"I Wanna Fondle Them Too" (Oppai Momitai) - Chapter 24

Chapter 24

The corridor, where the bell just rang, was deserted, save for a few students passing by.

Miko, still holding hands, stares apologetically at Natsuhiko’s ear.

“I’m sorry, Natsu-kun. Does it hurt?”

“No, no! It didn’t hurt at all! It’s just fine, or to say I can’t stop being happy! Hahaha! … Though I’m the one who said something stupid in the first place, I’m sorry about that…”

It’s no wonder that Natsuhiko was taken aback by the perverted things he said.

And of course, Miko wasn’t surprised. She shook her head and denied his apology.

On the contrary,

“Miko-chan?”

She stops walking.

She then bows her head with a sad expression.

“I’m really sorry.”

“Eh?”

“It’s because I got angry, Natsu-kun, and now it became awkward for you to go back to class… I think I may have offended that beautiful Senpai as well…”

Her hand felt so weak that if he didn’t hold it, she might fall away.

Her fragile appearance urges his heart to protect her.

However, even though Natsuhiko felt this way, he was the one who was saved by her.

The girl who defended him is still worried thinking about him.

If that’s the case, he knew what he had to do.

“Huh? Natsu-kun?”

Natsuhiko held her hand with even more strength but with care.

He would never let her go.

And then he reassured her by saying,

“I’m sorry that you’ve to worry because of me. But you shouldn’t. Everything is fine now.”

“But…”

“It’s not like everyone in my class was suspicious of me because they hate me. They were just too surprised that I have such a pretty girlfriend like you. So, no one should be offended by something like that, and especially not Kohaku— you know the girl with the Kansai dialect, so don’t worry about it.”

“… Really?”

“Yeah. She’s manly and tough, but she’s the friend who understands me the most.”

Natsuhiko, who added, “I’m the most confused because she understands so much though,” also favored Kohaku. They trust each other because they’re buddies, thus he wasn’t worried about anything.

Natsuhiko paused for a moment.

And said,

“So…”

“So…?”

“I’m going to do my best so that everyone will believe that I’m the perfect boyfriend for you.”

“…!”

To his words, Miko’s eyes became even bigger.

Natsuhiko embarrassingly smiled at the surprised look on her face.

“It’s a pitiful story but when we were trying to catch up with other kids… huh? M-Miko-chan?”

She didn’t need to hear the story. She didn’t have the patience, to begin with.

As if to say so, Miko embraces Natsuhiko head-on.

It was a very loving hug, and she even put her hands behind his back.

“…!”

On this day. Natsuhiko’s heart had been beating faster and faster since early in the morning!

They were in the middle of the hallway, so he didn’t know when anyone would see them, which made his heartbeat even faster.

“Mi, Miko-chan…! I think this is not the best place for…”

“If you’re going to do your best, I’m going to do the same!”

This time, Natsuhiko’s eyes widened with surprise.

“I’ll do my best to be a girlfriend that suits you, Natsu-kun. So, let’s do our best, Okay!”

Natsuhiko’s heart exploded as Miko looked up at him with a generous smile!

The question arises, “If Miko-chan does her best, the difference with me will not close?”, But it is a trivial problem for him now.

Because it was just a matter of him working harder.

Natsuhiko realized that once he was hugged, her petite head was in just the right position.

He had no choice but to pat it.

He carefully caressed her head, from top to bottom, over and over again, stroking her shiny, silky hair.

The more he brushed, the more he felt blessed.

“Ehehe…♪”

The more he stroked, the more he heard her pleasant voice.

Natsuhiko couldn’t help but feel the urge to hug her.

However, he felt the only way he can hug her is if he becomes a worthy man.

Guh! He holds back his feelings and limits himself to pat her head.
