Stealing Spree

Chapter 210: Swap

After a few minutes of walking from the School Building, I got the idea where Izumi-senpai would take me.

The back of the Club Building.

"What are we doing here, senpai?"

Well, not a picnic of course.

Izumi-senpai didn't answer me, instead, she continued to walk across the grassy area behind the Club Building and stopped next to a window of a clubroom. She looked behind first to see for any other passersby before stealthily knocking on the glass.

A few seconds later, the window opened from inside the room, a slender arm of a girl could be seen from where I was standing.

When the window completely opened, Izumi-senpai swiveled back to me and with a little annoyance on her face, she pointed at the opened window. "I told you to shut up. Here, get up from here."

I stepped forward and craned my neck to peek from the opened window. From inside, I saw Arisa-senpai waving her hands at me. Behind her was Ogawa who had a confused look on his face. As his mentor, she probably dragged him to that room, the same way how Izumi-senpai told me to follow her.

Ah. I see. This Izumi-senpai. I think I can understand what she wanted to do here. My only question is... why didn't we enter through the front door? No keys?

Err... Let's ask the question later.

Following Izumi-senpai's instruction, I climbed up to enter the room using the window as the entrance. When Arisa-senpai saw me climbing up, she tried to help me by taking my hand to pull me in.

I could enter by myself but since she bothered to trouble herself like that, I didn't reject her offer. I grabbed onto her hand and used her support to enter the room.

However, due to the momentum of jumping inside and Arisa-senpai not taking a step backwards, when my feet landed on the floor, I ended up being so close to her that she had to hold onto my shoulder. My reflexes also kicked in at the time which circled my arms to her back to stop her from falling down to the floor.

For a second there, her slightly voluptuous breasts were pressed against my chest. The softness and texture I felt from it were similar to Kana albeit a little bouncier.

"Are you alright, senpai?"

My arms subconsciously tightened onto her which pulled her further.

"Un. Better than alright, actually. You're quite assertive, Onoda-kun."

Arisa-senpai raised her head with her eyelashes flickering in a bit of surprise. On her lips was her usual playful smile.

Our faces were only a few centimetres apart. Thanks to that, I captured every change that occurred on her face. Despite her slightly teasing words, what was registered on her face was her embarrassed expression which could be attributed to how we ended up in this position.

"Ah. I'm sorry."

I could hold onto her for far longer to feel her up but yeah, she'll end up totally embarrassed. Besides, there's no reason why I should do that.

I released my hand from her back and took a step backwards to separate myself from her.

During all that, Ogawa who's confused couldn't help but grow a frown on his face.

Is he envious? Not that I care about what he thinks though.

"Hey, Onoda-kun, I felt your heart race. Did it somehow excite you?"

Arisa-senpai bent forward and whispered in my ears.

Her playful nature is this strong eh? How will she react if I played along...

"It does. You're soft and squishy senpai. It's making me want to snuggle to you with only the two of us"

I whispered back and her face immediately turned red with her playful smile frozen on her lips.

She probably thought that I'm like Ogawa who would just turn red when teased by her or any other girls in that kind of playful tone. If she wanted to play like that, then I don't mind it. It's not like I'm taking her to bed.

Arisa-senpai stared at me crestfallen, her words stuck on her mouth.

Upon seeing that I smirked at her before turning my back to check the room I entered.

The place was clearly an empty clubroom but it's too dark here with a few tables and chairs unorganized. There's a side door that would surely lead to the next room, just like that room where we prepared for that act before. Apart from Ogawa and Arisa-senpai, there are no other students here.

I guess my guess is correct.

They're planning to switch mentee, to give Izumi-senpai some alone time with Ogawa.

"Did you see who's Nanami's mentor?"

From the side and while still having that frown, Ogawa directed a question to me.

For the first time, he initiated a conversation with. However, it's still about Nami.

"Yes. A girl 2nd-year senior. You don't have to worry about her getting a male mentor."

It's already mentioned earlier. The population of girls was higher that's why we two both got lucky to have a girl mentor and even luckier that we knew them.

"I see. Did she leave the room?"

Ah. This guy...

"Yes. Her mentor took her somewhere."

"I see. Thanks, man."

"Huh? Why are you thanking me? I'm her boyfriend here, why are you that interested?"

While using a somewhat confrontational tone, I raised my voice at him. He clearly forgot that Arisa and Izumi-senpai knew that I'm Nami's boyfriend and not him.

His expression changed from that slight frown to realization and eventually regret.

Coming to his rescue, Izumi-senpai who had just climbed inside by herself answered for him.

"Onoda-kun, it's not like he'll steal Nanami from you. He's just asking about his friend."

His friend. Yeah right.

"Ah. Sorry. I got a little defensive."

I tapped Ogawa's shoulder before looking for a place to sit and that brought him back to reality. At least, raising my voice like that solidified my relationship with Nami to these two.

That guy was still unaware that he wouldn't be able to crawl back up from that friendship hole anymore.

Since I dropped the topic, Izumi-senpai's mood noticeably lightened. She then turned to Arisa-senpai and woke the girl from her current state.

"Hey, Arisa? Why are you silent there? What happened?"

"Eh? No. Nothing."

If Izumi-senpai didn't call out to her, she'll probably be in that state for a little longer. After that, her eyes and head darted around as if she's looking for someone and when our gazes met, she hurriedly averted her eyes.

What I did at playing along with her really got her good. Maybe she'll stop being that playful with me after experiencing that.

Well. If she continued, I'll just keep on playing along with her until she stopped.

And if they will really swap us. I guess our interaction will be more than awkward.

"What has gotten into you? Have you already informed Kazuo?"

"Eh... No. Not yet."

"What is this about, Izumi-senpai?"

Ogawa asked because he was once again confused at the somewhat cryptic conversation between the two 2nd years.

This guy's state of mind during these few minutes has already undergone more than three changes. Will he be alright?

"If I have to guess, Izumi-senpai wanted to swap mentee with Arisa-senpai, am I correct?"

To break some tension. I opened my mouth which immediately gathered all their eyes to me.

"Huh? Is that allowed? And why do we need to swap?"

Ogawa turned his head towards me and asked.

Now. I don't know if he's really confused or he's acting dumb. Probably the latter.

"Who knows? Let's ask our mentor."

With my answer, the focus switched back to Izumi-senpai.

She threw me a somewhat accusing look first before responding to him.

Ugh. I'm already helping her, why can't she appreciate it?

"Onoda-kun is right. Are you against it, Kazuo?"

"Uhm. Not really against but I'm just wondering why we need to swap."

"Kazuo, you're being dense again. Of course, Izumi wanted to spend time with you."

Arisa-senpai rejoined the conversation by telling him directly what Izumi-senpai was aiming for. She even clicked her tongue to act disappointed at his show of denseness.

"Arisa..."

"Why? Isn't it better than making up excuses?"

Arisa-senpai rolled her eyes to her, completely shutting her down.

"Then Arisa-senpai will be my mentor for today?"

"You surprisingly agreed too fast, Onoda-kun."

"Well, Izumi-senpai won't take no for an answer, right?"

I shrugged and cast my gaze towards Izumi-senpai's direction and as if being put on a spotlight, she could only nod her head.

"Wait... Is this really allowed?"

Ah. Ogawa. Why don't you drop it already?

"Uhm. There's no rule about it. Only every Monday, Kazuo. Can you grant it to me?"

"… A-alright."

Faced with that request, the good boy Ogawa could only accept. Izumi-senpai even acted cutely in front of him, there's no way he could reject given his nature.

"Since we all agreed. Arisa, take Onoda-kun to the next room."

"You better produce results this time, Izumi."

"I know. Just go..."

Their conversation was clearly heard by us but yeah, since it already reached this point, Izumi-senpai could only follow through. Ogawa was already made aware why they wanted to swap after all.

"Arisa-senpai is a great friend, I'm amazed."

"Shut up, Onoda-kun."

Arisa-senpai pouted as she grabbed my wrist and started to pull towards the side door.

"Eh? Are you mad at me?"

"E-earlier... Nevermind. Let's leave the room for them."

"I don't really get it but I'm looking forward to learning from you, senpai."

Of course, I'm lying. I completely get it. Everything that happened in this room and even this playful senpai's reactions to me.

It's tiring to act oblivious and Ogawa was doing that everyday. That's kind of amazing, isn't it?

If Hina knew this happened after she left, what will she think? Well, she'll be mine anyway. I'll let her know this swapping that occurred but first I have to get something from this Mentor Program.
