Stealing Spree

Chapter 84: Appointments

I went straight back to class after leaving that room.

Sakuma is already here as well as Nami and Tadano.

Now I wonder if Sakuma was there the whole time and if he heard us. If he did then why didn't he come in when we're not at the door?

Nami looked at me but didn't say anything, also Tadano, he looked the same but somehow he's not looking at me with hostility anymore. Nami calmed him down. And well, if he decided to fight for his love then that's much better. I'll beat them both.

When I sat back to my seat, Sakuma leaned on the backrest of my chair. His voice sounded normal.

"Did you see Maemura?"

"No. I went upstairs. Why?"

I started thinking about who I will choose as an excuse. Kana, Haruko or Himeko?

"Nothing."

"There you go again. When will you confess to her? It's totally obvious now."

Surprisingly he didn't comment on why I went upstairs. His head is full of Satsuki now and if he really heard us, what's with this lukewarm reaction?

"Next week."

"For real? Why next week?"

Unlike his usual idiotic attitude, this guy sounded serious. Now I'm suspecting he really heard us.

"I have to resolve that thing first."

"Which thing?"

"I told you I can't tell you, it's about us."

"I see. If I can help, just tell me."

Sakuma nodded. He stopped leaning on my chair. His eyes were fixed on the door, waiting for Satsuki to arrive.

Satsuki said she will tell me about that this Sunday but I want to hear it from Sakuma's side as well. I'm really curious about that.

But now with the possibility of him knowing what we're doing behind his back, I don't know if I can still talk normally to him.

The reason why she loves him and his reason for stalling. Something happened between them 4 years ago.

That strange fetish of Satsuki, was there a connection?

"You were with her."

I heard Aya whisper on my side, it's soft enough that only I could hear it. I turned my head to her and nodded.

"C-can we go home together?"

"Sure. But I have somewhere to go first. Can you wait for me?"

A smile blossomed to her face. The thought of going home with me is already enough for her. This cute girl. Maybe we can't do it yet but soon.

"Yes. I'll attend the club too."

"I might not be able to go there. Say hi to Haruko for me."

She nodded as an answer. Yesterday, she got so overwhelmed by our passion that she lost the courage to do it with me but they still get along.

That Haruko. I guess I love her too. The way she helped me satisfy my desire and the other things she has done for me, she already climbed up next to Akane.

Yae as well. I didn't have a lot of chances to see her after our meeting last Sunday but she regularly messages me and I'm replying to her. She seems satisfied with that for now but she always expresses how much she's missing me. Same with Aoi and Ria.

Satsuki showed up minutes before the lunch break ended.

Sakuma didn't say anything. I didn't look back to see his reaction.

I know the reason why she got delayed this long. Well, she washed it away and she checked if I left a mark on her.

In the end, Nami's scent on me was covered by Satsuki's scent. Now that I got a look at her again, I confirmed to myself that I love this foul-mouthed girl. Even if Sakuma starts suspecting now, I won't let her go unless she wants to realize that wish.

The next classes passed by normally and soon the bell indicating the end of the school day rang across the whole School Building.

Sakuma, Satsuki and Aya went to their clubs already. While here I am waiting for Kanzaki's message if that practice is still on.

She went to the faculty because she was tasked by our History Teacher to send the papers we did earlier.

I went out for a bit while Nami followed me. She messaged me earlier about this. She wanted to talk after school.

I brought her to the same empty room earlier. There's a dried mark on the floor near the door. Of course, that was from us.

"You also knew about this room. Hina brought you here."

"Yes. This is where we talked last Monday."

That time when we devised our plan. That schemer is probably having doubts now, Ogawa still hasn't confessed.

"This room is really convenient, we'll have privacy. "

"Is it fine to meet me?"

Nami nodded. There's no chair in this room so we stayed standing. She leaned her back to the wall where Satsuki leaned earlier.

"I told them I'll follow them later to the club."

"I see. What happened after I left?"

I don't know which club they are in. Are they all together? I also need to decide which club I will join this coming Friday.

"I talked to Daiki. He couldn't accept that it's you."

"I know. Did you tell him we're dating?"

"Yes. Then he somehow got influenced by what you said. He confessed to me."

"I see. Then it's fine to hold you like this now."

I stepped closer to her and put my hand on her waist, she pushed me away though.

"This guy, be serious."

"I am. You told him we're dating. We have to act like it."

"Stop for now."

"Alright. So what's your reaction when he confessed?"

Ah. I guess what happened earlier is enough for now. It's not good to force this girl.

"I can't answer him but his confession calmed him down."

"Huh? I don't understand."

Nami's voice trembled a bit. Though she knew Tadano likes her, hearing it from him and the way she can't give him an answer, it affected her.

This is why she's not in the mood.

"When he finished his confession, how he has liked me since our childhood, it's like a huge burden was taken off his shoulder."

"I see. I think I can understand him. He finally put down his feelings and had it thrown to you. It doesn't matter to him if you accepted or not."

Right. That's why he calmed down. Like a fishbone stuck at his throat, it finally got washed away.

"Is that a good thing?"

"I don't know. What's his attitude after that?"

Is she worried that it may affect their friendship?

"He still can't accept you but he's not against it now."

"Then all is well. All that's left is for Ogawa to confess."

That indecisive guy should make his move now. How long will he stall for?

"He told me to walk with him later."

"It's today, then?"

"If all goes well then yes."

"Advance congratulations?"

Ah. Now that I heard it will happen soon. I guess I feel a little bitter, I'll make sure to steal Nami away from him.

"This guy… Alright. I have to go."

"Alright. See you tomorrow, Nami."

She didn't comment any further and I didn't hold her off any longer. After saying our goodbyes, we both left the room.

Kanzaki was back from the faculty when I went back to the classroom.

She walked towards me when she saw me.

Kissing lesson eh? How can I teach her through words?

I looked around and there's no other guy in the classroom. Her boyfriend is not here. Do they really only meet outside or he's not from our class? The rumors must be false, right?

"Let's go?"

She fixed her glasses while hugging her bag in front of her.

I nodded at her and she walked out first.

The Library isn't located in any of the three buildings that can be seen from the front. It is located as a lone structure just behind the Administration Building.

It only has two floors but it's big enough to house thousands of books.

This is the first time I will visit this place.

When we entered the Library, we were met by a spacious hall, there was a series of desks at my right which were manned by the School Librarians.

Students can apply to be one but the school hired actual librarians who can manage this big library.

The librarians don't bother us when we pass by them. They will only bother us if we're noisy, we're borrowing a book or returning one.

Kanzaki led me to a corner where tables and chairs for students' usage are located.

She chose somewhere there's no one around.

Well, most students here choose somewhere quiet where they can have privacy. A librarian or two patrols the area as a precaution for students trying to do something funny here.

We sat down face to face with each other. She brought out a notebook, maybe to jot down what she will learn from me?

But I still don't know what to teach this girl. What kind of kiss does she want to learn? When kissing, I don't think about trivial things such as how to do it better, you get better if you do it a lot, you know?

"Uhm. Shall we start?"

"Wait. Let me be clear for a second, what are we doing here again?"

"You'll teach me how to do our first kiss perfectly?"

"Are you sure that's a topic to be tackled inside the library?"

I'm wondering about this. How can I make a move on her if we keep doing her lessons here?

"I don't know any other place. We just have to keep our voices down. And in here, you can't think of anything funny."

"Huh? So you think I'll do something to you."

"It doesn't hurt to be cautious."

"Right. I guess I look like a bad guy to you."

As I thought, this is the reason. Well, I'm already here. Might as well help a classmate once in a while? I'll think of better ways on how to steal her.
