Stealing Spree-Novel

Chapter 868 Fuyu's Strong Suspicion

Because the night had already fallen, I shelved the plan I made to pick up both Aoi and Ria at their house for tomorrow instead. I doubt that their family would allow them to go if I showed up in the middle of the night.

That’s why after a week of having someone else join us in our bedroom, Akane and I got the room for ourselves again. It’s been a week since we’ve been alone in our bedroom so Akane was extra happy for tonight. New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

“It’s only a week, husband. But our room feels strangely wide.” The girl commented as she rolled from one side to the other. “And don’t mention that night you slept in Shiori-nee’s apartment.”

Wearing only a thin nightgown that stuck closely to her figure, I found her too sexy to resist. But with what she’s currently doing, it’s like watching an adorable cat rolling and playing on top of our bed, leaving a bit of her fur at every part of it.

If I wasn’t quick enough, the girl would probably roll down the bed, hurting herself.

“It looks like someone is already used to having another roommate.” I teased and the girl responded with a sudden lunging on top of me.

With her soft butt pressing on my nether region, the girl leaned down and bit her favorite part on my neck.

“Not as used as you, husband. I still prefer to have you all to myself.”

“I know that. And greedy as I am… That’s the same for me. You know how much I want to dote on all of you.”

“So, by having us all in one room, you’ll find it hard to do that.”

“Yep. Besides, you, Yae and Haruko were even urging me to focus on the others… That’s why… I had to take it upon myself to also put you on top or beneath me. That way I could also dote on you.”

“I got the highest privilege among all of us. It’s fine to give them your attention when they’re here. Oh right, husband, you’ll probably want to see this.” As if remembering something she forgot to mention, Akane rose from resting her body on my chest to grab her phone.

After fiddling with it for a bit, the girl then pushed the screen near my face. What was on it wasn’t a photo or anything but a simple forum post screenshot from their school’s underground forum.

Right. There’s that feature, huh? It’s like their school’s exclusive social media platform. Just that, most of them had anonymous nicknames so that they would be able to say anything they wanted to without jeopardizing their real identity during the day. There’s probably also one from our school but it’s probably not as lively as theirs considering I hadn’t heard anything about it.

The post was written like some kind of a blind item or a rumor-mongering that goes with, ‘Rumor has it that a certain male student from another high school has a relationship with not just one but more than five female students of our school! Please comment if you have additional information about his identity!’

“Is that post talking about us?”

“I don’t know. The comments are filled with malicious and fabricated information. There are some that fit your description but those were comments without anyone replying. I was mentioned but…”

As her voice trailed there, Akane swiped the screen to show another screenshot. And from a comment that mentioned Akane’s name, a reply with more than 200 likes says, ‘Who the hell are you to slander our Princess Shimizu? There’s no way our Princess Shimizu will land on a playboy. Have you seen those two when she’s being sent to the gate? You’ll die from jealousy from how all over they are to each other.’

Reading that word for word, I found my lips curving up weirdly. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Whoever commented that was probably someone close to Akane and someone who’s watching us carefully.

“That. It’s Fuyu.” Akane said after putting the phone down.

“Huh?”

“Un, it’s her. She showed it to me earlier. She’s like a fan of our relationship but I think she’s trying to see a different reaction from me by exaggerating like that.”

“Different reaction… She’s still suspecting me, huh?”

“Yes. And did you notice? Her username is suspiciously related to the one who posted that thread. She had two handles.”

When she said that, I asked her to show it to me again and… it’s really almost the same. The thread starter had a username of ‘coldwhite’ and the one who replied was ‘icesnow’.

“Looks like sooner or later, that girl will find us out. When do you think she started suspecting us?”

“… Maybe that started when she sent me home during my period.”

Oh. That day, huh? If that’s the case, is it because of Miwa-nee or Minoru? Or is there another reason?

In any case, Akane and I talked about Fuyu at length after that. Her best friend among her three close friends. While the two got their own boyfriends, Fuyu remained single throughout.

She truly cared for Akane that I was probably scolded by her not just once or twice. I just couldn’t remember those instances.

In any case, with that information, Akane and I drew out a plan to remove that suspicion from her. But every solution we came up with involved me meeting and talking to the girl more.

Although I was confident that I could steer her mind away from that suspicion through my glib tongue. If her suspicion was already deeply seated in her mind, that wouldn’t just go away. It might even worsen as she’d find it suspicious for me to talk to her so suddenly.

In the end, Akane suggested to me that I should also befriend Fuyu. Talk to her every time I would send her to school. She would make it possible to run into the girl every morning.

Naturally, meeting my other girls inside their campus was also prohibited for the moment. I’d just make some time either early in the morning or before heading home to meet and be with them even for a short while.

There was also the option to just come out and let her in on our secret. However, it’s easy to predict how that would go down. That girl would most likely pull Akane away from me. That’s something I wouldn’t allow to happen.

I could understand her concern but it’s not like I forced Akane into our relationship… Uh… I had to retract that sentence. I might really force her if the circumstances changed. My possessiveness was still there after all. That realization of wanting her all for me still lingered in my mind.

I guess that’s something I should also work on. On top of all the other things that I piled up.

Anyway, after talking about Fuyu, Akane and I savored the night that we’re alone together. Pressing her down on the bed and spoiling her throughout the night, the girl fell asleep straight away once we were done.

Before joining the girl to a good night’s sleep, I still spent some time replying to my other girls and checking on those still awake.
