Soon after my talk with Ichihara-san wherein I somehow ended up taking the job offer of instructing her daughter once a week, I went to Ayus office to get my salary and obviously to spend some time with her while Sena was still in the changing room.

I got praised for the completion of my program as Ayu proudly exclaimed how right she was for hiring me. But at the same time, she pointed out some of her criticisms on how I conducted it.

Yep. The first half of my stay in her office wasnt us being lovey-dovey or intimate with each other. Its Ayu getting it on as my boss and recruiter.

I listened to everything she had to say before defending some of my decisions. Some because I know that the other points of criticism she listed were reasonable and should be subject to change once the program resets in two weeks.

In the end, this still wasnt my field of expertise so I would continue to rely on Ayus views and at the same time, appreciate all the help she poured in for me.

Speaking of which, that appreciation was instantly translated as soon as we switched gears. I went over to her side and picked her up in my arms and did the thing that I was confident to be really good at; making my girls feel special.

Although Ayus boldness had started to increase ever since her guilt disappeared or was thrown to the back of her head, shes still no match for me when it comes to being on the offensive.

Because I tend always to give way to my girls satisfaction these past few days, I got a little heated up with how Ayu welcomed me wholeheartedly. And thats despite still feeling the embarrassment from her yesterdays venting of frustrations where she got to pull out what I was hiding in my pants.

In any case, we really didnt reach the same point as yesterday Its just me spoiling the passionate boxer because we might not see each other for a week again.

Its better to have something to remember, right? To cull the growing anticipation that led her to be a little out of control like yesterday.

Hey, dont forget to contact me. Ayu reminded me. She had a straight expression but through her eyes, I could see the hint of concern. She probably wanted to say more but she refrained from doing so. Its her way to still keep up appearances that shes a strong woman who wouldnt just simply cling to me.

Well, I had already seen her in a vulnerable state just minutes earlier. Shes affectionately clinging to me so doing this was kinda futile. Nonetheless, I nodded and put on an assuring smile to satisfy her, Mhm. I will. Also, the photo from earlier Keep them coming.

You pervert. Dont show it to anyone else!

Upon leaving Ayus office. I went to pick up Sena at the changing room where she said she would be waiting for me.

However, I was surprised when Kujou Marika, even though she didnt really need to change, was there with her, joyously conversing with her about something trivial.

When they saw me entering, Sena forced a smile as though saying I cant get her off my back while Kujou-senpai crossed her arms with the same graceful nature as her lips and eyebrows raised slightly.

Junior-kun. I believe this is the womens changing room. Must you be here? Are you hoping to see us in a delicate situation?

I asked him to pick me up here, Marika-san.

My, I apologize for my baseless assumption.

Although she said that, Kujou Marikas expression didnt change. Her eyes focused on me, keenly waiting for what my reaction would be.

After that talk with Ichihara-san, my cautiousness around her rose once again Even if she didnt have any ulterior motive for being here with Sena, better to tread carefully around her.

No. Its fine. Im still in the wrong here. Ill wait outside.

After saying that, I quickly left the room and like I said waited for them to come out.

The wait wasnt long. Five minutes later, both Sena and Kujou Marika emerged from it and the three of us left the Boxing Gym together.

Of course, the car along with its driver and her bodyguards were already waiting for Kujou-senpai right before the entrance.

They all seemed alert, especially when they saw her walking alongside me. I was sandwiched between the two, after all.

In any case, they wouldnt just go guns blazing against me when I wasnt even doing anything. However, I spotted one of them radioing something to someone

Are they not from her family? Are they actually from the Ichihara's?

Well, if Ichihara Jun caught wind of this and they successfully IDd me as a junior in their school, I had to expect a greater disturbance in my school life starting tomorrow.

But thats the worst-case scenario. Who knows? Nothing might actually happen and thats for the best.

Right. I still have that request of pulling the girl out of Ichihara Juns grasp. But considering the identity of that girl and the one I assumed to order her to do that, I needed more time to prepare That way, there wouldnt be ensuing problems in the aftermath.

Junior-kun, I can give you a ride home, if you want.

Perhaps seeing that she wouldnt be able to join us anymore, Kujou-senpai brought that up.

Thats a generous offer but even if I wasnt worried about the girls at home, Id rather ride with Hitomi than a bunch of men in suits like them.

No, but thanks for the offer, senpai.

Is that so? What about you, Sena-san?

Im good, Marika-san. My house is near and Ruki will be walking me home.

Hmm. I see. See you in school then, Junior-kun. And nice meeting you again, Sena.

Faced with the rejection of the two of us, Kujou Marikas mood remained bright and cheerful. After saying all that she walked over to the car that was already held open by one of the men in suit. Before the car door closed, she once again looked at us and waved.

We waved back before watching the car, along with its convoys drive away from the gym

Sena and I watched in slight amazement until it disappeared from our sight.

Ruki You better steal her. Sena muttered silently as soon as she recovered from it.

This girl, what are you saying there? I told you everything I knew about her, right? Shes either the cunning type or the devoted type. Her family was also extraordinary. And lastly, I dont feel that way about her.

Upon hearing that, Sena laughed before hooking her arms on me, You say all that but getting Otoha, Mizuki and Mihos family didnt stop you. And whats that about Mirae? Isnt she from a powerful family as well? Hmm, thinking about it, those dont matter to you. Only the last point matters, am I right?

Yes Thats how it is for all of you. Either she makes me become interested in her or I grow fond of her. But at the moment, the interest I had towards her was whether shed be an enemy or just a senior I get along with.

Its still early to say more. But one thing is for sure That girl came here after knowing that I am the Instructor and she acted like she didnt know about it when we arrived at the gym.
