Stealing Spree-Novel

The inspection of that abandoned clubhouse was done fairly meticulously as Shizu went an extra mile – she took it as part of her job as the President of the Student Council – to inspect that forgotten side of the school.

Once she finished that inspection, my feet ached for her seeing her remaining standing there while contemplating. That’s why I grabbed her hand and pulled her somewhere to sit.

Although a bit miffed since she got interrupted, Shizu settled down just as quickly upon feeling my arms around her. We’re outdoors and there’s no other soul around apart from us. We basically have this whole place to ourselves. Both of us had no reason to be reserved.

In this way, it also opened her mind that this could be a chance to let me be involved with it. She told me what was on her mind and asked me what I think about it.

In the end, what she decided all boils down to either opening it to students like us or closing it off completely. She’ll also ask Hayashi-sensei about it.

Anyway, looking around us, the trees weren’t trimmed at all and there were a lot of fell-off branches and dried leaves that were probably already there since last summer.

Just by the sight of that, Shizu and I agreed that it was certainly neglected by the school’s Administration. Or if not neglected, it was intentionally haven’t given enough importance. I mean, it’s actually hard for a student to stray at this side of the school. Only those sneaky ones would possibly do, like us.

Apart from this side, there were more places that are outside of most people’s eyes. There’s that gathering spot of the delinquents and other hangout spots that one could find if they search enough.

After we’re done talking about it, our topic of conversation moved onto our relationship or rather, we treated it as our exclusive time to be together. Well, there’s not much to talk about since every time we would meet, in one way or another, we’re affirming the state of our relationship.

That’s why, putting the other issues to the back of our minds, we used that time to deepen our bonds. Both emotionally and physically.

Just like this, my last minutes in school for this week were spent with the possessive girl who’s still stubborn to admit that she’s now part of our complex relationship.

As I had planned, after sending Shizu back to the Student Council and concluding my duty there, I went straight home.

Well, scratch that. I failed to execute that plan. I still waited and escorted Shizu to their circle and checked once more on my girls from their respective clubs. That included Chii in her club.

I spent a few minutes looking for their club since I hadn’t been there before. She’s actually part of a hobby club, pulled by her gyaru friend, Kushii or Kunieda; the former was a nickname, as an additional headcount to keep that club afloat.

Since it’s still our first year, Chii didn’t have any interest in other clubs despite being a member of a Softball Club during middle school. As for her reason, she wanted to get away from exhausting training.

Despite her experience in her previous club, she failed to improve her stamina to the point of being able to endure those.

Most likely, she’s using this time to properly plot her course for the future. She will join a proper club during the second or third year or if nothing took her interest this year then she’d remain as a member of a club just to fill the required number of members.

Anyway, I spent around 15 minutes going around different clubs. And when I was about to return from checking on Satsuki at the Gymnasium, I noticed an interesting affair.

Well, affair might be the wrong word… it’s just a scene of a strained couple talking to each other in whispers.

It’s interesting because… that couple turned out to be students I know. Or better yet, they’re from the same class.

Moreover, the girl was once my target and just recently, I heard that she broke up with her boyfriend.

Right. It’s Kanzaki and the boy from our class is none other than that guy from the Baseball Club.

I forgot his name. But that was certainly a surprise.

The rumor about there’s a secret couple in our class from back then was actually true.

I suspected that it was Kanzaki but never confirmed and soon dropped it after that time in the library.

I didn’t stay long to eavesdrop on them but from what I heard upon passing by, it’s enough to confirm that they’re the ones from that rumor. This chapter is updatᴇd by N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net - novelenglish.net . bin

In class, Kanzaki never interacted with the guy except when she was acting as the Class President but there, I heard her addressing him using his first name. That’s the sign of intimacy, isn’t it?

Moreover, they both sounded frustrated at one another. On one hand, the baseball guy was asking Kanzaki if she wanted to start over and on the other hand, Kanzaki rejected him firmly, even mentioning his lack of courage to take the first step in deepening their previous relationship.

Well, I might be wrong with my interpretation given that it’s only a happenstance that I passed by where they were conversing.

Either way, Kanzaki was probably called out by that guy.

But dude? If what he’s asking was true, I’d stand by Kanzaki’s decision to reject him.

Didn’t the reason for their breakup because he got fed up with her? So much for having balls to say that but not having the balls to kiss the girl.

Uhh… Why am I getting worked up with it?

Anyway, I put that at the back of my mind as soon as I rode the train. I had a more important concern waiting for me at home…

After being greeted by both Akane and Yae at the front door, I somehow dashed towards the living room to look for someone’s presence.

Seeing how hurried I was, I heard the two girls gleefully giggling from behind me as if they were looking at their kid dashing forward to a thrilling ride in an amusement park.

“Yaeko, are you sure about this? You brought the very girl Ruki is wanting to spend time with. Your time with him will lessen.”

“That’s exactly why I picked her, Akane. Sweetie is too obvious at how much he wants to be with Miyako but he can’t find the time to do so.”

“I see. You also noticed that. Earlier, when he read your message, he almost jumped out in joy.”

“Really? Now that’s something to be envious of.”

I picked up that conversation from the two before I entered the living room. And that made my feet stop moving. Turning around, I ran back towards the two and hugged them at the same time before whispering my gratitude in their ears. “Thank you, Akane, Yae. You know there’s no reason to be envious, right? I love you just as much.”

“See this? I’m correct. This is exactly what he’s going to do.”

“Un. Sweetie will always be sweetie.”

Akane and Yae then burst into clear laughter as they pinched my cheeks in adoration. And a moment later, a felt a presence behind me and the third voice rang out, disagreeing with them.

“He’s still a hateful guy though.”

Even without turning around, I wouldn’t mistake that familiar voice…

Miyako.

Turning around, the girl’s lips were slightly raised on the side as she scoffed at my display. Nonetheless, the elation she’s feeling was radiating from her body.

Wait. These three… I got played by them, huh?
