Stealing Spree

What is dominance? It is when you can do anything you want against the other party. They’re free to feel that they’re being wronged but at the end of the day, they’ll have no other choice but to grit their teeth and give in. It can result in the birth of a grudge but what can the dominated party do? Nothing. Unless they grow the courage to rebel, they’ll continue to be exploited.

This time, I am exercising a portion of that dominance over the two, knowing full well that they will never be able to refuse. That’s unless they’ll forgo the thought of keeping their remaining juniors away from my bastardly hands.

Not that I have any plans for it. I’d rather pick Umi and Sumire than the two but well, that’s another topic in and of itself.

In any case, planting that possibility in their heads would be enough to have them take action.

And so, continuing on my parade to get them on board with my request, I narrowed my eyes and subjected Tadano to my malicious gaze as I stated the obvious that he was probably refusing to believe.

“Come on. Don’t make that face. It’s not like you’re missing out if you accept it. Let me tell you something. Nina is getting the hots for you, Tadano. You should really consider her. Chances like this are hard to come by.”

The guy visibly went rigid and funnily enough, he appeared to be choking on the truth. His face even gradually turned purple.

If the girls saw him like this, they’d probably offer water for him to drink.

Really, this guy really has some serious issues.

In any case, I’m not done yet. Switching my focus to the glorified cuck who’s the one most likely to rebel, I opened my mouth at the same time as I reached for his shoulder to keep in place.

“And Ogawa. You’re aware of it, aren’t you? You’re not as dumb as you portray yourself to be. Someone still likes you. Will you once again let her slip out of your hands? You’re one lucky guy to be surrounded by girls and yet...”

Instead of finishing my sentence, I shook my head disappointedly to further emphasize the point of how much he missed out.

I then tapped his shoulder a few times as though I am his buddy generously reminding him of his shortcomings.

Of course, I was far from that, for I was the menace who turned his colorful rom-com world upside down.

And whether he liked it or not, there was nothing he could do to me.

Even if he miraculously found the balls to stand up against me at this moment, his only choice was to swallow the humiliation and act according to my suggestion.

With that out of the way, I stepped in between them before continuing inside.

I didn’t need to look behind me to check if they were following. It’s already a done deal, after all.

When I started making my way to my seat, Nina, who’s probably still reeling from the hilarity of my statement earlier laughingly addressed me, “Onoda-senpai, have you picked out your type?”

“Oh. I sure did. Wanna hear about it? You have to help me clean my neck though. I’ll surely be beheaded by Nami.”

And not just Nami. All of my girls are all staring daggers at me. I might even be chopped to pieces if that’s really the reason I talked to Tadano and Ogawa.

Besides, even without me telling them, my girls are smart enough to understand my intention.

“Puhahaha. At least you’re aware of it. What about you Tadano-senpai?”

Yep. Unlike Tadano, this girl knows her game. Even if she could also guess that it was not the content of our conversation, she used that to propel herself back to Tadano’s side. Whether he answered it or not wouldn’t be an issue.

Mami, on the other hand, was still pouting at me. I returned a smile for that before continuing on my steps, squeezing through the small space between their knees and the table to reach my designated seat.

When Ogawa entered her vision, the girl copied Nina and wagged her tail at the idiot.

They’re already fulfilling their purpose. That’s good.

“I bet you did something devious again, Ruu,” Nami whispered to me as soon as I sat down.

“I think devious is an understatement. They looked soulless.” Saki added before squeezing closer to me.

“You two. Do I look like I have a horn on top of my head?”

Yep. They both nodded quickly before laughing merrily.

Likewise, the other girls, whether verbal or not, all expressed the same thoughts to me.

Izumi glared at me like the old times but in the end, she reached for my nose to give me another pinch. I grabbed her arm and pulled her closer.

With Mami and Nina’s attention fully focused on the two, I sneaked in a kiss which immediately tamed my lovely fake delinquent.

Hina tried to copy Izumi but she became bold enough to lean against Nami to reach me. Kikuchi was baffled at that sight but that girl could only watch while sipping on her drink.

I mean, there’s nothing she could do, after all.

Then, the two first-timers in this kind of establishment paused their continued fascination at the blinking lights coming from the huge screen at the front to take a jab at me. Unfortunately, unlike Izumi and Hina, it would be noticeable if they stood up and charged at me.

They’ll have their chances later. And if they can’t, I’ll go to them myself.

Arisa could only show her dissatisfaction at the rightmost corner though. Because next to her was Umi. She’s the one taking care of the girl as if she’s her long-lost sister.

Thankfully, Umi didn’t look uncomfortable at all. Nonetheless, it’s still a mystery what’s in her head.

I guess I should pay some attention to her later. Not to scare her but simply to ensure we’re still good. I can’t have my cute junior be afraid of me, right? With everything that she’d seen, there was no doubt that her head would be full of questions just that... she couldn’t voice that out, either because of her shy disposition or her lack of courage to do so. That’s another difference between her and Sumire.

If that fanatic was the one who came with us here, I doubt she’d be able to stay on her toes seeing me surrounded by girls that are not her Chii-chan-senpai. On top of that, since my revelation yesterday would still be on her head, it would be quite funny to see her reaction.

Anyway, with all of us finally inside, the celebration soon began.

And I started it off with a passionate kiss on the birthday celebrant as soon as the opportunity arose.

Then, the girls who were also excited to sing began fiddling on the controller, inputting their choices of songs, uplifting the already jubilant mood in the room.

We only have an hour and a half in this room. We better get the value of our money.

Furthermore, the food that we ordered downstairs was soon delivered to our table. It’s an assortment and of course, we didn’t forget a cake for the birthday celebrant.

Even if it’s not a legitimate birthday cake, Saki’s happiness was fully expressed, thanking everyone for this occasion.

With this, the matter of Taku had been further forgotten in our heads.
