Stealing Spree

Although our stay in the unit got a little derailed, everything was wrapped up minutes later.

Also, as there was still spare time, I used that to bond with the three girls. We’re mostly together but at some point, they somehow decided to make it so that I could focus on them one at a time.

They’re that considerate to each other now. However, I could easily pick up their desire to just jump at me and be affectionate as much as they wanted to. And that’s also true even for Mizuki.

Actually, compared to the last time I saw her in person, her face appeared a little brighter than normal. Which is good. To others, she would probably be seen as the same as before but that’s not the case for me.

My eyes would naturally focus on observing my girls. Especially Mizuki who seldom tells me about her troubles. Back then, most of our time was spent just sitting and spending the time in silence, if we’re not in a heated moment.

I had to be more observant of her expression, mood and every nuance she would make. Only then would I get a gist if there’s something troubling her.

She’s troublesome that way. Nonetheless, I definitely enjoyed my time with her, otherwise, I would cut her off early after stealing her.

Although those instances were few, there were some girls that I had to cut off early. Not because they fell for me but because I found it troublesome to stay with them. As to what happened to them after that, I had no idea, some remained devoted to their boyfriends while some broke up quickly. Whether they recovered or the experience still haunts them to this day, I have no idea.

I hadn’t run into any of them yet and back then, they were always running away whenever they would see me even though I didn’t have any intention of interacting with them anymore.

It seems that bits of the past were coming back to me, huh? Actually, the senior to whom I lost my virginity was one of them.

She’s probably at their school. Well, it’s not like I was going to seek her out. She’s probably doing fine by now. She returned to her boyfriend, after all. Besides, cutting her off and those like her early on probably meant that I wasn’t too into them.

Still, that’s up for a debate as I hadn’t run into any of them after the change in me. Personally, I guess it’s already better this way. Like those who didn’t wait or return, it’s a lot better for them to not associate with me again.

Anyway, back to Mizuki. Seeing her expression brighten even just a little was enough to make me feel relieved. I once again tried prying on what was happening on her end but as always, the girl only gave me enough information that there’s nothing problematic and if there was something like that, she would tell me about it.

As for what happened during the past year that I cut her off, apart from the things she told me when we reconnected, I could still feel that she’s withholding something and it concerned her family or rather, the main branch of the Hasegawa Family.

“Stop prying, believe in me. You’re aware of my personality that if I can solve the problem, I will not bother you with it. If something sprang up that I deem it impossible for me to solve, you’re the first one who will hear about it.” Mizuki assured me after seeing me staring at her intensely and perhaps with a contemplative gaze. She could read me just like most of my girls. Well, this was being stubborn again.

“And can you stop pinching my nose? How many times have I told you not to?” Mizuki’s eyes narrowed into a slit again as she tried to move her head away from my hands that’s reaching for her nose.

It’s a habit. Also, I love seeing her reaction to it.

A few minutes later, with everything set and done, we left the unit and Suzuki-san sent them first to their school before driving me near mine. Just like the last time I went to the unit with Mizuki.

Like always, she’s still as silent as ever. That’s why I didn’t bother her and just waited until we arrived. Perhaps if she and Hitomi met, they’d just stare at one another.

Anyway, she’s going to drive them again later after school. Their plan ended up being simplistic despite the time they mulled over to finalize it.

Aika would bring study materials for Otoha while Mizuki, Akane and Hiyori would name themselves as her friends. The only problem they would face was Otoha’s mother. Most likely she wouldn’t allow Otoha to meet with anyone else from her school. The first point of suspicion where she could find Otoha’s ‘significant other’ would be at their school.

Who knows? Maybe she already started investigating every male student attending there.

When I arrived at our school gate, Eguchi-sensei called me and brought me to the side. I thought I had some kind of violation but she instead wordlessly fixed a button I missed on my uniform as well as aligning my blazer.

Once that’s done, she tapped on my shoulder, albeit lightly, most likely because of that aversion she had towards the member of the opposite gender before stepping away while leaving a reminder, ‘Pay attention to your appearance, Onoda-kun. I will have to scold you if you don’t.’

Well, that put a smile on my face. How do I interpret that? Is it a special privilege as her Student Assistant or it’s her way to show her concern over me? Either way, she seemed to be working on that weakness of hers. Compared to how she acted last week, to pull to the side like that and even almost come in close contact with my body, there’s no doubt that it’s a great progress on her part.

Quite possibly, I became the tool for her ‘rehabilitation’. She gotta start somewhere, right? She wanted to be comfortable with all of her students after all. About her creativeness in modifying an activity, that’s another issue to be fixed or toned down.

“Thank you, sensei.” I said before walking towards the School Building.

The first half of our school day passed by rather quickly.

After the grueling consecutive quizzes yesterday, Shio and the subsequent teachers only used a few minutes to distribute the graded papers back to us before announcing that the rest of the class would be self-studying or reviewing our mistakes on the quizzes in preparation for the upcoming midterms. That means, it’s a free time wherein we couldn’t just do anything we want.

Anyway, even if that’s the case, I spent most of those times with Aya and Satsuki. They both joined our desks to review together. And at times, we would play a simple ‘word association’ game while also stealthily being intimate with each other.

Although that got some eyes on us, most of our classmates were also doing the same. Sakuma tried to join but with his desk behind us, he settled on his desk neighbors to his left and right.

Soon enough, lunch break arrived. Since the next period would be PE, we all left the classroom while carrying our PE uniforms.

As for our destination, the empty clubroom. That’s what we decided in the end.. Every PE day, we’ll eat our lunch there and also… change there, instead of going to the changing room.
