Stealing Spree

The identity of the woman who somehow interrupted us was none other than... Ogawa’s older sister.

Given that she directly came from the Ogawa household and how Hina called her ‘Kazuha-nee’, that’s the only possible explanation.

Moreover, Kazuo and Kazuha were similar. And this wasn’t the first time hearing about his sister. Hina already talked about her. She knocked on their door to ask for medicine for the coward when he skipped school.

Considering Ogawa was that handsome of a guy, even though I could only vaguely see her face due to the lack of light, just by her silhouette that totally highlighted her superb curves; wide hips, narrow waist, supple legs as well as her well-endowed front that was accentuated due to how she had her arms crossed, she had a smoking hot young adult figure.

Even if I didn’t want to admit it, my Shio might even lose to her when it comes to her sexy figure.

And considering how handsome that coward is... this older sister of hers who seemed to be in her early twenties is most likely a total beauty.

Uhh... My perversion couldn’t contain itself again... Just her silhouette was enough to elicit this kind of reaction to me...

Fortunately, all of this was in my head. I still had Hina in my arms and although we were interrupted, there’s no way I would pull away from her.

In fact, this could be a chance for her to enact that revenge on him. Showing that she had already moved on from Ogawa, this sister of that coward would surely rely on what she witnessed.

“Uhm... I’m sorry but please don’t take it on Hina. I’m the one bold enough to ask her for a kiss at this time.”

“Hmm? Are you Hina-chan’s boyfriend?”

Although I could only see the glint in her eyes, I felt how she scanned me from bottom to top.

Perhaps if I say something wrong here, I would be condemned by her.

“Yes. I apologize for the shameful display.” I slightly lowered my head to show sincerity.

At my side, Hina was holding tightly on my hand. Somehow, despite her wish to show Ogawa our relationship, she’s being nervous around this sister of his.

“There’s no need to apologize. You’re in front of their house, not ours. But if I can give a comment. Can you hold back a bit? You two are in public.” The woman scoffed slightly. She tightened her crossed arms making that bountiful front of hers jiggle slightly.

And upon seeing that, I restrained my eyes from focusing on that part of hers and kept it above her neck.

Perhaps seeing how I reacted, she snickered.

“I will take that to mind. Actually, I lost control of myself. My girlfriend is this beautiful.” Ignoring that laugh of hers, I continued with a polite tone while lowkey bragging about Hina.

And surprisingly, her snickers transformed into chuckles which she immediately reeled in before responding in a serious tone once more.

“Mhm... She truly is. But be considerate. Saki is here as well. Do you have to show her how intimate you are to each other?”

Ah. That’s right... Saki’s not that far from us and given that she’s among their circle of friends, she surely met his sister already.

“Uh... H-hello Kazuha-nee. I don’t mind it. I turned around to not see it.”

Since she was addressed, Saki stepped forward and greeted her.

“Even so... they should’ve exercised restraint, no? By the way, why are you still here at this time?”

With a hint of suspicion in her voice, her gaze alternated between the three of us.

Because she’s addressing that question to Saki, I had no way to get in the way and answer it myself.

Fortunately, Saki thought of a plausible excuse that deserved praise.

“Uhm... I helped him find his way to meet Hina... I am already on my way home after this.”

Ogawa’s sister contemplated for a while, weighing if what Saki said was true or not. In the end, she shrugged and concluded it was true. “Hmm... Alright then. But still... I just can’t believe it. Our little Hina finally got herself a boyfriend... You didn’t trick her, did you?”

“Honestly, I probably did... After I was rejected, I tried acting like nothing happened to get her attention. Thankfully, it succeeded.”

And like I always do, answering honestly will always be more believable than crafting a bad lie. If my strategy to get her attention back to me was called tricking her... then so be it.

Upon hearing that, Hina pinched my hand and stifled a laugh. Perhaps remembering that it was exactly what happened between us.

Ogawa’s sister flashed a smile or rather, she couldn’t help her lips to curve up into a restrained smile.

She probably didn’t want to laugh again but hearing my answer and Hina’s reaction, that’s the best she could do.

“You sly boy. What’s your name?”

“I’m Onoda... Onoda Ruki.”

Now that she asked for my name, this was already an indication that whatever suspicion she had... it was already down the drains.

She witnessed how intimate we were after all. The only wrong thing here that made her suspicious was Saki’s existence. Thankfully, the girl excellently made an excuse.

“Mhm... I’ll remember your name. If you ever hurt our Hina... every resident of this street will hunt you down.”

“Isn’t that excessive?”

“I don’t think so. We’re all like a family here. So expect that kind of retaliation.”

Hina’s not joking. They’re really a close neighborhood here. And if she’s confidently declaring that, Ogawa’s sister had the ability to make that happen.

“... I’ll keep that in mind. I assure you. I’ll take care of Hina. If I ever hurt her, I’ll surrender myself to onee-san and let you deliver my punishment.”

I straightened my back and bravely declared. However, that last phrase was almost a whisper.

At this point, her crossed arms loosened as she hurriedly covered her mouth.

Nonetheless, the way her shoulder shook and how she held her navel was a clear indication of how she’s about to lose it. She’s doing her best not to laugh too hard.

After a minute or two, she stood up straight and avoided my gaze.

“Hey, Hina-chan, is this how he really is? What a dangerous tongue.”

“Un. I got taken in by that tongue of his, Kazuha-nee. But... that’s not all that he is...” While saying that, Hina lovingly gazed at me and if not for Ogawa’s sister, she probably jumped and kissed me again.

“I see. Our little Hina is totally in love. Good thing for you. That idiot little brother is too hard-headed. Oh... did you know? Hina is chasing after my little brother. Alas, he’s too lovestruck to someone else.”

“I am aware. We’re classmates.”

Perhaps she’s trying to break my confidence but if it’s just Ogawa... he’s not worth mentioning. This sister of his would be thrilled if she found out how I stole not only Hina but also the girl he’s lovestruck with.

Obviously, I would keep that a secret. Unless... Ogawa told her that himself. That’s akin to announcing how he was cucked not just once but twice.

“Oh... So that’s why... Great. Well then, stop with the PDA and go home. There’s still tomorrow and more days to come. Don’t be taken in by your impulsiveness as an adolescent.”

“We understand. Thank you for the reminder onee-san.” In place of the two, I bowed my head again and addressed her even more respectfully.

“Stop with that. Call me Kazuha-nee like them. You impressed me, good for you.”

After saying that, she turned around and began walking away – in the opposite direction from where we came in.

Hina and Saki bid her farewell which she answered by just raising her hand and waving it. And soon after that, I followed by calling her like how she wanted me to call her before bidding her farewell as well.

Luckily, she’s not as unreasonable as Ogawa. We managed to talk our way out. Furthermore, she even bought the excuse Saki promptly made on the spot.

We watched until she disappeared to the adjacent street before heaving a sigh of relief.

Hina almost lost strength in her legs again. Fortunately, I was next to her so she just held on tightly.

After calming her down and... reviewing what happened, we both turned to Saki and praised her for the great save.

Since we already spent a lot of time outside her house, Hina eventually entered and kissed me goodnight. The previous weakness she felt suddenly transformed into excitement as she happily took the few steps towards their front door.

Before entering it, Hina cutely waved her hand.

Watching her acting like that naturally brought a smile to my face... Perhaps due to what happened, even if she still had some reservations about our relationship, that was all erased now. Introducing me as a boyfriend to Ogawa’s sister, she’s most likely thrilled at the idea of Ogawa hearing it.

That older sister of his was close to him after all. There’s no way she wouldn’t bring him that kind of news. She’s also aware of Hina’s infatuation with Ogawa but she’s more relieved that Hina found another guy now.

This wasn’t a wild guess... she’s also aware of how Ogawa was ignoring Hina’s advances. She probably also found him hopeless at this point.

With only Saki left at my side, we returned to the same direction we came from before Saki began leading the way to her house.

Once I deemed that we’re already far enough from Hina’s street, I stepped forward and began walking to Saki’s side, clasping her hand on mine...
