Stealing Spree

Leaving the room before the two, I made sure that whoever's following me would not try to check that room.

After walking past my suspect, I intentionally stopped for a moment, went back to check and acted as though I locked the room from the outside.

Following that, I walked all around the school while wearing the armband of the Disciplinary Officer. Let's just say, I acted like a patrol officer, ready to call out students with violations from the school regulations.

I also observed every student I passed by. Some looked on cautiously but most of the girls would still look at me in admiration.

Nonetheless, I kept a serious face which effectively warded them away from trying to interact with me.

Doing that for at most two laps around the school, although not as fruitful as I hoped it would be, it made me become aware that those guys from the delinquent group were all throwing me unkind looks.

Furthermore, the guy I suspected continued following me. He probably thought I didn't notice because throughout my patrol, I never looked over my shoulder.

"Onoda-kun. Aren't you a hard worker?"

I was about to return to the Club Building and wait for Itou's message when someone called out to me in a familiar tone.

Turning my head to the speaker, I saw Nakanishi-senpai making her way towards me. Her lips stretched into a small smile.

Looking at how her hips swaying alluringly at every step she made, this girl was definitely a natural temptress. Furthermore, all heads instantly turned even just from the sound of her voice.

But wait... Why is she already out here? The 7th period isn't over yet.

"Senpai, I take that this isn't a chance encounter, am I right? I'm hoping that it is."

"What do you think?" Her lips curved further and turned into a mischievous smirk. Just from that, her attractiveness went up another level.

It's really dangerous to be around her. I managed to resist it last week but I might lose to her if this encounter continued.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"That's better. It saves me a few brain cells to be used on making up a lie. Care to walk with me?"

"Sure. Let me take this off first."

Since my 'patrol' was already over, I put the armband back in my pocket before walking to her side.

Given that she admitted that this wasn't a coincidence at all, I could only put out a guess that it's connected to what I was about to face. And surely, it's Enomoto who put her to this task again.

Makes me wonder what was really their relationship.

A few minutes later, we passed by the Club Building and continued to the same place where I met her last week.

Furthermore, just a minute after Nakanishi-senpai showed up, I noticed that the guy following me disappeared. Either he was ordered to stop or he just lost us.

In any case, I already memorized his face, albeit temporarily. I'd probably be able to recognize him in at most a few days.

Since I was still waiting for Itou's message which would tell me that they're already there waiting for me, I kept half of my focus on my phone while the other half observed the girl walking next to me.

Even if it's just her side frame, she still looked gorgeous. I even found myself having the urge to take her photo. But she definitely wouldn't like it, definitely.

Am I getting interested in her? Perhaps. That's how tempting she was. Nonetheless, I could still keep my wits with me. And just a thought of any of my girls could instantly reset it back to default.

So, in short. Her charms might be dangerous to any guy but I have the best neutralizer for it that can zero back my 'charmed meter'.

If anything, I wanted to be interested in her naturally, like how it went with all of my girls.

Anyway, last week,she was kind enough to warn me not to get involved. Yet, she's here once again to deliver another message. If she's someone that shouldn't be touched,then why did that guy keep on sending her to me?

Furthermore, judging from the way our conversation went, that was the first time he sent her to become a messenger.

Is he testing something? I don't know. Unless I get another encounter with that guy then all I will be able to come up with are speculations.

A while later, Nakanishi-senpai turned her head to me and said with a rather disappointed tone

"Onoda-kun, if you keep staring at me like that, I'll be forced to think that you're now the same as everyone."

She caught me. Well, that's natural. We're walking side by side and without any conversation going on between us, our focus was definitely diverted to observing everything around us.

And that's why I can say the same to her.

"Hmm? Then what about you, senpai? Is stealing glances at me considered normal and without any meaning?"

"Girls have that right, don't you think so? But you're perceptive. That's nice."

My counter was calmly received by her. She even made tempting gestures such as placing a finger on her lower lip and winking at me.

Surely, that one's deliberate and not a natural reaction.

She's turning her charms as a weapon, huh?

"Probably not as much as you, senpai. And boys should also get some leeway, right? I mean, we're always drawn to something or someone beautiful. If it became a crime to stare, every man would be jailed. Perhaps, most women as well."

"Oh, you... You win that one. But let me say something first."

"Alright. I'm listening."

At this point, we're already approaching the Soccer Club's clubroom. Although there were already some students nearby, the two of us ignored them and continued making our way to that hangout spot with a makeshift throne behind the structure.

I perked my ears up and waited for whatever she's going to say.

"Onoda-kun, I feel comfortable talking to you. You're the type who won't mince words. And your flattery is just the right amount... That's why I hope you can reconcile with them and be at peace."

"You know what? I'm also hoping for a peaceful resolution. A conflict for me is more of a hassle than a problem."

"Someone is confident."

"Yeah. You can say that. I can try playing it nice but I'm also someone who won't back down if challenged."

"I see. But Onoda-kun, we both know you're kind of special. Otherwise, he won't be this fixated on you."

"Am I? I apologize but I'm just a simple guy who got into the good graces of President Asakura, that's all there is to me."

Upon hearing that, Nakanishi-senpai chuckled as though she just heard a joke.

And having arrived at our destination, she stopped her steps and faced me.

She crossed her arms, letting that eye-catching mound of hers settle on it. That's not an intimidating pose. Rather, it's her natural standing posture.

Seeing how I was waiting for her response, a natural smile spread on her lips before saying...

"And that's why you're special. I never heard of someone else who has been put in her good graces. You're the first."

Alright. This time, she got me there.
