Chapter 43 - The Robber Incident 2 (1/2)

The Robber Incident 2

After being introduced as a thief, I had no other choice but to call myself a “thief”. There was no other way for me to introduce myself, and even if I were to say, “No, I’m not a thief,” I wouldn’t know what to say after that.

That’s why, I’m now a thief.

Though, if I really was a thief, I would be thrown out instantly.

Look. Hiiragi-chan is even putting on a face that seems to say, “Ah, what should i do now…?”

“Ha-Haru-chan… you would kiss someone like him…? Someone you met for the first time…?

A lot of contradictory points came out now. Now, what do we do? Her sister, Natsumi-chan, was looking at Hiiragi-chan anxiously. Rather, she really shouldn’t be ignoring the keyword of “thief” like that.

Hiiragi-chan was sweating hard, as she turned and looked away.

“Y-yes, I would? It’s just a kiss. Even if it’s someone I just met.”

She bulldozed her way through it!! No doubt, it makes her seem even more like a bitch!

I’m a “thief”, Hiiragi-chan is a “bitch”.

“You’re not Haru-chan that I used to know!?”

I know right. Most likely, she, herself, doesn’t even understand what she’s saying.

“Until now, I’ve just hidden it. Natsumi just never knew about it.”

Everyone, including me, had on a confused expression of wondering what to do next.

“An-anyway, let’s sit down first…?”

As a thief that she just met, I offered Natsumi-chan a seat on the sofa.

Just because we wanted to conceal the relationship between Hiiragi-chan and I, our first meeting formed a triangle relationship of a thief, a bitch-teacher, and an innocent little sister.

What should i do nowwwwwww?

“I’m… going to put the ingredients I just bought in the refrigerator. Also, I need to make preparations for lunch…”

Hiiragi-chan ran away while grabbing the plastic bag from the supermarket.

“Umm… Thief-kun’s name is Seiji, right?”

“Ah, yes… Your older sister… I just happened to run into Sensei…”

It became a story about a thief, who just happened to meet his teacher, and ended up having her listen to his circumstances over lunch—a story full of holes.

“I see…”

She believed it!?

“How old are you, Seiji-kun?”

“17 years old.”

“Then you can’t! You can’t be a thief! You’ll get caught by police.”

Maybe because Hiiragi-chan’s bitch-like statement was too much of a shock for her, her suspicions of our relationship were all blown away. Anyways, for now, leaving that sort of misunderstanding there would be a good play.

“Yeah. I didn’t know that Hiiragi-sensei lived at this apartment complex…. But thanks to that, it only stopped at an attempt.”

I acted like I was repentant. Let’s make it that I know Hiiragi-chan, but Hiiragi-chan doesn’t know about me.

“I never knew that Haru-chan was such a slovenly woman…”

As expected, Hiiragi-chan’s bitch-like statement was too much of a shock for her.

“Anyways, it’s because Natsumi came so suddenly that something weird like this happened, you know—!!”

Hiiragi-chan who heard our conversation poked her head out of the kitchen. She seemed to be really unhappy. Of course she would be. Last night, she seemed so happy about our okonomiyaki party after all.

What Hiiragi-chan said was reasonable. If you want to come, then only come after making an appointment beforehand, it’s part of an adult’s common sense.

“I just wanted to surprise you, Haru-chan… But you guys started kissing… so I couldn’t come out…”

“S-so, you saw it…”

The red-faced Hiiragi-chan immediately return to the kitchen. Her embarrassed reaction is cute but, please don’t forget about the setting of being a bitch.

Hiiragi-chan then brought out a hot plate, but I decided to help her carry it because it looked heavy.

“Ah, Seiji-kun… Thank you.”

“It’s okay”

Natsumi-chan stared at me as I prepared the table.
