Stealing Spree
chapter-544

When Nami reached Shizu, the latter still acted cold at first but eventually warmed up when her walking pace began to be hindered by the former.

Hugging her tightly like that, Nami did her best to take her older cousin’s attention and when she was successful, she moved from behind to her side, hugging her arms like a spoiled little sister as they strode along the streets together.

Occasionally, Nami would glance back to check if we’re still following them. As for Shizu, she steeled herself not to look back and just conversed with Nami away from us.

At our current distance, it was impossible to hear their conversation. But knowing those two and how important they are to each other... I am confident that it’s only a matter of time before they reconcile.

Moreover, they’re not quarreling... It was just the result of the events on the bus. If anything, I should be the one talking to Shizu.

Based on her reactions earlier, she was truly jealous of what she witnessed but at the same time, she didn’t know how to freely express it.

That’s why she stormed off, not wanting to hear me finish my words or she would end up accepting my explanation of the situation.

Now that it’s Nami who approached her, the ice she covered herself with gradually melted.

I had no idea how Nami would explain it but considering she admitted that she’s not regretting what we did, her approach would be the same as mine... Explaining the situation to Shizu.

Although that might sound like Nami bragging to her considering that stubborn girl loves me just as much as everyone, she would still listen to her.

As for the result of that, I guess we’ll see it before arriving at Nami’s house.

With the route that we are treading on, the order of their houses will be Nami, Shizu, Hina and lastly Saki.

Truthfully, Saki’s stop was supposed to be the next one but I still grabbed her hand and pulled her out with us. One other reason for riding the bus with them was to walk them home safely so there’s no way I would leave her alone there.

It’s just an additional walking distance anyway. And naturally, additional time to spend with the girl.

While we’re following the two, Hina, who I urged to speak finally opened her mouth.

“... What do I want to say? Uhm, I also don’t regret or feel guilty about it. It felt good for all of us... Honestly, I can still feel it... your finger inside me and... that part of yours in my mouth.”

The volume of her voice gradually lowered until it became a whisper. Moreover, she started fidgeting, rubbing her legs together. Most likely, imagining it happening again...

And honestly, I felt the same. With the two of them teaming up on pleasuring me, their scent, taste and how tight they squeezed me.

Perhaps if not for the pressed time, I would also not be against taking them both to the bed or even stay with them through the night.

Alas, it’s not in my plan to stay out tonight. There’s Akane and Haruko waiting for me.

I’m aware that those two will accept it if I suddenly call them and tell them that I will not be coming home tonight. I just don’t want to do it.

This wasn’t about the issue of proper time. This was because of the lack of excuse or reason to stay in their room or their house.

What would I tell their family?

‘Nice to meet you, I’m your daughter’s boyfriend. Can I sleep over in your daughter’s room?’

As if that would fly. I hadn’t even greeted them properly.

In response to Hina, I leaned slightly and whispered, “I feel the same.”

And that immediately gathered a reaction from her, she became more fidgety until she ended up leaning her body to me.

Naturally, I adjusted my hold on her and pulled her closer. This way we looked more like an intimate couple. However, with Saki at my side, clasping my hand tightly, anyone would surely be envious if they saw us.

“I have a request, Ruki. Hold me like this until we reach my house.”

”If that’s your only request, then consider it done.” It’s what I planned after all. As long as there’s no nuisance, I would be as intimate with them as possible.

But with Hina’s bringing this up, I could clearly catch on to her other motive. “By the way, do you want Ogawa to see us this close?”

With that question, although she paused for a bit, Hina slightly nodded. “I kinda want him to see what he lost because of his choices... Am I being petty?”

She lifted her eyes and met my gaze. Reading through it, what she said wasn’t everything.

There’s more to it than just showing that coward what he lost. I guess this is a way for her to get her revenge.

Can I call it as revenge? Perhaps, perhaps not.

If I could guess what the real score was here... “More than being petty... Hina, you want him to be jealous, right? You want him to regret his choices. I’m not doubting you here but considering how much you liked him before my appearance in your life... are you hoping for him to turn over a new leaf and chase after you?”

“... Can I lie?” Hina bitterly smiled.

I might not be totally accurate but I was fairly close if that’s her answer.

“Of course, you can. It’s your choice.”

And that kind of answer elicited a reaction not only from Hina but also from Saki.

However, before they could fully show it, I continued. “I still prefer hearing your honest thoughts, though. I am aware that lying isn’t always bad and sometimes it’s the best choice considering the situation. More often than not, it can also skip the difficulty of presenting the truth. Just don’t make it too obvious, alright? And I trust that you all know how to determine whether lying will result in a good or bad thing...”

“For example, even I am keeping something from all of you. And I deemed it better not to tell you. I don’t want all of you to worry so... forget I said this, alright?”

As they digested my words, the same phrase was uttered by the two girls.

“Truly a big idiot.”

The two then swiftly hugged me from my sides, slowing our steps. They also rubbed their cheeks on my chest.

I could understand Hina wanting to show off to Ogawa. But considering that unchanging coward, he would still brush it off. I would support her fully on what she wanted to happen. It’s also a way to rub more salt on his wound. Even if he’s already numb, his wound would continue to fester.

Like Hina. I’m also a petty guy. In fact, I am surely worse than her.

After a few minutes of walking, we soon arrived at Nami’s street. Unlike yesterday wherein I had the others wait from a distance to send them one by one, this time, all four girls walked with us just that, Nami was now the one next to me, clinging tightly on my arms.

Shizu, Hina and Saki were a step behind us.

When I asked Nami the result of their talk, the girl only flashed a wide and smug grin while posing with a peace sign.

Upon seeing that, Shizu facepalmed, refusing to elaborate further. Whatever they talked about... I could feel that their bond grew stronger and perhaps, closer.

If before Shizu was a complete older sister, the way they acted around each other has slightly changed as if they’re now closer in age.

“See you tomorrow, Ruu. Too bad, my house is the closest.” With her lips pouted, Nami faked a disappointed expression.

But even if it was faked, I still intentionally fell for it. Even when she’s already inside their gate, I grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.

After exchanging another passionate kiss right in front of their house, I then whispered to her, “Next time, I will enter this gate with you. Have a good night, Nami. See you tomorrow.”

“You better keep that promise.” Nami happily replied, her beautiful smile plastered on her lips.

Following that, she also bid goodnight to the other three girls before going in.

Before continuing to our next destination, my eyes moved to the house next door. Fortunately, Tadano was nowhere in sight or he’s not just in plain sight. Either way, whether he saw us again or not, it didn’t matter anymore. What’s happening in their circle could all be attributed to me but it was also undeniable that they’re partly responsible for it.

The best he could do was accept me for Nami.

He lost, Ogawa lost and even that Taku lost. What can I do? I ended up loving almost all of the girls in their circle and because of their considerations... it’s already too late for them.
