Stealing Spree

948 Extended Celebration

I watched Ichihara-san as she disappeared back to the changing room. As for me, I remained on the spot for a good while to rearrange the information I got from her.

Just the fact that Ichihara Jun got engaged to Kujou Marika tells me that the Ichihara is an influential family. Possibly not in this city or there’s a part of their influence here, given that Ichihara-san and Ichihara Jun were here. In any case, I never heard of them. Or it was just another case of me not paying attention to things irrelevant to my girls or my targets.

Anyway, that’s that. I asked Chii to keep an eye out for me but she hadn’t started yet. And with what happened earlier, Fukuda might do something else. Well, if he openly confessed, he’d just put himself in an awkward situation. Chii would turn him down in an instant.

And if he ever resorted to violence or forceful coercion, I’m confident to see the early signs of it.

I mean, what am I training my body all this time for if not for instances like that?

After a little talk with Hisa-jii, I joined up with my girls just outside the Boxing Gym.

Following that, we walked to the nearest bus stop.

Our destination? Our house.

The day isn’t ending yet. And even though a lot has already happened, it’s still technically Miwa-nee’s birthday.

They’re all aware of her birthday. I mean, as the one responsible for the manifestation of my desire, most of them were thankful for Miwa-nee. That’s why they wanted to show their gratitude by celebrating her birthday. They even whipped out their prepared wrapped presents for the celebrant, making me speechless earlier.

I hadn’t expected it. They only told me about this plan to surprise Miwa-nee after getting a little intimate moment in an alley that we passed earlier.

Uh… We didn’t do any obscene acts. Only hugs and kisses. It’s still an alley, after all. Anyone could pass by and see us there.

Anyway, getting back to the topic.

They all planned a surprise party that involved almost everyone in their chat group.

Right. While I also prepared a surprise last night, they planned a different one.

We went to the bus stop instead of the train to pick up Aoi and Ria along the way.

The noble girls, Mizuki and Otoha were also going and they were picking up Miyako and Ririka.

Haruko would also bring Edel and Mina.

Not only that, all of my girls from my class as well as Shizu were also on their way.

And lastly, Shio, Yae and Hiyori were already at home ever since this afternoon. Shio went to chat and drink with Miwa-nee while Yae and Hiyori would be staying overnight.

All in all, only Rae, Nao, Himeko and Arisa wouldn’t be there. Rae and Himeko couldn’t go out easily, especially at night. Nao was too far and I already employed her help last night. Arisa was still unaware of the chat group. She hadn’t joined it yet.

Anyway, can this still be called a surprise party?

“…Really? I don’t know what to say in this situation.” While buried with the presents given by the girls, Miwa-nee looked like she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

From what I witnessed, she was more than surprised when the girls started pouring in from the front door. She almost screamed. It also didn’t help that she was a little tipsy from the wine that they were drinking.

And since I entered last to let the girls greet her first, this kinda absurd sight greeted me.

Squeezing in the crowd of my girls, I hurriedly went to Miwa-nee’s side and relieved her of the presents. But because there was no space to move from at the moment, I remained standing at her side while carrying it.

While the girls laughed at my current plight, they soon focused on Miwa-nee, uttering their greetings before hugging her like they were looking up to their older sister.

Watching that from the side also warmed up my heart. For them to get along like this, it’s a sight to see.

Miwa-nee never wanted to celebrate her birthday. But with this, she wouldn’t forget this particular day.

The celebration didn’t last long. After the greetings done by everyone that made Miwa-nee cry with joy, we all settled down to eat our dinner.

There’s no need to cook since everyone brought something. And since most of them were girls, our refrigerator might be filled with leftovers later.

As the only man in the house, I naturally moved to prepare but as though they were seeing our future together, everyone got a role to play.

Some helped me prepare the tables and chairs so that there would be enough to accommodate all of us.

Some went to Minoru and looked after the boy. Doting at him in the process.

Those who were left with nothing to do all went to Shio and Miwa-nee, starting a lively conversation.

The house became too lively at that moment. And surely, it’s not a bad scene. I somehow wanted to see this everyday…

Once we finished dinner, we all moved to the living room to rest. But soon enough, the others prepared to leave.

They still couldn’t stay too long, after all. Most of them had to go home before 10 pm. It’s a shame but there’s no going around it.

Although the celebration was brief, it was still lively enough to see the girls interacting with each other.

It was like another gathering but with the focus being Miwa-nee’s birthday, most of the girls didn’t openly approach me.

Well, not openly means that whenever I would be out of their sight, a girl or two would sneakily appear by my side, either wanting me to pamper them or vice versa.

Ah. Not everyone did it sneakily…

For example, this girl who shamelessly took over my lap.

“Ruki, why are you here with us? Won’t Miwa-nee like it if you’re with her?”

“Well, she surely will but are you seriously asking me that, Aoi?” I returned a question and looked at the girl comfortably curled in my embrace.

Yep. It’s the unruly girl breaking the silent agreement that they made concerning how they would approach me in consideration of the birthday girl.

“It’s fine, Ruki. I can still have you on our bed later.” Miwa-nee said. She’s still at the table, drinking the wine with Shio.

Uhh. Shio was silent this time but that’s because she was already drunk. Miwa-nee had also started becoming influenced by what they were drinking.

Hearing that from Miwa-nee, most of the girls reacted by blushing, understanding what she meant. But soon enough, they started crowding around me.

“Since Miwa-nee said it’s fine… Ruki, dote on us more before we leave.” Edel was the first one to arrive, taking the space Aoi eventually vacated. The adorable koala clung to me once more. This was her third time already. The first was when we met up with them earlier and the second was when she sneakily pulled me to the side.

“… That’s what I’m planning, you know? Since you’re all here, I can’t just let you leave without even talking to me…” After answering like that, I enclosed Edel in my embrace before planting my lips on hers.

Following that, my eyes scanned the room and found Aya, Mizuki, Ririka and Hitomi. Among all of my girls here, they’re the ones who hadn’t approached me yet. I wanted to go earlier but I couldn’t reach them and we eventually settled down here.

Having one body was really hard.

In any case, after Edel got off my lap, I had the girls stay where they were as I swiftly made my move.

Well, some of them didn’t listen like Satsuki, Shizu and Aika but I still successfully got to all of them.

By the time I was finished, I felt like my lips already swelled from the kisses. At least, they spared my neck from having hickeys; my chest wasn’t.

Fortunately, Minoru was already sleeping. Otherwise, he would be so confused about what happened.
