Stealing Spree Chapter 407: Surprised

When the train arrived at the first station, all three of us disembarked to walk Aya to her house.

Because Aya was already with us, Rae thought that she would have more ti with if we walk Aya to her house.

With that suggestion from Rae, the adorable girl who was sowhat down when the train stopped at her station imdiately beca lively.

Walking under the darkening sky, even though Rae was with us, Aya still happily clung to my arms whenever the street would be devoid of other people who could see and judge us.

For her, this was like a dream co true.

Although that’s kind of shallow if viewed by others, her happiness was always like this. Simple.

As long as it’s about or the two of us, that’s enough for her to be this lively.

And this was why I was always spoiling her whenever we’re alone. I appreciate Aya’s positivity.

It already saved and comforted not just once or twice. As long as she’s with , I feel like being depressed would be a sin to her.

After a few minutes of walking wherein Rae didn’t copy Aya and just walked beside us, we reached the street where the Rindou Household’s house was located.

Perhaps afraid that her neighbors would tell her parents they saw her clinging to a guy like this, Aya released my arm after asking for a kiss.

Well, she’s still the shy and introverted girl. It’s not completely cured yet. She could only be more cheerful and outgoing whenever she’s with or us.

Besides, more than being shy, it’s more about her being conscious of herself. She tends to think about what others would think of her and that ended up with her being afraid to interact with anyone or even et their gazes.

If not for us sitting next to each other in class, I doubt we would have the sa relationship. She would also not see as soone cool so… the possibility of her falling for or liking would be low.

Perhaps, I would see her as Haruko’s new entrapped girl because of that Lion Cub book if we didn’t have that initial interaction in the classroom.

That’s how introverted she was.

At the mont, she’s already on her way to open up to more people and I was there to witness all of that.

After a short bout of kisses on a dark corner, we entered her street and traversed the last few steps towards their house.

Fortunately, since it’s already night, what Aya feared didn’t happen. There was also no one outside at that ti after all.

When we reached her house which was a traditional Japanese house, the night had already fallen and it was already too silent.

Aya already had a fill of my affection right before so… we only watched her enter her house with a sweet smile on her lips.

Looking at her eyes, she was actually thinking about inviting inside. But when her gaze passed on Rae and rembering how Rae pass up on being close to for her, she bit her lips and stopped whatever she wanted to say.

Instead of that, Aya ran towards Rae and thanked the glasses girl before running inside.

“I think I’m liking Aya more. I’m glad you introduced to her, Ruki.”

Rae flashed a smile as she watched Aya’s retreating back disappear into that small house.

“I get you. She’s adorable and… she’s treasuring every bond she made. You’re more than just a friend and a sister to her now.”

“To think that I could even make a friend even if we’re supposed to be rivals in love… It’s my turn now.” Rae shook her head while maintaining the smile she had earlier.

Following that, taking, Rae took Aya’s place as she clung tightly to my arm as we went back to the train station.

The rush hour had already passed which led us to get a seat sowhere with less eye that would see our closeness as an eyesore.

After settling on our seat, Rae fixed my hair again for her preference and I took out the glasses I promised to wear for her.

Well, it’s not that she wanted to always take on this kind of appearance but like the others, she’s just trying to fulfill her desire to see in her preferred look.

Nonetheless, as soon as she did that, she imdiately followed up by saying that she liked this appearance second only to the original.

After admiring it for a good few minutes, Rae grabbed my arm and placed it over her shoulder before using my shoulder to lean her head on.

It’s been a long day for both of us… or maybe only for .

In any case, the 15 minutes ride towards her station beca filled with us savoring that little ti we had wherein those judging eyes were all ignored by us.

Like whenever she would find a chance or she just wanted more intimacy with , Rae would lift her head from my shoulder to ask for my kiss wordlessly

And naturally, I always answered those with eagerness. Kissing her and being indulged by her affection to .

Apart from that, we also reminisced about our past.

The ti that passed since we first t each other wasn’t that long yet, however, Rae told that those mories of eting and interacting with were the turning point of her life.

Truthfully, we were talking about this topic almost every ti we’re together. However, since Rae didn’t seem to be getting tired of it, I always entertain this topic with the sa eagerness as our kisses.

She was living a knowledge-driven life after all. Just like my past self with my life only driven by my desire.

That’s the reason why I ended up going after her. Perhaps, the desire to steal her from soone who hadn’t appeared yet was just a minor reason and our likeness was the greatest factor why I ended up pursuing her.

We might not have the ti to do what we planned for today but the ti we spent starting from school up to here were all filled with mories we found precious.

She understood that even without doing it, my feelings for her weren’t false.

I introduced her to that subject but I also beca the one who ended up restricting her from being too indulged in it… and being the smart girl that she was, she thoroughly understood that I was doing it for her.

In any case, that would still happen in the near future so there’s no need to rush. We’ll arrive there before we knew it.

After leaving the train station. We only needed to walk for at least five minutes before we arrived at a sowhat desolate neighborhood where big houses and mansions could be seen.

And before we arrived at where she lives which turned out to also be a mansion of so kind... Rae pulled my arm as we circled around this rich neighborhood, trying everything we could try and introducing the places she could introduce.

Without any eyes watching us, Rae wanted to have fun with , sothing she hadn’t done before because of being the knowledge girl, before ending the day and make this day a morable one for her.

A mory of her wholeheartedly playing without any care in the world. A mory wherein she’s not using any knowledge she accumulated but only her whims as a child that she had forsaken before.

We ran through a vacant lot. Played on the playground that was ant for kids and lastly, sat by the nearby river to play skip a stone.

During all that, I captured those monts with my phone, taking pictures of her happily playing and enjoying the ti like a little child who went to the playground for the first ti.

When we returned in front of their mansion wherein a huge plaque which read ‘Fujii’ could be seen, Rae’s uniform was already drenched in sweat.

Nonetheless, what could be seen on her lips was her brightest smile to date.

“Ruki… I think I also liked this better than us resting in a private room.” Rae pulled by my collar and whispered teasingly.

Before I could answer her, the tallic gate of their mansion opened and soone who’s wearing a black and white maid attire respectfully bowed towards Rae. “Welco back, Mirae-ojou-sama.”

I already had my guess ever since we passed by here earlier but it only felt real right now.
