"I Wanna Fondle Them Too" (Oppai Momitai) - Chapter 41
"Please support me on Ko-fi! Thank you!"
Chapter 41
After one more flip of the dough, it was Miko’s turn to ask a question.
“What do you usually do on your days off, Natsu-kun?”
“I guess… I usually go to Kohaku’s house to play games or read manga.”
She was using a brush to apply sauce to the okonomiyaki, but then her hand stopped.
“Kohaku, that good-looking senpai?”
“Heh? good-looking?”
Natsuhiko, unable to understand the meaning of the words, was in a daze for a while.
A few seconds later, he was convinced, “Ah~”.
“No-no! The good-looking senpai is Souji Izumi and the oafish Kansai girl is Kohaku Saeki.
“What? It seems so…”
“… But Kohaku is also good-looking…?”
When Miko nodded, Natsuhiko involuntarily thought of his bad friend.
She has big, sassy eyes and a big mouth that enables her to speak out of her wits. When she’s on the losing end of a game, her eyes are even sharper, and her mouth becomes even more foul-mouthed.
However, when you are truly enjoying yourself, your radiant smile has a charm that makes even the person next to you smile.
“Indeed… she’s also beautiful…”
Natsuhiko muttered and then sighed.
Because the Miko in front of him is looking at him intently.
Stare~~~~
Even Natsuhiko, who had lived a life far from romance, could understand why she was looking at him like that.
More importantly. The more he gets to know Kohaku, the more he finds her disappointing. He knows very well that she is a monster hunter specialist and a killer at first sight.
He spends his private time with a beautiful girl, not only on weekdays but even on holidays.
Come to think of it, it would be strange if nothing happened.
And if it’s Miko who can’t stop loving Natsuhiko, that’s even worse.
“No-no-no”
Natsuhiko panicked and waved his hands.
“Oh, don’t worry! Nothing like what you think, it’s impossible with Kohaku!”
“… Really? Like, you are actually in love with each other that you are unaware of…?”
“There is no such thing!”
“Natsu-kun and Kohaku-san used to play together…”
“I don’t have a past like that either!”
The more desperately Natsuhiko tried to explain, the more swollen her cheeks became
The more it grew, the more Natsuhiko wondered how he could clear up the misunderstanding.
Evidence is better than argument.
But he had no evidence. And he wasn’t even good enough to argue.
Then, he must show his sincerity.
Natsuhiko clasped his hands together in a popular gesture of Fullmetal Alchemist and worshipped the goddess Miko-gami.
He said with all his heart and soul,
“I swear! The only one I love is you, Miko-chan!”
“… Hmph… Pfft…”
“Eh?”
In response to his vow, he heard a small chuckle.
Natsuhiko couldn’t help but look up.
“Mi-Miko-chan?”
In front of him, while holding her mouth with her hands, she was trying hard to hold her laughter.
When Natsuhiko’s eyes flickered, Miko couldn’t take it anymore and laughed out loud.
“~~~~I can’t do this anymore! Natsu-kun, you are being too hasty!”
“Aren’t you mad at me, Miko-chan?”
“No, I’m not.”
“… Ehh?”
“It was so cute to see Natsu-kun panic that I couldn’t resist playing a prank on you ♪”
“Ehhhh?”
She stuck out her tongue at the anticipated response.
As if to say it was a great success.
“I don’t get angry just because you play together. In fact, I admire the fact that you are friends regardless of gender.”
“I don’t have any proof, still you believe me?”
“As I said, I trust you, Natsu-kun”
“..!”
Natsuhiko was about to spill tears on the griddle.
He thought once again, “I have to take good care of Miko-chan so that she doesn’t get swept away by some strange man.”
While he was making a passionate vow, Miko had finished sprinkling mayonnaise, green onions, and dried bonito flakes on the okonomiyaki. She then placed the okonomiyaki on Natsuhiko’s plate.
Then, she cut the okonomiyaki into pieces with her chopsticks and blew on it.
For herself?
No…
“I’m sorry for being so mean to you. Please accept my apologies.”
“!!!”
This was her apology, or rather her apology okonomiyaki.
Natsuhiko’s heart was pounding uncontrollably at this sudden offer.
Natsuhiko asked, “Are you sure?” and his eyes lit up when Miko smiled and replied, “Of course♪”
For the fifth time today, Natsuhiko opened his mouth to eat the okonomiyaki full of affection, wrapped in a sense of happiness that made him think “I could die…”
But just as he was about to do so.
“Natsu-kun, Natsu-kun!”
“Hmm?”
“You know. I’d like to hear what you said earlier one more time.”
“Just now? Ah!”
Once he understood what Miko was asking, Natsuhiko couldn’t help but blush.
He didn’t want to say it out loud. He meant it, but he was still embarrassed to say it again.
However, if he didn’t say it, he wouldn’t be able to eat the excellent okonomiyaki in front of his mouth.
He wanted to eat it. But he was still embarrassed.
He hesitated for a moment.
▶The best okonomiyaki or his petty pride.
Winner, the best okonomiyaki.
“Well, um, the only one I love is you, Miko-chan…!”
At the proposal-like words, Miko’s expression became even more cheerful.
“Yes. I love you too, Natsu-kun ♪”
Natsuhiko’s mouth was filled with okonomiyaki as a reward.
(I can die now…!)
The freshly made okonomiyaki was quite hot.
But for Natsuhiko, it was at room temperature.
