Stealing Spree
chapter-503

Going home with two, no, three beautiful women waiting for you, could be likened to the epitome of happiness for men. And that’s something I could vouch for, given that I experienced it myself.

Well, that was the case if the women waiting for you love you. If not, then tough luck, huh? At least someone was still waiting for you. Just not the kind that you would expect.

When I arrived home, Akane and Yae immediately pulled me to the dinner table to eat while Miwa-nee, half-worried and half-angry because of how late it was already, heated the meal she cooked earlier.

In the living room, I noticed Minoru was already asleep on the sofa. That just showed how even Miwa-nee waited for me to arrive home instead of just going upstairs to settle Minoru on the bed.

And even though they already ate earlier, the three women joined me at the dinner table instead of just watching me eat, turning the dinner table lively even at this time of the night.

While we’re eating, Miwa-nee told me that Shio passed by earlier, forgetting the fact that I was at my part-time job today.

No wonder the message I read from her today was about her going here.

Because of that, I called Shio before retreating to our bed with Akane and Yae.

When the call connected, Shio was already laying down in the bed, wearing a nightgown that was sticking close to her skin. Those boys in our could only fantasize about seeing her in this form but for me, it’s already a daily treat.

While rubbing her eyes, Shio looked like she had just woken up or she’s still half-asleep. Her voice was also somewhat scuffed when she greeted me.

“Did I wake you up?”

“Eh? Ruru… I miss you.” Perhaps I was right about her being still half-asleep, Shio lazily muttered it while a beautiful smile bloomed from her lips.

If not for the late night and the girls that were already waiting for me at the bed, I would probably run towards her apartment and spend the night there.

Unfortunately, we could only settle on this little time to talk to each other.

“I miss you too, Shio. I heard from Miwa-nee that you passed by earlier, sorry I’m not home.”

There’s no need for me to apologize but… I just felt like doing so. Even if she forgot about my schedule for today, she’s probably looking forward to seeing me earlier. Just imagining her disappointed expression she probably put on was enough for me to feel bad about it.

“Huh? No… It was me who forgot what you told me. Hangover hit me.”

I see. That’s the reason…She still managed to send me a message when I checked on her this morning but I guess she’s already feeling the hangover from that drinking party.

“Oh? Did you drink a lot? How are you feeling now?”

“Un. There’s you becoming a worrywart again. Not a lot but… I’m not a heavy drinker. You know it. You experienced it when I got drunk there.”

Ah. That’s right. There’s that time when she got drunk with Miwa-nee after eating dinner here.

“Well, I can’t help it. When it comes to all of you, I will always be this worrywart. But I’m glad. Perhaps in the future, I can be your drinking buddy.”

Although I could drink alcohol if chose to do so, it would just worry Miwa-nee and Shio if I did that. It’s better to wait until I was allowed to do so without any complications.

“That’s a great idea. I’ll make you drunk enough and bring you home with me.”

“Do you think I will have low alcohol tolerance?”

“I hope so. That way, I can take care of Ruru.”

“This girl… I guess I will act drunk even if I wasn’t. That way my Shio will take care of me.

“No cheating!” Shio instantly rejected before laughing at herself. Following that, she became silent as she somewhat bashfully ask something. “Uhh… When can I see you again?”

“Tomorrow, right? We’ll have that cleanup drive near the river. We can… slip out and spend some time together.”

She’s the one in charge of our class, she will naturally be there to supervise us and prevent those slackers who will not do the task.

“Naughty Ruru. That’s impossible, we’ll be found out instantly.”

Even though she said that, Shio was already flustered enough from imagining that scene. If I truly find a chance tomorrow, then I will do so.

But as she said, it will be near impossible to accomplish. But hey, if there’s a will, there’s a way.

“Look forward to tomorrow, Shio.”

After around 20 minutes of just talking to each other, Shio and I said goodnight to each other before ending the call.

Really, 24 hours a day will probably not be enough for me if I desired to be with all of them and give them ample time to spend with me.

Following that, I entered our bedroom and jumped into the bed and settled myself in the middle of the girls. And as always, Akane and Yae happily snuggled to my side as they both made themselves comfortable in it.

All of us were somewhat tired so the two only needed a few minutes of sniffing my scent along with how I eagerly pamper the two of them before they drifted off to sleep.

In a way, even if there were a few mishaps that happened earlier, this day that could be said to be fully packed ended on a good note.

Starting the day by waking up with Miwa-nee comfortably snuggling to me. Picking up Akane next door. Meeting Eimi at her house and having that little shopping date with her as well as our relationship being set in stone. Picking up Yae. Going on the date with Himeko and her sister as an extra. Hearing about Yue or Asahi. That little event where I had to rough up those few mobs for following us. My time with Sena in the same changing room that we used before. Successfully conducting the program for my first part-time job as a Beginner Instructor. Sending the girls home one by one. And lastly, running and spending time with Aika.

That’s a lot. Even when I was still driven by my desire, my day wasn’t this packed.

In any case, I enjoyed it, unlike those days where I could only think about satisfying my desire.

Perhaps tomorrow would be the same busy day like today. Most of them would be coming after all.

Well, as always, there’s no running away from it and even if I had the choice to run, I wouldn’t do it. Furthermore, I was looking forward to seeing all of them.

It’s a lot better to spend my days with my girls rather than going back to my previous routine of stealing someone and doing all those despicable things while being unaware of what they’re feeling.

END of Volume 5

First of all, I will apologize for writing it here instead of writing it in the Author’s Thoughts. I’m not writing on inkstone so I don’t have that feature. Moreover, I doubt the character limit of that feature will hinder me from saying everything I want to say.

As you can see, this is probably the longest volume to date and Ruki’s story hasn’t reached halfway yet. It’s too slow. I know. Painfully slow that I can’t truly find the best part where I can do a time skip or perhaps it will not happen at all.

Anyway, this should be the best time to end the volume (truthfully, I planned on ending it at the 500th chapter) since the story will reach another stage.

Can you imagine it? All or most of his girls from different schools appearing in one place. Can you imagine the chaos or will it truly be chaotic? We’ll find that out soon.

I am also looking forward to Akane meeting Satsuki and Nami. Most of you have the two as your best girls after all. I better make it worth your while.

In the new volume, there’s also the impending appearance of Ruki’s parents, Otoha’s grandfather, Mina’s mother and many more.

That’s why for those patient enough to stick with me until now. Thank you for reading this work. I appreciate the comments in every chapter. I’m reading all of those and without you noticing it, sometimes those comments or suggestions are influencing the story subtly.

Alright, I have to end this here before I hear complaints about having this Author’s note this long.

Once again, thank you and let us watch how Ruki’s story will go from now on.
