When I entered our classroom, apart from my girls’ eyes focusing on me, I noticed some of our classmates also looking in my direction. They all had this amused smile on their lips as if they found something interesting.
Obviously, someone saw me with the Miura sisters and they started spreading gossip again. That’s what I gathered from their hushed mutterings.
Should I be bothered? Not really.
Wearing the same, inexpressive face, I simply focused my gaze on those few. They immediately closed their mouths and averted their eyes from me.
They’re not intimidated but guilty of talking behind my back. I didn’t need to explain myself to them anyway.
That’s why with that solved, I made my way to my seat, next to Aya.
After exchanging greetings with each other, we spent the time talking about Hana. She brought up her impression of the girl upon seeing her yesterday.
“Hana is… Uhm… lonely? How should I say it? It’s not visible but when I talked to her, her eyes looked really sad. She also tried to look for you with her gaze even if she knew that you were not home. She misses you a lot.”
Now that’s a different impression from what I heard from the three girls last night.
For this girl to find Hana lonely when she’s always smiling, I guess that’s an introvert for you. She’s always perceptive about her surroundings and she can pick up what others can’t if given the chance to do so.
“Maybe you’re right. That’s why I'll do my best to make her happy as long as she dropped the notion of stealing me from all of you. And to change that fake smile of hers into a genuine one.”
“Un. If it’s you, you can definitely do it. My Ruki is amazing.”
Getting praised by this girl was definitely a bliss. And due to that, I decided to wait for a golden chance. When most of our classmates were busy with their conversation or whatever they were doing, I covered our front using the book that she was reading and pushed my head in, kissing her intimately.
Aya happily received it, closing her affectionate eyes to savor it fully.
Although it was a quick one, not a few seconds longer, her adorable face instantly brightened as though I just made her day. Well, her smile alone was enough to make my day but seeing her this happy, I somehow got this idea to do it occasionally. Not just with her but also with the other girls. As long as I took careful consideration before doing it, we could now be more intimate in class.
Obviously, it’s too risky. And if we got caught, we’d be the topic of the day. But would I and the girls care about them? Probably not.
At this point, we were just maintaining the secret to prevent the troublesome situation of being interrogated by everyone.
Being discreet about the true nature of our relationship would always be the most favorable. Nonetheless, it’s not bad to show off once in a while. Especially if it would result in my girls being gleeful.
When I put the book down, Aya and I simply returned to our conversation, acting like normal. A while later, her new friends Wakaba and Kashiwagi joined us, teasing us once again.
Although they brought up the new gossip floating about around me, I easily answered that by pointing at my armband.
With that, even without explaining it in detail, my two classmates understood that it was connected to my position as the Disciplinary Officer.

Hopefully, they spread the word, culling that gossip to its root.
When my other girls arrived, they gathered around us, swelling up our group once again. The trio of Nami, Hina and Saki as well as Chii along with her two gyaru friends.
However, as expected, Satsuki’s seat remained empty.
She’s still in the training camp.
Earlier this morning, I received a message from that girl. She said that their training camp would end today. She even sent me a photo while she’s still curled up on her bed, looking very sexy in her nightwear.
She intentionally chose a daring angle, enticing me with it. And following that, she sent another photo with the girl expressionlessly smirking along with a caption, ‘Miss me?’
Obviously, although I read it late, I replied positively.
And she instantly replied with, “Idiot. Pick me up after school. The bus will drop us there. I told my family that the camp will be concluded tomorrow.”
Yep. Satsuki would be coming home with me today which made me less lonely seeing her empty seat.
“Ruu, today’s the day, right?” Seeing how the others were busy with a topic concerning a TV drama that was very popular nowadays, Nami used that chance to get close to me and whispered that question.
Looking at her unblinking and intense gaze, she’s probably referring to Hana. And so, I answered with a nod.
She then thoughtfully looked down, perhaps trying to come up with another question.
Since she’s not there yesterday, the girl only heard about her from me as well as from Hina and Saki.
And among my girls, this girl was among those who were pretty provoked when it came to Hana’s challenge. She still had that ‘main heroine’ trait, after all. She wouldn’t take it lying down if her man was being seduced by another girl.
“I see. Let me see her try to steal you. I haven’t had the chance to fight another girl for my man yet.”
“This girl. You’re intriguingly eager for that.”
“Hmm? Of course, I am, Ruu. I cannot fight against the others. But against her, I can do so as a response to her challenge. What do you think?” Ending that with a meaningful smirk, Nami cupped her fist, seemingly ready to box with Hana if she ever appeared in front of her.
Well, that’s an exaggeration. Most likely, she’ll just stand in front of me to intimidate the girl or block Hana’s view.
But like she said, because she couldn’t really fight the others when it came to their relationship with me, only Hana could give everyone that sort of challenge.
“That’s impressive. Just what I expect from my Nami.” I said, praising her genuinely.
“I’m not a war freak, alright? I got provoked.” Nami uttered an excuse while pouting adorably. She then giggled before taking Satsuki’s seat and moving it closer to my side.
Stealthily, she slipped her hand under the desk to hold mine.
I opened my palms, welcoming her fingers to fit in the gaps, locking them.
“I know. And I fully support you. You’re my girl, after all.” I whispered to her ear, doing it as silently as possible to not let the other girls unrelated to us hear.
Nami clicked her tongue and turned to face me, “Sheesh. Now you made me want to kiss you, Ruu. Can we do it here?”
“Here? No problem. Come here, let me cover us up.”
As I said that to her, I tilted my body to her side, enough for us to lean on each other. However, with the other girls around us, there’s no way I could imitate what I did with Aya earlier.
And sure enough, Nami also understood it. She pinched my cheek and whispered back, “Bolder, aren’t we? Let me save that up for later. I’m content with this.”
Her eyes moved downward, pointing at our joined hands hidden in the small compartment beneath my desk.
Just like this, time continued to flow around us.
Five minutes before the bell, Nami and the others returned to their seats as we waited for Shio.
At the same time, my phone vibrated in my pocket.
Pulling it out and reading the message I received, I couldn’t help but mutter quietly, “Yeah. Just as we all expected.”
On my screen, Hana’s message flashed along with a photo of her in our school uniform with Shio at her side. “Ruki, I’ll be seeing you in a few minutes.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
