Miss Divine Thief Won't Say "So Fragrant"

Kamuro Masumi walked slowly, feigning composure.

After leaving the convenience store, the refreshing breeze blew, gradually cooling the heated emotions in her head.

As a student who had received a basic education, she knew that stealing was wrong, and she also knew that at her age, she was not allowed to drink alcohol.

If she were caught, it really wouldn't be a small matter.

The joy of a successful theft and the lingering fear were intertwined, and her heart rate had yet to settle down even now.

It must have been an illusion, surely.

Just now in the convenience store, Kamuro Masumi felt like someone was watching her.

But she hadn't let that stop her actions.

Kamuro Masumi had felt this way the first time she stole something as well.

With every subsequent theft, she had experienced a similar sensation.

To this day, she still hadn't been caught even once.

Scaring myself for nothing.

Kamuro Masumi touched the beer can hidden in her shoulder bag, intending to throw it away in a little while.

She didn't like drinking beer; she only enjoyed the base thrill and sense of accomplishment that came from the heart-pounding fear after stealing.

On the other hand, fantasizing about being spurned, being pointed at and scolded, having to admit her own shamelessness, and being forced to apologize with her head pressed down—although humiliating, it felt quite intense.

"Excuse me, student."

Kamuro Masumi turned around and saw a handsome-looking boy jogging over.

She had assumed he was just coming over to hit on her.

Until...

"Did you take a can of beer from the convenience store just now?"

Makoto Nishikado leaned in and asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Kamuro Masumi's hand.

Seeing Makoto Nishikado staring at her hand, Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but tense up involuntarily.

Between the convenience store and the beer, this boy must have seen everything.

"Are you certain I stole something?"

Kamuro Masumi asked calmly.

Before she made her move, she had carefully observed the convenience store's security cameras.

She had only acted after confirming that her position was in a blind spot.

The only thing she was worried about was if he would forcibly try to check her bag.

Even if she accused him of harassment, as long as they checked her backpack, she would be exposed.

"I'm so handsome, did you really not notice me when you were stealing just now?"

Makoto Nishikado acted as if he had been struck, brushing his hair back in distress.

He wasn't a professional hide-and-seek master, and he hadn't been far from Kamuro Masumi in the store; to think he had gone completely unnoticed!

He had thought that his natural beauty was impossible to ignore, that he would radiate brilliance wherever he went and couldn't possibly be overlooked.

He was still too narcissistic.

"Tch! So what if I stole it? Are you going to tell the school?"

Kamuro Masumi was very annoyed.

She had been so careful, yet she had been discovered anyway.

She didn't care anymore and took that can of beer out of her school bag.

Since she had been caught, she would accept the consequences.

Whatever the outcome, she would own up to it.

"Don't misunderstand, put it away first. I have no intention of exposing you."

Makoto Nishikado waved his hand with a smile.

He had timed his approach perfectly; there was no one else around.

[Triggered Kamuro Masumi's emotions, gained 623 emotional points.]

"Then what are you here for?"

Kamuro Masumi put the beer back into her shoulder bag, crossed her arms, and looked at Makoto Nishikado vigilantly.

According to her fantasies, the other party should be saying, "Student, you wouldn't want the school to find out about your stealing, would you?"

Kamuro Masumi would never accept such a threat!

"I'm just here to remind you that someone filmed what you did."

Makoto Nishikado offered a "kind" reminder.

"Who is it?"

Kamuro Masumi instinctively thought of the convenience store clerk, then began to imagine some rather peculiar scenarios.

"Don't worry, she's a very cute girl, though she's incredibly fierce. You'll probably end up being her loyal dog in the future."

"Stop joking around. There's no way I'd ever be anyone's loyal dog!"

"Don't be ungrateful for the blessings you have. If it were anyone else, they'd be fighting to be a dog for a wealthy loli in a camisole and white stockings. If I encountered such a good thing, I'd be happy even if it cost me my entire fortune!"

"If you like it so much, go be her dog yourself."

Kamuro Masumi's face was written with pure disdain.

She didn't believe for a second that she would ever be someone's dog.

Even if her kleptomania were exposed, she wouldn't do something like that.

"Are you sure? Then good luck."

Makoto Nishikado's expression turned strange.

If he didn't know the plot, he might have actually believed her.

It was strange, though.

Kamuro Masumi wasn't even afraid of her shoplifting being exposed, so how exactly did Sakayanagi Arisu manage to tame her?

Makoto Nishikado decided to get to the bottom of it.

"If you don't have anything else to say, I'm leaving."

Kamuro Masumi didn't take Makoto Nishikado's words to heart and turned to walk away.

"Wait a second, do you want to exchange contact information with me?"

Makoto Nishikado pulled out his personal terminal.

Up until now, other than the students in Class B, he hadn't added anyone else.

"Why would I add you?"

Kamuro Masumi said this, yet she still took out her own personal terminal.

After successfully adding each other, Makoto Nishikado waved goodbye with a smile.

"When you bow your head in defeat and truly become her loyal dog, we'll meet again. Your expression will surely be spectacular then."

Makoto Nishikado returned her personal terminal, his smile growing even brighter.

[Triggered Kamuro Masumi's emotions, obtained 365 emotion points.]

"You're going to be disappointed."

Kamuro Masumi didn't believe it for a second.

She, Kamuro Masumi, would never be a slave!

"Want to make a bet? If you lose, how about going on a date with me another day?"

Makoto Nishikado turned and walked away immediately after the invitation, not giving Kamuro Masumi a chance to refuse.

"Wait a minute, that's really going too far."

Kamuro Masumi felt a bit angry.

Makoto Nishikado had asked her to wait twice, and she had stopped both times.

This time, she asked him to wait, and the man didn't even pause.

Furthermore, Makoto Nishikado hadn't even mentioned what kind of punishment he would accept if he lost.

This bet was completely lopsided!

Before Kamuro Masumi could get too angry, a message popped up on her personal terminal.

[Makoto Nishikado: I didn't mention my own punishment because it means if I lose, you can make any request you want.]

"Hmph, cunning man."

After reading the message, Kamuro Masumi felt much better.

She gave Makoto Nishikado's approach a nine out of ten.

If she lost, she would naturally honor the bet, just like when she was caught stealing beer.

But would she lose this time?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Leaving Kamuro Masumi behind, Makoto Nishikado returned to Dorm 502 with a bag of daily necessities before heading out for another stroll.

He wasn't just wandering aimlessly; he was memorizing the locations of all the school's security cameras and their blind spots.

Just as Makoto Nishikado finished his rounds and prepared to grab dinner, a system notification arrived.

Unless something unexpected happened, Kamuro Masumi must have already realized that she had been tamed by Sakayanagi Arisu.

She didn't even manage to hold out for half a day.

Poor thief, being played in the palm of that rich loli's hand.

After Makoto Nishikado finished sighing, he had no intention of letting Kamuro Masumi off the hook and sent a message directly.

[Makoto Nishikado: Miss Thief, if we were to go on a date, where would you like to go?]

[Kamuro Masumi: !]
