It was a bit of a rush when the PE Teacher suddenly appeared and called out to us but luckily, due to how dark the interior of the Gym Storehouse is, she didn't see anything wrong with us

After telling us to take a break and keep the door open to let the air circulate, she went back to supervise our class.

Mirae heaved a sigh of relief when she's gone as her sweat continued to drip out of her skin.

"Let's take a break, Mirae. You're drenched in sweat already. I'll buy us a drink."

I called out to her.

She looked back and I saw her using her arm to wipe the sweat off her forehead.

"We had just taken a break, right?"

Ah. That's not a break you know? That's us slacking off.

"Just stop for now and get out to take fresh air. We'll finish that later."

I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the stuffy Gym Storehouse.

Now that we're out there, I could finally see clearly how much she sweated. Her shirt was already sticking to her skin, her hair was a bit wet as if she had just taken a shower.

"Look at you, you might get sick if you let that dry on you."

I couldn't give her my handkerchief since it's already used earlier. Though I've also sweated a bit when we're in that kind of steamy atmosphere earlier, it's not as much as hers.

"I see, you're always like this. Even at the infirmary, you're this concerned even to someone who kept glaring at you throughout the game."

Mirae looked up at me as if she's looking at someone she's admiring for a long time.

What is this girl talking about? I felt guilty back then for hitting her so I want her to feel better.

"Anyone will be concerned if they're the cause of why you collapsed. Just sit there for now, I'll be back."

Mirae only giggled from what I said before sitting on where I pointed.

I don't know what she's thinking. After that kiss, she seemed to be a different person now. Did I influence her that much?

After buying our drinks, I went back to the Gym Storehouse and saw her talking with Chii.

"Yo, Onoda-chi! I thought of seeing how you're doing."

With a grin on her face, Chii waved her hand towards me. This girl is always easy-going. But yeah that's a mask, right?

I don't know what they're talking about but Mirae's face was flushed. What did this gyaru tell her, I wonder?

"Chii, won't you be punished by the teacher? The others will be implicated as well."

That teacher likes to give collective punishment after all.

"Don't mind, don't mind. You're totally worried about me, eh? Have you read my message?"

No. I'm worried about Satsuki, Nami and Aya being implicated by you…

"Not yet. Does that concern what we talked about last week?"

She wanted us to talk privately. As to what the topic will be, I don't know. We didn't talk about deep topics during our chats so I still have no idea what it is that she wanted to tell me.

"Bingo! Make sure to read it, okay? See ya Mirae-chan!"

Like at how fast she arrived here when I'm only gone for a few minutes, Chii left after leaving those words. Did she just come here to remind me to read her message?

Haa. I still don't get her thought process.

"Here's yours, Mirae. What did the two of you talk about? She didn't bug you, did she?"

Handing her the juice I bought for her. I noticed how she's already refreshed, with her sweat already wiped. But yeah, she's still red.

"Thank you. She only asked if I'm also interested in you."

"I see. Based on how red you are right now, you answered yes?"

Mirae nodded and looked up at me with a wry smile.

"I'm curious about you, that means I'm interested in you, right? And also, you said you like me."

"Right. You could say it like that. Do you remember your assignment?"

When I asked her later she kept insisting on it just her being curious about me. I guess that kiss really changed the way she thinks of me.

Asking me to kiss her when the first time was just her fully rejecting as if it would be the end if I took her lips by then. This time, she almost took the lead from me when she got used to it.

"Un. Actually, I want to kiss more. Maybe I'll understand it if we do it more…"

Mirae pulled on my sleeves as she looked up at me with that glistening lips of hers. Her fogged up glasses were cleared which made me see her eyes that were intently looking at me, communicating what she wanted.

"I'm kind of glad you're this eager but Mirae, you don't need to rush it. Take your time to understand your feelings. You never liked someone before, right?"

I smiled at her and put my thumb on her lips, caressing it as I asked her the question.

She might get addicted to it and soon grew tired so it's better for her to take it slow. It will be bad if she got addicted until her reasoning dulled to the point of asking somebody else for it.

It's better to teach her slowly and to let her understand that it's special.

"Maybe you'll be the first."

Mirae nodded. She closed her lips as she tried to feel my thumb on it.

"Then I won't take advantage of your confused state. Let's take it slow, okay? I'll let you slowly understand it. That way you won't be too confused if you really came to like somebody."

Hearing what I said, Mirae gave me an enchanting smile. She grabbed my hand that's caressing her lips and put it on her cheeks, feeling the warmth of my palm.

"Un. Thank you, Ruki."

She closed her eyes as she rubbed her cheeks on it.

"What are you thanking me for? I like you, this is normal for me."

Taking the seat next to her, Mirae used my shoulder to lean on instead. We will surely be misunderstood if someone comes here and sees us.

"For you, but other boys aren't like you. Those who confessed to me before, either they're too naive thinking I'll be easy or too shameless that they kept reaching on my hand when they're confessing. You're the only one who's always this calm and patient."

Ah. Those are kids, eh? Who would confess like that?

Err... It's not as if I did a traditional confession behind the school building or under a Cherry Blossom Tree. Hell, my first time confessing with someone was in the bath with Akane. Or if that didn't count, with Satsuki inside that empty room where we had sex right after.

"Ah. Right. If someone confesses to you again, will you be curious about him too?"

Will she? I don't know, she's in a different class so it'll be hard to see her unless we communicate with each other beforehand. There is the club and this PE class but I won't always be at the club and this taking PE with their class is only once a week.

"I'll turn down anyone else. I will only be curious about you."

She shook her head as she tried to affirm me.

"You had just put me in a good mood again."

I smiled at her and patted her head, she closed her eyes to feel the sensation better, like a cat being patted by her owner.

"I'm glad. Can I ask for a kiss in exchange for putting you in a good mood?"

After the patting, Mirae whispered her request.

"This girl… Alright, after we're done with our task."

Ah. Let's satisfy her for today. It'll be hard to be alone with her again after this. Well, we'll continue our weekly agreement anyway so there will be more chances.

"Then let's get to it."

Mirae excitedly said as she finished drinking her juice. She immediately went inside and I followed after her.

"But Mirae, we shouldn't close the door again. It'll be hot inside and it's my time now, right?"

While doing our task, it's time for her to impart me some knowledge. She told me back then that my thoughts were filled with shameless things so I should start filling it with other knowledge.

"Ah! Right, your time where I'll teach you knowledge I know.

Mirae exclaimed as if she only remembered it just now.

"Alright. What kind of knowledge will you impart to me?"

We started our work. We're already half done when I pulled her to that corner earlier so this will be swift.

"That… it's up to you. Pick a subject then I'll tell you what I know about it."

This girl. So it's still on me to pick the subject eh? What do I want to know?

Something I want to do…

"Alright. Apart from studying, what should I do to be successful in life?"

It can't be too successful but just enough to realize that future with them.

"Successful? Why do you want to know about it?"

"Isn't that why we're studying? To become someone who could be called a successful person."

That's what they advocate anyway and in the end, only a handful can really become one. Some ended up being slaves to their workplaces, just to get by.

"… You're right. I don't have enough knowledge about that subject but apart from studying, you should first identify your strong suit."

Well, of course, you're also a student like me. What should I expect?

"My strong suit? I'm good at talking but only when I was trying to make a girl mine or direct someone to think in another direction. I don't think I have a handsome face which can lift me up. What else? I'm fit and strong?"

Those are the only things I could think of. I'm too honest to become a salesperson, I might say the negative points of the product I will be selling.

"You have a lot of strong suits, it seems. Just with the fit and strong, you can be a professional in that department."

Mirae pondered for a while before speaking again.

"Ah. I don't think I would like to fight to be successful or even become a bodyguard of someone. They will always worry about it. Being an athlete is kind of a hassle too."

Training to become an athlete? With this many girls by my side, I won't have the time. There should be something else I can do.

Starting up a business? But I don't have the capital nor the idea to implement.

"They?"

Of all things that's what she picked up, eh?

"My girls, there's not only Kana and Haruko. I don't want them to worry about me."

Being this honest with her. I guess I'm already including her in my plan for the future.

"I see. So there's not only Kana-senpai and the senpai from the infirmary…"

She fell silent for a minute before muttering those.

"Based on your knowledge, I'm probably a playboy in your eyes now."

If she used her knowledge that is. She already knew that I have Kana and Haruko. That didn't stop her to be curious about me which led to our earlier entanglement.

"No. That's not what I'm thinking! I'm just thinking if I will still have a place."

Mirae immediately rejected and corrected me.

"I will not confess to you if you don't have a place. Also, it's fine to think that way, I already accepted that my way of life will not be accepted by a lot of people but I will still strive to make it happen."

"Y-you're amazing that way."

How is that amazing? It'll be despised by almost everyone for sure. Or some of them will just be too envious to accept it. Right?

"Really? Thanks, Mirae."

Putting down the last equipment to be sorted out, I went next to her and thanked her.

With this, we're done with our task.

"Ruki... Thank you."

After making sure everything is in order, Mirae turned to me and also muttered her gratitude.

"Why are you also thanking me?"

"For helping me be myself now."

Why do they always credit it to me? I'm just someone who's giving them the first push to change themselves.

"I only reminded you, it's you yourself who made that happen."

"That's enough for me. Apart from you, no one ever pointed it out to me."

Mirae shook her head. It can't be that there's no one, maybe she just couldn't accept it before. My forceful nature back then made her understand that what I'm saying is true.

"I see. Maybe that's also why you became curious about me."

There's another girl whose curiosity towards me will probably blow up soon. I set her aside because of her troublesome nature but I guess I should also deal with her soon. To keep the harmony back in that clubroom?

Err… I'm the one who destroyed that harmony now I'm trying to bring it back.

"Un. I couldn't forget you since that day in the infirmary."

"So Mirae's always thinking about me, eh?"

Since we're done, Mirae herself pulled me to the same corner as earlier. Despite the accumulating heat, she stuck close to me.

"You're still a mystery, Ruki. Uhm. What else do you want to know?"

Mystery. You already uncovered most of the mystery, you know?

"Ah. Right. What else? I really want to know what I should do to make this successful."

"Make what successful?"

I keep thinking about what to do but with these issues piling up, it's kind of hard to focus. There's the thing with Shio, the meeting with Otoha's grandfather, getting Himeko recognized by her father. Also, add my nature to steal or to get someone I like.

I know I should pause but if you're in my shoes and have this kind of nature, it will be proven more difficult if I forcefully stop it.

"Living with everyone in the future."

"Uhm, it actually depends if it's only you or the others will also help."

I see. I only factored my involvement to make it successful but if they also chip in...

"They will surely help. What about you, Mirae?"

They're all strong women, they won't let me shoulder it myself even if I insist.

"Eh? Why me too?"

Though I already expressed my liking to her, she still couldn't help but be surprised after hearing my words.

"I also want to see you with me in the future."

I lifted her chin and planted a kiss to it. She asked for this earlier but when I really did it, she failed to react quickly.

"Uhh… then if that happened I'll help too."

After feeling my lips upon hers, it took her awhile to collect herself.

"Then Mirae-sensei, I'll rely on your knowledge to help me know more things I keep on skipping."

Asking her about something I don't know, I guess she'll be like my walking encyclopedia. Now that she started to think for herself, she can now also mix in her own opinions. And for me that will really be helpful.

"Don't call me sensei. It feels distant."

She started to respond to my kiss and in no time, we're back to the state before the PE Teacher called out to us earlier. We still have some time before the PE class ends and so…

"Alright. Rae."

Changing my way of calling her. Rae blushed beautifully as she showed how pleased she was with it.

"Ruki…"

Taking the lead from me. Rae started to become bolder as her kisses slowly went down to my neck.

Of course, I'm not someone who will let her do everything. Taking the lead back from her, every part of her neck and down to her collarbone wasn't spared. I only made sure not to leave a mark and not go below it. I said to take it slow so that could wait.

Just like this, our Agreement for this week is about to end. With her becoming this curious about me, it'll just be a matter of time before that turned to something else.
