Stealing Spree

Chapter 2318: Misaki's Growth



Half an hour later, Maaya, Misaki, and I left the clubhouse together. I decided to bring them back with me rather than have them stay in the clubhouse together.

Misaki woke up not long after Maaya and I got dressed. Although she fell asleep after she climaxed, she knew we did not stop after it. She put on this innocent yet extremely charming smile that still radiates her satisfaction at what we did. She even whispered to me that she liked the taste of me. That got me dangerously close to getting hard again.

While it would've been better to stay and wait for the time in the clubhouse, I couldn't just not show up again in the Student Council. Shizu, Komoe and maybe even Minami Shouko would become upset since I promised to return. And since I didn't want to leave Misaki and Maaya here, I asked them if they wanted to come with me, which they immediately agreed to. Maaya had trouble standing up because of the prickling sensation but once she got her bearings, the way she walked became no different than usual, graceful and poised. Misaki, on the other hand, was practically glowing with happiness as she held onto my arm, her cheeks still a bit flushed despite falling asleep.

On our way back to the Student Council room, we naturally garnered attention from the other students given the two remained clinging to me. For sure, another set of rumors would come up tomorrow but at this point, it didn't matter anymore.

"Huh. You just went on patrol and now you came back with two of your girls." With her lips curved up in a knowing smile, Shizu narrowed her eyes at me as I walked into the Student Council room with Maaya and Misaki in tow.

The couple and Komoe weren't around, and most likely got sent by Shizu on a task. However, Minami Shouko was still in the room. She had a similar reaction as Shizu but with a more questioning gaze as if asking what I was doing.

Before I could answer, Misaki ran towards Shizu. Her cheerfulness and innocence were like a beacon in the room. But never would I have thought she'd make an excuse for us.

"Sister Shizu, we were at the clubhouse. Ruki cleaned the garden plots outside and... stayed there to rest."

"Is that what happened?" Shizu replied, clearly unconvinced as she raised an eyebrow at me and Maaya. Somehow, she's also fond of the forehead girl's innocence that she wouldn't call her out with that lie.

Well, she's not entirely wrong though. She simply omitted what we did while resting. But knowing Shizu and how observant she was, it would be easy for her to figure everything out.

"Well, roughly that's what happened. Did I miss something?" I answered as we continued inside with Maaya still stuck to my side.

Shizu chuckled, clearly not buying our innocent act, but she didn't push the issue. "You know, Shouko was worried when you didn't come back. Thought you might've run away or something,"

The girl's voice was filled with mischief as our eyes landed on the girl seated silently there. "W-wha? President! I didn't say that. It's just... He promised to return but look at the time." Minami Shouko said with a pout. When our eyes met, she acted upset by turning her head to the side.

"Heh. Is senpai waiting for me? I apologize. Next time I'll bring you with me when I go out on patrol." I teased her with a wink, making the girl's cheeks turn red before she glared at me exasperatedly.

"You're flirting again, shameless guy." The silent Maaya pinched my cheek as she straightened her back, trying to compose herself.

Just like this, our arrival heralded the continuous back and forth between the five of us. In the end, because the three of them weren't even trying to hide their relationship with me, Minami Shouko became stuck in an awkward spot watching me cuddled by the three.

She did say that she's aware of my relationships. However, she didn't know to what extent. Last week, I openly kissed Komoe, Arisa and Shizu in front of her.

And today, she saw two new faces.

Will she change her mind about trusting me to find her 'genuine connection'?

"... Uhm. Onoda-kun, you're too much."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Minami Shouko eventually said with an exhausted tone as she tried to busy herself on the papers in front of her.

"I'm sorry, senpai. Are we making you uncomfortable?"

"I'll be lying if I say no... But this is you, right? This is how you are. I'm aware of it. It's just... a little overwhelming. Maybe I'll get used to it in the future." Minami Shouko replied, not looking up from her papers but her voice carried the hint of helplessness.

Naturally, Maaya and Shizu also picked that up. They both looked at me as though urging me to comfort the girl.

However, the innocent girl beat me to the punch again, "Senpai, do you also like Ruki? May I know your name?"

Misaki walked over to her side and beamed a pleasant smile to the girl.

"I'm Minami. Sorry, I don't like Onoda-kun. I'm here because of him though."

"Oh! You mean you don't like him yet?"

"I never said that... He promised to help me, that's all."

"I see... If it's Ruki I know he can accomplish that. You're in good hands, senpai."

Misaki's innocence was truly amazing. Just a few words from her and the tension had already dissipated.

Minami Shouko also looked like she was starting to get fond of the girl. She took a deep breath and composed herself, looking up from her papers. "You're right. If it's him, I'm in good hands. What's your name, junior?"

"Oh. I'm Minamoto Misaki. Nice to meet you, Minami-sama."

"Nice to meet you two, Misaki-chan."

Watching this interaction unfold, Maaya, Shizu and I could only silently exclaim how effective Misaki's innocence was. It was like watching a miracle worker. She had a way to charm anyone, and she had just done it again.

After this, she sat down next to Minami Shouko as they talked about certain things. However, Minami Shouko quickly found out that whenever possible, Misaki would bring my name to

the table.

When Komoe, Watanabe and Masato-senpai returned, the same thing happened. The whole Student Council became under the spell of the innocent girl at how approachable and adorable

she was.

Thinking about it, she wasn't like this originally. She was innocent but she kept to herself or only stayed close to Maaya. But now, it's no trouble for her to interact with more people. That shows her growth when it comes to socializing.
