Stealing Spree
chapter-893

As the new day dawned on us, the first thing I did was wait for the two girls to wake up.

Ria was curled up on top of me while Aoi had my left arm coil around her body and she held it in place by clutching it by her arm.

They’re still peacefully sleeping, snoring cutely while having relaxed expressions. It’s as if they’re confident that nothing would happen to them as long as they’re next to me.

Ria was a known sleeper but she had her own body clock. That’s why I’m not worried. She’s always waking up a few minutes before or after six o’clock. She’s always having bed hair though. Furthermore, despite looking refreshed all the time, she needed a cup of hot choco to kickstart her brain.

On the other hand, Aoi’s sleeping patterns could also be described as unruly or inconsistent. She could wake up refreshed even if she’s dead tired the night before or she could wake up exhausted even after a good night’s sleep. More often than not, the girl would remain sleeping until the last minute. She always had her alarm set 5 minutes before 7. 7 is one hour before homeroom, giving her very little time to prepare. But surprisingly, she could keep up with that kind of schedule even through high school.

Anyway, the other girl that should be in our bed was already outside. Akane woke up first and after getting her morning kiss from me, done with extreme difficulty so as not to wake up the two, she happily strode off the room to prepare for our breakfast.

And that left me in this situation where I was waiting for my observant girl to be woken up by her body clock before I would try to wake up Aoi.

Since our night ended and it would be rather hard to have them both here again, I decided to make sure that I could extend my bonding time with Aoi and Ria even if it’s just for a fraction of a second.

Well, I would surely do the same thing for everyone, not just the two… One could call that a woe of having a harem but for me, it’s just a natural thing.

Anyway, like I thought, as soon as the clock ticked to six, Ria opened her eyes.

“Good morning, Dumb-senpai.”

After a cute yawn that sounds like a kitten, she greeted me with a good morning kiss.

Following that, I gently shook the girl on my left, waking her up.

After doing the same as Ria, Aoi tried sleeping in again but obviously, I stopped her. Despite the struggle, I pulled the two up and dragged them with me to the mini-gym to do our morning exercises. Halfway through it, Akane joined us.

Once we’re finished, I fit all four of us in the bathroom to take a shower together, washing off the sweat from our bodies and obviously, another extension of our lovely night.

We didn’t take long, obviously. With how early we get up today and finish our morning routine and preparation, we’re already set to go.

I would be sending the three to school. Another extension of my time with them. To avoid Fuyu’s suspicion, going in early was the only answer. And in this way, we also didn’t have to necessarily restrain ourselves when the train cars were still a little deserted.

Quickly finding an empty one and settling down on a corner, we got our own world again as we waited to reach our destination.

“Darling, I’m still sleepy. Can I sleep on your shoulder?”

“Well, you can. But how will you do that?”

Ria and Akane already took my sides, leaving Aoi one seat apart from me.

“Ria, switch with me!”

I thought she was going to stand up and just settle on my lap. But I guess, even her unruliness has its certain limit.

“Nope. I’m also sleepy. No, wait, I’m already asleep. Dumb-senpai, hold me.” Ria playfully answered and before I knew it, she was already faking sleep with her head resting on my shoulder.

Seeing that, Aoi pouted and looked at Akane. However, my silly wife also had a playful expression as she mercilessly shook her head, rejecting Aoi’s plea.

“Oh. Are you sulking again, Aoi? You do know that we’d be dropping Ria to the middle school, right? That would be your chance.”

“But I want it now, darling.”

“Hmm… Then will you settle with this?” I stretched my arm, much like my sleeping posture from last night. Seeing that, Aoi reluctantly grabbed and placed my hand on her cheek.

“Un… This is enough.”

Seeing how she started rubbing my palm on her face as well as her comfortable expression that she was producing, the girl was simply an adorable treat.

With that, our morning ride to their schools went smoothly.

We all got off at the station we often used last year or specifically, a few months ago before graduating from middle school.

Walking along the familiar road to our middle school didn’t really bring out a lot of pleasant memories. My days were always filled with thoughts of my unquenchable desire, after all.

There’s nothing more important to me other than fulfilling it. But now, with Akane, Aoi and Ria at my side, I found myself unconsciously writing and burning this memory down so that the next time I come here, this would be the one I would remember.

Although there’s already middle school students who were part of the early birds walking alongside us, none of them gave us a suspicious look. Some were curious but none of their eyes lingered as they went on their way.

Well, most of them were still innocent lads compared to most high school students who were mostly thinking about how they would get laid to discard their V-card or just to find a girlfriend or boyfriend to give color their three years of high school.

Ah. Today’s midterm exams probably also played a role. Either way, we successfully sent Ria to the school gates. I kissed her again and called it a good luck charm for today’s exams.

And although she tried criticizing the public’s belief in charms, the girl was smiling throughout and even asked for another one in the form of a hug.

Naturally, I gave it to her.

“Un. Good luck to you as well, Dumb-senpai, Aoi, and Akane too. Next time, I love a night alone with Dumb-senpai.”

After saying all that, the girl’s dazzling smile bloomed before energetically walking inside.

“That girl. Does she have to shout that?” Aoi said, clicking her tongue.

“Oh? What’s this? Aren’t you thinking of doing the same, Aoi?” asked Akane. She even leaned closer to Aoi, her playful smile still hanging on her lips.

“Ugh. Akane, No, I’m not.” And although she denied it, Aoi’s expressions betrayed her.

Starting a banter like that as we walked away from the middle school’s vicinity, our day continued to grow brighter.

Fifteen minutes later, we’re nearing the high school they’re attending. The playful atmosphere had long died down and we were seemingly wrapped in an air of seriousness.

“So, husband, have you decided what to do?” Akane opened up the conversation while Aoi perked her ears as she waited for my response.

It’s a no-brainer, the question was about the favor Aoi brought up last night.

After hearing everything, I delayed answering for this moment. Sure, I managed to use the time that passed to think about this carefully, and I came up with an answer…

“I’m sure Aoi also thought about this a lot before bringing it up.” As I said that, I looked at the two girls’ reactions and just as I thought, that favor came out of nowhere… they deliberated over whether to bring it up to me or not.

“I won’t decline it easily without proper judgment. I know you’re all aware. I’m trying to step away from that part of me and it’s for all of you… But if this was the only way I could fulfill that favor or help someone who also helped me before, then I wanted to see the real situation firsthand…”

Stealing someone. It’s actually quite dangerous. If I return to doing that again then the urges that I already bottled up had a possibility of going out of control again. However, if it’s just the method without any influence of my inextinguishable desire, then I might be able to control the situation… At least, that’s what I hope to do. But that was if I decided to undertake it.

“…Set up a way for us to meet. Ohori-senpai and that boyfriend of hers.” I turned to Aoi and the girl quickly nodded in agreement.

In any case, I doubt this would disrupt my current goals. It’s a favor so I would treat it as such.
