Stealing Spree
chapter-1032

The same as yesterday, the day was possibly going to pass by without any notable event aside from the chances I could get to be alone with any of my girls.

The effect of Enomoto calling me out to that place or Nakanishi-senpai’s warning that I would be targeted after yesterday hadn’t manifested yet.

At least, to some extent, I’ve never been inconvenienced by those from their group yet.

I did receive some stares from the senior boys and hear murmurings pointing at me as the guy who had been seen walking with the ‘untouchable’ senior. But other than that, it’s the same routine.

I’m actually appreciating this peaceful lull in events coming head-on to my face. I got to devote most of my time to studying and at the same time, bond with my girls.

Ah. Right. There was news about their popularity poll where the girls made a bet with me. However, it’s still not finalized yet. But judging from my girls’ glittering eyes as they updated me about it… they probably won that bet.

Now, I’m starting to wonder what kind of request they will make…

“Hey, have you heard?”

In the middle of the sixth period when the lesson was becoming a snoozefest, Sakuma leaned forward and whispered. Even without looking at the idiot, he’s probably grinning from ear to ear just from that cheerful tone he used. Whatever gossip he picked up from somewhere, he deemed it interesting to share with me.

“What is it?”

At my side, Satsuki threw a sidelong glance. Despite looking disinterested, she perked her ears up to eavesdrop.

When the girl noticed me looking at her, the girl narrowed her eyes as though asking, ‘What are you looking at?’. She’s as grumpy as ever… Looking at her like this makes me want to tease her again.

Well, I better rein it in, at the moment. Better hear what Sakuma has to say first.

“They said we’re going riverside camping soon.”

“Camping? Isn’t that too early?”

Those types of camps were usually done during the summer season. In other words, it should be in July or September, after the summer vacation.

It’s an event where we’d have to fight against giant blood-sucking insects that would raid us during the night.

Or not.

Well, obviously, it’s a way for us, the students, to experience more interactions with each other outside the classrooms and away from phones and other modern conveniences. The teachers would give us tasks to complete as a group and spend the night out of the comfort of our beds.

During middle school, I always looked forward to it since there would always be free time where I could sneak away to fill up my desire with one of my targets or with some of the girls that I still kept by my side.

Last year, I even had a rather fulfilling night with someone when I sneaked into the tent the girl was sharing with three other girls.

The experience of making sure not to get caught or wake the other girls up was truly exhilarating…

Anyway, back to the topic, why does this guy sound so unusually excited over it?

“Yeah. It’s too early considering the camps during middle school. But there’s a reason for that…”

“Reason?”

“Yeah. Do you want to hear it?”

This guy… He’s getting annoying.

Even Aya stopped listening to the lesson to hear what he was trying to reveal.

And not just her, even our other classmates surrounding him all focused on the idiot who’s probably looking very self-important right now.

Well, if he’s so sure about it, he probably got this advanced info from someone.

“Obviously. So, stop delaying it, you idiot.” Before I could respond, Satsuki did it for all of us.

Her death glare instantly stopped the idiot from acting up and he awkwardly faked a cough. “D-don’t be angry.”

“One more useless talk and I’ll kick your desk. Hurry it up.”

This girl… She’s not on her period, is she? No… She’s always like this… Only with me would she melt, after all.

“Alright, let the guy speak,” I said, calming the girl down by pinching her arm.

That earned me the same death glare though.

In any case, that allowed Sakuma to finally reveal it.

And sure enough, it’s a little surprising considering how he tried to be mysterious about it.

“It’s Setsuna-nee who told me just now. Their department in college will be reaching out to our school to conduct the camp.”

Is that some kind of project for them? I don’t know. But for Sakuma to hear about that first… he’s probably making progress with her.

If it’s their department then… even Koizumi-san will be in it.

Uh… That girl is still keen on having me take up modeling. She was even more enlivened when she caught wind of the news about my haircut and new appearance. Now, my inbox still has unread messages from her.

I’m delaying reading it because, from the preview, Koizumi-san sent me a list of schedules where an audition for a modeling gig will take place this month.

Really, she’s even more enthusiastic than Yua who I will accompany next week to her return to that industry.

Time passed. With the chime of the bell indicating the end of the 7th period, most of our classmates hurried out for their clubs. Some stayed to chat with their friends while some who were part of the Cleaning Duty waited until everyone vacated the classroom.

I’m part of it today so… I’m among those who are waiting for the room to clear up.

Ah. Right. What Sakuma revealed earlier had already spread to our whole class, pumping up excitement for those who heard it.

But from what I observed, most of them were just looking forward to seeing both Setsuna and Koizumi-san. Also, there’s the fact that they’d be able to interact with other college students. Even if it’s still unclear what will be the arrangement for that camp, it’s certainly enough to create a buzz.

Who knows? That news will even spread to the whole school by tomorrow.

Judging from how it’s still in the planning stage, Sakuma’s ‘soon’ will be at most two weeks from now or more. So, it will still coincide with the summer season.

And admittedly, I’m also looking forward to it. This time, it’s because I can be with my girls… Furthermore, I want to let Aya, who’s always sitting out, experience it and have fun with it.

Anyway, because of this cleaning duty, escorting the girls to their clubs became impossible again. And, unfortunately, none of them were scheduled with me.

Kanzaki was also not part of it so… she’s probably just randomizing everything rather than intentionally separating me from my girls.

However, someone I didn’t want to deal with was part of the cleaning duty today. Furthermore, it’s not just one but two…

Two idiots. Or cucks. Whatever they wanted to be.

Ogawa and Fukuda.

While the girls in the Cleaning Duty started doing their tasks, the two idiots looked like they were about to confront me again.

“You two. What’s your problem? Stop standing there and do your task! Look at Onoda-kun.” Oblivious to what was making the two react like that, one of the girls on duty, Shimura, nagged at them and even made me an example.

By the way, my duty was the easiest. Wiping the blackboard clean. It’s not a daunting task.

But really, what are they standing around for? If they’re going to do something then better do it already.

Somehow, that girl appeared to have more guts than them.
