"I Wanna Fondle Them Too" (Oppai Momitai) - V2 Chapter 26

Chapter 26

After being comforted by Miko, the three continued to follow Souji and the woman.

They went past many stores that were all targeting young women on the low slope hill.

Even the café shops were of variety, including quaint little cafés renovated from old houses, botanical cafés surrounded by colorful flowers and ornamental plants, and Scandinavian cafés with unique interior furnishings.

Needless to say, as Natsuhiko had only recently started going on café dates with Miko, it was still a hurdle for him to walk alone.

The more he walked up such a fancy street, the more Souji’s good-looking nature was revealed.

“I wonder if that is the secret to his popularity.”

“There’s no denying it.”

“Maybe.”

He casually swapped the positions with the woman walking on the side of the roadway, or carried her tote bag for her. If she was about to bump into someone, he gently pulled her over.

They also went to a fancy store decorated with huge stuffed animals, or a handmade goods store with antique accessories. He was so considerate that he stopped in front of stores that he would have hated, even without being told to.

Their Evaluation. He was so gentlemanly that it was infuriating.

No wonder why JKs and JDs passing by were so excited.

“Emoi… he’s so mature even though he is younger than me!”

“My boyfriend is older than me, but he’s not that cool at all, how Emoi…”

“He looks cold at first glance but he is actually kind. He’s super emoi!”

New Evaluation. Souji is super Emoi.

[TLN: I think many of you would know since its a popular word, but if you don’t, https://justalittlejapanese.com/what-does-emoi-mean/]

Right now, the two of them were in front of a tapioca store and were exchanging some friendly banter.

She offered her drink to Souji as if to say, “Take a sip.”

He shaked his head awkwardly, and she giggled happily at his troubled reaction.

As for Natsuhiko, this was the moment of concern. The moment Souji made an indirect kiss, the possibility that he was cheating on his girlfriend became almost a certainty.

Although he couldn’t hear what they were talking about, “I can’t drink because I have a girlfriend,” would be a perfect 100-point answer, and “I’m embarrassed because I’m in public” would still not clear his suspicions.

But Kohaku’s predictions were terrible.

“I don’t want tapioca. I want a dessert, you know?”

“There’s no way Souji would say such a lame line.”

“Ch-ch-ch. Actually one can if he’s handsome. It’s just like how if an average guy wears vintage clothes, people would say he’s tacky and dirty, but if he’s handsome, people would say he’s stylish and looks like Sugata.”

“It’s too blatant…”

Kohaku put her hand on Natsuhiko’s shoulder and smiled with a sad face.

“You’ve to understand. The weight of words was different between Natsuhiko Kasai, an average guy, and Souji Izumi, a handsome guy. See?”

“You’re making me cry, you jerk!”

“Pu—-hahaha!!!”

Beside the teary eyed Natsuhiko, Kohaku was standing with a big laugh. Miko desperately comforted him again saying, “Wow, I’d be happy if Natsu-kun told me, I would rather have you”

“Ha~~~ It was funny. Anyway that’s not the point, Natsu and Miko-chan. Don’t you think it’s strange?”

“What do you mean…?”

“What’s so strange about it, Kohaku-san?” When Miko asked, she continued.

“You know, they haven’t entered the store at all since a while. If they wanted to chat they could’ve entered the store.”

“”.. Indeed.””

Since Souji came all this way to meet up with the woman, he had not once entered a store as if to avoid it at all cost, although he did wait for her outside!

“Now that you mentioned it, I wonder why? It feels like he’s playing it smoothly knowing where they’re heading…”

“I feel the same… Plus, it’s getting a little bit off the downtown streets, right?”

Miko stood as tall as she could and looked at the view ahead of the two they were following.

The fancy townscape was slowly fading away, turning into a town with a variety of stores, including real estate agencies, cram schools, dry cleaners, and so on, just about everywhere, so to speak.

The more they followed, the more they noticed housewives chatting with each other and elementary school kids playing in the park.

Narrow roads where apartments and even houses have become noticeable.

“Is he planning to stay overnight, like a sleepover date?”

“”!?””

Natsuhiko was in a panic as Kohaku made a bombshell statement, a development he had dared not to think about.

“No, no, no! He and Kanade-san have known each other since childhood, but there’s no way they’re staying at his house!”

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be at Souji’s house. Besides, what else could it be if it’s not a sleepover date?”

“If it’s not a sleepover date… then what?”

“There’s also a possibility that they’re in that kind of relationship…”

“That… what do you wanna say!?”

Natsuhiko looked at Kohaku’s right hand, which she slowly raised, and he couldn’t close his open mouth.

It was no wonder. It wasn’t just a clenched fist, but a thumb inserting between the index and middle finger.

In other words, it was a hand sign symbolizing obscenity.

“~~~~!”

After all, Miko was a girl of her age. She seemed to know the meaning of the hand sign and awkwardly looked away.

Like during a family meal, an H scene played on TV, and the entire room was frozen solid.

Breaking the silence, or rather, unable to bear it anymore, Natsuhiko shouted.

“A-anyway! Now let’s follow him till the end!”

“We must’ve already lost him by now”

“S-shut up!”

While disregarding Kohaku’s opinion, he pulled red-faced Miko’s hand and walked into the corner where the two disappeared.

Then the three of them stopped at their feet.

They have arrived at the place where Souji and the woman were supposed to be.
