Chapter 2098: Chaotic Bus Ride?



"So, Nina... What is it with you and your obsession with Ruki's origins?"

"Heh. I'm sorry, senpai. This junior is simply curious. Anyone will if they find out that you're all into him."

"You figured that out by yourself?"

"I'll be blind if I don't!"

"... Makes sense. You were with us during that karaoke last week and even accompanied us to watch those games."

"Yes! But not only that... Tell me I'm not imagining this but Ruki-senpai is too charismatic. It only makes sense that he's a Noble of the Night!"

Somehow, not even a minute after we boarded the bus, Nina became the center of attention of my girls.

The one who brought up that first question was Nami. Knowing how observant that girl is... she doesn't really need to ask Nina.

She did that to ignite the spark of curiosity of the other girls.

Sure enough, Hina and Saki bit on it like fishes drawn to the bait. They pulled her to the back of the bus and surrounded her.

Since they could only fit five there, I ended up sitting with Shizu who acted so quickly as though predicted this turn of events.

Arisa and Izumi then took the neighboring seats on the other side. With the aisle separating us, I could see the envious look of Izumi upon seeing Shizu comfortably latching on to me.

Anyway, Nami and the others were just behind us so it didn't take long before I could feel someone's hand reaching out from above the headrest.

I looked up and saw Nami who was sitting directly behind me ruffling my hair before cupping my head intimately.

She couldn't care less about the possibility of the bus driver seeing her through the rearview mirror.

"Hear that, Ruu? Your junior says your overflowing charm can only be explained if you admitted to being a Noble of the Night. Care to explain yourself?" With a knowing smile which feels like she's drawing me into their conversation, Nami dropped a kiss on my lips.

However, upon seeing that, Shizu got triggered to reply in my place. Of course, she momentarily lifted her head to steal my lips back from Nami.

"Nanami, are you really asking this blockhead to explain it?"

"Hehe... Senpai, are you mad at me? Here. Take a bite."

"You're asking for another flick. Forget it. I'll just spoil you the same as them. Will that satisfy you?" I lifted my hand down to target that smooth forehead of hers but I immediately put it

down in favor of simply holding her chin.

Just like earlier, Nina turned into an imp.

"Does that include kisses too?"

"No."

"Aww..."

Really, she's still like this even when surrounded by my girls. Is she advertising herself to easily get accepted by them when I eventually fall for her?

I don't know.

As gently as possible, my hand left her chin alone and moved towards her glossy hair, fixing it properly and exposing her peach-colored ear.

Then in a serious tone, I whispered, "Don't sell yourself short just because it's fun. I'm the type of guy girls like you should stay away from."

Nina's smirk relaxed and turned into a pretty gentle smile. She then grabbed my hand and whispered back, "I get it. But, that's not how I'm seeing you, senpai. You're a literal chick magnet. Girls will just get drawn to you naturally. Don't you see? I wonder what kind of good deeds you did on your past life"

"Maybe I saved the Shogun from being assassinated?" I jokingly answered since the girl still refused to listen. Or maybe it was me refusing to accept the reality.

Yeah. It must be that.

"Pfft. Or you assassinated one tyrant."

"That too."

Nina sweetly giggled as our conversation suddenly shifted to somewhere else.

In any case, with the bus soon arriving at their stop, I ended up spending the last few minutes next to this fanatical junior.

I don't know how to call her anymore. Can she still be tagged as a vampire fanatic? That's now her cover story because she's now keenly aware of what's happening between me and my

girls.
