Stealing Spree

Upon seeing a group of beautiful girls sitting together without any presence of a male around them, anyone would surely be tempted to approach them and try their luck.

That’s why witnessing it happen for a second time wasn’t that surprising anymore.

This time, Akane, Sena and the other girls who would attend the 3rd session of the Basics of Boxing training program were waiting at a rather famous fast-food chain. The one with a clown as its mascot.

Really, to think that they’d fill their bellies with what most considered junk food before the training was something I had to wrap my head around. Perhaps, they just craved it.

Either way, the more pressing issue at the moment was those no-good losers hounding them.

Even from afar, I could already see Sena cupping her fist, ready to throw it to the nearest guy. There’s also Akane, a scary yet adorable expression now filling her face.

Those idiots surrounded my girls on all sides from where they were sitting and no one was even trying to help them.

It’s understandable that no one even tried to be brave. There were five of those men who were clearly older than us. Although they didn’t look like those thugs from last week, they still looked repulsive at best.

Well, some girls would probably think they’re cool and handsome but for my girls, they’re nothing more than a nuisance. A fly they wanted to swat.

Earlier, there’s those three at Mina’s house and now this… can’t they choose another time to annoy someone?

The girls were sitting close to the clear glass wall of the establishment. It’s no wonder that they could easily get men’s attention… And I’m certain. They did that so that they could easily spot me coming from the outside.

Sure enough, before I even approached the pedestrian crossing leading to the fast-food establishment, Yua spotted me. Her face instantly brightened and her lips arced into her never-fading beautiful smile.

The guy hounding her clearly noticed that and while bearing an ugly expression, he tried glaring at me. Too bad for him, I couldn’t even spare him a glance. He had to wait for later when I took care of them.

The first order of business was to take them all out of that place without causing any scene.

The crew of the fast-food seemed not to be doing anything after all. It’s evident by how annoyed Miho looked. Her arms were crossed with her finger tapping her shoulder continuously, sign that she’s currently irritated.

They could easily leave that place but they knew that those five would just follow them outside. It would be even more troublesome to deal with them.

Anyway, as they noticed Yua’s reaction, the girls one by one looked at me. And by brushing off those men, they stood up, filled with anticipation.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, let’s go.” I said as soon as I reached them.

“Huh? Who are you?”

One of them tried to block my way but Akane swept him to the side.

“—This little!”

And another one tried to grab Akane’s shoulder.

Sena grabbed his wrist and squeezed it before shoving him to the side.

With the two men dropping to the side or specifically to the nearest table, the attention immediately focused on them. Both crews and customers were surprised at what’s happening.

“Wait, please stop!” One crew shouted, trying to stop the other three from fuming.

However, I only sneered at that attempt. Even my girls had the same expression. When they needed help to stop the five from hounding them, no one stepped up.

Are they only instructed to only move if it gets violent?

Ignoring that plea, I hastened my steps and pulled Miyako, Miho, Yua, Aika, Elizabeth and Yukari to my back blocking the three who were still deliberating whether they should also make a move or not.

The two who collided at the table were still groaning in pain, fury fueling their eyes.

Nonetheless, both Akane and Sena didn’t even give them a second glance as they also stood behind me like the other six.

With that, I ended up becoming the wall to block them. Either way, I confidently stood before those three or five. I only gave them a passing glance before asking, “Do you need anything? If none then we’re leaving.”

Naturally, they were puzzled, furious and any other sorts of negative emotions associated with it upon seeing me standing my ground without even batting an eye. In fact, I even looked down on the two who were having trouble standing up.

They had all the time to lunge at me but in the end, they stood rooted on the spot.

“You punk! Who are you?”

That’s all they could ask. With everyone’s eyes focused in this direction, they’d do well not to embarrass themselves further.

They’re all trembling from anger but with Sena and Akane effortlessly pushing two of them away, they were already slightly afraid that they’d suffer the same fate.

“Does it matter? You five are bothering these girls. They’re with me so… can you scram? No wait, you don’t have to. We’re leaving.”

After saying that, I promptly turned around along with the eight girls, ignoring whatever reaction the onlookers and the five idiots would make. My hand then naturally rested on both Akane and Sena’s waists, to which the two reacted accordingly by blushing and drawing closer to me as if to taunt them further.

Of course, even though we began walking out of the establishment, I was more than ready to turn back around if I sensed that they’re closing in. To my disappointment, what we showed probably shocked them speechless that no one ran after us, instead, I heard sighs, whispers and exclamations to what they’re seeing.

I mean, this was the first time I openly flaunted that the two women were mine. If I have six more arms, I would probably include the other six. But two were enough.

Even when we began walking along the streets, I kept my hold on the two.

When we reached a certain distance and to a place with little to no pedestrians, I stopped and called for the eight girls’ attention.

“Girls, you eight should go ahead to the gym… I’ll follow you soon.”

“Are you going to deal with those five? They didn’t follow us.” Akane worriedly asked. And the other seven simultaneously asked the same question or asserted it.

“Hmm? Not at the moment, but they will do soon. And even if they do not, I will look for them myself.”

There’s no way they’d take it lying down. Those guys were just surprised at the turn of events after all. Once they regained their composure, they’d feel insulted and run out of that place to look for us. And like I said, if they didn’t do that, it would be the other way around. Their faces needed some kind of remodeling. A few punches would probably be enough for daring to hit on my girls.

“As expected, that’s what you will do. This hateful idiot…” That’s Miyako. She had a hand on her forehead, helpless at what I decided.

“What can we expect? He’s also like this even back then…” Miho and Yua sighed. However, it soon got replaced by a mischievous smile. “Ruki, next time we want the same treatment that Sena and Akane got!

So, they also want me to flaunt how they’re my girls? Moreover, looking at Yukari, Aika and Elizabeth, they’re the same.

If I indulge them to it, our complex and frowned upon relationship would surely become the talk of the town. It wouldn’t be a secret anymore…

Or I can do that for them in a different place.

A bastard walking around town with two beautiful girls in both hands and each time it happens, it will be different girls…

That can turn to a horrifying urban legend that will surely make men seethe in envy and frustration.

Well, I couldn’t just dismiss their wishes. I already did it for Akane and Sena so, to be fair, I okay-ed it. I just have to think of a way for it to not get blown out of proportion, right?

A while later, the eight went ahead like I asked. But I received an earful from Akane, Sena and Miyako before they left. I was about to do something unnecessary, after all. Furthermore, they’re just worried that I would be hurt... Even if they trust my ability to fight, it’s a normal reaction to worry and convince me to stop.
