Stealing Spree-Novel

Seeing Shizu that flustered and also a little energetic than she usually was, my purpose of asking her to take a break was more or less realized with it.

It did look a little too fluffy but what can I say? My expertise is mostly about how to handle my girls, letting them be satisfied even if we’re pressed on time.

Shizu understood me. But that didn’t mean I should push it to the point that she would start neglecting her duties. I aimed to be a relief, not a distraction.

Well, although most of the time I would be the latter, I was still in the process of learning.

In any case, after finishing the bread and downing the tea, I thought of letting her go back to her work. However, Shizu called out to me in her rare tempting voice and pulled me down on her side. She then laughingly clasped our hands together before using my shoulder to lean her head on.

A while later, Shizu’s peaceful breathing reached my ears. She cast off her mask for her act to be the strong, stoic and diligent Student Council President. Once more, she’s just my Shizu. A girl who also deserved time to rest.

Since my right hand was clasped tightly by her, I settled on reaching her head using my left, patting her endearingly.

We then began talking about things – not necessarily about us – to pass the time.

Minutes later, the girl involuntarily released a sigh. As the worrywart that I am, I quickly roused my attention to ask her.

“What’s wrong?” I lifted her chin to have her look at me. ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

At least she’s not frowning. Her lips stretched into a smile, something that she’s exclusively showing to me.

“Nothing. I just can’t help but think… It hasn’t been that long since we’ve first met. A lot has changed in me and it’s mostly because of you. This is possibly why all of them are so attached to you. In one way or another, you’ve changed the core of their being.”

I changed them, huh? Perhaps that’s true in their perspective. Not with mine though.

“That sounds a lot of praise for me. The previously scary Shizu will probably never say all these. I’m glad I managed to break you out of your shell.”

Shizu resumed leaning onto my shoulder and issued a melodic hum, agreeing with my words.

“And honestly, you might be right. Nonetheless, even after the change in me, I still see myself as the villain who’s out here to wreck your future.” I added.

Even though I am giving them the choice, I’m still set out to succeed. That’s what I thought first when Shizu told me she hated me. I could get more chances in the future to continue appealing to her, in hopes that she would eventually accept me.

So, in a way, telling them that I would give up was just temporary. Unless they’re already mine and they wanted to get out. That’s the only thing that would surely stop me from chasing after them. But everyone that I got interested in or if not interested, those who I targeted, all of them would eventually be mine.

Yeah, I’m confident about it. And that’s how much of a bastard I am.

“A villain is an apt description, Ruki. Yet, why do you think I still want you to be mine despite your flaws? Aside from me falling in love with a ‘bastard villain’ you made yourself out to be.”

“Because you love me?”

“You’re better than this, blockhead.”

“Well, you’re aware of how dense I can be at times so… this is something in line with that. I can say I made you fall in love with me but that’s not the correct answer, right? Back then, I’m stealing girls left and right, not committing to anyone. That’s still acceptable and I will just become labeled as a criminal for doing all those to the girls. But this time, the situation I created is too crazy. Even if emperors of ancient dynasties had their Imperial harems, they’re not as devoted as me to every woman that’s part of it. No doubt, I'm abnormal but you girls are crazier than me to not even get away after knowing that you’re not going to be the only one..”

“And that’s the reason why I want you all to myself. We’re still young. You can still have the complex relationship you built and enjoy the feeling of it. However, somewhere along the way, everyone will have to make a choice. When that time comes, I’ll still be the same Shizu who wanted to monopolize you.” Shizu paused for a while to stare at me again. Her words came straight from her mind. That’s what she’s thinking about our situation. “I’ll be blunt with you here. Don’t bring up that plan of yours. It’s impossible to realize.”

And there she had it. Shooting down the goal I was trying to raise. But truthfully, the girl was just spitting out facts.

Then again, she answered the question she presented. The reason why she’s not as defiant about our relationship anymore. She’s thinking that a day where everything crumbles will eventually come. And using that as a chance, she’s going to make me hers. Alone.

I guess that’s the most realistic view in all of this. But I just have to prove her wrong, right? And in turn, make her accept that this will be our reality.

“Alright. I now understand my Shizu’s mindset. Even so, I’ll still aim to make the impossible possible. Moreover, as someone who I wanted to be with in that future, I will surely be relying on you as well. You can turn that reliance but still, my feelings for you won’t change.”

“I knew you’re going to say that. You stubborn guy.” Shizu heaved a sigh again and facepalmed. Nonetheless, she didn’t let go of my hand.

And starting from minute movements, Shizu reached in to kiss me on her own initiative. With the experience she piled up with me, the girl already had the know-how even without my guidance. She opened her mouth slightly then overlapped it with mine.

As I responded fairly quickly, our tongues entwined with each other. I could instantly taste the tea and bread she just drank and ate. It’s as if we shared it together.

Bit by bit, the gravity of what we’re just talking about disappeared from our minds and was then replaced with just our pure affection for each other.

The girl gave me a piece of her mind. Perhaps, it’s because I was too dense to understand why she’s not giving in even though Ria slapped words to her face that she’s just the same as them two weeks ago. Either way, she also understood that even if I heard about that, I would just be as stubborn as her.

That sigh signified her intention to drop that subject.

After around five minutes, Shizu melted in my arms and let me take the helm back from her. She then clasped her hands around my nape as she let her body gradually fall down the sofa, pulling me on top of her.

Making sure not to press her with my weight, I carefully propped my knees to her side while one of my arms enclosed around her shoulders to support her body.

“You’re mine, Ruki..” Along with her bedazzling charming smile, Shizu naughtily whispered.
