The girl was definitely too trusting, carefree and innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, she still bore the same elegance and flair as someone from a high-class society despite spending her time with me. And through that, I gathered that this girl was raised in a peaceful environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, through our talk, I got to learn things about her and in the same sense, she learned things about me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misaki hadn’t felt anything close to ‘like’ towards the opposite gender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, ‘friend’ was the closest relationship she could establish with someone outside her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itou is her closest friend. A lot different than how I perceived it when I saw them together. And according to her, they had just met each other at the start of the school year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, ever since kindergarten, she was homeschooled. Only now did they allow her to attend a private school. As for the reason, I hadn’t tried asking her about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, to not make her uncomfortable with our talk that’s getting too personal, I stopped probing and just continued watching the cartoon with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending time with her, I could somehow say that I started viewing her as someone too precious to even think of defiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Misaki’s intention for bringing me here was truly what she stated, to cheer me up because she thought she saw me bearing a sad expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, if this was an anime, I would probably see her as someone who could emit an entirely brilliant radiance that could blind those who think of doing her harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright. That’s probably an exaggeration but my point stands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And like that, I survived the challenge for today. Furthermore, the idea of being her friend was somehow reinforced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I thanked her for cheering me up, the girl genuinely showed a relieved smile and even told me to come to look for her if ever I needed her help in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s probably planning to take me to another cartoon-watching marathon when that happens. In any case, I truly appreciate the girl’s kind and thoughtful attitude. Oh, let’s add the innocence and her elegance to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, I wouldn’t openly look for her if I ever need help. Today could be said as a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, I know that the more time I spend with someone, the stronger the tug of my desire for them. I better leave it to chance whether we could encounter each other again and hang out together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After separating with Misaki, I returned to the Club Building and made my way to the fourth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, I made an appointment with someone. To somehow abate the overflowing curiosity in her mind, I promised to meet Otsuka-senpai in the same room where we talked about that curiosity of hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike earlier where I waited and ended up being stood up, Otsuka-senpai was already inside the room, walking in circles while radiating excitement and impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as I stepped in and closed the door from behind me, Otsuka-senpai had already stopped pacing around as her eyes focused on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re finally here, Onoda-kun! I thought you’re not going to show up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for me to approach her, Otsuka-senpai closed our distance, her hand clutching on my gym shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overflowing curiosity in her sparkling purple eyes was probably enough to overwhelm someone who’s dealing with her for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I promised you, why will I not show up? Besides, I feel truly responsible for igniting your curiosity...” I answered as I walked towards the middle of the room where two chairs were already arranged side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She surely prepared that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking my arm to let herself be dragged by me, Otsuka-senpai’s giggles reached my ears. “Thank you, Onoda-kun! For accommodating my curiosity...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, I also have to apologize for leaving you hanging for the past month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She caught on to my relationship with Kana. We could’ve just explained the situation to her but that’s not what I did... I was still the same desire-driven guy back then so the first thing that came to my mind was to create a situation where I could get her to keep her mouth shut after being made aware of her personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was truly foolish and now we’re here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You truly did! I can’t think of anything else but you and your...” Otsuka-senpai trailed her voice as her hand reached towards that particular part of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With only the two of us here, she courageously went for it without any second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with my reflex and perhaps expectation that she would do something like this, I blocked that part with my own hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she only managed to grasp my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bearing a somewhat sullen expression, she raised her gaze and pouted. “... You promised, Onoda-kun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I promised to show it to you, senpai. Not to let you touch it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But won’t we still reach that point? You and I having sex.” Without any break in her voice, Otsuka-senpai declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true but that’s not what I promised, senpai. Truthfully, I am hoping to satisfy your curiosity before we reach that point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“... Fine, show me... Also, I’m sorry for being like this, Onoda-kun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otsuka-senpai released my arm and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I followed suit, taking the empty seat next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She arranged the chairs she prepared side by side rather than in front of each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worries, it’s your inherent personality. I can see that you seemed stressed about it. You slimmed down and your eyes had now dark lines below. Are you not getting enough sleep?” I slightly turned towards her and ran my thumb below her eyes to somehow measure how thick her eye bags were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she’s still radiating that overflowing curiosity of hers, Otsuka-senpai truly appeared stressed at the moment. Also, even though I could still observe her curiosity about other things she’s not as eager compared to when she’s pertaining to her interest in those things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Otsuka-senpai brushed away my hand from my face and reprimanded me while pointing her finger at me. “That’s not fair, Onoda-kun. Why are you spouting caring words as if I’m your girlfriend? Don’t worry about my appearance and just satisfy these overwhelming curiosities I have towards you, that part of yours and the thing called sex.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah... That’s right. This was the thing Arisa-senpai pointed out to me back then, I was always being considerate. Unconsciously, my mind was already gearing towards caring about this curious girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like she said, I only had to satisfy her curiosity, not treat her like how I treat my girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for the kind reminder, senpai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you understand then... strip down, Onoda-kun.” Otsuka-senpai ordered as she tapped my cheeks while smirking at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her purple eyes remained sparkling as they seemed to begin scanning me from my head down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is to satisfy her curiosity and to be responsible for my actions. I already made up my mind for this and we’re already in this room, there’s no going back now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then...” I stood up from my seat and put my hand on the waistband of my gym pants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before I could pull it down, Otsuka-sensei grabbed my arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you starting there, Onoda-kun? This first.” She said as she grabbed the hem of my shirt and flapped it lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1281,"2026-06-08T09:43:11.223Z",1,"novelbin.me","416004f9eae10697a0e690a3a85db4e492b1dc19c15b9e132576ae22313d55b5","stealing-spree-chapter-602","stealing-spree-chapter-300",2873,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstealing-spree-cover.jpg"]
