Stealing Spree
chapter-663

Thankfully, upon seeing that the activity was a success, Eguchi-sensei was extremely delighted.

Perhaps, to show someone that she’s that satisfied with how things turned out, she asked me to stay behind for a while, letting me watch her act differently than how she always portrayed herself towards the other students.

“Good for you, sensei. See, you can do it if you really put your mind to it.” I praised.

And upon hearing that, her smile grew wider.

“It’s all thanks to you Onoda-kun! You really are my…”

Hmm… your what?

I failed to hear the last word she uttered since it’s too silent to catch. Anyway, it’s probably close to either ‘Guardian Angel’ or ‘Lucky Charm’.

Perhaps because of what happened earlier, I noticed Eguchi-sensei unconsciously veered away from me when she missed a step and almost tumbled towards my direction. Or I was just reading too much into it.

Either way, as long as she’s fine. It’d be bad if she returned to that state earlier. She’s not Serizawa-senpai who managed to find a solution to her fear anyway. And from my observation, Eguchi-sensei’s reaction wasn’t out of fear. As for the real reason, only she could answer that. Maybe Orimura-sensei knew as well if I factored how she instantly turned aggressive.

After rejoicing at what may seem to be her first successful slightly creative activity that I hadn’t criticized, Eguchi-sensei soon let me off.

With my girls all returning to the classroom after changing, I also did the same.

Time quickly passed and the students soon left the room for their clubs while the few students on Cleaning Duty remained.

This time, I got the blackboard duty. So, I quickly finished it without any fuss. Like the first two days, my classmates were surprised that I didn’t run away. I acted normally and chatted with them for a bit before leaving the room.

Unfortunately, none of my girls were among those in the Cleaning Duty. Well, most of them already expressed their dissatisfaction with what I did for Misaki during PE and I somehow managed to survive without a single hand landing on my face.

Satsuki remained annoyed, as usual, but she did remind me about our group study for today and where we would meet after club hours.

And because of that group study, walking along with my girls to their bus stops also became impossible.

Instead of that, I promised to check on them before going to the Student Council

So after passing by the Book Club and drinking Mina’s last brewed tea before that competition with her mother tomorrow, I went near the Student Support Club.

According to what we agreed on, Nami and Hina would take their turn leaving the clubroom to meet me.

Saki opted not to go out this time. We already talked earlier when we got the chance and from what she told me, she managed to talk to the silent guy through Messenger.

That’s surprising. The fact that he has an account on social media. He’s probably that type of person, silent in real life and loud on the internet.

Well, I wouldn’t know. We’re not friends and I only always read the latest messages on our class’s group chat whenever I got the time.

From how Saki narrated it, she only messaged him once and his reply instantly arrived. Accordingly, that’s also the first time she messaged him. She was never interested in the guy after all… but because of one instance that Taku became somewhat obsessed with her.

Anyway, Saki asked him to stop following her and that she would never see him as more than a friend in the same circle.

That’s harsh coming from a girl he liked for more than two years. However, even though that guy managed to reply that he understood, he didn’t say yes to her request.

What we showed him yesterday still wasn’t enough to stop him and drop whatever obsession he has for Saki.

Do I really have to confront him alone? Why is he even taking after Ogawa?

Haa… It’s his bad luck and indecisiveness that I got to Saki before him. And truthfully, I will never regret my decision of making her mine.

It’s one thing to be considerate of Ogawa but if I had to be considerate of him as well, I might just resort to completely destroying their circle and take my girls away from those two cowards-turned-creeps.

The backlash would be the situation blowing up and Nami or Hina becoming depressed at thinking that it’s their fault.

But in the first place, the core of that circle is that idiotic coward with the chick magnet passive skill.

I guess before doing that exactly… I have to slowly pull my girls away from their group. I have to plan that and… I will not tell them about it.

Only when they notice that the circle has already crumbled will I own up and confess to being responsible for it.

Whether they would get angry or not, I don’t know.

But I won’t be at ease if there’s the silent guy being a creep towards Saki or even that coward still hoping to be in Nami or Hina’s good graces.

About Izumi-senpai and Arisa-senpai… I’ll decide on that after things cool down. They stopped associating with me this Tuesday. It’s only been a few days so I don’t think it will be fruitful if I approach them as if a beggar begging for their attention.

I have to be patient when it comes to those two. Besides, Arisa-senpai has yet to approach Nami, Hina or Saki like she told me. She’s most likely still observing the three if their relationship will devolve to being restrained because of me.

Anyway, that’s that.

A few minutes later, Nami showed up before me, her beautiful eyelashes fluttered sexily and her lips arced into a lovable smile.

With her luscious black hair swaying at her every step, the girl looked like she had just come out of a picture frame.

As soon as she approached me, she lifted her hand before me, clearly asking for me to take it.

To satisfy the girl, I grabbed and clasped it tightly before leading her away from the vicinity of their clubroom.

“Is it just me or do you look even more beautiful today?”

“It’s just you, you sweet-talker.”

Ah. My attempt at teasing her was outrightly shot down.
