Stealing Spree Chapter 2108: Fuyu's Request



Having seen Fuyu jump into my embrace, even if we tried to wave it off as an awkward situation that we smoothened out right away, I could already sense Futaba and Eri communicating through their eyes.

Who is Fuyu to them?

Their loveless best friend who has never been involved with any other guy. True. They probably heard her criticizing for Akane's sake many tis before. But for the girl to hug due to happiness from winning, that's not just new. It was unnatural.

Most likely their ntal conversation was already going in this direction:

"So, we'll pretend Fuyu didn't exhibit an unusual reaction there, right?"

"Eri. Just shut your mouth for a mont. It was an accident. Didn't you see Fuyu turning around right away?"

"Eh... But that's our ice flower! Have you seen her get close to a guy before? Not even the popular prodigy of their club couldn't prolong a conversation with her after a greeting! But right there. She didn't even get mad at Onoda-kun! Think about it, didn't that look weird to you?"

"... I don't know. But maybe, just maybe... she likes Onoda-kun?"

"Maybe? Let's press her about it later!"

"What about Akane?"

"You know that girl... She'd rather throw Fuyu to her husband than let any other guy get close to her."

"That's true..."

Alright. Let's stop the simulation there. It's becoming more unrealistic. They're not telepaths. They shouldn't be able to communicate through their eyes for that long!

In any case, it's undeniable that there should be a layer of suspicion in their eyes right now. If they look back to our recent interactions just like the ones on the train, they'd be able to figure out that Fuyu had no problem getting close to now.

We were even swept away together at one point.

Maybe one of these days, I'll hear them question about Fuyu. Or maybe not because they're going to catch us in the act.

Either way, I don't plan on hiding my relationship with her to her friends. Sooner or later, I'll also feel unsatisfied by holding back whenever we're together.

If I can be as shaless with my other girls in public places, I can surely do the sa thing in front of their best friends. They won't judge us, right?

Or maybe they will. But hey, they'll have no choice but to accept that both Akane and Fuyu are dating .

As I was lost in that thought, Fuyu finally made up her mind.

She took her ti thinking of a suitable request by looking around her.

And at this mont, her eyes landed sowhere.

I followed her gaze and then waited for her to voice it out.

"I decided! Onoda-kun, help carry our bags upstairs. We'll be sleeping in your room, right?"

"Yeah. And I'll be the gentleman and sleep her downstairs." I swiftly replied.

That's right. That's how this sleepover will go.

The four of them will be sleeping in our bedroom. I an, it's big enough to fit five of my girls and there. It'll be spacious for four of them.

As for why I chose to sleep here rather than in my previous room... I guess that's to give a sense of security to the other two.

They lied to their boyfriends about sleeping over at Akane's house, after all. They didn't ntion that they're going to sleep in this house where I also live.

Of course, there's no reason for to be too cautious for them but in this way, Eri and Futaba will find more trustworthy.

It's not like it's going to be my first ti taking the couch.

This sleepover is for them to enjoy this night. It's already enough for to play like this with them. I better not overstep my bounds.

And I can feel it, Akane and Fuyu will still find their way to my side. In one way or another, they'll make up an excuse or sneak out to see here.

Now, that's exciting.

"Whoa, Onoda-kun. You have just earned my respect." Eri saluted as though she was already celebrating my sacrifice.

"It's called decency, Eri. Onoda-kun still has it. I'm actually impressed." Futaba also chid in. My approval rating in her eyes must've risen to 90%.

"Stop praising , I'll blush." I playfully replied to the two and that earned another serving of their hearty laughter.

With that, it looks like Fuyu's request would be approved without further question.

"I feel bad for Onoda-kun. You two are being mischievous with your request. Not to ntion, Akane. I'm toning it down by giving him a reasonable request." Fuyu added as she scolded them before glancing at the girl in the kitchen who was humming happily as she prepared our dinner table.

Eri and Futaba guiltily lowered their heads as they awkwardly laughed.

Fuyu sounded so kind right there. No doubt.

However, if those two looked closely, they'd be so confused to see Fuyu's expression. It was currently a mix of joy and anticipation.

She even sneakily grabbed my hand and squeezed it with all her might.

This girl... She really used her head on how to get an excuse to be alone with .

She should get comnded for that.

"Alright. Thank you, Yuuki-san. You're a lifesaver." I genuinely praised her there which made her lips stretch from side to side as her beautiful smile blessed my eyes.

"Save the praise for later, Onoda-kun. Let's go get this." She hurriedly stood up and hid her reddening face from her two friends by approaching their bags gathered on one side of the

living room.

I inwardly shook my head, reeling in the urge to just grab and hold her again.

I followed behind her and grabbed the bags, slinging all three on my shoulder. Upon seeing that there was nothing left to pick up, Fuyu looked around and found my school bag on the other sofa. She picked that up and then hugged it to her chest as though she was

using it as a substitute for .

This girl... She's really too dangerous for my heart.

Anyway, with that done, I turned around to the other two.

"Alright. I'll help Yuuki-san. You two should play against each other first and wait for us to

co back. Also... Don't fight!"

I reminded them which instantly made them pout. I guess I went overboard there.

"We're not children, Onoda-kun! You don't have to remind us!"

"Don't worry. We'll behave. If it's only Eri, I can handle her myself."

"You. Don't be cocky now, Futaba! I will also beat you!"

Eri snarled at while Futaba just put on a aningful smile as her eyes alternated between

us before picking up the controller again.

Well, there's no need to overthink there anymore.

Fuyu and I looked at each other and nodded. Then, we checked on Akane who just waved her

hand, giving her blessing for us to go wild upstairs.

Or so that's what I'm hoping to happen.

Can we do that though? After holding back too much, it was not unlikely.

Anyway, with my lead, Fuyu followed to the stairs. However, before we could take another

step, I heard Eri shouting a reminder at us.

"Onoda-kun! Don't look inside our bags, okay?"

"Wow, Eri. Did you bring risky underwear? Don't tempt Onoda-kun."

"What did you say? That's not it, idiot Futaba!"

"Fufu... Don't mind her, Onoda-kun. There's Fuyu and I trust you."

Sohow, those two ended up bantering with each other rather than hearing my reply.

Fuyu giggled at them, clearly enjoying their dynamics. Akane tried to chi in but well, she's

just adding to the chaos.

In any case, I made sure not to dip my toes in it and focused on the matter at hand. It's

inappropriate, right?

"Let's go, Yuuki-san. Watch your steps."

"Yes!"

With this, Fuyu excitedly climbed the stairs behind .

Soon, we reached the second floor and turned to the room we slept in last night.

As I was about to open the door, Fuyu ran up behind . Knowing that we were already out of

Eri and Futaba's sight, the girl couldn't wait anymore.

"Ruki... I missed you." She sweetly whispers as her hands slip from my sides, hugging

from behind. She was still carrying my bag but she already slung it on her forearm to get her fingers locked around my abdon.
