Stealing Spree

I succumbed to sleep and woke up around thirty minutes later. I knew I should’ve slept more but it’s like my whole body was refusing to do so. My thoughts were flooded with my remaining plans for the day such as drawing a lesson plan for Koharu’s boxing class tomorrow, picking up Akane, and checking on my girls once more.

Nevertheless, even though it’s short, sleeping within the comfort of both Ayu and Sena was heavenly. The accumulated fatigue that I was ignoring had effectively been washed away. Likewise, I found the two sleeping comfortably by my side.

It surprised me that no one found us here but I found out much later that they locked it, preventing anyone from barging in.

Also, Ayu made sure to inform Hisa-jii about it. As a result, we pretty much got the whole room for ourselves.

After they woke up, Sena and I went to take a shower as usual. Washing off the sweat we accumulated. This time, Ayu joined us halfway. My stamina which had just recovered was tested again. But well, that’s just how it is. They’re too irresistible and it’s probably the same for them.

When we stepped out of the gym, Ayu brought us to a diner. It’s already late in the night so even Akane told me to eat dinner with them before picking her up.

While we were eating, we naturally conversed over it. I listened to Sena complaining to me about the revised training routine by Ayu. According to her, it was influenced by Ayu’s former coach. She visited the gym yesterday night and even sparred with Ayu for old time’s sake.

Ayu was embarrassed to admit that she didn’t even last 1 round against her former coach, Kamino Hitora. But well, it’s kind of understandable. That woman entered the pro scene again after Ayu got injured and even won a world title belt. Even without the injury, I doubt Ayu could beat her even if it’s just sparring.

Anyway, it looks like she also became fond of Sena. When I looked over what they changed with her current training routine, it was like it got intensified three times over. Nevertheless, even though it’s going to be a struggle for her to keep up, the result would most certainly be geared towards her growth when it comes to her offensive abilities.

When I voiced my opinion about it, Sena who was expecting me to take her side unhappily pouted. She acted a little jealous, accusing me of taking Ayu’s side.

Well, Ayu and I found that side of her adorable. And honestly, the girl didn't stick with it since she also understood my reasoning and what she could gain from it. She just wanted to be spoiled.

Besides, to ascertain how effective it will be, I will also try the routine and give her feedback.

This time, however, Ayu scolded me, accusing me of spoiling Sena too much.

Yep. They're slowly taking up each other. It's not a bad thing. Rather, it shows the growth of their relationship. Their closeness didn't become stunted when Ayu also became my girlfriend.

“What can I say? I’m such a worrywart that I like to test its effectiveness first given how steep your former coach raised the difficulty.”

It’s also a good thing for me, I guess? I’m still confident with my physical prowess and combat alertness that I kept honing through my regular training but I doubt I can flawlessly win against a professional like Marika’s bodyguards. I also have to level up, no?

“Ugh. Why do you sound so convincing?” Ayu frustratingly murmured, “Alright then. You probably won't do the routine in our gym. So, take a video when you do it, Ru-kun. I’m gonna review it myself.”

“I understand. I'll be in your care then, Ayu.”

“Psh. Stop sweet-talking me. I'll point out your mistakes and if it's not enough, I'll consult Coach or the old man.”

“Sure. Then, Sena should refrain from completing it yet. Just do a third of the objectives.”

Understanding that I’m serious about it, Ayu can only stuff her cheek with the food before giving in. And with my worrywart trait still in effect, I added that suggestion.

Ayu pouted and begrudgingly agreed.

In any case, she's also a little worried for Sena so I believe she won't turn it down regardless. Maybe even if Sena didn't bring it up, Ayu would consult me about it. She's just a little upset that I already found a solution before her.

“I’ll look forward to watching it, Ruki!” Sena celebrated at my side, stuffing her pretty little mouth with food.

From there, I spoiled the two of them while continuing our dinner. It didn't take long before Ayu eased up again as she melted like butter on my side.

We also talked about my experience in the camp but hearing how I was like an inexhaustible idiot running all around the hill to spend time with the girls, I once again became the subject of scolding from the two.

And when we finished dinner and returned to Ayu’s car. The two of them continued the scolding in the form of drowning me more with their affectionate gestures.

Mhm. Be it scoldings or praises, both will be a win for me.

Shortly after dropping Sena at their house, Ayu drove me to the train station. She offered to take me home but knowing that I was going to pick up Akane at her friend's house, she understood that it might be troublesome for all of us.

Still, I appreciate that a lot. I ended up spoiling her more before separating from her.

Following that, as soon as I got my seat on the train, I opened my phone and checked my most recent messages.

Surprisingly, I also got a message from Fuyu who should be with Akane at the moment.

“Onoda-kun, Akane told me you're coming to pick her up. Have you eaten yet? We can prepare something for you.”

That girl… Didn't Akane tell her about it? Or is this intentional on her part? She can't find a proper reason to message me so she used this one.

I held off replying to her to read Akane’s message below hers.

“Husband, Fuyu looked delighted when she heard about you coming over. She thought I wouldn't notice but she's typing on her phone. If she sends you a message, you can play along.”

Yep. That's Akane alright. She's probably trying her best not to meddle with us. But she also couldn't help informing me about her best friend’s gradual change.

After thinking for a while, I replied to Akane first before carefully crafting a reply to Fuyu.

“You're becoming mischievous again, wife. Poor Fuyu has no idea you're selling her out to me.”

“I’ve eaten dinner. You don't have to trouble yourself, Yuuki-

san. Rather, I'll bring something for the trouble of looking after Akane. Hint: Dessert.”

Once I finished sending those, I closed my messaging app to check if the shops around their neighborhood were still open.

But while I was browsing through it, I got a call from Tokyo.

Looking at the time, that busy girl must've just finished her recording.

To not be a nuisance to the other passengers, I moved to a corner before answering it.

And sure enough, the first thing that popped up on the screen was Yue’s exhausted face which instantly brightened up seeing me.

“Ruki. Help me. I miss your hug… Why is Monday taking so long to arrive?”
