Chapter 386: Advise (1)
A few minutes after Arisa-senpai left the room, I went back to the next room where Hina currently was.
Upon seeing me, her eyes regained some brilliance. She already finished eating and the lunchbox I gave her was neatly placed on her lap.
Along with a gratified smile, Hina called out to me, while tapping the chair next to her where Arisa-senpai was sitting earlier.
Afterward, she handed me the lunchbox that still had half of its contents.
Saying she saved it for me because she knew I would go back to see her, Hina scratched her cheek before turning her head sideways to not let me see her embarrassed face.
She already recovered from what she was feeling earlier and although her eyes were still a bit swollen because of her tears, the girl was doing her best to show that she's already fine.
While I was eating what she left for me, Hina's eyes began observing me. Unlike earlier where she's finding it hard to meet my gaze, she was showing a slight smile whenever I lifted my eyes to check on my audience.
After I was done eating and throughout the remaining time until the bell rang for the start of the 5th period, no words were exchanged between us.
However, Hina stood up from her seat and climbed up on me, settling herself on my lap.
When I was about to question what she's trying to do, Hina dropped her lips on mine, sealing it with a kiss that span across that remaining time.
She couldn't make a decision yet and earlier, her words pointed to how she seemed to still be favoring Ogawa over me but that moment when we're alone, Hina wordlessly and boldly did something like that.
Since she didn't want me to say anything, I made that time worthwhile for her instead. Everything Ogawa couldn't do for her, I would do it. Responding to her kiss, letting her take the lead and everything else.
Of course, because she's inexperienced, she never thought of going lower than our collarbones. Although I firmly held her buttocks, I prevented my hand from caressing it, lest what happened earlier with Arisa-senpai repeat itself.
When we returned to the class, although I let Hina enter first, Ogawa's signature glare was back when he saw me and… I was then subjected to Aya and Satsuki's questioning.
Chii, who was near the back of the class, also had a slight smile on her lips upon seeing me. Although it would appear that we were not seen talking to each other directly after I sent her home and told her my past as well as what's happening to me, our conversation continued over the convenient Messenger.
Nami had that understanding expression on her face upon seeing me but the girl was suffering from some abdominal pain due to her menstruation.
Saki, on the other hand, was wondering where did I run off to just based on that wandering pair of eyes of hers.
Well, all those stares went unnoticed since being the last one entering the class, followed by our 5th-period teacher, the attention of everyone in the class were all directed at me before instantly shifting to our teacher.
As the class progressed, although I would say it passed by without any flair, some interesting bits happened during the sixth period.
That Ogawa raised his voice when he was called by the History teacher. He was daydreaming on his seat that when he was called out to answer a question, the good boy frowned and scowled.
When he noticed the old teacher about to flare up in anger, he immediately bowed his head three times.
Lucky for him, he only got off with a warning when someone pointed out that he was sick yesterday and that his behavior was still somewhat influenced by it.
Nonetheless, for the rest of that class and the 7th period, the gossipers spent their time whispering among each other while pointing fingers at Ogawa.
That's some dreadful experience for the guy who was perhaps the most popular among the class.
Because of that event, he became the first one to storm out of the classroom when the 7th period ended.
"Onoda, do you have the time now?"
After Satsuki and the others left, Sakuma approached me. He's a bit giddy and he kept on looking over his shoulders as if he's afraid someone would hear him.
"Sure. Lead the way. You seemed so serious now. A lot better than before."
I picked up my bag and followed him outside.
Although he heard my words, Sakuma delayed responding to them until we reached somewhere with fewer students.
"Am I really a lot better? I… I disappointed Maemura. I don't want to do the same with Setsuna-nee." With some seriousness in his words and expression, Sakuma said.
Disappointed Satsuki, huh? In a way, I was also disappointed in him. Although I confused him to look the other way, the way he gave up was even faster than when I was trying to make Satsuki fall for me.
"I see. I've only seen Satsuki's sister once and… I must say, seeing her fawn over you when you picked them up at the station... it made me think that you really have a chance for her."
"Only made you think? Haa… How low is my chance?" Sakuma sighed and his enthusiasm dropped to a degree.
"Hmm. If you keep this act up. Zero."
Upon hearing my answer, his enthusiasm dropped once more. If we're not outside and the ground wasn't concrete, this guy would probably kneel down in frustration.
"Wait. Be serious, Onoda. How can I increase my chances?"
"Is that what you really want to ask me? Earlier you looked like you already had your question ready. Are you going to confess?"
Ignoring his silly antics, I went straight to the point.
I still have a club to attend to and girls to visit after all. Sparing a few minutes for this guy was enough. Besides, Satsuki also wanted to hear what this guy had to say.
"Confess… Isn't it too early? I… I just wanted to do something for her. You know, like asking her for a date."
This guy… I guess that's the right move for him but out of all the guys out there who were dating normally, why me? All I did was attack and continue attacking until someone fell into my clutches… That's also the summary of what happened with Kana and Satsuki after all.
With Nami, although I baited her to those practices it's not considered a full-on attack. I was also somewhat holding back since I was somewhat confused when I remembered that emotion.
"Do something for her? Why will you call it a date this early? Just continue hanging out with her. If I have to guess… She's always calling for you, right?"
Well, considering Sakuma even dressed nicely to pick them up at the station, that girl was surely the one at the helm of their relationship. If she's still staying at their house, this guy was most likely at her beck and call whenever she wanted.
"How did you…" Sakuma's eyes widened as if wondering how I could guess it right.
"I heard enough about her sister from Satsuki… And the two of them were different from each other. If Satsuki has that foul mouth that always curses at you or us, her sister most likely always praises you with words like 'good boy' or 'well done' whenever you’re following what she wants to happen. In other words, Sakuma… Forget the past between the two of you, at the moment, you're probably like a pet for her."
