Stealing Spree

Chapter 442: He's a lost cause

Because the two clients’ backs were faced towards the door, they didn’t see what happened behind them and just continued with what they’re here for. Besides, Izumi-senpai was also focused on them like a proper Club President and Arisa-senpai who averted her gaze from me also had her attention to their requests.

And those who were paying attention to Nami’s action were the three guys at the other end of their table as well as Hina and Saki.

The two girls had a momentary bitter smile on their lips before making a straight face.

Saki even acted her part as the Ruki x Nami shipper as she appeared to be fangirling over us.

Not gonna lie, it was too convincing that I wanted to praise her. Hina was already used to how close Nami and I were but with her complication resolved and with what happened between us, she’s most likely feeling jealous of us.

“I miss you too. Did you wait for me?” I also moved my arms and held her tight.

“Un. I thought you wouldn’t come.” Nami cutely nodded before she placed her head on my chest and acted as if she’s sniffing my scent.

“How can I miss not seeing my girlfriend? Of course, I will always come to you.”

From her back, I moved my hand on her hair and began combing it with my fingers, something the girl really liked that she ended up being really comfortable in my arms.

For Nami to act cutesy like this in front of them, it’s certainly a first.

However, there’s a reason for this.

It’s part of our plan to force Ogawa out of his delusion. Showing him our relationship that he was currently denying.

While Nami was so into her act, my eyes automatically moved towards the guy whose face already turned black from the rage he was holding in.

When our gazes met, I smirked at him as I tightened my arms holding Nami in my embrace. Following that, I lifted her head and acted as if I was going to kiss her.

However, before that, to give him, or them if I include Tadano, the best view, I shifted our bodies and made us face them sideways.

Nami’s eyes never break gazes with mine while her lips naturally parted as if waiting for me to take it at any moment.

“I love you.”

“Un. I love you too.”

As we both whispered our affection to each other, even though it would be proven inaudible to where they were, I could see from the corner of my eyes how Ogawa’s hands placed on top of the table turned into fists.

Naturally, this exchange of affection wasn’t an act. Despite what we planned, our feelings for each other had just really won over and in fact, it became better than what we planned.

Under their watchful or hateful stares, I dropped my lips on Nami’s and kissed her like a lover would, forgetting that we had an audience.

Bang!

I thought of savoring our kiss more but Ogawa already had a violent reaction five seconds later.

As Nami and I broke the connection of our lips and turned our heads towards the source of that loud sound, I could see Ogawa’s fist trembling from how hard he punched the table. The table was still fine, his fist, I didn’t think so. It was red and seriously swollen from just that one punch.

Well, it’s a thick table that even I wouldn’t be able to break in one punch and I wouldn’t recommend punching it just to vent one’s anger.

With that loud sound and how he almost seemed to be gritting his teeth, restraining the overflowing rage inside him, it startled almost everyone that the two clients of their club flinched from their seats.

And obviously, he successfully gathered everyone’s attention.

“Kazuo, what happened?”

The first one who showed her concern was, as expected, Izumi-senpai.

She even instantly stood up from her seat and looked at his fist. One more punch and it would surely break open his skin or worse, break its bones.

Haa… That girl’s devotion towards the guy was still this glaring. I wonder how she took it when she couldn’t find Ogawa yesterday when the coward walked out of the room?

Unlike Hina who tried and tried which all ended in vain, Izumi-senpai only began showing her affection to her after I was introduced as Nami’s boyfriend.

She only became this bold recently to take the chance that he already lost the girl he was infatuated with for a long time.

However, it’s a shame. Instead of thanking her for her concern or even apologizing to her for worrying her, the coward took his arm back from her hold and stood up, leaving her awkward there.

Following that, the guy walked and arrived in front of us.

He first looked at Nami and clicked his tongue before shifting his eyes on me.

“You. Let’s talk.”

With a voice full of suppressed rage, he pointed ahead and gestured to me to follow him.

Well, with this, our act and plan were successful.

“I got this.”

”Un. I’ll be waiting here.”

After that exchange between Nami and I, I then shifted my gaze to the other four girls, Hina was worried, Saki didn’t know how to react, Arisa-senpai still had a complicated look but a hint of worry flashed past her eyes when our gazes met and lastly, Izumi-senpai that was dumbfounded.

Kikuchi was already at Izumi-senpai’s side while Tadano and the silent guy moved up to calm the two clients down and reassure them that what happened wasn’t something alarming.

Well, if the two didn’t move, no one would. At least, they did their job.

I had no idea what Tadano had in mind or what that silent guy would do about his infatuation with Saki. They’re not important at the moment.

Leaving that room and following Ogawa where we ended up upstairs and to the almost deserted fourth floor.

After walking for a while, we arrived at another set of stairs. Obviously, the stairs towards the rooftop of this Club Building.

Surprisingly, the lock was on the knob, making it easy for us to enter it.

If I had to guess, this was another hangout spot for them.

Ogawa then walked to the middle of the rooftop just like what those anime characters do when they’re here.

With his back facing me, the rage he was holding in seemingly vanished into thin air. After inhaling and exhaling for a while which was oddly represented by his moving shoulders, he then began with his monologue.

“I met Nanami during our first year in Middle School. At first glance, I instantly determined that she’s the one I was looking for. The girl of my dreams. I approached her with an ulterior motive of befriending her. That way, I can be a step closer to the girl I like.”

“I succeeded. We became a part of the same circle. And although we have differing views on some subjects, that’s just our way to interact with each other. But then she left to study in a faraway country. Far enough that I wouldn’t be able to reach her even if I wanted to. That was a year filled with regrets of not confessing to her.”

The guy went on and on, talking about Nami. Only Nami. Everything or everyone else was omitted from his monologue. For this guy, nothing was more important than Nami.

After finishing the story he uttered that was almost the same as what I heard from Nami, Hina and Arisa-senpai, he turned around and faced me.

And with a serious face devoid of his earlier rage or any sort of emotion he culminated inside him, he asked.

“Onoda. Can I ask you to step away from Nanami? Your act. Let’s end it now. We don’t need your service anymore. I think we can tell everyone about our relationship without having any sort of issue with our circle. Your relationship with Hina seems to be going well. I am happy for you two. That’s why… Can you give Nami back to me?”

Ending his words with a pleading smile on his lips. The guy even held out his hand as if I could hand over Nami to him just like that.

Ah. Look at this guy. Is he actually the ‘Internet Explorer’ browser reincarnated?

How long will it take for him to reach today’s timeline where he watched us kissing intimately in front of him?

In any case, with what he’d shown here. This guy was truly a lost cause.

Ugh. I feel bad for Izumi-senpai but I had to put this guy down a peg or two. Wake him up to reality and end this farce once and for all.
