Chapter 335: Better Position (2)

“W-what are you…”

As soon as she felt my fingers digging into her slender waist, Izumi-senpai almost stuttered as she tried to understand this situation.

“That’s too late of a reaction, senpai. Don’t lump me with those dogs of yours. You said it yourself. I’m a dangerous guy to spend time with. I like you and I will be proving it to you with my actions rather than barking like those dogs of yours.”

After saying that, my fingers tightened as I lifted her from her seat, carrying her to my lap.

Because of the suddenness of the situation, Izumi-senpai failed to resist. Moreover, her body weight was light enough that it was easy for me to carry her from where she was sitting and place her on my lap.

Furthermore, our chairs were just right in front of each other. I didn’t have to stand up from my seat to execute this. By placing her hands on my shoulder, picking her up from her seat and putting her on my lap was an easy task to do.

As I felt that squishy pair of plump meat pressing against my lap, Izumi-senpai already ended up in the same position Arisa-senpai ended up with last week when we got drawn in by the situation and made out in front of her.

“Senpai, I will repeat this again. I’m serious about liking you. I’ve already given you the chance to run away but… You did that instead. Putting me to the level of those who are chasing after you because of how you look.” I shook my head before circling my arms to her waist, preventing her from standing up.

As we both felt the warmth of each other, the flustered Izumi-senpai started hitting my shoulders. But because of my strength, she had no choice but to give up and settle down.

“Onoda-kun! If you don’t release me, I will tell Nanami about this!” Izumi-senpai lowered her head and made a threat.

She’s a bit taller than Arisa-senpai so in this position, I had to raise my chin for our eyes to meet and as soon as we did, I smiled at her which she instantly returned with a glare.

In her bid to get out of my embrace, Izumi-senpai continued to squirm her body but by doing so it was doing the opposite. Before she knew it, we’re already close enough where I could reach for her head and lower it a bit for our lips to meet.

And because of that, Izumi-senpai’s fragrant scent wafted to my nose. Inhaling that relaxing scent she was exuding, one of my hands slowly crawled up, slipping beneath her hair to reach the back of her neck.

Naturally, I refrained from pushing it down for our lips to meet. Doing this was already somewhat forcing her to be inside my arms, if I also forcefully kissed her, then I would be no better than those I loathed.

As I observed her pursed lips and slightly bloated cheeks, I answered to her threat. “Un. It’s fine. I will also tell her about this anyway. By the way, senpai. You have these kissable lips. I admit I am now kinda tempted to kiss you. But don’t worry, I won’t do that. I only did this because of what you did.”

And as expected, upon hearing my answer, Izumi-senpai’s expression froze as confusion once again filled her mind.

She had no idea. That kind of threat didn’t possess that much of a power even against a normal guy. Those two or three timing guys who were going after another girl were in for the thrill of it. They were thinking of girls as trophies they could brag about if they’re successful.

Naturally, they had the skills to back that up and they would normally target those they had confidence in.

In a way, they’re not too different from me… I guess the only difference was how I wouldn’t keep them out of the loop. If I did something, I would naturally tell my girls about it.

“Senpai, you’re taking me lightly, aren’t you? Because you know that I have Nami as my girlfriend, you probably thought that I would not dare to do this. You should’ve learned from that instance with Arisa-senpai.”

Well, even if that instance didn’t leave her mind, she would still fail to anticipate that I would just grab and put her in my embrace.

After putting on a defeated expression, I continued. “Don’t worry. I’m going to release you, senpai. I already achieved what I wanted to do with this after all. It’s up to you if you want to stay in this position with me or stand up and distance yourself from me. But if it’s up to me, I prefer the former… Anyway, I’m serious about liking you and Arisa-senpai. If you truly hated this. Feel free to tell Nami, I won’t stop you. And if you want, you also have the freedom to stop meeting me for this Mentor Program. I guess I deserved to be treated like a scumbag because of this. Nonetheless, I’m not regretting any of this.”

I stared at her and smiled slightly as I gradually loosened my arms that were tightly wrapped around her.

I honestly hoped that Ogawa would enter this room and see us like this. But that’s impossible after that event in their clubroom with Hina. Besides, I also didn’t call him here. He’s among the first ones who left the room earlier after all.

“I will not take back what I said today as well as my intention to take care of you. We both know that Ogawa will not do it. Instead of wasting time like that… if you allow me to enter that closed heart of yours, I swear I will let you feel the love you deserved.”

As she continued processing my words, Izumi-senpai’s movements gradually lessened.

Nonetheless, her indignant expression never left her face. Perhaps it was humiliating for her to be held like this by me or there were other reasons, who knows?

After a while, Izumi-senpai replied before standing up from my lap. Using my shoulders to support herself, she carefully planted her feet back on the ground. “Don’t talk about love when you could only force your way like this, Onoda-kun. In the end, Kazuo is still better than you.”

“Better, huh? You might be right. But at least I’m honest with what I feel for you... Well then. I probably already destroyed the image of myself in your mind so I’ll take my exit here.” I stood up and turned my back towards her, giving her the comfort of knowing that I will not repeat what I did again.

Just like yesterday with Arisa-senpai, I prevented myself from looking back and checking on her expression. Nonetheless, even if I didn’t look, it was easy to guess what it would be. She surely had disappointment and anger written on her face.

“Senpai, I won’t hold it against you if you decide to stop associating yourself with me after this day. As I said, I'm not regretting what I did. After all, I decided to go through with this. Instead of waiting for you to give up on chasing after that coward, I decided to make this first move and make you aware of what I feel for you. You deserved more than what you can think of… You and Arisa-senpai.”

Leaving that as my closing speech, my feet moved and traversed the distance between me and the door of this abandoned classroom. If the mood inside was somewhat gloomy when I entered, it was even more so now that I was leaving.

At this point, I had no idea what kind of face Izumi-senpai was making as well as what’s going on in her mind.

In any case, whatever it was, my words would surely be remembered by her.

This was just the first part of my plan to steal her. As for the next part, I would still have to wait and see what would be her next course of action after leaving this room.

I know that the reason why I decided to steal her is because of my annoyance towards Ogawa but I also can’t deny that, I wanted to save her from the misery of giving it her all only for it to become unappreciated. My logic might be twisted but now that I started, there’s no stopping this now. I will make her fall for me and make her forget about her affection for that coward.
