Stealing Spree
chapter-399

Ten minutes later, the girls of the Volleyball Club had begun to leave the shower room one by one as soon as they finished.

Before they left, knowing that their coach was here with them, they would call out to Orimura-sensei beside me to excuse themselves as a show of proper respect to their coach.

And because of that, the woman beside me was at full attention to answer them.

Within that ten minutes, more than half of them had already finished showering. But because of what happened earlier, before going out, almost all of them still asked Orimura-sensei if there was really no ghost.

After continuously denying it, Orimura-sensei already appeared as if she’s already tired of answering them with a lie that there’s no ghost and there was no one in here with her.

She’s now sporting a long face while silently sighing to herself. Perhaps lamenting why she ended up in this kind of situation with me.

At the moment, we’re currently sitting side by side at the dry part of this small shower stall where the water splashes weren’t reaching us. However, we’re also currently alternating on extending one of our arms towards the area where the shower was sprinkling down. It was to make it sound as if Orimura-sensei was currently standing below it, doing what she should be doing inside, showering.

“Thank you, sensei. You really saved me this time. I don’t know what I would do if not for you.”

Although I said that sincerely, Orimura-sensei kept her long face as she turned her face sideways. She’s refusing to look at me.

“Shut up, pervert. What, thank you? After what you said, do you think I have a choice? You better keep your promise or I will really send that photo to the administration.”

With my successful ‘coercing’, Orimura-sensei ended up listening to my words.

Naturally, to lighten the injustice she was feeling, I promised her that I would do something for her.

I pulled her into doing what I told her. And because I kept on talking to her to stop her from reaching epiphany that she was being tricked by me, I thought of sincerely repaying this debt of gratitude.

I even gave her a piece of damning evidence that she could use as proof of my guilt in case I failed to fulfill that promise. And that evidence was in the form of a photo of me taken inside this shower stall.

Instead of only promising her with words that could be easily forgotten or ignored, having that kind of physical or rather, digital evidence that could indict me for sneaking into this Shower Room was enough to somehow calm her heavy heart.

During these 10 minutes that passed wherein we were pretending that she’s taking a shower, I already told her what I failed to tell her earlier. The identity of my girlfriend who was with me before I became trapped here.

I told her that she could ask Satsuki privately for further proof that my excuse was valid and what I told her about what happened between us here was also true.

Well, sneaking inside this place to have sex would already invalidate that excuse.

Nonetheless, telling the truth was always proven effective. It was tried and tested by me for the past years after all.

With my continuous show of sincerity with my words, Orimura-sensei had more or less calmed down already.

Being snarled at and being called a pervert just now was actually normal. That’s her only way this time to calm her mind after all.

“Un. It’s a promise, I will naturally keep that, sensei. This student here is a man of his words. I can assure you of that. Besides, you already have my phone number, you also know my name and my class, Furthermore, there is even that evidence with you. If you want you can take more of it. In truth, I am actually at your mercy now, sensei.”

“Heh. At my mercy, huh? I was led around by you, you know? I shouldn’t have listened to you. Remember Onoda-kun, this is the only chance that I will help you get out. If this same situation happens again… Even if you garnish your explanation with flowery words, I will not hear you out.”

Although I couldn’t see her face directly, I could imagine her having a wry smile at the moment.

“I understand, sensei. We’ll choose a less risky place next time.”

“Don’t remind me of that! What you do with your girlfriend, keep it in private.”

“Eh? If I didn’t tell you about that, would you accept my explanation?”

“That was that and this is this. You don’t need to repeat that detail. Now I’m having second thoughts on relying on you…”

Hearing her sigh, I couldn’t help but put on a smile…

Right. That was me trying to tease her. It was that urge to tease again.

For it to show up this time, it must be because my mind that was working nonstop earlier to think of a way to get out of this situation was already relaxed enough.

“Rely on me for what, sensei?”

“Nevermind. There’s Sachi, Nakamura and Aoba left. Stop talking to me or that girl will pick up something again.”

Well, I was already aware of what she meant about relying on me… It was what she said at the end this Tuesday. She’s thinking of using me to the two of them to become familiarized with teaching male students.

With my previous interactions with them that went well, I was probably the only candidate who could talk to them without flinching. Or I was the only one bold enough to say something about their methods of conducting activities for the PE Class.

But now that this happened… she’s now having second thoughts if she would push on that plan.

“I understand. I won’t talk again.”

“You just did!”

After another sigh, Orimura-sensei reached for my ear and as if she’s pouring in what she currently felt at the moment, she twisted my ear with all her might.

It was painful, of course, but I only scrunched my face while enduring the pain.

And after that, silence soon followed. Except for the sound of showers and footsteps outside when the last three Volleyball club members went out, nothing was said again between us.

Those three went out at the same time but before leaving, Sachi voiced out her suspicion again.

Nonetheless, before she could approach the stall again, Orimura-sensei told her off.

In this way, this crisis in the Shower Room was about to end soon.

The only thing left was for me to leave without being seen.

When the Shower Room door closed after those three left, Orimura-sensei stood up and left the stall first to check.

I followed behind her. She was my guide to the outside world after all.

Looking at this teacher being very careful at checking each stall in case someone was left behind in one of them, I became even more grateful to her.

Whatever she would ask me to do for that promise, as long as it was within my ability, I would do it.

Well, this was a lesson for both Satsuki and me. We should avoid using risky places like this.

We were overcome with our lust for each other. If it was before wherein I was only thinking of stealing the girl… I was always clear-headed to not pick risky places like this. And even if it was kind of risky like that Music Room with Yua, I was making sure that no one would be able to see what we’re doing. That ex of hers only heard it and he could only imagine what was happening.

“The coast is clear. Hurry and leave. I will still check with Maemura if what you’re saying is true so don’t be relaxed yet.” Orimura-sensei said after returning from checking the hallway outside this Shower Room.

“I understand, sensei. Just please do it privately.”

“I know. Hurry up, I still want to take my shower.”

After saying that, Orimura-sensei pushed me out of the Shower Room.

Since the door was already closed behind me, I began traversing the empty hallway and exited to that side door where I entered from.

Seeing the cloudy sky and the setting sun in the distance… I instinctively raised my arm, rejoicing about my successful escape.

No one saw me going out, right? Let’s hope so.
