Stealing Spree

Chapter 151: Namiʼs Answer

”What the hell are you talking about? Are you crazy?!”

Shizu-senpai reflexively stepped back from us but that only made her tumble down.

”You wanted to know, right? Iʼm afraid thatʼs the only way for him to trust you, Shizu-nee.”

Nami went over her and helped her stand up. Since she started it, Iʼll watch for now. Taking Shizu-senpai as my woman. Though it sounds serious, itʼs meant to scare her.

”Why does it involve becoming his woman?”

Shizu-senpai took Namiʼs hand and stood up. Though she tumbled down from her surprise, she recovered immediately when Nami went to help her.

”Youʼll know when you become one.”

Since Nami couldnʼt explain it properly, I need to step up and help her.

”Shizu-senpai, I really wanted to trust you. Wonʼt you give me a chance?”

I asked her.

Shizu-senpaiʼs head turned to me when she heard my voice.

”I donʼt understand your thought process Onoda-kun. And you even influenced Nanami. Why do I need to become your woman? Is that what you are? A playboy?”

Ah. She also recovered her clarity, it seems. However, this is the ideal scenario. I want her to question it.

”Like Nami said, unless you become my woman, you wouldnʼt get why even after showing Nami that picture, she still wanted to stay with me.”

I explained to her.

Though in actuality, Nami is technically still not mine. Weʼre still in our ʼstolen timeʼ. But Shizu-senpai was determined to break us up so we have no choice but to do this. For her to stop.

”Nanami, what did he do to you? Is he blackmailing you? Tell me. Iʼll do everything to kick him out of this school.”

Shizu-senpai ignored me and turned to Nami instead.

”No, Shizu-nee. Ruu truly likes me, you should stop accusing him of things he didnʼt do. The only thing he did to me is…”

Nami trailed her voice as her gaze switched back to me.

”…making me fall in love with him.”

Completing her sentence, Namiʼs face blushed as she shyly covered it with her hands.

This girl, is this her confessing to me?

Seeing that display of affection by Nami, Shizu-senpai was stumped. Just from her reaction, itʼs hard not to determine if Nami is telling the truth.

”Really, what kind of man is he? I still remember how you talked about Kazuo. Now, youʼre completely in love with this dubious guy.”

Shizu-senpai put a hand on her forehead.

Because of his indecisiveness, Iʼve already replaced him in her heart. No wonder she will stop talking about him.

”Youʼll know if you spend time with him, Shizu-nee. Because your impression of him is bad, you started thinking that everything he does is bad. Thatʼs called prejudice. You never even wanted to hear him out, right?”

Nami slowly explained to Shizu-senpai. Honestly, Iʼm amazed that she clearly understood whatʼs really going on in Shizu-senpaiʼs mind.

Itʼs true, sheʼs too prejudiced when it comes to me. I suddenly showed up as Namiʼs boyfriend. I talked back to her during that time and took Nami away without us getting into an understanding. Then two days later, she found me taking Satsuki out of school. Of course, she judged that Iʼm just a bastard thatʼs taking advantage of Nami.

Though I really am one, she thought that Iʼm tricking Nami and thatʼs why she wanted to break us apart. Thatʼs what led us here.

”I… Youʼre right. I never wanted to hear his side. I just want him to leave your side. You really changed, Nanami and heʼs clearly the reason. I thought his influence is turning you bad so…”

Looking at her like this, her words were really full of concern towards Nami. Sheʼs really amazing in that regard. What made her want to protect Nami like that?

”Thank you Shizu-nee. Your promise to protect me from anything that will hurt me, youʼre already doing that for how many years already? But this time, Ruu is not hurting me. In fact, heʼs treating me as someone really special to him.”

Nami held out her hand to me, asking me to come near them.

I nodded and took her hand and when I did, Nami pulled me in and hugged me in front of Shizu-senpai.

”I get it, Nanami. Letʼs say youʼre truly in love with him and he didnʼt trick you. But how can he explain his relationship towards that girl?”

Though she directed the question to Nami, Shizu-senpai was looking straight at me.

Nami looked up as if asking if we should tell her now but I shook my head as an answer.

If I tell her that Iʼm also in a relationship with Satsuki, everything we just explained will flip her view back to the opposite side. We need to prepare her mind first so she will accept it without adding more questions.

”Let me spend some time with you, Shizu-senpai. That way, we can reach an understanding between us.”

Without Nami answering her question, I opened my mouth and told her whatʼs on my mind. To spend some time with her. If she kept on her prejudiced view of me then we will really never understand each other.

”So, in the end, you still want me to become your woman? Are you still not content with Nanami and the other girl?”

Shizu-senpai scoffed at my words, thinking thatʼs what I am aiming at for asking to spend some time with her.

”Itʼs not that. I just wanted you to know who I really am. I will never hurt Nami, I can assure you of that. Iʼll never hurt someone I love.”

Turning the like to love, I saw Nami smiling when she heard me saying that. We really just need to clear up my past for her to decide whether she wanted to stay with me or not.

After calming Shizu-senpai down where she wonʼt meddle with us anymore, Iʼll immediately tell Nami about my past and take her as mine.

”…Nanami, what do you think?”

Shizu-senpai pondered over my answer and when she couldnʼt find the words to answer me back, she turned to Nami.

”Spend time with him Shizu-nee, heʼs not really bad like what you are thinking.”

Nami answered her. For her, she probably also wants Shizu-senpai to understand our relationship and to not be against it.

”Then tell me one thing first and Iʼll agree to give him a chance by spending some time with him.”

I see. She still wanted to know about Satsuki. I guess itʼs fine to tell her about it now.

”Alright. What do you want to know, Shizu-senpai? I promise Iʼll answer it truthfully.”

Though I already know what she will ask, hearing me agreeing to it and promising I will answer truthfully will give a better effect.

”That basketball club girl, whatʼs your real relationship with her?”

”The same as Nami, sheʼs a girl I love.”

Without hesitation, I gave her the answer sheʼs probably waiting to hear.

”So that means, youʼre admitting youʼre two-timing them?”

No. Really, thereʼs not only two but I guess this is enough for now. Sheʼll truly break if she finds out that thereʼs more than 10 of them already.

”I wouldnʼt call it two-timing but I guess thatʼs what it looked like in the eyes of normal people. As you can see, Nami isnʼt against it. She knew that when Iʼm with her, she is my only focus.”

”So, are you saying youʼre not normal?”

Of course, Iʼm not normal. Who would admit at two-timing in front of his girlfriendʼs older sister while his girlfriend is also beside him watching the interrogation?

”Yes. Iʼm not. However, my feelings towards Nami, itʼs all true.”

If sheʼs still not convinced by this, then I donʼt know what I will do with this girl…

”Alright. You answered me honestly. If I back out from what I said then I shouldnʼt be the president anymore. Spending time to know who you really are, Iʼll do it.”

Shizu-senpai nodded and accepted the proposal of my spending time with her. At least sheʼs true to her words. Iʼm getting more fond of her this way.

”Thank you Shizu-nee!”

Nami was overjoyed when Shizu-senpai finally accepted. She immediately went over and hugged her, like a little sister to her older sister.

”Thank you, senpai. Iʼm looking forward to spending time with you.”

I honestly thanked her. Well, Iʼm already thinking of other ways if she still wonʼt bend.

”Donʼt be too happy yet, Iʼll take you to the student council as my secretary. As you can see, I donʼt really have much time, so this spending time youʼre saying will be done there.”

Ah. Student Council again. I remembered Haruko from it.

”No problem, as long as I can prove to you that Iʼm someone you can trust with Nami.”

And maybe take her for me as well? I donʼt know. Weʼll see. As long as weʼre alone, I can slowly understand this overprotective girl.

”Iʼll expect you tomorrow. Skip your club and go to the Student Council Room.”

I guess Iʼll excuse myself to the club for two days. Err, Iʼll drop by later to see their state at least.

”Yes, senpai.”

I smiled at her but Shizu-senpai didnʼt have any reaction to it. I guess thatʼs fair.

”One thing though. Earlier, Nami, you told me to become his woman. Are you serious about that? Me, sharing this guy with you?”

That wonʼt be bad, to be honest. But yeah, those words were just used as a foundation for us to reach this point. I wouldnʼt mind it if she accepted though.

”Yes, Shizu-nee. I donʼt mind if you also fall for him.”

Err… Nami. I thought youʼre just playing along with me.

”Really... Haa, Iʼll pretend I didnʼt hear that. Iʼll leave you two alone now and I promise Iʼll stop meddling, you can rest assured.”

Shizu-senpai released a sigh and finally accepted our relationship.

”Shizu-senpai. Thank you.”

”Ugh. Donʼt thank me yet, Iʼm going to evaluate you again after our agreement. For the meantime, if you hurt Nanami, you know who you will fight against.”

Fighting her? I wouldnʼt be afraid of it but yeah, it wonʼt happen.

”You can trust me on Nami, I really love this girl.”𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Shizu-senpai didnʼt respond again and just closed the door after leaving the room.

”Ruu…”

As soon as Shizu-senpai left, Nami called out to me.

I turned around and pulled her closer to me. Without exchanging any words, I embraced her and kissed her lips.

From how she called out to me, I already expected what she wanted to ask. Iʼll better show it to her first so that she will understand that Iʼm serious.

From just overlapping our lips together, I became bolder and sucked on her lower lips. After our previous kisses, Nami is starting to be experienced now, she also started sucking and soon, our tongue met each other and entangled themselves.

From where we are, I slowly moved us back to our chair. After putting her on my lap, we resumed our passionate kiss.

”Did I answer what youʼre about to ask?”

Sheʼs about to ask me if what I said about loving her is true. So thereʼs that. I conveyed it to her through our kiss.

”... Yes. I love you, Ruu.”

Nami visibly blushed before whispering those words to me, with the same amount of affection that I showed her.

”What about Ogawa?”

”Donʼt talk about him. He still thinks weʼre acting so…”

Ah. Maybe she still doesnʼt want to deal with him for now but there will come a time where we will tell him that the act became real without him knowing when.

”Youʼre right, itʼs not the right time yet. Now that weʼve dealt with Shizu-senpai, will you hear me out?”

Nami nodded as she circled her arms around my neck. This lovely girl became more beautiful now that she admitted her true feelings for me.

Maybe I can expect the scary observer girl again. These past few days, her feelings were a bit jumbled that she was somehow not acting as herself. She stopped observing people as she became more concerned about her own state.

Telling her about my past until my present with her. Nami listened intently. She will sometimes ask me things that she couldnʼt understand or things she was curious about.

When I finished my story, the lunch break was already about to end. Nami now looked at me in a different light.

”I didnʼt think it was that bad but thank you for being honest with me, Ruu. Truthfully, you donʼt have any of the traces of what you were before. I fell in love with the you here, not the you of the past. Though you couldnʼt erase any of it, you already stopped doing those things, right?”

Nami gave me her honest evaluation of my past that I just told her. And from the way she said it, it didnʼt bother her that much as sheʼs looking at the me right now and not the me of the past.

”Un. I started changing upon becoming a high schooler and honestly, I couldnʼt do it without your help. You and the other girls helped me to become like this now.”

Starting with Kana, then that incident with Yae, Akane barging in my room, and then Satsuki which led me to the realization. Nami also helped me when I was a little lost after remembering this emotion, everything was really built up by them. Without their help, Iʼll still be that guy driven only by his desire.

”You told me to choose if I will stay or not. I donʼt need to answer that anymore. Iʼve already chosen my answer even before this.”

Nami took the initiative to kiss me this time and before the lunch break ended, we spent the remaining time making out in this empty clubroom.

Nami, sheʼs mine now.
