Stealing Spree

Chapter 50: Devising a Plan with Mori(2)

"You're really a pervert. Not only you want Nanami. But me as well. What leeway?"

When she heard the word leeway, she took back the step she did earlier and stood firm in front of me again.

"I'd like to say I want you to be mine but that's not gonna work so just be mine when the two are together."

"Isn't that the same?"

"Huh? Didn't you hear me? Only when they are together. What are we doing here again?"

"To separate them and give both of us a chance."

When we're alone, I can then start stealing her then she will switch with Andou. Ah. This is nice. I can work on them side by side.

"See? Once we separated them then Andou will be mine and Ogawa will be yours."

"T-that… how will you do that?"

"I told you. I can't tell you yet. So will you agree?"

"L-let me think first."

Mori fell in thought. She might be thinking if what I said could be trusted. But since she really wanted to have a chance at Ogawa, she will agree.

"Take your time."

"You want me to be yours. Then, isn't it you who will benefit the most?"

"Why? I told you I won't do anything without your permission."

"Really?"

"Yes. Say, if I asked for a kiss from you, how will you answer?"

"No, you can't. I won't give you."

Right. I have to suffer like this though. But yeah, this is necessary. Sooner or later I can get her permission. And I can ask for more than just a kiss. Just thinking about it is already exciting enough. Ogawa wouldn't know that I'm working on the two girls who like him.

"See? That simple. Even if you're mine for that duration, if you don't allow it, I won't be able to do anything."

"Then how is this beneficial to you?"

"I'm up for that chance to be alone with you."

"Y-you…"

"What? You thought I would force you?"

"Isn't that the case?"

"Not really, no. I just want that time to let you feel how I really want you. And like Andou, I don't need you to like me too."

"Even if you want me. I like him so much that I only see myself with him."

But you're not Satsuki. Yours isn't that kind of deep love that could never break. True she might've liked him since they're childhood friends. Akane was like this to me but Mori only likes him and it's not love. Soon enough, if Ogawa and Andou started dating, she would give up.

"That's now my problem how to make you mine, isn't it?"

"Y-you're right."

"So. Will you accept?"

"I accept"

Nice. And finally, I got her hooked. Hmm. Andou better accept that suggestion. She's smart and scary so she will surely accept it. Her flaw is her kindness. She could just not care about their feelings but yeah, that allowed me to have these chances on both of them. Ah. I still need the names of the other harem members.

"Then to seal this agreement of us. Can I draw near you?"

"W-what? What will you do?"

"I just want to be near you. We will be like this, you know."

"I don't give you permission."

"You can't use that. That's only for when I will do something directly to you. Being near you doesn't fall in that category."

"Y-you're shameless, Onoda."

"I know. I just want you this much that I'm willing to do all this and even give you that leeway. Do you think I'll be delighted to see you with that Ogawa?"

I won't let him touch her. She's going to be mine. Well, that guy only wants Andou anyway, he will be kind to her but he won't see her as more than his childhood friend.

Damn. Now that I think of it, I'm like that bastard Ogawa before I realized how special Akane is to me. Always pushing her away. Ah. I'm a bastard as well.

"Y-you're right. You can come near."

"There. Ask Kikuchi to go back."

After getting her permission, I drew near her and whispered.

"What? Why?"

"I won't do anything without your permission. I just don't want to fall from your trap."

"Trap?"

"Don't play dumb. She'll enter this room soon and she will take photos of us, right? You'll make it look like I am assaulting you."

Right. That's her real purpose here. Not to call the teacher or ask for help. That girl, she's hiding a camera under her uniform, it was hanging on her neck.

When Mori heard that, her eyes widened, having her trap be seen through like that, she was bewildered.

"Y-you. How did you?"

"I know you're that type of schemer. And I can't let myself fall like that. So, will you do it or not?"

"Okay. I'll do it."

Mori went to the door and opened it slightly. I can see Kikuchi with a camera in her hands, ready to enter the room anytime.

She talked to her and after a while, the girl nodded and started to walk back to our classroom.

After she's gone. Mori turned her face back to me, she closed the door and leaned herself to it.

"You heard what I said to her, right? It's done."

"I need an insurance."

"What?"

"Tell me what our plan is."

"Only that?"

Well of course, the recording is still ongoing. I need your voice telling the whole plan that I devised. Then cut out the recording to only have that. Anyone that will hear it, especially Andou will know, the plan was cooked by you.

"Yes."

"After Kazuo confessed to Nanami, You and I will work together to separate them, giving us both the chance to be with each of them. Me to Kazuo and you to Nanami. There will be a definite reason that will allow us to do that."

"I see. That's enough. You don't have to include our own deal."

"Can I go now?"

"You can, but can you wait a bit?"

"Why?"

"Because…"

While my voice trailed off, I closed our distance, putting my hand on the door. I did a door slam instead of a wall slam to her. She flinched but there's nowhere she can step back.

"Y-you, you said you won't do anything to me without permission?"

"I'm not doing anything. I just want to be near you like this."

I lower my head to line it with hers and only a few centimetres away from each other. She immediately turned her face to the side to not meet my gaze and to not let me have the chance to kiss her.

"You're really shameless Onoda. Why are you doing this?"

"I just want you to know how I really want you, Mori."

I lowered my head to her exposed neck and started sniffing her scent. Ah. This girl, if Himeko earlier has that sweet scent, Mori has this flowery scent. I could sniff her all day. And this neck of hers, I'm holding myself back to not suck on it.

"Y-you. Why are you sniffing me?"

"I just want to know your smell Mori, you'll be mine as well. Hey, can you turn your face to me?"

"No. You'll kiss me if I did."

"I won't kiss you. Well. Not unless you give me permission."

"You really won't?"

"Have I touched you since we came here?"

Yes. I haven't even touched her since earlier. This is to give her the impression that I won't really do anything unless she permitted it.

"No."

"Then believe me. We're partners now. Working on our common goals."

"R-right. We're partners."

"So, you still don't trust me?"

"I do."

She then turned her face back and we stared at each other's eyes. We can now smell each other's breath. I can just move my head a bit and our lips will touch.

"See. I'm not doing anything. But since I have this chance, Can I kiss you?"

Mori closed her eyes, she must be thinking. And after a minute, her mouth opened.

"N-no."

Hearing that, I pulled back and stepped away from her.

"Ah. Too bad. I still can't have your permission. Then, let's go back."

Mori opened her eyes and saw me a few steps away from her. Seeing that, a sigh of relief escaped her mouth. She couldn't hide her flushed face though.

"You really didn't do anything."

"Like I told you, if you say no, then I won't."

For now, of course. I have to slowly make her accept. Put her in that kind of situation over and over, soon enough she will accept it if I ask. Look at how long she thought about it before she answered.

Mori went back first and I followed her right after. Halfway through, I checked my phone and Satsuki sent me a message.

"Pervert Ruki. You're with another girl again. Come to the women's restroom. 3rd cubicle."

This girl… She wanted me to come to that risky place? Err. It's still the 3rd period for other classes so maybe there's little risk.

Let's take this chance then. That girl. Did she dreamt of us again last night? And probably with a Sakuma add-on watching at our side.

"Mori, you go first. I have to go somewhere."

Mori turned her head back to me. Her face is still that red. Is she still thinking about that? That's a good sign.

"Okay."
