Stealing Spree Chapter 1117 Too Late

From what Nakanishi-senpai said, I realized that I was looking at all of this from a different angle. Rather than the whole conflict from ddling with Ichihara Jun’s business of picking up girls, Enomoto’s interest in was birthed by Shizu’s favorable treatnt of .

Either he’s like Inugaki, chasing her skirt but failing to even touch the hem of it or soone who just found it interesting that she could favor soone else. He’s probably aware of that cold, unbending mask of hers that she’s using to play pretty and amiable in public while immovable and unfeeling in private.

Well, more than an assumption, I could confidently say that this was really the case…

It just so happened that the encounter with Ichihara Jun pretty much coincided with the reveal of my role as the Disciplinary Officer. Although not on the sa day, the interval wasn’t that long.

And that’s why I assud it was about him rather than so other reasons. In a way, dodging conflict was really an option had I realized this earlier.

I could’ve fed Enomoto with so lies which would make him lose interest. But that’s too late now…

Upon seeing not arguing back, Nakanishi-senpai chuckled once more to the point that the whites of her teeth beca visible. She found that too amusing.

“I got you, huh? But you’re still too serious, Onoda-kun. Is that your default expression?”

“Yes. Does senpai want to laugh along with you?”

“No. There’s no need for that. I’m just glad you didn’t continue denying it. Your admittance saved us a lot of unproductive ti.”

“I have a reputation of being honest, after all. Besides, you sounded too confident that there’s no more chance of rebuttal.”

“Good choice. Now, let’s move to the main reason why I looked for you…”

All of a sudden, her tone turned solemn. The curves of her lips straightened and the previous jolly mood she was exuding beca sothing like an illusion.

Nakanishi-senpai nudged her glasses to fix it before focusing her eyes on , her eyelids narrowing ever-so-slightly.

As the serious air started to perate around her, I couldn’t help but raise an inquiry.

“What’s wrong, senpai? You looked like you’re looking at a dead man.”

“That attitude is what’s wrong, Onoda-kun. You’re aware of what’s about to co yet, here you are, confidently chatting up with soone connected to the possible mastermind of it.”

This girl… She just confird Izumi-senpai’s information. Moreover, she also revealed that they’re aware of being fed with information.

That ans, my connection to Izumi-senpai wasn’t a secret anymore. The connection they perceived most likely didn’t point at Izumi-senpai as my girlfriend. A close friend perhaps. And that’s the sa for my connection to Shizu…

,m If I had to guess, being seen with different girls was bringing out its effect. They couldn’t pinpoint who among them was my girlfriend. They still hadn’t arrived with the possibility that it could be all of them…

“I see. Senpai is here to check on if I am already cowering in fear.”

“You can say that. And judging from you can still joke with … You’re not feeling threatened.”

“What can that do? If it’s going to happen, then so be it.” I shrugged. After saying that, I turned around and started walking away.

Nakanishi-senpai didn’t call out to . However, I could hear her rushing footsteps as she chased after .

When I paused, she also did the sa.

Whatever she wanted to do, it was probably hearing sothing else from .

I contemplated for a few monts before turning around. There she was, standing too close to . Compared to how serious she looked earlier, I could now see a hint of concern in her eyes… Her breathing also seed irregular as though she was holding her breath longer than she should.

“Is senpai worried about ? I recall we’re not that close for to have that privilege.” I asked.

She took half a minute before responding. And within that ti, the girl probably experienced so kind of turbulent surge of emotion on how she should answer that.

“You’re correct. I’m not worried. Who will be when you’re looking this confident? I’m just going to remind you again, Onoda-kun. Steer clear of all this trouble.”

“That’s already too late, isn’t it? Oh, right. Please tell Enomoto-senpai to show his face next ti. I’d rather not trouble you, senpai. Who knows? I might make you fall for if we continue eting like this.”

“This junior. That’s so otherworldly confidence you have there. Unfortunately, I’m not the one who has the final say. It’s either you’ll see again or you’ll get to et him.” Nakanishi-senpai was taken aback at how confident I delivered that one but as always, she reverted to her almost monotonous tone as soone else’s ssenger.

Without responding to that, I turned around again and resud leaving that place. This ti, Nakanishi-senpai didn’t follow but I heard her saying, “Run if you can’t win.”

Really… She said she was not worried but her words contradicted it.

I wonder… I’m kind of getting curious about her whole story.

As luck would have it, Itou’s ssage arrive as soon as I stepped inside the Club Building. With my tail gone, I easily traversed the few steps toward the room I designated.

Without knocking on the door, I pushed it open and two pairs of eyes instantly focused on .

One instantly shone brighter than the stars in the night sky while the other simply looked on and focused on .

“Ruki!” Misaki called my na and imdiately ran up to .

Even before I could close the door I opened, I had to make a move to catch her, otherwise, she’d hit the wall or the floor, depending on when she was going to trip herself up.

“Careful. I won’t be running away.”

As I helped the girl up, Misaki put her hand on my shoulders as support. And while laughing cutely, the girl brought up her paper fan to cover her mouth.

“Hehe… I just missed my friend. You’re hard to catch even if you’re only two classes away. Shall I give you the nickna Elusive Ruki?”

“No. Anything but a nickna that sounds like a special ability.”

“What about Sneaky? That’s a great nickna if I must say so…”

This girl should be stopped with nicknas. Where did she pick that up anyway?

“Misaki… Just call Ruki. I like it best if you call by na.” I put on a smile which made the girl’s mood instantly soar.

And with the sa glittering eyes, she nodded her head multiple tis as she fanned herself which blew away the fringes covering her wide forehead.

“Oh! Agreed. Using your na is the best… It shows how close we are.”

To keep her mood lifted, I agreed to it before placing my hand on top of her head and caressing it endearingly.

The girl instantly found herself comfortable with it. She also stepped forward, her arm on my shoulder hooking to the back of my neck as she pressed herself closer for a hug. However, she had to tiptoe for doing that.

I was about to slightly lower my body for her convenience when the other girl in the room walked toward us. “Onoda, do you still rember what you said earlier?
