Stealing Spree

When morning arrived, I woke up from Chisato-nee-san tapping my face. It was still dark outside and the wisp of sunshine had just started rising from the west.

As it took me a while before I managed to shake off my drowsiness, my frivolous cousin took that chance to playfully fondle my cheeks. Her eyes flickered with elation.

Yeah. The first thing she wanted to do in the morning was to dote on me.

Good thing I didn’t mistake her for one of my girls or I would’ve pulled her back to my side and climbed on top of her to use her body as my special pillow.

With half-lidded eyes, I silently stared at her, taking in her great figure. She’s still in her nightwear so… it’s hard to take my eyes off of her.

“Good morning?” I greeted her with slight difficulty. My face was still cupped between her palms. “Why are you up so early, nee-san?”

“I have to go soon, Ruki. Your older sister is a busy person.”

“Hmm? I don’t recall work starts at dawn.”

“Yes, it doesn’t. However, I had to clear my schedule last night because you told me so, remember?”

“Oh… Did I get you into trouble?”

“No. No. No… Nothing like that. It’s only a few papers that I need to review for approval. I left them on my table at home. You see, it would be rude if I brought my work here. Furthermore, last night was special.“

This… Even if she said no, I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty. She only asked me for dinner last night and yet, I had her clear her entire schedule. And she didn’t even hesitate to do so…

“Gee… Erase that frown. There’s nothing to worry about.” Chisato-nee-san reassured me.

Once again, she continued fondling my cheeks as she giggled in delight. It’s like she is babying me. Her fondness for me was really at its maximum. If I can see her stats, my intimacy with her will already be at 100 points.

“I still feel bad, nee-san. How can I make it up to you?”

She immediately turned me down.

“You don’t have to. I woke you up because of my selfishness. I don’t want to leave without telling you.”

… Why did that sound like something I would say? Must be because of our relationship, huh?

Being brought under her firm gaze which seemed to deter me from arguing anymore, I could only nod at her.

Seconds later, she beamed in delight before standing up.

I watched her walk to the corner of the room, pick up the clothes she was wearing when she arrived last night, and continued to the door.

Before she left the room, she looked at me one more time and smiled beautifully before mouthing a few words, “See you soon, Ruki.”

The option to follow after her and escort her outside passed in my head but she probably didn’t want me to do that.

Chisato-nee-san truly respected my relationship with my girls. Even if she acted clingy last night, she wouldn’t want to see me making a choice between them.

Haa… I guess I’ll see her one last time before we leave for home later.

With that thought in mind, I lay back down to bed and cuddled Yue who also woke up at some point in our conversation.

Two hours later, with the sunshine spilling through her window, I woke up with the three girls who slept at the next unit already sharing the bed with us.

They must have slipped in at some point after I dozed off again.

The same as our usual mornings in our bedroom, we started our day with an intimate exchange and tending to the side effect of the miraculous tea.

It took us more than an hour as we savored every second of it unlike how rushed we were at the festival last night.

Following that, Yua and Akane volunteered to make our breakfast while I did my set of exercises with Miho and Yue.

On the dining table, the girls talked about Chisato-nee-san. And then they asked me if something happened between us.

I let Yue answer that which made the other three more curious about how I feel for the girl.

After taking a shower together where we washed off our accumulated sweat from our bodies, we prepared for the day.

The recording was over and the tickets for our train home were already sent by Kaoru-san last night. Which means, we have this morning free.

Since it’s a school day, it will be hard for us to walk outside. The police officers will keep hounding us as to why we’re not at school.

Due to that, we decided to just spend the remaining time inside the unit.

We watched morning shows while talking about the future of their collaborative music.

As it wasn’t finalized yet, Akane and Miho were still feeling jittery despite the praises they received from Director Iwanami yesterday.

Yua, on the other hand, could only squeeze by my side because it’s still too early to talk about the music video.

At around 9 am, Kaoru-san showed up at the unit, briefing the other three about the recording.

Looks like she already met up with the Director and Chisato-

nee-san so she went straight to saying that there’s no more problem anymore and it’s already set to release in two weeks at the earliest.

Then, she pulled Yue aside and she informed her about her schedule for the day.

While her morning was free. She had some appointments after lunch. I do wish I could go with her. However, Kaoru-san didn’t even allow me to suggest it.

Due to that, Yue weakly crawled back to my side and curled up in my embrace. She’s taking the chance to recharge her ‘Ruki Energy’ while she still has time.

How silly…

But can I even reject her? Of course not.

Upon seeing her acting like that, Kaoru-san could only shake her head before excusing herself.

Most likely, she didn’t want to disturb us anymore or she still had work to do.

In any case, it’s quite noticeable that she looked more refreshed today than yesterday.

When I asked her about it, she said she had a good sleep.

Whether that’s the result of my interference yesterday or not, it’s still too early to say but I still reminded her to take her time.

I’ve already started attempting to cure her condition, there’s no reason for me to stop now. Even if it would annoy her in the long run, I’d have to see it to the end.

Following Kaoru-san’s departure, I took the time to check on my girls back home. I timed it to the break of the second period so I wouldn’t disturb them while in their class.

Nothing important happened apart from Ichihara Jun’s followers circling our classroom.

They’re probably looking for me.

When I checked on Marika, she said Ichihara Jun showed up at her door again last night, inviting her to dinner at their manor.

Yeah… It could be a suggestion from Ichihara-san’s husband. Since they thought I was already cowering from somewhere, he probably thought it was a chance for the pompous idiot to take her back from me.

Too bad. Even if he accompanied Ichihara Jun there, they got stopped by her bodyguards at the entrance.

She used the same excuse that she wasn’t feeling well.

And this morning, Ichihara Jun tried to ambush her by offering to take her to school.

She declined again, however, her loyal bodyguards reminded her that it would be hard for her to decline next time. Because in the first place, she’s still officially betrothed to Ichihara Jun. It would reflect badly on the Kujou Family.

Yeah. She’s still in a difficult situation.

In any case, I sent a message to her not to worry. Starting tomorrow, I’ll show up at her house and go to school with her.

That’s a patchwork solution and I will definitely be in conflict with her bodyguards but so what? I will hide her in our house if they try to stop me.
