What welcomed us on that walled space were boxes of papers. It’s really a storage room but they probably hid something here. Even the door to that soundproofed room was covered by something; a huge scroll with numerous poems written on it.
Mina lifted the scroll and it revealed a door. This was where they entered last Friday.
She put her hand on the door and turned it.
“Only you can enter. Hime should wait with me here.”
“Alright.”
I squeezed Himeko’s hand before releasing it. I’ve already gotten an initial hold on her. Sooner or later I will have her as mine.
Mina opened the door and three girls appeared from it.
Ah. These three. They’re the other lovers of Haruko. By their uniforms, two are 3rd years and one 2nd year like Mina and Himeko. They don’t look like introverts now, Haruko already opened them up more than Mina and Himeko. Maybe that’s why she didn’t introduce them to me.
The three only gave me a passing glance with a hint of hostility before continuing to pass by and moved to their clubroom.
Ah. I really am hated by them.
“Since they don’t want to be introduced to you, you should stop looking at them now.”
Mina said when she saw me looking at their backs.
“Right. Well then, see you two later.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t bother.”
Err. Now they have different responses to me. I pulled Himeko for another kiss before I stepped inside. They will probably ask her what changed her mind.
“You’re here.”
Haruko smiled when she saw me enter. Rindou was on the bed, unconscious.
“What happened here?”
“It’s a failure, Ruki. This girl. I can’t make her fall.”
Ah. Too bad. So is it impossible to get Rindou for me? Right now, the thought of her falling for Haruko made my desire ignite for her but if she won’t fall, what will happen? Will I still want Rindou to be mine?
“I see. What’s the reason?”
“As if you don’t know, you silly. She’s clearly fallen for you. Won’t you at least give her a chance?”
Right. It’s like that. How did she fall for me when I only helped her in having a conversation?
“You know my desire, Haruko.”
“But it changed, right? What do you think about Ayase?”
Let’s see. She’s the cute introverted girl on my left. The way she tried to talk to me even if it’s taking all her courage was admirable. I want to see her brighten up and start coming out of her shell she built for herself. I actually don’t know what really made her like that but maybe I actually want to know.
“I kind of want to see her cast off that gloom surrounding her.”
“I see. You silly, you asked for my help but in fact, it’s only you who can do that.”
“But my desire.”
“I’ll satisfy that desire of yours, just give this girl a chance.”
Haruko…
I looked at Rindou. Her uniform was a bit disheveled and her face was red. I don’t know what they’ve done to her before I came in. She looked erotic enough to look at.
I sat on the side of the bed and stroked her face. When Rindou felt that, her eyelids fluttered. She’s a bit sensitive to my touch.
Haruko was watching at the side with an interesting expression on her face.
“Ayase got it good, you already changed enough that even without thinking of stealing her, she was put into your eyes. Do you still not realize it? You asked me to make her fall, which meant you want her to be yours.”
Ah. Was that it? Do I really want Rindou to be mine? I was just speeding up the process, right? Instead of her looking for a guy, I’d rather let Haruko take her. But yeah, my desire already changed.
I continued stroking Rindou’s face, it’s soft and smooth. Then I moved to her hair and brushed it with my fingers.
“Maybe you’re right. I put her through this because I want her. Haruko, I did something wrong again, right?”
“You silly, it just meant that that was probably another side of your desire. It’s not just about stealing someone from another now.”
“But it’s still like that. Just yesterday, a distant relative arrived and I already wanted to steal her from her husband.”
“You don’t have to think too hard about it. Just follow what your desire tells you. Tell me, do you want Ayase?”
Rindou’s face was peaceful right now. She’s feeling comfortable from my touch.
“I do.”
“Then make her yours.”
“No. She might not like it. She doesn’t know about my true nature.”
“You can tell her about it at your own pace. Alright. You can open your eyes now, Ayase.”
Eh? She’s awake all this time? What’s this? Even earlier, I failed to notice that Fujii was awake. Are my senses turning dull? Or I was just too focused on Haruko?
Hearing what Haruko said, Rindou’s closed eyes opened instantly, her head then turned to face me.
Ah. I really got tricked by them. Is this Haruko’s way of helping Rindou?
“O-onoda.”
“You heard?”
She nodded and then she looked towards Haruko.
“Thank you, Kojima-senpai.”
“I told you to call me Haru-senpai. You don’t need to thank me, I’m doing this for that silly guy beside you.”
This Haruko, she always surprises me. How can I reward her? Ah. Maybe soon, when she stays at my house. ℴ𝓿.
“I love you Onoda, uhm no, Ruki.”
“I know. I may be a bit dense but I’ve already been told by those who noticed.”
“Haru-senpai told me things about you.”
“You must’ve been shocked, right?”
She nodded but she didn’t avert her gaze. She’s still looking at me with the same eyes she always has towards me. Glittering brightly.
“Uhm… I already thought of this possibility. There’s no way only I can see you as someone special. The more I see you, the more special you become. I keep falling deeper for you.”
“You can speak out for yourself now Rindou, ah Ayase. I’m glad.”
Yes. All the gloom she had was gone now. It’s totally different than when I first saw her.
She blushed further when I corrected my way of calling her.
“It’s because of you, Ruki. No one bothered talking to me when I couldn’t hold a conversation like how you did before.”
“Eh? Am I a bother?”
“Uhm no, I meant it in a good way.”
“I see. Truthfully, my motive for talking to you was impure.”
My original idea was to have her open up so she can have the courage to date someone. That was truly impure. Or not?
“Nonetheless, it came out as positive for me.”
“Should I leave the room for you two?”
Haruko butt in on our conversation. She’s really considerate of Ayase.
“No, Haru-senpai. Stay here with us.”
“If I stay, I will cling to that guy. You see, I want to be spoiled by him right now.”
“E-eh?”
“I love him maybe more than how much you love him.”
I also might want to spoil Haruko if she stayed. That time in the infirmary earlier made me want her but it was cut off. Ah.
“T-then stay here Haru-senpai.”
“Don’t you want to be alone with him?”
Ayase probably thought it’s better to have Haruko here. Even if she has already decided, she still has some misgivings she wasn’t aware of.
“I do. But…”
“I see. You still don’t know what to do in this situation.”
“Y-yes.”
“Here, let me teach you.”
After saying that, Haruko closed in on us and turned my head to face her.
Right in front of Ayase, Haruko kissed me intimately. My hand circled around her waist unconsciously and pulled her closer.
Ayase looked on us closely, her hands covered her eyes but her fingers were wide open.
Slowly, Haruko once again settled on my lap. She occasionally looked at Ayase’s reactions. After a while, she broke it off again.
“Your turn, Ayase.”
“I-I can’t do that yet.”
“Then do you want Ruki to kiss you?”
“Uhm. Y-yes.”
Eh? That book is dangerous. It made Ayase this proactive. But yeah, this is great. Somehow, she already got out of her shell, even if it’s only in front of us for now.
“You heard the girl. Don’t pout like that, you silly, we’ll do more later.”
“Sorry, Ayase. I’ll ask again. Do you really want to be mine?”
Am I pouting? I don’t know. Haruko keeps on getting me excited then she’ll cut it off. Now I don’t know if I wanted to punish or reward her.
I looked back to Ayase and saw her staring at me.
“Y-yes.”
“Are you sure? You can still back out.”
“N-no one can replace you.”
“I see. Then Ayase, I’ll make you mine. If you hate it, you’re free to go, okay? I helped you with this impure motive of eventually stealing you as mine, you should think it through.”
I stared intently into her eyes to convey that what I’m saying is serious. I don’t want her to make a hasty decision. Like with Nikaido. Ah. That girl as well. I have to deal with her soon. Though she’s a bit different from Ayase, she expressed her desire to be stolen by me.
“I’ve already decided. You see, I can see you as the alpha male in a pride of lions, Ruki. The lionesses don’t mind it even if they’re many and they know you’re treating them equally. I want in. No. Take me in.”
“I see, so that’s how you see me. Maybe you’re right. I’ll take care of all of you. But if any of you want to get out, don’t hesitate to tell me. You might feel uncomfortable in the future since I will keep adding new ones.”
Do I treat them equally? I don’t know. Akane is the most special and whenever I’m with someone, I focus on her. Treating her as someone special to me.
“You’re still on that, this silly guy. Stop that thought of me leaving you. Just you wait. I will let you feel how much I love you again later but first, focus on Ayase.”
“Y-yes, focus on me, Ruki. Will you take me in?”
Haruko stood up from my lap giving me the freedom to go to Ayase. This girl is currently giving her all for me to look at her. To make her mine
Her body seemingly shrunk when I went on top of her but she kept her eyes on me. With that determined eyes, I surrendered.
“Ayase…”
“Un…”
She then stretched her arm, welcoming me. I put my hands on hers, crossing our fingers, pinning it just next to her head. She turned her head to look at our hands clasping tightly.
Ah. This girl. Haruko’s right. I want to make Ayase mine. This is another part of my desire. I was making excuses to justify my desire to have her.
Her fringes that were covering her eyes were swept to the side revealing her glittering eyes. I could see her determination. She really decided to be mine.
I should not disappoint her and do my best.
This might change our relationship but I guess, we can act as normal in class, like how I and Satsuki did it. Nami might notice the change but she’ll be mine as well so it doesn’t matter anymore.
I will be taking away Ayase’s first kiss. Putting my lips on top of hers, she kept it closed. She still doesn’t know what to do so I should be the one to guide her.
“Did I take your first kiss, Ayase?”
“Y-yes… I finally got to do this with you”
I see. Haruko and the other girls didn’t do anything to her. Maybe they interviewed her and one thing led to another until I was called here.
I kissed her again, this time I sucked on her lower lips until it turned red. I focused all my attention to her, not minding Haruko who was watching at our side.
“I see. Did you fantasize about kissing me?”
“Yes. The girls surrounding you in class are growing. I thought it would only be just me.”
“Actually, those girls. I’m also planning to steal them. Do you still want to be mine?”
“Y-you’re being this honest, then I will too. Yes, I still want to be yours.”
I guess she really won’t back down now. I asked her a lot of times and she answered the same.
My lips dropped down to her lips again, this time I’ll fully ravish it and teach her how to kiss properly. Ayase wants to be mine even after knowing all that then I just have to respond, right? I will grant her wish.
