Stealing Spree
chapter-411

By the time we returned to the room where the other three were located, there were only a little over five minutes before the lunch break would end.

That’s because after we’re done, Aya got a bit tired and she ended up falling asleep in my arms. Watching her being so calm and peaceful in it, I didn’t have it in me to wake her up.

With only one hour allotted time for the lunch break, we only ate for around 20 minutes and that included everything that happened before the adorable girl pulled me with her.

Obviously, I decided to cuddle her until she woke up. Well, her sleep didn’t last for too long anyway, she only recharged her used energy. However, if we included the time we used during our passionate exchange then it was enough to burn the remaining time for the lunch break.

While Aya was asleep, I didn’t forget to message Satsuki and Nami that due to circumstances, we would be a bit late at going back.

Still, the two plus Hina who’s still somewhat down remained in the room until we returned.

When Aya saw them, she was about to apologize to the two girls but I stopped her.

I willingly went with her after all. It’s not just her fault for taking up most of the lunch break’s time.

By promising the two that I would make it up to them, the matter was considered resolved.

However, when they’re about to go back to the classroom, I noticed how Aya couldn’t lift her head in shame.

She wanted to apologize to the two but I stopped her… Her apology wasn’t needed anymore but the guilt she felt for taking even the time that should be for the other two was still contained inside her and she lost the avenue to release it.

I thought of saying something to her but Satsuki beat me to it.

Cutting in from between us, Satsuki clicked her tongue to me. She’s certainly attributing what Aya was feeling to me.

Following that, the girl’s expression relaxed as she tapped on Aya’s shoulders.

Aya was about to ask her what’s the matter but Satsuki already put her lips before Aya’s ears and whispered something to her.

Almost immediately, the adorable girl met Satsuki’s gaze.

Because the angle only allowed me to see half of Satsuki’s face, I could only barely see how she smirked at her and put a finger against her lips before softly saying ‘Shh’.

And while that was happening, Satsuki’s eyes also shifted towards Nami who was somewhat curious about what that was about.

Upon seeing that, Nami raised an eyebrow as she slightly smiled before alternating her gaze between Satsuki and me, seeking a direct answer as to what Satsuki meant with that.

At the same time, Aya was also looking at me with another hint of red on her face.

Ah. I see… Satsuki told her what we did yesterday, huh? To lift the guilt that Aya was feeling, Satsuki let her know that she also got some private time with me yesterday.

Those kinds of moments between my girls and me were better off not said to the other girls unless I wanted them to be extremely jealous which was impossible. Just letting them know that I was with Satsuki was enough.

Akane was the exception though. It’s like she’s keeping tabs on how many times I was doing it and that included the times I spent with her.

And perhaps using that data… the silly girl was reminding me to eat more energy-replenishing foods or drinks.

Err… Is that really the reason why she kept reminding me about it? It’s more than possible.

Moreover, it’s easy to guess what she was worried about… That I would get sick from excessive sex or that I would be drained from it.

I’m still young, my stamina is still considered at its peak. Furthermore, my body is well-maintained by me. I will feel exhausted going from one place to another or overthinking things but not about that part.

In any case… that’s it. Satsuki did help Aya to let go of the guilt she was feeling but… the foul-mouthed girl also set Nami onto my back.

Well, to answer Nami, I grabbed her hand and pulled her to me.

With her eyebrow still raised as she waited for my answer, I whispered to her the gist of what Satsuki said.

Because of that, Aya and Nami had their faces blushing as they left the room to return to the classroom.

Perhaps pleased with what she did, Satsuki kissed and bit my lips before going after the two girls.

As for Hina… I thought of walking with her back to the classroom after talking to her about the things that were currently running inside her mind.

Naturally, I would let her return to the classroom first but along the way, we would be walking side by side.

Even if the bell already rang, there’s still a spare of around 5 to 10 minutes before the teacher for the 5th period arrives.

When the door closed and we were the two left behind in the room, I went to her side before she could stand up from her seat.

As I crouched in front of her, I reached my hand to her cheeks to gently lift her head and had her look at me.

”Hina… Yesterday, I finally understood what’s going on in your mind. And I’m willing to accept whatever your decision.” Looking into her with my reflection in it, I noticed how shaky it was.

Naturally, I didn’t elaborate on how I understood the scheme she cooked up for herself. But she understood that it was what I was talking about.

Hina then bit her lips and slowly closed her eyes. Perhaps she didn’t want me to see her like this or she just wanted to escape my gaze.

While caressing her smooth cheek, I continued. “Although I’m willing to accept it, I don’t want to see you like this. You see, I’m going to talk to Ogawa. Set the record straight and have him back away from Nami. I will make him understand that he can’t go back to the way it is between them and crush his obsession before it truly formed. If… if I am successful, there’s a possibility that he will go back to the same Ogawa you grew up with or change completely to a new person you might be seeing for the first time.”

Stopping at this point, I eagerly caressed her cheek a few more times before I released it from my grasp.

“Well, I’m not saying you should look forward to it. I’m not a martyr who will push you to another guy, I still love you after all. I’m telling you this to appeal to you. To tell you to pick me. Like I said before, the devotion you have with him, if you turn it to me, I will not let it go to waste.”

After saying this, I thought of standing up to just wait for her. However, Hina closed eyes opened and I once again saw my reflection in her eyes.

I was expressionless, as always or most of the time. Nonetheless, what I noticed was how her eyes became steady.

Without saying anything, Hina gently nodded before opening her arms to embrace me.

A few seconds later, I heard her voice flutter to my ears, “I’m sorry for showing my unsightly side, Ruki. The conflict in my mind is resolved. Thank you."
