Stealing Spree

Chapter 2308: Your paradise is here



With Reira-senpai's arrival, Nikka-senpai immediately tried to compose herself, removing the loneliness that had momentarily occupied her expression.

"Why will he bully me, Reira? Onoda-kun here is helping me clean up." She said, defending me from the accusation. She then pushed me on the back, bringing me to where Reira-senpai stood.

"Is that the case? Okay. I'll hold off on the scolding," Reira-senpai teased but her eyes gleamed with amusement as she took in the sight of the slightly messy lab. "But seriously, did you almost blow the lab up, Nikka?"

Nikka-senpai rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out at her friend's playfulness. "It was just a small mistake. Nothing to worry about," she mumbled as tried to sound nonchalant despite her flustered state. "Am I right, Onoda-kun?"

This... Why am I suddenly in the middle of all this?

I chuckled, shaking my head at their playful banter.

"Should I tell her the truth, Nikka-senpai?" I acted oblivious as I scratched the back of my head.

Almost instantly, the girl exasperatedly exclaimed, "You're supposed to agree with me!"

This time, it was Reira-senpai's turn to laugh, her melodious giggle echoing around the room. "See, Nikka? That's how Ruki is. One moment he's on your side, the next he's playing dumb.

With her hips swaying naturally erotic, Reira-senpai walked over to pinch my cheeks before pulling me to her side.

I didn't resist and moved behind her, my arms locking around her navel.

The innocent Nikka-senpai went speechless as she watched the intimate scene unfolding in front of her. I felt a bit guilty but not too guilty to let go of Reira-senpai's waist.

"Hey. Who told you, you could hug me like this?" Reira-senpai questioned, swatting my hands away with a playful smack. But it was too light; it didn't even make me lose a grip. Somehow, despite the suddenness she didn't hate this kind of physical contact between us. "Reira, tell me, are you really not dating Onoda-kun yet? You two act so naturally together," Nikka-senpai chimed in, her curiosity piqued as she observed our playful exchange.

"Date? This cheeky junior wouldn't dare. He's just a natural flirt that not even me could faze." Reira-senpai winked, her voice dripping with sweetness as she leaned into my arms.

I don't know if she's serious about that answer but it made Nikka-senpai nod a few times as though contemplating about it. I felt like a sly fox who had just been caught by a rabbit.

In any case, since she's not stopping me from holding her, I'd savor this moment a bit longer. "So, senpai, I heard you went for an errand from your club advisor. Was it done?" I asked, changing the topic again to smoothly transition from whatever was happening. However, with the two of us acting like a couple showing a public display of our affection in front of Nikka-senpai, it was definitely going to leave a different impression.

"Ugh. You two. Go get a room. I'll finish tidying up here." Nikka-senpai playfully huffed, her cheeks still flushed from our interaction as she stomped back to the lab area. She even pulled the partition, isolating herself there and leaving us in the main area of the clubroom.

Reira-senpai watched her back before pinching the back of my hand, "Alright, that's enough playing, Ruki. She's had enough shock for one day."

I chuckled and let go of her waist, "Fine, fine. But let me be clear, I didn't hug you to tease her."

Reira-senpai turned around and rolled her eyes at me, "I know you didn't. You're just a natural at this thing."

She then pulled a handkerchief from her lab coat pocket and wiped my face of the dirt that I had accumulated while helping clean up, "But really, it's been a while since this clubroom had been this lively. Your presence is quite the... catalyst."

"Am I now? Then I should keep visiting this club. Keep it a secret to Enomoto." I winked at her, earning another playful smack.

"You're really going to push his buttons. He's already worried that Nikka would gravitate towards you and then you go and visit the club unannounced. What do you think will happen if he finds out?"

"Let's see. He's going to tell me to stop?" I shrugged nonchalantly.

"You know what he'll do if he finds out you're here with Nikka and me, alone, in the Alchemy Clubroom." Reira-senpai smacked my arm playfully. "You're not just stirring the pot, you're practically throwing in a grenade."

"Is it not his fault for not watching over? Where is he anyway?" I retorted with a grin.

He would probably not care if I ended up getting closer to Reira-senpai but Nikka-senpai would be the deal-breaker. That's his childhood friend, after all. Maybe if the two girls didn't form a bond here, he'd tell this girl that she's already out of his protection.

Knowing that guy, that would be 80% accurate. But I wasn't planning to cross him yet. He could play lord over all the delinquents in the school but as long as he's keeping up with his words, I'd also try to look after Nikka-senpai for him.

"He's with Ichihara. I heard what you're doing with Kujou. To think that girl would change that much because of you... It's like watching a caterpillar turning into a butterfly," Reira- senpai said, a hint of admiration in her voice as she finished wiping my face. She then placed the handkerchief back into her pocket with a satisfied nod.

"I see. You're keeping up with the times, huh? I guess there's no secret I can keep from you anymore, senpai."

"You're still full of secrets. I don't even know the extent of your influence," Reira-senpai said while shaking her head.

I reached for her hand, squeezing it before pulling her closer, "Senpai, I can tell you everything if you want to know. I mean, if it's you, I don't mind letting you know. I want to get closer to you."

"Geez. It's fine. You don't have to tell me everything. It's enough for me that I can be someone you can lean on, Ruki." Reira-senpai maturely replied, placing a hand on my cheek as she leaned closer. "But you should always be careful. Not just with your relationships but also with your surroundings. Do you know how many boys are cursing you behind your back for having so many girls around you?"

Hearing the concern in her voice, I could tell she was looking out for me. It's a bit surprising but also reassuring. "I know. I'll deal with them when the time comes. They're just kids with no idea of what's going on."

"Kids, huh? You're really seeing yourself as a mature one, aren't you?" Reira-senpai's voice was filled with playful sarcasm as she leaned closer to whisper into my ear.

"I won't dare claim I'm already mature, Reira-senpai. Just not naively ignorant. I know what I'm doing and the implications of it. I'm just glad you're still not turning your back on me." I whispered back, our faces mere inches apart.

The warmth of her breath tickled my ear and I couldn't help but pull her back in my embrace again. This time, with the two of us facing each other, my hands around her waist and hers

around my neck.

"Why will I turn my back on you? I've seen how much you do things. And frankly, I enjoy watching you handle all this," Reira-senpai breathed in as she clung to me tightly. "Don't forget, your paradise is here when you need comfort."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon reminding me of that, she pulled my head down to her chest, her breasts pressing firmly

against my face.

"Right. This is my paradise. But senpai, can I be the same for you?" I mumbled into the

warmth of her chest, feeling the steady rhythm of her heart beating against my cheek.

"Not so fast, cheeky brat. However... you know that you're the only guy I can be this comfortable around. You may be cheeky and perverted but at least, you're always true to yourself and you see me past my natural charm," Reira-senpai giggled, her voice a sweet whisper in my ear as she gradually pushed me deeper into her chest.

The warmth and comfort were soothing, I was slowly forgetting that I had a patrol to complete. The smell of her shampoo filled my nose, it was floral with a hint of something that reminded me of vanilla. It's like burying my face in a bouquet of roses. Her heartbeat was getting faster, I could feel it through her chest, and it was definitely not because of the

exertion of the hug.

"Just be a good junior for me now. If you become my paradise, I'm afraid I will have to keep you close to me at all times." She continued as she started caressing my hair.

I glanced up and replied with a mischievous grin, "I see. I never thought my Reira-senpai could be quite possessive as well."

"Who's your Reira-senpai? Cheeky brat!" She feigned annoyance but her eyes sparkled with amusement. "What if Nikka hears you?"

"Alright. I'll behave." I said before pushing my head back on her chest as we moved over to the sofa. This was definitely a comfortable position to be in and Reira-senpai didn't seem to mind it either. She even tightened her embrace around me, making me feel like I was in a

warm blanket.

We stayed like this for a while, the only sound filling the room was her steady heartbeat, the

occasional rustling of her clothes, and the activity of Nikka-senpai on the other side of the clubroom. It was peaceful. And I could tell Reira-senpai was also savoring this moment.
