of things I don't know about them.

"Alright. I'll take you there soon."

I already started thinking about how we could enjoy that date together.

"You don't need to rush, okay? You're kind of overworking yourself these days."

Taking her eyes off from the two sisters, Haruko looked up at me and touched my cheek.

"I'll always have the spare energy for all of you, you know? Seeing your smiles is enough to energize me."

And it's the truth. Whenever I see their satisfied smiles, it also somehow satisfies me.

"Idiot. We'll be worried if you really overworked yourself. I told you to put some restraint, just like this, relax yourself while you're here."

Err. I'm kind of bad at restraining myself, yesterday with Satsuki and today with Kana.

"Then I'll listen to my Haruko."

I said as I also leaned myself to her. Just like that, while waiting for the sisters to calm down, we relaxed in each other's support. Mina became something like a third wheel but she stayed at her seat even with how aggrieved she was by looking at us.

"Uhm. Haru, Mina, this is my little sister, Maaya. Ruki already knows you so there's no need to introduce you again."

After some time Himeko brought Itou near us and they sat in front of us next to each other.

"Nice to meet you. Thank you for taking care of Nee-sama. And Ruki, thank you for bringing me here."

Itou bowed in front of us like a good little sister.

"Is it fine to ask a question, Hime?"

Not only me, Haruko and Mina were also puzzled by how they acted. Since they're already together for a year, they knew Himeko has a sister but the way the two acted is highly unusual.

"Uhm, yes."

"You can also ask me, senpai."

Itou also chimed in upon seeing her sister being put to a question like that.

This girl, does she have a sister complex?

"No matter how we looked at it, you two, how are you at home?"

Though they're probably expecting that question, the sisters both put on a complicated expression.

"We…"

Himeko was clearly having a hard time answering it as she took glances towards her sister.

"Nee-sama, leave it to me."

Itou pushed herself forward and started talking.

Like what we expected, they never interact with each other at home and even during their ride from there to here and vice versa.

Their chauffeur was someone answering to their father, who took over the family after their grandfather retired. Their father was the most disappointed when Himeko became an introvert. Because of that, he wanted Itou to be the perfect heir. Grooming her to become one. But one thing they didn't account for was Itou's devotion towards Himeko. Even if no one will talk to her, she will always go to her side and cheer Himeko up. For her, Himeko is the best sister even if they all don't look favorably upon her.

When their father found out about that, they separated the two during their middle school. With Himeko being sent somewhere far away the two lost contact with each other. Their father was afraid that Himeko might influence Itou to also give in to the pressure of shouldering the responsibility.

It's kind of cruel, yes. Only when Himeko graduated from middle school did she come back to their house and was enrolled here. By that time, their father thought that Itou was already distant towards Himeko but little did he know that Itou learned to restrain herself.

Secretly, she talked to their retired grandfather. His words still carried weight to the family so when she requested to be enrolled at the same high school as Himeko, it was granted despite their father's opposition. The only thing her father could do was to put that chauffeur to monitor them and made sure that the two wouldn't be as close as before.

Himeko might've given up the successor position because of how heavy it is for her but for their own father to even try to break their relationship, that's something.

"So, you're not allowed to be seen interacting with her?"

I asked after Itou finished talking. I directed the question to Himeko who was silently watching her sister talk about their circumstances.

"Un. I'm already used to being shunned by them but I don't want them to scold my little sister because of me."

Himeko looked down as if she's feeling bad that Itou might have a hard time because of her.

"Nee-sama…"

"Himeko, is there no way for your father to change his view of you?"

I asked again. If that's what her father thinks of her, then she just has to change his view of her, right?

"I don't know. I don't hate him, actually. He's thinking for the family's sake."

"Huh? What family's sake are you talking about? Separating you two is for your family? I'm sorry but that sounds bull--"

Before I could curse, Haruko put a hand on my mouth to stop me.

"Alright. Stop there Ruki. Hime, you didn't tell me about this, I thought you just couldn't face your sister because of how you gave in to the pressure of being the oldest but seeing the two of you today, you both want to be close again, right?"

Haruko stood up and asked the two, she also has her own take of their situation.

""Yes.""

The sisters replied in concert.

"Then why not do it? Your father or whoever it is that's monitoring you two, forget about them. Live your life without regret. Your father was too focused on your business that he already neglected that you're both human beings."

Seeing Haruko already telling them what I wanted to say, I calmed myself down and quietly listened.

"But he will separate us again if…"

Itou was too worried that they'll be separated. Why though? They could just reject it. Are their father's words and commands absolute?

"Then do it secretly for now, and Hime, you're trying to change, right? Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Haruko continued correcting their thoughts. Himeko also told me before that she wanted to change for her sister.

"Uhm. Ya-chan, I will have Father change his views of me soon. I'm working on a plan to help the family. 𝒏𝓞𝑣𝑬𝓁𝓤𝓈𝑩.𝚌𝔬𝓂

Himeko turned to her sister, she had a smile on her face that's conveying how Itou shouldn't worry.

"Stop calling it family, Himeko. Your family is not your family's company."

Hearing family again, I couldn't help but open my mouth again.

"But that's."

"If you're really a family, he wouldn't distance the two of you from each other."

How is that a family? Really. I might not have a perfect family since they're always away from me but to separate two sisters from each other, that's not what a family does.

"Onoda-kun, your words might seem right but it's hard to apply to us. Because they failed to give birth to a son, the responsibility to maintain the company falls to us. You saw me at our hotel. Even at my age, I'm already training to manage our businesses."

Itou rebutted my argument. Pushing out that their family is different.

"Alright, let's say your environment is different, but do you think it's right for him to separate the two of you?"

This is what I'm pointing to. Why does he have to separate them when they're that close.

"Of course not, but he's the current head, his words are hard to refute."

"I know I shouldn't curse but that's kind of bullshit. What's wrong with sisters being close to each other? And Himeko isn't the introverted girl they know anymore."

I couldn't help but be agitated by Itou's counter-argument. Hard to refute, eh?

Feeling the indignance to accept it, I stood up and went to Himeko's side

Pulling her up from her seat, I took her lips and kissed her in front of Itou.

"Eh? W-what? What's happening?"

Confused, Itou couldn't help but raise her voice upon seeing me taking Himeko's lips.

"Himeko has already changed. I don't know what's that plan she mentioned but you two should stop distancing yourselves from each other. You both love each other so show it. Don't restrict yourselves because someone says so. You see, I'm someone who does things because I want to, if I made up my mind, no one can change it anymore."

"A-all that talk didn't explain why you kissed Nee-sama."

Ah. She's hung up on why I suddenly kissed Himeko.

"Ah? That? Isn't it obvious? I made up my mind to have Himeko as mine. So, if I can be of help, tell me."

"Nee-sama?"

"That's how it is, Ya-chan, this guy is…"

Himeko, who had just recovered from my sudden action, answered her sister with a red face.

"Alright, what that silly guy is trying to say is, ignore what your father told you and do what you want. Say, will you still accept it if he told you that he'll send Himeko away again?"

Haruko, seeing the situation suddenly evolve to this, had a hand on her forehead as she tried to explain my actions.

Sorry, Haruko. I couldn't explain myself well.

"No, of course not! The three years apart from Nee-sama is already enough."

Hearing that hypothetical question, Itou immediately rejected it.

"Then Maaya-chan, you know what to do."

With a smile, Haruko told her.

"…Alright. I made up my mind, I'll show them how I really love to be with Nee-sama."

She thought for a few seconds before answering with determination in her eyes.

"Uhm, me too. Even if I couldn't be the heir anymore, I'll do my best to help Ya-chan."

Himeko too raised her voice to support Itou.

"If something happened, don't hesitate to tell me. My abilities are limited but if it's for a girl I like, I'll do my best."

Getting taken in by the momentum, I also blurted out what's on my mind.

"But Onoda-kun, can you remove your hand on Nee-sama first?"

Itou's eyebrows were bow twitching as she watched me still holding Himeko in my arms.

"No. If she's supporting you then I'm the one supporting her."

I answered as I pulled Himeko closer to me. Though Himeko is kind of trying to wriggle out her way out of my embrace, her resistance was too low.

"Idiot. Don't take Haru's place."

Mina finally broke her silence as she said her piece.

"Haruko is mine so it's already understood that we're both supporting her."

Right. We'll both support this former introverted girl.

"Huh? What did you just say?"

And because of my words, Itou once again fell into confusion.

Err. I forgot she didn't know our complex relationship. Maybe soon, she will also bring up Akane who she saw with me at their hotel.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 140: What Shio Wanted to Do

After explaining our complex relationship, Itou's view of me made a 180 turn. From how she was thankful of me for bringing her here, she's now glaring at me while she kept Himeko behind her.

"I don't know and I don't want to know what's the real deal but I'll take Nee-sama out of here."

Itou turned around and pulled on Himeko's hand.

"Wait, Ya-chan. I know it's hard for you to take it but Haru and Ruki, they're the reason why I'm starting to change."

Instead of being pulled by her, Himeko stopped Itou.

"Nee-sama, I'm thankful to Haruko-senpai for what she did for you but look at what that guy did, he also wanted you even if he already has Akane and Haruko-senpai. What is he?"

Like I thought, she will bring up Akane.

"I know it's hard to understand, Itou. Normally, we wouldn't reveal this to anyone since we're truly not normal, but you're Himeko's sister. She wanted to help you and I'll be helping her do that."

I already have an initial hold on Himeko so, even if she managed to pull her out today, I can just go back here tomorrow to see her.

"You can help Nee-sama without doing that, right?"

I see. She's against the idea of Himeko being taken by me. I couldn't really blame her when she was suddenly exposed to our not-so-normal relationship.

"But I like your sister, I already expressed it to her."

Unlike Mina, after all the time I spent with Himeko, I already decided to take her as mine soon. That's why I really want to help them in any way I can

"Ya-chan, I love Haru. Ruki, I'm still not sure what I think about him but being with him…"

Himeko trailed her last sentence and didn't finish it, instead, her gaze turned to me.

"Nee-sama, he's saying Haruko-senpai is his while just yesterday I saw him checking out of our hotel with another girl. He's not loyal."

Well if it's about loyalty, I'm loyal to my feelings for them. But the loyalty she's trying to say was about those who were already satisfied being with the girl they like the most that they wouldn't entertain any other girl apart from their current partner.

That's great and all but I already strayed far from it.

"Haru is aware of that, me too. That's just how he is."

"Why does it sound like what he's doing is a normal behaviour for you?"

I wonder why she's only reacting like this to me but let the fact that Himeko loves Haruko. Did she interpret that differently?

"Because that's what is normal for us, Maaya-chan. Hime, tell her what you want to do."

Haruko seeing the growing tension from Itou finally butt in to calm things down.

"Ya-chan, I know it's hard for you to understand but I have a place here. I will change so that I can lighten your load and that change will happen here."

"Nee-sama…"

Itou couldn't refute anymore when Himeko hugged her again.

Himeko became an introvert because of the pressure of shouldering their family name and only when she encountered Haruko did she start to open up but that's still not enough, she might've opened up to Haruko but she's still the same in their home.

But with my appearance as well as knowing how Haruko turned like that, Himeko also decided to be taken by me. Well, her reason was that if Haruko changed because of me, there's also a chance for her to change.

However that's just her blind belief, I might've influenced my girls but the decision to change still lies within them.

With Itou's appearance here and the things we talked about earlier, the determination within Himeko's eyes told me that she finally decided to change by herself.

It only got complicated because of our complex relationship behind it.

"Itou, if it will make you feel at ease, I'm going to leave first. What I told you about our relationship, I'm not asking you to understand it completely but Himeko and I, as you can see, we already have something between us."

"Ruki, you don't have to leave."

"No, Himeko, I think this will be for the best for now. I'll see you again tomorrow then we can talk about that plan of yours and about how we can help you."

"Then, before you go. Hold me again."

"Are you sure?"

"I also want Ya-chan to understand what you are to me."

"Alright."

I opened my arms and Himeko put herself in my embrace. Maybe what I did for them today finally made Himeko take the next step for us. I expressed to her how I really want her to be mine and she also understood that this is also Haruko's desire to keep her within arm's reach. If I'm only taking advantage of her before, this time, she's already willing to be held by me.

I didn't kiss her again to put Itou's mind at ease but from what she just witnessed, she will understand that it's her sister's decision.

Saying goodbye to Haruko, I also refrained from kissing her this time which she understood. Mina still couldn't look at me straight but she also bid me take care.

After that, I went to the busy Aya reading on the corner. I couldn't just forget about her being here as well.

When everything's done, I left the Book Club. They're all girls there now and since I've already known the reason why the sisters acted like that, I could work it out next time. I will ask Haruko what happened after I left later.

Itou's reaction was normal and it's not that surprising that she's against me having multiple relationships. Maybe after leaving the club she will also message Akane about it. And Akane being Akane, she'll probably defend me. Ah. I should tell her to be patient with her, those two hit it off pretty well yesterday.

There's that option to also take Itou to become mine but that's not viable for now, maybe in the future. I also came to like that girl who has that great sense of responsibility. Err. She might just be someone with a sister complex but for her to shoulder what's supposed to be her sister's responsibility without having any complaints or grievances against her sister, she's kind of amazing that way.

However, it will be hard for her to accept me if I ever showed interest in her. And if she rejects me, I'll accept my loss.

Now that I'm done with the clubs, it's time for me to go to Shio, is she still waiting there?

Making my way from the Club Building to the Administration Building, I passed by a lot of students who were about to go home, the athletic clubs were still ongoing with their practices though and Satsuki was there, preparing for their upcoming match.

I spotted Shio's car at the parking lot not far from the Administration Building so it means she's still there.

Entering it, there are fewer teachers left now and most of them were probably at their room, resting or grading papers.

About the clubroom that I was supposed to clean, it was for tomorrow.

I made my way to Shio's room and after checking left and right that there's no one around me, I knocked on her door.

She immediately opened it with my first knock. Seeing her at this time, it will be suspicious if someone saw us but yeah, that doesn't matter now. I missed this beautiful teacher of mine and after that thing from earlier where she cried her heart out, I really want to comfort her more.

"Were you waiting for long?"

I asked her when I entered the room and closed the door behind me.

"Not really, the meeting has just finished so I also just got back."

Shio took off the blazer she was wearing on top of her long sleeves polo. Unlike her earlier expression, she still has her composure right now as if the Shio who cried on my shoulder earlier was an illusion.

"You know, I'm honestly amazed that you could still keep a clear head to teach even with the problem you're carrying right now."

"Ruru, this is my way of coping from it. Being depressed won't solve my problem."

She answered as she went to the table to prepare coffee for us.

"Right. My Shio is this strong of a woman."

Since I'm already a regular here in her room, I sat on her sofa as I watched her busying herself on that coffee maker.

"Who are you calling your Shio?"

She looked back and scowled at me.

"Who else?"

Seeing that scowl on her face, I couldn't help but go to her and hugged her from behind. I wanted to cheer her up, so saying things that might rile her up is good.

"I thought you're the type who wouldn't take advantage of someone feeling down."

Though hugging her like this surprised her a bit, she didn't reject it as she continued preparing that coffee maker.

"That's right. This is my way of cheering you up, Shio. If you need a shoulder, though mine's probably smaller than your husband's, you can lean on it."

"Say, Ruru. Did something change from you again? After that night when I visited your house..."

She finished preparing and already turned the coffee maker on. She then turned around and faced me.

Ah. Right. I haven't talked to her properly after that night since there's no chance. That night was when Miwa-nee confessed about the reason for my desire as well as me finally remembering that emotion.

"There is. I realized something, Shio. I like you. This is not just my want to steal you from your husband."

"Back then you won't even admit how you love that special silly girl of yours, now you're telling me you like me?"

Since I kept on pointing out that I only wanted her before, she was skeptical even when I had just confessed what I actually felt for her.

"Uhm. You're right about what you said that day. That's what changed Shio, I became aware of these things now so… I couldn't just hold on to the word 'want', I really like you."

"Am I supposed to be happy hearing that, Ruru?"

"No, I just want you to know about it. But you can ignore my words, your current problem takes priority today."

"This student. After confessing, you wanted me to ignore it? Haa. Just hold me like this for now. If it's you, putting on a strong front doesn't have any effect now."

Sighing to herself, Shio rested her head on my shoulder again as she whispered on my ears. She's really too weak right now that if I'm not here with her, she might've start crying again.

"I also like seeing the strong Shio, you know?"

The confident Ms. Miyazaki. That's one of her strong suits too.

"I'm not that strong and you saw it earlier. What should I do, Ruru?"

"I think it's not the question of what you should do. It should be, what do you want to do?" 𝗇𝒪𝐕𝓮𝒍𝑈𝑆𝔟.𝒸𝐎𝓂

Right, she shouldn't ask me about what to do, I'm also clueless about that. For now, it's a matter of what she really wanted to do. Her cheating husband brought the girl in their house and instead of listening to her, he left with the girl. That's a brave guy, I tell you. It's a wonder why he hasn't been caught yet.

"… I just want to forget about my problems, will you help me, Ruru?"

Shio raised her head and stared at me.

After mumbling the changed question for at least 10 times, Shio found her answer.

"Isn't that why I'm here?"

"Then kiss me, Ruru."

Nodding my head, I didn't hold back and immediately took her lips into a kiss.

For now, this is what she really needed. To forget. And I'm here to help her with that.

Chapter 141: Make her Forget

Though she told me to kiss her, Shio just closed her eyes as she let me take her lips. Seeing that, I stopped for a bit and whispered to her.

"Look at me, Shio."

When I stopped and she heard my voice, her eyes slowly opened. She told me she wanted to forget but closing her eyes, she's thinking about her husband again.

"I'm the one with you here. Stop thinking about him."

I placed my hand on her face, letting her feel my touch.

"You're really…"

With a sigh, Shio placed her hand on top of mine.

"Is this really what you want? You know, if you want to go somewhere, I'll accompany you."

Telling me to help her forget when it's clearly hard for her to do that. I might be placed within her heart now but how many years has it been since she fell in love with him?

It even led her to take him as her husband. My two weeks of knowing her couldn't best that.

"I see now. This is where you seem much better than him. You could've continued taking advantage of me but instead, you stopped and said these words."

She then placed her hand on my face and tapped it for a few times, like an adult patting a child.

"Well, I could continue if that's what you want. But clearly, that's not what you wanted so..."

"Alright accompany me somewhere, Ruru. But first..."

Her hand that was on my face went behind my head and settled at the back of my neck before pulling me close to her. Taking the initiative this time to kiss me, her lips that were passively receiving my kisses earlier became so active that it somehow overwhelmed me.

Her eyes were staring intently at me as our lips overlapped each other. My hand that was placed on her back started exploring it until it settled on her butt.

"My Shio is taking initiative. This only happened on our first meeting, right? When you still indulged in your fantasy."

Though I could play along with her back then, I chose to break her out of her fantasy.

"You were still so cute back then, but now…"

She didn't finish her words, instead, she took my lips again before using her tongue to lick every corner of my lips. I didn't let that slide as I caught her tongue to suck it.

We're even closer now that I could just pick Shio up and put her on top of her table.

But then, the sound of her coffee maker rang out indicating that it's done.

We both looked at each other before I released her.

She then went to put the coffee in the cups she prepared beforehand.

"Here's yours, Ruru. Drink this first then we'll go."

Shio handed me the cup she first poured on before going back to take her portion.

"And just when we're starting to get taken into the mood."

The coffee maker just had to ruin it, eh? I've been restraining myself with Shio until I successfully steal her but that mood just a moment ago was already good enough.

"Don't sound so disappointed. Stay with me tonight."

Shio pulled me to her sofa and we sat next to each other.

"You know, I'd love to take up that offer but there's that silly girl who will worry."

Akane will wait for me, I can't stay overnight yet. She's already changing herself so for the meantime, I'll look over her.

"… You're right. Then, I'll drive you home by 10."

After thinking for a while, Shio changed it. If it's not overnight then it's fine. I'll just have to tell Akane that I'll be with Shio.

"Alright, I'll message her about it. Ah no. I'll call her.

I excused myself for a while to call Akane, after telling her what I'll be doing, there was a pause before she cheerfully accepted it. Even if I picked that pause up, not mentioning it is better. I'm going to pamper her later.

"Such a good husband. Telling his wife he'll be with another woman until late into the night."

Shio teased when I went back next to her.

"It's better than lying to her, Shio. At least she knows who I am with and that at the end of the day, I'll be back at her side."

That is what's important for now. Akane knows that and will understand it.

"Your worldview is really twisted, Ruru. Your situation, how will you handle it in the future?"

I couldn't deny that, it's really twisted in a lot of ways. But it's what's normal for me.

"I'm sure I won't be able to handle it alone, but those who will choose to stay with me, they will surely help me even if I don't ask them."

My girls are all strong. Maybe even stronger than me so they will not just watch me do all the work to maintain our relationship.

"Haa. So you're really determined to have multiple girls."

Shio sighed as she took a sip on her coffee.

"That's just how I am Shio. You know, I'm also hoping you'll be there."

Having an adult will also somehow influence their view on things. There's already Miwa-nee and an addition of Shio will make things better.

"We'll see. I like you today but as I have told you, being an adult isn't as easy as it seems. You'll face a lot of trouble along the way."

Though she said she liked me that's probably just an expression. Her husband still took up most of her thoughts. I'm here because I'm the closest she could call onto who knows what's happening between them.

"I know. This reminder from you, I'll never forget it. But why is our topic switched to my situation? What about yours?"

Upon hearing my words, Shio sighed again. I guess she really deliberately steered our topic away from her.

"I told you, I want to forget it."

"You're not doing that, Shio. You're just putting it at the back of your mind."

"What do you think I should do? Cry again?"

"No. Decide if you want to stay with him. From what you told me, he intentionally brought the girl home for you to see. Maybe the way you reacted was what he really wanted to happen."

Her husband preyed on high school girls. There's no way he didn't know what he's doing. Everything was done on purpose.

"Ruru, he's my husband. I still really love him."

With a sad face like that, for her to utter that word… Is it still love? Or is she just holding onto those words? What can I do for this beautiful teacher of mine?

There's nothing, right? Then I'll do what I'm good at.

"Then I'll continue my quest to steal you completely from him."

Putting down the emptied cup, I turned to her and pushed her down the sofa, putting myself on top of her.

"I don't think forcing me will have an effect…"

Still with that sad face, Shio turned her gaze away from me.

"I won't force you, I just wanted to get a good look."

"Huh? What's there to look at?"

"Your beautiful figure. I already experienced this but this time, it's your turn to feel good."

Cupping her breasts on my hand, I could clearly feel the elastic texture of it even with her clothes and bra on.

"Ruru..."

Shio called out to me and I just smiled at her as I started unbuttoning her clothes.

"H-hey Ruru not here... I told you we'll go after the coffee. And you said you only wanted to get a good look."

Her previous sad face was slowly being replaced by her embarrassment.

"Just a bit."

I finished unbuttoning her clothes and what lay before me was her pair of mountains. Using my two hands, I pulled her bra upwards releasing it from being restrained.

The twin peaks were starting to harden. Shio is clearly feeling this. Though her hands were trying to push me away, she's already biting her lips, expectant of what I'm about to do.

"Really beautiful. I've only seen these once but seeing them again…"

I didn't finish my sentence as I leaned down to it. Putting one of her nipples inside my mouth, the other nipple wasn't spared as my hand dropped there and started kneading it.

"Haann. Ruru…"

I also put my tongue to work as it played her nipple inside my mouth. She's not lactating yet but there's already a milky taste as I sucked on it.

Suppressed moans as she called out my name came out of Shio's mouth. She's now staring intently at what I'm doing. That face of hers was already devoid of her earlier expression when talking about her husband.

I did this for that and at this point, I already succeeded, however, it's too early to stop

When I released her nipple from my mouth, it's already hard enough that its sensitivity was heightened. Biting it lightly elicited a surprised moan from her as she started panting for breath.

I switched to the other nipple of hers when it was red and swollen enough. A little touch on that will probably make her body twitch from how sensitive it is after the sucking and biting I did to it.

I lifted her skirt up and saw the trace of wetness from her adult underwear. Of course, from those moans, there's no way this part wouldn't be affected.

Though I only thought of teasing her nipples, my hand couldn't help but trace my fingers along the wetness displayed by it.

"Shio. Can I?"

Whispering on her ears that became too red now from the stimulation she received, Shio stared at me before turning her gaze away.

Without an answer coming from her, I stopped and took away my hand before fixing her clothes. From her skirt to her clothes, I buttoned it up completely

"Eh? Why did you stop?"

Surprised, Shio woke up from her trance. I made her focus on me and her voice even carried a hint of disappointment when she noticed I stopped what I'm doing to her.

"What? You told me we'll go somewhere."

I don't really plan on taking her here. I was also taken away by the situation which led me to do more than what I had in mind.

I only wanted to tease her for a bit. To remove that sad expression and turn her focus on me. I'll have her forget him completely. But yeah, that's a tall order for now.

"So you just wanted to tease me."

Shio pouted as she fixed her clothes that became a bit disheveled.

"Not really. Look."

I pointed to the growing bulge in my pants. If she's affected, there's no way I wouldn't. She's too sexy earlier and from her moans and her sweet calling out of my name. It also stimulated me.

"That..."

When her eyes fell onto it, Shio subconsciously reached out her hand.

Because of that, the feeling of her hand further stimulated it that it even grew harder.

"Ruru, you're already this hard, why do you want to stop?"

With her hand still on it, caressing it slowly, Shio looked up and asked me.

"This isn't the place I want to connect with my Shio for the first time."

Like with everyone, this little private room of hers isn't that place.

"Does that even matter?"

"For me it is. We'll always look back on our first time so I at least want it to be memorable."

"Idiot. Wait for me outside. I'll bring the car over. Make sure no one will see you, okay?"

Removing her hand from there. Shio pinched my cheeks as she started pushing me out of her room.

"Alright but Shio, did I make you forget about him just now?" 𝗇𝚘𝒱𝑒𝓁𝒰𝓈𝒷.𝑪𝚘𝔪

I wanted to hear her say it even if it's already apparent from how she reacted.

"…You did."

"I'm glad. Take me to your house, okay?"

"Huh? Why?"

"I'll make you forget about him there. On your bed."

Though that's probably a suitable place, she'll surely reject it but if by chance she accepted then…

"You…"

Her voice trailed as she couldn't find the words to answer me.

"Of course, you can reject me Shio. Everything will still be decided by you."

I reached in and kissed her to take her out of the trance she put herself under again before leaving her room.

Leaving her in that state of confusion, I walked out of the Administration Building and out of the school gates to wait for her car to pass by.

If my guess is correct, her husband will probably be at their house again. With the girl.

He's possibly trying to aggrieve Shio to force her to file the divorce herself. He knew how much Shio loved him so even if he filed a divorce, it might be taken to court if Shio rejected.

Ah. Of course, this is all just a guess from all the things she shared from me. We'll see if I'm right or not.

Chapter 142: Shio's House (1)

"Somehow, I like watching how focused you are. Especially when in class."

I muttered to break the silence between us.

We're already away from the school and are currently traversing a major road that will lead us to the area where Shio's house is located.

In the end, even without me telling her, she planned to bring me to their house. She probably thought that once she goes home, she'll still be alone. That's also maybe the reason why she told me to stay the night with her.

"Then keep watching me. Just don't disturb me when I'm driving and teaching."

Though she said that, a hint of a smile peeked out from her lips.

"I know. Watching you like this is enough."

Looking at her at this side. Shio is really an adult who was aware of what she's doing. And despite the risk, she continued to be involved with me, her student.

Her expression and the way she looked at me earlier was all genuine. I'm already there inside her, but still below her husband.

"You have too many girls to watch, why me?"

We soon left the main road as she turned the car to a neighborhood. Her driving started to relax as she loosened up her shoulders. I reached my hand there to give it some sort of simple massage.

"Simple. Because you're the one here with me. I tend to focus on who's with me at the moment."

Though she flinched for a bit when she felt my hand, she soon relaxed it when she realized what I'm doing. I didn't massage it for long though. Just enough for it to be relieved.

"Thank you, Ruru. But won't your body get tired? Running to every other girl."

They all have the same concern. Well, it's really a bit tiring but I chose to run to them and they're really not demanding for me to see them. Well, dates are a different story though.

"Seeing your smiles is enough to relieve it. I'm not like this before, you know?"

Their satisfied smiles. Right. That's enough to energize me.

"I see. So it's a part of you that changed."

Shio turned to a street where houses were far apart from each other. This is probably a new subdivision where there are only a few residents. So, her house is located here.

Though we're talking, I didn't forget to memorize the road we took and the scenery of what she's always seeing.

"Yes. I was foolish back then. Stealing someone and then throwing them away when I'm done. However, before I knew it, some of them were still chasing after me."

I'm really glad that I changed. That I got to see them again. Starting from Haruko who was waiting for me there. Then Yae, who kept on waiting for me to turn my eyes back on her. Aoi and Ria, who found comfort beside me. Sena and Otoha whose way of thinking changed because of me. I may have impacted their life so did they with my life. Now there's always the urge to see them. To see them smiling at me.

"Just don't forget to take care of yourself as well. I wanted to scold you when I saw you running earlier, you know?"

"Then you should've done that. Sometimes I tend to overdo it when it concerns you, girls."

Yeah. I overdid it when I even tried to go to the infirmary to get Satsuki's vitamins. Food and drink were probably enough but I still chose to do that.

"How could I when you had that look of worry on your face?"

"Err. Then remind me to not overdo it next time?"

Maybe the other girls couldn't notice it easily but Shio did. Haruko will surely point it out if she saw that. But yeah, doing things for their well-being and seeing their smiles after was enough for me.

"You know, sometimes you're this silly, sometimes you're very thoughtful, sometimes you're such a huge tease and sometimes you're too perverted."

"For you to notice that, Shio is watching me, eh?"

Teasing her after saying that. Ah. I guess what she said was all correct.

"Idiot. We're here."

Shio stopped the car in front of a 2-storey house and parked it in a garage not far from it.

I observed their house and its surroundings, there were only empty lots at the left and right of it and the house is big enough for a family of 5.

I guess, before their wedding, they already took into consideration how big of a family they will be when choosing their house. But with the way things are going now, that won't be realized anymore.

There's no other car in the garage yet so that means her husband isn't home. Will they arrive later or not at all? I don't know. I only guessed so there's a possibility that my guess is wrong. Either way, I'll be with Shio until 10. Here in their house which he probably bought using his money.

I saw Shio sighing when she noticed that there's still no sight of her husband's car in the garage.

"I may not be able to replace him easily, but I'm here with you, Shio."

I reached out for her hand when we got out of her car.

Comparing me to his husband. Of course, I will lose by a large margin. That guy's already an adult while I still live off my parent's money but this time, what Shio needs is someone who can keep her company. To take her mind off their problems.

"Now I am like him, bringing my student to our house."

I expected her to think like this so I went next to her and led her to the house myself.

"No, you didn't bring me. I forced you to bring me here. It's different."

I put my hand in front to ask for their key.

"You're just trying to ease my mind, Ruru."

She opened her bag and took the key out of it. Instead of giving it to me, she opened it herself.

I guess, even with all this, it's still important for her. She married into this house. For someone to hold the key apart from the two of them was something she couldn't accept yet. From this, it really shows how much she loves him, even with everything that we did and everything that he did, he won't easily be replaced by someone else.

"It's much better than seeing you get depressed again, Shio."

I followed her into the house, looking at her back, she really oozes out her sadness seeing the house devoid of people. Maybe when they were starting this house looked lively enough for her but now, it just exudes her loneliness. I noticed the picture frames were turned down. Maybe those contained pictures of them and because of what's happening currently in their married life, it's hard for her to look at it.

"Ruru, you can put your bag there then wait for me in the living room, I'll make us a drink."

"We just had coffee. There's no need."

Before she left for the kitchen, I went and hugged her from the back.

"This can wait, right?"

Thinking it was just me who couldn't wait to take her to bed, Shio asked.

"I know but that's not why I hugged you. Shio, stop making a sad face like that."

It's really unbearable to watch her like that, so I went forward and stopped her.

"You…"

"Just like how you watched me, I'm also watching you. Even before we entered, you already have that face on and it's a bit unbearable for me. Sorry."

I tightened my hug from her as I rested my chin on her shoulder. She's just looking straight ahead, afraid to show me her currently sad face. 𝐧𝓞𝒱𝔢𝐋𝑢𝓈𝒃.𝕔𝑂𝔪

"It's really a bad idea to bring you here."

After saying that, I saw a tear run down from one of her eyes. This Shio. After venting out earlier today, I thought she would be fine for the day but once we arrived here, she's back in that state.

Will she just cry out like this if I didn't insist on coming here with her?

She asked me to come with her,? I guess she's expecting that her emotions will burst out once she arrives home and I'm the one who will stop her from doing that.

"Maybe it is, but Shio. I'm already here so let me do something for you."

"What will you do?"

I turned her around and pulled my handkerchief out. Wiping her tears away using it, I smiled at her. It might not be the best smile but it carried my intention to stop her from crying while we're here.

Ah. If she will be like this with her husband then it's really better to steal her away from him. Though she won't be the only one, I will make sure not to neglect her like what he's doing to her.

"Shio. I'll repeat the words I told you that day you first called me to your room."

Her tears were still running down so I wiped it away again before continuing my words.

"I'm going to steal you from your husband, so, prepare yourself."

I took away the handkerchief before cupping her face with my hands. Planting a kiss on her lips, though she expected what I was about to do, Shio let me do it.

With a relationship like that, I'm going to pull her away from it.

"Ruru…"

She muttered my name when I let go of her lips and face.

"You don't have to say anything. I'm here to help you forget, right? Now, what do you want to do?"

Smiling at her again, I asked her.

"Come with me."

She fell into thought for a while before she took my hand and led me inside, past the living room and into one of the rooms. As to what she will show me, maybe it's something that will take her mind off her problem. For now, I'll help her with that.

Chapter 143: Shio's House (2)

Shio led me into her hobby room. Err. It's full of manga, novels, posters and everything that concerns her hobby.

It was locked from the outside and only she holds the key to open it. Even her husband wasn't allowed entry here, normally.

"He's not that fond of my hobby so everything that concerns it was put here." 𝗇𝚘𝒱𝑒𝓁𝒰𝓈𝒷.𝑪𝚘𝔪

Shio explained as we entered the room.

There were rows of bookshelf divided by manga and light novels, consoles of different generations displayed on a glass display cabinet, games for those consoles and more. There's even a cabinet full of cosplay costumes. Somehow I want to see her in one of those.

Her hobby not only included those books in her room at school but yeah, she's a full-blown otaku. I guess, what's in there were her recent interests.

"I have no idea your hobby extended this much, not only those that concerned your fantasies. You have a lot of stuff here, Shio."

I expressed my real thoughts to her. It's her hobby, there's no point criticizing someone over their hobby.

"You don't find it weird for me? Sometimes I spend my time here when the problems pile up and I have no way to solve them. But this current problem we have couldn't be quelled just by me spending time here."

"This is like your safe zone, right? Why would I find it weird? Everything here is normal."

I walked around the room and checked everything I found interesting, after a while I went back next to her.

"I see. You're really different, Ruru."

Shio went to the door and closed it which left us alone in this hobby room of hers.

Though I'm still puzzled as to why she brought me here, I didn't voice it out and instead, waited for her to come back.

I'm going to steal her from her husband. I don't want to see her crying like that again.

"I know you're confused about why I brought you here."

Shio then went and opened a drawer. After rummaging for a while, she pulled out something from it. A thick book.

She lifted it up and put it on a table in the middle of the room, only then did I see what kind of book it is.

It's a graduation yearbook from her highschool. And this one's kinda personalized.

"During our time, the student council wanted the students to bring home more memories from high school, so instead of having the same yearbook, the students were asked to fill up the blank spaces with pictures or writings personally and this one's mine."

Ah. I guess this is what she really wanted to show me, the Shio during her high school. The girl who fell in love with her teacher.

She opened it and the first page was already a personalized page. There's her name, which class she's in and her message to her future self. There's even a small picture of her and a male teacher at the lower right corner of the page.

"Marry him. Don't ever let him go."

That's the last sentence on the message and she read it in a loud voice with her currently shaky voice.

I looked at the picture again. The male teacher was really handsome, it looks like he's not that old in this. The Shio in the picture was also smiling happily while hugging his arm.

"So, this is him."

I commented. They really look good together, eh?

However, that's already in the past.

"Yes. This is what calms me down whenever we have problems. Thinking back on our days when I was still his student."

She ran her fingers on the picture before flipping the pages of her yearbook, it's filled with her pictures with that male teacher. And in every picture, her smiles were more beautiful than the last. It showed how it started as just a crush until their love for each other can be seen from each other's expression.

"Shio. Everything in here is already your past. As you have said, he started to change after marrying you ."

That's what she told me when I acted as a wall in front of her. That he started changing after marrying her. Everything's perfect when the wedding hasn't happened yet.

"I know. But I'm still hoping he will come back to the same guy I fall in love with. I'm hopeless, right?"

With a hopeless smile, she looked at me. She's showing me how much she really loves that guy. Maybe I'm currently just as small as an ant in her heart so I couldn't make a real impact on her.

"It's not called being hopeless, it's called being hopeful. You know, Akane, she also waited for me for 5 years. Despite my lack of interest, she kept my image that was in her heart and mind before my desire manifested. Now, I remembered everything. Look at where we are now. Her waiting finally paid off."

Comparing what she's experiencing to Akane, I guess it didn't reach what Akane experienced during those 5 years, but it's the closest to her situation right now.

"So do you think I should still wait for him? For him to go back to the man who also fell in love with me?"

Ah. She thought I was trying to raise her hopes up.

"I'm supposed to steal you, right? But let's see, I'll answer you honestly. We're different from each other. I didn't naturally choose to forget about Akane, it might sound absurd but that's what happened to us. As for him, you kept telling me you love him and he's the same, what if you're the only one who's seeing the situation like that?"

Dropping those words on her, her smile froze as she started looking down again on the pictures in the yearbook.

"I…"

"Shio. I might be younger but I can confidently say I experienced different forms of love and how it was shown."

Was it really different? I don't know, but every one of them has their own reasons for falling in love. Shio, she probably only experienced her teacher's love. Just by how she hastily introduced him to her parents while thinking it would be perfect.

"Then what should I do?"

She looked up and confusion could be seen in her eyes.

"Are you really asking someone who wanted to steal you?"

I already decided to steal her before coming to this room, so let's see. I'll try and break her views.

"You're the only one I can ask."

She grabbed my hand as she looked straight into my eyes.

"Come with me, then. Leave this house. Live with me or if you don't want to live with me, just live somewhere else. As long as you stop waiting in vain here, hoping he would change if he saw how faithful you are."

This is what she really needed. To get away from this house. That husband of hers will continue to frustrate her until she gives up and signs that divorce papers but what would be left of her? She'll be the only one losing.

It might be an ideal situation for me to steal her but it just doesn't sit well with me. I couldn't just leave her after knowing all this.

I'm going to help her get back at him, help her stand again. Completely forget about him and in the process, make her mine.

"Huh? Why?"

"If you still think that he still has feelings for you, once he finds out that you left your house, he will look for you. If he did look for you and asked you to come back, reject first. If he stopped then that proves that you're wrong about him. However, if he came back again, reject him once more. One rejection is not enough to gauge what you really are to him. If he came back after those two rejections, then we can say he at least still has those feelings for you, it will be your decision by then. Stay with me or come back to his side, you're the only one who can decide what to do."

This might sound like helping her but during the time she will be away from this house and her husband, I'll make her completely fall for me.

"I see… by staying here, he'll think that even if he stopped caring for me, I will still be here waiting for him."

After mulling over what I said for a few minutes, she nodded as if she got a realization. She's not wrong anyway, that's most possibly what that guy thinks. No matter what he did, Shio will still be waiting at their house. So I have to get her out of this house. There's a lot of things reminding her of him here, and those tears she shed will just be followed by more tears, especially when she's alone.

"I guess staying until 10 pm will not be possible anymore. Then Shio, I'll go home."

After all this, I don't think we'll still be in the mood to do that. Well, if she will come with me now to leave this house then that's better.

"Wait Ruru."

Shio stopped me from leaving as she held on my arm using both of her hands.

"I told you I like you Shio, but I just helped you think of what to do about your relationship. If that worked, I won't have any chance again, I'll save myself some pain. If you insist on me staying, I won't stop like earlier."

She was about to open her mouth to answer me but that was stopped when we heard the sound of a car arriving outside.

Ah. What a way to ruin the mood I just built.

Shio stood up and went back to the entrance of the house. I followed after her and just like I thought, her husband came back.

From the window, we saw him park his car in the garage next to Shio's car. He got out of it and went to the passenger seat to open the door.

"Again, he's really…"

Shio muttered as we watched what's happening outside. A girl in her uniform came out from the passenger's seat, since it's a bit far away, I couldn't clearly see her face but from her figure and the way she walks, she's graceful at least.

"He has no qualms at bringing his girl now, you think he will still change back to the guy you fell in love with?"

I commented on her side. She's truly in love with him, just by the way she looks at him.

"Ruru, hide yourself in that room."

She turned to me and pointed back to her hobby room.

"I'm sorry but I won't do that."

I turned her around and pushed her back to the wall. We're just beside the door. Surely, we will be seen once the two enter the house.

"What are you doing?"

"At this point, you have to fight back, Shio. And I'm here to help you with that."

I didn't wait for her next words, pushing my face towards her, I took her lips into a kiss. Shio tried to push me away but she's a bit weak to do that. By pressing myself on her, she couldn't get out of my grasp. Sucking on her lips and then her tongue. I led her on as I felt her heartbeat started to beat fast as the footsteps outside started to ring louder which indicated that they're near.

I kept my eyes staring at Shio and since she couldn't move away from me, she also has no choice but to look at the guy forcefully kissing her.

"Ruru..."

"After this day, you can hate me or cut off everything about us but let me help you today. I really hated it when I saw your tears running down your face."

I kissed her again and this time, I conveyed all the feelings I have for her. Seeing her cry multiple times today, I just couldn't take it anymore. With the reason for her tears being near. I'll show that guy how I steal his wife.

"H-how can I hate you. Your feelings for me, I felt it."

Shio stuttered when I released her lips and said these words. I don't know what she will think about those feelings I conveyed to her. I'm already satisfied that she felt it.

"Either way, it's too late now."

Pushing myself closer to her, Shio's arms circled around my back as our lips met again. This time there's no more resistance from her. It's already too late to stop this. They will see us whether we stop now or not, so in the end, she chose to fight as I had told her.

Shio kept her eyes open as the door finally opened.

"Shiori! You!"

Our gazes met instantly as her husband set his foot inside the house. With the sounds of our kisses filling the corner where we are, he'd be an idiot if he didn't notice us.

With that angry shout, the figure following behind him was startled as her eyes also travelled to what he found.

"Oh? A visitor? Can you at least knock?"

Acting like I owned the house, his shout was met with my calm response.

So, how will you react now, Mr. Husband?

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 144: Confrontation (1)

"Shiori?!"

In a monotone-like voice, her husband called her name.

She was about to respond when I put my hand on her mouth to stop her.

"Is it fine not to answer when someone's asking you? Not only you didn't knock, you even have the gall to call her name."

When I stopped Shio from answering, he finally put me in his eyes, the high school girl behind him was also looking at us but it's clear that she has a troubled expression at this moment. Of course, why wouldn't she?

"Get out."

With a suppressed anger in his voice, he directed these words to me.

I smirked and turned to the girl he brought home.

I don't recognize that uniform but that doesn't matter. This girl is someone I knew. And of course, she recognized me as well which is why she's having a troubled expression right now.

Akiyama Nao, a senior from my middle school. Well, she's a girl who I managed to steal during my 1st year there. However, I was still a bit immature back then, not knowing that there's more I could do with her. But from how much I used to kiss her whenever we're alone, she became skilled at it.

I lost contact with her when she graduated but with her reaction upon seeing me, she still remembered the guy who stole her from her naive boyfriend back then.

She's like Izumi-senpai back then beautiful but with a delinquent like attitude. What happened to her that she turned like this?

Looking at this girl again, her hair wasn't like this before. Now, it resembled Shio's hair from the pictures she showed me, shoulder-length hair and a cloth ribbon decorating it. Is he projecting the younger Shio on this girl or it's just his personal preference?

Shio already abandoned that ribbon and was now letting her hair without any decorations, just that, it's well-kept.

After observing the girl, I turned back to Shio. Her eyes were shaking as she stared at her husband. Of course, I expected this reaction from her. Telling her to fight when she's clearly not ready, I have to support her.

In front of her husband's eyes, I whispered into her ears.

"If you cower now, there will really be no hope Shio. He deliberately brought the girl home again to push you in a corner. At this point, you have to show how strong you are. I wanna see that commanding side of yours taking the helm again. You're strong, Shio."

I watched over her reaction as I slowly said these words to her. Her eyes that were shaking just earlier stabilized as she took deep breaths to calm her emotions down.

"Hey, are you deaf? Really. Kids these days."

Seeing how I hadn't answered him, her husband tried to grab me by my shoulder but before he could do that, I slapped his arm away.

"I heard you loud and clear but I'm here because of Shio and not you."

It seems that my slap was harder than I thought, he was covering it up but I could still see how it immediately turned red.

"Ruru, let me."

Shio pulled on me as she stepped forward to face her husband. Her eyes carried the determination she managed to gather just now. I don't know if that's enough but if something happens, I'm at her back.

"Nobuo. Can we talk?"

"What? You brought a student to my house and now you're asking me to talk? Have you lost your mind?"

Ah. Look at this shamelessness. I can't say I'm not amazed. Does he think what he's doing is normal while Shio bringing me here is not?

"Your house?"

Shio scoffed at his words.

"So what if I brought a student home? What can you do about it?"

Shio continued with a mocking expression. She's deliberately trying to anger him.

"You! Shut up!"

He was about to raise his arm to hit Shio but since I was watching them, I prevented it. Before he could even raise it above his head, I already twisted his arm to his back. 𝒏𝒐𝓋𝐄𝐥𝑢𝗌𝑩.𝓬𝑜𝓶

"Argh! What the f*ck?! What are you doing? Shiori! Stop this rascal!"

Compared to the pictures she showed me where this guy always wore a kind smile, seeing someone in person is still a better way to gauge someone's personality.

Just because Shio talked back to him, he was already about to hit her. But since Shio didn't have any wounds or bruises when I saw her, this meant that he was calm during their first encounter.

So my existence here somehow put him in rage. He didn't expect Shio to bring someone home, he probably thought she would just wait for him and nag at him again. In the end, she won't be able to do anything. That's the scenario in his head.

"Ruru, please, release him. I dare him to hit me. I've been enduring what he's doing all this time. I guess I was really blinded with my love for him."

Hearing her words, I released his arm and pushed him away from us. He would've tumbled down if not for the sofa that stopped the momentum.

Nao was now forgotten as Shio's husband was fuming in rage while looking at us. I saw her standing frozen in her place as she didn't know what to do. I'll do something about her later.

Though Shio said all of those words, I couldn't help but notice her trembling body. She's clearly pushing herself.

"Fine! Let's talk!"

Probably thinking he wouldn't get his way if he just continued raging in front of us, he turned his back to us and started walking towards the interior of the house.

I went near Shio again before she started following him. They'll probably talk somewhere private. My existence beside Shio was affecting him after all.

"If he tried to hit you again, don't hesitate to shout. I'll immediately come to your side."

She looked back at me and nodded.

"Thank you, Ruru. But let me handle this, okay? I already decided, I'll come with you later."

Leaving those words, Shio started following her husband. As to what they will talk about, for now, I don't want to pry. I'm going to steal her anyway, it doesn't matter if they made up or not. What I'm concerned about is whether he will raise a hand against her again. If he did, I won't stop at just twisting his arm.

Looking at her still slightly trembling back, Shio is still pushing herself to look strong. I could clearly see how much she loves that guy, I might've opened her eyes just now but that's surely not enough.

Being left behind here, I turned my head to the still frozen Nao. Since she's his girl. Let's see if I can reignite what's between us before.

"Long time no see, Nao."

Hearing me addressing her using her first name, she got out of her frozen state as her eyes slowly turned to me.

"R-ruki…"

With a slightly shaky voice, she uttered my name. I could see from her eyes how shaken she was. Am I scaring her?

"I'm glad you still remember me. I haven't seen you since you graduated. How long was it? More than 2 years?"

I started walking towards her and at each step I made, she also started stepping back. This girl, how much did she change? Or is this the result of that guy's education?

"W-wait! Why are you getting closer?"

She eventually reached the wall and seeing she couldn't step back anymore, she threw that question to me.

"Eh? How can I properly greet you without getting closer?"

I smiled as I closed our distance. This girl. She's not that against me when she's still mine. But yeah, I wouldn't say I was at my best at that time. I was still being driven by my desire back then. Our memories of the same time might be different depending on our perspective.

"I don't need your greetings. Stay away."

Putting a hand in front of her to keep me away, Nao turned her gaze away from me.

"I'm sorry. I'm just happy that I got to see you again."

I stepped away from her to make her feel at ease.

Will I steal her again?

Of course. Not only for Shio but for me as well. I wouldn't steal her in the past if I didn't like her and it felt like we had unfinished business between each other. She graduated before anything more could happen between us and since I tend to switch targets after conquering someone back then, I never tried to look for her again.

"How can you say you're happy when you never contacted me again? I tried reaching out to you but you never replied."

Err… I guess that's really my fault. Her mails were probably buried among the countless mails I never opened and replied back.

"Right. I have no excuse for that."

"Really, you're unbelievable."

Nao pouted her lips as she moved away from the wall and sat at the sofa in the living room. Just by looking at how she sat comfortably, it seems like she's already used to being in this house.

"So, you and that man? He's your teacher, right?"

"Ruki, you're smarter than this."

"You're right. I don't need to ask. It's too obvious."

"So, that woman. Your new target?"

"It's obvious too, right? Anyway, Nao. I missed you."

Since she already relaxed herself on that sofa, I took the chance to sit next to her.

"You, I told you to stay away."

She instinctively avoided me by putting herself at the other end of the sofa.

"Why? We used to be much closer."

I followed her and since she's already at the end, she couldn't get away anymore. Being close to her like this again, even after 2 years, I'm starting to remember our time together.

"You're still this forceful, Ruki."

She commented as she tried pushing me away.

"I told you why, I missed you. Don't you miss me too?"

"I already tried to forget you."

She said as she turned her gaze away, refusing to make eye contact with me.

"Tried, so you failed at that."

I smirked as I circled my arm over her shoulders.

"Ugh. What do you want from me?"

She asked as she tried to take my arms off her shoulders. The way she tried to struggle now, how could I describe this? Though she's acting this way, I couldn't sense a strong rejection from her

"Isn't it obvious? I want you back, Nao."

I said as I turned her head back to me using my hand.

"What? So you can ignore me again?"

Since she couldn't take away her gaze now, she glared at me as she threw this question.

"When did I ignore you? Didn't I always come to you back then?"

Since that's my first year, I don't have a lot of girls who I managed to steal yet. That's why I'm mostly spending my time with her.

"But you never come when I'm calling you. You're always busy with someone else."

Ah. So this is why? I remembered that she always timed her calls when I was busy with another girl.

Now that I had the chance to think about it again, she's probably doing that intentionally. To get my attention.

"Err… you know how it is."

"See. Even now, you have that woman."

If I'm not wrong, this girl, she still has an inclination towards me. Then this will be easy. Stealing her from that guy. She's originally mine anyway.

"And you have that man. Anyway, do you really want this? Don't you know that his wife is also his former student?"

Telling her what I found out, I'll try to confuse her first. Since it's already 2 years and at how long that guy was nurturing her, she's probably also in love with him. Now that I appeared before her again, she also started to remember our time.

"Huh? Is that true?"

I see. So she doesn't know. He's probably hiding it from her.

"Why would I lie? And that new hairstyle of yours, that's her hairstyle when she's at the same age as you. And you know, I still prefer your hairstyle back then."

"… I don't believe you."

Her hand reached towards her hair, specifically, the cloth ribbon.

"I have proof. Do you want to see it?"

"Tell me, are you not doing this because you want to take advantage of me?"

How suspicious can this girl be? Ah. I guess it's normal to be suspicious after I tell her how I want her back.

"You can tie my hand if that will ease your mind"

"As if tying your hand can restrain you."

She clicked her tongue at my suggestion.

"You know me well."

I smirked and stood up while I put my hand in front for her to take.

"Of course, I know how shameless you are. Ugh. Where is it? Show me."

Grabbing my hand as a support, Nao stood up and followed me towards Shio's hobby room.

"Tell me, did you really not miss me?"

"Stop repeating your questions. Show me that proof first."

So, is that a yes?

I already made progress here downstairs, I wonder what's happening there? I'll go and check after showing this girl their old pictures. I'm still worried about Shio.

Chapter 145: Confrontation (2)

Opening the unlocked hobby room of Shio, I urged Nao to enter it with me.

"How do you even know this room? I've already been to this house a lot of times and I've never been inside here."

Nao commented as she entered the room and saw the state it's in.

"Because this is Shio's, err, his wife's hobby room. Only she have access here."

I noticed what she said about being here a lot of times already. So, it's not only that one time where Shio caught them. He's already bringing her here regularly without Shio being aware of it.

"I see. So where's the proof?"

She also didn't comment about the room full of otaku materials. She's also like this in my memory, she even defended the anime otaku girl in her class before. Even if she's somehow rough with her words, she's kind, maybe a bit too kind. And that's how I took advantage of her before.

I led her to the table where Shio's yearbook was left open. I turned it back to the first page before showing it to her.

"Finally see the resemblance?"

I asked her when she seemingly froze at her spot after reading that message which Shio wrote and the picture below.

"… That bastard!"

Nao whispered while gritting her teeth. I could see her shoulders were slightly trembling and her fingernails were about to dig into her palms.

"Hey, careful."

I took her hands to stop her from hurting her palms. Her fingernails were a bit long after all.

But yeah, this reaction. This is something I want to see. That guy, while he's busy explaining to Shio who will leave with me later, I've already damaged his image in Nao's mind.

"I didn't mean to have you hurt yourself when I showed this to you. I'm just concerned that you're just being used."

I drew near her and embrace her, this time she's not pushing me away anymore, instead she started hitting my chest as tears started to flow from her eyes.

"What do you know? After not looking for me all these years, now you'll suddenly appear before me and immediately destroy what I currently have. Why are you this cruel to me, Ruki?"

"Maybe I am cruel, but you know how I was back then. If there's someone who knew how I really was back during my 1st year, it's you. I'm sorry for not looking for you, Nao."

If not for seeing her here, I might really not remember her. Maybe there are others like her who I simply forgot after losing contact with them, I didn't even have a chance to cut them off like how I did with Haruko and the others.

.

"It's too late for your sorry, you moron. Just stand there and let me hit you."

"If that will calm you down then alright."

She didn't say anything else after that. Apart from her hits which just simply stopped, she didn't look up at me again and just used my shoulders to wipe her tears away.

"You're doing this for that woman, right? Saying you want me back but in truth you only wanted to get back at her husband who hurt her."

Ah. Did she figure it out already? Well, she's only half right.

"At first, yes. I really planned to punish him by stealing his new girl. However, seeing that you're his new girl, I'm not only doing this for her anymore."

But yeah, if it's any other girl, I might do the same trick if she showed up looking like this. However that girl will obviously be wary of me and will not talk to me easily like Nao.

"You still have your way with words. Tsk."

Clicking her tongue, she then pushed me away to get out of my embrace.

"I'm just being honest with you, Nao. In the end, it's still your decision, right?"

I might still want to steal her but for her to cry like that, she's already in love with Shio's husband.

"Huh? Since when did you learn to say that? Giving me the choice to decide."

The Ruki in her memory was the guy who was only driven by his desire. I might've spent the most time with her during that year but I never gave her a choice.

"Well, a lot happened and changed within me, I wouldn't say I'm already a different person. As you can see, I'm still trying to steal someone."

"That trait of yours will never change. I'll go and talk to Nobuo, what about you?"

"I'll also go and see Shio's state."

"Can we act like we don't know each other?"

"If that's what you want, but Nao, I'm serious about wanting you back."

"Let's talk about that again when you finally responded to my mails."

"… Alright, I'll dig through the mountain of mails I didn't read to find yours."

"This moron. I'll be going first."

Leaving those words, Nao went out of the hobby room but before she did, she looked back at me one more time before continuing on.

It's been 2 years, how long will I need to find her last mails? There's a filtering function but I never saved their names in my phone so I have to check those mails from 2 years ago one by one.

Err… let's check it later. At least she didn't cut off our way to reconnect with each other. That guy will also have no idea about my connection to Nao.

After closing Shio's yearbook, I also went out and made my way upstairs. I saw Nao standing by the door of one of the rooms and suppressed shouts coming out from inside.

They're still arguing, eh?

"Won't you open it?"

I asked Nao when I also reached the door.

"He will be mad at me."

She answered with worry on her face. Did she really want to stay with that guy? Haa. I don't care if she will be mad at me but I won't let her stay here today.

"I see. Then let me do it. Stand back for now."

With a complicated expression on her face, Nao nodded at me and took a step back like I said.

"I loved you, Nobuo but what did you do to me? Do you think I will just endure because of my love for you? I'm done. I'm leaving this house!"

When I opened the door, the married couple were at the opposite sides of the bed. With her shouting like that, I could see Shio's a bit disheveled appearance and the tears that still runs in her eyes.

I don't know what they're talking about until now but I guess that didn't go well and now they're at this state.

"Aren't you the one who entrapped me? Who pulled me into this marriage, huh?"

Her husband answered pushing the blame of their marriage to her.

What he's saying might not be false though. Knowing how lovestruck Shio is with him.

"Didn't you accept it with a smile when I brought you to meet my parents?"

Now with a lower voice, Shio asked him. For her, that memory was precious but it might not be the same for that guy.

"Look at this woman. If you're in my shoes, do you think you will have the right to refuse? F*ck!"

Ending his words with a curse. He almost shouted his lungs out.

Judging by Shio's reaction upon hearing his words, this might be the first time he blurted those words out. In her mind, she probably thought their marriage was perfect from the start.

"Shio…"

I went next to her and supported her. From his words just now, Shio's knees was about to give up.

"Who the hell told you to come up? Get out!"

He shouted when he saw me holding her up.

"I'm not talking to you so shut up."

This is not the time to entertain that guy, Shio's my priority for coming here. For her to hear those words from him, she will surely be devastated by it.

"Ruru…"

She called out to me when she felt my arms supporting her.

"Isn't this enough? You heard what he said."

I tried to stand her up as she held onto my arms.

"I…"

She couldn't finish what she wanted to say. Tears kept flooding her eyes after all. All her love for him, the perfect marriage that was what she believed was suddenly shattered because of his words.

He was forced to accept.

"Let's talk about it later. I'll get you out of here first."

"Hey. Don't f*cking ignore me!"

Her husband couldn't endure it anymore. He shouted once again and was about to come to our side.

"Will you shut up? Isn't this what you want? I'll be taking Shio away from this house."

I glared at him while saying those words to him. This is what he planned for bringing Nao here, so what's up with his attitude now?

"She's my wife. What right do you have?"

Yes, you are. But she's mine now. After the words blurted out, this guy is really something.

"Then is it fine to call the Ministry? I'm sure they'll be happy to remove a pedophile's license for teaching."

Taking out my phone, I acted like I'm dialing a number. Well, it's a bluff but I wouldn't hesitate to do that if he will still insist. I can't let Shio stay here any longer or she will really break. Hearing those words from him was enough.

"Huh?! As if you can do that! Shiori will be implicated!"

"Why? She hasn't done the same thing as you. I'm just her student helping her with her problems."

It's easy to play innocent and compared to him. If they dug out his records, they'll find out that his wife was his previous student and using that, him being a pedophile who lays his hand on his students will be strengthened.

"You…"

Though fuming with anger, he still probably has some rationality so when he thought of what I said, he couldn't talk back anymore.

"What? Speechless? Stay there if you still want to teach. And also, you shouldn't lie to the girl like that. Until when will you keep the secret that you married your own student?"

Pouring in more oil to the fire that's currently burning him, he immediately looked at Nao who was outside, watching the current spectacle.

"… Shut up and leave!"

See. Now he's the one asking us to leave. 𝚗𝑂𝑽𝑬𝐥𝐔𝓈𝑏.𝕔𝑂𝔪

"Ruru. It's enough. Let's go."

Shio also stopped me. She already somewhat recovered. She went through her cabinets and packed up some clothes.

Her husband stood frozen there. I don't know what's in his mind right now but surely, he's already thinking of what he will do from now on. He wouldn't be able to stop Shio now, all the rage that he felt, it probably already cooled down but he already said the things that Shio shouldn't hear.

Maybe in his mind, even if he now have Nao, he still wanted to keep Shio, who's madly in love with him, at his side. That's why he never told her that the marriage was just forced onto him.

"We can't leave her with him, Shio. Can we also bring her out?"

After packing her things, I pointed at Nao. She just watched everything that happened. It won't sit well with me if I leave her with that guy.

"Her?"

"Un. I'll tell you later."

There's no time to tell her my connection to Nao.

"Alright."

She looked me in the eye and after a while, she nodded. I don't know if she hated Nao, she's her husband's new girl after all.

"Nao. Let's go. You can't stay here."

I called out to her. Though she looked back at me, she's still reluctant to leave that guy alone.

"But Nobuo…"

"You saw his state. You can talk to him tomorrow if you want. For now, I won't let you stay here."

There's a possibility that he might vent the rage he's feeling to her so…

There's always tomorrow. If he cooled his head, he'll still go to school and teach. Well, there's also a possibility that he will go to Shio. I'll think about what we will do tomorrow when we reached home.

"Nao? Where are you going? Stay here. Don't you dare leave me as well!"

Coming into his senses, he shouted when he saw me urging Nao to leave with us.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up?"

Sending him another glare. But I knew that it wouldn't be enough this time.

"You... It's all because of you…"

He stood up and I saw him cupping his hands into a fist.

He finally pieced it together, the events escalated because of me. From that scene at the door, to Shio standing up to him and what had just happened. Now, I'm even taking away Nao who he brought here. Though he didn't know what's my connection to her, that didn't matter as his rage was now directed at me.

He's clearly an amateur, so even if he raged earlier I never lifted a hand on him. Err… I twisted his arm and slapped his hand away. But he seemingly forget that now.

"Shio, I'm sorry but I need to hit him just once."

Not waiting for her answer, I pushed her to my back before walking towards him. Easily dodging his fist, I sent him an unrestrained punch to his abdomen.

A crisp sound rang out as he immediately kneeled in front of me, clutching his abdomen.

Leaving him in that state, I grabbed both Shio and Nao's arms and led both of them out of the house.

Chapter 146: Bringing the Two at Home

"Shio, we can stop somewhere if it's hard for you to drive."

"No. I'm fine, your house is already near. I'll take a rest when we arrive."

Since she's the only one with a license and could drive, we could only leave the place when she calmed down.

"Alright. Remember, I'm just here beside you, Shio."

I put my hand over her hand that was resting on the gearshift.

She looked at it for a bit and nodded.

What happened tonight is something that she needs to think about by herself but if she ever needs someone, I'll always be there for her.

Besides, I'm bringing her home with me. I already told Akane about the change in the situation and asked her to prepare a room for Shio for the time being.

"Why am I dragged here by you? He needs me, Ruki."

Suddenly, Nao, who was on the backseat, called out to me.

"You can hate me for this, Nao. With the state he's in, I don't want to leave you there."

As if I could leave her there. She can hate me for what I did but I will never leave her to someone as unstable as that. This might just be me being selfish but I don't care.

"...I'm not yours anymore. You can't decide for me like this."

Though the volume is low, Nao still voiced it out.

She's right. She's not mine anymore. Though we had a past, it's me who cut that off.

"That's why I told you, hate me for doing this but my mind won't change. You know me."

I repeated my words to her and this time, I looked her in the eye while doing that.

"Ugh. Where are you taking us?"

Nao turned her head away to escape my eyes. She knew me very well, but only the me during my 1st year in middle school. For now, she might be upset that I took her away from that house but I already decided to get her back and leave that guy empty-handed.

"Eh? I only thought of sending you home."

I only told Akane about Shio. Should I call again to prepare another room?

"I already said I'm staying outside. They won't expect me home."

Ah. Right. That guy brought him there, they've already slept together. Not just once.

"I see. Nao. Did you already do it with him?"

For the peace of my own mind, I asked her.

It doesn't really matter if she already did it with him. In the first place, Shio's also like that but I'm going to steal them both from him.

And also, I'm the one who let go of Nao back then and failed to remember that there's that girl during my 1st year who I really like, seeing her again is simply a stroke of luck.

"Don't you think it's rude to ask that?"

Her voice carried a hint of irritation at my question.

"You're right. Don't answer if that made you uncomfortable."

I was being insensitive again. Nothing will change even if I knew it anyway.

I'm going to steal her back from him, even if we're not from the same school and I don't know when to see her. There's a lot of ways, I just need to utilize everything.

"… No. Everything but that. I wanted him to wait until we're not teacher and student anymore."

After a few minutes in silence, Nao silently whispered her answer to my question.

"I see."

I couldn't help but smile after hearing that.

Even Shio who was silently listening to us while driving had a reaction from hearing it.

I still haven't told her about my connection with Nao but she could already guess it.

"Are you relieved?"

Nao suddenly asked. I don't know if she saw me smiling from the rearview mirror but we locked gazes through that.

"I am. When he approached you, did you know he's already married?"

Of course, I'm relieved. We could still continue from when she's still mine.

"… Yes. His attentiveness reminded me of you.

So he's also attentive. Maybe that's also one of the traits Shio likes in him. But her saying that he reminded her of me. This girl, she's really waiting for me back then but yeah, I never showed up again.

"Then?"

"I don't know, Ruki. It's already more than a year, he always spent time with me that's why I…

"You already love him?"

I get it, without any word from me, she's bound to move on. This is also what was supposed to happen to the girls I cut off. If I continued without any changes, even that group Akane created would have crumbled.

"Honestly, I don't know. For you to suddenly show up before me again. It made me remember those times with you..."

"I see. Nao, I'm serious about what I told you earlier. You can hate me for taking you away from there but I won't stop at getting you back."

"I already told you earlier what you have to do."

Remembering that, a smile surfaced on my lips again. Replying to her 2 years old mail. That meant she's not against my plan to take her back.

"Ah. Nao, can I hug you?"

I teasingly asked her while I acted like I'm going over from the passenger seat to the backseat.

"Look at this guy. Stay there, you moron."

Nao backed away as she used her feet in a bid to kick me back to my seat.

"Ruru, behave in my car."

Seeing what's happening, Shio finally decided to break her silence to scold me.

With the two of them ganging up like this, I settled back into my seat.

Ah. I guess lightening up the mood worked. There's like a restrained atmosphere earlier, after my stunt, it got cleared up.

10 minutes passed and we finally arrived at my neighborhood. It's almost 8 pm, the plan to stay there until 10 pm was ruined because of her husband.

Err. I expected them to come but I didn't expect that it would lead to this, bringing home the two women in his life.

I had Shio park the car at the same spot when she first visited.

I took her luggage full of her hastily packed up clothes before taking them both to the door.

"You never brought me here before, Ruki."

Nao commented as she took in the sight of my house. 𝗇𝓞𝑽𝐄𝑙𝓊𝔰𝔅.𝑪𝑜𝓂

I only started bringing girls home during 2nd year so…

"You graduated early and you know the rest."

"...You never looked for me after it."

She'll never forget it. So I need to patch up and fill the void that she felt from that in the future.

"Right. I'll make up for that if you can give me the chance to do so in the future."

Opening the door, we were greeted by Akane. I already mentioned to her about Nao so she led the two to the dining room while I brought in Shio's things upstairs.

Before going down, I ran into Akane who also went up to see me.

"What happened there? Shiori looks like she cried a lot."

Ah. I thought she'd ask me about the 2 girls but I guess, she already outgrew that thought. She really did it for me.

"We confronted her husband. Uhm… And Nao there is the new girl of her husband. You knew her, right?"

"The senior who's always with you during our 1st year."

She really knew every girl who had a connection with me back in middle school.

"As I thought. Thank you, Akane, for understanding."

I pulled her into a hug. She happily accepted it as she asked me for a kiss.

"You don't have to thank me, husband. I want to ease your mind, not to become an added weight to it."

I smiled at her answer and kissed her once more. This silly girl's effort on changing herself for me, I won't forget it.

I conveyed to her through this kiss how I'm really grateful to her. When we separated, Akane smiled sweetly as she whispered her I love you to me before pulling me back down with her.

When we arrived at the dining room, Miwa-nee already prepared our dinner, they also hadn't taken it before I called earlier that's why Akane decided to just wait for us to arrive so we could eat together.

The dinner was taken in silence since Shio was still looking down while Nao was somehow restless at the new environment.

Akane made us tea after the dinner while Miwa-nee took Minoru upstairs to put him to sleep. She told Shio that she'll be back when Minoru fell asleep.

Miwa-nee as an adult is the better person to talk to Shio right now. I might've said I'll be here by her side but without someone like Miwa-nee, I'm not enough to let her pour out whatever it is she's been bottling up since leaving that house.

That leaves the four of us in the dining room.

"Nao-senpai, do you want to take a bath first? The tub is warmed up."

Akane, noticing the silent and restless Nao, talked to her and offered the first dip in the tub.

"Can I?"

Nao turned to me since I'm the only one she's really comfortable to be with.

"Of course, go and cool yourself down, we'll bring a change of clothes and also prepare a room for you."

I took her hand and squeezed it to calm her down.

"Husband, let me handle Nao-senpai, stay with Shiori."

Akane said before she pulled Nao from her seat. She's really considerate now. That girl. Though this is what I wanted, I couldn't help but feel that I'm doing her wrong.

But maybe it's just me not being used to the change in her. I always see her openly showing her reluctance and jealousy whenever I bring a girl home but after our date, she finally let go of those as she devoted herself to ease my mind.

"That silly girl of yours changed as well, really, what kind of magic do you have, Ruru?"

Shio commented when the two went out of our sight. Though she's still feeling down, she couldn't hide her amazement at Akane's change. She remembered last week when she first visited, that girl was waiting at the front door.

"Do I look like a magician? There's nothing really. I guess it's called growing up. Our situation is unique so we have to adjust ourselves to it."

Right. This is us growing up. Akane and Haruko could be said to have already adjusted to our situation. Yae is also on its way. This unique situation with me as the center.

"And you also want me to be part of that unique situation."

Shio silently said. After what happened, I wonder what's on her mind right now? What are her plans? Though at first she already decided to leave the house with me, however, when the situation escalated up to that point that her husband revealed his true thoughts about their marriage, Shio was most possibly shaken by it. Her high school romance which ended in a happy marriage, was shattered by those revelations.

For now, my plan of taking her to bed with me was shelved. I wanted to ease her mind first, this woman will surely push herself to go to school tomorrow. I'll have to advise her against that.

"I really like Shio after all, even if it might be hard to replace that guy, I'll make you fall for me"

"This student… can you hug me?"

Though faint, I saw her smiling slightly from my words.

"You don't need to ask, I'm already planning to hug you tonight."

I stood up and went behind her who was still sitting. Hugging her from behind like this, it's like I'm covering her from whatever it is that's weighing on her back.

"Then, also don't leave my side. Even if just until I fell asleep."

Shio rested her head on my arms as she silently whispered those words. It's already on my plan and Akane will surely understand after telling her what went on at Shio's house.

"Un. I won't leave your side so whatever you're feeling right now, you can release them now. I can be your wall again."

"I told you, I don't need a wall. It's hard and uncomfortable."

She then turned her face to mine which was resting on her shoulder. Cupping my face with her hands, she kissed my lips tenderly.

I responded to her kiss. This is her way to calm down so I let her lead me on. From just simple kissing to using our tongues. Shio put her full effort in a bid to forget whatever happened earlier.

"Uhm. Am I still needed here?"

Miwa-nee's voice pulled us out of the trance. I already noticed her since earlier but I also got pulled by Shio's pace so…

Hearing her voice, Shio pulled away from me as she embarrassedly looked down.

Err… I guess I'll leave it to the two adults to talk. Shio needed that and maybe Miwa-nee too.

Chapter 147: Settling In

When Miwa-nee arrived and we separated from each other, I put myself next to Shio while the two talked to each other.

With Miwa-nee silently listening to her while commenting at times, Shio finally released whatever she was bottling up. For the rest of their talk, Shio cried her heart out with me supporting her at the side.

Shio soon fell asleep on the table after all that crying.

Miwa-nee signalled to me to bring Shio up and let her take proper rest.

"Ruki, take Shiori and let her take a rest. Also, advise her not to go to work tomorrow, we'll accompany her here to take her mind off her current problem."

"Thank you, Miwa-nee, for helping with Shio."

I sincerely thank her. I never got a chance to be alone with her again but I guess, we more or less understood each other better now.

"You're properly taking care of us but Ruki, learn to take a rest, okay?"

Ah. Even Miwa-nee is reminding me to take a rest. I guess in their eyes I'm already overworking myself.

"I am taking a rest, Miwa-nee. Don't worry."

I smiled at her before I picked Shio up from her chair. Akane already prepared my old room for Shio to use, that's also where I put her luggage earlier.

Before we reached the stairs, I saw Akane coming down from upstairs with a set of clothes in her hand.

Err. I forgot to get Nao's change of clothes.

"I'll prepare Nao-senpai's room too, husband. Take care of Shiori."

Akane smiled when she passed by me. Without her and Miwa-nee's help tonight, I might've run around the house all by myself again.

After putting down Shio on my bed, her eyes opened and her hand reached for mine.

"You said you'll stay."

"I thought you're already asleep. Are you awake this whole time?"

Shio nodded before she turned her head away, embarrassed.

For her to act cutely like this. I guess her feelings finally settled down. However, that doesn't mean things were already settled. I'll be expecting her husband tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a piece of damning evidence which I could use to cow her husband. If he's smart, he'll not rage instantly but calmly weigh his choices.

I'm not afraid of him, not before, not now. if we ended up confronting each other again, it will be him who will lose if everything about what he's doing comes to light

"Then, I'll stay here with you. You should call the school too, Shio. Call in sick for a few days to rest here."

I put my hand on her head and started stroking her hair while watching over her.

"No. I still have to teach the class."

She shook her head in rejection to what I suggested. She mentioned earlier that teaching was her way of coping with problems but I don't think it will work with her current problem.

"Forget about it, even if only one day. Miwa-nee will be here to accompany you."

I sternly told her, if she still rejects then I'll stay here with her and also skip a day.

Hearing that, Shio stared at me for a minute before releasing a sigh.

"Seeing your eyes, you won't probably give in. Just like how you dragged that girl with us."

"Yes Shio, that's how it is. So…"

"I'll listen to you. One day. Is it fine?"

Err. Will one day be enough? I guess as long as she can take her mind off from any stressing things.

"Thank you."

I smiled and thanked her for giving in to my suggestion.

"I think I now get why the girls keep falling for you."

Shio whispered as she reached for my hand to stop it from stroking her hair.

"Well, they have various reasons while compared to them, my only reason was that I took a liking to them. That's enough for me to make a move."

"You're always this honest, this is what sets you different from him."

Err. I'm not similar to him. Not at all. Just by what he did, he has a preference, even asking Nao to change her hairstyle.

"He's too different from me, I won't ever let a girl I like to be turned into this state. Come, you should rest for now. I'll be here watching over you."

I pulled the blanket and covered her body with it. She hasn't changed from her outfit yet but I guess the bath can wait for her tomorrow.

"Please, hold me, Ruki. I still want to forget."

She pulled on my arm when I finished covering her with the blanket.

With pleading eyes like that, how can I reject her?

"Alright, if that's what my Shio wants."

I climbed on the bed and inside the blanket. Shio immediately clings onto me as she buried her face on my chest.

Because of how much she cried since this morning, it didn't take long for Shio to fall asleep. Maybe being comfortable with my arms also became a factor but seeing her comfortably sleeping in my arms, I couldn't help but smile and watch over her for a little longer.

When I went out of the room, I went downstairs and saw Nao and Akane chatting with each other in the living room.

"For you to have waited for years for that moron to come around, you're amazing Akane."

Ah. I'm their topic again.

"You're also the one who first stuck with him the longest, Nao-senpai. But when you graduated, it's like you were forgotten and I never heard about you again."

Akane's right. For most of my time during my 1st year, I'm mostly with Nao.

"Ask that moron. I was waiting for him but he didn't even reply to my mails. That's why in the end, I also kind of gave up waiting for him…"

Nao's voice trailed in the end as it contained some kind of regret and melancholy.

But I know that even if she waited, I wouldn't really remember. She would've waited in vain so her moving on was good for her. Just that, for her to end up with Shio's husband, I guess it's just a way for us to meet again? I don't know.

"What about now? You met each other again."

Akane. She's helping me again. She's sorting out what Nao is feeling for me.

"Shouldn't you be mad at what he's doing?"

Ah. Of course, looking at Akane, one wouldn't easily think that she's too accepting of our current situation.

"I've already accepted our situation. And living here with him and sleeping in the same bed as him, that's more than enough for me."

Akane answered with a satisfied smile.

"I see. You're really amazing Akane. I already gave up, you know? But the words he first said to me after seeing me again is 'Long time no see'. When I realized that he still recognized me, I felt a little happy. Happy that he hadn't completely forgotten about me."

Nao looked at her for a few seconds thinking she might just be joking but in the end, Akane maintained her smile and her answer about being satisfied in our situation. After that, she told Akane what's really on her mind that she couldn't tell me.

Err. I'm listening on the side so I heard her. I guess using that phrase made an effect.

"Nao-senpai. You clearly still like him. He already changed a lot so he's probably regretting the fact that he ignored your mails for him."

Even if I say it's already done and couldn't be changed anymore, I really felt a little regret when I heard Nao mention about her mails. There's a lot of ignored mails in there. I should start reading them, not only Nao's mails but also the other girls' mails who I ignored before.

"But I'm already in a relationship, Akane."

Nao answered her. Still considering her connection with Shio's husband.

Of course, our meeting won't just erase whatever it is that she experienced during the two years. For her, it might've looked like I abandoned her.

"Then isn't that more ideal? He will have to steal you once more."

I should really pamper Akane later.

"… That guy and his stealing habit."

Nao thought for a while before a smile surfaced on her lips.

"Husband! How long were you standing there?"

Akane exclaimed when she saw me appearing from where I was earlier.

"How much did you hear?!"

Nao also exclaimed her surprise. She immediately turned red probably thinking I heard everything she said about me.

"Enough? Anyway, Shio's already asleep so…"

I answered honestly and that earned me a hit from Nao. Akane was watching it in amusement. That girl. She knew I was eavesdropping so she asked those questions to her. She somehow had a radar whenever it concerned me.

"I'll prepare our bath, husband. Talk to Nao-senpai for the meantime."

While maintaining her teasing smile, Akane stood up and said that before going to the bathroom.

"Thank you Akane, I'll follow you soon."

I'm already thinking about how to pamper her. Err, she really helped me a lot tonight so that deserves a reward. Akane will always be happy whenever I make her feel more special.

"What are you looking at?"

Nao glared at me when she found me staring at her.

"You look good in that hair and clothes, Nao. As I thought, that really suits you better than his preference."

Akane and Nao have the same build, so she's wearing her clothes but yeah, Nao was more stacked than her which made the shirt look more strained than when Akane was wearing it.

Her hair was also devoid of the cloth ribbon that Shio's husband was so fond of.

"I just took it off since I'm going to sleep."

Nao made an excuse as she turned her gaze away from me.

"Keep it like this."

I said as I reached for her hair that was let down and not adorned with anything.

"You haven't replied yet. I won't talk to you until you do."

Nao pouted her lips before pulling her hair out of my hand.

"Really? Then I'll start digging it up."

I sat next to her and took out my phone, opening the mail, I started scrolling down to it. But yeah, there really should be a better filter option.

Five minutes immediately passed and her mails were still not unearthed. She started fidgeting at my side while looking at me earnestly trying to find it.

"Until when will you dig it up."

After a few more minutes, Nao couldn't help but comment at my side.

"It's buried deep so…"

"You're really a moron, Ruki. That's enough."

She reached in for my arm and stopped it from moving.

"No. I'll find it and read all of it."

I looked at her and smiled before taking her arm off me to continue scrolling down.

"Since you heard our conversation, just promise me you'll end everything properly. With Nobuo, I mean. Even if he's like that, he treated me properly and grant most of my wishes."

She reached in again and this time, she used her hands to turn my head towards her before saying those words.

Maybe seeing me diligently do what she asked even if it's somehow impossible made her rethink it.

Nao's words already contained her choice, she wanted me to end it properly and not leave it in that state where we just left the guy in that house.

"Even if he lied to you?"

She was furious when she found out that he was lying to her and he's been projecting the younger Shio on her but I guess, her feelings for him that was built upon the days they were together still prevailed.

"He probably has his reason. Other than that, everything he showed me is genuine. Uhm except for that time when he deliberately made us meet. I saw how his wife truly loves him that she even urged me to rethink my decision instead of getting angry at me."

That Shio. I guess she also found Nao's resemblance to herself during her high school days.

"Alright. If we can end things properly, I'll be taking you two from him."

End things properly. How will I do that? Blackmail him? Err. That's improper. I'll have him give up on both of them but I guess, it wouldn't really end in a proper way or it would escalate the problem.

"Don't forget about me again."

Nao looked me in the eye and whispered these words. It was filled with longing as well as her loneliness that she felt when I seemingly forgot about her.

"I won't and I will really find those mails, don't worry"

Taking her hand to mine, I answered her honestly. I'll make up for those lost times with her.

"Moron. I'll go up, see your wife now."

Nao stood up and tried to pry her hands away from me but I pulled her down and planted a kiss on her lips.

We never went past kisses before but kissing her again after so long, we got indulged with each other.

Whatever resistance she had earlier was now gone. She coiled her arms around my neck as our kisses grew deeper. Her brown eyes grew clearer as we continued staring at each other.

"I'm glad I got to see you again, Nao." 𝞰𝗈𝓥𝖊𝑙𝓊𝑠𝔟.𝒸𝓞𝓜

We eventually ran out of breath and broke our kiss for a while. Saying those words before continuing, I could see how she smiled from it. The two years that we were separated I'll fill that void up.

"Me too."

Nao answered while showing a satisfied smile before initiating another round of our kisses.

After a few minutes under that kind of situation, we separated from each other. Though we had just meet again, remembering the time when we were together reignited our feelings for each other.

We already conveyed the words through the kiss so after giving each other one last kiss for the night, Nao stood up from me and made her way up the stairs to go to her prepared room while I made my way to the bathroom where Akane was waiting.

Chapter 148: Another Day

After the bath, Akane and I also retired to our room. Before sleeping, I pampered her like I planned, not only to thank her but also to express what I'm feeling for her.

If I could think of a better reward then I would immediately grant it to her.

Afterwards, we got the chance to talk about what happened today on both of our ends. Our date last Saturday was known to everyone in their school, courtesy of the idiot guy who thought he could destroy Akane's reputation by spreading that. Most students in their school already knew about me and Akane living together so being on a date sounded more normal to them.

She then told me how she was approached by some of the girls in their group chat, asking her about when I will see them.

I told her that if they approach her again, tell them that I'll go to their school either this week or the next, that's when I will see them.

Seeing them one by one will just drain me again, so I will apologize to them if it will make them unhappy.

After she finished telling me what happened during the day to her, my turn came next. From the morning where I had to run around for Satsuki, the lunch break with Nami, how I dodged any and all questions of Shizu-senpai, Kana and the Itou sisters.

When I reached the point when I'm telling her the story about the Itou sisters, she giggled and took her phone to show me Itou's message to her. Just like I thought, she immediately told Akane about what happened. Akane responded wisely to her though and her words sound like she's trying to adjust Itou's mindset to be open to our situation.

And surprisingly, Itou was calmly responding to her but she's asking Akane how to get her sister to opt out in our complex relationship. Akane hasn't replied to that yet as she was waiting for me to answer it.

"I already like her sister, Akane. I can't give up on her."

Even if Itou or their father will be against it, I won't give up on Himeko.

"Then what about Maaya? "

With a smile on her lips, she also brought up Itou's name. Did she notice that I'm also quite interested in her?

"You think the only solution is to take her in as well?"

I haven't made plans for it yet but Akane bringing this up, she's probably set on helping me to achieve it.

"Un. And I could say, she's fairly interested in you too. Look at this."

Then she showed me their conversation before I brought Itou to meet Himeko.

She kept asking Akane things about me then she would make an excuse that she was just curious which Akane always accepted.

Not only she's helping me here at home, but she's also helping me to places I couldn't reach. This girl…

"We'll see. There might be more occurrences where I will be able to interact with her. Like the PE class on Friday."

We'll be having our PE Class with Fujii's class again. Right, I haven't seen Fujii's message yet. I'll look at it before we sleep.

"Work hard, husband!"

Akane encouraged me with a smile.

"Is this really fine with you, wife?"

Looking at Akane, she seems accepting of the idea and she's the one who brought this up.

"As long as it's someone you like as well. Besides I get along well with Maaya, I'll be able to teach her to accept our relationship."

Akane moved closer to me and buried herself back in my embrace before whispering these words, though there's no hint of sadness in it, I fear that she might be pushing herself to accept everything.

"Just don't overdo it, okay?"

I lifted her face to look at me and expressed my worry.

"I understand, husband."

She nodded before kissing me as assurance.

After that, we got to talk about what happened at Shio's house and the aftermath. Since it's kind of heavy for her and we don't really have a solution, we left it at that for now. Shio needed to clear her head up and decide what she wanted to do from now on.

Leaving the house is just a temporary solution and just like Nao said, we have to end it properly. One thing is for sure though, Shio and Nao, I won't give them back to him again.

Akane soon happily fell asleep in my arms. She once told me that my warmth was making her sleep very well. Even if we're too tired during the night, she'll wake up the next day refreshed.

I checked my phone first and saw Fujii's message, tomorrow after PE will be our first scheduled meetup. As to where we will spend the time together, she mentioned to leave it to her.

The two girls I brought home will be both mentally tired. Though I should also be tired like them, I guess I'm already used to it. Hugging Akane tighter, I also let myself succumb to sleep.

When the morning came, Akane woke me up since she couldn't get out of my embrace. Because of that, I also decided to get up together with her.

After how many days, we got to work in the kitchen together once again to prepare our breakfast. With two additional mouths to feed, Akane made it special to flaunt her housewife skills to her new competitors. If it concerned this kind of thing, a little competition wasn't that bad. I will be able to taste different flavors just like how they are different from each other.

Err. That sounds lewd in a way.

After we finished our exercise, Miwa-nee, Minoru and Nao were already downstairs. Nao asked me if she could also use the mini-gym.

To keep her figure, she's also regularly doing exercise. I remembered her love for sweets that each day she'll have at least three.

Akane went to prepare coffee for everyone while I went up to check on Shio after wiping my sweat from the exercise.

"Shio, are you awake?"

I saw Shio moving around the bed when I entered the room.

I went next to the bed and pulled the blanket that was draped over her face.

"You didn't knock."

Shio said when I successfully pulled the blanket off her. Her eyes were staring at me like a child being upset.

"Ah. This is my former room that not knocking already became a habit" 𝑵𝗈𝓋ℯ𝓁𝗎𝕊𝒷.𝐜𝑂𝑚

"I can tell. Your smell is in this bed, along with the various smells of women."

Eh? But I'm changing the bedsheet every time. Lingering scent?

"Sorry, we couldn't prepare a better room."

It's already a wonder that Akane managed to prepare one of the rooms for Nao.

"It's fine, Ruru. Your smell, it's making me calm down."

Shio said while she lifted the blanket again to sniff it.

"Then do you want to stay there? We already prepared breakfast."

Ignoring what she just did, I asked her with the reason I came here in this room.

"Stay here. With you."

Shio pulled on my hand as if asking me not to go away.

"Since when did my Shio become this cute?"

I guess this is her trying to cope with the changes.

"Don't call me cute..."

Shio pouted before pulling on my hand again.

"Well, you are acting like one. Let's go. You should make a call to the school too."

Instead of being pulled down with her, I lean on the bed to help her get up.

"Uhh. Won't you lie down with me for a minute?"

Shio refused to get up and looked up at me with her pleading eyes.

Err... That's kind of irresistible.

"Alright. It's rare seeing Ms. Miyazaki acting this cute. If the class knew about it, they'll surely be surprised."

Calling her Ms. Miyazaki again elicited another pout from her.

"Don't call me like that when we're alone."

She silently whispered her complaint. Though I already noticed it before, Shio really doesn't like it when I'm calling her like that, maybe it's reminding her that she's my teacher and that's restricting her so she told me to call her by the name she told me to call her when we're alone.

"I just wanted to tease you, Shio."

I said as I climbed up on the bed just like last night and lay down beside her.

"Ruki…"

Shio immediately hugged me as she called me without using the nickname she had given me.

"Hmm?"

"I still can't decide what to do."

Ah. She's already thinking about what to do next and seeing she couldn't decide, she wanted to hear my opinion.

"Don't worry about it. For today, free your mind from the problems."

I turned my body to face her and said it while staring at her eyes.

"Stay here with me?"

Shio sweetly asked while our gazes were locked onto each other's face.

"Ah. As much as I want to but I need to go to school."

I can't miss a school day, there's not only Shio after all.? Plus, studying well. Err, if it could help with our future then I'll diligently do it.

"Then come home early."

"Alright, I'll try to but you have to promise me, you won't think of the problem for today. Your husband or anything that happened yesterday. Clear your mind so that you could think better tomorrow."

"…I promise."

After deliberating for a while, Shio answered.

"Good. Then let's go, they're waiting downstairs."

After saying that. I kissed her lips before dragging her out of the bed.

I'll rely on Miwa-nee today to help Shio while I'm at school. Also, I need to think about what to do with Nao. I haven't asked her about her school yet and will it really be fine if I let her go today?

Ah. I guess I'll let her decide. That guy won't openly make a scene or his career will be over.

Chapter 149: Sakuma's Concession

"Nao-senpai, are you sure you'll be fine?"

Akane asked when we're at the station.

Since this is where we will part, Akane repeated her question.

Nao decided to go to school and possibly talk to Shio's husband if there's an opportunity, Akane and I advised her against it but she insisted, telling us that she'll be fine.

After last night, I could say that I already got her back but she wanted to end things properly. That guy was someone who was with her for more than a year.

Though calling the police on him sounds like the most logical choice, I don't want Shio to be implicated by it so I'll have him back off for now. If they decided to divorce and he gets a new high school girl for himself, that's when I'll ask for authority intervention. Police and the Ministry will be eager to put him down if proven guilty. He should really reflect and stop his modus of preying on high school girls after what happened yesterday.

"Yes. And if something did happen, I'll call this moron immediately."

Nao answered before tapping my shoulder.

Her school is also in the same direction as mine but hers is a lot further. Turns out her family moved to that area after she graduated middle school so she had no choice but to enroll at the nearest high school. If my school is called the Fourth High School, hers is the Third High School. They're affiliated, that's why Shio's husband transferred in it easily.

"I'll go pick her up if something really happened. But you better take care of yourself, it will be a long ride from my school to there."

I also assured Akane before reminding Nao.

Surprisingly, the two got along well since last night. Though Akane's motive was to help me with Nao, in the end, Nao treated her like a sister.

"Geez. You're both worrywarts. Let's go before the train departs."

She turned around and made her way to the platform on our side.

"Husband update me too, okay?"

Akane reminded me before we separated.

I nodded at her and kissed her.

It's already a regular occurrence so the eyes of those seeing it were already inconsequential.

During the train ride, Nao stuck next to me as she kept talking about what happened with her after she graduated and we lost contact.

I listened to her and also told her the changes that happened to me albeit summarized to the extreme but the idea was still there.

"You really won't ignore me anymore?"

Nao asked again before we reached my station, she's grabbing my hand like she doesn't want to let it go.

"You're also a worrywart, you know? I told you I've changed. I won't ever ignore you again, Nao. I stole you back from him so don't let him touch you again."

I'll break his arms if he ever dared touch Nao again. One blunder and two women in his life became mine.

Err. Even without that, I'm set at stealing Shio. Nao was someone I really didn't expect but I'm really glad it's her. I'm also thankful that she didn't hate me as much as I thought, she's just aggrieved that I ignored and seemingly forgot about her. If not for that, she wouldn't be entangled by that guy. That's my fault so I'll own up to it.

"Then assure me."

Nao whispered softly while she pulled on my arm.

"How?"

"You know. I went down last night to pee, I heard sounds from your room."

Her face was turning red as she probably started recalling what she heard. It's Akane's moans, right?

"Ah. Is that how can I assure you?"

If that's how it is, then I'll give it to her. She's mine again and that guy failed to get it before me. I'll be an idiot if I let her go again after the affection she showed me. This girl truly loves me that her more than 1 year with him was easily replaced once I appeared before her again. Well, maybe that ugly sight yesterday also became a factor.

"Don't make me say it, moron."

She pinched my sides as she turned her head sideways, embarrassed.

"My Nao became this adorable. Alright. I'll let you decide when so you can prepare."

I used my hand to make her look at me again. Seeing her blushing expression and her brown eyes that couldn't look straight at me, I took her lips into another kiss.

Though this is a public place with eyes all over, Nao didn't seem to mind it as she held onto my neck while raising her bag to cover us from prying eyes.

Only when the door opened and my time to get off arrived did we stop.

Err. There are a few students from our school who saw that. They don't know me and I don't know them so it doesn't matter.

"Un. Take care, Ruki."

Only when our lips separated did Nao give me an answer before she bashfully told me to take care.

Now, there's 2 of them lined up, first is Aya and today Nao was added.

Ah. There's also Nami if all goes well at taming the SC President and having Ogawa back off completely.

When I arrived in class, Aya was happily reading again. I joined her in that reading atmosphere to continue reading Kana's novel to pass the time.

I saw her smiling when she noticed me being absorbed at what I'm reading. This girl is truly adorable, for her to be happy about this simple thing. I guess she's thinking that I'm doing it for her, to make her comfortable. There's that idea but the real reason was I'm always out of time to read this.

Soon the class was filled up. I saw Satsuki's complexion wasn't as bad as yesterday so I gave her the juice I bought on the way. I kind of predicted that she might arrive in the same state as yesterday so…

It doesn't really matter if someone saw it. I also gave one to the idiot at my back and also to Aya.

"What's this Onoda? Is this the payment for our help later?"

Sakuma asked. He also went to his club practice so he's probably as drained as Satsuki.

The help he mentioned, it's for the cleaning of the clubroom as punishment for me. That's a valid excuse to secretly mask my concern for Satsuki.

Satsuki already messaged me that her seniors lighten up their practice a bit but I still couldn't help but worry. I really am a worrywart eh?

I already knew that Shio wouldn't be here so this 1st period will become a self-study period.

When the bell rang indicating the start of classes, another teacher came in to tell us about Shio calling in sick. Some were worried while most of the class were happy that they could slack off during the 1st period.

Satsuki used the time to take a nap while Aya was also a bit happy that she could continue reading.

Sakuma called out to me saying he has something to tell me outside.

Well, it's probably about Satsuki's sister and he doesn't want Satsuki to hear it.

"Onoda, you and Maemura."

He started when we reached the same vending machine we went to before.

"You're still on about that?"

I answered him as I picked my own drink. Well, I only bought juices for them earlier since I wasn't that thirsty.

"No. Although I'm kind of an idiot I could see how she looks at you. Are you concerned about me? Is that why you're restricting yourself to…"

Concerned about him? In the first place, I was already thinking of stealing Satsuki from him so I was never concerned about him. But yeah, that's how he saw it, eh?

"You're always watching her so you know. Haa. Maybe? I don't know."

I answered him with a sigh as I tried to act oblivious.

"You should stop restricting yourself, you know. Don't be like me."

Am I getting advice from this guy? Talk about irony. Now it will be harder to tell him about us, we have to change it to something like I stopped restricting myself after he talked to me.

"But what about you? You know you both asked for my help but for it to turn like this."

I slumped at the corner of the vending machine and he did the same next to me.

Since there's no class, it's fine to slack off like this.

"Don't worry. When you told me about her sister, I also started to think and remember those times I was living with them."

So you now changed your target to her sister? This guy. Though this is what I want, for him to concede like this.

"Sakuma, I know I told you to clear your head about who you truly like. Is that it? Your decision?"

I truly welcomed that but him suddenly conceding like this. What should I say? He's properly looking at Satsuki but not me, he noticed Satsuki's gazes at me but he didn't notice my gazes towards her. Well, I'm good at hiding those things so there's no wonder.

"I still don't know, Onoda. That's why I want to meet her sister again."

Sakuma looked up like he's seeing the image of Satsuki's sister up there.

"Dude. If you're telling me not to hold back on Maemura then I won't. But make sure you do it properly this time. If you really like her sister then tell her when you meet her."

This is what he wanted to hear from me, right?

"I will."

Sakuma smiled, his eyes filled with determination.

"What will you do about Maemura now? Didn't you tell her you have something to say this week?"

"You're right. I'll think of something."

With this, he won't confess to Satsuki anymore but what will he say? I like your sister so please give me her number? Considering it's Sakuma, that's highly unlikely.

"I'm sorry it turned like this, Sakuma."

Though he wouldn't know what my sorry contained, at least I properly apologized to him for everything that I did.

"From your words and Maemura's attitude last Sunday, I got a realization, if I'm just really projecting her sister on her, then I better stop."

Ah. So that's why. Even idiots can have a moment of enlightenment.

Err. Sorry for calling you an idiot again, Sakuma

"But what if it's really her that you truly like?"

So that he wouldn't see me as too accepting, I'll still try to push it like this. Like a good friend even if I'm not really good. 𝐍𝚘𝓋ℯ𝑙𝚞𝓈𝗯.𝐜𝑜𝐦

"Then I'll accept my loss. You're a better man than me."

Sakuma admitted, he even tapped my shoulder.

"I don't know, I'm not that great either."

I'm never great. If I could assess myself then I'm more of a bastard than a good guy. That's far from great.

"Right, you have those rumors about you.

Ah. So he heard those too. Alright, let's plant an idea in him so that even if he found out that those rumors were true, he could easily accept it.

"It's just rumors but to tell you the truth, I'm not really against it. If I truly like someone, then I'll make her mine. The number doesn't matter since I'm determined to take care of all of them."

This is my true honest feeling. And of course, if anybody hears me saying that, they'll call me all kinds of words.

"That's kind of sick, Onoda"

See? Sakuma's evaluation of it is sick.

"Well, that's how it is. I might earn the hatred of most people but if it's for them, I'll do anything."

Err. What do I get from telling him all of this? Right, so he won't bug me if he saw me with another girl other than Satsuki.

"You sounded like you're already in that state."

He looked at me as if he's trying to find out if I'm really in it or not.

"Don't think too much about it. Just make sure to clear up your feelings, Sakuma."

I shrugged and turned the topic back to him.

With this, Sakuma wouldn't be that much of a problem now, Satsuki can now completely fall for me. Ah. I suddenly missed teasing that tsundere. I'll visit her at her club later.

Chapter 150: The Only Way

The self-study period ended and the following periods passed by without any issue.

I kept my phone's vibration on for Nao's number just in case she messaged me. Seeing that there's nothing when the lunch break arrives, I went out to call her and check. I couldn't be too careless. A person's rage can be quite terrifying if left unchecked.

There was once a guy from middle school who's secretly in love with the girl I stole. One time, he caught us making out and rage immediately filled his mind.

Thinking he will still have a chance when the girl and her boyfriend break up in the future, he was waiting for his turn properly.

However, when he found out that the girl was making out with another guy, he raged and instantly lunged upon her. Yes. Not me, but to the girl. Calling her names and such.

Well, since I was with her, nothing really happened except his ass getting beaten by me.

However he didn't stop. Though he didn't tell her boyfriend about what he discovered, he started to use that as a leverage to have his way with her.

The girl immediately contacted me and I prevented another attempt from him.

But if you thought that he would stop, that only made him more desperate. In the end, the girl became too terrified of him that she had to move away. The guy dropped out of school and was put into juvie when he tried to assault another girl.

Well, the rage he felt twisted him that after the girl left, he looked for another to vent out his frustrations.

About the girl though, she at least contacted me when she left but considering how I was before, she was soon forgotten as well. Right. Just like with Nao.

So from that story, I became wary of any rage-filled person. If Shio's husband became consumed by his rage then I have to take Nao out of his reach.

After three dial tones, Nao picked up her phone.

"Ruki? I never thought I would receive a call from you. This just made my day even brighter.

Nao's cheerful voice rang out from the other side.

"Nothing happened, right?"

Well, if she's happy then that's good. I went straight to the point.

"He didn't come to school. The teachers said he called in sick."

Hearing my words, she also turned a bit serious.

Is he still at their house or is he looking for Shio? Maybe he's already here. We'll see.

"I see. After school, will you go home?"

I don't know if that guy knows her house but to be safe. I'll ask her.

"Which home are you referring to?"

Nao asked with a bit of a teasing tone.

"Your house, of course. Why? Do you wish to stay the night again?"

I answered her. It's fine to bring her home again due to the special circumstances.

"I'd love to but I'll go home for today. Ruki. Don't you dare forget me again."

"Stop worrying about that. I'll never forget my Nao again. I told you if something really happened immediately tell me, I'll come running."

"Un. Alright. You should eat your lunch now, I'm going to take mine as well."

After saying that, we ended the call.

My worry kind of eased up a little but I should also call back home. Dialing a landline will cost me but there's Shio so I called her through messenger.

Nothing happened there as well and from her voice, she somehow recovered already.

Releasing a sigh of relief, I went to the empty clubroom to see Nami again. It's already a regular schedule by now. Even with those rumors flying around, there's no reason to stop.

"Where's your lunch?"

Nami asked when she saw me arriving empty-handed.

"I don't have an appetite. Looking at you is enough to make me full."

"There you go with your tongue again, Ruu. Here, I'll share with you."

Nami took a piece of an egg roll from her lunchbox and brought it in front of my mouth using her chopsticks.

"I guess I'll take a bite, it's a waste to let this opportunity pass by."

I smiled at her before opening my mouth to eat what she's offering me.

"Do you think I'll be embarrassed with indirect kissing?"

She took another roll and ate it then she fed me another bite. I could see her joy whenever I eat what she's offering me.

"I didn't say anything. Did you cook this? It's the first time I saw you bring a lunchbox."

Right. She always eats cafeteria food but today she brought a lunchbox.

"No. This is made by Shizu-nee. We talked yesterday night and she said she will support me to keep my relationship with you."

That SC President can cook? Ah but that's not the focus right now, she will support us? Do I have to believe in it?

"I see. I haven't told you what we talked about yesterday."

"Don't worry, she already told me. She's trying to see if we're just acting and with the way you denied it, it somehow convinced her. But your relationship with Maemura…"

Ah. So she took it upon herself to relay what we talked about, did she tell everything truthfully? With her nature, she probably did, but the problem is still the proof of my cheating with Satsuki.

"As much as possible I don't want her to be implicated by this. What did she say about it?"

That girl is diligently practicing for their upcoming match, if this went out then she'll really be affected.

"I told her I'm aware."

Nami put down her chopsticks. Without being aware of it, we finished eating her lunch box while talking about a serious topic like this. This will probably look weird if seen by others. Like we're too casual about our topic. 𝓷𝑶𝗏𝓮𝒍𝑈𝓈𝑏.𝑪𝒐𝐌

"And?"

After drinking, she offered me a sip from her juice and well, since we're already past an indirect kiss, I took up her offer.

"She asked me if I'm alright with it."

After finishing the drink, Nami put away the lunchbox.

Seeing that there's a sauce left on the side of her lips, I took out my handkerchief to wipe it.

Nami smiled and blushed at what I did.

"I see. I put you in that situation..."

"I told her not to do anything."

Even if you told her not to do anything…

"...will she listen to you?"

"That. She's a bit unyielding."

Nami looked down seemingly helpless.

"Nami, take me to her."

I lifted her face up and said it to her.

But right at that moment, the door opened and Shizu-senpai entered the room.

Is she listening to us or she just predicted that we'll be here talking about this?

It's probably the latter. Though she always put on a strong front, she's not that clever. At least, according to my observation of her from yesterday.

"There's no need, Onoda-kun, I'm already here."

She started as she walked in after closing the door.

"I see. Shizu-senpai, can you tell me why?"

Since she's here then this is probably the best time to confront her before things escalate further.

"Why what? Is caring for Nami not enough?"

As I thought, that will be her defense.

"I get that, but she already said that it's alright with her, right?"

Nami held my hand, maybe as a show of her support. With this, I confirmed, she really didn't want our connection to end. I'm already there, just a little more and Ogawa can forget being her boyfriend.

"So, does that justify you being a cheater?"

As a normal person with a normal perspective, it will always be like this.

"No. But do you even know the whole story, Shizu-senpai?"

I'll have to find a way to break into her mind and accept our situation.

"I guess not. Tell me then."

She pondered for a while and of course, she couldn't find an answer.

"No, I can't. I don't trust you, senpai."

Let her feel that it's something that shouldn't be known. That for her to know, she has to make me trust her.

"I see. Too bad then. I'll keep meddling with you and if you don't stop, the gang will know."

I almost clicked my tongue in irritation but Nami held me back and stepped in front of me.

Right, I'm not fighting her alone, Nami is here with me.

"Shizu-nee! Please stop this! I'm not a kid that needs your supervision anymore!"

Hearing her shout like that, I squeezed her hand as a way to tell her to calm down.

"N-nanami. No. I'm doing this for you."

Ah. She's still on with that?

"For her? Or for yourself? Tell me, senpai. What is Nami to you? You don't listen to her and just do what you want. So is that you doing it for her?"

I circled my arms around Nami and pulled her into my embrace. While saying all that, I'm showing her how close we are and that no matter what she does, she won't be able to separate us.

"I…"

What I said struck a chord with her which made her unable to retort.

"Shizu-nee. I know I was helped by you many times before but this time, please let me decide for myself."

Nami after calming down her emotions released herself from my embrace and went in front of Shizu-senpai who's looking down at the floor.

"What's good with this cheating guy, Nanami?"

Hearing Nami's words, Shizu-senpai looked up and asked her again.

"You don't know because that's the only thing you see in him."

Right. All she could see right now is the fact that I'm cheating with someone else. That's what she couldn't accept for Nami.

"Then show me what he really is."

The volume of her voice lowered as if she's pleading Nami for it.

"Senpai, I can't show you. I still don't trust you.

I answered before Nami could open her mouth.

"Why do I need to gain your trust?"

Because as of right now, she's still untrustworthy. I couldn't let my secret be known to her if she's like this.

"You'll know why if I tell you but I won't."

"Ruu…"

Nami called out to me. I guess she's also trying to ask me to trust Shizu-senpai this time.

"I like you, Nami but Shizu-senpai, it's not about like or dislike. I just don't want to implicate the others if she goes out of control."

It's always about them. If it's only me, I don't care if my reputation go down the drains but knowing Shizu-senpai, she'll drag everyone with me.

"What? What are you two talking about?"

She probably picked up the word 'others' and that made her more confused.

"Shizu-nee, promise me, no promise us that you won't tell anyone. That's the only way."

Nami nodded at me and once again turned to Shizu-senpai. She understood what I'm getting at.

"What the hell is this situation? What did you really do to Nanami, Onoda?!"

Startled by Nami's change in attitude, she attributed it to me.

"Haa. Nami if I told you I want to take her in as well, what will you feel?"

I sighed before asking Nami. If there's one way for her to trust me, then it's this. Taking her in as my woman.

"Shizu-nee too? Do you like her?"

Though she knew I still kept on adding new ones, Shizu-senpai isn't someone on my target list.

"I adore the way she wanted to protect you. Though because of how antagonistic she is to me, I can't really say I like her but at the very least, I don't hate her. Aside from her overprotective nature towards you, I don't know anything about her."

Just like how Itou is too adorable for her sense of responsibility and her care towards Himeko, Shizu-senpai is the same. It's probably just her way to protect her but I guess, without knowing what's on her mind, I won't know what's really the true nature of her being overprotective towards Nami.

"I see. Then why do you want to take her in?"

Nami wanted me to clarify my reason for wanting Shizu-senpai.

"Because that's the only solution I can see right now for her to understand and to gain my trust. I'll treat her the same way so don't worry."

If I can make her fall for me, then I'll have her understand our not-so-normal complex relationships.

"Hey, what are you two talking about?"

Confused at what we're talking about, Shizu-senpai looked up at us.

"Shizu-nee, how about you become Ruu's woman as well?"

Nami, after pondering about what I said, eventually nodded and said those words to Shizu-senpai.

"Huh?!"

And with horror and confusion in her face, Shizu-senpai was about to break down from it.

Err… now, my problem is, how can I make her fall? Should I spend some time with her? Ah… there's always a way.

Chapter 151: Nami's Answer

"What the hell are you talking about? Are you crazy?!"

Shizu-senpai reflexively stepped back from us but that only made her tumble down.

"You wanted to know, right? I'm afraid that's the only way for him to trust you, Shizu-nee."

Nami went over her and helped her stand up. Since she started it, I'll watch for now. Taking Shizu-senpai as my woman. Though it sounds serious, it's meant to scare her.

"Why does it involve becoming his woman?"

Shizu-senpai took Nami's hand and stood up. Though she tumbled down from her surprise, she recovered immediately when Nami went to help her.

"You'll know when you become one."

Since Nami couldn't explain it properly, I need to step up and help her.

"Shizu-senpai, I really wanted to trust you. Won't you give me a chance?"

I asked her.

Shizu-senpai's head turned to me when she heard my voice.

"I don't understand your thought process Onoda-kun. And you even influenced Nanami. Why do I need to become your woman? Is that what you are? A playboy?"

Ah. She also recovered her clarity, it seems. However, this is the ideal scenario. I want her to question it.

"Like Nami said, unless you become my woman, you wouldn't get why even after showing Nami that picture, she still wanted to stay with me."

I explained to her.

Though in actuality, Nami is technically still not mine. We're still in our 'stolen time'. But Shizu-senpai was determined to break us up so we have no choice but to do this. For her to stop.

"Nanami, what did he do to you? Is he blackmailing you? Tell me. I'll do everything to kick him out of this school."

Shizu-senpai ignored me and turned to Nami instead. 𝐍𝚘𝓋ℯ𝑙𝚞𝓈𝗯.𝐜𝑜𝐦

"No, Shizu-nee. Ruu truly likes me, you should stop accusing him of things he didn't do. The only thing he did to me is…"

Nami trailed her voice as her gaze switched back to me.

"…making me fall in love with him."

Completing her sentence, Nami's face blushed as she shyly covered it with her hands.

This girl, is this her confessing to me?

Seeing that display of affection by Nami, Shizu-senpai was stumped. Just from her reaction, it's hard not to determine if Nami is telling the truth.

"Really, what kind of man is he? I still remember how you talked about Kazuo. Now, you're completely in love with this dubious guy."

Shizu-senpai put a hand on her forehead.

Because of his indecisiveness, I've already replaced him in her heart. No wonder she will stop talking about him.

"You'll know if you spend time with him, Shizu-nee. Because your impression of him is bad, you started thinking that everything he does is bad. That's called prejudice. You never even wanted to hear him out, right?"

Nami slowly explained to Shizu-senpai. Honestly, I'm amazed that she clearly understood what's really going on in Shizu-senpai's mind.

It's true, she's too prejudiced when it comes to me. I suddenly showed up as Nami's boyfriend. I talked back to her during that time and took Nami away without us getting into an understanding. Then two days later, she found me taking Satsuki out of school. Of course, she judged that I'm just a bastard that's taking advantage of Nami.

Though I really am one, she thought that I'm tricking Nami and that's why she wanted to break us apart. That's what led us here.

"I… You're right. I never wanted to hear his side. I just want him to leave your side. You really changed, Nanami and he's clearly the reason. I thought his influence is turning you bad so…"

Looking at her like this, her words were really full of concern towards Nami. She's really amazing in that regard. What made her want to protect Nami like that?

"Thank you Shizu-nee. Your promise to protect me from anything that will hurt me, you're already doing that for how many years already? But this time, Ruu is not hurting me. In fact, he's treating me as someone really special to him."

Nami held out her hand to me, asking me to come near them.

I nodded and took her hand and when I did, Nami pulled me in and hugged me in front of Shizu-senpai.

"I get it, Nanami. Let's say you're truly in love with him and he didn't trick you. But how can he explain his relationship towards that girl?"

Though she directed the question to Nami, Shizu-senpai was looking straight at me.

Nami looked up as if asking if we should tell her now but I shook my head as an answer.

If I tell her that I'm also in a relationship with Satsuki, everything we just explained will flip her view back to the opposite side. We need to prepare her mind first so she will accept it without adding more questions.

"Let me spend some time with you, Shizu-senpai. That way, we can reach an understanding between us."

Without Nami answering her question, I opened my mouth and told her what's on my mind. To spend some time with her. If she kept on her prejudiced view of me then we will really never understand each other.

"So, in the end, you still want me to become your woman? Are you still not content with Nanami and the other girl?"

Shizu-senpai scoffed at my words, thinking that's what I am aiming at for asking to spend some time with her.

"It's not that. I just wanted you to know who I really am. I will never hurt Nami, I can assure you of that. I'll never hurt someone I love."

Turning the like to love, I saw Nami smiling when she heard me saying that. We really just need to clear up my past for her to decide whether she wanted to stay with me or not.

After calming Shizu-senpai down where she won't meddle with us anymore, I'll immediately tell Nami about my past and take her as mine.

"…Nanami, what do you think?"

Shizu-senpai pondered over my answer and when she couldn't find the words to answer me back, she turned to Nami.

"Spend time with him Shizu-nee, he's not really bad like what you are thinking."

Nami answered her. For her, she probably also wants Shizu-senpai to understand our relationship and to not be against it.

"Then tell me one thing first and I'll agree to give him a chance by spending some time with him."

I see. She still wanted to know about Satsuki. I guess it's fine to tell her about it now.

"Alright. What do you want to know, Shizu-senpai? I promise I'll answer it truthfully."

Though I already know what she will ask, hearing me agreeing to it and promising I will answer truthfully will give a better effect.

"That basketball club girl, what's your real relationship with her?"

"The same as Nami, she's a girl I love."

Without hesitation, I gave her the answer she's probably waiting to hear.

"So that means, you're admitting you're two-timing them?"

No. Really, there's not only two but I guess this is enough for now. She'll truly break if she finds out that there's more than 10 of them already.

"I wouldn't call it two-timing but I guess that's what it looked like in the eyes of normal people. As you can see, Nami isn't against it. She knew that when I'm with her, she is my only focus."

"So, are you saying you're not normal?"

Of course, I'm not normal. Who would admit at two-timing in front of his girlfriend's older sister while his girlfriend is also beside him watching the interrogation?

"Yes. I'm not. However, my feelings towards Nami, it's all true."

If she's still not convinced by this, then I don't know what I will do with this girl…

"Alright. You answered me honestly. If I back out from what I said then I shouldn't be the president anymore. Spending time to know who you really are, I'll do it."

Shizu-senpai nodded and accepted the proposal of my spending time with her. At least she's true to her words. I'm getting more fond of her this way.

"Thank you Shizu-nee!"

Nami was overjoyed when Shizu-senpai finally accepted. She immediately went over and hugged her, like a little sister to her older sister.

"Thank you, senpai. I'm looking forward to spending time with you."

I honestly thanked her. Well, I'm already thinking of other ways if she still won't bend.

"Don't be too happy yet, I'll take you to the student council as my secretary. As you can see, I don't really have much time, so this spending time you're saying will be done there."

Ah. Student Council again. I remembered Haruko from it.

"No problem, as long as I can prove to you that I'm someone you can trust with Nami."

And maybe take her for me as well? I don't know. We'll see. As long as we're alone, I can slowly understand this overprotective girl.

"I'll expect you tomorrow. Skip your club and go to the Student Council Room."

I guess I'll excuse myself to the club for two days. Err, I'll drop by later to see their state at least.

"Yes, senpai."

I smiled at her but Shizu-senpai didn't have any reaction to it. I guess that's fair.

"One thing though. Earlier, Nami, you told me to become his woman. Are you serious about that? Me, sharing this guy with you?"

That won't be bad, to be honest. But yeah, those words were just used as a foundation for us to reach this point. I wouldn't mind it if she accepted though.

"Yes, Shizu-nee. I don't mind if you also fall for him."

Err… Nami. I thought you're just playing along with me.

"Really... Haa, I'll pretend I didn't hear that. I'll leave you two alone now and I promise I'll stop meddling, you can rest assured."

Shizu-senpai released a sigh and finally accepted our relationship.

"Shizu-senpai. Thank you."

"Ugh. Don't thank me yet, I'm going to evaluate you again after our agreement. For the meantime, if you hurt Nanami, you know who you will fight against."

Fighting her? I wouldn't be afraid of it but yeah, it won't happen.

"You can trust me on Nami, I really love this girl."

Shizu-senpai didn't respond again and just closed the door after leaving the room.

"Ruu…"

As soon as Shizu-senpai left, Nami called out to me.

I turned around and pulled her closer to me. Without exchanging any words, I embraced her and kissed her lips.

From how she called out to me, I already expected what she wanted to ask. I'll better show it to her first so that she will understand that I'm serious.

From just overlapping our lips together, I became bolder and sucked on her lower lips. After our previous kisses, Nami is starting to be experienced now, she also started sucking and soon, our tongue met each other and entangled themselves.

From where we are, I slowly moved us back to our chair. After putting her on my lap, we resumed our passionate kiss.

"Did I answer what you're about to ask?"

She's about to ask me if what I said about loving her is true. So there's that. I conveyed it to her through our kiss.

"... Yes. I love you, Ruu."

Nami visibly blushed before whispering those words to me, with the same amount of affection that I showed her.

"What about Ogawa?"

"Don't talk about him. He still thinks we're acting so…"

Ah. Maybe she still doesn't want to deal with him for now but there will come a time where we will tell him that the act became real without him knowing when.

"You're right, it's not the right time yet. Now that we've dealt with Shizu-senpai, will you hear me out?"

Nami nodded as she circled her arms around my neck. This lovely girl became more beautiful now that she admitted her true feelings for me.

Maybe I can expect the scary observer girl again. These past few days, her feelings were a bit jumbled that she was somehow not acting as herself. She stopped observing people as she became more concerned about her own state.

Telling her about my past until my present with her. Nami listened intently. She will sometimes ask me things that she couldn't understand or things she was curious about.

When I finished my story, the lunch break was already about to end. Nami now looked at me in a different light.

"I didn't think it was that bad but thank you for being honest with me, Ruu. Truthfully, you don't have any of the traces of what you were before. I fell in love with the you here, not the you of the past. Though you couldn't erase any of it, you already stopped doing those things, right?"

Nami gave me her honest evaluation of my past that I just told her. And from the way she said it, it didn't bother her that much as she's looking at the me right now and not the me of the past.

"Un. I started changing upon becoming a high schooler and honestly, I couldn't do it without your help. You and the other girls helped me to become like this now."

Starting with Kana, then that incident with Yae, Akane barging in my room, and then Satsuki which led me to the realization. Nami also helped me when I was a little lost after remembering this emotion, everything was really built up by them. Without their help, I'll still be that guy driven only by his desire.

"You told me to choose if I will stay or not. I don't need to answer that anymore. I've already chosen my answer even before this."

Nami took the initiative to kiss me this time and before the lunch break ended, we spent the remaining time making out in this empty clubroom.

Nami, she's mine now.

Chapter 152: Fulfilling the Agreement (1)

Another PE Class, however, this time I was exempted. Well, not really exempted but Fujii requested for me to accompany her.

Why does she have that power? It's from the day of the dodgeball where she was drained of her strength and fell unconscious when she was hit by me.

That discipline freak of a teacher gave her a chance to skip a PE Class. Ah. Not totally skipped but she was exempted from the Endurance training that our classes were being put into and instead she was tasked to clean the Gym Storehouse.

And through that, she requested the help of the guy who hit her that day. That's the message she sent me last night that she will use that exemption she got for us to have time.

After what happened in that empty clubroom, Nami and I separated on a good note. With the meddling of Shizu-senpai resolved, Nami wore a refreshing smile when we went back to the classroom which was immediately noticed by their group of friends.

They threw me side glances as if I put that smile on hers. And they didn't know that Ogawa's face turned dark upon seeing that.

Well, it's not as if he will do anything from that. I already made Nami mine and it was even recognized by her cousin that they all are scared of.

"You seem to be in a good mood."

Fujii commented upon seeing me. She's wearing our School's Gym Tracksuit, it's already near the transition of hot and cold weather so it doesn't matter for now whether we wore our Gym Clothes or Gym Tracksuit.

Though she's wearing that, it didn't look plain at her, added with glasses adorned face, Fujii was exuding a different kind of charm.

"Because something good happened. But now that you mentioned it, I shouldn't be in this good of a mood."

There's still the thing with Shio's husband so…

"If you're in a good mood, then show it. Your expression when you're smiling looks good on you."

Fujii shook her head before commenting on my expression.

"Alright, another thing put me in a good mood just now."

This girl changed as well and it shows.

"What is it?"

She tilted her head since she didn't get it. For me to be put in a good mood over other things when we're just talking to each other.

"You. You didn't base it on your knowledge. So I'm in a good mood that my words from before made an impact on you."

I went near her and put my hand over her head. She had grown. From the knowledge girl last week, she's now more normal today.

"Eh?"

She still didn't get it, so putting my hand on top of her head just put her in a more confused state.

"You stopped saying 'you read in a book' now. And that's refreshing."

There's almost no trace of the girl who relies on knowledge anymore.

"Ah! It's thanks to you. Even my friends noticed it. Thinking for myself, it's really great like you said."

She wore a cheerful smile as she thanked me. We were tasked with cleaning but this storage room isn't even that dirty. Just disorganized.

"I'm glad. Then soon you won't need this time where you can relax. You can choose to relax anytime now when you get tired of reading."

I went inside and started helping her on organizing the equipment here.

"Are you trying to be loyal to Kana-senpai?"

Fujii suddenly brought up Kana. What did this mean? We openly showed them our affection to each other. Did that affect her?

"Why do you say so?"

"Uhm you wanted to end this time with me. And here I am, looking forward to…"

Her voice trailed as her ears started to turn red. She's looking forward to this agreement we had. I see. This agreement of spending time together, with her teaching me some knowledge while she relaxes and will try to understand why I wanted to steal her. Which of the two is she looking forward to?

"I see. I was a bit insensitive this time. I just thought that since you already started thinking about yourself, there's no need for me anymore."

I thought of letting her keep thinking for herself so that she won't always base everything on her knowledge anymore but seeing that she's already doing it, will there still be a point? Ah. She couldn't directly say that she just wanted to spend some time with me.

"That's not true! I still tend to talk while basing my words to my knowledge. Just like when I asked you just now. You're her boyfriend now so it's common knowledge that you should be loyal to her."

Did she forget about Haruko? She was awake during that time and even asked me if Haruko is my sex slave. Now she thinks I'm not trying to be loyal to Kana.

"It's not like I'm cheating with her if I meet you like this, you know? I guess you really still based some things on your knowledge. Did you forget about the girl who visited the infirmary? She's mine and Kana is mine."

Hearing my words, Fujii pondered for a moment. She really forgot? Or it was put in the back of her mind.

"Eh? Uh. Right, there's that senpai. Then…"

"It might look unloyal based on your knowledge, but they're both mine. About what I said to you back then, I'm still going to do it. I'm going to make you mine as well, it might not be today but soon. I came to like you now so…"

There's still a looming problem which involves an adult in the form of Shio's husband. But this time is our agreement so I won't back away with this. Spending time with her is also a bit relaxing plus, I got exempted from the PE Class.

I could actually call the police or the Ministry for Shio's husband but I'm afraid of the implications that it might cause her. Solving it privately for him to leave them alone was what I will aim, for now.

"I see. From what I saw with you at the club, I thought you have changed yourself for Kana-senpai. But you're still the same."

Her breathing of a sigh of relief didn't escape my ears. This girl… she really wanted to spend time with me. By knowing that her worries were wrong she became relieved.

"Right. I still am the same guy who talked to you before, the one that tried to forcefully kiss you. Just that there are some changes to me now but it's not like it changed me completely."

There's no use telling her about the change. I'll just let her feel it when the time comes.

"…Is it weird that I'm relieved to hear that?"

Fujii whispered, seemingly embarrassed by her own thought.

"Not really, if that's what you felt then be honest with it."

She's probably confused why she's feeling this way.

"I thought you will now end our agreement after this so I'm relieved. You still think of me that way and I still wanted to understand why you want me.…"

After putting down a basket filled with balls on a corner, she turned around and faced me.

"Then Fujii, do you want to start your time to relax now?"

I turned to the door and slowly closed it.

"Uh. We're not done organizing these yet."

She turned her gaze away as she tried to pick up another basket to put in place.

"That can wait. Look at you, you're starting to sweat. Let's take a break and at the same time, take this time for your relaxing time in our agreement."

I stopped her and pulled her somewhere we can sit.

"If the teacher saw us, she will think we're slacking off."

She looked beyond the closed door, maybe afraid that someone would open it and see us not doing anything.

"Then let's put something in front of us so that we can immediately pick it up if someone will open the door."

Hearing my words, she perked up as if the idea I put out sounded exciting for her.

"I never knew one can also think like this."

Fujii commented.

"See. You wouldn't be able to read it in some books, right?"

After we prepared it, we went back sitting on a mat that was lying on the corner, using the wall as a backrest, I told her to copy me.

"Isn't this relaxing?"

I turned my head towards her and saw that her sweat didn't stop.

Err… she's wearing a tracksuit and by closing the door, the circulation of air was slowed down.

"Un. But, it's hot…"

She unconsciously went to the zipper of her tracksuit but when she realized I was looking at her, she stopped.

"Onoda. Is this the reason why you closed the door?"

"If I say it's a coincidence, will you believe me?"

"I don't know but…"

She continued pulling down the zipper of her tracksuit and eventually took it off, what appeared underneath it was a tight white T-shirt that was already sticking to her body because of her sweat.

Due to that, the outline of her bra was clearly seen by me.

"Is it fine for you to take that off? I can see, you know?"

She might shout shameless again, but surprisingly there are no words that came out of her mouth.

I looked at her and saw her also staring at me. This girl… is she trying to seduce me? Where did she learn this? Or is this her real thoughts? Without basing on any knowledge she had, she wanted me to look at her.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take this as you intentionally letting me see it."

Due to her sweat, even her quickening breath could be clearly seen as her mounds started to move up and down. I could actually reach for it but knowing this girl, she might hate it.

"I'm trying to understand. What is it that you want from me? Is it just my body?"

I see. As I thought.

"I will be lying if I deny not wanting to take you in my arms right now. But Fujii, wanting you doesn't always mean I only want your body. Maybe before it's like that but not anymore."

This girl who used to rely on her own knowledge, she's trying to learn now through her thinking.

"What do you mean?"

Puzzled, she tilted her head at me.

"It's hard to explain so let's just say, I like you. I'm going to steal you because I like you."

And I know, this wouldn't have an effect on her. She doesn't understand that concept.

"I don't understand."

See? When she asked me if I liked Haruko back then, it was just her basing it on her knowledge but she had no experience about it.

"Of course, you won't. You never experienced it, right? Liking or loving someone else."

"Yes. I don't know that concept. One can make a family even without that."

Fujii nodded her head before she spouted out another knowledge.

It's not that she doesn't know it. She just doesn't recognize it. Is she the same as me from before?

No, she's different. I clearly couldn't remember that emotion, but for her, she never felt it or she never acknowledged it.

"There you go with your knowledge again. Then what do you think of me? Why do you want to spend time with me? That you even feel relieved after knowing that I also wanted to continue this?"

"I'm curious about you, Onoda."

Curious is an understatement. This girl, she's like a kid trying to know everything about her favorite animal. In the end, she's trying to gain knowledge through this.

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

Without a second thought, Fujii nodded.

"Are you sure your curiosity isn't you being interested in me?"

What should I really do about this girl? Let her feel something through a kiss? But will she even acknowledge it?

"I don't know. I've never been this curious about someone else."

She shook her head and started thinking again, in the end, she still determined that this is her being curious about me.

"You told me you want your first kiss to happen at your wedding. What will you do if I kiss you right now?"

"I… I'm curious, will you show me?"

Her answer changed. Now she didn't even bring up her wedding in the future even if I mentioned it.

"Fujii, back then you're clearly rejecting me."

Looking at this glasses girl, even with fog covering up her glasses, her eyes were intently looking at me.

"I want to know. You made me start to think about myself so a kiss is fine, I guess?"

Now a kiss isn't that important for her anymore. Did I really do the right thing? Letting her start thinking about her actions?

"Then Fujii."

"Call me by my name."

"Mirae. Can I kiss you?"

"Please."

Mirae closed her eyes, seemingly waiting for my lips to touch hers.

"Alright. Don't close your eyes."

I touched her face and caressed it with my fingers.

"Will I understand something if I let you kiss me?" 𝑛𝓞𝐕𝞮𝓵𝒰𝔰𝔟.𝐜𝒪𝑀

She opened her eyes and asked.

"I honestly don't know, only you can answer that."

"Then kiss me, Ruki."

She lifted her arms and put it on my shoulder. She's asking me to kiss her, then I'll give it to her.

Lifting her head up, I drew my face near her and planted my lips on hers, her eyes that were staring at me seemingly trembled. Her arms that were holding onto my shoulders clutched on it.

Overlapping our lips, I wouldn't just let it end here. I'll let her feel more. So that she will finally understand what she's feeling. If she will like this or not. Only she can decide that.

I started sucking on her lower lips, it's a bit salty from her sweat that dripped earlier. Unconsciously, Mirae slightly opened her mouth as if inviting me in.

I circled my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me. As I started to deepen our kiss, from no reaction, Mirae started to respond to me, copying whatever it is that I'm doing.

When my tongue entered her mouth, her eyes widened but when it touched her tongue, her whole body trembled as she started to lean on me. Pulling her ever closer, I put her on my lap.

She inhaled to catch her breath before I pulled her head back down. This time, her tongue also moved to entangle with my own tongue.

From a simple kiss, we eventually ended up in this state where our salivas have already exchanged mouths many times over.

"Ruki… what's this?"

She asked when our lips and tongue separated.

"Guess? Have you felt something?"

"My mind was telling me to kiss you again. My chest felt stuffy and it became harder to breathe. What is this?"

Though confused, that reddened face of hers couldn't deny that she enjoyed it.

"That's your assignment. Understand what you felt today, you can consult your knowledge. You can tell me anytime whatever answer you come up with."

I put a finger to her lips and she unconsciously kissed it before nodding her head.

This girl…

"Fujii, Onoda. Are you done?"

Suddenly, we heard the voice of the PE outside along with the opening of the door. Like we prepared, we immediately picked up the thing in front of us and pretended to be busy before the door fully opened.

Chapter 153: Fulfilling the Agreement (2)

It was a bit of a rush when the PE Teacher suddenly appeared and called out to us but luckily, due to how dark the interior of the Gym Storehouse is, she didn't see anything wrong with us

After telling us to take a break and keep the door open to let the air circulate, she went back to supervise our class.

Mirae heaved a sigh of relief when she's gone as her sweat continued to drip out of her skin.

"Let's take a break, Mirae. You're drenched in sweat already. I'll buy us a drink."

I called out to her.

She looked back and I saw her using her arm to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

"We had just taken a break, right?"

Ah. That's not a break you know? That's us slacking off.

"Just stop for now and get out to take fresh air. We'll finish that later."

I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the stuffy Gym Storehouse.

Now that we're out there, I could finally see clearly how much she sweated. Her shirt was already sticking to her skin, her hair was a bit wet as if she had just taken a shower.

"Look at you, you might get sick if you let that dry on you."

I couldn't give her my handkerchief since it's already used earlier. Though I've also sweated a bit when we're in that kind of steamy atmosphere earlier, it's not as much as hers.

"I see, you're always like this. Even at the infirmary, you're this concerned even to someone who kept glaring at you throughout the game."

Mirae looked up at me as if she's looking at someone she's admiring for a long time.

What is this girl talking about? I felt guilty back then for hitting her so I want her to feel better.

"Anyone will be concerned if they're the cause of why you collapsed. Just sit there for now, I'll be back."

Mirae only giggled from what I said before sitting on where I pointed.

I don't know what she's thinking. After that kiss, she seemed to be a different person now. Did I influence her that much?

After buying our drinks, I went back to the Gym Storehouse and saw her talking with Chii.

"Yo, Onoda-chi! I thought of seeing how you're doing."

With a grin on her face, Chii waved her hand towards me. This girl is always easy-going. But yeah that's a mask, right?

I don't know what they're talking about but Mirae's face was flushed. What did this gyaru tell her, I wonder?

"Chii, won't you be punished by the teacher? The others will be implicated as well."

That teacher likes to give collective punishment after all.

"Don't mind, don't mind. You're totally worried about me, eh? Have you read my message?"

No. I'm worried about Satsuki, Nami and Aya being implicated by you…

"Not yet. Does that concern what we talked about last week?"

She wanted us to talk privately. As to what the topic will be, I don't know. We didn't talk about deep topics during our chats so I still have no idea what it is that she wanted to tell me.

"Bingo! Make sure to read it, okay? See ya Mirae-chan!"

Like at how fast she arrived here when I'm only gone for a few minutes, Chii left after leaving those words. Did she just come here to remind me to read her message?

Haa. I still don't get her thought process.

"Here's yours, Mirae. What did the two of you talk about? She didn't bug you, did she?"

Handing her the juice I bought for her. I noticed how she's already refreshed, with her sweat already wiped. But yeah, she's still red.

"Thank you. She only asked if I'm also interested in you."

"I see. Based on how red you are right now, you answered yes?"

Mirae nodded and looked up at me with a wry smile.

"I'm curious about you, that means I'm interested in you, right? And also, you said you like me."

"Right. You could say it like that. Do you remember your assignment?"

When I asked her later she kept insisting on it just her being curious about me. I guess that kiss really changed the way she thinks of me.

Asking me to kiss her when the first time was just her fully rejecting as if it would be the end if I took her lips by then. This time, she almost took the lead from me when she got used to it.

"Un. Actually, I want to kiss more. Maybe I'll understand it if we do it more…"

Mirae pulled on my sleeves as she looked up at me with that glistening lips of hers. Her fogged up glasses were cleared which made me see her eyes that were intently looking at me, communicating what she wanted.

"I'm kind of glad you're this eager but Mirae, you don't need to rush it. Take your time to understand your feelings. You never liked someone before, right?"

I smiled at her and put my thumb on her lips, caressing it as I asked her the question.

She might get addicted to it and soon grew tired so it's better for her to take it slow. It will be bad if she got addicted until her reasoning dulled to the point of asking somebody else for it.

It's better to teach her slowly and to let her understand that it's special.

"Maybe you'll be the first."

Mirae nodded. She closed her lips as she tried to feel my thumb on it.

"Then I won't take advantage of your confused state. Let's take it slow, okay? I'll let you slowly understand it. That way you won't be too confused if you really came to like somebody."

Hearing what I said, Mirae gave me an enchanting smile. She grabbed my hand that's caressing her lips and put it on her cheeks, feeling the warmth of my palm.

"Un. Thank you, Ruki."

She closed her eyes as she rubbed her cheeks on it.

"What are you thanking me for? I like you, this is normal for me."

Taking the seat next to her, Mirae used my shoulder to lean on instead. We will surely be misunderstood if someone comes here and sees us.

"For you, but other boys aren't like you. Those who confessed to me before, either they're too naive thinking I'll be easy or too shameless that they kept reaching on my hand when they're confessing. You're the only one who's always this calm and patient."

Ah. Those are kids, eh? Who would confess like that?

Err... It's not as if I did a traditional confession behind the school building or under a Cherry Blossom Tree. Hell, my first time confessing with someone was in the bath with Akane. Or if that didn't count, with Satsuki inside that empty room where we had sex right after.

"Ah. Right. If someone confesses to you again, will you be curious about him too?"

Will she? I don't know, she's in a different class so it'll be hard to see her unless we communicate with each other beforehand. There is the club and this PE class but I won't always be at the club and this taking PE with their class is only once a week.

"I'll turn down anyone else. I will only be curious about you."

She shook her head as she tried to affirm me.

"You had just put me in a good mood again."

I smiled at her and patted her head, she closed her eyes to feel the sensation better, like a cat being patted by her owner.

"I'm glad. Can I ask for a kiss in exchange for putting you in a good mood?"

After the patting, Mirae whispered her request.

"This girl… Alright, after we're done with our task."

Ah. Let's satisfy her for today. It'll be hard to be alone with her again after this. Well, we'll continue our weekly agreement anyway so there will be more chances.

"Then let's get to it."

Mirae excitedly said as she finished drinking her juice. She immediately went inside and I followed after her.

"But Mirae, we shouldn't close the door again. It'll be hot inside and it's my time now, right?"

While doing our task, it's time for her to impart me some knowledge. She told me back then that my thoughts were filled with shameless things so I should start filling it with other knowledge.

"Ah! Right, your time where I'll teach you knowledge I know.

Mirae exclaimed as if she only remembered it just now.

"Alright. What kind of knowledge will you impart to me?"

We started our work. We're already half done when I pulled her to that corner earlier so this will be swift.

"That… it's up to you. Pick a subject then I'll tell you what I know about it."

This girl. So it's still on me to pick the subject eh? What do I want to know?

Something I want to do…

"Alright. Apart from studying, what should I do to be successful in life?"

It can't be too successful but just enough to realize that future with them.

"Successful? Why do you want to know about it?"

"Isn't that why we're studying? To become someone who could be called a successful person."

That's what they advocate anyway and in the end, only a handful can really become one. Some ended up being slaves to their workplaces, just to get by.

"… You're right. I don't have enough knowledge about that subject but apart from studying, you should first identify your strong suit."

Well, of course, you're also a student like me. What should I expect?

"My strong suit? I'm good at talking but only when I was trying to make a girl mine or direct someone to think in another direction. I don't think I have a handsome face which can lift me up. What else? I'm fit and strong?"

Those are the only things I could think of. I'm too honest to become a salesperson, I might say the negative points of the product I will be selling.

"You have a lot of strong suits, it seems. Just with the fit and strong, you can be a professional in that department."

Mirae pondered for a while before speaking again.

"Ah. I don't think I would like to fight to be successful or even become a bodyguard of someone. They will always worry about it. Being an athlete is kind of a hassle too."

Training to become an athlete? With this many girls by my side, I won't have the time. There should be something else I can do.

Starting up a business? But I don't have the capital nor the idea to implement.

"They?"

Of all things that's what she picked up, eh?

"My girls, there's not only Kana and Haruko. I don't want them to worry about me."

Being this honest with her. I guess I'm already including her in my plan for the future.

"I see. So there's not only Kana-senpai and the senpai from the infirmary…"

She fell silent for a minute before muttering those.

"Based on your knowledge, I'm probably a playboy in your eyes now."

If she used her knowledge that is. She already knew that I have Kana and Haruko. That didn't stop her to be curious about me which led to our earlier entanglement.

"No. That's not what I'm thinking! I'm just thinking if I will still have a place."

Mirae immediately rejected and corrected me.

"I will not confess to you if you don't have a place. Also, it's fine to think that way, I already accepted that my way of life will not be accepted by a lot of people but I will still strive to make it happen."

"Y-you're amazing that way."

How is that amazing? It'll be despised by almost everyone for sure. Or some of them will just be too envious to accept it. Right?

"Really? Thanks, Mirae."

Putting down the last equipment to be sorted out, I went next to her and thanked her.

With this, we're done with our task.

"Ruki... Thank you."

After making sure everything is in order, Mirae turned to me and also muttered her gratitude.

"Why are you also thanking me?"

"For helping me be myself now."

Why do they always credit it to me? I'm just someone who's giving them the first push to change themselves.

"I only reminded you, it's you yourself who made that happen."

"That's enough for me. Apart from you, no one ever pointed it out to me."

Mirae shook her head. It can't be that there's no one, maybe she just couldn't accept it before. My forceful nature back then made her understand that what I'm saying is true.

"I see. Maybe that's also why you became curious about me."

There's another girl whose curiosity towards me will probably blow up soon. I set her aside because of her troublesome nature but I guess I should also deal with her soon. To keep the harmony back in that clubroom?

Err… I'm the one who destroyed that harmony now I'm trying to bring it back.

"Un. I couldn't forget you since that day in the infirmary."

"So Mirae's always thinking about me, eh?"

Since we're done, Mirae herself pulled me to the same corner as earlier. Despite the accumulating heat, she stuck close to me.

"You're still a mystery, Ruki. Uhm. What else do you want to know?"

Mystery. You already uncovered most of the mystery, you know?

"Ah. Right. What else? I really want to know what I should do to make this successful."

"Make what successful?"

I keep thinking about what to do but with these issues piling up, it's kind of hard to focus. There's the thing with Shio, the meeting with Otoha's grandfather, getting Himeko recognized by her father. Also, add my nature to steal or to get someone I like.

I know I should pause but if you're in my shoes and have this kind of nature, it will be proven more difficult if I forcefully stop it.

"Living with everyone in the future."

"Uhm, it actually depends if it's only you or the others will also help."

I see. I only factored my involvement to make it successful but if they also chip in...

"They will surely help. What about you, Mirae?"

They're all strong women, they won't let me shoulder it myself even if I insist.

"Eh? Why me too?"

Though I already expressed my liking to her, she still couldn't help but be surprised after hearing my words.

"I also want to see you with me in the future."

I lifted her chin and planted a kiss to it. She asked for this earlier but when I really did it, she failed to react quickly.

"Uhh… then if that happened I'll help too."

After feeling my lips upon hers, it took her awhile to collect herself.

"Then Mirae-sensei, I'll rely on your knowledge to help me know more things I keep on skipping."

Asking her about something I don't know, I guess she'll be like my walking encyclopedia. Now that she started to think for herself, she can now also mix in her own opinions. And for me that will really be helpful.

"Don't call me sensei. It feels distant."

She started to respond to my kiss and in no time, we're back to the state before the PE Teacher called out to us earlier. We still have some time before the PE class ends and so…

"Alright. Rae." 𝔫𝑶𝒱𝑬𝔩𝒰𝐒𝑩.𝗰𝑜𝗆

Changing my way of calling her. Rae blushed beautifully as she showed how pleased she was with it.

"Ruki…"

Taking the lead from me. Rae started to become bolder as her kisses slowly went down to my neck.

Of course, I'm not someone who will let her do everything. Taking the lead back from her, every part of her neck and down to her collarbone wasn't spared. I only made sure not to leave a mark and not go below it. I said to take it slow so that could wait.

Just like this, our Agreement for this week is about to end. With her becoming this curious about me, it'll just be a matter of time before that turned to something else.

Chapter 154: Cleaning the Clubroom

After the PE. The 7th period became another self-study period due to the students being dead tired even after resting for 30 minutes.

Rae and I stayed there until the last minute. Before the PE Teacher saw our state we already separated after a steamy session where there's no place untouched on her lips and neck.

We planned our next agreement for next week and unlike today, we have to fit it in somewhere we can really be alone together. It's what she insisted when I first told her to just do it during club hours.

Because of how close we were earlier, Rae noticed my bulge below me when she sat on it. Curious as she was, she kept on rubbing herself on it while we're locked in kissing.

I felt that part of her moistened that if we continued, she might ask for it right then and there. Though she didn't ask me about it when we separated, she'll probably look for knowledge regarding it and raise that question next time.

During the self-study at 7th Period, Satsuki asked me where I was. They were made to run-walk-run this time that Aya on my other side was currently sleeping due to tiredness.

"At the Gym Storehouse. Didn't the teacher specifically call me?"

I answered her. Now, even if Sakuma listened, after his concession, I won't restrain myself at talking to Satsuki anymore.

Well, she asked me too without thinking about how Sakuma would react. I guess we're already on the way of not caring about what he will think. Just that, we couldn't openly admit our relationship in class. There's also Nami and Aya after all.

"I wasn't looking. Were you with another girl?"

Satsuki's guess was spot on. Really. Though Chii checked on me there, there's only a few who knew who I was with.

"Err… The girl who collapsed last week requested my help."

"I see."

Satsuki smirked as if she already knew what that meant.

"What's that smirk?"

"You know what's that for, idiot. Anyway don't you have the task to clean a clubroom?"

Of course, I know. She already determined that it's one of my girls which is not wrong.

Satsuki then changed the subject and mentioned the thing I seemingly forgot.

I planned to go home early today and see Shio's state. There's no news about her husband yet but I should expect him within this week. That guy wouldn't just stop after what I did last night.

"Ah. Right! I should do that now!"

I stood up. And was about to turn to Sakuma when Satsuki's voice came again.

"Hey, let me help you."

I looked at her and found her eyes pleading to me to take her.

"Eh? You'll be tired for your practice later. You should take a rest here."

She didn't talk yesterday when Aya and Sakuma decided to help me. And well, I didn't ask her because of her practice but now she's volunteering to help me.

"It's fine, I will not do the heavy stuff."

As if I will let her. I'm already quite happy that she wanted to help despite her club practice later.

"You will insist even if I say no, eh?"

Hearing my words, Satsuki smirked again before pointing to Aya.

"At least you get that part. Besides, Rindou won't be able to help you now."

I'll let her sleep. I forgot to account the PE for today. A lot happened yesterday.

"Ah. Right. It's better for her to sleep like that."

Though she might get upset if we leave her here, I'll think of something to appease her if that happened.

"Hey. You're forgetting about me."

Sakuma interjected when he saw us about to leave our seats.

"Ah. Right, there's also you."

I intentionally commented. I didn't forget about him but since Satsuki will come, getting them in the room together with me will surely be awkward. Especially now that Sakuma conceded.

"Man. That's cold. You already paid for my labor, don't you want it?"

Sakuma acted like he's hurt.

I could see him stealing glances at Satsuki but that's it. He already started restraining himself.

This guy. What will happen if Satsuki's sister already has a new boyfriend and that he will not have a chance anymore?

"Alright come."

I stood up and the two of them followed me out. However, before we went out of the door, Nami called out to me.

"Ruu, Let me help too."

Satsuki looked at her with an expressionless face.

Don't tell me she's jealous?

"Are you sure, Nami?"

She's not as athletic as Satsuki so she's also worn out from the PE class.

"No worries, I don't plan to lift heavy objects but if it's sweeping or wiping off the dust then I can do it properly."

Nami answered with a smile and I saw her eyes also passed by Satsuki.

"That's already my job."

Satsuki commented before turning her gaze away.

Sakuma on the said could only have a wry smile from watching this. It's quite clear that these two find themselves as rivals of each other.

"Won't it be faster if there's the two of us?"

Nami looked at her and wore a smile on her face. But yeah, I could see Satsuki's eyebrows twitched before she released a sigh.

"Suit yourself. Don't react to anything you will see, alright?"

Err. What does that mean, Satsuki? Is she planning something?

"Now, now. I'll relegate our duty there so for now, let's move from here."

I went in between them to break the glaring contest that's about to happen.

Nami's friends were watching this happening from their seat and most of them were amused. Well, except Ogawa and Tadano.

After leaving the classroom I had them wait at the entrance of the School Building while I looked for the teacher who gave me the task. After giving me the location and the key to the clubroom, I went back to them.

When I arrived back, Satsuki and Nami were glaring at each other while Sakuma was like an idiot who didn't know what to do.

"Do you like each other that much?"

I commented and that broke their glares from each other however their target only changed to me. Being glared at by these two beauties, perverts will probably have an orgasm.

Well, I'm kind of already used to Satsuki's glares. I get that regularly after all. And Nami, she's slowly turning back to that scary girl who asked me if I was a stalker, which is good. I should ask her of her observations when we have time.

"Man. I couldn't help but be envious of you. I shouldn't have conceded."

Sakuma went to my side and said that after the two calmed down.

"What are you talking about?"

"Dude. You couldn't deny it anymore, even Andou is into you. You even have a nickname for yourselves. Really. Is this what you told me, will you take both of them?"

Though his voice sounds like joking he's surely trying to probe my attitude. He'll probably rage out if I said yes.

"Like I told you, if I like them, then I'll take them. Right now, they're only volunteering to help me with this task so I'm glad."

They're both mine already so his question is a bit late.

After calming the two girls, I led them to the said clubroom, it's located on the third floor of the club building so it will surely be a hassle to take the trash out.

The room was still full of boxes and other miscellaneous items not related to the club that was using this room before.

"Alright. Me and Sakuma will be carrying those unneeded out, Satsuki will wipe those surfaces clean and the places that Nami will not be able to reach. Nami, please sweep the floor clean, if you need someone to carry something away, just call on me."

After relegating their duties like that, we started our work. Nami and Satsuki put on a handkerchief on their faces to avoid inhaling dust particles. Sakuma sorted out those useless and unneeded things while I helped Nami carry the chairs and tables away from the place she was about to sweep.

When Sakuma went out to take out the trash to the incinerator, Satsuki called out to me.

"Ruki. Can you bring me a chair?"

I looked at her and she's doing fine. What's the chair for?

I didn't ask and just brought what she asked. When I went near her, she turned around and pushed me down to the chair.

"Satsuki?"

Though I already expected what she wanted to do, Nami's still there, y'know?"

"While Sakuma's out, can't you hold me?"

Her voice turned soft as she started to straddle me on the chair. She took off the handkerchief covering her mouth.

"Maemura? What are you doing?"

Nami finally noticed us and shouted from where she is.

However, Satsuki ignored her as she cupped my cheeks on her hand and kissed me in front of Nami.

She immediately used her tongue as if Nami who was watching us is of no concern to her.

"Satsuki, I'm happy that you're this proactive but, we could do this later."

I told her in between our kisses. She's not stopping so I also started responding to her.

"Shut up, is it bad that I am missing you? I'll go to practice once again, this is the only time I can be with you."

Ah. She didn't think that I would visit her later.

"Ruu. Look at me too."

Nami called out to me and I saw her pleading eyes. After what happened earlier, she finally accepted me but to have her see this.

"You already had your time with him during lunch break Andou, let me be this close to him this time."

Satsuki looked at Nami. There's no hostility in her voice, only envy. My lunch break was always spent in that empty clubroom now and Satsuki noticed it. Well, it's because the rumors never stopped.

"You were also with him all day last Sunday. Isn't that already enough?"

When Satsuki heard Nami's words, she stopped and looked at me as if asking me if I told her.

"Don't look at him, I'm the one who saw you two."

"I see. We're not cautious last time, Ruki. What if it's somebody else who saw us?"

Somebody already did. Well, this is fine too, not to worry her about Shizu-senpai.

"I know. We'll be careful in the future."

I looked at Satsuki and said that in earnest.

"Alright. Then Andou, he's yours, I've already had my fill of him. Just be quick before Sakuma arrives."

Satsuki nodded before she stood up from me.

She turned around and put on her handkerchief to cover her nose and mouth again.

"Maemura, do you love Ruu?"

Seeing her turn around like she's conceding me to her, instead of doing the same thing as Satsuki, Nami threw her a question.

"I do. Isn't it obvious? Even if that idiot's like that, he always made me feel special."

Satsuki sincerely answered as she turned to look Nami in the eye.

"Then we're the same. Can we get along together? Honestly, I hate competing like this."

Nami heaved a sigh of relief before declaring that.

For her to take that initiative, she's really amazing. But is this really fine with her? She had just accepted me and this already happened.

"Hmm. If you let me join you occasionally during lunch then..."

Err… Satsuki?

"Deal!"

Without hesitation, Nami shouted her acceptance with a smile on her face.

"And also Rindou."

Satsuki added. For her to also include Aya. Haa, these girls are really good.

"Is she also…?"

Nami alternatively looked between me and Satsuki for confirmation.

"Un."

Satsuki answered and I nodded as well.

"Alright. There's no problem. We could just kick him out if it became too crowded."

Nami pondered for a while before cheerfully declaring it.

"I'm starting to like you, Andou."

Satsuki grinned at Nami.

These two, they already have a mutual understanding.

"Call me Nanami. Me too, I'm starting to like you Maemura "

"Alright, then call me by my name too."

The two of them then shook their hands in front of me. Like rivals reconciling to become best friends.

"Did you just decide everything without consulting me?"

I interjected. Honestly, I feel left out but I'm also glad that they came to an understanding.

"Shut up, pervert. You should stand up from there now."

Satsuki berated me as she took my left arm to pull me off the chair.

"You have no say in girl's talk, Ruu. You know you'll be killed by everyone if they knew you have us three."

Nami also commented as she took my other arm. Pressing my arms in their breasts, even if both of them didn't have that big of a rack, the softness was still heavenly.

"Ah. I can't die yet, I still want to stay with you all in the future."

I took my arm from them and circled it around their waists. To have them at my side like this, I really am lucky, eh?

Watching them like this eased my worry a bit.

"Eh? Look at this idiot."

Even if she said that, Satsuki's face visibly reddened when she felt my arm pulling her to me.

"True. He's certainly like an idiot just now."

The same with Nami, even if their words were contradicting what they felt, I decided to play along with them while they're both this close to me.

"It's great and all that you get along now but… do you have to hurt my feelings?"

"As if you will be hurt."

Satsuki clicked her tongue and pulled out of my embrace.

From outside, we already heard the approaching footsteps of Sakuma. He's already back from throwing away the trash.

"You're too shameless to be hurt by that, Ruu."

Nami did the same but before that, she took this chance to kiss me before pulling herself out.

"Ugh. Alright, you two win. Let's finish cleaning now."

Acting like I was hurt. I stood up and picked up the chair I sat on.

"Uhm… What happened here?"

Sakuma asked when he finally appeared from the room and saw us crowding in one corner.

"He wanted to slack off so we gave him a smack." 𝔫𝑶𝒱𝑬𝔩𝒰𝐒𝑩.𝗰𝑜𝗆

Satsuki smilingly answered.

"Right."

And Nami seconded.

After that, they both giggled to themselves.

Sakuma could only be confused as he looked at me for an answer.

I couldn't tell him anything so I just shrugged at him

After that, we finished cleaning the clubroom before the bell indicating the end of classes rang.

Before we left, I told them I will treat them as thanks for helping but the two girls instantly declined. However, when Sakuma's not looking, they both whispered to my ears in a voice soft enough that they'll be expecting that treat.

Excuse me but why did that sound scary?

Sakuma, who's at the front, said I already paid him with the juice earlier so he also declined.

Err… everything still ended well, I guess?

Chapter 155: Take a Break

I promised Shio that I will go home early but before that, I have to excuse myself to the club for today and tomorrow. Well, there's also that visit to Satsuki since we already had that brief time when she expressed her feelings during our task earlier, she will be focused on her club practice now.

The game will be this Sunday. I'm planning to take her out after it, whether they win or lose, to celebrate if they win or to comfort her if they lose.

When we went back to the class after we're done with the cleaning, Aya was already awake and pouting. She found out that we left her behind. When she told me how she was looking forward to it, I promised her that if there's another chance, there'll only be two of us.

Err. It's not as if I will deliberately get myself into trouble to be given that kind of task again.

After picking up our bags, we then went to the Club Building together. I only planned to drop her off at the Book Club but when we reached it, she pulled me inside. Even with Haruko and Himeko there, she only greeted them first before pulling me on one corner where we wouldn't be seen by them.

"Just for a minute, Ruki."

Aya immediately clung to me and started rubbing her cheeks on my chest like a cat.

Watching her acting like this, it quickly put a smile on my face. Taking away some of my fatigue.

"My Aya is always this adorable. It's making me want to pamper you all day."

I put my hand on the back of her head and pulled her closer. Though we're almost always together due to us being just next to each other, the number of times when we're alone were lower than Nami.

Yesterday as well, I could only say goodbye to her when I left this clubroom after hearing the Itou sisters.

"You don't have to, Ruki. You're already pampering me by always listening to me discussing a book that you're not reading."

Aya answered while she kept doing it as if she's recharging herself through it.

"I love hearing you talk about something you love, you know? Your smiles were really refreshing when you're discussing the things you enjoyed."

Her smiles can really brighten someone's day if they see it but yeah, that smile was exclusive for me. If not for us being in the classroom all the time, I would have kissed her to answer her enthusiasm.

"But you don't always have to, okay? Lately, I noticed that you look kind of tired, are you properly taking a rest?"

Aya looked up at me and reached for my cheek.

"Do I really? A lot of you are telling me that."

"Because it's really showing on your face. Maybe some haven't noticed it yet but soon."

Aya started caressing my cheek while intently looking at me. Her touches were kind of soothing that it made me close my eyes to feel it better.

"I see. I'll take proper rest soon when some issues are successfully resolved."

After a while, I gave her an answer that she will be satisfied with.

The problem with Shio's husband is the one I need to resolve quickly. Only then can I take this rest they're telling me.

"Promise me."

"Yes. I promise."

Aya probably thought that's not enough without sealing it as a promise.

"Great!"

Hearing my answer Aya showed a relieved smile and reached in for a kiss.

She was also telling me to take a rest. How many are they who already told me this?

Haa. I already promised. After resolving this thing with Shio's husband, I will really take that rest. Take my mind off everything and just relax even for just a day.

After that, Aya let me go as she was already satisfied with that kiss and my promise.

We then went back to see Haruko and Himeko. When I asked them about what happened yesterday after I left, Himeko told me everything and what they planned to do next. However, in the end, she also told me not to worry anymore. She will handle her sister so I should take it easy and do what I must.

Haruko also chipped in that they're already satisfied just by seeing me today. But yeah, I'm the one not satisfied. They're being considerate to me by doing this, Haruko asked me to take a rest yesterday so she probably also urged Himeko to act like this.

Before reluctantly leaving the Book Club, I took them both in my arms and thanked them. They both hugged me back but Haruko told me once again to take that rest and stop worrying too much.

When I arrived at the Literature Club, there's only Rae and Kana. Ishida-senpai and Otsuka-senpai hadn't arrived yet or they were busy with something.

Rae was already on her corner busy reading again while Kana was also busy revising the chapters I've already read. She took in some of the advice which Aya pointed out, polishing her novel before submitting it. There's still a week before the deadline for the Newcomer's Award so after she resolved her issue with Kenji, Kana now has time to focus more on her novel.

When I suddenly hugged her from behind she was almost startled but when she saw that it was me, she pulled me down next to her and showed me the changes she made.

I honestly told her how it really made her story better. Hearing that, Kana happily hugged me. 𝒏𝒐𝐕𝐄𝗅𝓊𝓈𝔟.𝑐𝓞𝗆

"Ruki…"

Kana called out to me during our hug.

"Have you been resting properly?"

Ah. Even she is asking me this. Is it showing on my face how tired I am now?

"I will soon. You're all worrying too much."

I whispered my answer to her to ease her worry.

"Did they also ask you this?"

When she heard the word all, her ears perked up.

"Un. Do I really look tired?"

Aya told me that it's already showing on my face, did Kana also notice it?

"Not really but you're kind of breathing heavily, that's why I asked."

Err... Now it's a different reason.

"Ah. I see. Then I'll take that rest. I also only come here to apologize because I'm going to skip the club today and tomorrow."

I smiled and assured her before telling me my real purpose for coming here.

"Eh? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Hearing that, Kana asked worriedly as if she had done something wrong.

"If I tell you that I'm enjoying watching you do your best on something you really like, will you believe me?"

And I really do. Even how Miwa-nee was taking care of Minoru, those smiles were genuine. I kind of want to see all of them doing what they enjoy.

Even Shio's teaching. Seeing their passion for something was really satisfying.

"Of course, you're always like that. You dummy. Don't worry too much about me, I may look like this but I can protect myself."

She even cutely flaunts her flabby arm muscles as a gesture to show how strong she is.

"I know. My Kana is strong. Since Ishida-senpai isn't here yet, please tell her. Though I will skip, I will still come and check on you."

I couldn't help but kiss her, seeing her do that.

"Un. I'll tell her when she arrives. Just remember what I told you."

She responded to my kisses and eventually she settled on my lap even with Rae on the side. She's trying to appear busy even if our gazes already met each other.

"I promise I will really take a rest, I don't want you all worrying about me like this."

Another promise. I guess I really have to fulfill that.

"Alright, this is enough, I can get more after you've taken that rest. Now go to Mirae-chan, she's also waiting for you."

Though our kisses were just starting to get deeper, Kana broke it after a while.

"Eh? You know?"

"She kept talking about you whenever she saw me. Even before today. From that, I naturally guessed that you're the one who helped her change."

Ah. Right. Even if she mostly relies on her knowledge and she's always absorbed in reading and taking up new knowledge, she's not an introvert at all. So, her talking to Kana or Otsuka-senpai is quite normal. I just wonder, is she also talking about me with that curious girl?

"I see. Detective Kana once again showed her deductive skills."

I teasingly called her with that nickname. And that made her embarrassed.

"Uhh. Are you teasing me?"

"I'm praising my Kana. Look after yourselves, okay? Especially with that Kenji still not giving up on you."

I really don't know if that guy is avoiding to confront me or not. But in any case, as long as he behaves then there will be no problem between us.

"I just told you to stop worrying. Mirae-chan come here and help me straighten him up."

When Kana called her, Rae immediately stood up and sat next to me. With these two at my side, I guess I left the Literature Club more than satisfied.

I told Kana what happened to us and our weekly agreement. Then Kana also joined in by also giving an answer on what I asked to Rae earlier.

Before leaving school, I checked my phone and called Akane and Shio that I'm already on my way home.

With most of the girls telling me to take a rest this time. It won't be good if I didn't do that.

Maybe I can relax tomorrow at the Student Council. Ah. That will surely give Shizu-senpai a more bad impression of me. Getting her on our side is crucial to avoid having eyes on me. Err… let's see what we can do tomorrow.

I'm already about to walk past the school gates when I saw a familiar car that was parked near the Administration Building.

Of course, there were only a few cars I could recognize or should I say, I take notice of.

Shio's husband is here at school. Is he looking for her or looking for the student who took her?

Let's see. What should I do with this guy? Should I wait for him or look for him inside?

Ah. There might be some implications if I anger him here at school.

Thinking of what to do, I decided not to confront him here, instead, I took out a paper and wrote something in it before pinching it beneath his car's windshield wiper.

I left the school and made my way home after that. He'll be a huge idiot if he failed to see that note I left him.

Chapter 156: Make her Fall Tonight

When I arrived home, Shio was the one waiting for me at the door. As if a wife waiting for her husband, Shio kissed me and took my bag from me before leading me to the living room where Minoru and Miwa-nee are.

Missing that familiar figure, I couldn't help but blurt out a question.

"Where is Akane?"

It's rare not to see her in the house. No. Not just rare, she's always here whenever I'm home.

Not seeing her this time led me to instantly long for her figure.

"I'm here, husband."

Her soothing voice along with a hug from my back answered me. 𝐍𝗈𝑽𝖾𝓵𝓤𝑠𝒃.𝒞𝑂𝑚

"You had me worried for a second. Where did you go?"

I turned around to see her giving off her enchanting smile as always.

"I'm happy you instantly look for me. I'm just in the bathroom. My pee came at the wrong timing."

Err… To think it was that simple of a reason.

"I see. I'm really a worrywart, eh?"

I wryly smiled before I slipped my arms around her waist to pick her up. My sudden worry and longing for her made me want to put her as close to me as possible.

"I love you."

Akane whispered it in my ears before she pulled her head back to align our face to each other. From there, our lips naturally met and we started sharing a passionate kiss between us.

"Me too, Ruru."

Shio's envious voice sounded right after I kissed Akane. Turning my head to face her, Shio's lips overlapped mine even with Akane in my arms. The soft feeling of her lips which I slowly get used to, pressed on mine.

"You three, do that somewhere Minoru can't see, okay?"

Miwa-nee who was watching us commented.

"Miwa-nee, you too."

Instead of heeding her. I called out to this beautiful aunt of mine. It's been some time since I got my focus on her.

"Really. You've become this spoiled, Ruki."

Though she says that, Miwa-nee stood up and took me from Shio's embrace. Like the other two, our lips immediately locked together and from how aggressive she kissed me, I could feel Miwa-nee also longed for this.

And if that's not enough, I switched between the three, turning that scene into something taken from a paradise.

Only when we're all satisfied did we stop..

"It's only kisses but…"

Shio's soft voice was in doubt.

"...why can't we stop?"

Miwa-nee finished her question.

"It's because husband always never wanted to lose to us."

And Akane answered their doubts.

"How can I resist you three? Showing our affection like that, it's a nice feeling."

Taking them all in my arms, I guess no one could always experience this.

"Then don't do anything now. You should rest right there and wait for our dinner."

Shio's commanding voice surprisingly surfaced at this moment.

"Right. You keep on moving these past few days so just relax there.

Miwa-nee seconded her.

"I'll brush your hair to help you relax, husband."

And Akane is taking her duties as my wife.

Ah. Even these three. They're all urging me to take a rest and relax. I guess a nap should be fine. Then I'll take them up on their offer.

With the sounds of Shio and Miwa-nee working at the kitchen and Akane gently brushing my hair with her fingers while letting me use her lap as a pillow, I closed my eyes and let my mind relax as I drifted off to sleep.

I might've really been so tired that I immediately fell asleep when I put myself in this relaxed situation.

This lifestyle of ours is centered around me. I have to be strong for them. Showing myself as fatigued as that will affect them as well. I'm their foundation, if I disappeared, everything would crumble down.

When I woke up after that short nap, I was still in Akane's lap. Seeing her face each time I opened my eyes from sleep was already the norm for me. With a smile on her face, Akane's lips parted.

"Have you rested enough?"

"I guess so. Did I look really tired earlier?"

Akane nodded with a hint of worry in her face.

"I must've worried you all."

I reached my hand on her face and caressed it with my fingers, taking in this smooth and soft face, remembering its shape.

"Take regular rest like this starting today. Even a short nap can reduce the fatigue that was building up."

Akane put her hand over it as she held onto it tightly.

"Un. I will."

When she heard my answer, a beautiful and relieved smile bloomed from Akane's lips.

After that, I was led by her to the dining room. Shio and Miwa-nee have just finished preparing our dinner.

Since there's Minoru, we didn't talk about the current problem Shio was facing instead, we had a harmonious dinner. Seeing their smiling faces like this, I wanted to paint that and frame it near the front door. To remind me to protect those smiles from anything.

What I left at Shio's husband's car was something like a declaration of war but I'm already prepared to deal with him. Now I'm just waiting on how he will respond. Without resolving this, we wouldn't be able to move forward.

There's also the issue with Miwa-nee's husband. If my guess was correct, he started to notice Minoru that doesn't resemble him at all that's why they had a fight.

And Miwa-nee, owning up to her fault, doesn't want to involve me.

However, when she called my mom, she was guided to go here. Is she expecting me to notice it as well?

Haa. I have to call and ask mom after this issue with Shio.

After our dinner, Miwa-nee took Minoru upstairs while Shio tended to the dishes.

Akane sat next to me in the living room to pass the time while watching something on TV.

During it, she told me that her father will arrive tomorrow. It's already more than a week since Akane moved here with me.

During that time when we had that talk, her father agreed since he will soon go home to accompany Aunt Akemi. I wonder. Should I greet them?

"Let's eat dinner with them tomorrow?"

I asked her which instantly put a smile on her face.

"Yes! Uhm. That's what I'm about to ask but you beat me to it."

"They're my in-laws, of course, I want to show them that even if I'm like this, I'm properly taking care of you."

"I'm really happy to be like this with you again."

"Me too."

The night went on after that. During our bath, Akane told me to go to Shio's room. I told her what I did earlier so after processing it in her mind, she told me to take Shio today. To ease her mind on what's about to come after we resolved the issue with her husband.

After sending Akane to our room, I assured her that I'll be back to her side. She just nodded and kissed me before pushing me out of our room. For her to suggest and to concede this time for Shio. Akane's doing her best to help me again.

"May I come in?"

After knocking three times, I called out from outside of the room. Earlier, I came in without knocking so I took it to mind this time.

When I didn't hear any answer from her, I opened the door and walked to her bedside.

Shio is already peacefully asleep. However, when she felt my fingers brushing on her face, her eyes fluttered and slowly opened.

"It's already late in the night, why are you here?"

"To see my Shio, of course. Can I?"

I answered her and asked for her permission if I can get inside the bed with her.

"Un. Come in."

Shio moved back for a bit to give me space. Seeing that, I climbed on the bed and lay myself next to her.

"Will you sleep with me tonight?"

Shio asked when I'm finished settling myself inside the blanket.

"Do you want me to?"

I turned my body to face her and so did she. Even in this dimly lit room, Shio's eyes shined with a hint of her loneliness. Of course, it's still about her husband.

"Yes, Ruru. Steal me from him tonight."

With conviction in her voice, Shio told me what she wanted me to do.

"Aren't you already mine?"

The day I set my sights on her, I already considered her as mine…

"We haven't done it yet, so…"

The volume of her voice lowered as if she's embarrassed to say it.

"Doing and not doing it isn't the real factor whether you're mine, right? What do you feel about me, Shio?"

If before I used that as a demarcation of who's completely mine or not. Not anymore. My first time with them will just be our memory that we could recall in times that we're in doubt. That's why I wanted to make it special for Shio, Aya, Nao and Nami.

"I like you… Even if you're my student, I'm the one being taught by you. You kept on opening my eyes on the things I couldn't notice before."

Did I do any of that?

"I don't recall doing any of that."

"Idiot. You did, you just won't take the credit for it."

Ah. Maybe I really did.

"Because it's still made with your own effort."

I slipped my hand to hold her head from below her ear. It's always their own effort. Not mine.

"Will you be fine in the future?"

Future again, eh? It's uncertain but…

"I will. I'll make sure of it."

Hearing my answer, Shio nodded and smiled.

"I spent the day without thinking of the problem like you asked. And I cleared my mind."

"I'm glad it works."

I'm more than glad that she listened to me.

"But Ruki. I'm sorry but I still can't decide on what to do."

With a trace of regret and sorrow, Shio asked for my forgiveness.

"Why are you saying sorry? That's normal. Only fools will make a hasty decision concerning their futures. Ah. I am one of those fools, and I already dragged some of them with me."

I expected that it wouldn't be enough. That's why I'm here to make the final push.

"Right. You're a fool. A fool who knows what he's doing. Compared to me. I deluded myself that he's just as happy as me when we married."

Her self-pity was oozing out with every word that she said.

"That's also normal. Everyone has their own fantasies. You got taken in by him and that led you to marry him."

But I vowed to shatter it. It's not her fault to be taken in. It's all on that pedophile.

"I am also a fool to even consider that he will change. I haven't told you but before me, someone else was his lover."

Revealing more information about him, I guess I already expected that when I saw Nao's state in which she got that ribbon and hairstyle which Shio has when she's still his student. Maybe the previous girl was also like that.

"I see. So he's actually already dating a student before you."

"Un. Now that I got a clear head and the time to think about it, he's only getting a new girlfriend after the girl he's dating graduated. He probably thought of cutting me off as well after I graduated to get himself a new girl to play with."

Most likely. Ah no. That's a certainty already.

"But you broke it when you dragged him to meet your parents."

The other girls before her probably couldn't do what she did.

"Yes. Maybe even before our wedding, when I was busy studying in college, he already got someone new without my knowledge. His transfer was probably because of that as well, he wouldn't be able to get someone new if I worked at the same school as him."

Considering she's busy studying away from him. There's no doubt that he got someone new. Even if he couldn't run away from their wedding, that didn't stop him to continue what he's doing.

"I see, that's why Nao became his new girl. But surprisingly, he didn't take her first time."

"Her resistance must be high that's why he kept bringing her home to lower her guard down."

I see. He's trying to rile the two of them up by letting them meet each other, but before his plan came to fruition, I stepped in.

"Is that what he did to you?"

"I willingly gave it to him. I was a fool in love."

Right. Nao is… waiting for me? That sounded arrogant but it's a possibility that's why she put up that condition to him.

"I see. You're no fool Shio. You just fell in love."

There's nothing wrong if someone fell in love. Even if it's with the wrong person. What's wrong is not cherishing someone like that.

"Help me, Ruru."

Shio drew her face and her whole body near me, with a few centimetres of the distance between our bodies, I could already feel her warmth.

"Isn't that why I'm here?"

I slipped my hand on her waist to pull her closer to me. This is the closest we could ever get. More than that will be when our clothes are cast off.

"Un. Make me fall for you."

Shio nodded. I could see my own reflection in her eyes. Right now, I'm the only one she's seeing.

"I'm already set at doing that even without you asking me."

Touching our foreheads together, I smiled and declared to Shio.

"Then do it."

Shio slipped her arm around my neck and pulled herself up. Her breasts were now fully pressed to me, she's not wearing any bra this time as I could feel it clearly even through our clothes.

"Alright. I hope you're prepared."

After saying that, I didn't wait for long anymore. Our lips naturally met each other.? With the desire to completely make her fall for me, Shio also has this desire to completely be taken in by me. I will do it. After tonight, she will stop being his wife.

Chapter 157: Miyazaki Shiori (1) *

"I remember when I first saw you, Shio."

I said before I took her lips into a kiss. It was trembling but at the same time it was waiting. Shio couldn't help but close her eyes to feel my lips as it overlapped hers.

This is not the first time we kissed but Shio seems to be more nervous this time. I parted her lips and took our kiss deeper. Her arm that was holding onto me tightened its hold.

"The first thing I noticed was your ring."

Continuing my sentence, Shio couldn't help but raise to see her ring finger that was previously adorned by her wedding ring. She removed it after they started to fight.

Maybe I'm also the catalyst of that fight. She's seemingly happy before our meeting. Once she was entangled with me, problems started to rise.

Seeing there's no more ring there, Shio put down her hand and looked me in the eye. Our lips separated briefly when I said that and I stopped to see her reaction.

"Why would it be the first thing you noticed? Not my face, not my figure but my ring."

Shio asked, confusion was clearly apparent on her face.

I didn't answer her immediately but instead, took her lips again and nibbled on it. She didn't resist and just waited for me to be satisfied to hear my answer.

"You know me before. I'm just keen on stealing someone's lover. You being married, I already put you in my eyes once I saw that ring."

"Idiot. The others saw my face first then my breasts but you…"

"I couldn't blame them, that's their priorities. Besides, my Shio was really beautiful and well-endowed as well."

"So your first priority was knowing if someone's taken or not?"

"Yes. But that was before. Now, it doesn't matter anymore. I will steal you no matter what."

I slid my hand from her sides which trembled as I passed through it to arrive at her butt. Shio was not wearing any skirt or pants right now, only her underwear, so when I reached it, I clearly felt her soft skin under the thin silk.

"You kept saying you'll steal me. But until now you haven't done it yet."

"Getting impatient, are we? Isn't that what I'll be doing tonight?" 𝐍𝗈𝑽𝖾𝓵𝓤𝑠𝒃.𝒞𝑂𝑚

I grabbed her butt and started fondling it. Its softness was too heavenly that I already wanted to go down there and rub my cheeks on it.

Shio gasped in slight surprise when I started doing that. She wriggled her body but in the end, she ended up hugging me tightly when I finally slid the thin silk covering it to touch it directly.

"Look at me Shio."

I called out to her. Her turquoise-blue eyes fluttered as it trained its gaze onto me. Her lips were already wet from the previous kisses and now add that reddish hint that's starting to fill her face, she looked erotic.

Kissing her again for the third time, I started using my tongue. Invading her mouth with it, Shio opened her mouth allowing it entry to meet her tongue. While my hand was busy kneading her supple butt, my tongue was trying to wriggle its way to entangle hers.

Not satisfied from it, I changed our position by turning my body to rest my back on the bed and Shio was lifted up to be on top of me.

She didn't seem to mind it as our tongues started their battle for supremacy. Taking this chance, my hand that was kinda restricted earlier was now freed. It immediately went to her other butt cheeks and started kneading it as well.

When she felt that, Shio moaned which allowed me to completely pull her tongue on mine, sucking it like a child, she was being attacked by me, be it down below and on top where she started to moan in pleasure.

However, Shio didn't want to go down without a fight. Pulling her tongue out of mine, she started sliding down to my neck while her eyes stared intently on me waiting to see me get flustered from what she's about to do.

Shio then lifted her body up as she completely sat on top of my growing bulge. To counter my still continuing attack on her butt she started grinding herself on top of it. And I watched on from down the bed as she started shaking her hips like that.

I stopped my hands and put it in front, grabbing the sides of her worn shirt, I lifted it up to reveal her smooth navel.

Shio, realizing my intention gave me a seductive smile while she slowly helped me lift her shirt off her.

From her navel, up until her two mountains which started to jiggle due to her continuing her endeavor to grind herself on top of me.

When she completely took off her shirt. Shio took my hands and put it on her mountains wordlessly telling me to knead it instead of her butt.

With her being this proactive, I didn't want to disappoint her. I lifted my upper body to put one of her nipples inside my mouth.

Turning into this position. Shio slipped her arms and circled it around my neck, pulling my head to be buried deep on her mountains.

I didn't mind it as I started playing on her nipple using my tongue, while my hand on her free breast was kneading and pinching her nipples at times.

"Ruru… Haahh."

Shio started calling out my name as she moaned out in pleasure. Though her hips never stopped moving, she was feeling it better when done directly like this.

Realizing that, I stopped what I'm doing to her and laid her down. Though confused, she waited for me to climb on top of her which I did.

Her problems weren't cleared up yet but this time, I don't want her to think any of it and only focus on me.

Starting with her forehead, down to her nose and then her lips. Shio was staring at me, waiting to see what I would do next.

From her lips down to her neck, I filled it with my kisses and then focused on the part with which her reaction was the greatest.

While doing that, my hand pulled down her last piece of clothing. Her underwear.

Opening up her legs, my hand went down to it and started caressing her already wet sacred place. From all the grinding that she did, not only did I get hard, Shio has also gotten wet.

With my hand rubbing her slit and my tongue focusing on her sensitive place in her neck, Shio started twitching and moaning in pleasure, she would often raise her back and wriggle her body to escape my hands.

Before that part of her neck was left with a kiss mark, I went down to her mountains. Her two erect nipples that were waiting for something to tease it.

I was watching her every reaction and so was she. Everything about her was already laid bare before me. Her body that only her husband had access before, I'll conquer it.

"What do you want me to do, Shio?"

I turned my gaze on her while my hand on her slit slid down to her opening. By teasing it with my forefinger, she kept twitching down there trying to swallow it inside.

"A-anything you want, Ruru. Please.. Uhhnn."

Slowly plunging my finger inside it, I felt it tightening on me as it started to pulsate quickly.

"That's too vague. Tell me. Specifically, what do you want me to do?"

As my finger completely submerged itself, Shio's hips made another twitch as she felt it moving along inside her.

"M-make me forget. Ruru. Take me."

With my finger inside her, I started moving it inside and out. She reached for my arm and pulled me closer to her.

Tired of being on the receiving end, Shio pulled down my head and started kissing me aggressively. This action of her was surely a way for her to divert her attention down below.

As my finger moved faster, another finger reached her clit and started teasing it along with the finger inside.

When she felt that, Shio immediately leaned back before locking our lips again to prevent another moan from escaping.

But yeah, that attempt was proven futile when I picked up the pace at which I'm fingering her. Determined to make her cum with just my fingers, Shio helplessly laid back down on the bed, biting her lips at the increasing pleasure that she was feeling.

She might be experienced but along with the thought of her doing it with someone that's not her lawfully wedded husband, the pleasure she was feeling multiplied.

Even if she wanted to forget what that guy did, it's unavoidable for it to surface in her mind now that we're in this situation.

A few minutes like that passed and Shio's lower body twitches uncontrollably as she reaches her first climax.

The soft walls of her pussy kept tightening on my finger as it tried to suck it in further inside.

"T-this is unfair, Ruru. I told you to take me."

She complained in between her breaths.

"How is it unfair? We're just starting, Shio. I told you, I'll make you mine tonight."

I smiled at her and pulled out my finger from inside her.

Shio pouted as she lifted her body up to reverse our positions. With her going on top of me, she mimicked what I did for her earlier. From my forehead to my nose and then my lips, Shio settled on it while her hands traveled down to my bulge. Slipping her hand inside it, she fully grasped my cock on her palm.

I let her do what she wanted as she started servicing me. Just like that day in the infirmary.

Shio released my lips and went down to my neck. Meanwhile, her hand started working as it stroked my cock from inside my pants.

It's already fully erect but with her caressing hand, it started to feel more pleasure. With every stroke of her, it made my urge to just take her down and plunge it inside her grow.

When she's finally satisfied with my neck, Shio lifted up my shirt and took it from me. From my neck, her tongue slid down to my chest then to my navel and in the end, she ended up on top of my bulge.

Only this time did she break gazes with me. Her eyes were now trained on my thing that she kept on stroking.

Putting her hand on both sides of my pants, Shio started pulling it down and took it off me.

The moment she did, my cock stood up and surprised her.

She already saw it once, put it between her mountains once and sucked on its head once.

Upon seeing it again, Shio couldn't help but gulp down her own saliva.

Putting her hand on it again, she resumed her strokes. Watching her concentrate on pleasuring me down there, it's surely too stimulating. The slightly strict teacher who everyone seems to be scared of was now down there stroking my cock and started kissing it.

"Shio…"

I called out to her and that took her attention, but instead of answering me, she smiled before opening her mouth. Her tongue then reached out and licked my cock from the base up to the tip. And she did that while looking at me.

Her reddened face was now devoid of the somewhat reluctant Shio from earlier. In her mind, she's probably already devoted to making me feel good.

"My turn to tease you, Ruru."

Saying that with her erotic voice. Shio's tongue started licking the head. From the tip of my cock, her tongue slid down to the frenulum and coated it with her own saliva. That part was so sensitive that every time her tongue touched it, I could feel immense pleasure. Seeing my reaction from it, it made her become more eager at making me feel good.

When her tongue went back to the tip, she opened her mouth wider and completely put the head inside it.

The feeling of her soft lips sliding through the head was so vivid that my hand reflexively held onto her head. Once the head was fully inside, she let it stay like that while her tongue started licking it from inside.

"Haahh. Shio…"

Feeling the pleasure from what she's doing, I couldn't help but moan and call out her name again.

When she heard that, I saw her eyes smile from it while she started to take it in further.

With only the head at first, her head moved down as it tried to completely swallow my cock in her mouth.

However, she stopped halfway.

I also didn't want to push her or it would be difficult for her.

She looked at me again as if asking if it's already fine. I nodded at her.

Once she had gotten my confirmation, Shio's head started moving slowly to give me a blowjob. Though slow at first, she increased the pace when she saw me not reacting to it when in fact I'm just holding it in. If I didn't, I might thrust my hips upwards to push my cock further inside her mouth.

As the pleasure built up, Shio also started stroking the part she couldn't take. With two sources of pleasure like that, I soon reached my limit.

Shio noticed and that made her more eager. Making me cum with her hand and mouth she started sucking me faster...

Though I tried holding it in, it was proven useless. My hips twitched and unconsciously thrust upward to release my cum inside her mouth.

Shio never let go of it as she tried to swallow everything, sucking the tip and stroking it further, she aimed to drain it all inside her.

Feeling all that pleasure, I slumped back down the bed while Shio started to climb back on top of me.

With her mouth closed and her cheeks bloated, I knew it's still there. With one gulp, Shio swallowed everything.

Her overly erotic face at this moment made my cock feel alive again. And this time, it wanted her.

Switching our positions once again, I aimed my cock that was still wet from her saliva to her wet pussy.

"Shio. After this, we can never be a teacher and student again."

I called out to her once more. Once we do it, there's really no turning back for us.

"I know. And I want that, you're more than just a student, Ruru. D-do it."

With Shio's acknowledgement, I stopped hesitating anymore as the tip of my cock slowly entered her.

Chapter 158: Miyazaki Shiori (2) *

While my cock was slowly sliding inside her, my eyes never left Shio's face. The way she reacted was all captured by me.

Halfway through, I could feel the walls of her pussy tighten up as if the place was still unexplored. Shio bit her lips while raising her arms to try and reach my shoulder.

I lowered my head a bit for her arms to reach me. Shio, after noticing that, immediately circled her arms around my neck and pulled me down to a kiss.

Using that opportunity, my cock pushed further inside her, burying itself completely. The warm feeling instantly enveloped me as the insides of Shio tightened as it tried to squeeze me.

At the same time as my cock reached her deepest part, Shio couldn't resist to moan as she let go of my lips, hearing it at this distance instantly turned me on. With my cock buried inside her, she was trying to adjust her hips by opening her legs wider. 𝑛𝒪𝚟𝑬𝑙𝗎𝓈𝒷.𝑐𝗈𝑀

With my arms supporting it, I raised her legs by holding it from under her knees. Shio instantly reddened when I did that as if it was an embarrassing pose for her.

"Shio. I'm going to move."

I whispered to her ears. She's still holding onto my neck so she kissed me again as a sign of her consent before whispering her small instruction.

"B-be gentle."

Her husband probably couldn't reach this deep inside her. From how tight it was, even without moving, Shio will squeeze my cum out by herself if given time.

Heeding her instruction, I slowly raised my hips, pulling my cock halfway. When she almost sighed in relief I pushed it down again by thrusting as hard as I could.

Shio couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise which immediately changed into her moans as my hips started pounding her like that without slowing down.

With every thrust of my hips, Shio's pussy will try to hold onto it but every time, it will just let my cock grind on her insides giving both of us the same amount of pleasure.

"Aahh… Ruru… Haahhh… I told you to… Hhnn… be gentle."

Shio's words in between her moans only encouraged me to do her further. My hand that was holding her legs up let go of it, not to let it drop down but to raise it further by putting down my arms on her side by using the bed as support.

Shio blushed profusely with her fully erotic face when her hips were raised higher. Seeing that look on her, it made me more eager to make her feel good. From the earlier pace of pulling out halfway before going in again, it changed to only pulling out a bit before pounding as if trying to dig deeper inside her.

Her arms now couldn't maintain her hold onto me because of the pleasure. Instead, her hands started grabbing at the sides of the bed.

Raising my body while my cock was continuing to go in and out of her. I called out to her.

"Shio. Like this, you can see where we are connected."

Hearing my words, Shio looked down and saw how my cock was pumping inside her. She stared at it for a full minute, watching how my cock was entering her.

Continuing that pace for a few minutes. Shio was already a bit disoriented as she finally reached her second climax of the night

"Aahhnn... A-again… uhh."

The way her pussy tightened up on me when she climaxed was so good that her uncontrolled twitching of her hips lets me grind into her walls further increasing the pleasure we both feel.

After that, we changed positions. I went down to her side and raised one of her legs. Inserting it like that. I started fucking Shio again while my hands were on her breasts, pinching her nipples for further stimulation.

The way her body moves this time was encouraging. She now tried to match my pace as she held onto my arm.

Every time Shio climaxed, we will change our position. From the side, I moved behind her. Raising her butt higher, she inserted my cock by herself. Her plump butt jiggled each time I hit her deepest parts and the lewd sounds coming from it instantly filled this room.

The bed was already wet from all her spilled love nectar but my cock was even wetter as it kept plunging into her without rest. If I'm not stopping whenever she climaxed I might've already shot my semen inside her.

I want her to remember this night. Giving her more climax will be a reason for her to always remember our first night.

When she climaxed again. Shio pulled me down and climbed on top of me.

"Ruru, it's already good enough. Cum with me."

Whispering these words as her pussy slowly swallowed my cock. I could see where we're connected. With her on top of me this time. She ought to do the work by herself and make me cum by her own effort.

"Then make me."

Her turquoise-blue eyes shined in determination as she nodded and started moving her hips on top of me. When her slightly disheveled hair started covering her face, I reached my hand to it and fixed it. Shio smiled when she saw that but that smile partnered with her erotic face right now just made her extremely sexy.

When she picked up her pace and started moving faster, I reached my hand on her butt and raised my knee to prop my feet up.

Seeing that, Shio knew that I will now move along with her. With every thrust of her hips, it will also be met by a thrust of my hips.

With that kind of pace. Shio's moans never stopped and soon she dropped down onto me and kissed me to avoid her voice to rang out loud.

By moving our hips faster, my cock kept on grinding and plunging on her. By doing that for a few minutes with the same pace, we finally both reached our climax.

Shio with one final thrust of her hips down moaned out as her lower body twitches uncontrollably. And at the same time, with the final thrust, the pleasure from fucking Shio finally let me reach my limit. Shooting out everything inside her while her insides kept on squeezing everything out.

When we both calmed down, Shio's body dropped back down on top of me. Her eyes staring intently into my eyes.

"Ruru..."

Shio weakly called out to me, she's still trying to catch her breath after that one final sprint we had, she really exhausted herself.

"Hmm?"

Her face after sex was still truly erotic. That reddened cheeks and her lips that were swollen a bit from our excessive kissing. One of her ears was also red from how I nibbled at it during that one position.

"I... finally did it… with you."

With slight pauses, Shio completed her sentence. Right. We finally did it. After how many times I restricted myself. This could have happened early if I let her be indulged in her fantasy. But yeah this was always better. To feel her true feelings and no fantasy involved.

"Yes, you did. It was amazing Shio."

I kissed her again and her tongue immediately followed. Locking our lips again with my cock still inside her. It will surely get me another reaction. But that's for later.

"After everything was resolved. Let me stay with you."

She pondered for a bit before finally saying these words.

"Un. You're mine now Shio. But it might be bad for you if you stay here. If the school finds out…"

For a teacher and a student to live together. Even if I argue, it will get her in trouble. And it's inappropriate here. This isn't my house. I'm still living off of my parents.

"Y-you're right. Then I'll get a place near here. You can stay over whenever you miss me or when I miss you."

Shio's face reddened again when she said her last sentence. The thought of me staying over where there will only be the two of us. There's no more trace of the strict teacher the class fears. This is Shio's real face and I'm glad I got to see it.

"I'd love that. But Shio. I will still let you decide what you really want to do. Just know that, I'm here. I won't let him hurt you again."

If she will ever file a divorce that will be her decision, I will not ask her to do anything. But if she needs my support I will always come running for her.

"Un. Thank you, Ruru."

Shio kissed me again after saying thank you. She's more used at this now. Maybe we might bring this habit in school…

Err… there's still her room there. We just have to make an excuse from time to time.

"Actually, I saw his car earlier at school."

Right. I have to tell her. She will know it anyway. Her husband probably tried to call her and when she wouldn't answer he went to our school to find her or even find the student that was with her.

"Did you see him?"

Shio suddenly had a hint of worry on her face. Afraid that I might be in trouble. Maybe for her, her husband was still powerful as an adult.

"No. But I left a note on it. He will surely read it."

He's really an idiot if he didn't read it.

"What did you…"

Still with the worry, I kissed Shio to calm her down.

"Don't worry it's nothing threatening. I just want him to stop bothering you and Nao. Was he ever a good husband to you, Shio?"

For him to stop bothering them. Right. I have to threaten him. I will confront him soon and if he wouldn't accept it, then it's easy to let the authority come down to him.

"I… I feel like I woke up from my fantasy when I heard the words he said that night."

Shio's eyes dropped down as if she's remembering a bad memory.

"I see. You couldn't remember because, for you, it was all a happy memory that you don't know what's real or not."

She believed that her marriage was perfect. With a perfect husband like that. But that night changed her worldview.

"He was responsible at least. But now that I think about it. His kind smile stopped after we became married. We will have nights like this yes, but that was just him relieving himself…"

So, he already lost interest with her after she graduated? But he couldn't get out of it. Was he threatened by her parents? Most possibly. Their innocent daughter being done in by her teacher? It's already good that they didn't report him immediately. They considered Shio's feelings.

"I see. It was an amazing experience with you Shio. Can't you feel it? I'm hard again for you."

It will never be a night just for relieving for them. For me, it was to let them feel what I really feel for them. Maybe back then, I'm doing it to remind them that they're mine but now, it's to let them feel what I really feel for them and maybe that's how it is for them as well.

"Naughty student."

Shio pinched my nose, before dropping a kiss again.

"We're not that anymore. We crossed the line."

No more teacher and student boundary between us. We're just Ruru and Shio now.

"Right. Ruru…"

Shio called out to me lovingly. This tone…

"What is it Shio?"

I matched it and waited for what she would say.

"I couldn't really say those words yet but I'm happy it's you."

Giving me her most beautiful smile, Shio managed to fork those words out.

"I understand Shio. I feel it anyway. That's enough."

There's no need to push her to say it. Just by her act, I could feel that I was already lifted in her heart.

"Un. Tomorrow, how should we act?"

Err… she's worrying how to act tomorrow. Does that mean she wouldn't be able to control herself if she saw me in class?

"Just the same. But can you really teach now?"

I'm still worried since her problem hasn't really been resolved yet.

"Resting today made me recover. And tonight with you here, I feel like I can go on again."

Shio nodded and gave me a reassuring smile.

"I'm happy to hear that. For the meantime, leave him to me. Nao asked me to resolve it properly so I'll do that first but if that's not enough. I might use some methods you won't like."

Talk to him man to man? He will surely only rage and not listen. Err… Should I skip the steps and just beat him up before reporting him to the Ministry and the Police? But yeah, I don't really want to implicate Shio. As her husband and his former student, she will surely be dragged by it.

I'm sure there's a method where he will just back away. But Nao. Should I really let her stay at that school? Her home was near and her parents…

Let's first see what will happen.

"I'll help you. You shouldn't carry all of it by yourself. I… I will talk to my parents first to ask them what really happened back then."

Ah. She wanted to know if what she heard was true. If it is, she'll probably resolve herself to file that divorce.

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, maybe next time when everything's clear, I'll take you to them."

Shio shook her head. She doesn't want me to be dragged in as well. If I come with her, they will just attribute it as their daughter taking in a student as her lover.

"Alright. Then one more, Shio."

I nodded and before the night deepens…

"Naughty Ruru. O-one more time."

Shio smiled seductively. My cock was still inside her so… I raised my body up and put us into sitting position before putting her down again without pulling it out of her.

And after just a few minutes, Shio's moans filled the room once again.

Chapter 159: How to deal with him?

After one more round with Shio, she fell back on the bed, exhausted but with a satisfied smile on her face. She then turned her body towards me and used my chest as her pillow while her legs were clinging onto me.

For her to show me this adorable side of hers, this is probably the one that she would only show to those she was really comfortable to.

"Ruru..."

Shio called out softly. She's still catching her breath while resting comfortably on my chest

"What is it?"

I answered her. My arms already circled around her and pulled her closer. I will leave later, so this much is fine.

"…About your future."

Shio answered.

Ah. I know. She's still worried about that. That impossible future.

I reached for her hair and caressed it as I corrected her.

"Our future. I want my Shio in it."

Though I want them all to be in it, I know that's a tall order. Maybe halfway through, some will drop out and I have no right to stop them.

"… I want to, but will you really be fine? As an adult I…"

The worry in her voice couldn't be hidden. As an adult, she has already seen how hard it is so, she wanted to remind me again.

"I know. In your eyes, it will be impossible to realize what I want."

I accepted that fact way before but that's not a reason to give up

Shio looked up to me and hurriedly shook her head.

"That's not…"

"It's fine to think like that. You've already seen the world as an adult. You might think I'm naively working towards a goal that will never be realized. But Shio. My mind wouldn't change."

Right. She kept advising me about how hard it is to be an adult, that we will face hardships when that time comes.

"You're stubborn like that."

Shio released a soft sigh.

"Yes, I am… Even if it's hard, I'll strive for it. Ah no. We will strive for it. The girls will all help, well, those who will stay at least. I told them that they can ask to leave and there will be no problem. It's their future so even if they're mine right now, I don't have any right to decide it for them."

Well except for the others who I don't really want to lose. Akane, Haruko, Yae.

Others will still have that choice. Maybe somewhere down the road, some will wake up to notice that my goal is unrealistic. They will have that choice if they really decide to. I won't hold them back if they really choose to leave.

Shio nodded as she tried to understand what I'm trying to say.

"I see. The decision still lies with us."

I lifted her head to have her look at me.

"Shio also has that choice. As much as I want you to be in it, I will respect your decision. Just tell me and…"

She put a finger on my lips to stop me from talking.

"Stop that. I didn't say I don't want to."

"… Right. Well, that's that. I might not have a solid plan for now, I'm still naive and there's a lot of things I don't know yet, so I'm learning."

Am I really learning though? Haa. With all these issues I want to meddle in, it might look like I'm not learning anything. But ever since the change in me, I'm already taking in whatever it is that I see in my surroundings.

I'm not that guy who has a narrow view anymore. At each step, I now look from left to right and back before continuing.

"… Then if there's something you want to know. Ask me."

After a minute of silence, Shio opened her mouth. She's probably thinking about what she could do for me.

"That I will."

I smiled at her and even if we've already done it a lot of times, I kissed her to convey what I'm feeling for her.

When Shio fell asleep, I put the blanket on her and quietly moved back to our room.

Akane turned around as soon as she felt me beside her. Like always she didn't say anything and just made herself comfortable in my arms.

Just like that, I also soon fall asleep to wait for tomorrow.

When the morning comes and we're already prepared for the new day, Shio tries to give me a ride. I rejected her since it will definitely look suspicious if I arrive at school in her car.

Sending her off, Akane and I bid her farewell before we go on our way to the station.

"What are your plans for today, husband?"

Akane asked to break the silence as we walked towards the station.

"Ah. There's no particular plan but I might confront Shio's husband somewhere."

Right. He will show up soon so…

I have to check on Nao. Shio will be at school, I can go to her easily if that guy does something reckless.

"Then you better take care. You know how many will worry if something happened to you."

Akane reminded me as she reached for my hand.

I turned to her and gave her a reassuring smile.

"I know. Nothing will happen, we still have that dinner with your parents, right?"

"Yes. Mom even reminded me to take you with me."

Aunt Akemi, even if she's a former-delinquent, she's always a worrywart.

"She's worrying over nothing. Ah. Right. I will once again ask them for your hand."

That's something that should be done once more. Maybe I will go to Haruko and Yae too.

"Eh? They've already given it."

"Over the phone? That's not enough. I want to do it properly. To show them how I really want you to stay with me."

Of course, Aunt Akemi will have complaints again. With how many girls I brought home, she probably accurately counted it from their window.

Err… I couldn't blame her for that. She's just concerned for her daughter after all.

Akane and I separated again from the station. Even if it's now a habit, she was still full of reluctance whenever we parted. That part of her will never change. Just like how her love for me never changed since we're young.

When I arrived at the classroom Nami was the first one to greet me as she came over from her seat. This girl turned back to that confident observer girl now. Even if someone will notice how close we are now, she wouldn't be bothered by it anymore.

Err… maybe as long as it's not Ogawa who was looking. That's who she liked for so long, just like Satsuki but unlike her, Nami didn't really feel love towards Ogawa. Only like.

That's why when she started spending her time with me, she started seeing the flaws in him.

Ah. Why am I worrying over him? Nami's already mine. And he's not here yet anyway.

After that greeting, Nami went back to her seat, satisfied. Aya also greeted me and commented on how I look refreshed.

Err. Am I really refreshed? I stayed up late with Shio last night.

"Un. It seems some of your burdens were lifted."

Aya added before she went back to her book.

Ah. She must be talking about how I let myself be relaxed last night. It might have really lifted the sense of urgency I was feeling. I keep walking around these days but after that and realizing how much they were worried about me, I already unconsciously lifted that up.

"It's thanks to your reminder, Aya. Thank you." 𝐍𝗈𝑽𝖾𝓵𝓤𝑠𝒃.𝒞𝑂𝑚

"Uhm it's not only me who reminded you, right?"

"But still, you're part of it."

"Uhh. Then treat me later."

Ah. This is probably her way to say she wanted to spend time with me.

"Alright."

I smiled at her before bringing out Kana's novel. Two chapters left before I finished it so I devoted the remaining time to read it properly before discussing it again with Aya.

When Shio arrived at the classroom after the bell rang, I saw her look at me and smiled bashfully before she was bombarded by questions about 'How is she feeling now?' or 'What happened to her?' by the other students.

If they knew she was with me at my bed last night, what would their reaction be?

Though it probably went unnoticed by most of them, her smile was picked up by the girls beside me. Satsuki alternatively looked between me and Shio while Aya also looked at me as if she's trying to see what's my reaction from that.

There's no use hiding it from them so I nodded as confirmation to their wordless question.

Nami already noticed my connection with Shio way before so it didn't really come as a surprise for her.

Since Shio was here, that meant her husband still hasn't shown up. It's too early and what I wrote there will not immediately lure him out. Maybe tomorrow? Or later? Either way, I already prepared myself for it

Finishing her class like normal, the 1st period with Shio ended without any problems on her part. It's as if the problem she was having was left behind somewhere. Seeing her teaching like that, it also put me at ease.

The next periods after that also went by uneventfully.

And so the lunch break arrived again.

When the bell rang, I immediately went out of the room to call and check on Nao. After hearing her voice and her confirmation that Shio's husband was not there, I went out of the School Building to see his car arriving.

"Ah. He's here."

Shio was probably at her room back in the Administration Building, resting. If he confronts her there, they will surely make a commotion so I have to stop him.

After messaging Nami about how I might not be able to come for our lunch, my feet took me to where he parked his car.

He's still inside so I waited for him to get off.

Upon seeing me, his calm mood was immediately replaced with anger.

"To have the guts to show up like this. Kid. Doyou think you can threaten me with that?"

Though he hadn't shouted, his voice couldn't contain all his anger.

"Oh? You've read my letter. Then what are you still doing here?"

What I wrote there was simple. I told him to stop going here and leave Shio alone or else, his career as a teacher will be over.

I deliberately left out Nao since he still has no idea as to what's my relationship with her. I wanted him to think like this.

That I don't really have any evidence to support my claim.

Also, I asked Nao that if he contacted her, she has to act normal, to make him believe that she's still his. But she should refuse if he asked to see her.

"I wouldn't be scared of that. You don't have any evidence."

"Really? Do you want to try it now?"

I smiled mysteriously and that immediately irked him.

He then laughed like a crazy maniac. Fully confident that I don't have it in me.

"Go on. Let's see if you can still hold onto your bluff."

I took out my phone and acted like I'm dialing someone. But then I stopped and sighed.

"Haa... Do you really want us to talk here? For him to hear what I'm about to report?"

I pointed to the person coming out of the Administration Building.

Well, I also need to get him out of this place to deal with him somewhere.

Seeing the approaching person, he clicked his tongue and went back to his car. No matter how brave he is, if someone hears what we're talking about, it will really spell trouble for him.

That's why after seeing I'm still standing from where I am, he lowered his car window and shouted at me.

"Get in!"

Alright. Even if I became late for the next period. I have to deal with this guy now. It won't be simple I know. But… if he can be reasoned with to quietly move away from Shio and Nao then all is good. If not… I might not really report him, however, there are other ways to make someone be scared for their life.

Before getting in his car, I messaged Nao to be ready and told her the situation.

Chapter 160: Making him Back Off

"Say. Does it have to be high school girls?"

I broke the silence when we're already out of the vicinity of the school. He's still gritting his teeth as if he would bite anytime.

Of course, he will be this angry if I'm threatening his livelihood as well as his hobby.

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?"

Through gritted teeth, that's the only thing he could say in response.

"No. I mean. Why are you targeting high school girls? You already have a wife who you got from it but you still continued?"

Because he's a pedo, of course. Someone with a high school girl fetish. Through this rage of his, he didn't even notice that I'm already recording this conversation.

"I didn't intend on getting a wife through it. Once they graduate, I'll let them go. But Shiori…"

But Shio dragged you to meet her parents. Just how many have he victimized already? Did he only get one and will only change after they graduated or he's keeping a number of them as reserves?

"I see. You're really a bastard, aren't you? Do you not fear to be caught? How many have you preyed upon already?"

"What? There's no evidence. Even if they trace it back to Shiori, I married her during her college."

Ah, so that's what he will use to defend himself in Shio's case. Well, maybe her case was really a bit weak now that she became an adult and that they were wed during her college.

He also didn't answer my question as to how many. This guy is quite cautious but not cautious enough. He should have stayed silent.

"I see. So you will still insist on your habit."

"I don't need you to talk me out of it."

His voice became calm now. His rage was finally dispersed. That's why he could brush away my questions easily.

"Haa. Then can you release Shiori?"

I sighed and asked him.

"She's my wife. Even if I don't want that marriage, she's mine, so back off."

He grinned as if he already won. If I told him I bedded his wife last night, will he go back to raging?

Ah. But I decided not to bother her with this, I could settle this by myself.

"This guy. Do you know why I'm talking to you like this?"

"What? You thought you could threaten me again with your bluff?"

That's where his confidence at dealing with me comes from, eh?

"Why are you so confident that I am bluffing?"

Keep that grin on your face for now. It'll be funny to see the change in your expression later.

"Because you don't have anything but a statement from Shiori."

After saying that, he parked his car somewhere desolate. He picked a good place for his beating, eh?

"I see. Will this be enough to scare you?"

I took out my phone and played a video. In it was Nao in her school uniform. This was taken by her yesterday and was sent to me today. She sat in front of the camera and started talking

"I'm Akiyama Nao, currently a 3rd-year high school student at Third High School. Sawatari Nobuo was my advisor during my 1st year. One day, he asked me if I needed an extra lesson which I agreed. By showing his kind smile and his favourable treatment to me, I eventually fall in love with him…"

I paused the video at that part and looked at his slowly changing expression from the state of disbelief to exasperation.

"T-that's. Why do you have that? What did you do to Nao?!"

"That's not the right question, you know? Do you want me to continue the video or not?"

I smirked and pointed my finger to the play button on the screen.

I don't want to use blackmail with any of my girls anymore but if it's to protect them, then I won't hesitate. I should give Nao a reward for this later, that girl really turned back to me after that night.

No matter what this guy did to her, in the end she's always mine.

Ah, what should I do? Should I let him continue his habit and steal from him again?

That would be a hassle and as long as he's near, Shio or Nao wouldn't be comfortable.

"...What the hell do you want?"

With a low volume of his voice, every word he uttered ended in a strong note.

But no matter what his reaction, I stayed calm and processed everything that happened.

"I already told you. Leave Shio alone. Ah and also Nao. She's not yours anymore. Leave this area. I don't care where you will go as long as you stop buzzing around Shio or Nao."

Well, that's the idea but will he accept? Will he really let him be pushed away like this?

Of course. He'll fight back.

"Heh.? So you want them for yourself? I guess we're alike in that sense. But you. You're just a kid who doesn't know anything."

He sniggered and laughed like a maniac.

I knew he would act like this. Haa. I should've started with beating that handsome face of his, eh? That way he wouldn't be able to snag another young girl. After that, report him and have him arrested.

"Alike? I'm not a pedophile like you who dresses my girls into the same image I preferred. Say, is Shio the first one to don that image or there's a girl before her?"

"Pedophile? Don't lump at the same level as those trash!"

He didn't answer again. In any case, this guy. He's hopeless. He put himself in his own category.

"But you are. Both a pedophile and a trash."

I smirked and worked on my phone. Not minding how aggrieved he was already.

"Watch your mouth, kid."

Just how long can he hold himself back? And does he think he still has some sort of advantage towards me?

"What? Do you want to have a go? Let's go down and let me give you some lesson that you wouldn't be able to teach anyone."

Right. A lesson on how to get beaten up properly. If there's a subject like that, who would enroll?

"Just because you're good at brawling doesn't mean you'll always prevail."

His voice turned cold as he reached for something inside the glove compartment of his car.

I see. So he has something like that.

"Haa. What? Do you have a gun or a knife there? Take it out. Do you plan on threatening me with it? To erase what I have? Go on."

I sighed and acted tough. It's a bit dangerous now but I have to discourage him from using that. No matter how fast or good I am, if that was really a gun then this will turn bad.

"This kid..."

His hand froze as if deliberating whether he would continue taking out what he's hiding or not.

With that unknown point. I shouldn't show any weaknesses right now. Even if I'm scared. Which is I am. I have to show him how calm I am despite being threatened.

"So what will it be? My patience is limited. Should I just continue playing this?"

I brought up my phone again and showed the screen where Nao's video was paused.

Shio's husband went silent for a few minutes but his hand never left the compartment. His face was already starting to sweat despite the cool air-conditioning of this car.

I already heard the sound of the metal clinking in it, so it's quite clear to me that it's either a knife or really a gun. If this guy loses it, I'll do my best to survive…

Luckily, rationality took over him. He sighed and closed the compartment before asking. 𝓷𝔬𝑣𝑒𝐥𝗎𝑠𝓑.𝚌𝑜𝔪

"… If I did what you asked. What kind of guarantee can you give me?"

Hearing that, I sighed in relief inside my mind. But I kept my confident expression on my face.

"You still haven't done anything yet and you're already asking for a guarantee? Let's see. Divorce Shio first. Ah no. Scratch that, she will approach you for that when she finally decides."

I raised my voice a bit to mask my unsettlement from what could have happened if he lost his rationality.

"Divorcing her?… Alright."

Since he didn't really have a choice and that's something he also wanted in the future, it was easy for him to swallow it.

"Stay away. Never contact them again. Not Shio, not Nao. Request for a transfer somewhere far away. You know, if I let you stay near and I find out you're still doing the same, I won't hesitate to put your ass in the jail."

Hearing my next set of instructions, he paused and seemingly trembled from containing his anger. His face is too dark right now that he might erupt soon.

"Where are you getting this confidence from? You're just a kid."

"I am a kid. However, I have evidence that can indict you. What? You know, you can refuse everything. If I'm not thinking about Shio and Nao, I wouldn't be talking here with you."

It's to not let them be bothered by this. Yes. It's easy to turn to authority, but how long will that take? They will surely be both called to testify at the court and be troubled by all the official procedures. When everything ends, it will be like a stain on their name. If this guy quietly leaves then that wouldn't be needed anymore and they could continue in their life, with me.

Well, even if not with me. They still have that choice after all.

"… What guaran--"

Before he could finish his sentence, I cut him off and dared him.

"Didn't you hear me? Talk about that after you've done something. Or you can try and shoot with that gun of yours. Or if that's not a gun, I'm just here, you can stab me anytime you want."

His mind has already surrendered, so the possibility is already low but it's still there. Despite saying those in full confidence, I'm really scared for my life. I still wanted to see that silly smile on Akane's face, Haruko's silent concession and her affection when we're alone, Yae's adorable competitiveness, Kana's cute moments, Satsuki's tsundere acts, Aya's timidness, Ria's observant trait and her way of calling me Dumb-senpai, Aoi's unruliness, Nami's scary observer skills, Miwa-nee and our son Minoru, Sena's determined attitude, Otoha who was slowly stepping away from her insecurity, Himeko's desire to change for her to be accepted by her father, Shio with all her different sides, Nao who I still haven't repaid the 2 years I have forgotten her and Rae who still have a lot to teach me and a lot to learn from me.

"…You're not normal."

In the end, he still couldn't muster his courage to do it. He's an intellectual. He's handsome as well despite his age. He wouldn't want to risk everything only to end up worse than what I was using to have him back off. If he went for a normal relationship, he could get anyone he wanted to. As long as it's not my girls, he should know better now.

"I get that a lot."

I shrugged and made myself comfortable on the passenger seat. I closed my eyes and remembered all of their faces and how will they act if something bad really went down here.

"Drive me back to school. Also, give me your contact. That way I can check on you if you've done what I asked. You're a crafty man, Nobuo. And wise too, so I expect you to not become so desperate."

I reminded him again. He already conceded and will follow my demands for now, but what about the future?

I'll let him remember these traits of his. Push his mind away from Nao and Shio.

"What's your name?"

He asked when we're back on the road that will lead to the school. There's no point for him being adamant. He already lost, even with anger welling up inside him, he wouldn't be able to act upon it again, as long as I have these pieces of evidence I got for his misdeeds.

"That's none of your business. Just step away from their lives and we're good."

I confidently said before the car went back into silence.

In the end, I didn't even need to call Nao to reinforce that video. Well, that's good, I'll inform her that everything went well. Shio too when I see her in school.
