Stealing Spree

As it turns out, the two girls aren't worried at all that their boyfriends will be uncomfortable with my presence. They talked to them normally, telling them what they ate for dinner or that they played games with us.

When they eventually panned the camera to me, asking me to say hi to them, those two even greeted me back, telling me to scold them if they made a fuss.

Of course, that made me confused. I was expecting them to panic or act secretive about my presence. I mean, didn't they mention lying to their boyfriends earlier?

Was that truly not the case?

But even when the call ended, nothing happened.

It was only a short call which lasted for at most two minutes. Their boyfriends only checked on them and said their good nights then told them to have fun tonight.

When they put their phones down, I found Eri laughing at me. A second later, she poked my arm and said,

"Onoda-kun, what are you thinking? Are you worried that they will be mad at us when they see you?"

"Won't that be the case normally?"

Maybe I was missing or I'd forgotten something here. But at the moment, I needed them to clarify it for me. Sometimes, even after overthinking, I'd still skip details that should be obvious.

Eri clicked her tongue and grinned, "Normally, yeah. We might have forgotten to tell them about the change of venue. But think about it... The news of Akane living with you is already widespread. At this point, it's now part of common knowledge for the majority of our school's population."

... So, that's the case? No... Wait. What I'm worried about is their nonchalance in interacting with me. I guess that's the part that I'm overthinking, huh?

Because I got so used to being intimate with my girls or just doing things that could be interpreted differently when things were convenient, I couldn't fully recognize a friendly interaction anymore...

Yeah. I'm way too deep in this abnormality that I'm now tending to overthink every interaction I have with other girls.

"For someone as devious as you, you're worrying over nothing, Onoda-kun. Why will they be uncomfortable because of your presence? You're Akane's boyfriend."

And that's another reasonable point from Futaba. My identity as Akane's boyfriend is enough to assure them I won't lay a hand on their girlfriends. And in these two girls' minds, the thought that I might be attracted to them might've even passed their heads.

No doubt, I was an idiot for overthinking and worrying over nothing.

"Geez. If you're worried, does that mean Onoda-kun finds us attractive? Will you lay a hand on us?" Eri hugged her arms and acted like she was protecting herself from me while giggling.

Hearing that, Futaba rolled her eyes, "He already laid his hands on us, duh?"

And then, as though an imaginary light bulb lit up next to her head, Eri exclaimed, "Oh! You're right. You tickled us!"

After that, Eri and Futaba looked at each other as they both put on a devious smirk.

What's this? I have a feeling we're going to circle back to something I've already rejected earlier.

"So... to even that out, why don't you just offer yourself up to us, Onoda-kun?"

"He's hiding something. Go Eri! We need to pull it out from him. This is more fun than getting

our revenge by tickling him."

These two. There's no stopping them, huh? Should I just be honest and tell them about us? That way, it'll be their turn to be stumped.

As Eri was about to charge and jump at where I was, I raised my hands up.

"Alright. Don't move from that spot Eri. Do you two really want to know?"

"Of course!" The two girls answered in sync.

"Well, I won't deny anything but I don't think I'm the person you should be asking."

"What? What do you mean?"

"I mean, will you believe me if I say yes, I charmed Fuyu and I'm now dating her?"

"... Impossible!" Their eyes widened as the same word came out of their mouths again

Look at them, when I'm now telling the truth, they won't accept it. What am I to do with these

two?

"See that? We're just going to go in circles here. Let's wait for them, alright?"

"Wait. You're using misdirection, Onoda-kun! You know we can't ask her that! What if...

you're two-timing them? Shouldn't we, as their friends, do something about it?"

At this point, even Futaba couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. She frowned

and then passed the baton to Eri who was just as confused.

"Even if I do, what will you do if they acknowledge each other?"

Somehow, using truths became too effective because it's unbelievable for them.

And sure enough, they became stumped.

"That... You're joking, right?"

This time, instead of answering, I simply smiled and then walked out of the living room,

leaving them in their own world.

I heard the bathroom door opening, I should at least tell Akane and Fuyu what happened, right? They might walk in and find those two in that state and wonder what I did to them.
