Stealing Spree

Chapter 487: Milktea Shop

Because the concert still hasn’t started yet, there was no influx of passengers going home.

Due to that, my return trip went smoothly that most of my time sitting on the train was spent chatting with Akane, Yae and the other girls who told me that they’re already waiting near the Boxing Gym.

Almost all of my girls were asking about my date with Himeko. Unbeknownst to me, Himeko would occasionally send a photo in their group to show the progress of our date.

From the park, the hot pot restaurant, the shrine, the bus and lastly the theater hall.

They were also aware of that host club guy giving me the calling card for their host club or even how Itou asked me to hold her hand.

Perhaps the only thing that wasn’t publicized in that group was our sweet time inside that public bathroom.

I was left unsatisfied but it’s not like I wouldn’t be able to restrain myself like yesterday. Besides, I’ve already done it three times since this morning. Twice with Akane and once with Yae.

They’re just that irresistible.

Since I would go straight to the Boxing Gym, the train ride lasted for more than an hour. By the time I arrived at the station, all of them were already gathered in one particular spot. A nearby milk tea shop.

Even from afar, the buzz that the girls created just by gathering there was enough for every passerby or every other male customer to turn their heads to them.

With Akane and Yae at the helm, the other girls also wouldn’t lose when it comes to attracting attention.

There’s Elizabeth and her shenanigans. She never missed wearing that crown of hers. Perhaps if Yukari didn’t remind her, she would be wearing a one-piece dress that was reminiscent of a gown today.

Who would go to a boxing lesson in that kind of attire? Only Elizabeth.

That was if she was allowed to do so.

I thought these two would come tomorrow but Elizabeth being Elizabeth, I heard from Yukari word for word what Elizabeth told her as an excuse.

It goes by… ‘Yukari… This curse my Dark Prince cast upon me is on the verge of weakening! Waiting for the morrow will only worsen this. I must… I must see him once more!’

As soon as I stepped inside that milk tea shop, the first to notice me was Akane followed by Yae, Sena, Yukari, Elizabeth, Miho, Yua and Aika.

All of them were still in their casual attires except Elizabeth who was already on her blue tracksuit. Nonetheless, they all carry a small cloth bag that was placed beside them containing what they would wear later.

Eimi already told me that she wouldn’t be able to come. Her parents arrived home and they’re about to go out for a little outing along with that cousin of hers. Nonetheless, she told me that she would be coming tomorrow instead. At the private session that I would conduct for the other girls that werenʼt here today.

It’s only a small milk tea shop, that’s why they’re already occupying more than half of the available seats.

However, even if they didn’t buy from them, I doubt they would be shooed away. Just looking at the long line of men buying milk tea from this shop just to have an excuse to admire them, this establishment’s income for today would probably triple that of yesterday.

Ignoring that line of men, my feet led me to where the girls were and although I heard some of those guys trying to stop me from approaching the girls, my feet never faltered.

As if they already talked about it, only one girl stood up from all of them, Akane.

Since this neighborhood would also be filled with students from their school, there’s no way that they wouldn’t recognize these girls.

That’s why they deliberated whether they should let Akane or Sena take the role of being my girlfriend in public.

In the end, they settled on Akane, my relationship with Sena was only known inside that Boxing Gym after all. Besides, this place was a distance away from it.

Moreover, when my part-time job starts, my relationship with them will be hidden and they will just be the same as the others who will enroll in it.

Nonetheless, I doubt I will not give them any special treatment. They’re my girls after all.

“Ruki… Here’s your bag.” Akane walked towards me and under the envious eyes of the men behind me, she tiptoed to kiss me in public before raising my bag which contained my clothes.

If they’re watching closely then they would also notice the envious expression of the other girls behind Akane. Those girls also wanted to run to my side and do the same thing Akane did.

Even if that’s what I also wanted to do, we had to restrict ourselves. We better go to a private place first.

When I joined them at their table, those guys that were still enviously looking at the girls began some kind of discussion.

“Damn it. She’s already taken!” One guy near the back of the line exclaimed.

“There’s still the others. Why don’t we try talking to them?”

And the one next to him added.

They really think they’re hotshots, huh? Too bad for them, none of these girls would give them a second look.

“Oi, you at the back of the line, if you don’t want to be kicked out of the shop, keep your mouth shut. I am saving you from embarrassment, someone already tried earlier and he got shot down mercilessly.” Someone near the front of the line reminded him.

Ah. Someone already tried? I looked at the girls and they’re all smiling innocently as if they didn’t want to admit that.

Well, I would praise them for that but perhaps, it’s also embarrassing for them.

“He’s probably not good-looking enough, watch me.” The one who mentioned trying declared confidently before he began walking towards one of the tables where Aika, Yua and Miho were sitting.

As soon as they noticed that, the three girls had an ugly expression as if they didn’t want to deal with that.

“Sigh, another delusional guy.” The employee at the counter who was taking their orders shrugged her shoulders.

“Let him be. Who knows, he might succeed.”

And someone was optimistic enough for the guy who was trying.

However, as soon as that delusional guy arrived before their table, Miho’s somewhat melodic voice mercilessly shut him down.

“This isn’t the help desk. Move away. You’re blocking the view.”

From where he was standing, he was actually blocking her eyesight.

“Wait, I only want to know your name, miss.”

Even though he seemed intimidated by that, he still tried to push on.

However, Yua, who also had her view of me blocked, delivered another blow to him.

“You? You’re not qualified to know it. Now move.”

“Manager, someone is bothering us here.” And Aika delivered the final blow.

As soon as she shouted that, a man in his thirties appeared from the room behind the counter.

Without saying anything, he moved towards their table and grabbed the guy from his collar before pulling him out of the establishment. Despite his struggle to get out of his grasp, that was proven futile.

Following that, he went back to the girl’s table and bowed slightly.

“You know I can also do that,” I whispered which resulted in Akane and Sena who were at my side to start giggling as if what I said was funny.

“You don’t need to. Besides, that will just invite more trouble. Let us finish this and go.” Akane answered before pinching my cheek.

And upon seeing that, Sena did the same as they continued giggling. On the other hand, the other girls were still enviously looking. And those guys in line were the same.

Surely, they’re already cursing at me inside their heads.

Ah. Yukari didn’t see it because she’s busy restraining Elizabeth who’s trying to get out of her grasp to jump at me.
