Stealing Spree-Novel

I’m aware. There would be no end to men trying to hit on my girls. They’re all beautiful in their own right, after all. There’s no solution to it.

It’s just my own selfish decision to teach them a lesson.

Those guys clearly had no chance with them but since I saw them making my girls uncomfortable, I wouldn’t let it pass.

After waiting until the girls disappeared from my sight, I turned around and retraced my steps back to that place.

In less than three minutes and after a few turns, I spotted the five idiots. They looked like wet ducklings tottering about, most likely searching for our traces. Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

The two who got swept by Akane and Sena were holding their hips, their faces grimacing. They got hit by the edge of the table. Must’ve hurt a lot. And due to that, they’re slowing down the other three.

That’s probably the reason why they’re not behind us.

Seeing as they hadn’t noticed me, I intentionally approached them. They’re taller than me so I stopped my feet at quite a distance, removing the need to raise my head.

“Are you looking for us? Are you not embarrassed enough yet?” I asked them while sporting a mocking expression to immediately set their fury ablaze.

The five immediately glared at me, their noses flaring in anger. However, because of our current distance, they couldn’t just throw their pathetic arms against me.

“Well, this is great as well. I don’t have to look for you, five idiots.” I added. “Won’t you follow me?”

Upon saying that, I turned around and walked away. I’m confident that they’re going to follow me. If not then I would be extremely disappointed at them.

I heard the insults they started hurling at me. It’s mostly the same anyway so I didn’t even bother trying to understand most of it. There’s also no point in returning an insult. I would let my fist do that for me.

10 minutes later, five bodies writhed in pain in front of me. One of them was even calling for his mother to save him from it.

I was still a little merciful anyway, I didn’t damage their annoying mugs that much. However, it would surely be a challenge for them to stand up and go home.

Since they’re so easy to provoke, some of the ideas I bothered to think to have them follow me were unused.

I crouched down, picked up a fallen twig of a nearby tree, and poked their cheeks to force them to look at me.

“No hard feelings. You all just got unlucky to be caught by me trying to hit on my girls. You see, I’m overprotective of them. If I see you again next time, be sure to steer clear of our path or this will definitely happen again. In fact, I’m now daring you to do it again…”

I had no idea if they would understand that but… that’s it. I said my piece.

From what I gathered before I pummeled them down earlier, my first guess was correct. They’re really students from a nearby college.

They’re only out today to eat at that place. However, they couldn’t resist the urge of striking up a conversation with a group of beautiful girls.

That’s understandable reasoning. But still, it’s unacceptable for me.

According to them, there were others before them who also tried their luck… They’re just truly unlucky to be the ones caught by me.

Maybe not unlucky, they deserved it. Remembering how uncomfortable Yukari and Aika were or how annoyed Miho and Miyako were earlier, I gave them another set of kicks before leaving that alley.

Elizabeth was also about to lose her temper earlier. Thankfully, she managed to restrain herself or else… everyone in there would be baffled by the words that would leave my Cursed Princess’ mouth.

Anyway, that’s a great way to warm my body up before taking up the role of an instructor again. I’d surely get nagged by my girls but it’s a small sacrifice.

Setting up an example for men like those, it’d slowly but surely create a deterrent for them.

By the time I arrived at the Boxing Gym, Coach Ayu was the one waiting for me at the entrance, a rare pout visible on her face. On her hand was the bag that Akane was holding earlier. It contained my change of clothes.

Because I took my time to etch a lesson in their minds, I was late for a few minutes. Sena and the others were already inside as well as my students for the day.

No wonder Coach Ayu was pouting. Unfortunately, that pout somehow added to her charm. It’s something one would rarely see from her usually serious expression.

“You sure took your time. Is it fun using your skills against those worthless playboys?”

“Uh… Did Sena tell you?”

“How do you think I will know what you’re doing? Anyway, as an instructor, that’s not a great attitude. What will the parents do if they find out that you’re participating in brawls? Do you think they will still trust you for their children?”

Ah… I haven’t thought of that possibility. But now that she mentioned it to my face… it’s truly unbefitting of an instructor to senselessly beat up someone beneath my level.

I’m not regretting doing that though.

Coach Ayu crossed her arms, waiting for my response.

I guess I can take this scolding and… accept my fault. “… I apologize. But coach, I can’t promise that it won’t happen again.”

“It’s fine if they sought you out for a fight themselves or you’re protecting someone. That’s self-defense. But this time… you intentionally returned for them. I expected more from you, Onoda-kun.”

“… Am I fired?”

“Not yet. But take this as a warning, Onoda-kun. The last thing we need here is a hot-headed instructor who doesn’t know any restraint.” Coach Ayu walked towards me and handed me the bag, “Also, don’t blame Sena. I pressed her to talk.”

After saying that, Coach Ayu turned around and left me behind.

Yep, I disappointed her for doing that. Her points were all valid. I wasn’t just a nobody anymore. If I got traced back to this gym then its reputation would be damaged.

That hadn’t happened yet but if I continued roughing up those men bugging my girls near this place then… it’s only a matter of time.

Anyway, I didn’t stay rooted on the spot. I followed Coach Ayu and entered.

When we passed by my designated area, my students for today who were already waiting for the start of the program all greeted me.

Thankfully, none of them were complaining because I was late. There were the middle and grade-schoolers as well as the few mothers headed by Ichihara-san. The three idiots from last week also returned and they brought additional members. Another two idiot-looking boys. They listened to me, at least and they’re stopping those two to ogle at my girls or every girl that enrolled in my program.

Perhaps the advice I gave them worked.

As for my girls, upon seeing me devoid of any bruises, they all sighed in relief. Even Miyako, who was frowning, settled down.

I worried them again. I really should change that habit…

Once we left the vicinity of that area, Coach Ayu’s voice graced my ears again, still racked with disappointment, “Good for you, Onoda-kun. You’re that popular with your students. If not for that…”

She turned around and faced me. We’re only a few steps before that door towards the back of the gym where the changing room was located.

“I understand, coach. Sorry for disappointing you.”

“I hope you truly understand…” Coach Ayu stared into my eyes before shaking her head. “Go and change. I won’t be supervising your lesson today. I’m busy.. But once you’re done, send Sena home first and return here.”
