Now, this is a surprise. For you to come here together. Tell me, does thismean something?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's a good thing that I stopped holding Itou”s hand halfway through. Or else,this girl would reach a conclusion right away. Even so, just the simple fact thatI escorted Itou here would make her imagination run wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What can this mean, Koto-senpai? This guy ran into me and volunteered to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>do so. Hes like a staïn stuck in my clothes. ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright. That's a very defensive answer. Contrary to that, her face was red from\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the neck upwards. I just don\"t know if Miura-senpai can pick that up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let's see. This is a good time to tease her. I refrained earlier because of theatmosphere. But at this moment, it would also suspend whatever idea wasbuilding up in Miura-senpai`s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm? Is that what happened? Why do I seem to remember you asked me tobring you to your sister? I see. It must\"ve been a dream. I crossed my armsand put a hand on my chin. I exaggerated my movements which instantly\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>made Miura-senpai snort from how absurd it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Itou who's still acting out her tsundere trait turned to me.Upon spotting the smirk on my face, she derisively clicked her tongue andplayfully nudged me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By doing so, it also allowed her to regain her composure. The color o£ her facegradually returned to normal. “Yeah. You\"re dreaming. Who are you to beasked by me? Beat me in a game first then we'll talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then crossed her arms and raised her chin proudly.Yeah. My teasing had no effect on her this time. It even helped her recover.Nonetheless, I still played along with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, I'm your... who am I again? Anyway, is that your flawed game? I'm\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>afraid you're going to rig it in your favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You! I already fixed its flawsl”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah. You say that but surely, you're going to cheat!Senpail Look at this guy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this might look like we're really close to banter in front o£Miura-senpai, that doesn\"t matter. As long as we didn't admit to it, the seniorcould only come up with her own speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My... What a wonderful chemistry you two have. Looks like my sister will have.a great rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last part came out as a murmur but it was loud enough for me to hear. Add\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to that, she was looking at me when she said it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rival to Komoe, huh? Surely, Itou could beat her many times over. And well, Ihad no idea if Miura-senpai was serious about that or not. Probably just herassumption, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acting like I didn't hear what she said, Itou and I continued to banter. And sureenough, the commotion soon gathered the attention of those inside theirclubroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they showed up, peeking from behind Miura-senpai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As always, when those boys saw Itou acting so natural around me and with.nary a grace of her high-class lady trait, they all looked at me with hostility.Well, except Hashimoto and Nishimura-senpai; the President of the Game Club.and Miura-senpai\"s boyfriend. As for the other girl, the one who got into afight with Itou, she's staring at us with the same interest as Miura-senpai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't look as mean as Itou described but like they said, you can nevertruly know someone unless you interact with him or her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright. You two, that's enough. You're going to disturb the club next door. Afew minutes later, before Itou became truly incensed at how I tried to teaseher, Miura-senpai went in between us, stopping our banter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She faced Itou first and fixed the girl's posture before turning to me,Onoda-kun, why don't you stay for a while? Play a game or two with us?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I? Well, I think this is the time for me to make an exit. I glanced at Itouand communicated with her through eye contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing her nod slightly, I refocused on Miura-senpai, I appreciate the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>offer, senpai but I still have my own club to attend to. Maybe next time?1 seel Alright, thanks for escorting Maaya-chan here.”“ Mhm. Anytime. ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon saying that, I turned around and left. I didn't bother greeting the othermmembers of their club or even Hashimoto. It's pretty trivial by now. If they're\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>going to think I have a connection to Itou then so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they would dare turn that into gossip. It would damage the image of theiridol, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed and the club hours eventually ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when I showed up late again, the reaction from Ishida-senpai or theother girls was already close to nothing. They're already used to it. Besides,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they seemed busy with something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, I spent my time there not disturbing the girls while also reading the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>book summaries Aya wrote for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would be the last to write the scenario, after all. That's why to keep itconsistent with the whole story, we decided that I should wait until\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ishida-senpai finished hers before I would start doing mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, when we got the chance, I got to hear another update from Raeconcerning Yoko-san. Although still wary of me, the dam that she built aroundherself already broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bit by bit, the feelings she prevented from leaking out came out like a surge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, she couldn't tell Rae everything all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's kind of heavy. Eurthermore, even the knowledge girl was failing tocomprehend everything right away. She`s going to try and talk to her everytime though. And honestly, that's for the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than remain disconnected even if they\"re that close to each other, Raewas finally about to regain the first one who accepted the knowledge girl as afriend and little sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around thirty minutes after the bell, I finished walking the girls to theirstations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having planned to come and check on my first task as the Disciplinary Officer,I first went back to the school and looked for Eguchi-sensei, informing her ofmy plan on how I would convince Komoe to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that was done, I visited Shio in her private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, she's not going home yet because of work so I took this chance to spendsome time with her and invited her to dinner tonight. Fuyu might not come.today and even if she did come, we°d just think of an excuse about why myhomeroom teacher was eating dinner in our house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if it was that easy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, I left the school soon after that and began my walk to the MiuraHousehold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or so that's the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as I stepped out of the school gates, a familiar car stopped right infront of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, the door to the backseat opened and from within the car,the ringlet girl stared at me with a cheerful smile on her lips, Hop in,Junior-kun. I'll take you to your destination.. You won't reject me this time,will you?\u003C\u002Fp>",1212,"2026-06-08T09:43:31.808Z",1,"novelbin.me","eaf3faee8982912d8a75ca51738425d8b13bf8aa93de1bbc0eb16c97ed5cda8a","stealing-spree-chapter-1188","stealing-spree-chapter-1186",2873,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstealing-spree-cover.jpg"]
