Not exactly. Only close to two weeks have passed since Hina's birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her figure, nothing much has changed. She's as gorgeous as I remembered her. Also, she's still eliciting the same reaction within me when I saw her for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her well-endowed body could get someone hot and bothered in no time even if she covered herself with thick clothes. Not to mention, she's wearing a white dress tonight that clings to her body, making her figure all the more highlighted. And having her arms crossed in front of her just emphasized her bountiful mountains more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know if this is intentional or not but I'm starting to feel like not honoring my promise to Ogawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like I previously imagined, this wasn't me approaching her, rather, it was Kazuha-nee who approached me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, technically, I was honoring my words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, the fact that she stepped out of the darkness right after Hina went inside proved that she intentionally showed herself to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must've been waiting for this moment upon recognizing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you been well, Kazuha-nee?\" I started, my lips curving upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kazuha-nee scoffed and sarcastically smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have until I see you again tonight. Did you intentionally avoid coming here again? Are you afraid of being bullied by me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah. Right. She said something like that last time. To get back at me, she's going to bully me. But not long after that, I silenced her with a deep kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can still vividly remember that moment. Kazuha-nee responded to it quite well, after all. But well, I was still a little guilty for dragging her into our affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes. Hina set her up for it. However, she could've strongly refused to do anything. But she didn't do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got taken in by the temptation that she's probably regretting even at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, she's acting this way after not seeing each other for so long\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Let me start by apologizing for showing myself to you, Kazuha-nee. Did I trigger some bad memories?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kazuha-nee was taken aback as her mouth opened and closed. I couldn't catch her current expression due to the direction of the light but she was definitely not amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, I heard her sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This shameless guy... Shut up. Why don't you come with me for a moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait. Did I hear that right? She's asking me to come with her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I going to get beaten up by thugs she hired? Nah. She's not that malicious but even then... I didn't expect this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought she was just here to remind me that she was still upset from last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah. No. I think I understand why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are still in their neighborhood. If someone sees us talking like this or even hears the content of our conversation, it may impact both Hina and her negatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for me to answer, Kazuha-nee graciously turned around, giving me another breathtaking sight of her body swaying magnificently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'd bet if someone passionate about art saw her in this instance, they would call her a magnum opus. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for someone to sculpt her figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, before she could leave me behind, my foot had already taken the step to follow her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking past Hina's house, we soon arrived in front of theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have yet to step foot or even see its interior but is she seriously bringing me to their home?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cautiously looked around to see if someone was watching this but thankfully, most people in the neighborhood were already inside their house. Most likely to eat dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about the Ogawa Household? Not counting Ogawa who should be at home by now, their parents should also be inside, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kazuha-nee. Are you sure about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could reach for the doorknob and open it, I called out to her. My head tilted a little bit to the side because of the confusion behind her actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's a car parked in their yard. Unless it's hers and not their parents then... there's a chance that she was alone in the house at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about Ogawa?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Kazuha-nee, even if she's the type of older sister who loves to torment her little brother, she wouldn't just be inconsiderate of him, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, she's aware of my conflict with him. That guy even asked her not to associate with me when I ran into them at the mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, here we are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kazuha-nee got so entangled with me that she's now inviting me to their house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop being shameless for once and act normally, Ruki-kun. Ugh. I know this is a bad idea but there's no other suitable place where we can talk freely. Kazu-kun is in his room. Just bring your shoes in and not make too much noise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the conflict in her voice which then eventually got smoothened by whatever was driving her to do this, I couldn't help but look at her worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe what happened between us had been bugging her since that time. And she couldn't resolve it by herself. Now, she's suffering because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard a few things from Hina concerning Kazuha-nee but it didn't feel like something was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that she's also failing to talk to Hina properly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. I also honestly want to talk to you but I think I have to tell you something first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Is it about your promise to Kazu-kun not to approach me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You knew?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. And he told me a lot more than that. Ruki-kun... You're not just playing around, are\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. If Kazuha-nee wants to talk to me about those things then feel free. I have nothing to hide. Especially to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still have that dangerous tongue. Anyway, come in first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a shake of her head, Kazuha-nee then resumed reaching for the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon opening it, she gestured for me to come in first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I obediently followed her. Upon stepping inside, Kazuha-nee first looked around outside, perhaps also making sure that no one was watching, before closing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled a house slipper from me before lightly kicking my shoes, gesturing to me to take it\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>off quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their house wasn't that much different from the Mori Household next door. But this entrance\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>sure was narrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see a few rooms with sliding doors on the right, which probably had tatami mats as\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her lead, we passed by their living room and into the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, I could already estimate where Ogawa's room should be. But when Kazuha-nee climbed up, she turned in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her room was located on the leftmost side and even felt detached from the other rooms\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>because of what looked like a small reading corner before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we passed by that area, I saw that the books were filled with novels and manga. Nothing\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was for academics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She's working at home so... her books must've all been stored in her room, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah. That's right. This was probably why her room was in this area. To avoid being disturbed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when she's teaching a class or recording an online tutorial for her job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again... she's really bringing me to her room, huh? Is she not afraid of me at all? Or is\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she confident that nothing will happen even if we're left alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably the latter. This is their house after all... She feels secure here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait inside. I'll bring you a drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kazuha-nee opened the door to her room and once again urged me to go in first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at her for a moment to see what kind of face she had at the moment. But she averted\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her gaze and pulled on my arm instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pushing me in and closing the door again, I heard her hurried footsteps as she knocked on another room. Most likely, Ogawa's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, I heard her voice saying, \"Kazu-kun. I have a guest in my room. Don't wander around too much, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that was Ogawa acknowledging it before asking, \"Is it a friend, aneki?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright. She's covering the bases in case that guy thought about knocking at her door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I don't know what kind of conversation we'll be having here. This seems to be something she already planned on doing upon meeting me again.\u003C\u002Fp>",1425,"2026-06-08T09:44:11.345Z",1,"novelbin.me","5487e1f067d83b4d08756c5bc91c992d4e234df863d2423fe9d39d9e9298b2b8","stealing-spree-chapter-2126","stealing-spree-chapter-2125",2873,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstealing-spree-cover.jpg"]
