Stealing Spree

Chapter 2106: Punishment Game



"This is... Onoda-kun, I'll give you ten points! Good job for bringing us presents!" Grabbing the strawberry crepe from my hand, the tomboyish Eri happily munched it down before giving me a thumbs up. Her cheeks gradually puffed up as she bit more and more without chewing. It made her look like a squirrel trying to hide the whole nut in her stretchy mouth.

That sounded a little wrong, huh?

Anyways...

I also handed one of the crepes I bought to the other girl next to her.

Unlike Eri, the gyaru-ish yet level-headed Futaba shyly accepted it while sporting an embarrassed smile.

"Don't mind her, Onoda-kun. Thank you for this..."

Holding herself back from scolding Eri, the girl also took a bite and her eyes instantly lit up.

The crepe wasn't anything special but like Fuyu, the sweetness really hits the spot for all three of them. It was a good decision to buy one for them as well.

After a while, Futaba raised her head and curiously asked.

"But may I ask? Why do I feel like we're getting spoiled with sweets every time we visit your house?"

Are they getting spoiled? Remembering the last time that they were here, I did spoil them with a whole tub of ice cream. Even when they said it was enough, I still scooped up another serving for them.

Too bad, Eimi was also with us back then. That girl couldn't get permission for a sleepover yet.

"You're imagining things, Futaba. What about a cake next time?" I playfully smirked, triggering the girl.

"See! You're maliciously feeding us sweets. It will be your fault if we gain weight!"

"Don't worry about that, Akane here will help you with an effective exercise routine to burn those calories."

After saying that, I turned around and faced my silly wife clinging to my back, ignoring her fuming friend who still couldn't stop munching on her crepe.

Akane obediently matched my movements as she moved to my front. Raising her head and opening her mouth wide, she intended to receive my offering of crepe by having me feed it to her.

What a spoiled wife. I still love her for all these silly antics though.

"Husband is right, Futaba. Leave it to me if you need a weight-loss routine." Akane winked at her friend before taking a bite at the crepe that I dangled to her.

Behind her, Fuyu laughingly shook her head at her friends' display. But maybe remembering her own display earlier, she lowered her head and hid her flustered expression from everyone.

Mhm... This being the first scene after arriving home, I somehow felt my fatigue abating slightly. It feels extremely refreshing and relaxing as our living room becomes filled with the sounds of laughter and also their involuntary chewing sounds.

Shortly after, I carried Akane with me and joined the other two on our sofa.

Fuyu, who soon recovered, went to the kitchen and brought back a tray of juice. I could see her eyes sticking on me but she's quite tough in enduring her desire to jump on my lap like Akane.

The time was already past eight and the sleepover had yet to officially start.

I mean, there was still dinner but they ate their dessert first.

There's still a piece left but that was for me.

Well then. The crepes were the appetizer.

No one was hungry yet anyway.

With the console still turned on and the girls engrossed by the fighting game they were playing, time passed raucously as the controllers got passed around along with taunts and a series of laughter.

Naturally, I was also a little bad at the game.

Eventually, Eri brought up a stake in the game. However, it was hinged at my disadvantage which I still took to humor them.

Every time they would defeat me, she wanted me to complete one of their requests.

"There we go. I won, Onoda-kun!" Eri rejoiced as all of us watched my character get kicked in the face and lose all of his HP

As the one who proposed it, the girl was extremely confident that she would win. And win, she did.

I shrugged and then passed the controller to Akane and faced Eri who was already thinking of what to request from me.

"Onoda-kun, I'm thirsty. Bring me juice."

I saw her eyes radiate with some sort of mischief but reeled it in. Most likely to create some build-up on what she wanted to do.

I followed it and filled a glass of juice for the girl. Eri happily received it before commending me like a queen to her servant.

"Good luck, Onoda-kun. If you win, you can also request from us... What do you think?"

"Isn't that common sense?"

"Sure it is. Want a rematch?"

She's really enjoying this, isn't she? Akane and Fuyu were silent but like Eri, they were waiting for their turn to beat me.

Oh. It's not just them. Futaba was just the same. As Akane handed the controller back to me, she grabbed the other controller from Eri's hands.

"Shut it, Eri. It's my turn next. Onoda-kun, it's fine right?" Futaba turned to me, an unusual smirk hanging on her lips.

"Futaba, I can sense a dangerous glint in your eyes, are you planning to get back at me

through this game?"

That's the only explanation. She couldn't accept all that sugar without getting back at me.

And sure enough, she didn't deny it.

"Heh. Nice observation, Onoda-kun. You can turn this around if you win, right?"

As if it's that easy. She's the strongest among them! She had an undefeated record against all

of us before Eri suggested a stake.

I wryly smiled and nodded. But then an idea popped up in my head.

Why not make this more interesting?

I pulled my silly wife to my lap and shamelessly grinned.

"Sure. Akane, I need a boost. Kiss me."

Akane didn't think twice and happily obeyed my words.

She pulled my head down and kissed me under the watch of Eri and Futaba.

The girl who just challenged me was speechless and the tomboyish girl covered her face but

she opened a gap for one of her eyes to continue watching.

As for Fuyu who moved to Akane's side, she sneakily pinched my side.

Did I do something foul? Nah.

I'm just enlivening the game.

After savoring that kiss, I turned my head to Futaba, "Alright. I got my boost. Let's go."

Futaba gradually recovered and then giggled as though she had just seen something hilarious, "I should've expected this from you, Onoda-kun."

Without letting what she saw affect her, the next round of the game started.

After all that posturing and display of shamelessness, Futaba destroyed me in three perfect

rounds.

Am I this terrible at this game?

"It can't be helped. I win, Onoda-kun." With a smug grin as radiant as the finishing move of her character, Futaba made a V-sign in front of me with her tongue cutely sticking out. "I wonder. How should I punish you?"

When did the request turn into punishment? She's this mad for being fed with sweets, huh?

But well, she won fair and square. It won't be fun if I renege on that.

"I'm at your mercy, Futaba."

Upon hearing that, her pleasant laughter filled the living room.

On my side, Akane and Fuyu also started giggling as though they already knew what kind of

request their friend would make.

"Sure. Don't hate me for this but I want you to tickle Eri for 30 seconds!"

"Oi?! Shouldn't you say that to me as well? How did I get involved with your punishment?"

Suddenly, the girl at her side who was still sipping her juice in triumph jumped up in fright.

"Oh. You can resist Onoda-kun if you want. That is... if you can stop him. Akane and Fuyu, this

is fine, right?"

Upon hearing that, it was my turn to be left speechless. But Akane and Fuyu didn't even voice

a complaint... They're also looking forward to my performance.

As my eyes landed on Eri, the girl was spooked. She immediately ran away and hid behind the

unoccupied sofa on the left.

The sleepover hadn't started yet and this was already happening...
