Stealing Spree

Chapter 389: Visiting the Basketball Club (2)

“Alright. You girls, stop eyeing the couple and go back to your seats. Onoda-kun, you’re allowed to observe our club today. Go and sit next to Satsuki-chan.”

Perhaps she thought that we’re already wasting time standing here and continuing to show our public display of affection, Eguchi-sensei hit the table with her binder, gaining everyone’s attention back to her.

Well, there’s also the possibility that it was to stop the others from continuing to ogle us and she most likely saw how Satsuki was somewhat uncomfortable.

“Is it fine for me to be here?” I asked. I thought of only seeing Satsuki to tell her the result of that advising session with Sakuma but she pulled me inside and now we already exposed our relationship to them.

“Onoda-kun. Coach’s words are absolute here. If she told you to join the club, you will join even if you’re a guy. Stop hugging there and bring that girlfriend of yours here.” The Club President and the Team Captain answered me with a smirk.

Looking at that expression, she’s certainly amused, especially at how Satsuki was acting today.

The other members also followed suit and urged me to bring Satsuki. Some even asked me to carry her if she didn’t want to walk.

However, when Satsuki heard that, the fire in her eyes ignited as she glared at those she could put down with just her glare. And instead of me bringing her to sit, she pulled on my arm and led me there.

One of the first years already put another chair next to Satsuki’s designated chair so there’s no backing out now.

As soon as we sat down, we’re still the center of attention.

This time, I finally got a chance to observe every member of the club properly.

Most of them were tall enough for the sport but there’s also those who were just enthusiasts who wanted to try it.

Nonetheless, like Satsuki, they’re all serious about this.

Although we’re still the center of attention at first, when Eguchi-sensei began their meeting, my existence in the room was soon forgotten as everyone in the room focused on their Coach.

Compared to when she was conducting the PE Class, the military-like Eguchi-sensei was more at ease here. She’s also not as strict and the strategy she’s trying to let the girls learn was being explained properly.

Although I was only told to observe, Eguchi-sensei would sometimes look in my direction as if she’s waiting for me to drop a comment on what she said or correct her.

Well, since this was the first time for me to be here, I kept my mouth shut despite those hints from Eguchi-sensei. Whenever her eyes would rest on me, I would only slightly shake or nod my head.

I guess this was also the reason why she let me observe this ‘ club meeting’.

Now that I think about it, isn’t she slowly becoming too reliant on getting a piece of advice from me? Although I’m all-in in helping her conduct her PE Class without anyone passing out from exhaustion, throwing a comment here might be taken as rude by the other members.

Nonetheless, listening to her speak about strategy and teaching these girls, I was also educating myself with it.

Well, it’s free knowledge. Even if it’s about playing basketball, I could learn something that could also be applied to another field.

At my side, Satsuki was also intently listening. Watching her being focused like this, it’s really showing some side that I would normally not see in the classroom or any other place.

After a few more explanations and impartation of knowledge, Eguchi-sensei ended that strategy meeting and told the girls to use the remaining time to do what they wanted to do before the allocated half of their club hours for practice arrived.

That meeting lasted for about 15 minutes. As soon as it ended, I stood up and bowed to the members of the Basketball Club and Eguchi-sensei, thanking them for the experience.

Noticing that I was about to leave, some of them called out and tried to stop me.

However, before they could do that, Satsuki blocked them before pulling me with her to leave the room.

Upon seeing that, those senior regular team members were amused and smiling at her reaction.

“Onoda-kun, you’re free to come again next time. It’s much better if Satsuki isn’t here. We’ll show you a good time.”

The Club President who goes by the surname Kawakami teasingly shouted. Naturally, even if she directed that to me, she wanted to see Satsuki react to it.

“Hey what are you saying…”

‘Shut up and watch.”

Another third-year senior who didn’t pick up that intention to tease Satsuki questioned her but was immediately shut down.

And Satsuki, who’s pulling me towards the door, looked back and glared at me, wordlessly telling me to decline.

Since it’s a chance to tease the girl, I turned around and answered Kawakami-senpai.

“I understand. As you can see, I have to go now. I also have a club to attend to after all. If there’s a next time, I will gladly accept senpai’s invitation. Once again, thank you for taking care of --”

Before I could finish my words, Satsuki put in a bit of force to pull me out of the room.

As soon as the giggling of those girls inside died down when the door closed behind us, Satsuki cupped my face and pinched my cheeks, “If you come here without me, expect a beating, alright?”

Although her words and the way she glared at me were filled with a threatening aura, I ended up laughing at her reaction which made the girl pinch my cheeks harder in annoyance.

“What’s funny, idiot?’

“Nothing. I just really find it adorable to see my Satsuki show signs of jealousy. Can you stop pinching my cheeks and kiss me instead?”

“Huh? No. You’re going to kiss me, not the other way around.”

“You didn’t deny it, huh? Is my Satsuki really jealous?”

“Shut up, idiot. Of course, I am. Knowing you, if any of them got your fancy, it’s not impossible for them to be your girl.” Satsuki honestly answered before turning her head sideways and clicked her tongue in annoyance. She also let go of my cheeks and crossed her arms as if she’s guarding herself to be hugged by me.

Well, she’s not wrong and that’s a definite possibility. However, with the time I spent there… no one took my fancy. Even that Kawakami-senpai. I only rode her in an attempt to tease Satsuki.

“Although I couldn’t deny that, you can rest assured that none took my fancy. Besides, I was more focused on you and well, listening to Eguchi-sensei’s lesson.”

Returning the favor by cupping her cheeks and pinching them lightly, I then tiptoed slightly to reach her lips, ignoring that anytime, someone might open that door we exited from.

And before Satsuki could say something contrary to what she really wanted to say, I locked her lips in another kiss before whispering in a slightly erotic tone, “Is the Locker Room empty? I miss my Satsuki…”

Understanding my intention, the girl grabbed me by my collar and returned another kiss, this time, her tongue moved out to deepen it, conveying that… like me, she’s thinking the same thing.

At this point, although we appeared to be fighting, the way we continued to exchange kisses would naturally say otherwise.

“Pervert. It won’t be soon. They will go there to change… Instead of that…” Satsuki paused for a while as she’s probably thinking of another place where we could be alone. “There’s the Shower Room. No one will be using it at this time…”
