Stealing Spree

“I’m wondering why Ayase-chan is still awake. So, this is the reason, huh? Onoda-kun, you shouldn’t be in here at this time.”

A few seconds after I was carefully guided inside the tent of the one who called me over, one of the girls sharing the same tent spoke in a hushed voice.

It was dark so it was difficult to properly see her face but pinpointing her eyes which appeared to be focused on me was a dead giveaway.

Right. The girl who called me over was none other than Aya. Her soft voice traveled to my position without alerting any of the Camp managers standing by. But then again, it effectively worked in our favor because, unlike the ones from the other side where three were tasked to patrol, the two Camp Managers watching over at this side were seated sitting somewhere close to their own tent and were currently having their backs turned. They’re pretty carefree with their duty unlike the two women guarding the entrance.

Of course, if we blundered by making a noise that could be picked up by their ears, we’d be doomed. It was our fortune that I successfully moved over here.

Anyway, based on the context of what the girl uttered, she witnessed everything my girl did. Starting from not sleeping, staking the outside of their tent, and calling out to me as soon as she spotted my arrival.

I turned my head to the girl who let me in. And sure enough, she was feeling ashamed.

I grabbed her hand and pulled her close to me before replying to the other girl. Naturally, I also made sure to lower the volume of my voice.

“Sorry, Wakaba. Can you turn a blind eye and pretend that I’m not here? As you can see... I sneaked in for this girl.”

Upon saying that, my arm hooked around Aya’s body which further brought her closer to me. She eventually had to lean on my chest as her arms wrapped around my body.

She probably wanted to apologize to her friend so after I rubbed her back, urging her to do so.

Although it was close to complete darkness inside here, the few seconds that passed already made me adapt quite a bit so I could somehow observe the interior of their tent.

Their group consisted of three people. Kashiwagi who took up the right side was already covered in her blanket, sleeping soundly. Wakaba, whom I just spoke to, was located on the left side. She’s already lying down on her futon but at the moment, she held herself slightly to look in our direction by using her elbow as a foundation. As for Aya’s futon, it’s in the middle. She probably picked that so she could prevent disturbing the other two. Unfortunately, she had no idea that Wakaba would still be awake.

“Uhm, I’m sorry Koyo... I should’ve told you about this...” Aya’s tone was sincere and she even bowed in Wakaba’s direction.

Honestly, Wakaba would be justified to chase me out if she ever decides to do so. This tent was supposed to be their safe and private space. Having Aya sneak me in like this without informing her or Kashiwagi was morally wrong.

But will she do that?

“Yes. You should’ve told me, Ayase-chan... We won’t reject it anyway. And with that guy being as shameless as he is... it’ll just be frustrating to turn him away.”

It’s still difficult to see her expression but knowing the girl and how she resolved her awkwardness around me – evident by accepting my invitation to dance earlier – turning a blind eye for now was possible for her. Or not just possible, she wouldn’t want to ruin this night for us.

“I know I can count on you, Wakaba. I owe you one.” I playfully said while patting Aya’s head.

The girl clicked her tongue but knowing that it could draw attention to us, she immediately covered her mouth, dropped back to her futon, and turned away from us.

Aya watching all that looked up at me with a complicated look on her face. She’s probably feeling guilty for them.

That’s why I continued consoling her by patting her head before gradually moving us to her futon. It’s wide enough for us to cuddle on it and with the blanket covering us, the girl immediately melted in my embrace.

Honestly, my plan to sneak in was only up until here. Like I was thinking about earlier, it was another hurdle to sneak inside their tents. But for Aya to be waiting for me, they must have been expecting me.

And sure enough, while we were enjoying each other’s warmth, I listened to Aya narrating how my girls held a small meeting among them on their way back here.

My plan to sneak in wasn’t hidden from them. And obviously, they’re also aware of the difficulty of it. There’s a possibility that I might fail in bypassing the surveillance. Due to that, they pooled their ideas on how to assist me in case I showed up here.

“I see... So, that’s why you called out to me. Sachi told you about that path.”

“Un. Ours is the nearest to the woods so... I volunteered to keep an eye out.”

Does that mean Sachi joined their ‘small meeting’? Or maybe Rae brought her in. I don’t know. But thanks to her, I’m here now.

“You did well. But Aya, are you not sleepy?”

“I kept myself awake. I miss you, Ruki...”

She shook her head and then lifted her head to kiss me. I reciprocated the gesture and more. Of course, we toned it down a little for Wakaba’s sake. If we lost control of ourselves here, it’d definitely be awkward.

“Mhm... I miss you too. Sorry, that was a thoughtless question. If not for you, I’d find it difficult to find the right tent where you’re staying.”

After savoring that kiss, I replied while caressing her hair and back, slotting her further in my embrace. At this point even if someone opened that tent, it would be impossible to think that two people are hiding under this blanket. My girl was perfectly and comfortably tangled with me.

“Don’t be sorry. I wasn’t confident that I could stay awake longer if I waited for another half hour.”

Ah. I could imagine how tiring it was. Staking outside and staring into the darkness.

“Right. You did well, Aya.” I praised her, prompting the girl to giggle in satisfaction.

Seeing that, I found myself unable to hold back from kissing her again. And this time, we slowly transitioned to our usual, passionate mood. I could feel her body heating up further as she started squirming in my embrace, wanting to feel more of me. Likewise, my naughty hands also couldn’t stop themselves from caressing her.

Before long, my lips were already drawing a line on her neck while my hand that was just caressing her back had already found its way to her front, cupping her lovely chest.

Aya held onto my nape, pushing my head deeper into her. Her legs became more entangled with mine as our lower bodies started rubbing against each other.

Although I did say that this could be awkward for Wakaba who might hear us if we ever became lost in our passion, it’s just too impossible to resist the temptation, especially when my girl was also acting the same.

Well, we just have to be very careful, right?

In any case, while we were in this situation, Aya continued filling me in about the contents of their plan. How I could approach the other tent and find out if they were still awake. They derived a specific noiseless signal. But well, I could only try that later.

For now, the majority of my head was occupied by the thought of this girl.
