Stealing Spree

Chapter 525: Coach, do you have a crush on him?

When Suzuki dropped us off at the location I mentioned to her, we successfully met up with Sena, Aika, Yua, Elizabeth, Yukari and Miho.

After seeing the three girls with me, all of them got more curious about Chii who still had her gyaru look. With her hair dyed pink and thin but not simple makeup, they’re wondering how I managed to catch her.

However, when Chii greeted them, it was her real self and not her gyaru persona which made Elizabeth stop on what she was planning to do.

Just looking at how she posed in front of us, the chuunibyou was about to give a speech, putting her above Chii while acting like the cursed princess that she was.

Eimi, on the other hand, was somewhat overwhelmed due to how she was suddenly in front of more... slightly popular girls. Perhaps in her mind, she’s comparing herself to them.

From what I heard from them and from what I remembered during our middle school days, Elizabeth is popular despite being a source of laughter for most of the students because of how she acted. Yukari isn’t known to be Elizabeth’s best friend. She actually got her reputation because of her voluptuous front...

Perhaps if not for how I tried to help her to change her mindset of being easy to coerce or just being a yes girl, some would most likely take advantage of that fact. Fortunately, she listened to me and there’s also Elizabeth with her most of the time.

Yua is known for her modeling gig before and her sweet and great singing voice. Although she was still often linked to that ex of hers, she would clearly deny that, resulting in some of that guy’s fans finding her arrogant.

However, they couldn’t really do anything to her. She also had her own fans, moreover, she wouldn’t stay that long in that place. She would rather spend time with her friends or go to one of my girls to hang out.

Miho is actually known as the jewel of the Music Club. She’s like an exquisite diamond that suddenly graced their school’s waning Music Club that hadn’t produced any notable members for years.

Aika is the Track and Field Club’s fastest obstacle runner. Perhaps next year or after their ace leaves the club in the next semester, she will be given the title of ace.

As for Sena... Although she joined the boxing club in their school, she’s still doing all her training at the Boxing Gym. She would attend club activities, sure. But with her current strength and attainment in the sport, no one could best her among all the members of their club.

According to her, in just 2 weeks through this school year, she became some sort of a queen of their club. Moreover, she’s now their best bet on the upcoming Interhigh Competition.

This should be the first time for Eimi to meet them after becoming my girl. Perhaps they had already run into each other at school but all those times, she had no idea the connection the girls had with me. Moreover, even if she’s already in that chat group, she’s probably only reading their chats and not participating in their conversation.

Earlier, when she arrived late, she admitted to me through a whisper that she’s too nervous to greet everyone. That’s why she instantly moved to my side to calm herself down and hide it. Little did she know, it made a mark on everyone to see the new girl being that daring. Ignoring all of them and going straight to me.

Nonetheless, after she calmed down, she began talking to all of them and like what’s happening this time, she was somewhat awestruck by meeting most of them in person. Especially those truly popular like Haruko, Mizuki or Yae.

Eimi believed that she’s not popular. However, she still had some reputation under her belt. Just that, I wasn’t aware of those. I only heard some of it from Akane.

She’s not any recognizing those, the same way I wouldn’t recognize my... popularity at my school.

When it comes to Miyako meeting the six girls again, even if it was still somewhat stiff, they’re already moved past what happened that time where Miyako barged into the room when I was with Aika or she went to the Home Economics Club to try and had them open their eyes about their affection with me.

Given that she eventually turned over a new leaf and became honest with what she truly wanted, the girls already accepted her in their fold.

Among everyone, only her relationship with Sena was still somewhat stiff because of that past.

Since she’s here with us, I’m now aiming to ease that relationship with them.

“This is truly something. Two didn’t return but you brought three more.” Coach Ayu welcomed us again when we reached the Boxing Gym. And with both of her hands at her side, she gave a long glance to the three new faces or rather two new faces.

Coach Ayu recognized Miyako. Forgetting what she just commented, she stepped forward and stood in front of Mizuki. “I remember. You’re a former member of the gym... Also, I remember you’re often seen with this guy.”

“Un. That’s me. I... I am invited back by Sena.” Miyako answered which was something we prepared in case someone recognized her.

However, upon hearing Coach Ayu’s words, I couldn’t help but ask a question. “Strange. Is Coach watching me even from back then?”

And to add to that question, Sena also chimed in. “Eh? Coach, do you have a crush on Ruki? For you to even remember that... it’s amazing.”

“No, silly girl. I am an instructor. I’m scouting for talent. And as you know, this boyfriend of yours is inherently... different.” Coach Ayu immediately refuted it along with hitting us with a light chop on our heads.

“Not extraordinary?” Sena grinned and this time, she now had a clear intent of teasing her coach.

Perhaps she’s feeling that she was about to be cornered by Sena if she continued, Coach Ayu instantly steered the topic away from her. “Shut up and go in to prepare.”

“If you look at that side, they’re all waiting for the lesson to start. You called about adjusting to an earlier time... lucky you, they also agreed.”

And before we entered through the door towards the inner hall, Coach Ayu pointed at one side of this reception hall of the Boxing Gym

Crowded around the prepared seats were some of the students who attended yesterday as well as some mothers, Ichihara-san included. When our gazes met, she smiled and politely nodded at me and I returned the gesture.

Compared to yesterday, I had the time adjusted to two hours early. This way the girls wouldn’t go home late after that lesson I would also conduct at our house.

To show my appreciation to Coach accepting my request, I thanked her which Sena mimicked in a cutesy and teasing way along with saying, “Coach, if you ever find Ruki attractive, don’t hesitate to tell me.”

And that further shortened the fuse in Coach Ayu’s head. Before everyone’s eyes, the strong and confident Olympic-level boxer finally became flustered, eliciting giggles from Sena and stifled laughs from the others who were watching it.

To escape the fuming Coach Ayu, Sena immediately pulled me inside with her and straight to the changing room.
