Stealing Spree

As quick as lightning, Setsuna-nee separated from me before the door fully opened to reveal the two. Furthermore, the way she readjusted herself on the seat, acting like she never moved from there put me in awe. It’s like magic. Her face also magically returned to normal while her pair of apple-red ears was neatly covered up by her hair.

Because of that, when Juri and Satsuki stepped inside the room, the sight that welcomed them was the two of us sitting at both ends of the couch.

Still, despite not finding anything amiss, the two girls both looked like they were expecting something. It’s obvious. They intentionally delayed their arrival. If they didn’t plan this, it should be Juri who’d show up to pick me up.

Although I didn’t hear what exactly happened from Setsuna-nee considering I never brought up a question on our way here and her responses were minimal before she asked me to come sit next to her, I still got a gleam of why this happened.

Juri separated from Setsuna-nee when they went to see the Dean. That’s the reason she showed up from that direction. As for how Juri convinced her to pick me up, that’s a mystery that I’d probably hear from them.

“It’s nice to see you two. I was already thinking of preparing a tea for us if you still took your time outside,” I playfully said, dispelling whatever awkwardness remaining in the room. I also put on a welcoming smile to the two girls which made them focus on me rather than Setsuna-nee.

Well, I guess that’s all I can do to help at the moment. Given that Setsuna-nee retreated, pretending as though nothing happened before their arrival, she wasn’t prepared to show that to them yet. Or rather, she possibly had no idea how to explain herself to them. She’s holding me tightly, after all.

Satsuki shook her head, her lips stretching into a meaningful smirk.

“Sorry, Ruki. We made a detour somewhere.”

And that was Juri’s response to me as the two of them made their way to our direction.

She’s being truthful by that. And there’s possibly a purpose for that detour... Informing the other girls, maybe? Thinking about it, despite going ahead of Setsuna-nee to pick up Satsuki, we never ran into them. They possibly stayed longer in the girls’ area. And on their way here, they also stopped by to see Shizu, Haruko and the others.

Well, there’s no point in me speculating about that. If I asked, they’d definitely inform me about it.

Replying to Juri, Setsuna-nee voiced a complaint, “What’s that detour? You didn’t tell me about it. Like Onoda-kun said, we spent a long time waiting here.”

“Come on, Setsu. I told you about it. We’re going to see if some of the others wanted to come too. Unfortunately, no one accepted.”

Alright. That’s a straight up lie coming from Juri. She even made it obvious to me by winking.

On her side, Satsuki was about to back her up.

“Nee-san, I suggested it. Sorry.”

“O-oh! So, it’s your idea. Did you want to help us out? I’m proud of you.”

Almost instantly, Setsuna-nee’s tone changed, slipping back to being the doting older sister. Her lips even stretched into a pleasant smile, something I failed to see from her while we’re alone. She also stood up from her seat, receiving Satsuki. She tiptoed and patted her little sister’s head which fully showcased the difference in their heights.

On the other hand, my girl bent her knees, helping her older sister out before she fully squeezed into her embrace.

Yeah. She’s fully into the act of an obedient little sister.

Well, it might not be an act. She’s also that affectionate with me, after all. It’s not a strange sight to me.

Still, that didn’t change the fact that she reinforced Juri’s lie. Taking a glance at her, I caught her staring at the sisters warmly. And then, her eyes landed on me as she started traversing the distance separating us..

I expected her to take this opportunity to embrace me as well but she subverted it.

Juri pushed me to the side, taking the corner space for herself. She then looked up at me with an expectant gaze. Most likely, she’s hoping to listen to the update regarding my current situation with Setsuna-nee.

Yes. They did not see us in a daring position. However, she’s quite sure that it’s impossible that we spent our time here without doing anything at all. At the very least, she’s expecting a little progress after what happened during the day.

Since Setsuna-nee wasn’t looking yet, I pinched Juri’s cheeks at the same time as I whispered the update she’s expecting me to share.

“We had a fruitful talk but she’s still troubled by me. I suggested for her to confide in you or Satsuki.”

Yep. It’s summarized enough to the point that there’s not much information there. Nonetheless, her lips stretched into a satisfied grin.

That confirmed that they intentionally delayed their return.

Moments later, Juri took the opportunity to push my head down to her springy softness as she once again showered me with praises.

Even though Setsuna-nee could turn around at any moment, I don’t think I can say no to being doted on by Juri. Before I knew it, I was already hugging her as my head continued to burrow into her chest.

Luckily, Satsuki got Setsuna-nee fully occupied...

Thinking about it, they shared the same trait... Setsuna-nee’s praise was solely reserved for her little sister whereas Juri would always find a way to praise me regardless of reason. That’s a little different but they’re still similar.

I guess they rubbed off that trait on each other.

A minute or so later, Juri released me from her embrace and the sisters moved to take the space next to us.

With Satsuki sitting next to me, our current seating arrangement became similar to how it was earlier in that mini-garden; Setsuna-nee and Juri were both on the corner, sandwiching us.

And after another minute wherein Satsuki squeezed into my side, taking every chance she could get to cuddle with me, they finally addressed the reason why they brought us here.

“So, that’s it. Is that clear? You can ask us if you have any questions later. Setsu and I have to go out for a while. We still have to show our faces there and convey the Dean’s words to the professor tasked to supervise on this side.”

Juri ended her explanation there and stood up with Setsuna-

nee.

In summary, I was right with my guess earlier. In order to bring us here, they volunteered for a task that no one was taking. We’re going to scour both hills to ensure that no students would wander off and get lost in the woods.

Even though we were free to spend our long break wandering and doing anything we wanted, the management of Akimitsu Hill naturally put an effort into ensuring that exploring the dark, unlit places of the hill was prohibited. It’s a prevention for accidents that may or may not happen as a result of carelessness.

Of course, it won’t be within our scope to police the students who will wander off into the woods where accidents are prone to happen. We’re only supposed to warn and tell them to go back. If they don’t listen to us then we just have to report it to the professors or the employees of the hill whose job is to ensure every guest’s safety.

Anyway, that’s that. Juri didn’t say anything else. Just that, her eyes focused on me, conveying her similar desire to also be alone with me like Satsuki. I should expect that she’s going to make that happen later on their return.

In contrast, Setsuna-nee dished out numerous reminders along the lines of ‘Onoda-kun, take care of Satsu-chan.’, ‘Do not cause trouble while we’re away. We won’t be long.’ and lastly, ‘Behave yourselves, ’.

Even though she didn’t say it clearly, we could understand what she was trying to convey.

We’re going to be alone in this cabin. And with her imagination running wild considering she already saw us in bed once, she’s possibly imagining us doing something naughty in her.

Yeah. She’s not wrong to worry about that.

What is this situation if not a golden opportunity? Right?

Moreover, with Setsuna-nee being too obvious with what she’s trying to convey there, she’s just stoking the fire of our desires for each other. At the moment, I could already sense Satsuki being restless.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she pounced on me as soon as they stepped out of that door... No. it’s not just her. I’m also in the same state...

We’re a couple of perverts who love each other so much that we won’t hesitate to grab every opportunity. Especially because it would be hard for the same opportunity to come by within the duration of this camping trip...
