Stealing Spree

Although Hina provided that information, I noticed how she was gloating at him. She seemed really pleased that Ogawa was reduced to that.

A woman’s hate is truly frightening. Although there’s a possibility for it to be abated by talking to the girl, apologizing if needed and reaching an understanding like what I did with Miyako, Ogawa didn’t have any inkling of doing anything. He took Hina’s years-long friendship for granted. He even tried using her to satisfy his desire to get Nami.

That’s just blatant disrespect that showed how little Ogawa thought of Hina.

Although I was also guilty of using other girls back then, I wasn’t like him who fostered friendships with them. I was admittedly selfish while Ogawa was blind to that fact.

I laid that out to him yesterday but apart from breaking down and going home early, nothing changed.

Or I could give him some reprieve and say that he was still in the process of collecting himself. However, I just couldn’t scratch the itch completely in wanting to continue jabbing and criticizing his whole person.

He had years under his hand but he did nothing about his relationship. He took them all for granted. Be it Hina or anyone else in their circle. Obviously, it’s also the same with Nami. Just because Nami also expressed interest – not vocally – he didn’t even put an ounce of effort into making the first move. Nami still had to act and add a new variable to spur him to action.

He continued acting like a wimp and took everything for granted by acting the ‘good guy’ persona.

And I could confidently say that even if I didn’t get in their way and they became a couple through Nami’s own effort, they wouldn’t last that long.

Because Nami would eventually see nothing but an empty husk with only a beautiful or endearing exterior. And in the long run, not only Nami, everyone would leave him one by one.

He wouldn’t be alone though. He still had that passive skill to attract anyone and everyone. They would still fall for his good guy persona.

But if that happened, he’d remain an empty husk.

In a way and this wasn’t me taking this into a positive light, Ogawa encountering me was a boon. He would now get character development early on.

It’s just a mystery what he would become. Worse or better?

But as always, I couldn’t care less…

“Nami, what do you think?”

Well, even if she didn’t say anything, the girl was easy to read when it comes to those that she considers her friend. Unlike Hina who had justified hate, Nami didn’t have any reason to do so as well. Her guilt that was already, more or less, resolved was a different matter altogether.

“You did what you thought you had to do, Ruu. He needed that. In fact, I’m grateful to you. I just… don’t want to say it in fear that you might think I still feel guilty for dumping him for you.”

Since we were still in the classroom, Nami had to ask Aya to change seats for a while to whisper that to me.

As expected, this girl’s kindness was like a blinding veil of holistic aura. Beneath her rather frightening front of being someone with a high observation skills, she’s just a darling to those close to her.

Those who could be considered as her friend were too lucky. Too bad, Ogawa wasn’t seeing that and he’s only obsessed with making her his as though she’s something he ought to possess.

“Well, if you really still feel guilty, I will have to correct you. But if not then you’re free to say anything. I’ll listen to you anytime.” I reached for her hand under the desk and gave it a gentle squeeze.

After digesting my words and relishing the connection we made, albeit stealthily, the girl flashed her beautiful smile. She even bit her lips. Most likely, she’s restraining herself to kiss me openly.

Following that, she returned to her seat and we continued our review of the product of Shio’s hard work.

Time passed and the PE Class had just ended. During lunch, we ate in the classroom again and unlike yesterday when we went to that abandoned side of the school, I went to one of the clubrooms we were using to check on Akane, Otoha, Nao, Yue and all the girls at the other school.

I used the little time to talk and accompany them. Some were still eating lunch while some were already resting. In time, Satsuki and the other girls who didn’t have anything to do also showed up in the room.

Satsuki tried making them jealous by clinging closely and even kissing me. Although I scolded her right after, I knew that some of the girls would do the same if they were in the same situation.

In any case, the girls from my school also understood that the other girls didn’t have the same privilege as them; having me within their arms’ reach almost every day. That’s why even Satsuki wasn’t being overly obnoxious at her teasing, only turning it into good banter.

Obviously, I focused on them when the call ended. Starting with Satsuki, Aya, Hina and Nami. And ending it with Saki and Chii.

Well, Chii was still rather shy when it comes to the more sexual things but seeing Saki straddle me with our bottom garments down, she went to my side and asked for kisses; lots of kisses. It’s to take her mind away from it.

Although Saki would sometimes ask me to kiss her as well, more than 90% of that time with the two, my lips were monopolized by Chii. In any case, Saki had me down below so she’s not complaining. Besides, Chii was also sometimes glancing at her.

I wanted to introduce her slowly to that kind of thing… However, being together with the girls who already did it with me, Chii was being fast-tracked in that regard…

I asked her if she was fine with it and Chii simply gave me a nod while blushing profusely. She also sweated that somehow ruined her makeup, giving me another glimpse of her natural beauty.

Anyway, with the sixth period ending, it’s time for another Mentor Program.

By the time I arrived at the abandoned clubroom, someone was already there.

“Izumi-senpai…” I smiled at that girl who was waiting with her arms crossed. Although she looked like she was in a bad mood, that quickly changed when I approached her and sat down in front.

“You’re really shameless. Even after yesterday, you’re here.”

“Why won’t I be here? It’s a program decided by the school administration. I don’t want to be marked absent.”

“Is that so? Or are you hoping that Arisa will show up in my stead?”

“Ah. Even though I cannot deny that I also look forward to being with Arisa-senpai, aren’t I smiling at you now? But if senpai doesn’t want me here, you can just say so. Just don’t write me off as a no-show in your report…” I shrugged and acted like I was going to leave.

“Sit down there or I’ll mark you as a no-show.” Izumi-senpai grabbed my wrist, preventing me with her fake-delinquent strength from leaving.

Right. That’s all an act because I knew she wouldn’t let me leave. Apart from wanting to talk about things concerning either Arisa-senpai or Ogawa, the girl had started exhibiting more of her interest in me.
