Chapter 193: Keychain

Because of how exhausted Akane and Yae became last night, I managed to wake up first.

Err… that was because it took me a bit longer to cum and due to that, both of them experienced a prolonged pounding wherein they cum at least 5 times each. Also, they both rode on me instead of letting me be on top of them.

Even now, they're clinging onto me while still naked under our blanket. In fact, even if I didn't put on a blanket, they're already using our body heat to warm themselves up.

After making sure not to wake them, I carefully stood up and put the blanket over them again. I might be living a satisfying life now but to continue this, we have to realize that future.

Some may be convinced that it's already enough to have an episode like this in their life but that's not me. I wanted to continue being with them. Not just with a simple reason of lust for each other but because I really want to spend my days with them.

I kissed both of their foreheads and fixed their sleeping posture before going down to the kitchen. Since I will be going out again for Satsuki, I decided to prepare breakfast for them.

It's been a while so I made a lot and made it a bit special for the girls and also for Minoru.

And soon enough, one by one, they started descending down the stairs, guided by the aroma of what I was preparing for them.

Due to that, we had a satisfying breakfast that Yae and Akane kept praising which eased up their slight grievance from finding out that I didn't wake them up.

Hours passed by while doing our daily routines such as the household chores and the exercise in which Yae joined us. We also did homework first with Yae helping us to answer some of it.

When I left the house, Yae was with me. Well, I might be out until late in the afternoon so she decided to go home now so that I could send her to the station. Akane sent us off while I reminded her to take care later, Aunt Akemi told me that she will take Akane to accompany her in shopping after lunch.

After talking to Aya, Akane got more information about Satsuki and Nami. Something even I didn't know about and only heard in passing whenever they talked about their middle school experience. They all came from the same middle school and Aya was watching from a third-person perspective, the things she could notice were different from them.

After hearing that, she expressed that she also wanted to meet them soon.

Err… Satsuki said she will after the game but for Nami, it still depended on the progress of our relationship.

When Yae and I reached the station, like with Aya yesterday, I followed her up to the train platform to send her off before turning around to the opposite platform. With the plan she shared yesterday which she also told Akane this morning, she became more enthusiastic to improve it despite our reminders that she shouldn't overdo it.

Well, she will always show it to me anyway. That's better than letting her become too occupied with what she wanted to do for me like before. Now that they allied themselves together with Haruko. I felt like some kind of silent war was slowly brewing up on the surface.

They all kept talking about how they didn't want to be surpassed by my new girls such as Kana, Aya and those they haven't met yet like Satsuki and Nami.

After 30 minutes of the train ride and another 10 minutes of walking, I arrived at the cake shop where I'm supposed to meet Satsuki. It was still devoid of people like last week.

"Welcome! Oh? Your girlfriend's not with you?"

The owner asked upon seeing me entering the shop. Looks like she remembered us and of course, she's talking about Satsuki.

"Ah. We agreed to meet here, she'll be here soon. I'm just too early, I guess? Anyway owner, thank you for your help last week."

We got to enjoy our time here last week because of the assist from the owner. I remembered how adorable Satsuki was and it's something I always want to see.

"What are you talking about? I'm always fond of sweet couples like you two. So treat that as a service. And I'll provide service again when she arrives."

The owner smiled and even winked at me.

"Err… alright. Thank you, we'll be ordering later, is that fine?"

"Sure. I'll bring you drinks in a second."

There are still around 30 minutes to our agreed time so I went to the spot where we sat last week and took out my phone. With my messenger always full of unread messages, I went through it one at a time. It's not just an obligation anymore as I also wanted to be updated on what's happening to them while we're apart.

When I opened Nami's message, I was surprised at what she told me. Shizu-senpai finally opened up to her when she visited her again last Friday. She told me how Shizu-senpai said that it was because of my urging. Due to that, Nami became more thankful to me. She ended her message saying she wanted to see me today if possible.

Err… I also want to see her but I already planned for this day ever since hearing about Satsuki's practice game.

There's no point to lie so I replied to her that I will be at the school to watch Satsuki and the Basketball Club's practice game.

After 5 minutes, Nami's reply arrived. She asked me if it's fine for her to come and see the game as well.

Satsuki was somehow looking forward to us being alone again but for both of them, I'll ask her opinion when she arrives.

Sending that as my reply, Nami replied immediately only saying four words. 'I miss you, Ruki.'

Followed by another message, 'That's the real reason why I want to see you.'

I couldn't help but smile after reading that. Nami could be said to be someone who didn't often express her emotion, if not for my constant teasing during our lunchtime, she would just silently stay with me or talk about other things such as her observations.

But when she did show it, it would always be her heartfelt emotion. Just like that time when she admitted that she already fell in love with me in front of Shizu-senpai.

I immediately typed in my reply and said, 'If nothing came up later in the afternoon, I'll go see you.'.

It was also met with an immediate reply of 'Yes!'.

I planned to take Satsuki out to celebrate if they win or to console her if they lose. Maybe after that, I could go and see Nami.

Still, I'll ask Satsuki if it's fine for Nami to come, just like what I first answered.

Around 10 minutes later, Satsuki, in her varsity jacket for the Basketball Club arrived at the cake shop, she had a bag with her which surely contains her basketball jersey and clothes and footwear she would change into later.

Looking from afar she really looks like someone who fitted in the sports world. With her attractive face and gorgeous figure, she could also pass as a model if she dressed herself more feminine.

Well, for me she's already fine as she is.

Today, her shoulder-length brown hair was tied to her back while letting the fringes of her hair fall off naturally. Though she was expressionless upon entering, when she saw me waving at her, her pursed lips instantly broke into a smile and her enticing brown eyes also seemed like they're smiling upon seeing me.

After greeting the owner, Satsuki swiftly came to our table and sat next to me instead of in front.

Compared to the first time we went here, Satsuki was no longer restraining herself and even if the owner told her that her boyfriend has been waiting for her, she just nodded at her while keeping that smile.

From afar, I could see that owner enjoying herself watching how close we are.

"Were you waiting?"

"I just arrived. Don't listen to the owner."

"Liar, that coffee has already turned cold."

Satsuki pointed at the cup in front of me. Err… I forgot to drink that coffee which the owner gave when I was busy replying to the messages.

I took her hand that was pointing at it and clasped it in me.

"Err… Don't mind it. It's insignificant now that you're here."

Though she's unconvinced, Satsuki could only drop the topic and inched closer to me.

"Give me your hand, Ruki."

"It's already holding yours, you know?"

"Not this one, your other hand."

"I don't really get it but here."

Like she asked, I lifted my hand and put it on the table. Upon seeing that, Satsuki took out something from her pocket and put it in my palm.

I looked at it before turning to her.

"It's a hobby that no one knows, making key chains. Put it in your phone. I made us a matching design."

Satsuki took out her phone and showed me the same keychain attached to it. I noticed the keychains in her room before but I only thought she was collecting them. Now I knew everything was made by her.

Looking at the keychain, its design was that of a canned lemonade.

Err... That event really became something memorable for us that it even inspired her to make something like this.

"Do you want lemonade?"

I teased her and that earned me a punch to my shoulder.

"Pervert. You're teasing me again."

"Well, that's what started us, thank you for this Satsuki."

I smiled and attached the keychain to my phone like she asked. After doing that we put our phones next to each other.

Right. It now looks like it's a couple's phone and seeing that made Satsuki's face even brighter. If Akane saw this she would surely be a bit jealous.

"Un. I want to make more memories with you."

With her showing me this side of her, I couldn't help but reach in to kiss her.

"I'm sure we will."

Chapter 194: The Meeting with Sakuma

"Ah. Sakuma already met Setsuna-nee."

Satsuki mentioned while we were eating the cakes we ordered. There's also another heart-shaped sliced that was given by the owner.

"Really? What happened?"

"Un. Setsuna-nee arrived yesterday and she quickly went out to see him at their house. As to what happened to their meeting, I didn't ask."

Does that mean her sister still likes him? I haven't met her yet but considering how she gave up Sakuma for Satsuki's wish, she's like someone who can abandon you without a second thought.

However, this action from her to see him first thing after arriving…

"Your sister, does she still like him?"

"I don't know… Even I found it strange for her to do that. Ever since Sakuma stopped coming to our house, she only asked me about him but never met him again."

"Hmm... Something probably changed for her to meet him this time. Anyway, will he come?"

What could it be, I wonder? Well, if it's Sakuma I might be able to extract it from his mouth.

"After waiting this long, I will really be disappointed if he still doesn't come."

"Well, that's how he is. But I'm sure he'll come."

"Let's hope so… Ugh. Slow down at feeding me, idiot."

Satsuki grumbled when I continued feeding her small slices of cake that had already accumulated on her cheeks, bloating it. In fact, I'm quite amazed that she still continued to answer me.

And I was honestly enjoying watching her struggle at my insistence of feeding her more.

"Why? It's because you won't chew it. Look how cute you are now."

I took my phone that now has the lemonade keychain dangling from it to shoot a photo of Satsuki's face before showing it to her.

"… You're always like this, idiot."

"And you love this idiot, right?"

"Ugh. Alright, shut up and eat this for me."

After chewing and gulping down what accumulated on her cheeks, Satsuki menacingly smiled at me. She picked up the whole slice of the heart-shaped cake and lifted it in front of me.

"We're supposed to share that, you know?"

"Don't worry, my share is equal to my love for you. Hurry. Say aah. I won't take no as an answer."

Ah. She's clearly pissed that I made fun of her. Giving in to what she wanted, I opened my mouth and she had me swallow the whole cake while still having that smile on her face. Like her, it immediately bloated my cheeks no matter how soft the cake was.

She then took her phone and took a picture of me in that state.

"Look, how cute you are, Ruki." 𝚗𝑜𝗏𝖊𝔩𝗎𝓈𝔟.𝐂𝑶𝑀

Satsuki copied what I did and showed me the photo while giggling cutely.

Looking at how she was enjoying our time together, I felt relieved.

"My Satsuki is cuter."

I took the phone from her hand and placed the two phones side by side again with the photos we took still showing on the screen. Seeing that, Satsuki broke out in laughter.

It's rare to see her laugh like that so I picked my phone up and took another photo of her.

For the following 20 minutes, we spent our time there bantering, teasing and of course flirting with each other that the thing about her sister and Sakuma was already forgotten.

Though we didn't have any better topics, we never ran out of something to talk about. I talked to her about what she wanted to be and like I thought, she's also undecided yet. Compared to Kana who's already graduating or Nao who has a year more, we 1st years really shouldn't think of that yet.

But yeah, what I wanted to happen led me to think of it now rather than later. Before this 1st year ends, I have to find it. The way to make that future possible.

I also asked her about what I talked about with Nami earlier. Satsuki said it's fine for her to come, in fact she was even happy that someone other than us would come to watch her.

Actually, Aya also expressed her desire to watch Satsuki's practice game but I told her to rest. That part of her might still be sore and I'll just be worried if she pushed herself again. In exchange, I told her I'll stream it for her.

After our time in that cake shop, we decided to move and go to the place where she will meet Sakuma. Inside our classroom.

"Out of all places, he chose to talk to you here? That guy, what is he thinking?"

It's only 10:45 and their supposed meetup is 11:30. Though the school was open during weekends, the School Building was supposed to be off-limits.

I know we're early. It's so we could have alone time after all.

Right now, I was sitting on my seat while Satsuki was making herself comfortable on my lap, ignoring her own seat and every other empty seat in this room.

Err… Not that I'm complaining. We couldn't be this close inside that cake shop after all. Feeling the softness of her body and smelling her scent that I'm already addicted to. This is certainly much better.

"That's how he is, idiot. Even you didn't have that good sense of which place to meet up."

Satsuki was already absent-minded as she was too absorbed in staring at me. It's as if she's scrutinizing every part of my face.

"Err… true. Who am I to talk about choosing places?"

I always chose empty rooms where I could be alone with a girl…

Right. He probably has an even better sense for choosing places than me.

"You told me you'll take me out later, where do you plan to take me?"

"Uhm… I will let you choose where."

"See. Ruki. I don't want to choose, take me somewhere you picked. It doesn't really matter to me as long as I'm with you…"

I see. It should be the same as that time I reconnected with Yae, she wanted me to pick but in the end, it's still her who picked the place where I should take her.

"Satsuki…"

"Idiot. Why are you suddenly calling my name?"

Like always, Satsuki was flustered again upon hearing me call her name.

"Nothing, you just looked too beautiful when you said that. Alright, I'll be the one picking the place"

"I'm looking forward to that… but Ruki we still have time."

When she heard my agreement, Satsuki was overjoyed before hinting me about something. With her blushing face and those lips that were inviting me, I know I wouldn't be able to restrain myself again.

"You could feel it already. I want my Satsuki."

"Un…"

Satsuki nodded. Seeing that seductive face of her. I couldn't hold back anymore. My hands were already behind her. A little pull and she was placed on top of my bulge.

We already satisfied ourselves earlier but even then, we still have this thirst for each other. As our lustful eyes locked into each other, our lips naturally found themselves locked into a kiss.

In this currently empty classroom that was always full of our classmates everyday, we made it as another place where our mark was left behind. On my desk, on her desk. On both of our seats.

Since Sakuma might come any moment, I didn't strip her out of her clothes. Instead, I just pulled our pants down and opened her jacket to lift her shirt up.

During our whole intercourse, I never let her think of the possibility that Sakuma might come in and find me fucking her on our own desk. As much as possible I slowly erase that strange fetish of hers from her mind. Even if that only works with Sakuma, it's certainly unpleasant.

Well, about the thought of being caught having sex in the classroom was still there though, and that was kind of stimulating for both of us that Satsuki's moans might leak out if I didn't cover her mouth.

In the end, before Sakuma arrived at the appointed time, Satsuki and I were already done. The smell lingered in the room though but that didn't matter anymore.

I'm quite sure he heard her moans through the phone. It will be his loss if he brings that up during his talk with Satsuki.

This time, instead of hiding somewhere, Satsuki told me to stay with her, we'll let Sakuma choose whether he wants me to stay and listen in or make it private for them.

"Onoda. I see. You're here as well."

Like I thought, he's not surprised anymore that I was with Satsuki.

"Don't mind me, I'm just here to accompany her. You have something to say to her and she also has something to say to you. This time, be true to your feelings, Sakuma. Stop running away anymore."

I'm holding Satsuki's hand tight and I could feel that she's slightly trembling. That's the guy she loved for 4 years and now that that love has ended, only at this time will they have a proper talk after all those years. There's no way she wouldn't be disconcerted.

"I… I'll do that. But Onoda, can I talk to her alone?"

"Don't ask me."

As expected, he wouldn't choose to talk with me here.

"Right. Can I talk to you alone, Maemura?"

"… Alright. Ruki."

Satsuki thought for a minute before she turned to me and nodded indicating that she accepted what Sakuma asked.

"I understand. I'll wait for you outside, Satsuki."

Before I left, I squeezed her hand to calm her down and kissed her in front of him.

Sakuma immediately turned his head away to avoid seeing it.

I don't know, maybe after this, Sakuma will stop looking at me as a friend. Even if he already conceded, seeing it happening before his eyes, he will surely be angry. At me and also at himself.

Chapter 195: From Satsuki to Nami

The talk between Satsuki and Sakuma lasted for 10 minutes.

As soon as Satsuki left the room her head turned from left and right to scan and catch my figure. When she did see me, Satsuki was almost running as she closed the distance separating us.

Even from afar, I could see that her eyes were about to burst to tears and that was enough for me to get worried. Due to that, I didn't wait for her to arrive at where I was. Instead, I also walked towards her, catching her in my arms.

"What happened?"

I asked and she answered while shaking her head.

"I just wanted to be in your arms like this. Hug me, Ruki"

With her unusually lowered voice, Satsuki tightened and buried her face on my shoulder. Soon enough, I could feel it getting wet from her tears, her soft sobbing filling my ears.

Hearing that, I couldn't help but feel a little pain in my heart. For her to feel like this after that brief talk, maybe they poured out what has been bottled up for years. It's something I couldn't deny for her, that was a part of her life after all.

Sakuma was probably still in the classroom. As to the result of their talk, I wouldn't ask for now. Satsuki needed my shoulder to pour whatever it was she was feeling through her tears. I know that she will tell me what happened after calming down.

From the School Building, I took her somewhere we could sit and not be disturbed by anyone. There's a lot of spots like that here. Given how large the school ground is, there's a lot of desolate places which fit what I wanted.

The game will start at 2pm and she needs to be there by 1pm. We only have an hour left before I escort her to the Gymnasium where the practice game will be held.

"Here. How are you now?"

I asked Satsuki again as I handed her a canned lemonade.

"Better."

Satsuki looked up to me and nodded. Even until now, her eyes were still a bit red from crying earlier.

I took out my handkerchief and sat next to her before turning her face towards me.

"Close your eyes."

A slight smile flashed on her lips as she nodded and did what I asked. And just like that, I started wiping the dried tears off her face.

I was the one who told her to talk to him and also the one who told her to tell him everything she wanted to say so in a sense, these tears she shed were partly because of me.

I know I am blaming myself again but I don't regret it. Their talk that has been delayed for 4 years needed to happen. For all of us to move on.

It's true that there were things that were better kept hidden but what happened to their relationship wasn't one of those things. Soon, Nami also needed to do that with Ogawa, to let him know what happened between us. He was probably still hoping that everything was just an act even if it was already laid bare in his eyes.

We only had one acting session to date and maybe it would end when the second one happened. Knowing Nami, she was surely thinking of what to do.

"It's not even a month and a lot has already happened between us."

Seeing that I was not asking her about what happened to them, Satsuki opened her mouth first. She already opened the lemonade and slowly sipped it.

She's right. This is just the 3rd week and a lot has already happened, not just between us but also to everyone around us, especially those around me.

If I hadn't changed, probably not everything would've happened. Knowing my previous self, I would surely continue focusing on my targets one at a time without understanding anything. Like a machine who only moved to steal someone.

That sounded like a lot different than what's happening to me now but looking back, I'm glad that things happened the way it did. Being aware of things was a lot better than before.

"Right. We went from not knowing each other's name to calling each other's name intimately."

"Ruki… Do you think we could've gone slowly?"

For her to ask this now, did their talk affect her?

"Yes, we could've gone down that route, do you want to slow down?"

To slow down means to limit ourselves to what was currently acceptable. It might've worked for others but for me or us, it would surely be difficult. I wanted to tell her everything since there's not only her in my life. I wanted her to know and whether she accepted it or not, I also wanted to know.

"No. I like the way we are now. Sakuma, he…"

"You don't have to tell me if it's hard for you, you know? In your story, I am the villain who took you away from him. I will never give you back again."

Never eh? But I kept that choice open for her. It sounded contradicting, really. But I already explained why it was there in the first place and since there was still no precedent, I was probably thinking lightly of how it would affect me.

However, as things stand, I could only be that optimistic right now.

"Idiot Ruki. I will tell you. Just like how you want to tell me everything that is happening around you, I will do the same."

Satsuki shook her head and put her hand over mine. Her words were filled with conviction.

Clasping the hand she put over to mine, I used my arm to pull her closer to me.

"Then I'll wait for that. For now, let me accompany you like this while waiting for time."

She will tell me but it doesn't have to be today. It can be later or tomorrow or when she's fully ready. Tomorrow we'll be meeting Sakuma in class again and surely, things will not go back to before.

Well, I probably also need to talk to him again but since he just finished his talk with Satsuki, it's not the time yet.

"Are you sure you'll be fine?"

After waiting for an hour, we're now at that side door of the Gymnasium. Well, there's already a bit of a crowd coming in from the front especially her club mates and those who will watch the game.

"Haa... You're always a worrywart. I will be fine. You'll be watching so I will do my best."

She punched my shoulder while showing me her cheerful smile. Unlike the somewhat downcast Satsuki from earlier, seeing her like this was certainly much better.

"And I will be cheering for my Satsuki. Beat them alright?"

"Of course, watch me."

With shining eyes full of determination, Satsuki confidently raised her fist.

"I knew how hard you worked for this game. Show them your worth, alright?" 𝔫𝐎𝗏𝗲𝓵𝔲𝗌𝕓.𝑪𝒐𝐦

After saying that, I closed our distance and for the nth time today, I took her lips into a kiss which she immediately responded to. No matter how many times we kissed, we will never get tired of it.

When our lips and tongue separated, Satsuki's face was fully red again. The trace of what happened with Sakuma earlier was once again gone from her mind. And with that kiss as her last memory before switching to her game face, Satsuki will surely be at 100%.

"Un... I'll be going inside then. Pick Nanami up now, she's probably waiting for you."

"Right. See you later. We'll be up there cheering for you."

I watched Satsuki disappear from the side door first before leaving to pick Nami up from the bus station.

Since Satsuki said it's fine and was even happy that someone else will watch, I told Nami to leave after 1 pm. It's just a 15-minute ride for her after all.

And just like I thought, when I opened my phone, Nami's message about her leaving her house had arrived.

I immediately replied and told her I will wait for her at the bus station before making my way towards it.

20 minutes later, I watched how Nami in her casual dress excitedly ran up to me after getting off the bus. However, she's not like my other girls who will just jump in my arms. She stopped in front of me and showed me her beautiful smile

"I miss you, Ruu."

Nami immediately opened up with those same words she said on Messenger while giving me her most beautiful smile to date.

"Un. I miss you too. You looked really beautiful in that, Nami."

I smiled and complimented her outfit which made her smile bloom further. Just by seeing that, it already gave me the urge to kiss her.

I wonder, what will be Ogawa's reaction if he finds out Nami went out to meet me today. He's probably at his home right now.

He's already her boyfriend in name but his indecisiveness is still there. He's really hopeless, eh?

"Let's go?"

I reached for Nami's hand and clasped it on mine. After our days of practicing in that empty room, our hands being clasped was already something normal for her.

"Ah. Right. Shizu-nee is at the Student Council Room. I'll go to her later after the game. You probably planned to be alone with Satsuki, right?"

Eh? Then that means Shizu-senpai saw us again. I can imagine her grumpy face tomorrow for my secretary job.

"Yes. But if you want you can come with us."

"No. Ruu, I won't take Satsuki's time. I'll wait for my turn. Besides I also have something to talk about with Shizu-nee."

"Alright. I'll pick you up after it. How was Shizu-senpai?"

"Still the same but you know she will get used to it soon. However, she will stay scary to others. Only to us will she open up."

Well, even Aya couldn't really open up to just anyone. For now, that's enough for Shizu-senpai. At least that's a start.

Chapter 196: Practice Match

"Onoda. Why are you…"

On our way to the Gymnasium, Sakuma suddenly appeared from the School Building. His inquisitive eyes immediately scanned both Nami and me. He already knew that Nami is also close to me because of that time when they helped me to clean that club room. However, after his talk with Satsuki, he probably thought there's also something going on between the two of us.

Even if he didn't complete his sentence, he's clearly asking why I am with Nami now when I was just with Satsuki earlier.

Good thing that when we entered the School Grounds, Nami let go of my hand and just stayed close to me. She's aware that there will be many eyes that could recognize us especially when even Shizu-senpai saw me with Satsuki all the way from the Student Council Room..

"Sakuma-kun, are you also coming to watch the Girls Basketball Team's practice match? Why don't we all go together?"

Before I could answer, Nami already went forward to ask him and invite him to come with us. This girl's observer skill surely noticed Sakuma's current emotion. Also, I still haven't told her what went on between Satsuki and him earlier.

I still don't know what they talked about but if Satsuki was affected like that, there's no way he wouldn't be.

Though he's already downcast when he appeared earlier, this time I could see that his eyes were still a bit red.

Considering he appeared from the School Building, he probably cried inside our classroom and only now did he decide to leave.

"There's still time before it starts, wanna come?"

I rode Nami's words and also invited him, ignoring his words earlier.

"I… alright."

Sakuma deliberated for a while before reluctantly nodding his head.

No matter how affected he looked today, I'm not really regretting any of my actions. I guess I will never become a friend to another guy. Sakuma, Ogawa and even that Fukuda.

Well, it's not that I need one.

With his addition, from two, we became a group of three who would come and watch to cheer for Satsuki. With Sakuma here, it will be a bit hard to make a move on Nami but I guess that's fine, we'll be in a public environment anyway. There are more chances later and in the future. There's no need to rush.

"You two are pretty close, Sakuma-kun. Are you still not dating Satsuki?"

Though Nami sounded innocent, her words were probably taking a jab at Sakuma's face.

She already knew that Satsuki was also mine but to take his mislead him away from his possible suspicion of our relationship, Nami used that and it was super effective!

Hearing her question, Sakuma stopped in his tracks and stared at me instead. He's waiting for me to admit that I was the one dating Satsuki but yeah, why would I admit it? It's already enough that he knew.

"What's wrong? Uhm. Did I say something bad?"

Nami alternated her gaze between the two of us.

This girl… I could see that playful smile she had on her face.

Since I'm not saying anything, he had no choice but to answer and diffuse the current tension that was building up.

"We're close but we're not like that, Andou."

However, when he continued his steps and closed our distance, he whispered his clear annoyance at me for not answering.

"Why did you not answer, Onoda? Are you also trying to get Andou when you already have Maemura for yourself?"

"Her question was directed to you and not me. That simple."

I shrugged before continuing my steps.

What he didn't know was that I don't really need to answer Nami. She's more informed on my relationships than him after all.

"You... Onoda, can I really trust you on Maemura?"

Upon hearing his question, I sighed and turned around to face him.

"I love Satsuki. That's enough reason for me to take care of her. Like you said, I was holding back before to give you the chance since she was clearly still into you at that time, but you already conceded, right?"

Ah. Even without him conceding, it will still end up like this. His chances with Satsuki had already dropped to zero when I made her mine two weeks ago.

"Hurry up, you two!"

Since we slowed down when Sakuma stopped to express his annoyance to my lack of response, Nami gained a few steps ahead of us. And seeing that we're not matching her steps, she looked back and shouted.

When Sakuma heard my answer, he could only bite his lips and nod at me. No matter how many grievances he accumulated, Satsuki was already done with him. All of her affection that he probably noticed but failed to act on was already passed onto me. Well, not passed, let's say I stole all of it from him.

And the same thing will happen to Ogawa soon.

There's still 20 minutes before the start of the practice match when we reach the audience stands.

Like before, the audiences can only watch from upstairs. It's just a practice match and it didn't have that match importance to the club or school

However, this practice match surprisingly gathered quite an audience from both genders that even 20 minutes before it started, the audience stands were almost full.

At least we still found a spot for us that gave us a good view of the court. Since it will be hard to avoid people here, I put Nami between Sakuma and me.

Below, we could see the Boy's Basketball Club who was currently preparing the court that will be used for the practice match.

The girls were probably still in their meeting room, preparing themselves.

Their opponent had already arrived and like the girls, they were preparing at the waiting room given to them.

"I'm not really someone fond of watching sports but when I heard that Satsuki will play in it, I couldn't help but be curious."

Nami commented and that was surely directed to Sakuma. This girl missed me and watching Satsuki was just a bonus.

Due to that, I sneakily reached for her hand. When she felt it, Nami opened her palm to clasped our hands together, hidden from Sakuma's eyes.

"Because of her height, she was always urged to join Basketball Club ever since our 6th grade. Now, it already grew on her."

Sakuma answered while recalling his memory of her from the 6th grade. Maybe like Satsuki, he was also watching her play before.

With him stopping to come to their house and her sister leaving for college, it's not impossible for him to really fall in love with Satsuki. But because of my one word from him about her sister, it got him too confused that he even ended up conceding.

Now that things have ended between Satsuki and him, also, with her sister back in his life, I wonder how that will change Sakuma?

Will he stay indecisive and let go of that new chance or will he change?

Well, I'm not interested anymore.

The 20-minute wait eventually ended and both teams came out and went to their benches.

Our school's Girls Basketball Team who has a dark-blue and white as the motif for their jerseys and jackets appeared confident.

The opposing team who had yellow and green as their motif was the same.

Only the 5 starting players and the bench reserves had their jerseys on while the other club members were still wearing their jackets or shirts.

Since It's for girls, the jersey was fit and it covered their whole shoulder. Some of them even have a shirt underneath it.

From the bench, Satsuki's eyes immediately went upwards to look for us. When our gazed met, she immediately flashed a smile.

"Goodluck Satsuki!"

Nami shouted from where we are. Luckily, she didn't gather the eyes of other audiences since there were others like her who started shouting even if the game hasn't officially started yet.

When Satsuki heard that, she waved her hand to Nami and of course, to the silent Sakuma next to her.

After that, their coach, our military-like PE Teacher named Eguchi gathered them again to probably once again remind them of their agreed strategy.

5 minutes later, the game was already about to start.

Of course, Satsuki was benched, she was just a substitute for the 3rd year Center after all. However, she told me that the coach will let her play after the 10-minute mark of the 1st half.

This game's purpose is to give them experience. It doesn't really matter if they win or lose but of course, they will be happier if they win against a team who always compete in Interhigh.

With the male coach of the Boys Basketball Club as the referee, the 10 players were already in their position for the tip-off.

Along with the sound of the whistle indicating the start of the Practice Match, the ball from the referee's hand was thrown upwards with the two Centers jumping after it to get the first tap.

Chapter 197: Time for Another Act

The sounds of the dribbling ball along with the occasional whistles from the referee filled the Gymnasium.

5 minutes was already shaved off from the 20 minutes of the first half with the Fourth High School Girls Basketball Team currently leading the game by 4 points. An early lead that was welcomed by every audience supporting them.

Well, of course, it's still too early to be that happy but who can blame them if they wanted to cheer every time someone scores? That's how it is always anyway. 𝔫𝑂𝑣ℯ𝓵𝓊𝓈𝕓.𝒸𝔬𝕞

On my side, Nami was also enjoying the game as she shouted along with the others whenever our team got their hands on the ball. Sakuma on the other hand was just silently watching the game, who knows what's on his mind.

"I never knew it would be fun to watch a live sports game."

Nami commented when she turned her head to me while showing a cheerful smile which really showed how much she enjoyed watching the game.

"Well, it is fun if the team you're rooting on to win is leading but if they're losing, you'll be frustrated."

As soon as I said that, the opposing team of South High School scored a 3-point which cut the lead ton1 point.

Good timing, eh?

"Ugh. Don't jinx it, Ruu. Look. If they lose, I will blame it on you."

Eh? I'm just stating my opinion. This girl...

I squeezed her hand that was still clasped on mine to show my protest since her eyes went back to watching the game.

"They will win, they have Satsuki. She's their secret weapon."

After hearing my words, Nami giggled and returned the squeeze on my hand. I guess it's fine to be blamed. Watching her enjoying the game was already enough reason to bring her here.

And on my free hand, my phone was held in it to stream the game for Aya. She was currently watching from her room. Since it's a video call, my screen showed half of her body that was sitting comfortably on her bed, she was eagerly watching what the camera saw.

When Aya heard our exchange, she wrote something on our chatbox. She could actually talk through it, however, she chose to write instead. Maybe the crowd was too loud or she's probably too shy to talk.

"If they lose, I will also blame you, Ruki."

Nami read her message and that turned her giggles into a laugh.

Ugh… Now, there's two of them who will blame me if they lose. Win it for me, Satsuki.

"You're both being unfair."

"It's your fault to comment like that, Ruu. Ayase, if you saw his face right now, he looks like we did him wrong."

Eh? Was that my expression right now?

A few seconds later, Aya sent another message as a response to Nami.

"Let me see!"

And upon reading that, Nami reached her free hand to the screen of my phone and touched the icon to switch the camera from back to the front.

Upon seeing my face on the camera, Aya immediately blushed before showing her smile to me. The way she did it was so natural that it made my heart skip a beat.

Err… was that the right description? That girl could deliver hits like this even when she's away from me.

"I'm satisfied now, I saw Ruki's face."

"Ah. Ayase just wanted to see you, Ruu. Turn it back now."

Nami who watched that occurrence with me pouted. Did she just become jealous because of Aya's smile?

During all this, Sakuma was silently watching the game while glancing at us occasionally. Whatever was in his mind, he's probably bottling it up. Maybe he also already noticed that our hands were clasped together. Who knows? Right now, I was focused both on the game and the two girls. One beside me and one on the screen.

Soon enough, Satsuki's turn to play arrived. With her game face on, she was sent in as the substitute Center for the 3rd year senior. The one she lost to in that practice match they had before.

When Nami saw Satsuki entering the court, she hurriedly shouted and cheered for her. Even Aya who was silent since earlier shouted from her room to show her support to Satsuki even if Satsuki won't be able to hear her cheers.

Hearing those cheers from below, Satsuki looked at our direction and nodded. She's too focused on the game now and maybe a bit nervous as well.

Looking at her from above, she looks confident enough that her teammates had a smile on their face to encourage her.

After another 5 minutes of game time, our team was still leading by 2 points. With Satsuki guarding below the basket, she showed the fruits of all the training she endured.

From rebounds, screens, blocks. She did everything.

And when she's free, the ball would occasionally be passed to her which would earn her a chance to earn points for the team. Every time she would succeed at something, Nami at my side would shout her name. That's why the other audiences have also started talking about Satsuki. Maybe after this game, she'll be famous to the upperclassmen.

But yeah, no matter how good of a performance was showing, there were still times when she would fail at those and let the enemy score from her.

When the 1st half ended, her performance could be said as impressive. Their team's lead went up to 7 from 1.

Even Sakuma who was silent earlier was clapping and smiling upon seeing that result.

"Looks like your care for her became also a factor why she's doing great, Ruu. That time when she was too exhausted, you immediately went up to buy something for her and the following days, you kept on checking on her if she's fine. That surely motivated her to do her best."

Nami commented as we also tried to sit down to wait for the start of the 2nd half. Well, I wouldn't really take credit for it. Everything was the result of her hard work.

Even if there were those times where she indulges herself in our relationship, she diligently attended the training for this game. Maybe my words to her of wanting to see her play motivated her but everything was still because of her dedication.

"That's not all because of me. Did you see her? She enjoys playing this sport."

"There you go again. For me, I'm not really interested in sport nor anything else. However, what we're doing at the club is something I really like. For now, it's all just an errand from Shizu-nee but the sense of accomplishment whenever we're done is satisfying."

"I see. Maybe that's also your passion. To help someone. Are your observer skills being used during your activities?"

"Yes… Shizu-nee's last errand was to check some clubs suspicious activities. We found two who were just using the Club name as the front while doing something else."

Err… That sounds like the Poem Appreciation Club. Are they okay there? They looked like a legit club though except for that hidden room that was not really hidden.

"How about your Literature Club? There are more girls there. Is there a…?"

Before she could finish her question, I already understood what she wanted to ask so I answered her with a nod.

Upon seeing that, Nami's fair expression turned from being curious to a pouty one before she whispered in my ears.

"… I'm seriously right now jealous, Ruu."

"Don't be. You know how I feel about all of you."

We're whispering to each other while Sakuma was there. I know we invited him on a whim but from how close we're acting, if he failed to notice our closeness then he's probably playing stupid or he's truly blind.

"I know. But…"

"Then let's sneak out at lunch tomorrow. Let's find a new place where we can be alone again."

I'll just inform Satsuki and Aya about it tomorrow. This girl sure noticed the change in Aya, though she couldn't connect it to us having sex yet, she's close to it. She knew I took Aya home last Friday after all. That's why she's acting like this.

"Promise?"

"You know, I love seeing you this jealous, Nami. You're cuter than usual."

"Bad guy."

Nami hesitantly hit my shoulder to show her protest at my teasing words but the smile on her face couldn't hide the joy she felt from hearing it from me. Just looking at her actions right now, she's surely looking forward to tomorrow.

"Ah. There they are! Nanami!"

Suddenly, someone shouted from the door and mentioned Nami's name. When we turned our heads towards it, Mori was there, waving her hands at us and behind her was Ogawa.

Upon seeing them, Nami's hand that was clasped to mine started trembling. She didn't expect for Ogawa to show up here and upon seeing him, she was shaken.

We still haven't resolved the thing with Ogawa. Nami accepted his confession back then and a few days later, she admitted to loving me. Of course, there's no way she wouldn't feel guilty about it.

Even from where we were sitting, I could see Ogawa's eyes scanning us. The way we were seated and huddled closely together and our hands that were hidden between us.

Why are they here anyway? Did Mori take him with her?

No. If it was her, she would surely try to stop him and ask him to spend time with her instead.

I guess this is Ogawa's idea and Mori only accompanied him. He probably went over to spend time with his girlfriend and found out that she went to school to watch a basketball game.

Maybe he already had a hunch who she was with and decided to come here to confirm.

In any case, with Nami like this, it's probably not time yet to confront him.

"Nami, don't worry. I'm here with you. Just act normally."

I whispered to her before Mori and Ogawa went over. Nami looked up at me and nodded before whispering again.

"I love you."

For her to say it even with Ogawa coming over to us, it goes to show that her affection was already mine.

After saying those words, we let go of each other's hand and went on to start our act. This time, we're acting not as lovers but just friends who went together to watch another friend. Completely different from our first act.

Chapter 198: It's Just Your Imagination

"Mori. It's nice seeing you today."

Using my hand that was just holding Nami's hand a few seconds ago, I waved at her and ushered her to sit beside me.

"Ugh… We're not that close, Onoda."

Though she's still kind of avoiding me, she didn't reject it as she took the seat next to me, leaving Ogawa standing alone.

"I know but we're classmates. It's rare seeing one during weekends."

Err... But it's not that rare for me. I kept seeing them during weekends, especially Satsuki.

"So, are you happy about seeing me?"

Mori whispered. Maybe afraid that Ogawa would hear it.

This is new. For her to ask that, my postponing of stealing her is working quite well. Now that I look at her again, it seemed like some weight she was carrying has been lifted. She's more blooming than before when she kept on chasing after Ogawa's shadow. Did she finally give up?

"I am. You look beautiful today, Mori."

I whispered back to her, even if she's not looking, I was staring at her closely. So when that smile that she immediately retracted, I confirmed that it's really working. She's now becoming conscious of me.

Compared to Ogawa who only sees her as his childhood friend. I told her what I was really feeling, even if she turned me down, I still showed how I cared for her back then when she was left standing to wait for Ogawa.

"Idiot. I'm not beautiful."

That's the only response she managed to come up with before making herself comfortable at her seat. Well, since it has just started working, I decided not to push it further. I smiled and also did the same.

"Kazuo, why are you here?"

Nami asked Ogawa who was silently looking at her. It's not that noticeable but her voice was trembling slightly. She's not as good as me at acting. During that time when we had to act, she was truly carried away by our situation. With me expressing my true feelings for her and her also drawing from her feelings for me.

However, the situation here was different. She needed to act carefully to not let him be too suspicious, she's having a hard time.

"I went to your house and Auntie said you came here to watch."

After saying that, his eyes turned to me.

Looks like something changed inside him. Did he reach his breaking point? Will he confront us instead of waiting like he always does?

"I invited her to watch Maemura's game."

He heard my answer but there's no reaction from him. He still silently stared at me as if he's trying to determine if there was any hidden meaning in my words.

Ah. Even if he stared at me for days, he wouldn't find anything. He should really just confront us while he still can.

I looked at Nami beside me who's still silently trembling and didn't know what to do.

Has she shown this kind of weakness before? She was a bit ruthless to cook up a plan to push Ogawa into panic just to confess to her. She even showed me her affection in the classroom with Ogawa at her back.

I guess there's still a lingering feeling inside her who still carried that soft spot towards him. Lying to him face to face was eating on her.

Since he's not answering, I stopped paying attention to him and completely turned to Nami.

"Are you cold, Nami? Do you want me to buy something? There's still 10 minutes before the 2nd half."

This is for her to escape this difficult situation. I'm a bit pissed at this situation but it's just a matter of time before I can remove Ogawa completely.

"A bit. I'll come with you, let's buy drinks for everyone."

She understood why I did that. I was saving her from this situation. That guy only answered her first question and never again. Whatever was in his mind, I'd rather not see Nami being put in this situation.

Well, I would also be able to talk to her better if we left for a while.

I stood up and held my hand out for Nami to take. Everything was happening in front of him but he still hadn't uttered anything.

Did the cat get his tongue?

In any case, Nami took my hand. Ogawa was temporarily cast off from her mind when I talked to her. Let him see the difference between us. Maybe he was really pushed to this point due to his piling suspicion but if he wouldn't say anything, what's the point?

"Wait. I'll come with her to buy it."

When we passed by him, with my hand still on hers, Ogawa stopped us by blocking our way. Though he's looking at me, his eyes were focused on Nami behind me.

"Hmm? No. I think it's much better for us to buy it, Ogawa. Nami, is that fine?"

If I let her go alone with him, Nami was still not ready. She needed to think about what to do and she had to do that without Ogawa's presence.

"Alright. I'll be here with Mori. And Sakuma-kun's with us anyway. Black coffee for me."

At least she's still thinking clearly and she could pick up my intentions. I smiled at her and nodded. She returned it by flashing a smile at me.

"What about you, Mori? Sakuma?"

"Juice."

"Anything."

Without consulting Ogawa, everything was already decided. 𝔫𝐎𝗏𝗲𝓵𝔲𝗌𝕓.𝑪𝒐𝐦

I don't know. He's too indecisive to change and speak up. If I recall correctly, he's always like this just that his silence right now contained some sort of coldness. He's clearly aware of what's happening between Nami and me but he's probably too scared to ask. Such an indecisive bastard, eh?

In any case. He's already too late.

"Say. Are you jealous of us?"

I asked when we're on our way to the vending machine.

"I am."

This guy. He finally answered.

"Then why aren't you saying anything? Do you think it will be resolved if you keep silent like that?"

Ogawa didn't answer immediately. He stopped walking and turned towards me. Instead of answering my question, he threw his own question at me.

"Is that still an act Onoda? What you're doing with Nanami... why does it feel real? Are you fooling me now?"

I see. He couldn't ask Nami about this. Or maybe, he didn't want anyone to hear it apart from her or me.

"It depends on your perspective."

This guy is like Sakuma all over again. Gotta confuse him for now. However, unlike Sakuma, this guy's more indecisive that it's giving me a headache. I don't want him to evolve into something that would push him to touch those girls around him. I want him to stay as indecisive as always.

"Huh?"

That's a good reaction, alright.

"If you believe it's not then it's not. If I say, 'We're not acting anymore. Nami is mine now and you don't have any right to call yourself her boyfriend anymore.' What are you going to do?"

Telling him the bare truth while disguised as a scenario. It would surely confuse him. But yeah, it's to plant in his mind that even if we act like lovers even in front of him, it was all an act.

"I… I'm her boyfriend. She accepted my confession."

She accepted your confession but she accepted my love for her. That confession was now null and void. Our roles has already been reversed.

"Then why aren't you acting like one?"

Instead of answering again, he was just throwing what he thought was fact. Yes. He's her boyfriend which only the four of us know but I'm her boyfriend in front of her friends and all of them knows.

"That…"

Now, you're being speechless?

"Look. Have you properly checked on her today? She seemed so uncomfortable when you're not saying anything."

Of course, he's not. He's too absorbed in whether he should say anything about his jealousy or not. It's quite easy to guess what someone was thinking when you read him completely. He's still at a point where he is rejecting the possibility that our act wasn't an act anymore.

"Am I making her comfortable?"

Should I call him out for being blind?

Ah. That's unnecessary.

"Would I be able to tell you this if I didn't notice that? If you're jealous then say it outright. I invited her to leave and buy something to save her from that awkward situation but there you are, you blocked our way."

Now I'm pushing him to feel guilty. But yeah, it's the truth anyway.

Nami could be said to be the one in the wrong here by cheating on him with me. But it's just a matter of time. Nami already confessed her feelings to me.

Soon enough, when she's ready, we'll tell it to him and turn our act into reality in front of his eyes.

"I didn't know. I'll go back and apologize to her."

After realizing that what I'm saying is true, he tried going back but I stopped him.

"What will your apology do? Let's just go and get those drinks. Stop making her uncomfortable, will you?"

You're not needed today.

"… I understand."

Do you really understand? Haa. This guy. He didn't even notice that I stopped him from erupting. In any case, I don't want to see Nami being that uncomfortable. Even with Ogawa here, I'm going to keep her beside me.

Looking at this guy now, his eyes seemed to be clearer than earlier. It's unintended but I guess that's fine. He admitted that he's jealous but he couldn't even say it to her. This indecisive bastard. Ugh.

Soon enough we reached the vending machine and bought the drinks for everyone. While doing that, I started another conversation with him.

"You know, I was rejected by Mori because she's still devoted to you."

Now that he's confused, I threw the Mori card so he wouldn't realize my intention of confusing him.

"Hina didn't tell me about that, I'm sorry. But you seem close today."

Ah. Of course. I made sure to take my chances to appeal to her even if she already rejected me. Now it's showing its fruits. But yeah, I wouldn't even encounter her here if not for this guy.

"Do we look close? She won't be here if not for you. You have girls like Mori around you but don't let that be a reason to neglect your girlfriend. If you don't want them, do you want me to help you with that?"

I'll take good care of them. Ah. For now, I only needed Mori. Maybe Izumi-senpai as well? I don't know yet.

"Am I really doing that? Am I neglecting Nanami because of them?"

No. It's just your imagination. It's the other way around, I'm letting Nami neglect you.

Well, She's already mine, that's enough reason to stop paying attention to an indecisive bastard like Ogawa. He's just a one day boyfriend. When that act of us started, Nami had already fallen into my arms.

Chapter 199: You're Mine

"Nami, here."

"Thank you, Ruu."

"Un. Mori, here's yours."

"Thank you."

"Sakuma."

"Thanks."

"Where's Kazuo?"

After handing them their drinks, Nami couldn't help but ask. Well, the other two were also wondering where Ogawa went.

Should I say I stuffed him inside the incinerator?

Ah. Well, I'm not one who likes to joke so I answered honestly.

"Bathroom. He'll be back soon. We should go back to our place, the 2nd half is starting."

That guy was probably mulling over my words. He got confused, alright. I wonder if he'll go back to being the dense harem protagonist that he is. In any case, I only need him to not make Nami uncomfortable.

Sakuma and Mori stood up and went back to the watching stands.

Mori was just excited, Nami told her the highlights that she missed during the 1st half. Sakuma, on the other hand, kept his silence but he's also eager to watch Satsuki. About whether he noticed something about us, I guess he chose to keep to himself.

"How are you feeling now?"

Before Nami stood up, I asked her. Her complexion was now back to normal but I didn't know if it would stay like that when Ogawa came back. This is me worrying about them again. I can't help it.

"Great now, thanks to you."

Nami smiled and lifted her hand in front of me, her way of asking me to pull her up from her seat.

"I'm glad. Stay next to me, okay? Don't think about him, I'm with you."

Only think about me. Let him feel that you're still uncomfortable with him.

"Un. Ruu, can we slip out for a minute?"

Nami whispered after I pulled her up. Her eyes told me that she really wanted to be alone with me.

Sakuma and Mori's back was now turned to us so if we did slip out, they wouldn't notice it. The only problem would be Ogawa. The first figure he would seek upon coming back is Nami.

I looked around and eyed the other entrance near us. There were three entrances, one from each side of the Gymnasium except the one where the front door was located. Where we entered was at the eastern side, near the side door which was a bit special for Satsuki and me.

"Alright. Let's go."

I clasped her hand and led her to the northern entrance. There's only a few who were watching from there since the court that was being used for the game was the one nearer to the front door. Sakuma and Mori might notice us but yeah, they would surely notice us soon since we wouldn't be at their side when the 2nd half starts. I'll apologize to Aya later for not starting the video call soon.

After exiting from there, we arrived at the backside of the Gymnasium. We then went down the stairs and looked for a place that was somewhat desolate.

"There, Ruu."

Nami pointed to a nearby gym storage room. It's a different storage room than the storage room Rae and I organized last week.

I nodded at her and pulled her there. The front door was locked so we went behind it. There's nowhere we could enter from so this was the best place we could go to that was away from the eyes of others and nearer to the Gymnasium so we could go back quickly.

Nami looked around the area first and when she determined that there's no one around, she immediately slipped her arms to my side and embraced me. I could feel her soft body pressing onto me as she tightened her embrace. 𝑛𝒪𝑣𝖾𝓵𝔲𝑠𝒃.𝕔𝔬𝗆

"Did something happen?"

I asked her. She's probably thinking with Ogawa and Mori here, she wouldn't have any time to meet me later.

"I just want to feel you this close."

Nami lifted her head and stared into my eyes.

"You're not being honest right now, Nami."

I put my hand on her head to caress her hair while the other one slipped to her side and rested on her back.

"Uhm. Am I bad? Kazuo, he's still my boyfriend in name and here I am with the one I love. Should I tell him already?"

As I thought. That's what was on her mind. She's already mine and the label didn't really matter anyway, however, I knew that it matters for them. Akane, Kana, Satsuki, Sena, Aya. They're all happy to be recognized as my girlfriend even if it's only to limited people. Nami surely wanted that to happen as well. The act for her didn't count since it was an act. I might be known as her boyfriend by her circle of friends, Ogawa and Mori knew that she is Ogawa's girlfriend, not mine.

"Have you prepared yourself to tell him about us? He's the guy you chased after for long, I know it would be hard for you so I'm not forcing you to do it."

It's not like she's still giving him her affection. I've already stolen all of that.

"… I don't think I've prepared enough."

Nami shook her head and buried her face back to my chest.

"Then you don't have to worry about it. We're both aware of what we are now. Dealing with Ogawa could be done later. I will now keep you by my side even if he's there. Is that fine with you?"

This way she wouldn't feel uncomfortable but yeah, it's also just me not wanting to see her with him.

"Un. I like that. But Ruu, I want to spend more time like this with you."

"Tomorrow, remember? If you want we can also skip the 6th Period."

"No. You told me you wanted to attend class and learn everything you can learn from it so I won't take that away from you."

"Then let's make use of our time now."

After saying that, I lifted her chin and kissed her while she's still a little surprised. I could feel her lips tremble a bit but soon enough, it started responding to my kiss. It wasn't deep at first, just sucking her lower lip while Nami returned it by sucking my upper lip.

Her arms tightened and slowly, I pushed her to the wall, leaning her back to it, I resumed our kisses. Nami's eyes were already so lost in me that she already forgot what she wanted to say next.

Overlapping our lips once again, Nami was already different from the girl who was so inexperienced that even holding hands was hard for her. Right now, she's responding to my kisses skillfully that her tongue already started to move. When I felt that, I also put my tongue forward to meet hers. Her eyes widened a bit but that's it.

In this desolate place, we were locked in our passionate kiss that gradually filled our surroundings. When the kiss was proven not enough anymore, Nami pushed my head down to her neck. Back then she stopped me when I was about to kiss her neck, now, she's the one urging me to do it.

"Nami, if I go down here, I might not be able to stop from going further."

"... I know. Go ahead, Ruu."

After giving her permission, I stopped holding myself back. I went down and started kissing her neck. This neck that was off-limits before was now being marked by my lips.

Nami's hold onto me tightened. I looked up a bit and saw her closed eyes, she was trying to feel it better. Due to that, I became more eager. Eager to find the spots where she would feel good.

At the same time, my hand slipped inside her dress. It was a one-piece dress so I had to slip it under her skirt, going up from there, her dress was slowly lifted by my arm, exposing her smooth legs and also her silk white underwear.

When she felt that, Nami opened her eyes and tried to hold onto my arm that was currently caressing her thighs. Due to that, it got stuck there while I continued attacking her neck. Since my hand couldn't go further up, I let my lips do it. From her neck, I went down to her collarbone. From there, I could already see into the ravine made from her breasts.

"Nami, can I?"

I looked up at her again, asking for permission if I could go further down. Down to her two soft mounds.

From below I could see that she was embarrassed and at the same time, she was feeling it. My kisses, my touches and my desire to go further.

"We're outdoors… someone might see. I don't want others to see me in that state. Only you."

Ah. Right. She's still new to all of this. No one has seen her body beneath her clothes.

After hearing that I let go of my hold from her thighs and that made her dress fall back in place.

"You're right. I was getting greedy, sorry."

"… You can touch it if you want."

Nami shook her head and whispered in a soft voice. Her eyes went down to her mounds. It's a little bigger than Satsuki's breasts.

"No. Like you said, someone might see. Maybe when we're alone. I also don't want to embarrass you or others to see you, Nami."

"… Thank you for holding back, Ruu."

"When we're alone, I won't be able to. With how sexy you look right now. I might've already pushed you down if we're not outdoors."

"...Pervert."

"It's been a while since you called me like that."

"This guy… Kiss me again, pervert. I want to feel your love more before we go back there."

Nami embarrassingly smiled as she urged me to kiss her again.

Of course, I wouldn't shy away from that. Taking her lips once more. It immediately evolved to a passionate kiss between us and now it involved our necks. This time she's the one who showered my neck with kisses before going back to my lips.

After spending five minutes in that kind of passion, we reluctantly separated our lips. Nami already had a lustful expression on her face. If not for being outdoors, we might have done more than just kisses. But that's enough for now.

"They might notice what we did if we go back right away. Raise your neck Nami, let me wipe it for you."

It was wet with my saliva that hasn't dried yet so I took out my handkerchief to wipe it.

"You left no place untouched with your lips and tongue, pervert."

Though she kept calling me a pervert, there's that seductive smile on her face. If only she could see herself right now, she would be surprised.

"I couldn't help it when you look this lovely and sexy."

Before wiping it, I planted another kiss on her lips. And like earlier, it evolved to a passionate one immediately. We kept at it until I finished wiping her neck. Though I didn't leave a hickey, her neck became rosy red.

"Pervert Ruu, I love you."

When our lips separated again, Nami sweetly whispered her affection.

"I love you too. You're mine, Nami."

Right. She's mine. Even if Ogawa was there, she's now here with me. He wouldn't have any more chances with her.

"Un. I'm yours."

Nami nodded and smiled enchantingly once again. Everything about her was now exuding her affection for me. Without any acting involved, this is how we are now.

Chapter 200: Actions speak Louder

"Where did the two of you go?"

Ogawa welcomed us with his question when we went back upstairs. He was being jealous again but because of what I told him earlier, he's probably still a bit confused that his question this time sounded soft.

He kept my words 'don't make her feel uncomfortable' in mind.

Sakuma also looked on silently while Mori's eyes looked glum. Out of the three, Mori's the only one who somewhat knew about my relationship with Nami but what's with that expression? Is she looking glum because Ogawa still only has his eyes on Nami or is it because of me…?

"I asked her to come out with me."

Before going back, Nami asked about what will be our excuse but because of how abrupt we did it, there's no proper excuse to make so I told her that I'll just have to be honest that I asked her outside.

Ogawa looked at her first to see her reaction, when she didn't supply additional information, he dropped it.

I'm ready for him to question me but surprisingly, he just nodded and dropped it completely.

This guy is really easy to be swayed by words. Like Sakuma.

Nami looked up at me which I answered with a nod. After that wordless question and answer between us, she moved herself to stand next to Ogawa leaving the space between Mori and her open.

Ogawa's eyes seemingly brightened upon seeing that however, when I followed behind her to stand on that space, the brightness dimmed.

Well, he should be thankful that I let her stand there, it would be less trouble for us after all.

The 2nd half hasn't started yet and it seems it got delayed for a few minutes. Satsuki was already in there along with her team listening to their coach talk about their strategy. Probably a strategy on how to keep their lead. Satsuki would still play in the opening minutes of the 2nd half.

I took out my phone and video call Aya again which she answered immediately. I already mentioned to her that Mori and Ogawa joined us so she just stayed silent.

"You're streaming for her?"

Mori curiously asked when she peeked into my phone screen.

I nodded and switched the camera to the front to show her to Aya.

"Uhm. I couldn't go there to watch so I asked him for a favor."

"You four are really close, even Sakuma-kun is here."

"Un. It's Satsuki's first game in high school. We all want to see it."

Surprisingly Aya could hold her conversation with Mori. In the end, I had Mori hold it to talk to Aya while we're waiting for the game to start.

From observing below it seems like the problem was from the opposing team. Well, it doesn't matter to me, my eyes went straight onto Satsuki who coincidentally looked up and when our gazes met, she flashed me her bashful smile. Even if she's far, that girl is still that lovely.

Nami on my side noticed it and like earlier, she acted a little jealous as she reached for my hand while Ogawa was oblivious to it.

When the game restarted, Mori kept the hold on my phone. Is she trying to hatch one of her schemes? I don't know. She's cheerfully talking with Aya and their topics constantly switch from basketball and… me.

Mori was really curious of me now. There's no doubt about that. She didn't bother to stand next to Ogawa even if his other side was open. 𝗇𝒪𝒱ℯ𝐥𝑢𝗌𝔟.𝗰𝔬𝓂

I guess her advances to him were all fruitless but that's still early to say. She might be using this as some kind of strategy to get his attention to herself.

Around 20 minutes later and 10 minutes in-game time Satsuki was substituted by the 3rd year center and was finally relieved of her position. During the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half their 7-point lead turned into a 3-point deficit. The opposite team started to play offensively. One timeout from their team and they also changed to increase their defense so after another 5 minutes, they got back their lead to 3 points before she was substituted out.

In her 20 minutes inside the court, she really played her best and got an excellent result that when she sat back down on the bench, their coach, Ms. Eguchi could be seen praising her.

As the game progressed nearer to the climax, the hype inside the Gymnasium heightened. Everyone was influenced by the close game that was happening before their eyes, even Sakuma who was too downcast and silent after that talk with Satsuki and Ogawa who was too focused with Nami started cheering.

Well, the most excited was Nami who even jumps every time our school team gets the lead. Her hold on my hand would also tighten which was a sign of her being excited.

When the game ended, our team won with only 1 point lead but that's enough for every spectator to erupt in cheers. In the first place, they knew that the team was known to not compete in Interhigh but for the first time, they won a game against a regular competitor. Even if it's just a practice match it's enough honor for them, especially for the members of the club.

Satsuki even stood up and ran towards them as they did a group hug where even their coach who was always too strict about discipline was pulled over.

Maybe this win would let them try on the upcoming Interhigh but that's still debatable and still far off in the future. I'm already happy to see Satsuki that cheerful.

20 minutes later I separated from the group to wait for Satsuki at our usual place. Nami already understood it so she went with Mori and Ogawa. She told me that she will message me later whether she'll be waiting with Shizu-senpai. That's their destination now that the game finished. Sakuma on the other hand tapped my shoulder without saying anything before going on his own. He's still conflicted alright but yeah I don't really care.

Everything was bound to happen when I decided to steal Satsuki's affection from him.

Aya also said goodbye after the game and told me to make Satsuki happy. She's really slowly taking from Haruko when it comes to conceding so I spend the time waiting for Satsuki talking to her and that made that adorable girl grin from ear to ear before ending the call.

"Ruki! We won!"

Satsuki cheerfully ran towards me after emerging from the side door. The happiness she was feeling upon winning that game made her appear brighter than normal. The usually grumpy face of hers which always spat out foul words has been replaced by that triumphant grin.

"I know. My Satsuki is so excellent that you held them off for taking the lead."

She deserved being praised like this so I didn't hold back.

"You're watching… I want to give you a win."

Her grin never left her face and when I praised her, she brightened further that if someone saw her, they would feel the happiness she was exuding.

"And you did. I really like your game face, Satsuki. That serious look on your face was too captivating."

"Don't tease me. Idiot. Praise me more instead..."

She was already blushing profusely even before she reached my arms. And when she did, Satsuki immediately settled herself in my embrace.

I patted her head while continuously praising her.

"I really enjoyed it, Satsuki. Next time I'll bring a huge banner that says I'm your number 1 fan."

"Idiot. You don't need to do that and I'll be more embarrassed if you did. Knowing you're watching me is enough motivation for me to do my best."

Satsuki lightly hit my chest as a show of her embarrassment. Though I love to tease her more, hearing her words and experiencing this adorable behaviour of hers filled me with thoughts of pampering her instead.

If it was before I wouldn't feel anything about their words and actions like this but now, I felt like I missed out a lot during my middle school.

These girls who genuinely show their affection, will I really be able to keep them all to me? Well, that's why I have to work harder.

"Then I'll continue watching you. Let's go and celebrate your win."

"They're inviting me for a celebration but I rejected them. Celebrating with you will be better."

"Though I want to scold you for that, I'll refrain for now. I really want to celebrate this first win but next time, don't reject them, they're your teammates, bond with them sometimes."

"Un. But Ruki, this is the best excuse for me to have you all to myself."

She's right… I would really consider spending time with them to celebrate events like this. To show that I cared for their happiness. Not just with Satsuki but with everyone.

"When did you become this greedy? We can set it for a later time. You know I'll always be here for you so don't restrict yourself from making other bonds."

Maybe I sounded like I'm trying to push her away but I want her life to not only revolve around me. I wouldn't always be with her. The same could be said to the other girls. It's already enough that my life revolved around them. This is my choice. Their choice to stay was just because there's no third option apart from staying knowing they're not the only one or leaving me to live their lives away from this abnormal life I'm trying to build.

"I have to be this greedy when I have lots of competition but you're right, next time I'll go with them."

"Alright, I won't comment on that anymore. I'm all yours. Let's go, I'll take you on a date."

And I won't criticize them about it anymore. I have to accept that they will be like this. Everyone will want more time with me. Sometimes they will adjust themselves but I'm sure everyone was thinking the same, to get more of my time. Even Miwa-nee and Shio.

Like what we talked about earlier, I thought of a place on where to take her.

"Un. I really love this day but I love you more."

"I know you do."

Satsuki raised her head when she said that while flashing her bashful smile. Her show of affection when she stopped being a tsundere is this deadly. And I don't hate it.

"Get flustered sometimes, Ruki."

"I'm already flustered, it's just that it won't show on my face."

I already lost count how many times I get flustered with all of them. Just that, my face was already trained to not visibly show it.

"Idiot. Then show it through your actions. That's where you're good at, Ruki. You not only have your glib tongue. You're also great at expressing how you feel towards your actions. Your touch, your kiss even the simple actions that you do for us. That's why I know how much you care for me. Well, there's also that rare showing of your smile and worried face."

"I see. Is that how it is?"

"You didn't even notice it. Idiot. I don't only fall for those sweet words of yours. I love to hear it but your actions speak louder. Your affection, your care, everything. It was all transmitted by your actions. Even now, I can feel your joy at what I achieved when you embraced me and patted my head."

I guess that's how it really is. I was already told about this by the other girls. That what really made them fall for me were my actions for them. I might've been doing it subconsciously before but now that Satsuki worded it out for me, it finally became clear.

Actions speak louder than words but of course, sometimes they would still want to hear it.

"What can I say? Thank you for telling me this, Satsuki."

After saying that, I decided to follow her words, show it through my actions. I took her lips into a kiss before lifting her and moved us somewhere we can sit. After that, I settled her on my lap and continued kissing her.

Satsuki circled her arms around my neck during all that and she responded to my kisses, not minding that I carried her like a princess. In fact, she's even redder than before.

"I understand. You're worried that my legs might be tired. And the kiss was your show of thank you and your love for me."

"You perfectly interpreted it."

"I'm sure the others can do the same, they can also feel it. Uhm… then Ruki, take me somewhere we can rest. I don't think I can walk around the city."

"Un. I already accounted for that. I'll take you to somewhere to eat first, you're surely hungry after spending too much energy. After that…"

"...Pervert."

Even if I didn't complete my sentence, Satsuki guessed what comes next after it. To somewhere we can properly be alone, not just the classroom or the empty room in this school.

"What? I only thought of giving you a massage somewhere quiet."

"Massage, really? Then I'm looking forward to that."

"You better be."

After that, we stayed for at least 10 minutes more with her sitting on my lap and our lips locked onto each other.

When her legs felt a little better, we walked out of the school grounds with her arms locked on my arm.

Chapter 201: Love Hotel *

I thought of taking Satsuki to eat somewhere quiet, however, when we passed by a Ramen Shop, her eyes brightened and pulled me inside.

The smell of ramen that was oozing out from the shop made her want to try it. Also, we didn't eat lunch, that's why the smell of it became too appetizing for her.

Due to that, instead of walking more, we settled in a currently rowdy ramen shop.

Luckily, the shop is big enough and it has a few tables away from those rowdy ones eating at the counter.

Satsuki chose a bigger serving than normal of tonkotsu ramen with two big slices of meat as its toppings while I chose a shoyu variety.

Well, I could skip eating and just watch her enjoy it but it might embarrass her so I also bought one. The way she stuffed the ramen and the meat displayed how hungry she was. That game drained most of her energy.

When she saw me looking at her, she tried to offer me a slice of the meat before taking the boiled egg that I am saving up on mine. Thinking she tricked me, Satsuki giggled cutely as she ate it while looking at me to see my reaction.

Err… well as long as she enjoyed it.

In the end, we enjoyed it more rather than going to the restaurant where I planned to take her.

After resting for a bit in that shop, Satsuki embarrassingly followed me inside a love hotel. It was her first time so she stuck close to me as I chose our room.

"You acted like a regular of this kind of establishment, Ruki."

Satsuki commented once we entered the room we picked. Since we're now alone again, Satsuki stopped being embarrassed and instead she let loose of herself as she stuck even closer to me.

"I had some experience…"

Not just some. During 3rd year I often take the girls I stole in this kind of establishment. Some were even called while they were spending time with their boyfriend. Excusing themselves just to meet me. It was a good source of my desire.

"Pervert Ruki."

After whispering that, Satsuki let herself fall down to the bed while pulling me to be on top of her. She's more aggressive today than usual and after being stuffed with the ramen she ate, she became energized again.

In less than a minute after entering the room, her bag was already dropped to the floor and our lips were locked into each other again. As I went down from her lips to her neck, Satsuki locked my waist by hugging it with her legs.

"Aren't I supposed to give you a massage?"

"Yes, you are."

I paused kissing her neck and looked up at her which she answered immediately. She already had that lustful expression on her face but most importantly, the way she was biting her lips looks so seductive.

"Ah. The massage can wait. With my Satsuki being this lovely, there's no way I can restrain myself."

"Just say you're a pervert."

"Yes, I am but you are too, Satsuki."

"You turned me to be like this when I'm with you, idiot. And I don't hate it. I can feel your love better when we're connected..."

We've already had sex many times over and like she said we both conveyed our love to each other better whenever we're connected down there. The way she squeezes me and the way I buried my cock inside her, it's more than just lust for each other. I couldn't really rank them anymore. Everyone's different but the affection they're showing me were more or less the same.

Kana who feels really safe whenever I'm with her. Satsuki who could relax herself and enjoy something she couldn't when she was waiting for Sakuma to confess to her. Aya who now had people she can call friends but still find that being with me was a lot better than looking for a friend and Nami who's almost like Satsuki but she found our affection towards each other to be more satisfying than her wait for Ogawa to man up.

There were Aoi, Ria, Sena and Otoha too. Though I couldn't always be with them, their affections could only increase and not decrease. Even Miwa-nee and Shio were like that. Rae and Himeko should be the one that was still a little below, I only had one or two encounters with Rae and I couldn't see Himeko that much these past few days.

Now I could understand why the trio of Akane, Haruko and Yae felt threatened at their rise because for me, they're really almost equal now that if someone among them chose to leave me, it would be like a gaping hole in my existence.

"Un. I love you, Satsuki. You know, I can't express it enough."

"This idiot. I knew I was being selfish sometimes but you still always come running for me. That alone is enough, you don't need to always do that. Like Aya, I also worry about you exhausting yourself."

"Then if you notice that I am overexerting myself, I'll count on you to remind me."

"Un. I will."

Satsuki pulled me back up to lock our lips again. Unlike our kisses earlier that conveyed our lust and affection, this time it's conveying how she also wanted to care for me. It's not an aggressive kiss that we always had, it's gentle and caring.

With her arms slung around my neck, we exchanged that kind of kiss longer than we imagined, sometimes she will close her eyes to feel it properly and sometimes we will just stare into each other's eyes.

When we're done, we just naturally switched gears to more passionate kisses. Eventually, we started stripping off each other's clothes and admired our figures. Her hand traced my fairly trained chest and body while I'm also doing the same on her. Her figure was trained enough that it's neither slim nor plump, it has the right muscle tones on where it was needed. Her waist and hips also had almost perfect curves. Unfortunately, she's really a bit lacking in both her breasts and butt size. Her supple thighs probably took up all the nutrients that were supposed to be given to those two parts of hers.

"How long will you leer at me? You've already seen everything."

"I just can't help but admire your figure every time. I will never get enough of this."

"You're always a pervert…"

Satsuki muttered sweetly before raising her arms to pull me back down on top of her. We're already naked and with her legs that had my waist locked, I just needed to aim my cock to her hole

When she felt it, Satsuki's leg tightened which made my cock easily pushed its way inside her.

As the warmness of her insides wrapped around my cock and assaulted me with pleasure, her soft moans started ringing next to my ear. This time, we're not hurrying ourselves. Compared to when we do it in school or her room, we have all the time to ourselves this time. That's why instead of rushing it, I made her feel it slow and passionate.

Satsuki's eyes and face clearly expressed how she like it as well.

When our eyes met, she gave me her most beautiful smile while whispering her 'I love you' to me. Upon hearing that, it made me more eager to let her enjoy our time together.

From missionary position. I slowly lifted her up to put us in a sitting position. This time she also moved her hips slowly. Telling me to let her do the work, I focused on fondling her breasts while sucking alternately on her nipples.

Soon enough we became too lost in our passion. I never took her from behind as I wanted to watch each and every reaction of her. And with her occasional climaxes, the pace at which I grind my cock inside her gradually increases.

We needed to finish at one point so after all that passion we poured towards each other. I ended it by cumming inside her at the same time as her third climax.

As she fell down to the bed, I stood up and picked her up. While still naked and with cum dripping from inside her, I brought her to the bath.

Opening the shower faucet, we both stood below it as we started to wash each other's bodies.

After that, we were once again taken in by our passion for each other. This time, while standing, Satsuki clung onto me as I pushed my cock inside her for the third time today. We kept at it for at least 20 minutes before finishing our shower and cleaning our bodies.

After two rounds, we still had at least one and a half hours for our time in this room. I had her lay on the bed face down to properly start my massage session. 𝒏𝒪𝓋𝓮𝒍𝓊𝓈𝒷.𝐂𝚘𝔪

Well, like before, I only know the basics, but Satsuki trusts me enough to let me do it while telling me where I should massage her. All that time, she had that teasing smile on her lips as she instructed me to massage her calves, arms and her back.

Halfway through, Satsuki fell asleep while I continued it until all her muscles relaxed. After that, I laid down next to her and put her in my arms. Unconsciously, Satsuki snuggled to my chest while whispering my name.

Satsuki is this lovely, I can't help but keep falling in love with her. Remembering this emotion really changed me. Everything's colorful now. But yeah, I will surely continue falling in love with other girls and every time I do, it will surely hurt her and the other girls.

It's not that I don't want to stop but the thought of taking someone I like or love is deeply ingrained in me. If I restrict myself, for sure it will just be bottled up and will erupt someday and I'm afraid that it will become worse if that happens.

When Satsuki woke up, as if she's aware of the time left, the phone inside the room rang which indicated the last 5 minutes of our rented time. After dressing ourselves up, we left the room on a somewhat happy note. Her first time inside a love hotel could be said to be memorable.

"Shall I take you home?"

I asked her after leaving the love hotel, we're now walking towards the bus station.

With the satisfied smile still plastered on her lips, Satsuki was holding onto my arms as we walked.

"It's fine to send me off from the bus station, Ruki. Nanami is probably waiting for you. I'm already satisfied with everything you did for me today."

Ah. Right. There's still Nami. But it's a bit dark now, will she still be there? I don't know, I'll just have to check after seeing Satsuki safely get on the bus.

Chapter 202: Dawn of the 4th Week

"Are you still there, Nami?"

Since the sky is already dark, I doubt she'll still be there. Even if it's not me, Shizu-senpai will surely tell her to go home with her.

"Sorry, Ruu. Shizu-nee dragged me out to go home."

Nami's face showed up on the screen and behind her, Shizu-senpai was in her casual clothes. The two of them could really be mistaken as siblings if they're together.

"Onoda-kun, you won't hold it against me, will you?"

Shizu-senpai asked in her usual tone. It's still a bit stiff but I could tell how she softened up compared from our first encounter.

"Of course not, senpai. In fact, I'm thankful you didn't leave Nami. I'm the one who needs to apologize, I didn't account for the time it would take me to go back…" 𝒏𝒪𝓋𝓮𝒍𝓊𝓈𝒷.𝐂𝚘𝔪

I got too indulged at being by Satsuki's side and watching her sleeping face. If I tell them that, how will they react?

"Stop making excuses, blockhead. We know who you are with so it's understandable. You should also go home as well. Don't forget, you have a secretary work tomorrow."

Hearing a different tone from Shizu-senpai when addressing me sounds refreshing. Even if she still sounded stiff, she's not trying to scare me anymore.

"Ah. You're right. Nami, see you tomorrow. You too Shizu-senpai."

"Take care, Ruu. Let me tell you, Shizu-nee's opening up to me right now."

I was already about to turn the phone off but Nami said something interesting which immediately made Shizu-senpai flustered.

"Hey, Nanami, don't tell him that."

"Why? If it's Ruu, I'm sure he's interested."

To tease her older cousin like this... I guess she's trying to get back on the times she scared her.

"Yes, I am. I'm glad you listened to me Shizu-senpai. I'm looking forward to seeing you two tomorrow."

I answered her and looked on the screen, Nami had that teasing smile on her face while Shizu-senpai was having trouble covering her face to not let me see it.

She could actually move away from Nami's camera, instead, that's all the attempt at hiding she did.

"Just go now. You're disturbing us."

After a while, I could see Shizu-senpai's eyes glaring at the camera and of course, she's glaring at me. She even clicked her tongue which made Nami more eager to tease her.

"Sorry, Ruu. You know Shizu-nee, she's just embarrassed."

"I know. She's adorable like that. I wish I can see that up close."

"Onoda-kun, stop that. Don't fuel this girl's mischievousness."

"But I'm only telling the truth, Shizu-senpai. Now I'm looking forward to seeing both of you tomorrow."

Seeing that her attempt to stop Nami ended up in me adding fuel to the fire, Shizu-senpai resignedly turned around to avoid seeing me.

That's new, alright. For her to act like this now. Shizu-senpai was slowly changing. Even if it's just around the two of us, it's a lot more different than before.

"Thank you, Ruu. This is the first time I see Shizu-nee like this."

Her giggles could clearly be heard while looking at the back of Shizu-senpai. For Nami, this is something new as well, she used to be somewhat afraid of Shizu-senpai as well but now, their relationship was turning to more than just cousins but sisters.

"Are you not jealous that I'm also like this to her?"

Earlier, she showed how jealous she was upon learning I joined a club that has one of my girls as a member. I guess Shizu-senpai is an exception for her. She even expressed her consent before.

"Not really. Shizu-nee is different, I can see her anytime unlike the others. And I'm still satisfied from earlier"

"I see. I still remember how adorable you were earlier, Nami."

"Ugh. Pervert Ruu."

Nami's face visibly blushed as she sneakily glanced at Shizu-senpai. She's probably worried that the latter heard it.

"Why am I the pervert when it's you who brought it up?"

"Idiot. Just shut up and go home. Take care, alright?"

I nodded and smiled at her. I know that if I responded, I wouldn't be able to stop teasing her. There's still tomorrow so… let's leave it at that.

When I arrived home, Miwa-nee was in the kitchen, making our dinner. I greeted her with a hug which she silently liked. I didn't go further than that, it's dangerous to do more when she's cooking.

Afterwards, I found Akane upstairs, in her underwear, trying on the clothes she probably bought today.

"Husband! Don't just stand there and help me here. Tell me what do you prefer?"

Like always, Akane already noticed me even when her back was still turned. After that, she faced me after picking up the clothes she was deliberating earlier. One is a one-piece backless red dress. It flaunts her smooth and flawless back. The other one is more casual and it only shows a bit of her skin.

"I wondered why I didn't see you downstairs, this explains it. Would you believe me if I said prefer both?"

"Right. I already expected that kind of answer from you, doting husband."

She only pouted a bit before putting down the clothes back to bed.

After putting on something, Akane went down with me to take our dinner. This time, we're back to having only the four of us.

Shio was on her way home and I expected her to arrive later. She contacted me earlier while on the train. She will spend her last night here before moving to that apartment tomorrow.

After eating dinner we did the usual routine and ended back in bed. Of course, this time, I also checked on Miwa-nee and Minoru. It's now added to my routine.

When we're in bed, Akane and I once again told each other what happened to our day. Aside from accompanying her parents, they had something like a family day to themselves. She even told me that her parents were thinking of making a 2nd child. They really missed Akane living with them. I took her from them this early even if we're only a few steps away from their house.

Well, I told Akane that next time, we can sleep at their house to satisfy them. I'm just a bit worried about leaving Miwa-nee and Minoru alone here but if it's just once a week, it will be fine.

When she heard my suggestion, Akane was overjoyed and immediately planned to arrange her room for our use. She also missed living with them but if she were asked to choose where she wanted to stay the most, Akane would surely pick me. That's how devoted this girl is to me that's why as much as possible I wanted to do something for her.

When Akane fell asleep, I kept myself awake to wait for Shio's arrival.

It was almost midnight when I heard the sound of her car engine arriving in our yard.

After putting on a blanket to Akane, I went down to see Shio. I didn't wait for her to enter the front door, I welcomed her even before she could exit her car.

Upon seeing me Shio immediately ran towards me as if we haven't seen each other for years. There's a huge smile on her face and her expression seems like she had a lot of things to say to me.

After I reheated the dinner and watched her eat in silence. All those things she wanted to say could wait so I served her until she's satisfied.

"Everything was really forced by them, Ruru."

Shio started when we settled ourselves on the sofa. With the low volume of the TV being our background, Shio snuggled herself onto me before starting to tell me the result of her trip back home.

"I see. So what are your plans now, Shio?"

"Give him what he wanted. I'm divorcing him. Do you think it's the right choice, Ruru?"

"You know my answer to that. I am hoping that will happen but you see, I wanted you to decide for yourself."

She's already thinking about it, she just wanted to hear my real thoughts. Divorcing him is the only way for her to really be freed from that guy. She's still carrying his surname after all.

After spending some time talking about what happened during her trip, Shio fell asleep while leaning her head onto my chest, she was tired from driving and maybe from the things she had to think through. I picked her up and carried her up to my previous room.

When I put her down the bed, Shio's eyes opened before pulling on my arm. Even without words, I understood what she wanted.

I nodded and laid down next to her by slipping myself under her blanket.

"Thank you, Ruru."

Shio whispered after snuggling herself back into my arms. It's not even two days but her eyes were already filled with her longing for me.

To ease that up, I decided to spend the next two hours with her.

This will be her last night in this house so to make it memorable, we became more passionate towards each other. Casting off the thoughts about anything else, Shio and I focused on each other.

Only when she fell asleep with a satisfied smile on her face did I go back to Akane's side.

When the morning arrived, Akane somehow managed to climb on top of me while asleep. Even in this wide bed of ours, the most comfortable place for her is still next to me. I waited for her to wake up before we went down to do our daily routine and prepare for school.

Ah. It's Monday again. Let's not jinx it and pray for a not-so-busy day.

Chapter 203: Mentor Program

"This day marks the 4th week since you started high school. Have you all familiarized yourself with the difference between being a high schooler and being a middle schooler?"

Shio, in a rarest of her mood towards the class, was exuding her happiness as she started the day with that kind of speech.

I wouldn't take credit for that but I guess that's the only reason why she's energetic today. Compared to before when she was being weighed down by her problem in her married life, most of those were already lifted off her shoulders, giving her a new perspective in life.

Watching her from my seat doing her best, I'm having this urge to dote on her.

After a while, Yamada, the guy who kept on asking questions and was always shut down by Shio, raised his hand again.

"Yes, Yamada?"

"Sensei is kind of blooming today, did something happen?"

"That Yamada always seems like he has a death wish. For him to ask that to Miyazaki-sensei..."

I heard someone say from behind.

"For once you're right this time, Yamada. I'm in love. So sit down and shut your mouth, alright?"

When Shio answered like that, various gasps of amazement were exclaimed by the students, except those who knew the story behind it. Me and my girls. All three of them were looking at me instead of Shio. Ah. Chii was also looking at me.

That girl was the one who kept on observing me, she surely noticed something between me and Shio.

"We're going back on topic. Since it's the 4th week, the school has prepared something for the freshmen."

Shio picked up the chalk and started writing something on the chalkboard.

Mentor Program.

It was written in English which is her teaching subject, however, what does it mean?

I didn't need to wait and ask it myself since there's already a lot who were raising their hands.

"Yes. Imada?"

"What does it mean, sensei?"

"It literally means that every one of you will be put under a Mentor that will guide you throughout your 1st year."

"What is a mentor?"

"A mentor is like a teacher. In this case, your mentor will be an upperclassman. As for who it will be, you'll know later. Each of you will be paired up with one and as time goes by there's a possibility that you'll be put under another mentor."

Shio continued explaining to those who have questions about the said Mentor Program. The essence of the program is to follow the example of the assigned mentor. Not to blindly follow, of course, but those mentors will show whoever's under them how to become a proper high school student.

Quite funny in my opinion. There's still a lot of delinquents among the seniors, so how can they mentor someone to become a proper high school student?

Like reading my thoughts, someone asked that to Shio and she answered.

"Don't ask me, I also don't know. This is my first year and this program wasn't there when I was a high school freshman."

Her answer elicited a series of laughs from the class.

After everyone calmed down Shio still explained it from what she knew. The Mentor Program will be monitored by the teachers and the student council. If something inappropriate happens, the Mentor will be penalized. If it was proven that it was the mentee's fault, then the two of them.

As for how they will be disciplined, it depends on what they did. In any case, the mentor will be of the same gender except for a few. There's a higher girl population than boys after all. If one's lucky enough, he'll get a girl as his mentor.

And this Mentor Program will be taking up the time of 6th and 7th period every Monday and Tuesday.

After her explanation, Shio said that our mentors has already been decided and we will meet them later during the 6th period and they will be the one who will clarify most of our unanswered questions.

Apparently, they also experienced the same thing last year so there's that.

When the class calmed down, Shio started her own lesson for the day but yeah, most students were too occupied by the Mentor Program that Shio needed to go back to her strict mode to shut them up on their seats.

Aya giggled at it and looked at me. She knew how different Shio was when she's with me.

"Yo. Onoda, do you have somewhere to go to?"

When lunch break arrived Sakuma approached me.

I already told Satsuki and Aya about spending it alone with Nami for today and both of them consented to it. Compared to them, Nami's time with me was only during lunch while I'm almost always with them everyday.

Aya seems fine now and that part of her has already stopped being sore. That's what she whispered to me earlier along with a bashful smile.

Satsuki also has a smile on her face because of their win in the game and our date yesterday. She also always flashes a smile whenever she will see the keychain that is strapped to my phone.

Aya noticed it and asked us about it. After knowing what that meant, she pulled out something from her book. It's a bookmark. After deliberating for a bit, she handed me that bookmark.

It's one of her favorites and something she also made by herself. She told me that it was the bookmark that she was using when I first talked to her so, like the lemonade, it also became quite memorable for her.

I accepted it and that made that adorable girl delighted and satisfied.

"I have a few minutes, why?"

"Nothing. I just think that we also need to talk."

"Alright. I thought the same but I really only have a few minutes.

"No worries, it won't take long."

Like always, we went to that vending machine to talk. Sakuma looked serious just now and after what happened yesterday, I didn't think he would approach me again. I mean, I literally showed him my relationship with Satsuki and they had that talk which resulted in both of them crying.

"Onoda, what do you think about Maemura?"

"I love her. Isn't that obvious?"

What's with this guy? Asking about the obvious. Is he still not convinced?

"Did you try to help us because you have this kind of motive?"

"What kind? Honestly, I liked her ever since the first time I laid my eyes on her but you two are clearly into each other. I'm not the one who asked for help, am I?"

He asked for my help and I gave him a lot of chances to confess to her. Though I had a plan to take her for myself after that, at least I'm eager to make them a couple back then.

"… You're right. I asked you and you told me that she asked you for help as well. But why did you do that when you already like her? Did you have an ulterior motive? To make her fall for you."

"Sakuma. I think we're already passed this point. What if I did have that kind of motive? What will you do? Punch me?"

Ah. This guy. He's just mad. He couldn't accept that things turned out like this. He didn't expect that after conceding, I would immediately act upon it.

In any case, even without his concession, he'll know about it sooner or later so all of this sounds pointless now.

"No… I..."

"Didn't you tell me about how you wanted to see her sister? How you might really be confusing your feelings for her After yesterday, did that change? Make up your damn mind, will you?"

"I…"

"Haa… Go make up your mind. If you suddenly realize it's her who you truly like, you're late. I followed your advice so blame it upon yourself. Alright, to ease your mind, I did have an ulterior motive. Like I told you, if I truly like someone, I will make her mine. It doesn't matter if you or other people hate me for it."

After saying all that, I turned around and left him on that spot, still speechless and was probably thinking of what he will say next.

I don't have anything against him but that guy really needs to straighten up his mind. Maybe it's my fault for confusing him with my words back then but is he really an idiot who needed someone to guide him? He probably realized that he really likes Satsuki and it's not just him confusing her with her sister. But even if he realized that, it's too late. And there's no way I will give him Satsuki.

It's much better if he turns his eyes away from her.

Haa… If he stays like that, soon enough even his chances with her sister will expire.

Well, it's not my problem anymore.

When I arrived at the empty clubroom, Nami was already there and on the table, two lunchboxes were set.

"Ruu. Here, I told you about this, right? Shizu-nee made us lunch boxes."

A bright smile was apparent on her face as she arranged the table like a housewife preparing the table for her husband.

She messaged me about it but that Shizu-senpai, isn't her change too fast? Or is it because of Nami?

Well, a progress is a progress. I'm happy for both of them.

"I have to thank Shizu-senpai for this later." 𝓝𝑜𝔳𝚎𝒍𝒰𝑠𝔟.𝕔𝒪𝓜

"She will like that for sure."

Will she really like it? If her scary front is there, she will just nod at me as if it's something of no importance.

"I hope so. What do you think? Are you really fine with me also liking Shizu-senpai?"

Nami thought for a while before answering.

"I'm honestly conflicted, Ruu. But seeing her genuine smile when she opened up to me, I can't thank you enough for breaking into her shell."

"Un. It's fine to feel like that, Nami. I'm the hopeless one here. To like and love many girls. I can only be thankful that you're all understanding of this situation."

"You're right. You're hopeless but we are too. Can't you see this? This is what I'm feeling whenever I'm with you."

Nami pointed at her lips that were raised into a beautiful smile. It's a lot more different than her usual smiles that could be seen in class. It's clearly reflecting her feelings as of this moment.

And upon seeing that, my body moved by itself and took that lips into a kiss. Nami's eyes widened upon my sudden action but in the end, she accepted it.

"Ruu…"

Nami could only whisper my name when our lips separated. Apart from that smile, there's now a dreamy look on her face.

"Sorry. I can't help myself upon seeing that smile."

"Sorry isn't enough, Ruu. I want you to spoil me today…"

Still in that kind of state, Nami stood up from her seat and sat on my lap before dropping her lips on mine. For the first time, she's taken the initiative to kiss me. The food on the table was seemingly forgotten as we both indulged ourselves into each other. The mood turned to the same mood as yesterday where we had to stop. Now that we're in a private space, there's nothing holding us back anymore.

With her arms slung over my shoulder and my hands supporting her on her waist and back.

Nami's lips were already red from all the sucking that I've done to it and her tongue that was peeking out from her mouth was also glistening with our mixed saliva.

"Shouldn't we eat first, Nami?"

As if waking up from a trance. Nami's body jolted awake from my words. Her face then blushed profusely which showed how embarrassed she was.

"You should've told me that, sooner. Idiot Ruu."

"Says the one who sat on my lap and initiated that kiss."

I said while putting on a teasing smile on my lips.

Nami could only protest against it by hitting lightly on my shoulder. But even if I pointed that out, she didn't stand up from me. Instead, she fixed her posture from sitting sideways to straddling me.

If Ogawa suddenly appeared from that door, he would surely break. Yesterday wasn't enough. Even if Nami and I clearly went alone somewhere, he didn't even ask what we did.

Chapter 204: Stolen Time Plus

After eating the lunch box prepared by Shizu-senpai, Nami went back to straddling me. Like Aya and Kana, she's in the same weight class. Even if they stay on my lap all day, my legs wouldn't feel cramped.

Even if she wouldn't say it, Nami's dreamy blue eyes already told me everything. This time that we have, she wanted to get the best of it.

After leaving that door, it would be hard for us to be alone again. With that thought in mind, Nami let loose of any inhibitions she had.

Inhibitions about the things that she could do at the moment, for example, stripping me off my clothes and being mesmerized by what she saw beneath it.

"This doesn't look like the body of a teenager, Ruu. How long were you keeping this up?"

Nami's fingers traced along the lines of my body. The way she moved it was so gentle that it made my body tingle in slight excitement.

The other girls used to do this but only Nami invoked this kind of sensation.

"Ever since my desire manifested."

"Eh? That long? But you don't look like those guys who have bulging muscles." 𝒏𝚘𝗏𝖊𝗅𝚞𝔰𝔅.𝑐𝑶𝗆

Nami was kind of surprised but that didn't stop her fingers. After a while, she felt that her fingers were not enough. Using her palm to feel it, the warmth of my body was transferred to her.

Due to that, the blush on her face reddened and her lips dropped on mine again before I could answer her.

"I don't need it to be like that. When I exercise, I focus on every part, not just the muscles. That's why it became this compact."

And seriously, I'm not a bodybuilder. I just wanted to be fit at all times.

Like hers, my hands were also not behaving. It's already stuck inside the hem of her top uniform, feeling her soft skin at her waist and slowly moving upwards.

"I see. You're keeping it balanced. But why do you need to do this? Apart from staying fit. This is more than fit, after all."

"To have the strength to protect myself and the girls that I stole?"

Simple exercises weren't enough, I also studied self-defense techniques and other fighting styles I encountered. But really, my biggest weapon is my observation.

"I see. So even back then, you already have that trait."

Nami continued her kisses and her caresses while my hands were slowly crawling upwards. I could feel her body react to it but she's not stopping me.

"What trait?"

"Your protectiveness. I love that part of you. Despite everything that you said you did wrong, you're not seeing the things that you did right. Uhm it's already in the past and you're already a lot more different than back then. The only thing wrong about you right now is your ability to love multiple girls."

"Ah… I couldn't refute that. You see. Even if I'm aware that I might be hurting you all by loving another girl, I will still do it. I'm still this broken.

"You say you're broken but you're doing a good job keeping us all happy. Even if we're aware, we can really feel how much you love us. If you don't have that ability, will you still look at me? Will there still be us?"

Nami stopped her kisses and stared at me. Waiting for my answer.

I couldn't really lie to her so I shook my head and answered honestly. My hand that was already near her mounds stopped and departed it.

"There will be no us if the desire hasn't manifested back then. I will only be devoted to Akane."

"Akane… she's that childhood friend of yours that is currently living with you."

I already told them about my other girls so they're aware that I'm living with Akane and Miwa-nee. Though they expressed how envious they were, they could only accept it.

"Yes, that's her. She's the first girl that I love. I even neglected her for about 4 years and only now did I remember my feelings for her."

"She waited for you for 4 years. No wonder. I also waited for Kazuo but when I finally had the chance to get him, you showed up before me."

Nami looked out the window upon saying that. She didn't want me to see the expression she was currently making.

"Do you regret approaching me back then?"

I'm not aware what tone I used on that question but when Nami heard it, she immediately turned her head back to me and cupped my cheek on her hands.

"Mr. Stalker, I won't be here with you if I regret it. Don't make that kind of face. I'm sorry."

"What face? And why are you sorry?"

"Just now, your tone sounds like you're in pain and your expression looks like you're about to cry."

"Did I do that?"

"Yes. Ruu, are you afraid that I will wake up one day and go back to him?"

"… I am."

I tried to put on a smile but upon hearing my answer, Nami's arms that were resting on my shoulder moved and pulled my head in her embrace.

Ah. I guess I really did have that kind of tone and expression. I unconsciously put that on when she mentioned Ogawa. I guess I'm starting to worry about them leaving me in the future. When she turned her head away like that, I probably took that as her reminiscing her time with him.

Did I become sensitive about it? Maybe...

Here I am being greedy to have them all live with me in the future but a little action like that was enough to evoke that kind of emotion from me.

"You don't have to be afraid. I've already chosen you, Ruu. I didn't think you could have that kind of vulnerable side on you and I'm glad I got to see it."

"Un. Thank you, Nami and also I'm sorry for showing that side. Did I make you worry?"

"Idiot. That's a normal reaction, Ruu. But like you said before, we're already in an abnormal situation. We're already way past being normal so don't think too much about it. I still don't know what to do in the future but one thing I am sure of is that I want to continue being with you."

Nami started caressing my hair as if she's trying to calm me down and it's really a pleasant sensation.

Even with just this, I could feel Nami's affection for me. I probably looked like an idiot earlier. Ugh.

"Looks like our roles were reversed again. Just like that time when you reminded me of what to do after remembering my feelings."

"We're of the same type of people, Ruu. I guess that made me understand you better than others."

I looked up to Nami and I saw her smiling at me. In that observing eyes of hers, I could see my reflection and maybe she's also seeing the same with mine.

"I see. Can I kiss you?"

"I want to hear something from you first."

Nami shook her head but her smile never left her lips.

Something she wanted to hear…

"I love you, Nami."

Upon hearing that, Nami's smile widened. That red blush on her face also came back.

"Alright. You can kiss me now."

And as soon as she said that, I raised my head from where it was resting without our eyes breaking contact. My arms once again tightened around her before my lips overlapped hers.

The kiss this time was more passionate than earlier and soon enough, it immediately evolved to something more.

With her assistance, her uniform was unbuttoned one at a time even when our lips were still locked onto each other.

And when the last button came undone, Both of us looked down at the now opened uniform, her white laced bra and her alluring slender figure became visible to me.

I looked into her eyes and she answered me with a nod.

"Are you sure, you're fine with this?"

"Un. I want you to look at me and touch me more, Ruu."

When I heard her say that, my hands started travelling from her navel, tracing her figure with my palms until it reached her two mounds that were still covered by her bra.

When she felt that, Nami let out a soft moan before pulling my lips into a kiss once more.

No one has touched her nor seen her in this state before. I could feel that her whole body was trembling from nervousness but at the same time, she's feeling excited.

With my hands cupping both of her breasts, I squeezed it lightly and that made Nami visibly shake from the sensation of her body being touched by me.

From lightly squeezing it, I started to become bolder as my forefingers started looking for the spot where her nipples are located.

When it found that two erect bumps beneath her bra, I pushed at it like a button and that elicited more reaction from her body.

"Ruu…"

Nami could only call out my name as my hands started to fondle her breasts while stimulating her nipples. Amidst all of that, my head started travelling downwards, from her lips to her neck.

At this moment in time, Nami has started letting out more soft moans that she had to use both of her hands to stop it from leaking out. She's feeling it, even if I'm not touching her directly yet.

Chapter 205: Innocent Nami*

When I pulled her bra up, Nami couldn't help but tense up when she felt my soft breath hit her exposed nipples. It's slightly erect and due to what she's currently feeling, it's silently going up and down whenever she breathes.

"This is beautiful, Nami."

"Uhh… are you teasing me or?"

"I'm expressing my admiration."

Nami was already biting her lips as she watched me admire her naked breasts. I know she's not really prepared for this yet, her intention to satisfy me was well projected at how embarrassed she is currently.

"… No one has seen that yet, only you."

"I know and this will only be mine."

To answer her intention to satisfy me, I nodded at her before stretching my tongue out to lick that pink nipple of her.

When Nami felt my tongue touching it, she trembled from the new sensation that she was feeling.

Upon seeing that, I moved my tongue and circled it around her nipples before poking the tip.

"Uhh... There's your possessiveness again."

Only after I stopped for a bit could Nami utter a response. The sensation of having her nipple licked and played by my tongue was too strong for her.

"Is it bad to be possessive?"

I asked before finally putting in her nipples inside my mouth. Her sweet taste immediately engulfed my tongue as I hungrily sucked on it.

"Aahh... It's bad if it becomes excessive."

Nami even tried biting her finger to stop herself from moaning but that didn't do the trick as the way I sucked her nipple made her tremble further from the pleasure. It's all new to her, that's why it's way more effective than normal. Her hands were already at the back of my head clutching at my hair tightly. 𝞰𝗈𝑣𝓮𝔩𝑢𝗌𝒷.𝓬𝗈𝚖

"I see. Then I'll rely on you to remind me if it became excessive. You're mine now."

After turning her pinkish nipple to red, I switched to the other nipple before she could even answer me.

"Un… I will. You know, I wish I could say that too."

"Why not say it? I'm yours right now, Nami. I'm not thinking of anyone but you."

I let go of her nipple and looked up to her. Nami's eyes were a bit moist and her breath had turned ragged from the stimulation she? was receiving. A simple pinch to her nipple would make her body jolt from the pleasure and whenever I suck it or play it with my tongue, she would even moan out from how good it feels for her.

"… Un. You're mine, Ruu. Only mine. Whenever we're alone don't think of anyone else but me."

"I see. My Nami is also possessive like me. I promise. My focus will only be yours whenever we're alone like this."

After saying that I went back to her nipples and started sucking both alternatively. Her taste has become firmly registered in my mind. From the pinkish color earlier, her nipples turned red and grew a bit due to the intense sucking I did to it. Not only that, it became too sensitive that every movement of my tongue and lips would elicit a reaction from her body.

Soon enough, I felt her hands that were clutching tightly on the back of my head pulled it closer.

"Ruu… you're sucking too hard."

Nami's soft voice halted my actions.

"Sorry. Does it hurt?"

"… No, but I'm starting to feel weird. Is this fine, Ruu?"

My gaze went back up to her face and saw the passion and lust that was now apparent on it. The place beneath her skirt has also started to heat up and moisten.

"It means you're getting turned on, Nami. Look here."

I pointed down. Her eyes followed it and saw herself sitting on top of my bulge. Curiously, she moved her hips a bit and that elicited another reaction from her.

"You're hard for me and it seems I'm wet down there."

Nami said as she moved her hips again. The way she moved her hips told me how inexperienced she was and it seemed like her knowledge about this kind of thing was also lacking. Like Satsuki from before.

"Yes, we're both turned on to each other, Nami."

"Will we have sex?"

With her question, Nami's face blushed further that there's probably imaginary smoke exuding out of her head at this moment.

She's really innocent, eh? I thought she would have at least the basic knowledge considering she even took the initiative to strip both of us.

"Not yet. I want it to become special for you, Nami. Also, I can feel your nervousness. I love it when you let me do this to you but don't push yourself too much, alright?"

"Un… Am I not attractive enough for you?"

"What are you saying? You're more than attractive, I'm already really hard and you can feel it. That's how much I wanted to do it with you."

I grabbed her ass and guided her hips that kept on moving on top of me. That action made her moan once again. After a while, I stopped.

Err. I made a blunder. That just made her more turned on and my worry really did come true with her next question.

"Ruu… C-can I see it?"

Nami's hand fell down from my chest and down to that bulge. She pulled herself a bit to reveal the now moist top of my pants and put her hand on it, feeling the hardness hidden beneath.

"Do you really want to see it?"

I asked her one last time and she immediately answered with an excited nod.

I should really stop now but her eyes tell me she really wanted to see it for herself.

"Alright."

I answered and guided her hand to pull the zipper down. Curiously, Nami just watched on as I also unbuttoned my pants.

The shape of my cock that was still beneath the underwear is now in front of her eyes. I looked at her expression and saw her biting her lips as she waited for me to pull it down to reveal it.

"I see so this is your..."

That's the only words Nami could utter as her hand immediately moved to hold it and take it from me.

She really didn't know what she's doing. She's just squeezing it but the sensation of her hand was enough to give me pleasure.

"Ruu... Can I also suck on this?"

Her hand continued squeezing as she asked me that question innocently.

"Eh? Are you secretly a pervert?"

"Uhm. No, you sucked my nipples and I thought I should return the favor."

If I let her blow me, we'll be moving up a few steps in our relationship bit is this really okay? She's a complete newbie at this, unlike Aya who has read about it that when she wanted to give me a blowjob, I let her.

"It's different. It will feel really good for me and I might cum if you suck it for me, Nami."

"That's much better. I want to see that. I want to make you feel good."

This girl… her words now contained her desire. All of that was said in all honesty. Just her face told me that even if I wanted to stop her, she would not stop.

"I really wanted to reject it but seeing your eyes and your desire that was being conveyed to me..."

"Is that a yes?"

What else should I hesitate for? I nodded at her as an answer.

There's no turning back now. We still have enough time. This will not only satisfy her but also me. In fact, I'm already feeling that desire to take her first time here. If not for me wanting to make her first time special for her, we would've already gone past this point.

When she heard my answer, Nami smiled lustfully before expressing it by kissing me and rubbing herself against my cock. Now that it's out of my pants, we both felt good from it. There's now only the thin cloth of her panties separating the two.

After a while, I slowly guided her down to the ground where she knelt in front of me. Under her watchful eyes, I opened my legs wider to give her the space to draw closer.

Nami listened to me as I slowly taught her what she would have to do. How to hold my cock and how to stroke it. Which part would let me feel better and how much she should take inside her mouth.

"Ruu. Don't take your eyes off me."

Nami sweetly called out to me as she started licking the tip of my cock. Her two hands were not idle as the two gripped the body while gently stroking it along with the movement of her tongue.

The pleasure it brought couldn't be described in words, even if she's clumsily doing it, the eagerness to make me feel good covers up her inexperience.

"Un. I'll watch you until the end, it feels really good, Nami."

A smile flashed upon her face when I praised her and that made her tongue to become more eager. It started to lick every part of the head before going down to the frenulum. Since that part is more sensitive than the head, I couldn't help but let out a silent moan which made my cock twitch.

When she felt that, Nami's grip tightened. She then pouted as she looked up to me. She thought I moved it consciously.

Now that it tightened, my cock was now put in place. Nami then opened her mouth wider and put the head inside it.

The sensation of her lips as it slid down from the tip downwards and the tongue which welcomed it inside her mouth further increased the pleasure I'm feeling.

I know she's just following my instruction earlier but right now, she's doing greater than expected. I didn't feel her teeth grazing against my cock and the way she moved her tongue focused on giving me more pleasure.

When our gazes locked once again, I nodded at her. That nod was an answer to that gaze of hers which expresses her desire to take more of my member.

"Nami…"

As soon as she heard me calling out her name, the head that was now bobbing up and down my cock quickened. The hands that were stroking the part she couldn't take in also hastened.

With that increase in speed, I could feel my cock melting inside her warm mouth. The pleasure it was bringing was probably more than what she felt when I was sucking her nipples earlier.

From all this accumulated pleasure, my cum has started building up.

After a while, Nami slowed down as she raised her gaze again to check if I'm still watching her. Sometimes her long black hair would get in the way so to help her, I reached my hands to the side of her head to prevent that from happening as well as support her endeavor.

As Nami continued to suck on my cock, I suddenly heard footsteps coming to our direction. Nami hadn't noticed it yet. But because of that, the thought of being caught heightened the pleasure I was feeling.

With that heightened pleasure, I felt myself reaching my climax.

"Haahh... Nami. I'm cumming"

The footsteps were slow and I couldn't determine if the destination was the room we were currently in but that didn't matter anymore.

When she heard my voice, Nami quickened her movements. The warm and moist sensation of her mouth and tongue plus the thought of someone arriving brought me ecstasy as I blew my load inside her mouth in one quick thrust of my hips.

As my cum continued pouring inside, Nami's head stopped moving but she didn't pull out, instead she stayed still and sucked everything until the last drop.

When I heard the gulping sounds from her, I immediately pulled her up and hastily buttoned her uniform. Though she was confused, her eyes widened when she finally noticed the incoming footsteps.

We're still in the middle of buttoning her uniform when the door opened. My cock was still out in the open. She only pulled the underwear up before sitting back on my lap to cover my opened pants.

"Nanami, Onoda-kun, are you here?"

Nami's uniform still had two buttons left unbuttoned and my upper body was still naked when the voice of the person who opened the door reached us.

My back was turned towards the door so I didn't see who it was but from the voice, it's someone we knew very well.

I could only hear her gasping in surprise before the footsteps turned around and left the room as fast as she entered.

Nami gulped once more to clear the leftover cum inside her mouth.

"…It's Saki-chan."

Saki. That's Imada's first name.

Chapter 206: Teasing Imada

"Saki-chan."

Nami called out to the girl standing outside next to the door.? After seeing us, she didn't really leave the area and instead waited for us to emerge from the room.

"Y-you two. Why are you doing that here? What if it's not me who saw you?"

Unlike her usual sheepish mood where she always teases us, Imada embarrassedly asked after coming back inside the room.

"What did you see?"

"Onoda-kun is naked while you're sitting on him…"

Upon saying that, Imada sneakily stole a glance at me before averting it almost instantly.

From how red she turned earlier and still had it when it's already a few minutes since she saw us, Imada couldn't get it off her mind. She's also someone pure.

Well. Most of them are. I'm the one who always corrupts my girls. And now, even Nami has been corrupted by me. I can still feel that warm feeling of her mouth around my cock. The way she sucked me was still too vivid in my mind.

"She's trying to check out my body for any mole."

"Mole? Who are you fooling Onoda-kun?"

Imada rolled her eyes but when our eyes made contact, she once again averted it. She's too embarrassed to meet my gaze.

Ah. Let's see how she will react.

"You? Well, what do you think we are doing?"

I asked while stepping forward to stand in front of her. Nami who was watching Imada's reaction also looked amused. The embarrassment of being caught by her has already left her mind.

"S-sex."

Imada answered in difficulty and in as low voice as possible. After that, she hung her head low from shame of saying it.

To think that her imagination already reached that far. This girl is something else. Though my pants are open, it's not dropped to the floor.

Ah. My back was turned towards her, I guess she filled in the gaps from the scene she walked into.

"Ah. Did we do it, Nami?"

I smiled and turned to Nami.

And she smiled back, seemingly understanding what I wanted to say.

This girl always gets what I wanted to do. Her observer skills were mostly on point. She will read me and I will read her. That's why even if we don't converse in words, we understand each other.

"Huh? It's too early for that, we kissed intimately though. Look at his neck."

Nami moved and stood next to me while pointing at my neck.

When she said that, Imada cautiously lifted her head to look. It's still a bit red from when she sucked it earlier but it wouldn't leave a mark.

"You two… are you not embarrassed at all?"

The word embarrassed has long left my dictionary. It's another story for the girls though.

Nami still had that amused expression on her face as she lifted Imada's chin and had her look her in the eyes.

"Saki-chan, have you ever kissed someone?" 𝓝𝑂𝒱𝑬𝓛𝑢𝑠𝒷.𝑐𝗈𝚖

"Eh? N-no…"

"I see. Do you want to experience it?"

When she heard that question, Imada threw a question instead. Nami still had her chin on her grip, she could only avert her eyes sideways to escape from Nami's observing gaze but that's not helping too much.

"...Nanami, are you getting back at me for always teasing you two?"

"Maybe? But I'm serious at my question, Saki-chan. Look at how red you become. I can let you experience it."

Nami's lips curved upwards. Ah. She's really back. That scary girl who approached me before. I only wanted to tease her a bit but Nami upped it for a few levels.

"Nanami… You're scaring me."

Imada's eyes were visibly quivering. But she's clearly thinking about whether she would answer her question or not.

"Alright. Let's stop teasing her, Nami."

When Imada heard me stopping her, she finally looked back at me with gratitude in her eyes.

I'm the one who started teasing you, you know?

"Hmm… you don't want to kiss her? Saki-chan is also cute. She won't lose against us."

I get it. She's cute and all but there's no reason for me to do that. Imada's not on my list.

"This girl. What do you think of me?"

"A pervert."

Nami answered almost instantly still with that smile hanging on her lips. I noticed Imada's ears perked when she heard it before stealing a glance at me.

Err… though it's true that I'm a pervert, I'm only like that with them. I wouldn't just lay hand on someone that's not my target.

I went behind Nami and slipped my arms from her side, tightening it on her navel.

Hugging her like this is already almost natural for us. When she felt my arms embracing her, Nami, who's probably having fun teasing Imada, settled down and squirmed closer.

"Alright. I couldn't refute that. Let Imada off the hook. I'm sure she's also surprised at what she saw. Am I right?"

I whispered in her ears but in a voice that was loud enough for Imada to hear.

Imada immediately nodded her head when she heard my question that was directed to her.

Nami, on the other hand, was seemingly lost in her thought whether she would stop teasing the girl or not.

"It's alright now, Nami. Let's just tell her not to tell anyone what she saw."

I whispered to her again. We already teased her enough. And if it somehow became a new rumor. We both know who's the culprit.

"I won't tell anyone. Nanami, Onoda-kun. My lips are sealed tight."

Imada said and even made the gesture of zipping her mouth.

After that, Nami eventually gave up on teasing Imada and relaxed her body onto me. Even with someone in front of us, she seemed to like it when I'm hugging her like this. Just like that time when Tadano also caught us together in this room.

Nami then whispered to me why she thought of teasing Imada like that.

It's the same as how I observed. Even if she was surprised at what she saw, it's unnatural that she kept avoiding my gaze.

She then asked why I stopped her and naturally, I told her my reasons. Imada is different from her and it's different from that situation with Shizu-senpai where the only way to stop her was to shock her like that.

Since the lunchbreak is about to end, we decided to go back to the class with Imada. Though she's still trying to avoid my gaze, Imada managed to relay what she wanted to say. The reason why she suddenly showed up.

Turns out, some mentors had already shown up in the classroom to check out their mentee.

To relay that kind of news to us who were outside the school building, Imada presented herself to do it which led to her walking in on us.

Ah well. It would be interesting if it's Ogawa or Tadano. I somehow like to see their agonizing face if they saw us in that position.

On our way back, I had Nami walk with Imada while I followed behind them. And like I expected, I heard Nami teasing Imada again which made the latter be embarrassed once more.

Unlike earlier, there's now a satisfied expression on Nami's face and whenever she glances at me, there would be a blush on her face.

Nami is surely remembering what happened to us inside that room. Our relationship has leveled up again.

"Ruki. The mentors already left. I got Otsuka-senpai."

Aya excitedly told me when I arrived back at my seat. She only met Otsuka-senpai last Friday but I guess she got a good impression of her. The shyness she had towards new people isn't showing up when she talked about her.

But will they be okay? A shy girl like Aya and that excessively curious girl. That combination… as long as she doesn't teach Aya to be excessively curious like her then it's fine.

We still don't know the content of that Mentor Program anyway. It will depend on how the mentor will do it. It's possible that they'll teach us common knowledge or any interesting things.

In short, it's just hanging out with an upperclassman.

"That's good to hear. Just beware of her excessive curiosity, alright? I'm happy you're not afraid of being under her."

"Un. I feel like I will get along well with her."

Ah right. That curious girl is also part of the Literature Club, they will have a common topic.

Seeing her this cheerful, I couldn't help but pat her head and that made her smile further. This kind of pampering is really fit for this girl.

"What about you, Satsuki?"

"I got the Student Council President."

Satsuki answered but she seemed like she didn't care about that Mentor Program that much.

Of all the 2nd years, she got Shizu-senpai. I don't know what to think from that. Shizu-senpai knew about my relationship with her but Satsuki didn't know that I'm already mixed up with the SC President.

"Actually…"

To not let Shizu-senpai beat me from telling her, I leaned over Satsuki's seat and whispered to her about it.

And when Satsuki heard it, the usual glare she had finally came back as she turned her head to me with a pout on her lips before saying…

"You never stopped working, eh?"

"Un. That's how it is."

I could only nod at her without denying it.

"Idiot Ruki… thank you."

Satsuki scolded me first before thanking me.

Err… if I will interpret that, the scolding came from her slight jealousy and her thank you is for being honest with her.

"I'll tell you more about it when we have time."

I won't neglect them, whenever I have nothing to do and I'm not that tired, I'll spend it with them. Not just with Satsuki, Aya and the other girls too. Especially those not from our school, I'll make time for them even if it's just a few minutes.

"You better remember that."

Satsuki finally dropped her glare after saying that. Afterwards, she became silent again.

Sakuma behind me probably saw all that interaction I had with the two but yeah, his opinion didn't matter anymore so after asking Satsuki, I turned to him and acted normally while asking him about his mentor. We're still classmates and will be in this seat for the whole year unless there's a new seating arrangement after the summer break so as much as possible it's better not to have a strained relationship with him. Even if he didn't want to act friendly anymore it's fine. I deserved it anyway.

Though his answer came a bit late, at least he still answered. He got someone from the same club as him.

"What about my mentor? Did someone come for me?"

"No. No one called your name."

Sakuma answered me before the two girls could.

Chapter 207: Where's my Mentor?

When the bell indicating the end of the 5th period rang out, most students stood up excitedly.

It's now the time for the Mentor Program. Some of them got someone they know as their Mentor while some were just excited for this activity.

Who knows what kind of experience this Mentor Program will bring about? I at least don't want to see Aya become like Otsuka-senpai who has an excessively curious personality. However, having her circle expand is something I want to see. It's also something in line with the things that she can do for what she wanted to be in the future.

10 minutes later, a group of 2nd-year students entered the room, in front of them was none other than Shizu-senpai. Otsuka-senpai and Arisa-senpai were among them.

With their number, it's still not enough for the 30 students in our class.

I guess the others are late. And I still have no idea who's assigned to me.

When they appeared, everyone fell silent especially after Shizu-senpai stepped forward as the representative of the Mentors.

She scanned the surroundings and when she saw me, she stopped for a second before continuing. She's wearing the same amiable mask like how she presented herself during the Opening Ceremony. She'll probably only become the scary Shizu-senpai if she's not in front of a lot of students and since she closed herself with that mask, those she could call as a circle of friends were only Ogawa and Nami's group.

"Year 1 Class 1, some of us visited earlier to check out our mentee and given that your class advisor already explained the program to you, we are starting the Mentor Program today. Mentors, will you please go to your mentee."

With that amiable smile on her face, those who didn't know how she really is also had smiles on their faces while those in that club had complicated expressions.

After saying that, everyone behind her walked towards their designated mentee. Afterwards, she also started walking in our direction and stopped in front of us. This time, she didn't spare me a glance.

"Maemura-san? I'll be your Mentor for this year. Let's get along."

Shizu-senpai extended her hand to Satsuki with the same smile which the latter took while flashing almost the same smile.

"Likewise, senpai."

Somehow, I could feel some kind of standoff was happening during this handshake between them.

When their hands separated, almost at the same time, both of them turned their heads towards me which immediately sent shivers towards my spine.

"Why do they look like they're going to fight each other?"

Aya, upon noticing this strange situation, whispered beside me. When Shizu-senpai heard that, she also threw her a glance which made Aya cower behind me.

Right now, she's projecting that scary aura of hers.

Alright. Let's try to diffuse this situation.

"Uhm... Nice to meet you again, senpai. Please take care of Satsuki for us."

Upon greeting her like that and adding the second sentence, Shizu-senpai's eyes turned into a slit while her smile turned into a meaningful smirk. Even if I turned it to 'us' due to everyone's eyes being focused on what's happening here, she probably translated that as 'me'.

"Leave it to me, Onoda-kun. Don't forget your secretary work for me later, alright?"

This girl…

What should I do here? With her words, everyone now knows that I'm working as her secretary. Even Ogawa and Nami's circle of friends were surprised when they heard that.

And all of them turned to Nami, except Ogawa. They're probably wondering if I chose to work for her to have her accept me for Nami.

"I won't forget it."

Since I couldn't think of any way out of this, I could only answer as such.

"Good. Let's go then Maemura-san."

Seemingly pleased at my answer, she turned around and started to make her way out of the room taking the focus away from us.

"Idiot Ruki."

Before leaving with Shizu-senpai, Satsuki whispered under her breath.

Haa… I guess I can only hope that they won't clash. Satsuki might be foul-mouthed but towards me or maybe Sakuma but yeah, Aya mentioned how she looked scary because of her expression. Somehow, they're almost the same, just that Shizu-senpai's scary front was just a mask.

She won't make Satsuki become scared of her, will she?

"Onoda-kun your popularity never fades."

Another voice commented when the two left the classroom. It's Otsuka-senpai who came to pick up Aya. Just by looking at her, I knew she's suppressing her laugh and curiosity at what she just witnessed.

"… Even you will jump in, senpai. Please take care of Aya for me"

I shook my head and said that in a dejected tone as if I've been wronged.

Upon seeing that, my acting somehow affected Otsuka-senpai and she immediately turned into a dignified upperclassman.

"Leave it to me. It's not like we're still strangers to each other."

"Ruki. See you later."

"Un. Have fun, alright?"

Aya nodded and smiled at me before she followed Otsuka-senpai outside.

Time passed and almost everyone already got their Mentor, some left the room while some stayed. Ogawa surprisingly got Arisa-senpai as his Mentor.

Nami's mentor was late like mine but when she arrived, I was surprised to see Haruko. She first greeted me so I thought she's the one assigned to me. However, she only whispered how she missed me before?moving over to where Nami is with a meaningful smile on her face.

Haruko noticed that Nami was looking over our interaction.

When they left, 15 minutes passed immediately but even after waiting for that long, there's no mentor coming for me.

Could it be that no one was assigned to me? Or I was assigned to someone who didn't care about this Mentor Program? I don't know.

After a while, I noticed?Chii and her mentor about to go out of the room. When she passed by me, she stopped for a while and whispered that I should ask Shio for my mentor.

That girl... Even when talking with her mentor, she's still observing me. Her request from me is still unfinished, there's no way I will walk over to their group and ask Fukuda so it will have to wait.

I thanked her for her advice which she answered with a smile before going over to her mentor. I heard that mentor of hers talking about showing her a trick. As to what kind of trick, only the two of them know. Her mentor is also a gyaru but knowing that she's not really like that, it will just be a matter of time when that identity will start to stick with her. Just like how Shizu-senpai can't really cast off that mask since that's already how she's known by those close to her.

After another 15 minutes, I stood up and decided to look for Shio like Chii advised.

Since it's part of the school program, if I can learn from this then I won't pass on it.

I looked for her around the School Building but I failed to see her, when I asked one of the teachers, he told me that she went back to the Administration Building.

Upon hearing that, I couldn't help but smile.

She's probably in her room there. I can also use this as a chance to spend some time with her even if it's just for a few minutes.

After determining my next destination, I went back to the room first just in case someone arrived when I was outside.

Unfortunately, there's still no mentor looking for me.

"Onoda-kun, wait. Let me go with you."

I'm already about to leave the room again when Mori's voice called out to me.

Since I was occupied with other things, I didn't notice that like me, her mentor also hasn't arrived yet.

"Looks like we're in the same position."

I nodded and said which she answered with a somewhat awkward smile.

And there goes my chance to be alone with Shio...

The others were already busy with whatever discussion they're having with their mentors which made it easy for us to leave unnoticed 𝓝𝑂𝑽𝖊𝐿𝚞𝓈𝚋.𝓬𝗈𝓶

Well, it's not like they'll care about where we will go. We're the only two without a mentor in there. To think that we'll experience this kind of trouble on the first day, will this program be fine?

"Do you think they forgot to assign us one?"

If they did then my problem is easy to solve but if not, I lost the Mentor roulette to land on someone lazy.

"Uhm... I actually know who's my mentor, she told me she will be an hour late. I just don't want to wait alone there."

Eh? This girl…

Is that the real reason?

It's already quite obvious since yesterday, Mori is trying to get my attention. But yeah, it might also be not related to how I like her.

During the class, she's still focused on Ogawa after all.

Am I right at thinking that she's trying to distance herself at Ogawa as a way for him to notice her?

"I see. Now that we're here, instead of trying to find out who's my mentor, let's spend time together, Mori. Just until your mentor arrives."

We're already outside the School Building.

And when I said that, Mori slowed down her steps first until she completely stopped.

As soon as I noticed that, I looked back at her and saw her staring at me. Her face clearly expressed how she was in conflict whether she would accept my suggestion or not.

Maybe she just really wanted to accompany me at first but now that I suggested it, she's now in conflict.

Upon seeing that, I went back to where she stopped and grabbed her wrist. Before she could react, I already started pulling her to the same place where the broken vending machine is located. When she finally had the chance to react, I only felt a little resistance before letting herself be pulled by me while warily looking to our left and right.

That broken vending machine was nearby so it didn't take long for us to reach it. I had her sit on the bench while I sat next to her before asking her a question.

"Mori, have you changed your mind about me?"

She still has that conflicted look but now that she's this close, I noticed that her shoulders were slightly trembling as if something's bugging her.

If it's not about me, then it could only be about Ogawa.

Haa… how devoted can this girl be?

"I see. It's about that guy again. I still can't beat him when it comes to you, eh? Did something happen between you and him?"

Chapter 208: The 3rd Attempt

"N-nothing happened."

Mori answered without looking at me. She was still slightly trembling.

"I see. That's the problem. Nothing is happening. I'm shooting my foot for saying this but, we're still in high school, don't lose hope, Mori."

Of course, I still want her to myself but through encouraging her like this, it will be converted to my points for her. Sooner or later, it will build up enough that she will give up on Ogawa by herself.

"What if after high school he still only sees me as a childhood friend?"

If he didn't break, that's more than possible. But people can change. Even me has changed within a short span of time.

I could use this chance to reel this girl in and claim her for myself but I can't seem to find the motivation to do that.

"Then you have to rethink your circumstances, do you want to be a martyr and wait for him until you grow old?"

She's not as strong as Akane to do that.

Well, there's still a lot of time for her. If a miracle really happened and Ogawa turned his head towards her then she'll win this waiting game that only she plays.

"… No."

Mori thought for a while, maybe imagining herself in that kind of situation. Her shoulders had already stopped trembling and she seemed to have calmed down already.

"See. You should open your eyes. Even if it's not me since I clearly couldn't get in your eyes, you'll probably find someone that can accept your feelings and reciprocate it in kind."

If I can change her mindset here, then I will. Letting her think of another possibility for her.

"… It's not that you can't get in my eyes. I won't be here if that's the case."

"You wanted to torture me by asking me about your problem, right? You know I will answer you honestly."

The first sentence was surely not what she's thinking, I only added that to shake her. She knew me. I've been honest to her since the start. That's one of the reasons she approached me this time. But yeah, if it was any other guy, advising the girl she likes about her feelings for another guy? That's martyrdom.

However, I've already done this many times before. It's just a means to an end. I'm doing this with the goal of stealing her in the future.

"No... That's not--"

Her hand unconsciously grabbed my wrist as she hurriedly tried to explain herself but I cut her off with my next words.

"No. That's what you're doing. You know I like you and you wanted me to comfort you and complain to me why Ogawa's still not looking at you. You also seem to want to use me by distancing yourself to Ogawa and letting him see you're now closer to me than him."

"… Is that how you see this?" 𝒏𝚘𝗏𝖊𝗅𝚞𝔰𝔅.𝑐𝑶𝗆

"If that's not it then tell me where I'm wrong."

"I... I don't know."

She turned her eyes towards me but in the end, she couldn't answer it honestly.

"Mori. Can I kiss you?"

This is the 3rd time that I asked her of this and maybe the 3rd time that she will reject as well. But yeah, she's already conflicted.

I'm sure even if what I said isn't completely right, part of it is.

And with that, I'm guessing that she's also trying to get me for herself. Shower her with the attention I've given her before.

If she accepted then all my other guesses are right and if she rejected then my earlier words are correct.

Either way, I could confirm everything through this question.

"There you go again..."

Mori averted her eyes but I used my hand to turn her head back to me. She told me she wanted to give Ogawa her first kiss, has he already claimed it or not? Probably not. And her resistance this time compared to our previous encounters was minuscule.

Her hand that was grabbing my wrist loosened up. When I felt that, I lifted my arm to have her hold my hand instead.

When she felt my hand on hers, she tensed up but she didn't pull it out.

"Can I? You can answer by nodding or shaking your head. I told you before, I won't do anything without your permission."

Mori closed her eyes before answering and it's not just a nod. She also voiced it out albeit in a soft voice. Afraid that someone might be listening in.

"Y-you can."

Being in this close proximity to her, her pinkish lips parted as if it's waiting for me.

Upon seeing that, I traversed the remaining distance between our lips. As soon as my lips were pushed against hers, my hand pulled her head towards me to deepen it.

From just touching our lips, I started moving. She's clearly inexperienced as this is probably her first kiss but she tried to follow what I'm doing.? When I sucked her lips, she also did the same.

I held off from using my tongue, there would surely be more chances in the future

In a span of two minutes, we continued on our long kiss, whenever our lips will separate for a bit, she will open her eyes to stare at me and I'll do the same. Afterwards, our lips will overlap against each other again, from a normal kiss to sucking our lips, Mori started to gain experience.

When we finished, her face was already too red as if she got drunk from it.

"You're beautiful, Mori."

I whispered before pulling my head back from her.

With this kiss, it proved my guesses from before. This girl is more than just conscious of me.

"You took my first kiss..."

Mori's fingers traced her still wet lips as she looked at me in a daze. What happened hasn't sunk in completely to her.

"You gave it to me. There's a difference. Do you regret it?"

"… Do I look regretful?"

"No, not really. As I said, you look beautiful. I might kiss you again if you kept staring at me like that."

Even after I pulled back, her eyes never left me. That orange eyes of hers were probably trying to record my face in her memory.

"You're still this shameless."

"I'm always this shameless. Why didn't you reject me this time?"

"You know why. Don't play dumb."

"Right. You're proving that what I said earlier was wrong."

"Not only that... Please, you're not dense, Onoda-kun."

"I know. But you're still not mine, right? You still like him. No. You like both of us at the same time."

"… Yes."

That's it. I might've managed to sway her towards me but she's still hoping for him. Her difference with Nami is that she admitted that she now likes both of us. And it was on equal standing.

The way she acted yesterday was not just her acting close to me. I guess that's also why she kept talking to Aya with me as the topic.

"Then I'll just have to steal you completely from him and show you the difference between us."

After saying that, I pulled her into a kiss again and this time, I didn't stop for only 2 minutes. It went on for long that her pinkish lips turned red from how hard I sucked on it. But even with that, Mori accepted it all without any resistance.

"… You didn't ask for my permission this time."

Mori softly grumbled but her words were in contrast to what kind of expression she had on her face.

"Then as compensation, you can also kiss me without my permission."

Upon hearing my words, Mori became lost in her thoughts, maybe thinking whether she should use that compensation or not and after a while, her face reddened further.

"Shameless Onoda..."

"You know, I'm wondering why you're not telling him about Nami and me? That way he will be heartbroken, that's a good chance for you to enter his sights."

I was worried about this before but knowing her, she probably wanted to make him look at her without snitching out my real relationship with Nami.

Even the plan we devised back then was just her having some time with him but that still amounted to nothing. That guy only has eyes for Nami.

"… He'll just be depressed if I did that and you're already planning to tell him, right?"

"Yes. Nami only needed to prepare herself. She's mine now and not his. It's your chance. Will you take it?"

Of course, she will make use of that chance. She's not mine yet, I can't just forbid her from doing that.

"If I did take that chance. What will you do?"

Whether she will succeed or not, it won't change the fact that I like her and she likes me.

"I will make you fall for me completely that you'll forget about him."

"Greedy guy. You already have Nanami and the others. Why can't I do the same?"

Ah. I see. So that's what she's thinking, she wanted us both to herself. However, that won't work for me.

"Like you said. I'm greedy, I don't want to share you with him."

If Ogawa actually started liking her after we revealed Nami's relationship with me to him and Mori chose him between the two of us, I'll just steal her from him. That simple.

Mori was about to reply from what I said when a familiar voice called out to me coming from the direction of the entrance to the School Building.

"Oi. Onoda-kun, so here you are. Huh? Why is Hina with you?"

I turned my head to look at that direction and saw Izumi-senpai, still looking like a delinquent. Her eyebrows were lifted,? clearly interested why I'm with Mori.

But why is she looking for me? Could it be? Is she my mentor?

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 209: Troublesome Mentor

"Well, she got leg cramps so I had her rest here. Anyway, why are you looking for me, senpai?"

I answered a straight-up lie before turning the questioning around.

That way, she wouldn't follow up on her question and instead answer mine. Mori was also surprised at Izumi-senpai's sudden appearance that she seemed to get her tongue-tied.

"Is that so? Hmm."

Izumi-senpai said, clearly doubting my lie. However, she soon dropped it to answer my question.

"I'm your mentor. Why else will I look for you? Get on your feet and let's go."

"You're late for an hour, senpai."

"Don't mind the details, Onoda-kun."

She brushed off my complaint before turning her head to Mori.

This girl is fully displaying how much of a delinquent she is. Truly different if Ogawa's in the vicinity.

"Hina, will you stay sitting there? I'll take this guy away."

"Ah! I'm coming with you! My mentor might be looking for me as well."

Mori looked at me first before answering her while hurriedly standing up to chase after us.

"Is that so? Then why are you with this guy?"

Well, she can suspect all she wants. Mori is also someone who can act after all.

"He was about to ask our Class Advisor about his mentor. I volunteered to come with him but I suddenly felt my leg cramping."

See? Her excuse has more details than mine.

"I see. Beware of this guy. He can say crazy things."

Ah. I guess she's still holding onto what happened the last time we encountered each other.

I turned my head towards her to observe her. A shoulder-length blue hair waved to her right making one of her exposed while the other was covered. Her ear was adorned by a shiny earring. It's probably made from a gemstone. Her uniform was a bit loose with one of the buttons purposely left undone. Her skirt was higher than normal, exposing half of her milky white thighs. Her calves were covered by knee-high white socks.

"What kind of crazy things?"

"Don't tell this to Nami, alright?"

After saying that, she glanced at me first and smirked before closing in next to Mori's ears and whispered.

Alright. She is trying to agitate me but that won't really work.

"Alright. Mentor. Is this what you're going to teach me?"

"Shut up for a minute Onoda-kun."

I guess I got unlucky on the mentor lottery. This Mentor Program will be useless if she continues to be like this.

What should I do then?

"Mori, let's go."

I said and pulled Mori away from her.

She was surprised but when I turned around with Mori in tow, she was speechless.

Mori, on the other hand, also went speechless. Nonetheless, she followed after me while tightening her grasp of my hand.

One step. Ten steps.

After 20 steps, Izumi-senpai didn't call out and I didn't look back. Only when we arrived at the entrance of the School Building did I let go of Mori's hand.

"Why didn't you resist me when I pulled you away?"

"She's trying to make you look bad in front of me and I hate it."

Mori's eyes turned into a slit as she pouted her lips. She's clearly showing her annoyance towards Izumi-senpai.

"I see. You're surprisingly honest to your feelings, Mori. I'm liking you more."

"I'm always like this. Just that Kazuo's avoiding me whenever I will say it to him."

Ah. He's also like you. He's also honest with his feelings however he couldn't muster the courage to confess. Not until Nami made that kind of measure.

"Forget Ogawa. I can treat you better than him."

"I know. But I still like him."

Not for long. I'll make sure you'll forget about him. He will notice one day that you stopped chasing him When he starts looking for you, you're already mine by then.

Well, regardless of whether he started looking for her with affection or not, I will still aim to make her mine. Mori's just someone I put on hold due to her devotion to Ogawa, now that that devotion has been split to the two of us, it's just a matter of time before I take the other half.

"I'm going in, shameless guy. You talk it out with Izumi-senpai."

"Alright. See you later, Hina."

Mori's ears perked up and a smile flashed on her lips when she heard me calling her by her first name. Her conflicted face from earlier has already cleared up. 𝗇𝑜𝓥𝐞𝑙𝗎𝔰𝔟.𝑪𝑶𝗆

"Un. Keep the kiss as our secret, Ruki... And we shouldn't casually call each other by our first name like this, it's fine when we're alone."

"Alright, if that's what you want."

Well, I already made it complicated with Izumi-senpai. I should really refrain on making it more complicated for us. I also have to deal with that delinquent girl. If I can't turn her bad impression of me in a normal way then I'll have to do it unconventionally. For example, stealing her affection for Ogawa as well.

"Onoda..."

After a while, Izumi-senpai showed up and called out to me in a cold sounding voice, however, all of those were ignored by me.

"Yo Mentor, I'm waiting. Where did you go?"

Upon hearing that, Izumi-senpai visibly seethed in annoyance but she managed to control herself as she took a deep breath.

"How thick is that face?"

"I don't know, wanna check it for yourself, senpai?"

I smiled and stepped forward to close the distance between us.

And when she saw that, Izumi-senpai instinctively took a step backwards. When she realized what she's doing, Izumi-senpai stopped and clicked her tongue.

"Alright. You win."

"But we're not playing a game?"

Izumi-senpai put a hand on her forehead before sliding it upwards to grab her own hair which showed her current frustration.

"Just shut up for a moment, alright? I give up. So let's start this program."

"Do you hate me, senpai?"

I took another step forward and she also took another step backwards. She's now trying to keep her distance.

"I don't. I'm just annoyed at you last time."

"Shouldn't I be the one annoyed at you? Why did you make it as if it's my fault?"

Well, I did say those things about making her fall for me but was that enough to be this annoyed?

"Ugh. When will you stop?"

"If you take back what you said back then."

"Are you this petty? It's only a slip of my tongue. I'm frustrated, alright?"

"But that's what you really think about me. Nami's rebound."

"Because there's no other explanation when you suddenly appeared and introduced yourself as her man."

Ah. Right. My perception was already different from them. From my perspective, it's just a simple stealing her affection away from him but for them, it was as if I appeared out of nowhere to break the years of silent romance between the two.

"I see. I guess I'll accept that explanation. Is our relationship unacceptable to you? Are you secretly rooting for them?"

"Of course not. But I'm prepared to be his second. Now that you take the undeniable first, I'm going to aim for the first spot."

Izumi-senpai proudly declares.

"But he only sees you as his cool senpai."

"It doesn't matter, I'll make him be mine soon. Sooner or later, he won't be able to resist my charm."

This girl is full of confidence, eh? But she seemed so timid back when I visited their club room. She only listened and let Arisa-senpai do the talking.

Ah. I guess that's how she wanted to be perceived by him. The cool commanding senpai. But if that's the case, she lost completely against Shizu-senpai who could shut them up whenever she appeared.

"That's some confidence you got there, senpai."

"You know, when you decide to do something, make sure you have the confidence to accomplish it first. If you start doing it while thinking that you might fail, then your chances of failing are higher than succeeding. Remember this, Onoda-kun. Keep a positive mentality."

Positive mentality eh? Will she still stay positive if she failed at something despite her full confidence? In any case, her personality is slowly building up. This delinquent senpai is a bit interesting.

"Wow. That's some wisdom you got there, senpai. Should I take that as a lesson from my Mentor?"

"Suit yourself. Now let's go."

Izumi-senpai shook her and turned around. Upon seeing that I followed behind her.

She's my mentor and she seemed to have something planned somewhere. It's not a group of delinquents who will beat me up, is it?

"I must say, you're really a bit cool just then, senpai. Have we cleared the bad air between us?"

"You know, if you shut your mouth or you cut off that tongue, you'll also be a bit cooler, Onoda."

I guess in terms of being foul-mouthed, Satsuki is still better than her. Even if that girl could only continuously say idiot and pervert, it's filled with her emotions. In Izumi-senpai's case, it's just her way to cut the conversation off. Well, it's still too early to judge. As my mentor, I'll have a lot of time to observe her.

"Alright. I'll take that as a yes."

"Haa. What did Nanami see in you?"

Izumi-senpai sighed as she continued her walk to who knows where with, me following behind her.

Chapter 210: Swap

After a few minutes of walking from the School Building, I got the idea where Izumi-senpai would take me.

The back of the Club Building.

"What are we doing here, senpai?"

Well, not a picnic of course.

Izumi-senpai didn't answer me, instead, she continued to walk across the grassy area behind the Club Building and stopped next to a window of a clubroom. She looked behind first to see for any other passersby before stealthily knocking on the glass.

A few seconds later, the window opened from inside the room, a slender arm of a girl could be seen from where I was standing.

When the window completely opened, Izumi-senpai swiveled back to me and with a little annoyance on her face, she pointed at the opened window. "I told you to shut up. Here, get up from here."

I stepped forward and craned my neck to peek from the opened window. From inside, I saw Arisa-senpai waving her hands at me. Behind her was Ogawa who had a confused look on his face. As his mentor, she probably dragged him to that room, the same way how Izumi-senpai told me to follow her.

Ah. I see. This Izumi-senpai. I think I can understand what she wanted to do here. My only question is... why didn't we enter through the front door? No keys?

Err... Let's ask the question later.

Following Izumi-senpai's instruction, I climbed up to enter the room using the window as the entrance. When Arisa-senpai saw me climbing up, she tried to help me by taking my hand to pull me in.

I could enter by myself but since she bothered to trouble herself like that, I didn't reject her offer. I grabbed onto her hand and used her support to enter the room.

However, due to the momentum of jumping inside and Arisa-senpai not taking a step backwards, when my feet landed on the floor, I ended up being so close to her that she had to hold onto my shoulder. My reflexes also kicked in at the time which circled my arms to her back to stop her from falling down to the floor.

For a second there, her slightly voluptuous breasts were pressed against my chest. The softness and texture I felt from it were similar to Kana albeit a little bouncier.

"Are you alright, senpai?"

My arms subconsciously tightened onto her which pulled her further.

"Un. Better than alright, actually. You're quite assertive, Onoda-kun."

Arisa-senpai raised her head with her eyelashes flickering in a bit of surprise. On her lips was her usual playful smile.

Our faces were only a few centimetres apart. Thanks to that, I captured every change that occurred on her face. Despite her slightly teasing words, what was registered on her face was her embarrassed expression which could be attributed to how we ended up in this position.

"Ah. I'm sorry."

I could hold onto her for far longer to feel her up but yeah, she'll end up totally embarrassed. Besides, there's no reason why I should do that.

I released my hand from her back and took a step backwards to separate myself from her.

During all that, Ogawa who's confused couldn't help but grow a frown on his face.

Is he envious? Not that I care about what he thinks though.

"Hey, Onoda-kun, I felt your heart race. Did it somehow excite you?"

Arisa-senpai bent forward and whispered in my ears.

Her playful nature is this strong eh? How will she react if I played along...

"It does. You're soft and squishy senpai. It's making me want to snuggle to you with only the two of us"

I whispered back and her face immediately turned red with her playful smile frozen on her lips.

She probably thought that I'm like Ogawa who would just turn red when teased by her or any other girls in that kind of playful tone. If she wanted to play like that, then I don't mind it. It's not like I'm taking her to bed.

Arisa-senpai stared at me crestfallen, her words stuck on her mouth.

Upon seeing that I smirked at her before turning my back to check the room I entered.

The place was clearly an empty clubroom but it's too dark here with a few tables and chairs unorganized. There's a side door that would surely lead to the next room, just like that room where we prepared for that act before. Apart from Ogawa and Arisa-senpai, there are no other students here.

I guess my guess is correct.

They're planning to switch mentee, to give Izumi-senpai some alone time with Ogawa.

"Did you see who's Nanami's mentor?"

From the side and while still having that frown, Ogawa directed a question to me.

For the first time, he initiated a conversation with. However, it's still about Nami.

"Yes. A girl 2nd-year senior. You don't have to worry about her getting a male mentor."

It's already mentioned earlier. The population of girls was higher that's why we two both got lucky to have a girl mentor and even luckier that we knew them.

"I see. Did she leave the room?"

Ah. This guy...

"Yes. Her mentor took her somewhere."

"I see. Thanks, man."

"Huh? Why are you thanking me? I'm her boyfriend here, why are you that interested?"

While using a somewhat confrontational tone, I raised my voice at him. He clearly forgot that Arisa and Izumi-senpai knew that I'm Nami's boyfriend and not him.

His expression changed from that slight frown to realization and eventually regret.

Coming to his rescue, Izumi-senpai who had just climbed inside by herself answered for him.

"Onoda-kun, it's not like he'll steal Nanami from you. He's just asking about his friend."

His friend. Yeah right.

"Ah. Sorry. I got a little defensive."

I tapped Ogawa's shoulder before looking for a place to sit and that brought him back to reality. At least, raising my voice like that solidified my relationship with Nami to these two.

That guy was still unaware that he wouldn't be able to crawl back up from that friendship hole anymore.

Since I dropped the topic, Izumi-senpai's mood noticeably lightened. She then turned to Arisa-senpai and woke the girl from her current state.

"Hey, Arisa? Why are you silent there? What happened?"

"Eh? No. Nothing."

If Izumi-senpai didn't call out to her, she'll probably be in that state for a little longer. After that, her eyes and head darted around as if she's looking for someone and when our gazes met, she hurriedly averted her eyes.

What I did at playing along with her really got her good. Maybe she'll stop being that playful with me after experiencing that.

Well. If she continued, I'll just keep on playing along with her until she stopped.

And if they will really swap us. I guess our interaction will be more than awkward.

"What has gotten into you? Have you already informed Kazuo?"

"Eh... No. Not yet."

"What is this about, Izumi-senpai?"

Ogawa asked because he was once again confused at the somewhat cryptic conversation between the two 2nd years.

This guy's state of mind during these few minutes has already undergone more than three changes. Will he be alright?

"If I have to guess, Izumi-senpai wanted to swap mentee with Arisa-senpai, am I correct?"

To break some tension. I opened my mouth which immediately gathered all their eyes to me.

"Huh? Is that allowed? And why do we need to swap?"

Ogawa turned his head towards me and asked.

Now. I don't know if he's really confused or he's acting dumb. Probably the latter.

"Who knows? Let's ask our mentor."

With my answer, the focus switched back to Izumi-senpai.

She threw me a somewhat accusing look first before responding to him.

Ugh. I'm already helping her, why can't she appreciate it?

"Onoda-kun is right. Are you against it, Kazuo?"

"Uhm. Not really against but I'm just wondering why we need to swap."

"Kazuo, you're being dense again. Of course, Izumi wanted to spend time with you."

Arisa-senpai rejoined the conversation by telling him directly what Izumi-senpai was aiming for. She even clicked her tongue to act disappointed at his show of denseness.

"Arisa..."

"Why? Isn't it better than making up excuses?"

Arisa-senpai rolled her eyes to her, completely shutting her down. 𝓃𝓞𝚟𝖊𝑙𝔲𝓈𝑩.𝕔𝑂𝓂

"Then Arisa-senpai will be my mentor for today?"

"You surprisingly agreed too fast, Onoda-kun."

"Well, Izumi-senpai won't take no for an answer, right?"

I shrugged and cast my gaze towards Izumi-senpai's direction and as if being put on a spotlight, she could only nod her head.

"Wait... Is this really allowed?"

Ah. Ogawa. Why don't you drop it already?

"Uhm. There's no rule about it. Only every Monday, Kazuo. Can you grant it to me?"

"… A-alright."

Faced with that request, the good boy Ogawa could only accept. Izumi-senpai even acted cutely in front of him, there's no way he could reject given his nature.

"Since we all agreed. Arisa, take Onoda-kun to the next room."

"You better produce results this time, Izumi."

"I know. Just go..."

Their conversation was clearly heard by us but yeah, since it already reached this point, Izumi-senpai could only follow through. Ogawa was already made aware why they wanted to swap after all.

"Arisa-senpai is a great friend, I'm amazed."

"Shut up, Onoda-kun."

Arisa-senpai pouted as she grabbed my wrist and started to pull towards the side door.

"Eh? Are you mad at me?"

"E-earlier... Nevermind. Let's leave the room for them."

"I don't really get it but I'm looking forward to learning from you, senpai."

Of course, I'm lying. I completely get it. Everything that happened in this room and even this playful senpai's reactions to me.

It's tiring to act oblivious and Ogawa was doing that everyday. That's kind of amazing, isn't it?

If Hina knew this happened after she left, what will she think? Well, she'll be mine anyway. I'll let her know this swapping that occurred but first I have to get something from this Mentor Program.

Chapter 211: Bet

The room we went into was quite dusty, unlike the other one. This one was surely a room that wasn't used for long. However, the chairs and tables the previous occupant of this room or whoever last cleaned this room organized everything properly.

I ignored whatever it was that was happening at the room we were at and moved to one of the small tables to dust it off.

I'm here to learn after all. Making Arisa-senpai flustered earlier was just something I needed to do to intimidate her. Otherwise, she would keep that playful attitude towards me. I was just surprised that the result was more than I expected.

"What are you doing Onoda-kun? Don't you want to see what's happening there?"

Arisa-senpai who was peeking using a small slit from the door asked me. Her eyes blinking in confusion.

It's Ogawa. Nothing will surely happen except he will get flustered like many indecisive virgin harem protagonists.

"Preparing a table and chair for us, senpai. It's not fun watching others flirt."

Though my desire was already kept in check, there's a possibility that it might break out again. It's true that those who I targeted were someone I liked but it's also possible that I only started liking some of them when I found out that they're in a relationship.

If I witness something similar to that first incident with Chii, there's a possibility that I will add that girl to my list. That's how complicated my desire is. That's also possibly why it never faded even after realizing a lot of things.

It got more complicated however, it also allowed me to at least control it.

Izumi-senpai is one thing since she's already close to becoming a target but Arisa-senpai is different. I feel like she's someone that I can be playful with without developing feelings for her. Like a friend with benefits.

However, I'm also restraining myself from entertaining that thought. Right now, she's my Mentor and I'm here to learn.

Err... At least, that is what's running on my mind.

"Eh? You seem eager to learn, huh?"

"Well, I needed to learn a lot because I won't have the time in the future."

"You sound like you're in a hurry to think about your future, Onoda-kun. Why don't you enjoy your high school life first?"

If she knew what I was doing since middle school, I already enjoyed everything thoroughly and I'm still enjoying it with my girls.

"I am already enjoying it but I also want to learn something from this."

"You're no fun, Onoda-kun. Come here and let's watch them. It's the first day of this program anyway. Next Monday, I'll get serious at being your mentor during the swap. Promise."

"If you even go as far as promising like that..."

I guess it's useless to hope to learn at this program today. Then to not waste time, I'll accompany this senior on her fun.

I picked two chairs and brought them near to that door.

Upon seeing it, another bout of confusion appeared in Arisa-senpai's eyes.

"… Alright. I give it to you, you're considerate but we don't need that."

"Just in case we got tired of watching them, senpai."

Like her, I peeked at the small gap on the door to see what's happening between Ogawa and Izumi-senpai.

And as expected, my vision was met with Ogawa who had seemingly frozen on his seat when Izumi-senpai went behind his chair and leaned forward.

"That indecisive guy is at it again. No wonder you got Nanami to say yes to you. Your assertiveness is much better than that kind of indecisiveness."

Arisa-senpai clicked her tongue and bit a fingernail on her thumb as she continued watching them.

"All of you keep on comparing us, senpai. Even if he's not that indecisive, I'll still be able to win Nami's hand."

"You're really confident, Onoda-kun. What makes you say that?"

Because I did exactly that? I successfully stole her from him after he stopped being indecisive. Now there won't be a reveal that we're just acting to you and your group of friends. 𝒩𝐎𝚟𝑒𝓵𝐔𝓢𝒃.𝓒𝗈𝗆

As if I could answer like that.

"I might not be as good looking as him but I have my ways."

"Just like what you did earlier, huh?"

Arisa-senpai smirked as a hint of red once again appeared on her face upon reminding herself of that moment.

"Did that score some points to you, senpai?"

"It did make my heart race a bit. But you should stop doing that. You already have Nanami."

"You started it, senpai. I'm just playing along with you."

Though I did play along, I admit that I overdid it. But I wouldn't tell her that.

"Ugh. Right. It was my fault. But as a senior, shouldn't you let yourself be teased by me?"

"What kind of logic is that?"

"My kind of logic."

She answered proudly while pointing her forefinger to herself with the same playful smile on her face.

"Alright. I'll let you tease me sometimes. By the way, what does Izumi-senpai see in him? I get that he's handsome. Is that all she's looking at?"

"I also asked Izumi about that, do you know what she told me?"

"Uh. How would I know?"

My response made her giggle as if that was her expected answer and she intentionally raised that question.

"I like your reactions, Onoda-kun. You see, she's a delinquent, right? And that's how she wanted the other students to see her. However, deep inside, she also wanted someone to disregard that and approach her without flinching from her attitude and character. Kazuo did exactly that during our middle school. Despite all the bad words, the glares and the tough acting she did, he will still greet her normally, like any other students he will come across."

"So she was taken in by his impartiality and kindness?"

If that came from Izumi-senpai's mouth then it must be the truth. That main character trait really pulled her to him.

"You could say that."

Arisa-senpai answered with a nod after some thinking.

"How about now? Look at him."

I pointed at Ogawa who's like a turtle hiding in his shell to avoid the blatant flirting Izumi-senpai is doing.

Haa... If I was him. I would've already pushed Izumi-senpai down the floor, reversing our roles. But that's Ogawa. Unless he experienced a setback that will lead to character growth, he wouldn't change.

But yeah, his setback will soon drop upon him. We'll see when that happens.

"He'll give in soon enough. Her greatest rival was already taken by you after all."

"Is that so? Should we make a bet?"

I asked her. I intentionally sounded doubtful. If it's just watching Izumi-senpai trying to break past his turtle shell, it's too boring. I'd rather leave and spend some time with my girls.

However, I can't do that. So betting to add excitement it is...

"Oh? What will we be betting on?"

Her eyebrows perked up, obviously interested in my suggestion.

"Whether Ogawa will give in or not."

"Sure. Then I will bet that he will give in."

Arisa-senpai's lips stretched into a grin as she instantly picked what I expected her to pick.

"Now, you're the confident one, senpai. I'm sure he won't give in so that's that."

"What will we use as betting chips?"

"If you win, I'll be your lackey for a day."

If I lose, it will not be that bad. I can control this girl if I want to but yeah, I will be fair of course since I suggested this bet in the first place.

"And if you win?"

"I'll think about that when I win. Deal?"

"Alright. Deal!"

Arisa-senpai excitedly shook my hand as we went back to watching him. This time, we're a bit closer to each other wherein our shoulders were touching. I noticed that and of course, she also did.

"With this, it won't be as boring to watch now."

"You better prepare yourself to be my lackey, Onoda-kun. Look, he's now looking at her."

"Looking is not giving in, senpai. See. He couldn't hold on for longer than 5 seconds."

Izumi-senpai managed to get Ogawa to look at her but he got flustered too fast.

On my side, Arisa-senpai gnashed her teeth in frustration.

"Can I slap him, Onoda-kun?"

"Go ahead."

I can even help you if you want.

That Izumi-senpai is also tough, eh. Like Nami, she created a situation wherein he would be pushed into a corner. Even if it will look like she's lowering herself to him, she still did it.

"Ugh... It's frustrating to watch."

"I guess I will win our bet, senpai."

"Don't be so sure. Izumi has more cards hidden."

Just like Arisa-senpai stated, Izumi-senpai did another move. She cupped his cheeks and forcefully made him look at her as she slowly moved her head towards him.

That girl resorted to that kind of drastic measure, eh? Forcefully kiss him?

"Hey. That's cheating."

"All is fair in love and war. Don't you know that phrase, Onoda-kun?"

With a triumphant smile on her face, Arisa-senpai proudly preached.

However, what happened next froze that smile.

"I'm sorry, Izumi-senpai!"

Ogawa grabbed Izumi-senpai's shoulders and pushed her away from him, just enough so that he could get out of his situation. After that, he stood up and bowed at her before leaving the room.

As expected from him. He never disappoints.

"Ah... He ran away."

Checking up on the two girls' reactions, Izumi-senpai was left standing there staring at the opened door while Arisa-senpai immediately emerged from the room to go to Izumi-senpai's side. The latter looked like she's in shock while the former put her in her embrace.

That girl is really a great friend, eh?

"Should I bring him back here?"

Acting concerned, I asked after I emerged out of the room.

"Let that indecisive guy be. Just close the door for us, Onoda-kun."

Arisa-senpai answered. Izumi-senpai's face was buried on her shoulder while the sounds of her sobbing started leaking out.

She's really wasted on him, eh? After all of what she did, it only resulted in him running away.

Well, her approach was also a bit forceful. She could just talk to him first and lead him on bit by bit. There's a lot of wrong on the steps that she did. But who am I to voice that out?

"Alright."

After I closed the door I went back and observed the two. What should I do in this situation? Should I leave the room for them or wait it out until Izumi-senpai calms down?

Chapter 212: Reenactment

I had nothing to do so while waiting, I went out to buy us drinks.

There's still an hour left before the bell rang. My girls are all busy and I can't make an excuse to see Shio in her room. I have no choice but to pass the time with the two seniors.

After arriving back in the room, Izumi-senpai already calmed down but she's still huddled up on Arisa-senpai's chest while she's patting her back.

"Senpai, here drink this first."

I handed two cans of soda to Arisa-senpai. She took it and mouthed her thanks before having the cold can of soda touch Izumi-senpai's cheeks which instantly made the latter quiver in surprise, separating her.

"Arisa…"

Even with her eyes, still a bit red from crying, Izumi-senpai pinched her friend's cheeks in retaliation before grabbing the can from her hand.

"Cheer up now. Onoda-kun even bought these for us."

No. I didn't buy it for free. I'm going to ask for your payment, you know?

"I... I don't really need it."

"Tsk. Stop acting like a child, Izumi."

Eh? What happened here? Their roles were somehow reversed. Now it's Arisa-senpai who's reprimanding Izumi.

"Ugh. Thanks for this, Onoda-kun."

Izumi-senpai gave in and like a child who got scolded, she whispered her thanks. Her previous delinquent air nowhere to be found.

"Is it too late to ask you to pay for that?"

"You just had to ruin my good impression for you, Onoda-kun."

Arisa-senpai acted disappointed while hiding her playful smile. Izumi-senpai, on the other hand, averted her gaze after thanking me. Like the Arisa-senpai, she also thought I'm treating them.

"Haa. Alright. It's probably rare seeing Izumi-senpai this timid anyway. I'll take that as the payment."

"Oi, Onoda-kun. Who are you calling timid?"

Izumi-senpai glared at me and went back into her character.

"Don't act so tough now, senpai. Ask Arisa-senpai what she thinks about what she witnessed earlier."

I smirked and pointed at the other girl who's smiling playfully again.

Whatever it is that's on her mind, it's probably about how I called Izumi-senpai timid.

Instead of being played at by her, I guess I'll pass the time teasing these two.

"Hey. Why did you drag me into this?"

As expected, Arisa-senpai also glared at me. That pouted lips and puffed up cheeks of her reminds me of Akane.

With this, I'm experiencing another case of being glared at by two attractive girls.

"I'm sure you also understand what I'm saying, senpai. You want to help her, right?"

From this short interaction with her, despite being that playful, she's genuinely trying to help Izumi-senpai to get together with Ogawa.

"Ugh. I do. But it's not something I can show with words."

"I'm here. I can act as Ogawa for you. Use me as you like."

Ah. That sounds wrong...

"Arisa. Show me..."

Izumi-senpai added. After hearing our conversation, she's now eager to see what it was that we're talking about.

"… Fine! Sit here, Onoda-kun."

"You're really a great friend, senpai. I'm your admirer now."

"Shut up. I don't need a cheeky admirer."

Well, I have nothing to do. Normally, I will try to be with one of my girls or one of my targets whenever I get free time or I will be using it to do something productive.

However, this time, it's different. It's surprisingly relaxing... I guess I'm kind of having fun like this. Without thinking about how I can steal or get Arisa or Izumi-senpai's affections.

Yes. Even when I witnessed that, I'm still not inclined to target Izumi-senpai.

After I settled myself on my seat. With Izumi-senpai watching intently in front of us, Arisa-senpai put herself behind me, reenacting what they did earlier.

"See here. Arisa. We both know how Kazuo is easily flustered so you shouldn't have started by putting your hand on his shoulders."

After saying that, she grabbed the backrest of the chair I'm sitting at, her fingers only brushed on my back as it slowly tightened her grip on it. After that, she slowly lowered her head and leaned forward, with her chest slightly pressing on my back.

When her mouth lined up on my ear, her slightly seductive voice quietly whispered.

"Onoda-kun... Won't you give me a chance?"

These are the words Izumi-senpai said to Ogawa earlier but less seductive. It's like she's commanding him. But that's her character as a delinquent. She's not a softie so I think she did this part well.

"Err... W-what are you talking about, senpai?"

Since I'm acting as Ogawa. I have to be indecisive and super dense. But yeah, my acting doesn't really matter. It's all about how Arisa-senpai can seduce me enough to accept her advances.

Ugh. But I'm not confident to act as indecisive as him. If this girl really did it better, I might not be able to resist getting out of character.

Izumi-senpai who's in front of us had her eyes stuck on us, taking in everything that was happening. No. She's taking in every move, Arisa-senpai did.

"You don't have to act dense. You know what I'm talking about."

This time, Arisa-senpai lifted her hands off the backrest and slowly crawled it upon my back until she reached my shoulder. As her grip tightened on it, her breathing rhythm was quickening at a moderate pace.

"Senpai..."

"Get in character Onoda-kun. This is for Izumi."

Was I out of character there? Ugh.. this girl really knows what she's doing, eh?

I calmed myself down and after being reminded, I put myself back to character. Izumi-senpai was still looking at us, her eyes were now glued on how close Arisa-senpai is to me.

Eventually, her warm breath already filled my ears that if I looked at it in the mirror, it would show me how red it is. Then one of her hands released my shoulder from her grip and moved up to hold my chin. Using only a minimal force, she led my head to turn sideways and face her.

When our gazes met, Arisa-senpai didn't avoid it and instead, her lips put on a seductive smile with her tongue licking her lips to get it wet.

To act like Ogawa, I closed my eyes and forcefully turned my head back to the front and lowered it.

"See that. Izumi? Onoda-kun maintained eye contact with me longer than Ogawa did to you." 𝗇𝑂𝒱𝔢𝓁𝐔𝓈𝔅.𝑪𝑜𝑚

Arisa-senpai proudly said to the girl in front of us. Afterwards, her arms circled to my neck and rested her chin on my shoulder.

"With this, he wouldn't be able to run now. Hey, Onoda-kun. Look at me."

As she directed her sentence to me, I unconsciously followed it.

Right. Her seduction is quite effective even if I put myself in Ogawa's character. The gestures and the tone she did was enough to produce that effect.

"… I see it now. I shouldn't have rushed and forced it on him."

I heard Izumi-senpai said but my eyes were already glued on Arisa-senpai and she's the same. Her wet lips slightly quivered.

I don't know if she was also affected by her act but I knew I'm already out of my character as Ogawa.

"Senpai... Do you still want to continue?"

I lifted my hand and slipped it on the back of her neck. That somehow woke Arisa-senpai up as she blinked her eyes, blushing completely. A few seconds later, she nodded her head as an answer to my question before speaking, her voice was already in a different tone than earlier.

"Watch Izumi. Only when he did this will you go for it."

She pointed at my hand that was holding the back of her neck. Even without me pushing it forward, she's doing it herself.

As the distance between our lips shortened, we both started to feel and smell our breaths. Her eyes already have that desire as it is completely focused on my lips and that goes the same for me.

I admit. I got completely affected by what she was doing. Only Ogawa would be able to resist that.

"Onoda-kun. We're done acti--"

Before she could finish her sentence and pull out, my head moved towards her as she tried to retreat, but with my hand on the back of her neck, she failed to do so.

And that led for our lips to touch. When it did, Arisa-senpai froze and closed her eyes.

"Y-you two. What are you doing?"

I ignored Izumi-senpai's voice and pushed my head further to deepen our kiss. Arisa-senpai wasn't really resisting, in fact, I could feel her arms that were hugging my neck tighten slightly. When I felt her lips parted open, I used that chance to adjust and deepen our kiss.

Seconds passed and Arisa-senpai started responding to our kisses. When I sucked her lower lip, she returned it by sucking on my upper lip.

Afterwards, her tongue slithered its way inside my mouth and I welcomed it completely. She clearly has experience at kissing and she's fully utilizing it now, ignoring the fact that her dear friend is currently watching us.

Our tongues entangled each other and we started to suck on it alternately. When our lips separated for a bit, I pulled her from the back and had her sit on my lap before continuing on our making out.

It's like she's a natural at using her tongue. She knew when to push in or pull her tongue out wherein I would follow it and our tongues would be entangled once again. After that, we would then focus on each others' lips and we continued for minutes.

"Arisa... Hey. Until when will you do that?"

Izumi-senpai's voice once again registered on our ears and this time, it successfully pulled us out of our trance.

Our tongues untangled while leaving a string of saliva between us.

"Ah... Izumi. T-this... We had just shown you what would've happened if Kazuo finally gave in."

Arisa-senpai immediately came up with an excuse while stuttering with her words.

I guess I need to support that claim

"Yes, senpai. Ogawa will do this. He will take the initiative just like what I did."

"Onoda-kun. Do you think I'm a fool to believe that?"

Of course, that excuse wouldn't really pass. Whoever would accept that is an idiot or intentionally playing dumb.

"I guess not?"

"Ugh... Watching you two make out like that. What will Nanami do if she heard of this?"

"… Keep it a secret for us?"

Arisa-senpai answered her in a silent voice.

"Arisa... You. Why did you let him kiss you?"

"Uhm. I got done in by the situation."

"Then why are you still on his lap?"

Arisa-senpai immediately stood up and went behind her after hearing that.

"Alright. It's my fault. Blame it on me, senpai. Arisa-senpai was really thinking of showing you the ropes on how to successfully do it."

"Don't. Onoda-kun. I'm not someone who will push the blame on someone else, I also got the same urge as you so we're equally at fault here."

Arisa-senpai responded and also took the blame.

"Haa. I don't know what to do with the two of you. I'm going out first."

Izumi-senpai stormed out of the room with her hand on her temple.

As we watched Izumi-senpai leave, we fell into silence and slowly turned towards each other.

"Err... Senpai. It was amazing."

"Cheeky guy. It really was but that's a one-time thing, alright? You have Nanami."

"I know."

Nami will hear about this anyway. But yeah, even with that happening between us. There's no inkling to take her as my woman. Like she said, we got taken in by that act.

However, one thing's for sure, she's really great to be friends with.

Is this good or bad? I don't know.

Chapter 213: Lecture

Arisa-senpai kept reminding me about it being a one-time thing as we left the room to look for Izumi-senpai. However, before we decided to leave, we once again got taken in by the earlier mood when our gazes met. Also, knowing that we have the room to ourselves, it heightened that earlier desire.

With gestures as our form of communication. I picked her up and sat her on the table.

Arisa-senpai didn't resist and just let it happen again. She circled her arms to my neck to pull me in while I held her at her hips to also pull her in which made us become entangled to each other.

When our lips met once again, we made out with a much higher intensity than earlier. From the normal kiss to sucking our tongues and neck. We only stopped when I tried to go lower than that in which we both stopped ourselves.

When we separated, none of us talked about what just happened and silently walked out of the room. While keeping some kind of distance.

There's still that aftertaste that it might be ignited again if we stuck close together.

I already wiped away the sweat and saliva which stuck on her but she's still too red when we moved on to a brighter place.

I know that if I said something, she would tell me to shut up so I decided to not mention anything.

I guess this could be what I would call cheating in my not-so-normal life. Without any romantic affection, I got taken in by the temptation.

I categorized Arisa-senpai as someone I can be friends with without developing any sort of affection just earlier but to think that it would immediately manifest like this...

If my girls heard this from me, they will surely be hurt, they will think that I'm not getting satisfied with them.

Ugh... But still, I wouldn't choose to hide this. I had my fun without thinking of getting any of their affections. What I felt earlier was still the same. Also, Arisa-senpai, she felt the same. Even after all that, I'm just that cheeky junior of hers.

10 minutes into our search, we found Izumi-senpai talking with Ogawa inside their clubroom. Well, we didn't really see but when we walked by the door to their clubroom, we heard their voices.

Ogawa kept on apologizing to her while Izumi-senpai was trying to calm him down. As to whether they will have progress after that, we'll know later.

"Should we enter?"

I asked Arisa-senpai at my side which she answered by shaking her head.

"I think it's better to leave them alone. Izumi will be more comfortable that way. You can go now, Onoda-kun."

"I see. There are still around 10 minutes before the bell rings. I'll wait it out here with you, senpai."

My destination after this Mentor Program will be the Literature Club before going up to the Student Council. I hope they get along well. Satsuki and Shizu-senpai, Nami and Haruko, Aya and Otsuka-senpai.

"Cheeky guy... Suit yourself. The others will also show up soon so let's sit here."

"Your skirt will be dirtied there. I'll go get some chairs."

Before I could even take a few steps, Arisa-senpai already grabbed my back collar and was trying to pull me back.

"Oi! Onoda-kun. Stop! You shouldn't always show that side of yours. You're not trying to make me fall for you, am I correct?"

I stopped my feet and faced her. I'm not really trying to make her fall for me, otherwise, I would've done that earlier when we're in that kind of situation so I nodded as an answer.

"Yet, you're unconsciously doing that! If it's not me, I'm sure the girl will start thinking of you as a guy who's trying to earn her affection"

Eh? But this is how I am ever since, right? Is there something wrong at what I am doing?

If something is different than normal then it will be...

Ah!

Right. She's not one of my girls nor one of my targets. She also pointed this out earlier when I brought the chair we could sit onto when we were peeking from the dusty room.

I see... I already had the habit of being considerate to a girl that's with me. Regardless of whether they're my target or not.

But is that enough to make someone fall for me? It's not enough, is it?

"Is that how it is? Can I not be considerate to a friend?"

After our interactions, of course, we're more than just friends now...

"You're more than considerate, Onoda-kun. Haa. Despite how great you are at carrying yourself, I can't believe you can also be this dense. Come and sit here and let me lecture you about girls."

Arisa-senpai sighed at my answer. Afterwards, she sat next to the door and tapped the space next to her.

"Uh. Okay."

Ignoring the somewhat dusty floor, I sat next to her like she commanded. Like an ignorant guy, I will be lectured... About girls...

After all of the experience I accumulated, I still have a lot to learn...

"Because it's you and with what happened between us, I know you're not actively trying to make me fall for you. You found me attractive but that's not to the point that you'll develop feelings for me... I'm also the same. That's also what I think of you."

We're really at the same page on that, eh? But this senpai, is she always this sharp? Or is it because I am in close contact with her that she started to notice things about me? Am I like an open book?

"But you see, Onoda-kun. Every move you make, especially when it comes to girls. You're putting on too much of your care and consideration. Not just with me, it even shows when you're dealing with Izumi."

"Izumi was a fool in love with Ogawa so she couldn't notice that but I'm different. Starting from that jump of yours inside the room. You didn't hesitate to touch me and take me to your arms to prevent me from falling."

"I may be playful at that time, nonetheless, it made my heart skip a beat when I felt your touch and your face which showed its concern about my well-being"

"True. You're not as handsome as Kazuo but your manliness you showed me was way above him. You didn't back out with my teasing and instead made that kind of counterattack. And when we're inside that room, though your focus was on what you wanted to learn from the Mentor Program, the first thing you did was clean a place for us. Without any complaint."

Arisa-senpai paused and turned her head to me to check whether I was still listening to her.

"Are you following me, Onoda-kun?"

"Yes. Please continue, senpai."

I nodded at her. It's kind of scary but now that I think of it, she's correct.

"You asked why Izumi liked Kazuo, you knew his nature of being indecisive. Unconsciously, you're concerned about what Izumi was trying to do. And when she was crying. You left the room for us and brought us drinks. You probably thought that you can ask us for the payment to lift the mood in the room or maybe this is just me overthinking that situation. In any case that became the effect of what you did. Every move of yours was filled with careful consideration for us."

"And when we gave in to that temptation. You're unconsciously trying to lead me on but when you noticed that I'm experienced, you let me do what I wanted..."

"Ah. Let's skip the next part. We both know what has transpired between us. And now we're here, you're still full of considerations. If it's not me, I would've thought that you're trying to earn my favor and from the actions you showed me, I will give you perfect points. You're a perfect boyfriend material and Nanami's too lucky on that."

Perfect? How did she arrive at that conclusion?

"Do you understand what I'm trying to say, Onoda-kun?"

"That I might be misunderstood by the other girls I'm not going after if I don't restrain myself from being too considerate?" 𝗇𝑂𝒱𝔢𝓁𝐔𝓈𝔅.𝑪𝑜𝑚

If I retain that habit of being considerate to every girl I will spend time to, there's a high chance that they'll start looking at me favorably. This isn't narcissism… Arisa-senpai clearly explained it. Maybe to some, it will not work but if I keep doing it, sooner or later I will become like Ogawa who have girls chasing after me.

Ah... There's already a lot of them chasing after me. Those girls from my middle school who I still haven't met yet. They're the actual evidence to what Arisa-senpai said.

However, I also like those girls, after reconnecting to them through Messenger. So it's not wrong to be considerate to them.

"… Yes. At least you got the gist of it. You should restrain that excessive consideration or you might become Kazuo who's being chased by girls he couldn't give his affection to. He's a fool to your girlfriend after all but even with that, I could see that Nami is more serious to you than when she was still chasing after Kazuo."

"Your approach might be somewhat different from each other but the result will be the same. It's even more dangerous for you since you're not indecisive like him. Maybe in the future, I will hear from Nanami that you're cheating on her..."

And there. She also has the same conclusion about becoming similar to Ogawa.

But cheating on Nami? I already cheated on her with you, senpai...

"I'll take these reminders to heart, senpai. Thank you."

"This cheeky guy. Just follow what I told you so you will not have a problem with Nanami, alright?"

"Yes."

I couldn't tell her and I shouldn't tell her. At least, for now. Her view of me will surely flip out if she finds out that I'm loving multiple girls and not just Nami.

Amidst all this, what I'm not clear about is... Arisa-senpai is possibly avoiding a romantic relationship with anyone. All of what she explained could also be applied to her. She only put in the front that she knew I was not actually trying to make her fall. Did something happen to her in the past that concerns that?

Chapter 214: Progress

The lecture given by Arisa-senpai ended at the same time as the ringing of the bell which indicated the end of the 7th period and school hours.

I thanked her for the lecture and when I was about to mention what happened to us, she stopped me and once again enforced the one-time thing mindset.

When she said that, I realized I'm becoming too affected from what happened to us. That's why like her, I convinced myself that it's a one-time thing. The doubt I have about the possibility of her being averse towards relationships could be put off for now. Unless she mentioned it, I won't ask. It's her privacy.

At least, in the end, from just being a friend of my girlfriend, she really became my friend.

Err… Maybe more than just a friend. She's my playful senior while I'm her cheeky junior. We just have to avoid remembering what happened and we're good.

I went back to the classroom to get my bag. The others who left with their mentors were also flooding inside to get their things. Aya had a satisfied smile on her face when she came back to the classroom. Like a little child, she told me how Otsuka-senpai showed her her collection of books and short stories she personally wrote. I'm really glad that she enjoyed it which made my hand naturally move to pat her head which made Aya's grew even wider.

After that, she asked me about my mentor so I whispered to her what happened. About the swap and what happened between Arisa-senpai and me. She didn't know her so she expressed her doubt. Thinking that I was just restraining myself on liking someone again.

I do like her but not to the point of adding her to my girls. I couldn't explain it clearly. But I feel that if I tell her that I like her, her reaction will be distancing herself from me.

Maybe in the future but not now. I'm liking our current situation and the lecture she did really hit hard. I don't need to be overly considerate to the girls I'm not targeting.

When Nami and Hina came back they could only look at me from their seats. After I nodded at the both of them, Nami noticed how I looked at Hina. Her observer skill worked again that when she turned her head to Hina, she immediately concluded what happened, with an amused smile on her face.

Without waiting for their other friends to come back, Nami took Hina's arm before leaving the room together to go to their club.

Due to that, I lost the chance to tell her about Arisa-senpai.

With Aya at my side, we waited a bit more until Satsuki showed up. Well, it's part of my routine now to escort Aya to Haruko's club. Partly to spend time with her and partly to have the reason to visit Haruko and Himeko.

Satsuki complained to me how irritated she was at Shizu-senpai. Turns out, Shizu-senpai kept asking her about what she thought of me and other things about me.

Haa... Shizu-senpai wasn't acting as her mentor.

To reduce Satsuki irritation, I first escorted her to the Gymnasium and it's effective. Even if she doesn't say anything, it's clear that escorting her like that is enough to satisfy her.

"You're finally here. From that facial expression... Maemura-san complained to you, correct?"

Shizu-senpai with her reading glasses on had her elbows resting on her table and her fingers were crossed to rest her chin on it. The stack of papers on her side increased more than the last time I was here. Upon seeing me entering the room, she immediately put on that kind of expression as she watched me walk over to her side.

"I get it. That was your intention, right?"

"Not really. I just wanted to see how much affection she has towards you. And I must say... Her affection for you was even higher than Nanami."

Well, I got Satsuki first and we had more moments together. Nanami will also soon reach the same level. After what happened to us today, it's only a matter of time.

"You can do that without irritating her, senpai. Can I ask you to also get along with her?"

"After saying that you like me, now you're here talking for another girl. Onoda-kun, what will I think of this? Also, aren't you here as my secretary and your promise to help me?"

No matter how I look at it, Shizu-senpai is just being grumpy. Is it because of last night? Teasing her made her like this, eh?

"Alright. I admit it's my fault for teasing you last night. I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it upon seeing you being that adorable."

The way she got flustered was really something I wouldn't forget.

When she heard my words, she was taken aback before slowly turning red once more. My guess was spot on. She acted like that to Satsuki because of last night...

"…This blockhead. Why do you think that this is about that?"

"Because I saw how flustered you were last night along with that glare as if I wronged you before the call ended."

Yup. There's that occurrence but I dismissed that due to how satisfied I was upon seeing her that flustered. To think that she would use that as a pretext to irritate Satsuki. I have to apologize to her later.

But what to do with Shizu-senpai? I really promised to help her open up but how will I do it? Flirting with her wouldn't work well. It will just make her uncomfortable...

"Haa... Alright, I will stop and properly become her mentor tomorrow. In exchange for that, you'll stop teasing me, Onoda."

Shizu-senpai sighed from her seat. She involved Satsuki when she could just confront me about it. I guess it's not all about that occurrence. If I have to guess, she's trying to investigate why the girls accepted being with me.

"… What if I just wanted to honestly tell you what I think?"

"Such as?"

"Such as how I will comment on your interaction with me right now. I'm glad you're now a bit comfortable at expressing your thoughts to me, senpai."

I smiled and went to her table to arrange the somewhat disorganized stacks of paper. This is my work here after all.

Compared to before where she has a prejudice against me. That's now non-existent and she's more of expressing her thoughts about how I acted around her. She also didn't deny it when my guess was spot on.

"… Nanami is right. You're hard to deal with and most of your words will strike a chord. Put that down, shut up and bring me tea, Onoda."

Though she didn't react to what I said. She took her time to digest it and after determining that what I said was correct, she accepted it. Her last sentence was just her wanting to get out of the situation where it was already heading on her becoming flustered once more.

"Right away, senpai. I also love to see your smile. The genuine one, not the intimidating smile you always put on as a mask."

"Didn't I just tell you to shut up?" 𝒏𝒪𝐕𝑒𝑳𝐮𝑆𝐁.𝒸𝞸𝐌

"Ah. Right…"

I scratched the back of my head before following her order. To shut up.

As I moved from taking the tea set and making the tea she wanted, I noticed that her eyes followed my every move. And like she ordered, I didn't comment on that.

Even after I put the teacup on her table, I stopped talking altogether and just stood at her side once I'm done.

If she's following my move, I'm also doing the same.

Due to that, I noticed how one of her eyebrows raised and that slight smile she put on before picking up the teacup and sipping the tea I made quietly.

When she finished drinking it, she gave me a silent nod before starting to work on the stack of papers next to her.

Upon seeing that, I moved from my position and I assisted her. Picking up the finished ones and organizing it.

As we spent our time in silence, her little actions were all captured by me. Sometimes she would lift her head and stare at what I was doing. Whenever that would happen, I would smile at her which always resulted in her being a bit flustered before focusing back to her work to escape my eyes.

Nonetheless, that same situation happened more than 5 times that at the 5th time, Shizu-senpai couldn't resist it anymore and smiled back at me. It was the genuine smile which I told her that I wanted to see.

Time continued to pass as well as the silence between us. Surprisingly, I found out that this situation with her is also relaxing. Spending time in silence like this with her while we're both working. And from looking at Shizu-senpai's expression, she also felt the same. It's different from when I first came here where she drowned herself while working alone and handing out orders that there's that uncomfortable air around her. This time, she's building up experience in working together with someone else.

She probably didn't notice it yet but we're already on the same page. I would move even before she could tell me what to do and due to that, the stack of work smoothly flowed that we managed to finish everything with a lot of time spared.

When the other 3 members of the Student Council came to visit after doing their tasks. I stood still on her side, silently listening and watching. Since I planned to help her, having her work with the 3 with teamwork will be the ultimate hurdle. I'll think about that when the time comes.

The Vice President complained once again about my existence, he's already wary of me that I was here for her. And this time, he's not wrong. However, like before, he got shut down by Shizu-senpai's words.

The Treasurer and Secretary couple of the Student Council were also curious about me but with one explanation from Shizu-senpai, they stopped poking their noses into it.

"Onoda-kun. You can stop being silent now. Thank you for helping me."

Shizu-senpai turned her revolving chair around and faced me when we were left alone again after the couple left.

"I'm just doing my work, Shizu-senpai. Did you notice it?"

"What?"

"You worked with me. Not just you giving me orders but me helping you without waiting for your orders."

"Huh? Is there a difference?"

This girl... She really didn't notice. I guess I can only slowly teach her that.

"Yes. It means you're capable of working with someone else on equal grounds and not just you ordering that someone."

"I don't really get it but... We did save a lot of time that we finished all of this. You did your job efficiently, that you already moved even before I told you what to do."

"And that's how teamwork works, Shizu-senpai. We worked as a team. Not just you ordering me what to do."

For her, who probably has zero-experience working together with someone because of how she always wanted to take the lead, to be seen as strong, it's really hard to understand the difference. Because most of the time, only the end result matters.

"Is that how it really is? If you say so then..."

"Un. I can now see the light in your path, senpai. Working with others and opening up to those close to you will not just be a dream. Soon we can put your scary facade on a shelf and just be the real Asakura Shizu."

"…Blockhead. T-that won't happen... This time I only felt relaxed working with you. Because it's you..."

Shizu-senpai stuttered as she tried to deny what I said. In the end, she whispered the last sentence with her somewhat embarrassed and sweet-sounding voice.

"I'm happy you say that but I will make sure that it will happen, Shizu-senpai. I promised you."

"Your promise..."

"Well then, now that we're done with work, it's probably time for me to go."

One last time, I reorganized the finished papers and neatly put it where it should be

However, before I went to pick up my dropped bag, Shizu-senpai's voice reached my ears.

"… Onoda. Your time as my secretary hasn't ended yet... Even if there's no more work to do. Can you stay a little longer?"

She stared directly into my eyes. Upon muttering that question, there's that glimmer of hope which appeared in her yellow eyes that was hiding beneath her reading glasses. Hoping that I will accept. As to what she planned to do by asking that, only she knows.

She took the initiative to ask, why will I let it pass?

So upon hearing that, I answered her with a smile.

"If it means I can spend more time with you... Yes, I can stay."

Chapter 215: Progress (2)

"Blockhead. You don't need to flower up your words. Let's sit there..."

Shizu-senpai scowled to hide the hint of red which appeared on her face. I still don't know whether she's beginning to like me or she just wanted the company to spend the unexpected free time we managed to get.

"Ah. In that case, let me assist you, senpai."

I walked over and held out my hand to her.

This time, she took it albeit reluctantly after staring at my palm for more than 20 seconds. Her hand felt rough on the surface which speaks for her hardworking personality.

I tightened my grip on her hand and supported her as she stood up from her seat.

Without letting go of her hand, I pulled on her as we moved from her table to the long table where we ate the cake last time. When I looked back, Shizu-senpai's head was lowered to her face. This is probably her first time holding someone else's hand.

"Onoda-kun. You can let go of my hand now. There's no reason for this, right? It's only a few steps from my table to here."

"I have my reason, Shizu-senpai. I'm trying to take advantage of this chance."

I smirked and my answer instantly flared her up that her lowered head lifted to look at me.

"Then all the more reason to let go, Onoda"

"Just 5 minutes, senpai. Can I hold onto this hand for a little more?"

We already reached the table and sat next to each other. Of course, I let her sit first before moving my chair near hers.

I'm really trying to take advantage of this moment with her. After this, my next secretary work will be on Friday. I couldn't just show up to see her when there were my other girls who also wanted my attention. Even if they don't say it. It always shows whenever we're together.

"Haa… Why am I getting swept by your pace?"

Shizu-senpai sighed and resignedly stopped pulling her hand out of my grasp.

"Because I'm kind of an expert when it comes to it?"

"You... Alright, I give up. Treat this as me rewarding your effort for today."

In the end, she used the word 'reward' to ease her mind from letting me hold her hand. What I did was a bit scummy but yeah, she's more accepting of this straightforward approach than going around in circles.

"Then I'll gladly accept and savor this reward."

I smiled at her before fixing our hands. From just grabbing it, I slowly moved my fingers to fit in the gaps of her fingers. Her whole palm, as well as her fingers, really felt rough to the touch. Regardless, it's still pleasant.

As I was fixing our held hands to cross our fingers together, my eyes were fixed on her face, fully observing her reactions. Seeing her real self like this is truly fulfilling but is this enough to make her fall for me? I don't think so. This is just her giving up resisting from my advances. Whether she liked it or not, I will only know if she told me. It's hard to read what she's thinking.

"Stop staring at me like that, Onoda."

"Alright. I should really stop making you flustered. It feels like I'm forcing you to produce that kind of reaction."

"… I don't have any experience with this kind of thing. Anyone who approached me with the same intention as you were either used by me like the Vice President or shut down before they could say it. But you… why am I allowing you to do this?…"

Shizu-senpai shook her head. Her expression really looked troubled. She's still unaware that my approach was different from the others. Also, they're all looking at her facade, not the real her beneath that.

"Isn't because I've managed to see through your mask?"

"That's not all. I can just push you away and not deal with you. But here I am, letting you hold my hand and spend time with me, alone."

Ah. Right. She could do that. Shizu-senpai is confused about why she was doing this.

"I see. Have you ever liked someone, senpai?"

"No."

"Then what do you think of me? Your honest thoughts."

She lifted her eyes to observe me. Processing what she really thinks of me from all our interactions.

In the end, she whispered 3 words before lowering her head.

"… I hate you."

Hearing that from her, a bitter smile couldn't help but form on my lips. Good thing her eyes are lowered and she didn't see that.

Hating me is understandable but hearing it directly from her... It kind of stings.

"I see. Thank you for being hone--"

Shizu-senpai cut my words off.

"I'm not done, Onoda. I hate you, yet, I enjoy spending time with you."

"Huh? That's kind of contradicting."

"You asked for my honest thoughts. This is it."

Even if it's contradicting, I guess knowing that she enjoyed this time with me was enough to decrease the sting that I was feeling from hearing that she hated me.

"I see. Of course, you already knew that I'm the one enjoying this the most. Being here with you, it's relaxing. Even when we spent it in silence earlier, it's not as strained like the first time I was here."

"Really?"

"Un. And seeing you smile at me made it even better. I'm looking forward to seeing more of you that was still hiding in that shell of yours, senpai."

"… Then work harder for me."

"Is it fine? Even if you hate me?"

"Blockhead, you probably misunderstood. I didn't hate you as you. What I hate is how you enter into multiple relationships."

Err... I'm the blockhead when she's the one who said it vaguely. Of course, I will think of that as her hating on me.

But still… if that's what she hated, even if I managed to make her fall for me in the future, she wouldn't become mine.

"I see. If I'm not in any relationship, will you accept becoming my girlfriend, senpai?"

"… Maybe."

Shizu-senpai whispered her answer while stealing a glance at me.

"Then this means, I don't have any chance to make you mine."

"Is it really impossible for you to settle for one?"

"I told you already. I'm not normal, senpai. If I choose only one, then it will not be Nami or you. It will be my childhood friend who's living with me right now."

"Haa. You're always this stupidly honest… Don't you feel tired? You have all those girls you needed to satisfy but here you are, trying to get my affection as well."

"I do feel tired but this is how I am, senpai. I love all of them. Maybe what I'm feeling for you will also evolve to that. Each of their smiles is enough to chip away some of that feeling of tiredness. Just like how I like it whenever I see your genuine smile."

I cupped her face with my free hand and used my thumb to trace her lips. Pulling it on the side to turn it into an arc.

"If in the end, you chose to distance yourself from me. Seeing you become more confident to live as the real you is enough reward for me."

"…"

"You know. I accept it. There's the possibility that not everyone will stay with me in the end. Even so, I still love them and that's all that matters."

"… Then why are you making that sad face when you mentioned that possibility?"

"Eh? Did that appear again?"

"Onoda, could it be that you're just forcing yourself to accept that possibility? Truthfully, it's affecting you too much that it led you to work this hard for them, or us.

"Perhaps that's how it is, senpai. I'm afraid that that possibility will come true..."

"Alright, this is already five minutes. Thank you for granting me this reward."

I smiled at her and let go of her hand.

It's true. I'm really afraid. That's why I want to build that future for us. If they see it, they will not think of leaving me anymore. Such an optimistic view, eh?

"Give me your hand this time."

"Huh?"

"It's my turn to ask for a reward, right? Like you asked, all this time that I'm with you, I never put on that mask."

"I see. You're right. I have to reward you for it."

Once again, I put my hand on top of her palm and this time, it was Shizu-senpai who crossed our fingers together. Unlike earlier where it was only me who tightened my grip on her hand, even though her fingers were slightly shaking, she also did the same.

"Honestly. I liked this sensation of your hand on mine... I don't always say this but thank you for helping me, Onoda." 𝓝𝒐𝓋𝚎𝑳𝒰𝓈𝗯.𝗰𝒐𝔪

Shizu-senpai lifted her head and locked gazes with me, in time, her lips turned into an arc, showing that genuine smile of hers. Her free hand also went to my hand that was on her cheek.

She's usually straightforward with her words so these words coming from her were her honest thoughts.

I was already having an urge to take my phone out and snap a picture of hers but I resisted. She'll be flustered again if I did that.? Also, both of my hands weren't free.

"You're more than welcome, senpai. And like I thought, I truly like you. Even if you keep hating me, this one will not change."

I squeezed her hand softly and used my thumb to caress it. When she felt that, she also did the same and our eyes both went down to look at it.

"At first I only wanted to help you for Nami's sake. But when I realized I like you, doing this for you became my sole reason."

"… Blockhead."

Shizu-senpai whispered before her head slowly leaned on my shoulder. Most possibly, she didn't know what to say in response so she resorted to showing it in her action.

When I felt her head on my shoulder, I moved my hand on her cheek to fix her position so that she would be comfortable resting her head on it.

Like this, silence once again reigned between us. I could smell the scent of hair. I could hear the quickened beating of her heart. I could feel the soft breath she was exhaling. I could see how her hand tightened her grip on my hand and how her eyes continued to watch it.

Spending the rest of our time in silence again, we're inching closer. The scary Shizu-senpai which those close to her knew has already crumbled before me. This is the real her, someone who also needed a helping hand.

Maybe if it's not me who did this for her, given that she's straightforward, she would have already started dating the guy. Good thing no one did it before I showed up.

Soon enough, the rays of sunset that were entering from the room's window dimmed and the sky gradually turned dark.

When the time to leave comes, we naturally separate. Her cheek that was pressed on my shoulder was a bit red and both of our palms were sweaty but it didn't bother us. I just took out my handkerchief and wiped it for her.

"Well then, Shizu-senpai. See you again on Friday. Please go easy on Satsuki."

I said after picking up my bag.

"… Don't worry, I will."

After hearing her affirmation, I nodded at her and turned around. However, before I could start walking towards the door, I felt two arms slipping on my sides encircling me into an embrace. Afterwards, I felt another thud on my back when she leaned her head on my back.

"Shizu-senpai?"

"... See you on Friday."

After Shizu-senpai muttered that, her head and her arms released me. She can also be this assertive but yeah, it just meant she didn't want me to see the face she was making at the moment.

Chapter 216: Time with Kana*

After leaving the Student Council Room, I went to the Literature Club to pick Kana and Rae up.

Due to the time I spent there, Satsuki, Aya and Nami already went home. I informed them about it anyway and they also informed me when they left the school on messenger.

Hina was with Nami. Most probably, she was being interrogated by that scary girl to know what happened between us.

Haruko also went home with Mina and the other 3 girls of her.

I would've stayed behind to walk Shizu-senpai to the bus station if not for Kana and Rae.

The two stayed behind on the club. Rae was helping Kana on proofreading her revised novel which she will submit this Friday for the contest.

"You two are working hard."

I greeted them when I entered the room. Even if it's already dark, Kana was still writing while Rae was focused on reading her finished drafts. Both of them had a serious look on their faces but from that slight smile the two had, they're clearly enjoying it.

"Ruki!"

The two jumped up in jubilation when they heard my voice. Kana instantly put down the pen on her hand and ran towards me. However, due to sitting for a long while, her legs were a bit unstable as she almost stumbled down.

I hurriedly stepped forward and caught her by stretching my arms before she fell to the ground

"This girl... I always tell you to be careful."

"Uhm... I'm sorry. I just missed you."

Kana apologized with her head lowered, feeling guilty that she made me worry.

"I know. And I missed you too but you should always take care of yourself, alright?"

I lifted her bowed head and planted a kiss on her apple-red lips. Kana fully accepted it and returned it with more intensity.

"Yes!"

As I expected, the kiss instantly brought back her previous glow. Kana giggled and clung to my body tightly. Her soft body being pressed onto me. This girl is always this cute when it concerns me so it's hard to be mad at her. Besides, she's just too excited upon hearing my voice.

"Rae. Thank you for staying with her."

I turned my head to the green-haired glasses girl watching from their table.

"Un. Kana-senpai is a senior and I like her novel. Uhm. Nevermind that, I also want a kiss, Ruki..."

"Come here. I also missed you."

Upon hearing that, Rae smiled enchantingly. Her brown eyes beneath her glasses shined brightly as she walked towards us.

With Kana hugging my body tightly, Rae went to my side and accepted my kiss.

From a complete newbie to kissing last week, she's now trying to match my pace with her lips and tongue. This girl is learning too fast and tomorrow will be our time again. I wonder what she prepared for me?

After that steamy greeting from us, we went back to the table and I helped them with what they were doing. Kana only revised those she thought she could still improve after reading our reviews, Rae and I will then proofread it. There's still four days so I told Kana to not rush it or some of her ideas might be left out.

Sometimes, Kana will ask for a kiss to refresh her mind while Rae will pull me behind Kana to ask for a kiss as well. Like this, we spent 30 minutes more before calling it a day.

When we're on our walk to the bus station, Kana whispered to me that she wanted it.

Even if we've already done it a number of times, saying the word still makes her extremely embarrassed.

So after sending Rae on the bus after making use of Kana's excuse-inventing skills. Kana and I went to somewhere private. I learned my lesson from the last time's karaoke so I already had a destination in mind.

Well, it's not bad to take her to it again. Hearing her sing a song was also something I wanted to experience again. However, this time, she specifically said what she wants.

It's already dark so... I messaged Akane about going home late and told her who I am with.

Going to the same Love Hotel where I brought Satsuki, Kana and I rented a room. The room selection was fully automated so Kana's shyness from being seen lessened when there's no one to see her. This will also be her first time at this kind of establishment so I held her closely to me wherein she buried her face close to my chest as we walked inside.

Once we're inside the room. I picked her up and brought her to the bed. Kana immediately circled her arms around my neck and our lips naturally met.

Kana's legs also naturally hugged my waist as I started to explore her body. Despite the thorough redness of her face, I couldn't pass on feeling up her lovely figure.

Before long, I've already stripped her naked while she struggled to take off my shirt and pants.

When she successfully did it, Kana pushed me down on my back. Afterwards, she took out my cock from my boxer briefs and started stroking it.

"I miss this, Ruki..."

Kana whispered under her breath as her eyes locked gazes on me. It didn't take long for my cock to fully harden from her stimulation.

"My naughty Kana. Look how hard you made me. I'm sure Rae will wonder why you stay behind. Should I tell her that I brought you here?"

Upon hearing my words, Kana blushed further but even if she's extremely embarrassed, her desire and love for me prevailed.

"You bully. Don't tell her. You still haven't done it with her, right?"

"No. All I did with her was kiss. But she's learning too fast."

"Uhm... Because you're a great teacher. Just like when you teach me this."

Kana started stroking my cock faster and after a while, her face drew near it. Her cute little tongue peeked out and started licking it. it then circled around the head giving me a soft pleasurable sensation as it began to be coated by her slimy saliva.

With my eyes fully focused on her, Kana opened her mouth and slowly swallowed my cock in. As the warm sensation started filling me, her tongue quickly wrapped on the head, playing with it the way I taught her.

When she saw me feeling good from what she's doing, Kana took my cock deeper until when she reached her limit. She stayed there for a while before sucking it skillfully. Her round cheeks deflated whenever she would suck it in.

"Uhh. Indeed, you learned quickly as well. This feels too good, Kana."

When she heard my words, Kana's eyes looked up and it seemingly smiled when she met my gaze.

The warm sensation of her tongue and the insides of her mouth delivered me more pleasure than I imagined.

I might have done it a lot yesterday with Satsuki, Akane and Shio but today, I was almost fully backed up. Nami gave me a blowjob earlier on lunch but Arisa-senpai got me hard again from our intimate kisses in that room. Then there's that time with Shizu-senpai wherein we just held hands. If I'm not restricting myself, I would've kissed her and done more with her.

Now that Kana's here, the built-up horniness was being unleashed. And seeing her lovely mouth stuffing my cock, it just further heightened my desire to take her.

Soon enough, I'm already close to cumming in her mouth but I still found it too early.

"Kana. Let me eat you too."

I whispered to the hardworking girl. Kana stopped upon hearing it and without taking out my cock in her mouth, she slowly positioned herself on top of me. With her sacred place near my mouth, we ended up in the sixty-nine position.

"H-help yourself, Ruki."

I could only hear Kana's embarrassed voice encouraging me since I was now faced with her wet sacred region. Afterwards, I could feel her sucking my cock again and due to the different position, it also brought a new sensation.

Her pussy which I made mine back in my room. To prevent myself from cumming, I immediately indulged myself on her slit and on her love juices that kept on dripping from her.

As I continued to suck on her, Kana's moans slowly filled the room and whenever I would also use my fingers, her lower hips would shake from the pleasure she was feeling.

When she reached her climax, I got up from below her to fix her on the bed. Kana knew what I wanted to do so she held her arms up and took me in an embrace while her legs spread open to welcome my cock entering her deepest parts once more.

As it was already lubricated, my cock smoothly slid inside her as the sloppy noise sounded out.

"Ahhn!"

Kana moaned out loud when I completely buried my cock inside her which made her insides squeeze tightly on me. When I pulled and it grinded the walls of her insides, Kana's moans once again filled my ears.

"More… Ruki."

Kana's seductive voice whispered. With her arms tightly hugging me, my hips started thrusting and gave her what she asked for. The way she wriggled her hips every time I would thrust in her provided us both with a new sensation.

Soon enough from on top of her, I lay down next to her and lifted one of her legs before pushing it inside her. With the new position where I'm at her back, Kana turned her body a bit to ask for a kiss.

Afterwards, we tried more positions to make her feel new kinds of sensations. In the end, Kana climaxed 3 more times before I finished inside her while we're in her favorite position, sitting on the bed while she's straddling me.

After taking a quick shower and a quick round two, Kana happily snuggled to me as we rested for a while.

During that, she told me everything that happened to her for the time that I didn't see her and I did the same.

If she's always acting cutely whenever we meet, Kana also always turns into the sharper and her more mature self when we're talking alone be it pillow-talk or not.

That Kenji who still couldn't drop it was still trying to get her back but every time he does, she will shut him down. She couldn't really avoid that guy since they're from the same class. Ishida-senpai also helped her to keep him out so there's that. I have to thank her when I see her tomorrow.

Kana also advised me to draw a line if I really don't like Arisa-senpai after I told her what happened between us. About Shizu-senpai, she commended me for keeping it in my pants and for deciding to help her. 𝓝𝒐𝓋𝚎𝑳𝒰𝓈𝗯.𝗰𝒐𝔪

Because her experience with me was different than those who came after her, she's somewhat envious of them. I kind of blackmailed her and pushed her until she gave up and accepted my advances. I could only reassure her that even if it's different, I'm sure that I will still love her the same.

"Thank you for today, Ruki. I love you."

Kana kissed me before entering the bus. She was satisfied and so am I. The more I spend time with my girls, the more my feelings for them grow. It's really not wrong to say that soon enough, all of them will be as important as Akane to me.

Shizu-senpai is right. I'm now afraid to lose any of them but yeah I can only look ahead and do what I have to.

I stayed on the spot watching until the bus Kana was in left my sight before turning my heels to the train station.

Once I settled myself on the train, my phone vibrated which indicated a call from someone. I opened it and saw the name before answering.

"You finally answered my long-distance communication magic, oh my Dark Prince. This Princess has already waited for long... A little more and I will resort to drastic measures. Is teleporting to your house allowed?"

A comical voice of a girl rang out from the other side. With that unique accent of hers which speaks of her foreign descent, it's unbelievable that she chose to become a chuuni... Now I wonder why I decided to steal her back then.

"Elizabeth… I told you to start slowing down from your fantasy, right?"

Chapter 217: Elizabeth

Elizabeth is one of those girls who's still waiting for me that is on their chat group. Though I sometimes call them whenever I have time, this girl finally couldn't restrain herself and called me instead at this moment.

Well, it's already more than 2 weeks and I still haven't gone to meet them. I decided it to be this week but I still didn't know when. Now that she called me, this reminded me that I'm forgetting about it again.

Ugh. I really have to make it up for them.

Let's see. There are no more concerning tasks that I have to do so... Thursday then. I'll pass by the club to at least do my part there before going straight to their school.

Elizabeth is one of the girls I stole in a unique situation. When I first saw her, she's treating her boyfriend as her Prince Charming, which the guy really liked. He's also like her after all, someone with an eighth-grader syndrome. The two of them belonged to the same club where Haruko sent me to do an inspection.

I was still a part of the Student Council back then so I did my job to avoid suspicion from the other members, especially from Haruko's boyfriend back then. Also, that was one of the ways I used to scout for new targets without Yae's help.

Due to that, I chanced upon Elizabeth and her boyfriend flirting inside the clubroom while using cringy lines such as Destiny or Red Strings of Fate. The Flawless Prince who can slay thousands of dragons without a scratch and sealing them on his right hand was the character the guy thought up for himself. It looked cringy and even if I saw them, that didn't bother them and they continued their character even when talking to me during my inspection. 𝒏𝒪𝐕𝑒𝑳𝐮𝑆𝐁.𝒸𝞸𝐌

Elizabeth. Ah. That's not her real name. Hazuki Risa, She took her first name Risa and turned it to Elizabeth to fit the character she made for herself, the Queen of the Lost Kingdom, Arkadia. Wielder of the Staff of Judgement and the Crown of Doom. She was confined to her own castle due to the calamity she brought upon her people. Even so, she really has foreign blood in her from her grandmother. She lived overseas until the age of 8 that's why she still has the accent.

In the setting they set, that Prince of whichever released her from confinement and since then started living with him. However, the two became bound with a curse. They can be in love with each other but they can never do more than just holding each other's hand or the curse would kill them both

Crazy even for a chuunibyou, right? Who would accept that kind of setting? That's like asking for someone else to cuck him.

Anyway, that's where I come in. Given my nature back then, they're clearly a couple and she became my target after witnessing that... somewhat interesting spectacle.

When I approached her and subtly told her my intention, her eyes brightened and she created an identity for me that would fit their fantasy. The Dark Prince who's invulnerable with the curse of being with her. Of course, at first, she thought I was joking with that intention to steal her from the guy but whenever we're alone, I'm slowly corrupting her until she falls completely. Though it's somehow the same when Shio wanted to reenact what's in the book she was reading for her fantasy, Elizabeth would often fall out of her character when dealing with me. Only after when we're out of that steamy situation will she go back into her made-up character.

"Aren't you happy to hear my voice?"

Elizabeth's tone suddenly turned sad. The voice I used was probably cold.

"Of course, I am. It's been a while since I heard it. What's wrong?"

I tried to be a bit cheerful but I guess it's still in the same tone, eh?

"… Is. Is it wrong to long for your voice, my Dark Prince?"

"It's not wrong. But I told you to drop that way of calling me, Elizabeth. We're already in High School."

It's not that I hate it. I even played along with her setting for a bit when the guy was with us but yeah, it was just an act.

Should I just let her keep calling me like the way she used to? I let Yae, Aoi and Ria call me the way they wanted. I guess it's fine, it's for this girl's satisfaction.

"… But I like it. You're my Dark Prince who corrupted me to this extent that I've already forgotten about that guy who took me out of my confinement. When will you see me? It's cold in this castle, Ruki."

"Alright. You can keep calling me that but slow down on your fantasy, Elizabeth. I'll see you this Thursday. Wait for me, alright?"

"Really? You're not fooling now, are you?"

"No. You know me. I rarely lie. Remember that day?"

Upon hearing my question, Elizabeth gasped and turned silent for a while.

"Uh. Why do you have to bring up that day?"

"To remind you that I will never lie to you. To any of you."

That day. Well, it's just a day where she thought I'm also lying to her about seeing her in the midst of a storm. At that time, I still hadn't completely stolen her. She got stranded away from her home that day. She first called her Prince boyfriend who said that he would come to take her home but the guy never showed up after an hour or so of waiting. When that happened, she called me next and it seemed like we said the same thing that she immediately blurted out that I should just be honest if I couldn't come.

It was really almost impossible due to how strong the winds were at that time as well as the rising flood. However, I still rushed out as soon as I got the address where she was stranded to be there with her. In the end, I failed to bring her home, due to the road which led there located in a lower area where the flood was higher.

I brought her home instead and she spent the night with me, in my room.

"... I believe you now. I'll be waiting, my Dark Prince."

Her voice turned softer and sweeter. Whatever face she was making now, she's probably remembering what happened to us that day.

"Un. I've kept you waiting for long. I'll make it worthwhile."

When I reached home, Akane was waiting for me at the door. Since I knew that I would arrive late, I asked them to not wait for me and eat their dinner on time. However, the silly girl still waited for me.

I couldn't really scold her since the table was already set so after squeezing her cheeks until it turned red, we ate our dinner together with her unnaturally puffed up cheeks. To make it up to her I asked her what she wanted me to do for her.

Well, it's Akane, she excitedly answered about feeding her and pampering her throughout the night. No matter what happened, Akane will always be like this with me.

Aside from wanting to be spoiled by me, her want to spoil me is higher. There was that time during our childhood when I got scolded by Mom and Miwa-nee, Akane stayed by my side and never left me until I smiled again. She's always there for me and I'm glad I remembered all those once again.

Afterwards, I checked the already asleep Miwa-nee and Minoru before going to the bed with Akane. I also checked on Shio who will be spending the night alone in that apartment and the other girls who wanted to hear me before they sleep. There was Nao who was also waiting for the day I promised last week and the other girls apart from Elizabeth who got the news from her.

It sounded tedious to check on each of my girls but for me, it's just normal. I'm the one picked this lifestyle after all.

After settling myself on our bed, doing our daily routine of telling each other's experience and granting Akane's wish from earlier, we fell asleep comfortably in each other's arms.

Tuesday.

Due to the Mentor Program, our PE was moved to Wednesday. It will now be held with two more Classes apart from Class 4 where Rae is.

When that was announced, Rae instantly messaged me about our agreement. I told her that if it will be hard for tomorrow, we could do it today after club activities which she instantly agreed. She then asked me what happened between Kana and me after we sent her to the bus, alone. When I told her what really happened, Rae became speechless for a moment before ending our conversation with 'I'm looking forward to fulfilling our agreement once again.'

"The SC President kept asking me about you yesterday, Ruki."

Satsuki started when she arrived at the class. I already cleared that up yesterday with Shizu-senpai, she'll probably be a good mentor for Satsuki today.

"I know. She told me during my work. She will stop annoying you now."

"She better be or our roles will be reversed. I will be her mentor about how to deal with a pervert like you."

Satsuki proudly said with a teasing smile on her face.

"How can you do that when you also couldn't deal with me?"

I smirked. My words instantly froze Satsuki's teasing smile. She then grumbled on her desk.

"Ugh. Let me hit you later, idiot."

"If that will make you feel better then okay."

Aya who was watching on my side giggled at her seat upon seeing that exchange between me and Satsuki. Due to that, Satsuki also sent a glare towards her, however, Aya has already cast off her inherent fear of Satsuki which she had before. Instead of being scared, Aya helped me tease that tsundere which made our morning a bit more enjoyable.

Chapter 218: Don't Overthink

"Ruru... I missed you."

Shio sweetly whispered after our lips separated. Her beautiful face looked so seductive that it made me take her lips once more before answering back.

I'm currently in her room inside the Administration Building. It's lunch break and before I go to that empty room to eat with Nami, Satsuki and Aya, my feet lead me here.

Of course, I have a valid excuse for seeing her. During her class, I was ordered by her to bring the worksheets we did today.

"I know. You made an excuse for us to meet alone after all. I missed you too."

Shio ignored what I said apart from my response to her 'I miss you'. That's enough for her to feel happy that she once again buried her face on my chest as if she wanted to be stuck there all day. Making an excuse for us to meet secretly at school. We have no choice but to do this. Even if I ended up being labeled as her errand boy or a teacher's pet as long as I can spend valuable time like this, whatever the other people think doesn't matter.

As soon as I arrived here, Shio pulled me to sit with her before snuggling herself to my side. Just by that act alone, it's enough to know how much she missed me.

Now that she didn't need to be burdened from the problem brought by her husband, she's becoming more beautiful by the day.

"I already checked last night but I want to ask again, did you sleep well at your new place, Shio?"

"Un. It's peaceful there and grandma was very friendly. However, she asked me where my young husband who's supposed to live with me was... What should I answer, Ruru?"

Err... I also wonder how we can continue to pass up as a newlywed couple. That's why the old lady easily gave the contract after all.

"I'll show up there when I have the chance. What about your things? Have you decided when to get them?"

"I still see his car around sometimes... But he never approached me. Let's get it after I filed the divorce."

Ah. Of course. He couldn't approach you because I made it a rule for him. That guy took a leave at his work and it seems he's now trying to stalk Shio. However, with my words and the evidence I have on him as a deterrence, he couldn't really do anything. As for Nao, I always check on her and he really never showed up near her after that day.

I can't be too lax though. He's still a threat. I have to completely eliminate his presence not only around Shio and Nao but also around me. Should I tell him to totally move away? I'll have to think of something he will not be able to get out from.

"Tell me if he tried to approach you, alright? If he showed up at the apartment. Call me immediately."

"I will. You don't have to worry too much. I can at least protect myself."

"I'm a worrywart, you know? Just remember to tell me if that happened. Also, you can still eat with us during dinner. I'll escort you home afterwards. That way I will be able to show my face to the old lady."

"Really? Then I'll eat there later. After staying for a few days there, I find it more lively to eat dinner with all of you."

To avoid suspicion, I only spent 10 minutes inside her room but of course, we savored that limited time that we could be alone.

When I arrived at the empty clubroom, only Satsuki and Aya were inside. Nami told me that after monopolizing me yesterday, she wanted to be fair to the two girls so she went to Hina and their other friends at the cafeteria to eat her lunch with them.

Upon seeing me, Aya's eyes brightened as always as she proceeded to ask for a kiss. We couldn't do it in the classroom but now that we're in a private space, there's nothing holding us back. 𝓝𝒐𝓋𝚎𝑳𝒰𝓈𝗯.𝗰𝒐𝔪

Satsuki, who was still a bit grumpy because of Shizu-senpai waited until Aya was satisfied before pulling me to her side.

After kissing me, she then proceeded to lightly punch my shoulder as her way to vent her frustration from how I teased her earlier.

Afterwards, we proceeded to eat our lunch and spend the rest of our time together. I told the two about Arisa-senpai and what happened between us yesterday. Upon hearing that, Satsuki and Aya held tightly onto my hands as if they're afraid I would leave them.

Even if they didn't voice it out, what they did was enough for me to guess what they're feeling. All I can do is to reassure them that no matter what, I will never leave them.

The effect was weak but it somehow eases them up. I know that's not enough. Not nearly enough at all. Words don't have that much of a weight after all.

"It's fine, Ruki. I understand. You don't have to think too hard about it."

Aya broke the silence as she turned my head towards her and gave me a reassuring smile.

"You're already doing well at taking care of us. Don't overthink it or it might take a toll on you. We accepted you for who you are. I can't say for the others but for me, what I hate the most is to see you having a troubled face, even more so if the reason for it was us."

Eh? What is she saying? What troubled face?

"Aya... No. I'm not troubled at all."

"Your face says otherwise. Satsuki. Uhm... Won't you say something?"

Aya surely didn't believe my words and she turned to Satsuki on my other side.

She alternated her gaze between us before releasing a sigh.

"… She's right, idiot. Cheer up. With that face, I'm sure you're thinking that you're doing for us wasn't enough. Don't go there. I'm satisfied enough just to stay like this with you."

She's spot on about that. Is it too obvious? Am I really showing a troubled face?

Maybe. I don't know. I'm most likely trying to do everything by myself... Even if I kept mentioning that the girls will also help, I ended up taking it all upon myself. Shizu-senpai probably noticed as well, she told me about how I am afraid for me to realize it

"Satsuki..."

"Or are you expecting us to be mad at you every time you tell us that there's an addition? You're stupidly honest and we know it. It's on us to accept it and do our part. I, for one, don't want to leave you that's why I held onto your hand this tight."

Ah. Now that I think about it. She's right. I'm really unconsciously expecting that they will at least be mad at me. I keep adding new ones then tell it to them. My being honest was hurting them so I was unconsciously waiting for the day where they would be mad at me...

"I'm the same, Ruki. Holding onto you like this doesn't mean I'm afraid that you will leave me. You misunderstood the meaning, this means no matter what, I will stay at your side. You're too honest that there's almost no secret that you are keeping from us."

'Almost no secret'. Aya knew that I kept something from them. It's surely about that day where I confronted Shio's husband.

I really misunderstood what they did by holding my hand tightly this time. It's not them being afraid, it's for me to remember that they're here by my side.

"I see. I'm overthinking it..."

"That's right, idiot. We're in this kind of relationship, don't take it all upon yourself."

"Un. I couldn't do much but you can also rely on me, Ruki."

The two girls tightened their grip and put a hand on my cheeks. I gazed into their eyes and finally saw the concern that they have for me.

"Thank you, Aya, Satsuki. I'll be relying on you from now on."

"Good boy. Here. Use my lap and take a rest. Stop thinking about anything."

Satsuki tapped her supple thighs, urging me to lay my head on it.

Before I knew it, I was already laying down on Satsuki's while brushing my hair with her fingers. And after a while, I felt delicate fingers taking my hand and started squeezing it in an attempt to massage it.

"Satsuki beat me by giving you a lap pillow. I can only settle for this, tell me if it hurts, Ruki..."

Aya said as she continued her clumsy way of squeezing my hand. Despite that, I feel really comfortable from it.

In the end, the remaining time for our lunch break was spent like this, with me being tag-teamed by Satsuki and Aya.

I don't know when but I fell asleep feeling comfortable like that. The two woke me up when the bell rang. When I saw their faces, they're both flashing a satisfied smile as they looked at me. Instead of them being pampered by me, it became the other way around.

As the class continued, the 5th period ended normally. Like yesterday, 6th and 7th period will be the time for the Mentor Program.

Izumi-senpai arrived earlier, unlike yesterday where she had me wait for almost an hour. She pulled me out of the room even before I could talk to my girls.

As I followed behind her, we ended up in the same room as yesterday. There's no Arisa-senpai or Ogawa in it and I doubt if they will show up.

What Arisa-senpai and I showed to her yesterday was surely still fresh on her mind. Will she confront me about it?

"After I left, did something else happen between you and Arisa?"

Ah. As I thought.

Chapter 219: Nothing to Learn

"Nothing else happened. Like we told you, we got taken in by the atmosphere and the situation."

I answered with a straight face. Whatever it was that she wanted to hear from me, I wouldn't tell her that.

"Why do you sound like nothing's wrong with that?"

There's really nothing wrong if I put it into my perspective but yeah, this delinquent might be purer than most. Seeing me kiss her best friend in front of her was something that will be stuck in her head. That's why she's trying to confront me when Arisa-senpai isn't here.

"Senpai, did you bring me here only to interrogate me? What about the Mentor Program? I let you have your time with Ogawa yesterday. Isn't it time I start learning something from this?"

I chose not to answer it and instead shifted our topic to the Mentor Program. Arisa-senpai and I reached an understanding yesterday.

We agreed not to mention it again. Unless both of us decided to talk about it.

"Don't you dodge my question, Onoda. Arisa is..."

Izumi-senpai appeared angry and looked like she was about to say something about Arisa-senpai but she abruptly stopped herself. Most probably, she realized that it was something private that she shouldn't tell me.

"What about Arisa-senpai? Is there something I need to know about her?"

That piqued my interest but I think I don't need to hear it from Izumi-senpai.

"Forget it. If you don't want to tell me then fine. Don't lay your hands on her or I'll tell Nanami about it."

Izumi-senpai pointed at me as she slightly bent over. By doing so, her opened button gave me the view of the ravine hiding beneath that uniform of hers and she hasn't noticed that I could see that. Is she used to it or just unaware?

Due to that, I found out something about her. If Arisa-senpai was slightly voluptuous, Izumi-senpai was compact. Her bra was too small a size for her which resulted in her chests to be pushed closely together that deep cleavage could be seen when she bent down like that.

Well, I've already seen a lot of those so it's not something that will instantly excite me. But the thought of cupping it in my palms surely passed through my mind.

In any case, I raised my eye to match hers and answered.

"Arisa-senpai is a good friend and now I'm convinced you're also as good to her as she is to you. Are you worried that I took advantage of her, Izumi-senpai?"

"You can blurt out crazy things without a change in your expression. It's just right to see you as someone dangerous to be left alone with her."

And you're too defenseless right now, you didn't even notice that I got a peek.

Haa. Ogawa was wasting his chances with her. Now I wonder what happened to them in their clubroom?

"I guess you're right about that, senpai. But that applies to you too, no? I'm alone with you right now. You still remember what I said."

I stood up from my seat and started to walk over to her.

Upon seeing me close our distance, Izumi-senpai's feet would take a step back, every time I advanced a step. However, she was already near the wall.

After 3 steps, her back was already leaning onto it.

"Y-you... Go on and try. I can take you down with these."

Though slightly trembling, Izumi-senpai raised her fist and made a stance as if she's ready to fight me to death. Looking at her like this broke the image of her being a delinquent.

I've never seen her with a group of delinquents. It's either she's alone or she's with Arisa-senpai.

There's that one time where she's treating that second-year delinquent harshly. She even called that guy as her dog. Was she only acting tough when in fact she didn't even know how to fight?

"What are you doing, senpai? I'm not going to fight you. I'm here for the Mentor Program. Will you start or are we going to waste time again?"

When she reached the wall, I also stopped. That's enough teasing for her. There's more important matter than messing with someone? I'm not trying to conquer.

Also, she's too wary of me. This is just a way for her to loosen up her attitude towards me. Praising her for being a friend and reminding her that even if said those words, I wouldn't really act on it.

I could clearly hear her sigh of relief upon hearing my words. She really tensed up right there, eh?

"… Tell me what you want to learn."

Izumi-senpai said with her eyes downcast. Her body was still trembling. Yesterday, she was too bold at trying to seduce Ogawa and now she's like this with me. That's too much of a contrast.

"Senpai. Did I scare?"

"W-what do you think?"

"Haa. Alright, it's my bad. I thought given that you pose as a delinquent, you wouldn't be this easily scared. I'm sorry. I'll keep to this distance. You can mentor me from here."

I turned around and stepped away until I reached the wall on my side.

"I honestly don't know why I got scared of you... You're giving off a more dangerous vibe than those delinquents I mingled with."

Though I can't really answer her. It's quite true. I am more dangerous than those delinquents who liked to flaunt their strength in groups.

"I'm an innocent 1st year, senpai. I already told you that I wanted to learn from that Mentor Program. If you didn't plan anything for it, I can leave now to make you feel at ease."

From afar, I saw how she almost laughed at calling myself 'innocent' which she immediately covered with her hands. It's not a mocking laugh, it's a genuine laugh which somehow calmed her down and lost the tension she was feeling.

"Please. Don't make me laugh. You're far from innocent, Onoda. Also, you don't need to leave. I don't have anything planned for this Mentor Program and I knew you already expected that. I don't know anything about you except being Nanami's boyfriend and how shameless and dangerous you are but I can try to answer anything you ask."

"Shameless and dangerous? Alright, I'll ignore that... First off, tell me what you learned last year when you're in my position."

She's not Rae where I can straight up ask what I can do to succeed, right? And yeah, it's time to get serious. The atmosphere between us already calmed down and with this distance, there's no reason for her to keep being wary.

Haa. If not for wanting to learn, I wouldn't really waste my time like this.

Izumi-senpai thought for a while before answering.

"Last year... I learned about places like this."

"Like this?"

"Somewhere students can sneak in if they want to slack off. There was that empty room at your floor, this room, the clubroom you and Nanami are using. What else? That vending machine where you saw me."

"I already know about that..."

I can ask Haruko or maybe Shizu-senpai if ever I needed a new spot but for now, the places were already enough.

"You're asking me what I learned last year. That's one. Are you expecting me to tutor you on subjects?"

Ah. Right. There's no way she would tutor me and there's no point. There's probably more purpose than just learning for this program they're enforcing to every new student.

"Anyway, let's continue. Never ask about Hayashi-sensei. She's a mysterious one. No one knows why she was always not at the Infirmary and never got fired from the job."

Hayashi-sensei? The school nurse? I guess this is the kind of knowledge they were passing from junior to junior, eh?

"I see. So she's always like that, eh? I've been to the infirmary 3 times and I've seen her twice."

"Huh? How'd you manage to catch her?"

Izumi-senpai was surprised when she heard what I said about the school nurse.

"Is that supposed to mean something?"

Her disappearances were mysterious but it's useless to get curious about it.

"No. But most of the time, we'll find the room empty. I've been in the Infirmary 5 times since last year and I only managed to see her once. Her face was now vague in my memory."

"I see. So I should never ask about her? Isn't it easy to guess that she has some kind of connection to the school?"

That's the most plausible reason for that. There's no way no one will complain about her behaviour. However, despite that, she's still there.

"That's what the rumors say but there's probably more to it. In any case, treat this as a piece of useless knowledge."

I already did.

"Alright. What else?"

"That's it. I never really learned a lot from last year. And some of it wasn't fit for you so I wouldn't tell you about it."

Izumi-senpai shrugged. 𝗇𝑂𝒱𝐄𝐋𝗎𝓈𝐛.𝒸𝑜𝗆

"I see. Isn't this program pretty useless?"

"It depends on your Mentor. You lucked out that you got me. It's too troublesome to prepare something."

Ah. I truly lucked out. Maybe I can learn something from Arisa-senpai next week. She promised after all. There's also that bet. I won it but because of what happened to us, that was put at the back of my mind.

There's still a lot of time but what else should I ask for this seemingly useless Mentor?

Ah. Right. There's that.

"Alright senpai. Tell me about your group. By group. I mean the delinquent group you are in."

Chii asked me about talking to Fukuda but I need to learn what kind of group he is in first. That girl, I at least want to do something for her.

"Why do you want to learn about that? Do you want to become one?"

"No. That's too troublesome. It's just a knowledge that I need just in case I got tangled up with it. You see, I don't want to stand out too much so..."

I need to know who I will cross.

If I can't become Classmate A, I can still become Student A, right?

Chapter 220: Wonder

Every school will always have a few or a group of problem students giving headaches to the faculty or the whole school administration. There was one in my middle school. I didn't have any direct contact with them but I was once targeted by them because I was seen with the girlfriend of one of their leaders.

Of course, that girl was someone I successfully stole and they never found out about it.

When they targeted me, I hadn't started to work on the girl yet. They took me to the roof and they tried to scare me off thinking I am one of the timid boys.

If I remember correctly, I was about to act like how they perceived me but I changed my mind halfway. As for the reason. It was because one of them mentioned Akane and how they would mess with her. Later that day, I waited for them outside the school.

The next day after that, the delinquent group started distancing themselves away from me.

Now that I think about it, I got triggered when they mentioned Akane back then but I continued ignoring her. Despite telling her to get herself a boyfriend, I was probably also preventing that to happen, unconsciously. There was also that time when some boys in class got curious and asked me about her. However, I shut all of them down. Not even thinking of introducing them to her.

Ugh. I could only remember that now, eh?

"Currently, the leader of the group is Araya-senpai. He's a 3rd-year and is a known delinquent since middle school.

Izumi-senpai started. She is someone too mild for being a delinquent or maybe I still haven't seen that side of hers fully. She's like a different person when she's around Ogawa after all.

"So he's the boss of every delinquent in school?"

I still have no idea how the power structure is. If Fukuda is someone near the bottom then he's out of luck.

Haa... Why did he have to become like a fool to Chii? That girl was now trying to help him when the possibility of him acting it out was high. 𝚗𝓞𝗏𝞮𝐋𝑢𝓢𝒷.𝒞𝒪𝗆

"You could say that. I'm not always hanging out with them but their group could be pretty scary."

I also wonder how you are still in that group when you're always at your club. There's even that 2nd-year chasing after you. Maybe that's not the only one? She has the habit of skipping class if she's bored after all. And Arisa-senpai won't be there with her.

"How scary? What's the worst thing that they did?"

I can't be too confident. I'm in high school now. Sometimes most of those who will turn delinquent are those who have a background in sport. It's not that I'm afraid of them, I'm still worried about implicating my girls.

"There's that rumor where they fought college students because of a girl. They also often pick on pushovers turning them to their errand boys."

Typical eh? That's not noteworthy, to say the least.

Well, it's all according to what Izumi-senpai heard anyway.

"I see. What about you, senpai? Are they not messing with you? Remember that day where I thought you're smoking? I saw you with a 2nd-year."

When I mentioned that, Izumi-senpai facepalmed and turned her head away.

"Forget about that. That guy wanted me to be his girl. I'm using him for my convenience."

Convenience, eh? He called himself her dog. I wonder what kind of convenience he was providing?

"What if that guy snapped, senpai? Will you be fine?"

Even if he's obedient to her now, he's bossy when it comes to his underclassmen. Is he really like Fukuda? But yeah, I still don't know a lot about those guys. I might have to ask Chii since she's always hanging out with them.

"Why? Are you worrying about me? Not only Arisa, but you're now also trying to get me?"

Ah. Of course, she will arrive at that conclusion. My question oozed out of my consideration again. I had just been lectured by Arisa-senpai and I'm probably subconsciously doing it again.

Let's make the same excuse as before.

"Like I said before, you're Nami's friend. You also considered yourself as her friend, right?"

"Don't use Nanami as your excuse when I saw what you did yesterday. And you don't have to think about that. I'm not a delinquent for show."

Ugh. Right. That excuse sounded funny now after she witnessed that.

"If you say it like that then I really have no choice but to stop poking my nose in."

She's not my target or one of my girls l and she's trying to avoid being involved with me. There's really no point for now.

"That's right. So is that enough, Onoda?"

"Yes. Thank you, Mentor. At least I learned something for today."

Even if it's superficial knowledge about that group, I guess this is enough. I told Chii that I could only talk to him out of it, nothing more. But will he become like that Enomoto who's fine being a dog to Izumi-senpai?

"Ugh. That sounded like you're complaining."

"Of course, I am complaining. I'm looking forward to learning something from this, senpai. I can only rely on Arisa-senpai when you swap again next week."

"Alright. I'll think up something next week. Happy?"

"Yes. I'll look forward to that."

After that, we spent around 30 minutes where I kept on asking her miscellaneous questions where most of it were something she couldn't answer because she didn't know.

Following that was silence so I took out my phone to check my messages and Izumi-senpai did the same. However, I noticed how she kept stealing a glance at me from where she was as if she wanted to ask me something but she's restraining herself to do it

Now that I think about it. I'm alone with her here.

"Senpai. If you want to ask something then don't be shy. We're here wasting time anyway. I'll answer it if I can."

It's to waste time but… I also wanted to know what's in her mind. I'm sure, she's too of me that she never moved an inch since earlier.

"I-it's nothing."

"You stuttered, that's not nothing."

"Ugh. Fine. You seem to be experienced with girls. What should I do to make Ogawa look at me? You saw what happened to us yesterday and you and Arisa even reenacted it but with different outcomes… Why did you still kiss Arisa? She was about to pull out."

"I see. Those sentences sounded fake. What you really want to ask is only that last question, right?"

"Just answer it."

"Haa… Alright. Because what Arisa-senpai did was totally effective. I was successfully seduced by her actions. And most importantly, I'm not indecisive. I can restrain myself but in that kind of situation, that's the best thing to do. Plus, I asked her if we should continue and she agreed. If she rejected me then I would stop."

"So, does that mean you can kiss anyone if you get their permission?"

Eh? How did this girl arrive there? That's not what I'm trying to say.

"No. Arisa-senpai is a special case. However, I can kiss anyone as long as I like that someone."

"Even if it's not Nanami?"

Is she trying to catch me with my words to snitch me out? No. That sounded like something she wouldn't do. Nami is her greatest rival for Ogawa, even now. What's the purpose of this question then?

"Senpai, I can't help but feel that you're trying to have me say something I shouldn't. What will you get from this?"

"Nothing. I'm only curious. Arisa wouldn't easily warm up to anyone. Even if she acted playful like that, that's actually a layer of her defense. But you broke through it easily and her smiles when she was trying to cover up what you two did yesterday… That's something I haven't seen in a while."

"I see. So it's about Arisa-senpai. I can't help but admire your friendship, senpai. I only acted like how I always acted around her. The same way I act around you right now."

There's really something more about Arisa-senpai. Now I can't help but be curious. Will I see her today?

"We've been together since we were young. I know everything about her, the same thing that she knows everything about me. You're the second person who made her act like that."

"Who's the first?"

"You don't have to know, Onoda. But I advise you not to play with her. You said she's a special case which means she's someone you don't really like. Yet you still kissed her and a passionate one at that. If you hurt her. I won't ever forgive you. Just remember that."

Right. Even if I hadn't realized the nature of my desire back then. All those girls who I stole were someone I liked. Even if they hated me in the end, I couldn't deny that it's what I felt about them.

But Arisa-senpai is the first girl I kissed without feeling like that. It just naturally happened. I wonder what that means to me? Or to us?

Chapter 221: Mina and Himeko

Once the bell rang indicating the end of classes, I separated from Izumi-senpai. In the end, Arisa-senpai and Ogawa didn't show up in that room. She's probably mentoring him somewhere else.

The topic of the last minutes of our talk was all about Arisa-senpai. From her words, I could clearly feel the care Izumi-senpai has for her. And even though she didn't provide any concrete information, it's enough to discern that something happened to Arisa-senpai before.

Now, I'm even more curious about her. However, if I don't run into her, I can only see her next week. I can't just go and find her to ask her about something I only guessed. Most likely she'll just brush it off.

I'll use the time before our next meeting to think about what to do with this curiosity towards her. If it turns out that this curiosity is just another form of me liking her then I'll work on it and try to get to know her better until she opens up to me. About Izumi-senpai, it's still the same, there's no point stealing her for now since I was more occupied about Arisa-senpai than her.

Well, that might change next week. Who knows? I've been controlling my desire to stop it from acting up and I've been putting all my attention to satisfy my current girls as well as work towards that future.

But controlling it doesn't mean it also doesn't need to be filled up. I've lived for years with only that as my focus, for now, it's getting filled up whenever I'm with my girls since loving them is directly related to it as well.

I'm afraid that there's the possibility that. it wouldn't be enough in the future.

I'm already afraid of losing them but here I am also afraid that just loving them won't be enough to fill my desire.

Haa. Let's put this at the back, for now, I still have things to do today.

After I escorted Aya to the Book Club and greeted Haruko, I went to the clubroom next door. It's been a while since I talked to Himeko, I wanted to check on her before going to the Literature Club.

Mina opened the door for me after knocking just once. Unlike before, her aversion towards me lessened, nonetheless, it's still there.

Upon seeing me, she squinted her eyes and asked in a low voice. Maybe afraid that the others inside would hear her.

"What are you doing here?"

"Is it bad for me to visit?"

I let out a forced smile but of course, that wasn't effective to this girl.

"Yes. We only let you in before because of Haru. The other 3 are here, they'll be angry if I let you in."

Mina retreated her head. Probably checking the others if they were curious about who's at the door. After a while, she reappeared while shaking her head.

"I see. Then can I at least see Himeko?"

Since I wouldn't be able to enter their clubroom, I stated my real purpose.

"You still haven't given up huh?"

Mina commented with a raised eyebrow, not answering my question.

This girl. Her impression of me has changed to the point that she can converse with me now. Back then, even speaking a single word with me felt like she hated it a lot.

Let's see if she will react differently.

"Of course. I like her. Also you too, Mina. I wish I could talk to you and learn more about you."

"This guy... I told you, you won't be able to steal me from Haru. You should give up now."

That sounded the same as her previous countenance towards me but the change, she's stopped averting her eyes when talking with me.

Err… But she still maintained a distance, if I cross that, she will possibly step back.

"I don't need to steal you from her, she loves you both. Look at Himeko. You can continue loving her."

They're all madly in love with the person who helped them get out of their shell. That's why when I appeared, they all hated me. Even Himeko. But slowly, I changed her view of me and in the end, she chose to trust what she thought as Haruko's purpose of introducing me to her.

"You're stubborn."

Mina released a deep sigh and broke her eye contact with me.

"I'm more than stubborn. So, will you let me know you more, Mina?"

"No. You're busy enough with how many girls you have. You won't have time for me if I ever let you try."

Eh? So that's what is hindering her from changing her mind about me. This meant that, at least, she's now accepting of my existence beside Haruko.

Well, not only she could always see how affectionate Haruko and I are to each other but also Haruko told me that sometimes, when they're together, Mina would ask her about me.

"If I showed you I can have time for you, will you let me?"

"… How will you do that?"

She didn't directly answer but by asking that, she's leaning on 'yes'.

"I'll be visiting again tomorrow. To see you."

A few minutes to see her is enough. I can do that even before but given that she hates interacting with me, she'll just be annoyed if I do that.

"So you will only do that when you're trying. What about after?"

This girl. It feels like she's afraid to be forgotten. That's probably why she sticks with Haruko. She's always there for them.

"I'll see you whenever I can, just like how I always pass by the club by escorting Aya. I won't always be able to stay but I won't forget to greet you at least. And if it's feasible, I'll stay and spend time with you."

"You didn't make promises... Wait here, I'll call Himeko."

Mina muttered her first sentence in a low voice but I caught it clearly. What does she mean by it? I don't if that's good or bad. There's no need to promise something. If I broke that, we'll just be both disappointed. Being honest is always the best answer. Given that she already knew I have other girls, that's the best of what I can do.

"What about your answer?"

Mina met my gaze again and before answering, I noticed the slight smile on her lips

"…Guess."

"I see. See you tomorrow, Mina."

There's no need to guess, she's just too shy to say yes. After all this time, I finally made progress with her. There's no need to rush to make her fall for me. Like Himeko, I want to know her story.

"You! Don't be too loud!"

Mina scolded before fully retreating inside their clubroom.

When the door closed, I waited for a minute before it opened again.

"Sorry for bothering you, Himeko. I miss you."

Even before she could say something, I beat her to it and said my piece.

Upon hearing it, Himeko lowered her head almost instantly to not let me see her blushing face.

"Uhm. How are you? I feel like you're avoiding me this past few days. Whenever I passed by the club, you're not there."

I followed up without waiting for her words. I knew what she's doing. I'm being updated by Haruko about it. She and Itou were doing their all to change her image in front of their father. And with our suggestion, the two sisters started interacting even under the eyes of those spying with them.

But yeah. She's avoiding seeing me. To not let me worry about her. However, that's not effective.

"…I don't want to worry you, Ruki. You already helped me plenty."

"I see. I thought you're avoiding me because you don't want to see me again."

"Eh? No. How can I… I miss you too."

Himeko immediately refuted and with a clear voice, she expressed herself to me.

"Uhm… I didn't hear that clearly, can you repeat it for me?"

"Y-you. Don't tease me. You heard it. My voice isn't that low."

She raised her head and for the first time today, our eyes met each other. That blushing face of hers is really something I missed. If we're not at this door, I wouldn't hesitate to kiss her.

"I know, it's just been a while since I saw you blushing like this, I also missed it. Can you come with me, Himeko?"

After a while, she lowered her head again, grumbling her complaint.

"You're unfair, Ruki… Why? Where are we going?" 𝗇𝑂𝒱𝐄𝐋𝗎𝓈𝐛.𝒸𝑜𝗆

"I want to spend time with you as well as hear about what happened. You only told me your plan and for me not to worry about you."

We even showed our relationship with Itou back then but the next day, like the other girls, she also urged me to rest and not worry about her.

"You looked so tired back then and you already helped me enough. That's why..."

"I know that but not seeing you for a while made me miss you. So, can you?"

"…Don't you have a club to attend to?"

"Yes but I already told them I might be a little late. I decided to talk and spend time with you today."

"You're always like this..."

Himeko, like Mina earlier, sighed. After that, she stepped forward leaving the vicinity of their clubroom.

"And I won't change. Let's go?"

I said before holding out my hand for her to take. This time, she stopped hesitating and took it. As soon as she did, I tightened my hold onto her hand

There's a refreshing smile on her face as I lead her back to the Book Club.

Upon realizing where I was taking her, Himeko blushed further and stuck close to me.

"Haruko, can we use the room?"

I asked once we arrived in front of her table. Her eyes were already on us as soon as we entered and given how sharp she usually is, she already knew why we're here.

"Go ahead. Take care of Hime. And Hime, be honest this time, alright? That guy always asked me about you. I'm starting to get jealous."

Haruko flashed a teasing smile towards us. Even acting like she's really jealous.

After hearing what Haruko said, Himeko stuck closer to me, extremely embarrassed. But after a while, she stuck her head out before walking towards Haruko.

Without minding that I'm here with them, Himeko kissed Haruko passionately.

"Haru, I love you."

"I know, I love you too and we both love that silly guy. Go on. Spend time with him."

Haruko urged her. Dispersing the embarrassment of the latter.

"Un. Let's go, Ruki."

Himeko nodded before turning towards me, her previous embarrassment gone. She pulled onto my hand as we headed inside the soundproofed room, leaving the amused Haruko behind.

Err... It's not like I'll do something to Himeko, I just wanted a private place where we can talk and spend time together...

Chapter 222: Overturned Expectation

"Ruki… You said we will only talk…"

Himeko muttered once she escaped my lips. With a hand covering it now, she started to inch away from me, all the while wiping the trail of our saliva which ran down below her lips.

From the middle, she instantly reached the edge of the bed.

"Sorry. I couldn't help it. I miss you."

I followed after her, however, I stopped taking advantage of our situation. I know that if I kiss her again, she wouldn't resist.

"Uh… why are you this perverted again?"

"Aren't I always like this? As long as it's to someone I like, I'll always show the real me. And I really like you now, Himeko."

I don't think I've properly said it to her. Her circumstances differ from the others after all. Haruko introduced Himeko and Mina to me and they knew my tendency to get more since the start.

For Himeko and Mina, it was my desire to steal them away from Haruko. But yeah, it's more than that now or I should say I like them since the start.

"Ya-chan will scold me if she finds out I met you."

Itou? Why? Is she preventing her from meeting me now? Did that meeting rile her up to this extent?

"I see. Then am I right when I thought that you're avoiding me? Itou told you not to meet me…"

Himeko slowly nodded before lowering her head. The way she did that… She's feeling guilty.

"Partly… Yet here I am, I lost to the feeling of missing you."

This girl…

Upon hearing that, my body moved by itself as I once again took her lips. That surprised her when our lips touched, Himeko surrendered her lips to me. Her hands that lost the place they were protecting crept to my shoulder.

When I saw that, I grew bolder as I circled my arms to her back, pulling her ever closer.

That day when I brought Itou here, we parted with a hug. But holding her in my arms like that… That was the first.

And now… we became that close again.

"Himeko…"

I whispered her name when I pulled back to inhale some air. And by doing that, I saw how she reddened further. Her hands gripping my shoulder moved and ended up on the back of my neck, pulling me closer to her.

Himeko was experienced because of Haruko, but our previous kisses were all initiated by me.

But that ended today.

For the first time, Himeko kissed me by her own volition and it included our tongues that were confined inside our mouths.

Her agile tongue coated by her own saliva instantly found its target. My tongue that was waiting for her. Though it's not the first time, Himeko wasn't just letting me move on my own. By matching me, our tongues entangled with each other more intense that it totally eclipsed our previous kisses.

Her beautiful dark eyes were gazing at me, expressing her desire at this moment. With the charm she was exuding at this moment, there's no trace of her being an introvert anymore. Or maybe she's just this way on us.

As we were busy on our lips, our embrace tightened further that she's now ended up leaning her body to me.

Because of that, I felt more of her as her soft body pressed into me.

Thinking back to the first time I met her, her aversion when Haruko told her I am going to steal the two of them was too strong.? They declared me as their enemies, a rival for Haruko's love.

A few weeks after that and here we are. Though I could argue that I didn't really do anything, our encounters were meaningful whenever we met each other.

There was that time when she called me out to that empty room, she volunteered as the first girl to confront me, which ended up in me stealing a kiss from her. It was a quick kiss where I immediately pulled back when she showed how she struggled from it. By then, I'm already sure that I want her.

"Ruki… How did I turn like this with you? You're not Haru but I keep missing you."

Himeko asked me when our lips got freed from each other again. She looked me in the eye and was clearly waiting for my answer to clear her confusion at our situation.

"You already answered your question, you know? You like me or the thought of being with me. Either way, I'm satisfied enough that you finally accepted me. Kissing you in front of Itou… that was an impulsive action from me because of how pissed I was."

Showing our relationship to Itou somehow backfired on me in a way that it led her to ask Himeko to stop seeing me. Maybe I have to talk to that girl again. Akane was giving me an update on her and though she's asking about me, it's probably her way to investigate me for her sister. She's a super sis-con after all.

"Do I like you?"

Himeko repeated my words in question form. She then lifted her hand and gently put it on my face.

"If that's not the case, you wouldn't kiss me on your own initiative, right?"

"Because you're a kissing deviant. The second time we met, you stole a kiss from me. And when you visited our club, you kissed me again."

Now that I think about it, apart from that first meeting where Haruko introduced them, there's no other instance where I didn't kiss her. Even so, Himeko accepted everything except the first one.

"I adored your bravery back then and you let me kiss you when we reached an understanding."

"That might be true… Still, you're a pervert, Ruki."

"I know. I'm a huge pervert when it comes to my girls. But Himeko, look how close we are right now. You're now comfortable with me."

From her holding onto her back, I moved my arms and completely enclosed her body. Himeko squirmed a bit when she felt it, but that's it. Even if she didn't say it, this girl also likes this closeness between us.

"This… I'm letting you hold me."

She lowered her eyes and uttered an obvious excuse. And in contrast to her words, Himeko tightened her embrace the same way I did it.

Well, let's play with her. I don't need her words; the way she acts to me right now is all I need.

"I see. So that's it? Will you let me put you down on the bed as well?"

I smirked and asked her in a teasing tone.

The way she got flustered upon hearing it was all captured by me and before she could pull herself from me, her lips were once again captured by me.

And that stopped her from moving.

I'm really enjoying this time with Himeko. Not seeing her and interacting with her after a while made me miss her this much. And the change in her character was something I wouldn't miss.

The way she carried herself was more confident than last time.

"I knew it. This is why you chose this room… you said we will only talk."

Himeko muttered after I freed her lips.

"Well, I want to savor this time with you, Himeko. That plan of yours is taking up your time, right?"

The plan to change her father's view of her. In the end, she decided not to involve me even after that talk of helping her.

I can only hear the update from Haruko. Like how she helped Itou on the management of the hotel. Though their control is superficial, their suggestions were being considered.

"… Yes. It's… progressing well."

"I see. Good to hear that. I wish I could also help you."

Himeko shook her head. Afterwards, her arms loosened up to fix her position. She buried her head in my chest as words started to escape from her mouth.

"Uhm… Just hold me like this, Ruki. The truth is… I want this. I keep reminiscing when you hugged me in front of Ya-chan. I felt your utmost care for me. You backed down to calm her down. That's why… this."

From how gentle her voice is, Himeko wholeheartedly expressed what's inside her chest.

During all that, her eyes never break contact with mine. And with a gratifying smile on her face, she ended it by planting a gentle kiss.

If it was our longing for each other earlier, that one kiss she planted on my lips delivered her gratitude to me.

"Then I'll keep hugging you like this. If you need one, don't hesitate to tell me. Also, I can see the change in you, Himeko. I'm really happy for you."

"It's because of you, Ruki. What Haru said is correct. You can bring a change in the people involved with you."

Change the people involved with me…

Somehow, that's correct. And I can't refute it this time. Even if I don't want to take credit for it, they will insist on it.

"Uh… I forgot one more thing, and this can possibly be the most important."

Himeko continued.

After she said that, I felt her heart start beating faster. With an endearing expression present on her face, Himeko's eyes locked me in place.

Even if she hasn't said it yet, I somehow got the premonition of what she was about to say. She's about to confess… 𝚗𝓞𝗏𝞮𝐋𝑢𝓢𝒷.𝒞𝒪𝗆

"… I love you, Ruki."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Himeko once again buried her face in my chest. Like a bird that got out of her cage, each and every action of hers became her way to express the words she just said.

I was only expecting her to like me back…

By confessing like that, Himeko overturned my expectation that I became speechless. Apart from tightening my hold on her, I can only stare at the girl happily snuggling on me.

Chapter 223: Take me

After her confession, Himeko didn't say for a while and instead of that, she held onto me tightly as if I would vanish if she let go of me.

I didn't expect her confession. Nonetheless, it truly made me happy. I was just wondering how she fell for me. All I've done is to take advantage of her introversion whenever we're alone.

Err… It's not like I'm not hoping for her to fall for me but I thought I still needed to work more for it. And in this case, I didn't have any chance to do that.

Around 10 minutes after that, Himeko broke the silence between us as I heard her whispering while she's still stuck onto my chest. 𝗇𝑜𝔳𝑒𝓵𝒰𝑠𝔟.𝒸𝒐𝓶

"It's weird, right? I fell in love with you when I'm still only at the level of like for you."

She also hit what I was being troubled about, eh? It's because she's probably the first who told me directly that she loved me when I was still a bit unconvinced if I deserved that yet.

"It's not weird, Himeko. It will eventually reach that point for me. In fact, I'm really happy with your confession. Look at this, I'm smiling."

Upon hearing that, Himeko raised her head and looked at me. She reached for my face and traced my lips with her thumb.

"Stupid guy, you have this charm that is unique to you. I don't know if you're aware of that or you're still the dense Ruki back when you visited our clubroom."

Unique charm, eh? But she's right, at some parts, I'm still too dense to notice something.

Himeko continued on caressing my lips as her eyes never left my face. I could see her fondness in her eyes and the expression on her face told me that what she told me was not false.

"I am aware and I accept what you truly are that's why I can let myself fall in love with you. But the others… Even if they like you or they already love you, after knowing they won't be the only one, they will be averse to it at first. If that aversion never eased up, it's possible that they will eventually give up. But looking at how many you have now, all of their aversion eased up, and they became open to this kind of relationship with you. Am I correct?"

I see. This girl and Mina have been this sharp back then as well. Because she was more open and possibly not minding sharing me with others, she could see the situation better than the other girls.

"Maybe?"

"Just continue on what you're doing for them, but you also have to exercise restraint. You kept moving from place to place as if you're running out of time. When we accept you, we're prepared to only have you depending on your availability. If you collapse, then everyone will be worried and will suffer a loss."

Restraint again, eh? However, I seem to keep on failing at exercising that kind of restraint. Her observation that I was moving as if I'm running out of time is correct. Most of them are saying that to me, though indirectly. Just like what Shizu-senpai said yesterday.

But how will I restrain myself? Tie my hands and feet together?

"Am I getting lectured?"

"Yes, you are. If I don't lecture you this time, who knows when you will push yourself until your utmost limit again. I still want to hear you say 'I love you' to me in the future. And I'm still hoping to bring you to my father. Introduce you as the man who changed me and the man who I wanted to be with. I can't have you collapsing on me."

"This… I'll keep that in mind and if you see me being stupid again, lecture me. Also, I'll make sure not to collapse on you."

I will expect another set of scolding with my girls. Maybe Haruko will say something when we go out later.

"Haru told me to be honest with my feelings, and this is it. When in front of you or Haru, I will clearly express what's on my mind."

"I see. I love this part of you, Himeko."

"Why not love me as a whole?"

"I told you I will soon reach that. I want to say it to you with my genuine feelings. It wouldn't be fair if I said it just for the sake of saying it."

It's not fair for her and also for the others. But yeah, just by how lovely this girl is, it's just a matter of time. When that time comes, I'll probably get myself more involved with that family problem of theirs. Even if she doesn't want me to involve myself, surely I will be stubborn enough to find a way to help her.

"You're right. This is why I love you."

"I like you, Himeko."

"Un, I know. Kiss me more…"

Himeko whispered before pulling my head towards her. Since she was asking for it, I didn't hesitate and gave it to her.

I immediately covered her red lips with mine. From there, it didn't take long for us to evolve from just a normal kiss to something more passionate. With our lips overlapping each other, our feelings for each other were being poured in it. Although mine was losing from the love she's pouring in, I accepted everything.

And as we continued on that, the bed was eventually used by us.

I picked her up and put her down to it. Following that, Himeko extended her arms and pulled me on top of her. While fully utilizing the softness of this bed, we once again became entangled to each other.

With my weight pressing above her, Himeko gave me full control of our current situation.

From her lips, I went down to her neck, showering it with my kisses while also picking out the spots where it would produce a reaction from her.

As I indulged myself on her spotless white neck, along with the emotion she has towards me, Himeko seductively whispered to me.

"I want you, Ruki…"

Upon hearing that, I went back up to look at her and confirm what I just heard. There's a possibility that she only got taken in by our current situation.

"Are you sure, Himeko? It will be different than what you experienced."

"I know… Even so, this is what I feel right now. Take me and teach me… This room is special for me and Haruko. That's why… I want it to become a special place for us as well."

Himeko replied. Though she's now expressing her thoughts honestly, her inherent shyness is still there.

"A special place…"

For me, this might just be a hidden room that was being used by Haruko and her girls. I only got access in here through Haruko. But for Himeko, this is probably where she built her relationship with Haruko and also this is where we first met each other. It's already special enough just by that. If her first time with me will also be conducted here, then for her, this room will become even more important than her room.

"Do you not want me?"

Since I didn't answer immediately, Himeko probably thought that I was hesitating.

"Of course, I want you. That's what I told you when we first met. I'm just thinking if there will be a more special place than this room. But now that I think of it, this room is the most special for you."

"Y-yes. This room is where I started to change. From being an introvert to how I am right now. It's more than special now that I confessed to you here and also… I want my first time to be done here."

As she recalled the things that happened in this room, I could somehow see the journey that she took. From being a castaway of her family because she couldn't take the pressure to becoming an introvert, this is the room that started to change her. It might've originated from such twisted relationships with us but even so… she managed to crawl back to the surface.

"I heard you and I understood. Let's make this place more special for you."

"Un. Hold me, Ruki."

With a beautiful smile on her lips, Himeko stretched her arms wide, waiting for me to fill the space between it.

At this moment, I already cast off the unnecessary thoughts. Even the thought of being late for going to the club to meet Kana and Rae was temporarily put at the back of my mind. There's only Himeko in my eyes.

As my lips fell upon hers again, another passionate kiss between us ensued. I'm going to answer her love for me. I want her, ever since Haruko introduced her, that's the thought that filled my mind. Now that we're at this point, whether I like her or I love her, I couldn't make the distinction anymore. Maybe after this, I will finally be able to let her hear it from me. I don't know but maybe I'm just trying to make the distinction when it's all the same in the first place.

In any case, this lovely girl in front of me, she's mine now.

"Himeko…"

"I want to say it again. I love you, Ruki."

As the words left her mouth, that became the trigger for everything that was about to happen.

Chapter 224: Itou Himeko (1)*

As the room became filled with the sounds of our kisses and the occasional moans which escaped from her mouth, Himeko's trembling hand traveled down to my pants.

Like someone lost in the dark, her hand blindly searched the front while feeling everything she touched.

Oblivious to what she was searching, Himeko went from my navel down to the bulge in my pants. Eventually, her hand ended up brushing my cock. She was stunned at first that her eyes widened. However, when she realized what it was. She traced it with her fingers while we're still hungrily sucking each other's tongue.

This kind of a bold move from her made my hand that was behaving to make its move. It moved from holding her head in place down to her supple breasts.

When my hands cupped it, Himeko released a soft moan. Her lust-filled eyes went down to it before grabbing the bulge she was tracing with her hand.

"Do you like it?"

She asked in a voice that would surely invoke someone's lust.

To answer her, my hands squeezed her two soft mounds while my thumbs pressed on that tiny bulge of her nipples. Himeko squirmed in pleasure when I did that, which produced another moan from her.

"Very. You can feel it. I'm hard for you now, Himeko."

I whispered and nibbled on her ears. The way her ears turned red upon hearing it was too adorable that I ended up nibbling on it until she started feeling the pleasure.

Afterwards, my hands couldn't be satisfied with just over her clothes. I unbuttoned her uniform and opened it up. I ran my hand on her charming navel up to her bra before slipping my fingers beneath it, dragging it upwards which revealed her two soft hills, with as pink as cherry nipples at its peak.

Himeko bit her lips as she watched me do that. She clearly has experience of a more intimate moment with Haruko but this is the first time she was doing it with the opposite gender. Her heart beat faster than ever as she pushed my head down to it as if asking me to suck it for her.

I didn't shy away from it as I put a cherry-colored nipple and nibbled on it softly. My eyes never left her gaze and she's the same. When I started sucking on it, Himeko's back arched from the pleasure she was feeling and by doing so, she buried my head further in it.

To give her more pleasure, I switched to the other one and did the same. Sucking and licking her nipples until it became fully erect. When I'm done with it, Himeko got up from the bed and switched our position by going on top of me.

She pulled on my uniform and stripped me off of it. Though a bit clumsy because of her inherent shyness, Himeko eventually succeeded.

When she saw my body, Himeko admired it for a moment before dropping down to it.

"It's not that noticeable with your uniform on, but Ruki… You're sexy. These arms and this chest that I always feel comfortable to be in… I somehow get why they want you all to themselves."

Though my girls really stare at it whenever I get naked in front of them, Himeko's the first to comment like this. There was Nami yesterday where she wondered why I have this. Nonetheless, they all liked it.

"You're also the same Himeko, this figure. I'm now envious of Haruko that she probably saw this lovely figure first."

I held her on her waist and ran my hands on it before fully taking off her bra and uniform.

"Then I will be envious of you too. You're the one who saw Haru first."

"Ah. Right. She's just beyond that door. What do you think is on her mind right now?"

"… That we're already in this position."

She looked at the door we entered from. Haruko is just behind that door, sitting on her chair while waiting for time.

Himeko intentionally sat on the bulge of my full erected cock. When we started talking about Haruko, she started to rub herself on it.

"Then we shouldn't betray her expectation. Come here."

I pulled her head up and took her lips again. My arms that were enclosed to her back slowly caressed it down until my hand reached her butt. As my hand became filled with her softness, I started guiding her hips to grind on my cock.

"Ruki…"

Himeko whispered as she moved by herself while we locked our lips onto each other.

Soon enough, I felt her warm wetness spread on it. After a few more grinding, I felt it was not enough anymore and well, I don't want to get my pants too wet.

I lifted her up first and started taking off my pants. After seeing it, Himeko went down and helped me take it off. 𝑵𝞸𝓋𝓮𝐿𝑈𝑆𝒷.𝐜𝒪𝓂

I then ushered her towards me to help her take her skirt off.

At this time, we're now down to only our underwear. I already noticed how wet her panties are at this moment and she also noticed how hard I am for her.

As we once again got taken in by our desire for each other, I put Himeko down on the bed and made out with her once again before pulling her panties off.

"Hahhh… Ruki."

She could only whisper my name seductively now as she lifted her hips slightly, giving me an easier time to take it off. And after that, my cock that was already raging for her was released.

Himeko gulped down a mouthful of saliva as she stared at it, however, her eyes were filled with her lust as well as her determination to do it with me.

"W-will it hurt?"

She asked while her eyes were still stuck staring at my cock. A bit of a precum was on its tip. It's not lubricated yet, so I started rubbing it on her wetness. Himeko trembled in pleasure when I started doing that, which made her wetter and when I pointed the tip at her clit to tease it. A loud moan escaped her mouth.

When she saw how I was smiling from that reaction of hers, Himeko turned her head sideways, expressing her embarrassment.

Just by how smooth her sacred place is, I determined how good it would feel to bury my cock inside her. If it's not our first time and I wanted this to be gentle with her, I would have already started pumping my cock deep inside her.

"Yes. I'll be gentle, Himeko."

That's all I can say to assure her.

It will always be painful for their first time. Haruko told me she never used toys for penetration on them, mostly vibrators or her fingers because for her, feeling the real thing was much better than any toys. I'm sure she only has mine as her preference and she never wanted to try anything else. In any case, that saved Himeko and Mina as well.

"Un. I trust you… Take me, Ruki…"

Himeko naturally opened her legs to give me access to it. To calm her mind down, I only pointed the tip first and rubbed it on her entrance. While doing that, I took her into another passionate kiss wherein I had all her focus on me before I slowly pushed my hips, plunging the head inside her. The walls of her insides immediately tightened up and convulsed, trying to squeeze my invading cock. Though that was probably its intention, the effect on me was too good. The warm sensation and her tightness fully captured me.

At the same time as that, Himeko's face constricted in the slight pain that she felt which ended up in her biting my lips. Nonetheless, I never backed away and kissed her deeply until she eventually eased up.

Himeko then further stretched her legs, she's too considerate despite the pain that she felt. To answer that, I pushed my hips and buried my cock deeper in her until I hit her hymen, the thin film that I was blocking my way.

"Hold on to me, Himeko, I'm going to push it all at once."

I whispered to her in which she answered with a nod. Her arms circled at the back of my neck as she hungrily went for my tongue. To take her mind away from what she's feeling below.

After determining that she's ready, I positioned myself better before strongly pushing my hips forward. As soon as I did that, the tip of my cock tore through her hymen and plunged further inside her. When I reached her deepest part, Himeko's scream of pain made her back to arch upward.

"Uhh… Ruki. It hurts."

There's a tear which escaped from her eye as she stared at me after my cock completely entered.

I used my thumb to wipe it away and gave her a kiss before whispering reassuring words to her

"It's fine now, Himeko. You did well enduring it."

My cock was throbbing as it was currently being squeezed too hard by her. Himeko also felt that and closed her eyes as she tried to feel it better.

In the end, the pain from the tearing of her hymen came back which made her face appear painful once more. And as always, I soothed it by taking her to another passionate kiss without pulling out my cock.

In time, she'll calm down and we'll be able to continue.
