Stealing Spree

An hour later, all of us were already set to go.

Akane and the other two waited for us and we ate the breakfast they prepared together. After that, I brought everyone to the mini-gym to do our morning exercise.

Futaba and Eri tried to opt out of it but after telling them it could be good for their

Metabolism after a sumptuous meal or the plentiful intake of sugar, the two reluctantly agreed.

I had Akane teach them the simplified set of exercises -- something that wouldn’t be difficult for them to accomplish while Fuyu and I did the original one followed by a short lesson on tennis while practicing my swings.

Due to the time constraint, I skipped my keyboard practice and Mizuki’s brainteasers, setting them aside for later at night.

It won’t be too late if I get to it before bed.

Because everyone took a bath last night, only Fuyu, Akane, and I took a quick shower to wash our sweat off of our bodies.

And while I didn’t join them showering, Akane sneaked in when it was my turn to do so... by making an excuse to bring my towel.

Yep. She wouldn’t miss a morning of making love with me. Besides, I also hinted at her to come when I intentionally forgot my towel.

Although we didn’t need to be sneaky about this, it’s a lot better than being too open, right? Imagine how awkward it would be for Eri and Futaba.

As for Fuyu, she’s already satisfied with helping me curb the side effects of the tea earlier.

I mean, given that it took us close to an hour before joining them downstairs, only Eri might remain clueless about what we could’ve done while alone. But looking back at their forced smiles before our breakfast, Eri was probably clued in by either Eri or Futaba or she just straight-up realized the truth.

Ah. Right. There was also the small episode of Eri questioning Futaba about something when they went upstairs to change into their school uniforms.

From what I heard, Futaba changed in another room.

They didn’t know the reason but I knew...

It’s about her underwear, right? She’s still wearing my boxer shorts...

She wouldn’t use her used panties from yesterday or the stained ones that she took off. So, she had no choice but to keep wearing mine...

That’s why she couldn’t look at me straight when Eri was telling Akane and Fuyu about that instance.

Of course, I also didn’t say anything about it to save her from explaining why she had to change into it.

"Ruki. You always escort Akane to school, right?"

As we started our walk to the train station, Eri, who looked cheerful as though she was welcoming a great day, went to my side and brought up that question.

Futaba also looked in my direction, clearly curious about it as well.

"Not always. Only when I have spare time like this. But nowadays, thanks to that tea we drank last night, Akane and I can wake up so early every day without feeling sluggish. Don’t you feel it too?"

"Oh! Now that you mention it, it’s really effective. We even sweated a lot from the exercise but I still feel refreshed."

"Where did you get that tea? Can we also buy it?" Futaba asked. Like Eri, the girl was also looking refreshed despite everything that happened last night.

That’s how miraculous Rumi’s tea is. It’s also great that it only has side effects on men. That saved us from a potential disaster.

"Unfortunately, it’s not in any store in our country. Or at least, that’s what I was told. A senior gave it to me and they said it’s from overseas."

At this point, we already used a fourth of that jar of special tea leaves. Should I ask my parents to help me find its origin?

They’re not aware of it yet but I bet my mother knows that something’s enhancing my stamina. I mean, won’t she ask me if I’m having trouble with my stamina after finding out most, if not all of my girls’ information?

I haven’t heard anything related to it from her so she must be aware that I can keep up with the number of my girls who have already crossed the line with me.

Upon hearing my answer, both Eri and Futaba looked disappointed. That’s how tempting its effect is. Anyone would want to get their hands on something so miraculous.

"No wonder it’s so effective. It’s a rare one that can’t be bought anywhere close to us." "Right! I can watch all of my saved drama series at night and wake up refreshed if I have that tea!" Eri agreed with a silly smile, her eyes twinkling from imagining the possibilities.

"You two can always visit for tea, you know? One cup is enough for it to take effect anyway." I suggested with a smile

I know. That sounds like I’m baiting them to come again but whatever. It’s not like they’ll start coming every day for the tea we drink before bed.

As I expected, Futaba and Eri’s faces lit up at the suggestion. Futaba looked thoughtful, a small, knowing smile playing on her lips, while Eri’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Oh! Then I’ll definitely do that, Ruki! Even if I can only have it once a week, I can finally start cutting down on my unwatched stacks of drama series!"

I couldn’t help but chuckle at her enthusiasm. What a hopeless girl.

Before I could respond, Fuyu stepped in, her tone light yet firm "Ruki-kun. Don’t spoil her with that tea. Eri will keep slacking off if you do!"

Eri turned to Fuyu, her smile fading into a playful pout, "Fuyu, shouldn’t you be on my side?"

"Not if you’re not going to use it productively." Fuyu gave her a sidelong glance as she put her hands on her hips. Somehow, she’s like Eri’s mother scolding her unruly child.

Eri grinned mischievously as she explained with a satisfied nod. "I can watch them before bed instead of during the time I should be doing my homework."

I laughed, shaking my head at their antics. "Eri, that’s not exactly what we’d call productive."

Futaba chimed in, her voice soft yet teasing. "Ruki-kun is right. You’re just finding an excuse to procrastinate more, aren’t you?"

Eri stuck out her tongue playfully. "Hey, if I’m going to procrastinate, I might as well do it efficiently!"

At this, even Akane and Futaba who were only listening as we continued on our walk burst out laughing. Eri had this side of her that somehow made the mood around her light and

Comfortable.

Fuyu, not knowing how to counter her again, could only give up. She grabbed my arm and then said, "Ruki-kun can you scold her for me?"

"Whoa! That’s cheating, Fuyu!"

"I guess it’s fine? She won’t hurt anyone anyway. And that’s a clever way to use the effect of the tea." I answered despite Fuyu’s stabbing glares, silently telling me to agree. "Hehehe... See, even Ruki is on my side now. Bleh!" Eri cutely stuck her tongue before hiding behind me to evade Fuyu’s glare.

This continued until we reached our destination. It only stopped when we found ourselves in a tight spot to look for seats.

In any case, seeing the four girls together, most of the boys from their school somehow parted a path right straight to a corner where there were still a few empty seats for two of

Them.

Some of them probably recognized us already since Akane and I boarded the train at this time

Daily.

We handed the seats to Fuyu and Futaba who would surely be inconvenienced if it became crowded while Akane and Eri stood by my side.

Eri didn’t mind sticking close to me anyway as for Akane, she would always love it.

Just like this, our Thursday morning trip to their school smoothly passed.
