Chapter 1089 Turning the tables on me.... Again

“See you tomorrow, Ayu.” Before stepping out of her office, I glanced back at the charming woman, catching her affectionate smile one last time today.

Although I got to see her in a vulnerable state earlier, even catching a glimpse of what she’s hiding beneath that tight sports bra, being the recipient of this lovely gesture was more than enough to push away the lingering perverted desire from earlier.

Furthermore, with her permission, I changed the way I called her. Dropping the ‘Coach’ and just sticking to her nickname made us feel even closer to each other. And in turn, Ayu also changed the way she called me.

“Geez, it seems you’re getting the hang of calling me like that, Ru-kun.” ????????????????????????????. C????ｍ

“Of course, I am. Though I will probably miss calling you ‘Coach’ and seeing you as our older sister.”

“Us getting closer doesn’t mean those also need to disappear, right? I’m still Sena’s coach and a sister for both of you.”

“Mhm. You’re right. I look forward to more days with you, Ayu.” ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

“I’m aware that this thing with you is wrong but… I can’t lie. I’m also looking forward to it, Ru-kun.” While sporting a clear blush on her cheeks, Ayu coolly nodded her head.

Following that, I watched her stand up from her seat to approach me. It’s easy to guess what’s going to happen so… I closed the door first and waited for her.

As soon as she entered my arm’s reach, I pulled her in my embrace, our lips finding each other right away.

With this, our time for today ended in a satisfying way. And instead of staying behind her office, we went outside together. She already calmed down, so she no longer needs to hide there. She still had work to do, after all.

Meeting up with Sena, Akane, and the other girls, I brought them all to the nearby shopping district. Although not in my plan initially, I decided to use some of my savings to treat them to something.

My salary for today came out a lot higher than I expected. Apparently, some of the mothers gave it to me as a bonus and Ayu told me that I should expect more tomorrow. The rest of them got influenced by the others and pledged to bring me presents tomorrow as a show of gratitude to me for the program.

Really, I had no idea that it would lead to this when I accepted the part-time job. To think that they would be that generous… I was speechless when Ayu told me about that earlier.

Furthermore, because they didn’t hand it to me personally, it was impossible for me to refuse. And if I approach them tomorrow to return it, it would turn into a more embarrassing situation. Not for me, but them…

That’s why rather than doing that, I came to accept it and just prepared myself to show them my gratitude tomorrow.

Anyway, I also thought of buying the girls more presents. To let them choose. However, they shut me down even before I raised it to them as we walked through that busy district after we left the restaurant.

Moreover, I got lectured to save it or buy something for myself instead. And when they finished lecturing me, I got dragged around by them around that shopping district…

What for?

The girls bought presents for me… The same as how I bought them presents the last time, they all took their time to choose something they would give me. And for that, they took their turns dragging me to different stores.

In short, the table was turned on me by my lovely girlfriends.

By the time we reached a somewhat deserted park where we could rest before we prepared to go home, I got four bags filled with what they bought for me. Furthermore, the girls were still looking unsatisfied.

“Why limit our spending, Ruki? I can buy you a better present if you allow me to.”

That’s Miho, she currently had her arms crossed while her cheeks puffed up adorably. Clutched between her fingers is a credit card that probably has a high credit limit.

“No… Your parents will see your spending, right? Also, I’m satisfied enough with what you bought for me… You gave it a lot of thought. That’s enough.”

Well, as someone from a rich family, even if she’s not earning for herself yet, her allowance must be higher than what I’m earning currently. Even back when I stole her, I also got treated by her to fine dining and other expensive things whenever we’re going out.

Now that I think about it… That’s kind of lame, right? I stole her from her boyfriend and made her mine but she’s the one spending it for us. That’s also the case with Mizuki and Otoha.

In any case, I remembered that I told them not to do that but there were always instances when it was unavoidable.

After thinking for a while, Miho retorted, “But you let Mizuki give you that condo unit. What’s a branded set of clothes that only cost around five digits? It pales compared to how expensive that condo is.”

This girl, I knew she wouldn’t just accept that explanation… She even mentioned something that was on another scale.

Hearing that, the other girls were all stealthily giggling at me. Perhaps they’re thinking that I got no words to deflect that.

Too bad for them, I was ready for it.

With my lips curving up into a smirk, I checked our surroundings first and after confirming that there was no one nearby to see us, I dropped the bags to the side and grabbed the girl, putting her down on my lap.

While she’s still in the process of wondering why I did that, I placed my hand on her head and patted it a few times before saying, “You know, Miho, this and that are different. That unit is something for our future. A little part of the foundation we are trying to build. In this case, however, there’s no point buying it when we can find cheaper alternatives. Besides, I’m more than satisfied with everything you bought for me… I’ll be sure to use all of them.”

“There goes sweetie with his glib tongue.” Yae instantly reacted. And the other girls followed. Taking a jab at me.

“In short, Ruki doesn’t want us to spend a lot, at this point in time, on material things. We’re all students and don't have that much of an income yet.” Miyako also offered her insight before looking at the girl on my lap, “I’m certain Miho here will be spending her own money – from allowances or some other source – and she won’t bat an eye spending a lot for him. However, you should try and think in his shoes. Will you be happy if Ruki used everything he has to buy you luxurious things?”

Alright. Although that’s not really a direct comparison to what Miho wanted to do, it’s close to it.

And that’s enough for the girl to fall into contemplation, digesting it. Moments later, she raised her head to look at me. She’s biting her lips as a helpless expression slowly occupied her face.

Faced with that kind of expression, my protective instinct kicked in instantly. After wrapping my arms around her and comforting her by rubbing her back, I then whispered, “Don’t overthink it. Remember that phrase? It is the thought that counts… In this particular situation, Miyako’s words are correct. I’m not limiting your freedom to decide, I just want us to be a little responsible, hmm?”

“Y-yes…” Miho replied, her voice a little muffled due to her current position; snuggled in my embrace.

With this, the issue was settled successfully and the girls who also thought they could’ve used more money to buy a present for me dropped the notion.

They eventually crowded around me, their expressions saying the same thing. They also desired to be pampered by me. The same way I did to Miho.

In any case, since we’re somewhere without any nuisance and we still have a bit of time to spare before we separate for the day… I made sure to give them my time and attention. I love all of them. There’s no skipping someone when it comes to my girls…

Actually, the thought of bringing them all to that unit passed by my mind… That way, I could be with all of them, setting aside the need to use a motel or hotel room with this crowd. However, it’s probably a bad idea when everyone’s unprepared for it.

Furthermore, there were other issues we had to settle before using that place.

Maybe in the near future, we could plan for it.

Anyway, when I raised that idea while we’re our way to walk Sena to her house, I easily got positive reactions from them… Well, that’s natural, right?

Each one of my girls wanted more time with me. Any proposed method to get that would always receive positive reception from them.
