Stealing Spree

“Please do not forget to contact me at least once a day, my lady. I will have no excuse for your parents if they discover that I permitted you to be alone with a boy. My job will be on the line if that happens.” The woman in housekeeper uniform reminded Miho after dropping us off in front of our house.

“Yes, I will. Do not worry.” Miho answered casually. “I will return on Friday before mom and dad return. Ruki will be sending me home by then. can pick up my luggage by then and Ruki will be sending me home.”

Starting from the introduction to the woman’s compliance to drive us here, Miho took the helm of the conversation. My only contribution there was to greet her amiably and carry Miho’s luggage to the trunk of the car.

I did ask her about it. However, Miho oversimplified it by saying that the woman is their employee and she will comply no matter what she says, regardless of who’s paying her salary.

Honestly, I have nothing against Miho acting a little bossy to the woman named Vivian – possibly not her real name, she’s not a foreigner. My girls have different circumstances and it’s not up to me to judge them. Maybe that’s something normal for her. As she said, she’s an employee.

The woman also acted subserviently without any complaints. Apart from the initial confusion when it was a boy who showed up instead of what she was expecting, nothing else stood out.

Well, if the concerned look counts then that’s the only thing noteworthy. Perhaps she’s truly concerned towards Miho but as a simple employee for the family, she couldn’t voice out what’s inside her mind. If anything, she could tell Miho’s parents about what happened. However, with Miho reminding her not to as well as the possibility that she could be blamed for it, she was surely going to comply with it.

Uh. That possibility was just my assumption. Who knows what’s going on in her head?

One thing though… It’s clearly different from how Otoha and Mizuki treated their chauffeurs; Hitomi and Suzuki-san.

In any case, with Miho reverting to the affectionate girl when we settled at the back of the car, it proved that the girl found nothing wrong with it.

Each of us has different circumstances… so it’s not that surprising. In fact, it was Otoha and Mizuki’s behavior that could be seen as weird by most people of the same standing as them.

Besides, Miho was a previously prideful girl. She’s someone truly hard to approach because of how she acted. Even when I was trying to steal her, she used to look down on me and even threatened to report me to the school administration when I tried switching my approach to be as close to her as possible or make a pass by slinging my arms across her shoulders as well as pulling her close to me. Furthermore, despite my numerous attempts to break her appeal to her, she remained adamant about it.

That’s why I deemed her conquest to be the hardest.

As a prodigy, what Miho previously values the highest is her talent and the fact that she’s superior to most people. She’s the type of girl who will not bother looking at you just because you cannot catch up to her.

That’s why although unusual, seeing her being that commanding towards their housekeeper wasn’t new to my eyes.

Obviously, if she acted the same to the other girls, that’s when I would step in. Fortunately, she’s not like that. From how I see it, she’s already treating them as equals and fellow sisters.

Back when we reconnected, her new wish was to continue being in my heart and mind. And that still holds true to this day.

A while later, after settling in the house and taking a bath together, we’re now inside the bedroom.

As always, I was sandwiched between the two girls. Akane on my right and Miho on my left.

Well, Miho was more daring tonight though. This was our first night together after I rejected her before. Her happiness and satisfaction were both over the roof.

Akane even thought she was also trying to compete like Yue and Shizu if not for the girl considerately limiting herself.

“Miho, it’s fine, you know? You don’t have to hold back when it comes to husband. We’re both this guy’s girlfriend.” Akane opened up the conversation once they both settled down comfortably.

“I know. But I have three days here. There’s no reason for me to be overly clingy. Ruki will be the one acting like that anyways… Bringing me to the bath right away… how bold.” The girl triumphantly smirked but the way she energetically said that also showed how happy she is.

“Will you blame me? We’re conserving water.” I joked.

“Yeah, right, we are.” Miho endearingly squeezed my cheeks between her palms and planted another sweet, intoxicating kiss.

I accepted that, naturally. The matter of her housekeeper and the way Miho acted around her was already thrown to the back of my mind.

Joining the fray, Akane also indulged me with kisses and caresses which once again turned our situation into another round of bed exercise, sweating right away after we had just taken a bath.

Because we’re now in our own private space, the girl’s affection and everything she bottled up all poured towards me, overwhelming even Akane.

She had just said that she wouldn’t act overly clingy but that’s what happened minutes after that.

Not that I was complaining. I love satisfying them anyway and at the same time, they’re surely experts on satisfying me.

Anyway, although we were exhausted when we finished… we still got the time to talk before fully succumbing to sleep.

There’s just a lot to talk about. A lot of things happened, after all.

Yue’s return to Tokyo tomorrow, Hana’s reappearance and the mystery of who gave her my contacts as well as our confrontation with Yue’s manager.

“It’s surprising that you’re just going to let her go like that, Ruki. The past you cannot be compared anymore.” Miho commented after I finished telling them the result of that talk with Miss Manager.

“Whether it’s the past or the present. Both are still me. Anyway, we’re all growing up, aren’t we? You two might also join her. With that song you’re trying to produce.”

“We’re not going to. No way I will leave the comfort of your side, husband. My place is here. Supporting you until we reach our goals… The song is something we’ll dedicate to you. That’s enough.”

“I agree. I only brought an electronic keyboard but it’ll be sufficient to draft a melody. I’ll work on it when I return.”

Right. One of the boxes she brought contained a keyboard. We couldn’t bring her piano here, after all. Unless I also buy one for her and place it somewhere inside. But that’s still something I couldn’t afford.

“I see. Now I’m getting more excited to hear it. Miho, you’re going to sing too.”

This time, it’s my turn to smirk at the girl which instantly made her flustered.

“W-wha? No… I’m not… great at that. It’s enough that I compose.”

“No. We three are going to sing. No exception.”

Akane backed me up there, cornering my precious pianist girl to be even more flustered.

“Ugh. One line! I’ll only sing one line.” Finding it hard to refute, the girl settled on a condition. And seeing her succumbing like that, Akane and I laughed at how adorable the girl became.

Eventually, we moved on to different topics and enjoyed the time more until the two girls fell asleep at almost the same time.

We didn’t talk about Hana too much. Or rather, the two never brought her up and when I did so, they quickly diverted the topic.

I guess no matter what I say or what they decide to do, Hana’s declaration is still a threat to all of them…

I wonder what happened to that girl? I have to admit. I’m intrigued by her sudden reappearance… If not for my girls occupying my mind, I would possibly be thinking about that girl… I could vaguely remember that the smile she was showing to me was entirely different from the one the others get. And judging from the emotion that I could now name compared to before, Hana’s smile was definitely comforting for me…

Ah… Look at this, I’m thinking about her again…
