Stealing Spree

Chapter 213: Lecture

Arisa-senpai kept reminding me about it being a one-time thing as we left the room to look for Izumi-senpai. However, before we decided to leave, we once again got taken in by the earlier mood when our gazes met. Also, knowing that we have the room to ourselves, it heightened that earlier desire.

With gestures as our form of communication. I picked her up and sat her on the table.

Arisa-senpai didn't resist and just let it happen again. She circled her arms to my neck to pull me in while I held her at her hips to also pull her in which made us become entangled to each other.

When our lips met once again, we made out with a much higher intensity than earlier. From the normal kiss to sucking our tongues and neck. We only stopped when I tried to go lower than that in which we both stopped ourselves.

When we separated, none of us talked about what just happened and silently walked out of the room. While keeping some kind of distance.

There's still that aftertaste that it might be ignited again if we stuck close together.

I already wiped away the sweat and saliva which stuck on her but she's still too red when we moved on to a brighter place.

I know that if I said something, she would tell me to shut up so I decided to not mention anything.

I guess this could be what I would call cheating in my not-so-normal life. Without any romantic affection, I got taken in by the temptation.

I categorized Arisa-senpai as someone I can be friends with without developing any sort of affection just earlier but to think that it would immediately manifest like this...

If my girls heard this from me, they will surely be hurt, they will think that I'm not getting satisfied with them.

Ugh... But still, I wouldn't choose to hide this. I had my fun without thinking of getting any of their affections. What I felt earlier was still the same. Also, Arisa-senpai, she felt the same. Even after all that, I'm just that cheeky junior of hers.

10 minutes into our search, we found Izumi-senpai talking with Ogawa inside their clubroom. Well, we didn't really see but when we walked by the door to their clubroom, we heard their voices.

Ogawa kept on apologizing to her while Izumi-senpai was trying to calm him down. As to whether they will have progress after that, we'll know later.

"Should we enter?"

I asked Arisa-senpai at my side which she answered by shaking her head.

"I think it's better to leave them alone. Izumi will be more comfortable that way. You can go now, Onoda-kun."

"I see. There are still around 10 minutes before the bell rings. I'll wait it out here with you, senpai."

My destination after this Mentor Program will be the Literature Club before going up to the Student Council. I hope they get along well. Satsuki and Shizu-senpai, Nami and Haruko, Aya and Otsuka-senpai.

"Cheeky guy... Suit yourself. The others will also show up soon so let's sit here."

"Your skirt will be dirtied there. I'll go get some chairs."

Before I could even take a few steps, Arisa-senpai already grabbed my back collar and was trying to pull me back.

"Oi! Onoda-kun. Stop! You shouldn't always show that side of yours. You're not trying to make me fall for you, am I correct?"

I stopped my feet and faced her. I'm not really trying to make her fall for me, otherwise, I would've done that earlier when we're in that kind of situation so I nodded as an answer.

"Yet, you're unconsciously doing that! If it's not me, I'm sure the girl will start thinking of you as a guy who's trying to earn her affection"

Eh? But this is how I am ever since, right? Is there something wrong at what I am doing?

If something is different than normal then it will be...

Ah!

Right. She's not one of my girls nor one of my targets. She also pointed this out earlier when I brought the chair we could sit onto when we were peeking from the dusty room.

I see... I already had the habit of being considerate to a girl that's with me. Regardless of whether they're my target or not.

But is that enough to make someone fall for me? It's not enough, is it?

"Is that how it is? Can I not be considerate to a friend?"

After our interactions, of course, we're more than just friends now...

"You're more than considerate, Onoda-kun. Haa. Despite how great you are at carrying yourself, I can't believe you can also be this dense. Come and sit here and let me lecture you about girls."

Arisa-senpai sighed at my answer. Afterwards, she sat next to the door and tapped the space next to her.

"Uh. Okay."

Ignoring the somewhat dusty floor, I sat next to her like she commanded. Like an ignorant guy, I will be lectured... About girls...

After all of the experience I accumulated, I still have a lot to learn...

"Because it's you and with what happened between us, I know you're not actively trying to make me fall for you. You found me attractive but that's not to the point that you'll develop feelings for me... I'm also the same. That's also what I think of you."

We're really at the same page on that, eh? But this senpai, is she always this sharp? Or is it because I am in close contact with her that she started to notice things about me? Am I like an open book?

"But you see, Onoda-kun. Every move you make, especially when it comes to girls. You're putting on too much of your care and consideration. Not just with me, it even shows when you're dealing with Izumi."

"Izumi was a fool in love with Ogawa so she couldn't notice that but I'm different. Starting from that jump of yours inside the room. You didn't hesitate to touch me and take me to your arms to prevent me from falling."

"I may be playful at that time, nonetheless, it made my heart skip a beat when I felt your touch and your face which showed its concern about my well-being"

"True. You're not as handsome as Kazuo but your manliness you showed me was way above him. You didn't back out with my teasing and instead made that kind of counterattack. And when we're inside that room, though your focus was on what you wanted to learn from the Mentor Program, the first thing you did was clean a place for us. Without any complaint."

Arisa-senpai paused and turned her head to me to check whether I was still listening to her.

"Are you following me, Onoda-kun?"

"Yes. Please continue, senpai."

I nodded at her. It's kind of scary but now that I think of it, she's correct.

"You asked why Izumi liked Kazuo, you knew his nature of being indecisive. Unconsciously, you're concerned about what Izumi was trying to do. And when she was crying. You left the room for us and brought us drinks. You probably thought that you can ask us for the payment to lift the mood in the room or maybe this is just me overthinking that situation. In any case that became the effect of what you did. Every move of yours was filled with careful consideration for us."

"And when we gave in to that temptation. You're unconsciously trying to lead me on but when you noticed that I'm experienced, you let me do what I wanted..."

"Ah. Let's skip the next part. We both know what has transpired between us. And now we're here, you're still full of considerations. If it's not me, I would've thought that you're trying to earn my favor and from the actions you showed me, I will give you perfect points. You're a perfect boyfriend material and Nanami's too lucky on that."

Perfect? How did she arrive at that conclusion?

"Do you understand what I'm trying to say, Onoda-kun?"

"That I might be misunderstood by the other girls I'm not going after if I don't restrain myself from being too considerate?"

If I retain that habit of being considerate to every girl I will spend time to, there's a high chance that they'll start looking at me favorably. This isn't narcissism… Arisa-senpai clearly explained it. Maybe to some, it will not work but if I keep doing it, sooner or later I will become like Ogawa who have girls chasing after me.

Ah... There's already a lot of them chasing after me. Those girls from my middle school who I still haven't met yet. They're the actual evidence to what Arisa-senpai said.

However, I also like those girls, after reconnecting to them through Messenger. So it's not wrong to be considerate to them.

"… Yes. At least you got the gist of it. You should restrain that excessive consideration or you might become Kazuo who's being chased by girls he couldn't give his affection to. He's a fool to your girlfriend after all but even with that, I could see that Nami is more serious to you than when she was still chasing after Kazuo."

"Your approach might be somewhat different from each other but the result will be the same. It's even more dangerous for you since you're not indecisive like him. Maybe in the future, I will hear from Nanami that you're cheating on her..."

And there. She also has the same conclusion about becoming similar to Ogawa.

But cheating on Nami? I already cheated on her with you, senpai...

"I'll take these reminders to heart, senpai. Thank you."

"This cheeky guy. Just follow what I told you so you will not have a problem with Nanami, alright?"

"Yes."

I couldn't tell her and I shouldn't tell her. At least, for now. Her view of me will surely flip out if she finds out that I'm loving multiple girls and not just Nami.

Amidst all this, what I'm not clear about is... Arisa-senpai is possibly avoiding a romantic relationship with anyone. All of what she explained could also be applied to her. She only put in the front that she knew I was not actually trying to make her fall. Did something happen to her in the past that concerns that?
