Stealing Spree

Chapter 2397: The Visiting Juniors



Not even a second after I reached the top of the stairs to the second floor of the Club Building, a shadow shot past from the corner, running in my direction.

As I had no time to dodge, I just turned my body to receive whoever it would be.

"Senpai!"

A head dotted with sparkly highlights was the first thing that came into my view before the girl lifted her face to look up at me with a mischievous grin. She tightened her embrace, pressing her soft body against me intentionally.

"Nina!" I exclaimed as I stabilized my footing after her impact, "What's the rush? Did you stake out the staircase waiting for me?"

"I did! How can I miss the opportunity to ask for your bite? Quick before someone walks by!" Hearing her words, I inwardly sighed. Yep. She's still the same as before.

With a flick on her forehead, I once again scolded her, "No bites. No spells. When will you be convinced that it was all a fantasy?"

"Maybe never? Hehe. But senpai, did you miss me at least?"

Although she pouted again, Nina never took a step back and endured the stinging pain from my flick.

"I do miss you but... not your stubbornness to insist that I'm a Noble of the Night." I pretended to be stern but it was ineffective. It made her gush more about her fantastical belief that I'm a vampire.

"Sorry, senpai. I told you back then, I couldn't do that. In my eyes, you'll always be my Night Prince. It's just who you are to me," She said with a playful wink, her dimple appearing as she grinned.

Night Prince... Now she came up with a nickname for me as well. I should really refer her to Elizabeth. If she heard about this, she would've gone full chuunibyou mode and started calling herself the Blood Princess to match my new title.

Wait. That's going to be a whole lot of new headaches, isn't it?

I should hold back that thought for now.

"Alright. I give up. My little vampire minion who hasn't been baptized by my bite yet. Where are the others? Is Sumire and Umi also with you?"

Pretending to surrender with her antics, I gently peeled her off me as we walked out of the staircase area and into the hallway leading to the Student Support Club.

"Yes. I only sneaked out because I sensed that you were about to arrive." "You sensed?"

Nina proudly grinned, "What do you think, senpai? Doesn't your minion deserve a bite?" "Nope. Not when you're being this mischievous. Shouldn't you be obedient to me if you want me to acknowledge your fantasy?" I answered, countering her flawlessly.

I know I should've done this the first time but I thought there was still a chance to correct her fantasy. Alas... even after all the reminders, she's still like this and she's not going to change anytime soon.

"Oh! You're right, senpai. I should be obedient. That way I can be rewarded." Nina's eyes sparkled as she sweetly giggled which was somehow not matching her goth-like makeup.

Ah. No. It somehow matched but not in a positive way. Her toothy grin made her look like a crazy girl.

"None of the rewards will be a bite."

"Eh? That's disappointing, senpai."

"I'm trying to save you from being further deluded, you know?"

"I don't need it. I'm already fully devoted to my fantasy!" Nina exclaimed dramatically, her faux disappointment quickly turning into playful determination. She grabbed my arm again as we approached the door to the Student Support Club.

Once again. She's a lost cause. At this point, I should just accept that there's no turning her back. I mean, she already knew that it's nothing more than her fantasy yet she's still fully devoted to the role.

She was so enamored with the concept that she was willing to throw logic out the window.

"You're a hopeless girl. After everything you've seen and experienced, you're still determined to get close to me," I said with a shake of my head, a smirk playing on my lips despite my teasing words.

"Hehe, You know why I'm sticking to this schtick, senpai. I know I won't be harmed by you. Just talking with Nanami-senpai and the others already told me how caring as a person you are... so please continue indulging me with my fantasy."

The girl lifted her head again, showing me her puppy eyes as she begged.

Yeah. Refusing her antics would just bring me unnecessary headaches. It's much better to indulge her with it like how I did it with Elizabeth's chuunibyou antics.

"Alright. Suit yourself."

"Yay!" Nina rejoiced before trying to entice me again with her neck.

After another flick on her forehead, I hastened our pace and soon reached the Student Support Club.

The same as last time, Nina separated herself from me to keep up with her appearance in front of her seniors.

Since they were probably already expecting us, I opened the door without knocking.

"Nina! There you are. Where did you go?" Mami spoke first. She's seated next to Ogawa, fully showing to the others in the room that they're now dating.

"Oh. Just outside. I ran into Ruki-senpai so I returned hehe." Nina lied without a second thought.

Obviously, no one in the room believed her. In one way or another, they already knew the girl's interest in me.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Anyway, my eyes moved from Mami to my girls who had varying reactions. Eventually, I rested my gaze on the other two juniors sandwiched between Nami and Hina. "Ruki-senpai, hi." Umi greeted me with a shy smile. Her cheeks were flushed pink not just because of seeing me but also because of what was probably happening before I arrived.

Looking at the suspect, Nami stuck her tongue out cutely.

"S-senpai. We came to visit."

This time, it was Sumire. But she's surprisingly timid for someone who's usually energetic. In fact, her blush was more evident as soon as our eyes intersected. Clearly, she's recalling our

short date last weekend.

"Mhm... It's nice seeing you here, Umi-chan. Sumire. Looks like you're being treated nicely by your seniors." I said, addressing Saki and Hina whose hands were on Sumire's hair, braiding

it.

Before walking to them, I naturally checked on the others. Arisa was as jolly as ever but instead of focusing on Umi and Sumire, she was leaning close to Mami, teasing her.

Izumi, on the other hand, was frowning once again. As for the reason. Maybe my appearance?

In any case, with Nina separating from me, I greeted my girls one by one without openly showing our intimacy.

I mean, it's already a daily occurrence by now. I'd spare the three idiots from shuddering in envy at the sight of me hugging and kissing my girls openly and shamelessly.

I had to act like a respectable senior to my juniors, right? As if!

The moment I stepped close to any of my girls, my lips would be claimed.

Nina marveled at the sight. Mami tried to avert her gaze. Umi partially covered her eyes. And

Sumire blushed profusely.

"Ruu, don't forget your adorable juniors." Nami playfully whispered as our lips separated. "They also deserve to be pampered, no? Also... I think they're visiting for a reason. We should hear them out before you go to the Literature Club.
