Stealing Spree
chapter-1048

Sachi, Misaki and Itou... Seeing the three women crowd around me with two of them taking both of my arms, a huge target was once again placed on my back.

However, none of those who witnessed it got something to say.

Each of the three girls had her own stellar reputation. Sachi for being a rising Volleyball player. Itou was the publicly known ojou-sama. And Misaki, well, she’s doing well with her Drama Club plus her undeniable innocent charms.

I tried looking for my girls or my classmates. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any. Besides, I couldn’t just pull away from them... Not with Misaki there.

I found myself not wanting to see the girl be hurt because of my actions.

Anyway, that situation didn’t last that long.

With only a few dozen steps of distance to Class 1’s classroom, they eventually let go of me before going on their way.

Sachi and Misaki were elated even if it was brief. Itou not so much.

The girl couldn’t break her character when in public, after all. However, before following Misaki and Sachi, she asked me something, “Hey, about that lesson for Misa. When do you think it’s possible?”

Although I could see the look of concern in her eyes, that was overshadowed by her true intention.

She wanted a chance to talk with me. Alone and without possible consternation. She probably wouldn’t mind letting Misaki hear what she had to say but at the same, she’s kind of desperate.

Is Himeko aware of this?

“I thought you’re the one who’s going to arrange it. I’m not always with her.” I answered while tilting my head slightly to peek at the back of the innocent girl.

Itou reacted to that. Her eyebrows furrowed as a hint of jealousy momentarily appeared on her face. But it faded instantly that it would not be wrong to think that it was an illusion. From other people’s perspectives, at least.

“She will like it if the invitation comes from you.”

Well, that’s true. The girl’s fondness for me was already too obvious. But because no one was pointing that out for her, she remained as the adorable bundle of innocence.

“Is that so? Alright, you arranged the time and place then you inform me about it so that I can look for Misaki and tell her.”

Although not on top of my priority, I find teaching Misaki a matter of importance. I mean, the possibility of someone tricking her is high... Better to be tricked by me than someone else, right?

Uh... I should’ve worded that better.

“I... okay. I will do it. I still have your...” Compared to her usually confident gait, this girl kept on fumbling today. But it’s understandable. Somehow, it’s refreshing to see this girl like this. Unlike the past days when she would just glare and frown upon seeing me, this is a lot better.

I can even feel the urge to tease her. Good thing I can already rein that in.

“Mhm... Send me a message. I’ll wait for it.”

After saying that, I walked away and continued to our room. Before continuing to my seat, I glanced back to see Itou hurrying to their classroom, her countenance returning to that of the aloof ojou-sama.

Although I could see some curious glances thrown at me concerning what had just happened, I simply smiled and joined Aya in her seat.

After greeting everyone with ‘good morning’, Aya and I went into our own world. While the girl talked about her books, I listened to her intently.

And with the arrival of Nami, Hina and Saki, our group gradually grew bigger and bigger that we occupied the middle of the room.

In this way, our morning before homeroom passed by blissfully.

After the third period, I went out of our classroom to do my Student Assistant duty for Shio, carrying her things to her next class.

Taking the chance of a few minutes of free time before the start of the fourth period, Shio brought me to one of the specialized rooms that no one was using at the moment.

Well, although I could always visit her at her office. It would soon be too suspicious if we were always locked alone inside it.

That’s why in cases like this, we’d find a way to spend even just a few minutes together.

Just like now.

Shio sat down on my lap, our lips taking care of each other.

As I occasionally check on her beautiful face that’s gradually turning erotic by the second, my hand found its way inside her clothes,

After passing through her smooth skin and slipping under her brassiere, her firm, supple breasts filled my palm almost instantly.

“Ruru, if you continue like this, we won’t have time to go to my next class.” Looking down at how my hand’s shape could clearly be made out from the inner shirt she was wearing, Shio sexily smiled.

“Right... Is it possible for you to skip?” At the same time as I asked that question, I squeezed that lump of softness and started fondling her. Her nipple then became erect and poked the middle of my palm.

Little by little, I was being tempted to lift her shirt and suck on it to my heart’s content.

“It might be possible for you but not for me... A teacher and a student have different duties, don’t you think so?” Shio gestured with her pointer finger, poking my nose before giggling. Nonetheless, with how red her face became, I could understand that she was holding back her moan.

She’s feeling good from my hand.

“Well, true. But I miss my Shio...”

As soon as I said that, Shio’s face suddenly lit up as though she remembered something.

Pulling my hand out of her shirt, she placed it on her cheek before saying, “Then come to our apartment this Sunday, Ruru. I also need your help in hauling my collection to our apartment.”

After caressing her cheek and planting another kiss on her lips, I focused on what she said. “Is it over?”

I meant both her divorce as well as the division of their assets.

Shio understood my question anyway.

“Yes. Everything’s been finalized, Ruru. And because he’s been caught for another offense, he won’t have any claim to the house at the moment. In a way, it should be mine while he’s facing the trial or the eventual sentence that will land on his head.” Shio answered. Her gaze was distant.

Pulling her head down to stare into my eyes, I put on a reassuring smile, “Shio, do you regret it? I mean, in a way, I’m the reason why he’s going to suffer now.”

“Regret? I will be lying if I say no, Ruru. I spent years believing in him, after all. However, because of your presence, I can still smile like this... There’s no need to keep mulling over someone like him... I’ll move on with you...” Shio answered and gradually, her distant expression eased up as her lips stretched into an extremely endearing smile.

Moments later, Shio then cupped my cheeks in her palms, “Oh. Right. Before I forget, your popularity is sky-high, Ruru. Even teachers are now talking about you. Should I start getting jealous?”

“Why will you be? Are they going to attack me?”

“No, of course not. But they’re all talking about my Ruru like a toy they’re thinking of playing with. I’m holding myself back from blurting out that you’re mine.” Shio puffed her cheeks adorably.

And upon seeing that, I couldn’t help but poke it. Before she could say anything else, I kissed her once more before saying, “Popularity is irrelevant to me, you know? And no matter what happens, my Shio will be special... Let’s make memories this Sunday, hmm?”
