Stealing Spree

Like I had guessed, Itou also heard their conversation, albeit a little unclear due to the volume of their voices. Due to that, I told her that she could ask me if there's something she's curious about.

I mean, she definitely wouldn't like to hear about that bit with Nishimura-senpai. She's actually more concerned about the most important point to note from their conversation.

The reason for their appearance here.

We made it our topic as we started the game of Galactic Mining Tycoon – the name she picked for that board game.

Since she revised it, before we moved into talking about the topic we set, she explained the new rules to me.

And in the end, instead of a rather complex Monopoly-like game, it gained more depth.

Mining ores and amassing a bulk of them was still the main theme. Whoever owns the most ores wins after ten revolutions. But this time, she now had a new deck of cards with situational events that could either affect the board game or the players' gathered resources.

For example, one card could destroy a planet that exists on the board resulting in that part of the board being untraversable by normal dice rolls.

In short, while patching up the obvious imbalance of the game, she managed to add more complexity to it.

For sure, it would still be difficult to understand if played by beginners but if it's the enthusiasts, they would find the game interesting enough to master it. Moreover, she told me that it's just the first version, she's going to update it, balance it more and add more content.

When my curiosity got piqued about what she actually wanted to do in the future apart from inheriting their hotels, she proudly declared her intention to create her trademark for board games or games in general.

Although that was her first creation, Itou then passionately listed more of her ideas to me resulting in my mind almost overloading.

I escaped from it by doing an exaggerated dice roll that had me draw a card before intentionally pulling us back to our main topic.

Uh. I would definitely give her my full support if that's the path she wanted to take in the future but at the moment, I would probably get a headache trying to digest everything she had in mind.

Nonetheless, witnessing that passionate fervor she had for it, it somehow pulled into my heartstrings, making me feel ecstatic about her future.

Since playing games was her way to relieve the stress brought about by the weight of expectations coming from their family, she believed that other people also deserved a fun, stress-reliever like that.

Such a noble thought.

Anyway, that's that. Our focus returned to the main point while continuing to play the game. We only planned to play one game, we still both have to show up to our clubs, after all.

"Rather than the rumor itself, I'm more concerned about the origin of it. Looks like I have to create some measures to prevent someone from finding out about this place."

Once we were done theorizing about what rumor could it be, I eventually declared that at the same time as our game ended with Itou's win.

"Remember, we're here. We can also help to prevent other people from coming here… But before that, Ruki, prepare yourself?"

Ecstatic at the result of our game, Itou cheerfully turned to me and put her hands on my shoulders as she used them to support herself in drawing closer to me.

While licking her lips clean, she donned a triumphant smile as she prepared herself to take her prize for winning; another bite to my neck.

Yeah. To make it interesting for us, we betted our necks before the start of the game. Although one could say that she had the advantage given that it was her masterpiece, the girl played fairly and I accepted the loss. My luck at the dice was just that bad.

Anyway, back to the awarding of her prize, Itou started giggling as she once again traced her earlier bite mark. "Don't hate me for this, Ruki. I'm just getting back to all the times you teased me."

Upon saying that, the girl first dropped a kiss on my lips before declaring what she was about to do while showing a devious smirk.

"I decided. To make it fair. I won't bite the same area. Let me even it out for you. You're free to tell the others that I'm the one who carved these marks on you."

This girl… Did I make her awaken her sadistic side? No, right?

"Alright. It's not like they'll be interested in who bit me. You know what they will do? They're just going to make another mark somewhere else… One of these days, I might come to school with a scarf around my neck just to hide the hickeys and bite marks from all of you."

"You seem awfully okay with that though."

"Of course, I am. A bite mark from my girl isn't a sign of shame. It's a trophy. If not for the chaos it will create if seen by others, I will flaunt it proudly." With a shameless expression on my face, I pulled my collar down, exposing the covered kiss and bite marks to her.

Perhaps not expecting it, Itou was flabbergasted. It took her five seconds to recover before a peal of cheerful laughter escaped her mouth.

"Ruki, if idiot as a word wasn't invented yet, I'll definitely send your name as an entry. And for 'shameless' too! Here I go…"

After saying that, the girl finally went to claim her prize.

Chomp!

Feeling her sharp fangs digging into my skin once again, I winced slightly from the pain. Latching her teeth for a few seconds there, the girl then followed it up with sensual licks from her cute little tongue.

While Itou admired her new masterpiece on my neck, I enclosed my arm around her, pulling her body down to settle on my lap.

Before she could protest or fix herself in position, my mouth already caught one of her exposed ears. I nibbled on it until a sweet, ear-soothing moan escaped from her mouth.

And with that, I continued assaulting her ear while enjoying her moans. I then marked it as the ending sequence for our time together.

While she was still recovering from being flustered because of her seductive moaning, I started putting away the board game and prepared us to leave the place.

I also handed her a water bottle that I specifically bought before coming here. Let's just say I predicted that we'd be a little thirsty by the end.

In a way, not only did our relationship take another step forward, but I also managed to learn a lot more about the girl. And maybe, she also deepened her understanding of me.

Her stiffness and slight awkwardness that was subtly present disappeared completely.

I could say that by the time we leave this clubhouse, Itou's reservation, doubt, and other concerns regarding this relationship she entered with me would be as good as gone.

Although I wouldn't claim that she totally loves me now, I could confidently say that I love her already…

"Let's bring Nee-sama with us next time, Ruki."

As we were about to step out of the clubhouse, Itou leaned close to my ear and whispered that suggestion.

Really, this siscon… But that's not a bad idea. The two sisters together… It can also be a chance to ease the slight awkwardness that Himeko feels about her little sister also falling onto my lap.
