Chapter 2099: Escorting them home



Just like last time, I prioritized escorting my girls home. This time, with the addition of Nina, Arisa, and Izumi, we got off the bus at an earlier stop than the one close to Nami, Shizu, Hina, and Saki's neighborhood.

As always, I ended up overthinking about how to bring it up. When I managed to come up with a flimsy excuse in my head that would probably sound so weak, I was met by the girls' knowing smiles as though they already expected what I was about to say.

Yep. What a dumbass. My girls could already read me like an open book. Even Nina understood why I became silent.

Due to that, the vampire fanatic found it more amusing to see that side of me.

"Not gonna lie, senpai. I love discovering things like this. Will you show me more?"

Or so she said.

I didn't answer her, pretending I failed to catch what she said.

All of us got off together, leaving the remaining passengers whispering behind our backs.

Yeah. Those were the few who saw that I juggled myself around. Even if they only saw me sitting in different seats throughout the bus ride, drawing some wild conclusion from it was easy.

Not to mention, most of them were from our school who, more or less, knew me by face.

Shizu was quite hidden since she's at the window seat so they're probably only pointing at me and how much of a womanizer I am.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

We'll see if it's going to become another rumor tomorrow.

That aside, we continued on our way after the bus left.

Starting with Nina, I discovered that she's living quite close to Sumire and Umi's neighborhood. It's like only a few blocks over. Mami, her friend, was also quite close.

In any case, nothing much happened anymore. It's already night so she obediently entered their house after bidding us farewell.

Ah. No. She tried asking me to bite her again, saying I needed sustenance for the night. That made the other girls react by stepping in between us and saying if I needed sustenance, I could get it from them...

... Are they protective of me? Or are they just feeling a pinch of jealousy from seeing Nina openly throwing herself at me?

In any case, they also ended up playing along with her fantasy... That set back my Noble of the Night controversy a few steps back. Now, Nina will continue playing along with that fantasy.

Soon after that, I escorted Arisa and Izumi. Unlike the other girls, they're next-door neighbors.

Unfortunately, with their street being one of the most active around this part of the city, kissing them openly was out of the question. Although we've already done it a lot on the bus... a goodnight kiss is still different, no? And they both want to get it for the first time tonight.

Ah. Izumi acted like she didn't want to do it but when Nami and the others helped in blocking us from public eyes, she was the first to jump in before hurriedly disappearing into their house.

As for Arisa, we kind of got so lost in each other that Nami and Shizu had to fake a cough to wake us up from that trance...

"Don't worry, Kikuchi-san. The only thing I fear for the future is failing to build up what I envisioned with them. We're still laying foundations so it's still hard to say. But with their help, I'm certain I can do it."

Upon hearing that, the four girls surrounding me pleasantly smiled with some of them even becoming extra intimate by locking our hands together or hugging me from behind.

Of course, they calmed down soon enough and we continued on our way.

Soon, we reached their neighborhood.

We first arrived at Saki's house. We saw her siblings who ran out of the house when they heard her voice. Nami and the others are already acquainted with them so they only wondered who I am to their older sister.

Saki didn't hide it, saying I was her boyfriend. But before those two kids could relay the shocking news to their parents, Nami and the others already brought me away.

Next, we dropped off Kikuchi who was pretty much overwhelmed by now.

Then, Shizu and Nami. I got to say hi to Auntie Kasumi who was surprised to see me again. I mean, it's been so long since I dropped by. The last time was when I picked up Nami in the

morning.

With that, Hina and I were left alone...

Since I was already a known face in their street, the two of us walked hand-in-hand until we

reached their house.

Her parents were also pleasantly surprised to see me walking their daughter home. I even got

offered a coffee.

But I politely refused, saying I still had a train to catch.

There, I watched until Hina entered their house before quietly turning around where a

familiar figure was standing there.

Just like the first time I met her, Kazuha-nee looked like a menacing figure under the

lamppost.

I put on my most innocent smile and greeted her, "Good evening, Kazuha-nee. Long time no

see."

Since she's basking under the light, it's not hard to catch her temple twitching in annoyance as she forces a smile to greet me back, "Yeah. Long time no see, you shameless bast-- Ruki-

kun."
