Stealing Spree

Chapter 2323: Fake Name

The morning the next day passed the same as yesterday except Akane woke up earlier than me to help me out with the miraculous teaʼs side effect. She mainly used her mouth and hand. And when she offered her other hole that we havenʼt really touched at all ever since that one time we talked about it, I turned it down again.

Itʼs not that I didnʼt prefer doing it like that but it shouldnʼt be done hastily without any preparation or it would hurt her. If she truly wanted it, I naturally wouldnʼt reject her. But other than bringing it up once before and today, it just meant she hadnʼt seriously considered it. Besides, itʼs not impossible to make love while sheʼs still on her period, just like that time when our desires reached their peak.

Anyway, once we finished, I carried her with me downstairs and did our usual routine of exercise, breakfast and then preparing for school. With Miwa-nee taking over the breakfast preparation today, I got some spare time even after finishing the keyboard practice, business-related quiz, set exercises, and the thousand swings of the tennis racket.

I used that time to check in with the other girls, mostly those I might not be able to meet physically today because of our different schools.

Surprisingly, I also got a message from Shiina and Sara. The former started her message with a greeting before starting to sulk at how busy she became after the camping trip making it impossible for her to fulfill what she said before about visiting our school. It was only more than a week since that time but I guess she wanted to see me as soon as possible.

The latter, on the other hand, only sent a small update and a sweet ʼgood morningʼ message. Thatʼs very like her.

I replied to them both, sending a message to Shiina, teasing her a little by telling her that I might just visit her myself, and a similarly warm greeting to Sara.

Other than that, thereʼs the goofy Hanabi who sent me another photo of her twin sister, thinking I wouldnʼt notice it was actually her pretending to be Matsuri.

When I asked her whether she was also going to wear a swimsuit now that summer season had arrived, she replied with a cheeky emoji, ”I will if you asked me to.”

Yep. The girl was probably bored again. I wonder if sheʼs already taking her classes seriously. Most likely not.

In a way, Hanabi was the opposite of Minami Shouko. Rather than create trouble in search of a genuine connection, sheʼs skipping classes because she doesnʼt want any on top of being simply bored. She kept on wandering her school even during classes just to find something to amuse herself. Perhaps if she didnʼt recognize me at that time, sheʼd remain that elusive girl who had nothing better to do.

But here we are now. I couldnʼt help but feel a bit responsible for her. If I could keep her in check then maybe sheʼd find her purpose again. But then again, even Matsuri, her twin sister, failed to convince her to take her studies seriously and stop acting truant,𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Iʼd probably need to bring her to my side to accomplish such a task.

Half an hour later, Akane and I finished our preparations and walked out the door after checking on Miwa-nee one more time.

My silly wife clung to my arm as we walked towards the station. Unlike us, their swimming classes wouldnʼt start until next week but she already showed me their school swimsuit that wasnʼt really that much different from ours. Still, seeing her in it was eye candy even though Iʼd already seen her naked body countless times before.

Now, Iʼm looking forward to seeing Fuyu and the other girls in it too. My perverted nature wasnʼt going to let me miss out on that opportunity.

”Husband, you have a creepy smile on your face. Are you thinking about something naughty? Is the effect of the tea active?” Akane said with a smirk. Even without me saying it, she could already guess what was on my mind.

”Sorry, itʼs just out of habit.” I rubbed my nose, trying to hide the grin that spread across my face.

Akane rolled her eyes before pinching my side.

As we reached the station, the usual morning bustle greeted us. Students rushing to catch their trains, office workers looking half-asleep as they sipped their morning coffe,e and the occasional vendor shouting out offers for snacks or breakfast sandwiches.

We boarded the train, finding a relatively quiet corner where Akane once again latched onto my arm. She leaned her head on my shoulder, her eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought. ”Husband, help me think of a fake name for me,” Akane eventually said, revealing what was on her mind, ”You know, for Yueʼs plan. Something cool that will resonate with the song.” Right. We have to think about that, huh? I did tell her what Yue said last night but considering she still had her head a little muddled from her quirk, I told her not to rush it,

”Hmm, let me think... Your full name is Shimizu Akan so maybe we can come up with something meaningful, but not too far from your identity,” I replied, tapping my chin thoughtfully.

Akane perked up, curiosity lighting her eyes. ”Like what?”

”Well, letʼs see... Akari could work. Itʼs close to your name and means light, fitting for your role in the collaboration.”

”Akari... Hmm, itʼs cute, but maybe a bit too close to my real name. There may not be a possibility for everyone to figure out itʼs me but itʼs better to pick something different.” ”True. How about something a bit more distinct but still meaningful? Maybe Aki? It has a warm, cheerful vibe that suits you.”

Akane tilted her head, considering it. ”Aki... I like it. But isnʼt it too simple?”

Right. It is. Is my naming sense so wacky? Uh... Well, no wonder I like Potato Clubhouse.

”It doesnʼt have to be overly complex. The meaning and how it fits you are more important. But if you want something cooler... Maybe Hikari? Or even something Western-inspired, like Claire? Oh, wait, thatʼs Elizabethʼs momʼs name”

Akane bursts into a giggle. ”Claire sounds so fancy! But Iʼm not sure it suits me besides, as you said, itʼs Elizabethʼs mom. But Hikari might work. Itʼs bright, just like Yueʼs songs.”

I nodded, a small smile forming. ”Hikari does suit you. Itʼs not far from your name, and it represents the warmth you always bring to others. Sheʼs the bright morning sun with Mabushisa Asahi while youʼre the light.”

”Alright, Hikari it is, then!” Akane declared with a satisfied grin. ”Now I just have to let Yue and Miho know. Hopefully, Mihoʼs okay with whatever name she picks for herself.”

”Iʼm sure sheʼll come up with something just as fitting,” I said. ”And if she struggles, sheʼd surely come to me as well for help.”

Akane nodded enthusiastically before leaning her head back on my shoulder, humming softly.

The train ride passed peacefully as we continued chatting about the alias and how the collaboration would unfold. Then, when the train arrived at the next station, Fuyu entered and joined us. Surprisingly, there was also Machida trailing behind her.

Did they meet each other on the way? Possibly.
