"I Wanna Fondle Them Too" (Oppai Momitai) - V2 Chapter 38
"Please support me on Ko-fi! Thank you!"
Chapter 38
“~~~~~! No! If all are Miko-chan, I’ll die from happiness!”
“Is the Miko-chan backfired?”
Once you saw Natsuhiko writhing with joy, you could say that “Miko-chan multiple shadow clone jutsu” had failed.
“My bad. The Miko-chan wasn’t good.”
“Eh…?”
“But don’t be sad…”
Though Souji was dismayed, it didn’t stop him from offering another woman.
“How about Kohaku?”
“Kohaku!?”
“Yeah. Though her specs are high, she isn’t too bad, right?”
“I-indeed…”
Natsuhiko mumbled a remark that was extremely rude, and looked around the vast leisure pool again.
Even though she was not his beloved girlfriend, Kohaku was still his best friend. Using the flower garden filter of his brain, he created a Kansai woman panic around the whole area with ease.
Kohaku, Kohaku, Kohaku. Skip another, Kohaku. Revert back, Kohaku.
At the swimming pool, many Kohaku’s were competing in individual medleys.
If you look at the playground, you will see Kohaku and her friends with giant water guns, divided into teams and having a great time playing savage.
The hot-water Jacuzzi, which was the focus of attraction, and the Kohakus, who had turned into Ossan on their days off, hummed with relaxation, “Oh my goodness~~ it feels just right!”
(T-they’re not that old though…!)
As the fantasy continued, Natsuhiko imagined himself being entangled with a large number of Kohakus.
You could call it a Kohaku rush.
“Natsu, look, look! The sunburn is making the cord marks clearly visible! Haa! What are you staring at? You pervert!”
“Float for rentals? I don’t need it, because I can float on my tits.”
“Nah. Can I rent a Natsu? I’m looking for a water pistol target.”
“We’re the ones renting Natsu! I’ll use it in place of a bobsled!”
“That sounds really cool! We want to do Natsu-bobsledding too!”
A large number of Kohakus pulled Natsuhiko around like he was the sale clothes you have to bargain for.
And saying all at once,
“Whose playmate would you like to be, Natsu!” xn
Which made Natsuhiko return from his fantasy world in agony.
“~~~~~! No! If all are Kohakus, I’ll die from overwork!”
And the reason for his agony was not because he was happy, but because of pain.
Needless to say, the “Multiple shadow clone fantasy version Kohaku” was adopted.

Before evening, during the last break.
Natsuhiko and Souji were relaxing in the heated Jacuzzi, and the topic of conversation was exclusively about the present Souji was going to give to Kanade.
“What? You haven’t decided on a gift yet?”
“It’s no biggie.”
Natsuhiko thought back to a previous occasion. It was before his first date with Miko, when he asked Souji for his advice.
Souji at that time said that he also did not know where he wanted his girlfriend, Kanade, to take him or what she wanted from him.
“I’m sure Kanade-san would be happy with anything.”
“I agree. She’s just happy to spend every Christmas and anniversary with me.”
“Heh.”
“Why are you snickering?”
“Souji seems to be the type of person who gives presents to his girlfriend without much thought. Ouch it hurts!”
Was it a pinch of embarrassment, or just taking out his frustration on him? With jittery eyes, Souji attacked Natsuhiko’s flanks with a tingle. And since the water bubbling up in the air was so vicious the people around them didn’t notice a thing.
“You know, Natsuhiko.”
“Ha, yess…”
“You know how when you’ve been together for years, it’s pretty hard to figure out where to go on dates and what gifts to give?”
“Is that so…?”
Natsuhiko and Miko have been dating for a little over two months. Souji and Kanade’s dating period will soon be three years.
Once told by someone with experience, Natsuhiko couldn’t help but listen.
“Even though I say, ‘I’m fine with anywhere,’ she frequently says then she would also say, ‘Lately we’ve been going nowhere but to the movies all the time,’ or ‘would you like to go to a new beach that has been opened recently?’ When I responded with, ‘I told you that I’m fine with anywhere you want,’ she said, ‘So-chan doesn’t understand a maiden’s heart.’ I have no idea, that’s why I asked you where to go…!”
It was clear who had more say in the matter between Souji and Kanade.
The bubble that boiled up from below may be caused by the negative emotions of the grassroots.
“I wonder if I keep giving gifts every year on birthdays and anniversaries, what will I end up getting for them? A catalog or a gift certificate?”
“That’d be a year-end gift…”
“I know that Kanade would get mad if I gave her an end-of-year gift. But I can’t come up with ideas every time.”
What to gift on an occasion? The longer a couple had been together, the more likely it was to be a common problem.
Never underestimate them just because they were common.
If you give them a crappy gift, you’ll be branded as a “disappointment” by your wife, who will think, “This person has always had no sense of style.”
If you accidentally forget your anniversary, it will be the end of your life. The lunch box your wife gives you every morning will turn into a 500-yen coin.
“Once my mom was pissed off because my dad gave her cash on their anniversary. And she told him to use the money to buy her a present.”
“Hahaha…”
Souji was like his father.
“I get what Souji was trying to say. In the long run, you’ve only been dating for three years. Isn’t that a bit early for you to run out of ideas?”
“I don’t have a choice. We’ve known each other since childhood.”
“Hmm? Because you’re childhood friends? Ah! Because you’ve known each other since childhood, you’ve given each other gifts every year since before you started dating–! I get it, I get it, I won’t say any more, so please stop pinching me!”
Natsuhiko’s usual appeal to the public was that he was harmless to people and animals. But he somehow always ended up making Souji mad.
It was as if to say, ‘I don’t want to waste my time being pushed around by you.’ Souji sighed heavily and looked up at the afternoon sky.
“Necklaces, perfumes, stuffed-toys, cosmetics, pouches, cash…”
Neither this nor that. Everything was given before, or Kanade didn’t seem to be interested. This case was just like his father’s.
It was like chanting a curse. The more he muttered about his gift, the more his brow wrinkled.
No matter how good-looking he was, it was hard to get close to him when he mumbled and grumbled in a sulky manner.
In fact, including Natsuhiko and Souji there were only 10 people in the Jacuzzi pool.
How should Natsuhiko, seeing his friend in distress up close, react?
Worry together? Should he keep looking at him anxiously? Or leave him alone?
Tell him that all would be fine.
But Natsuhiko’s response was none of the above.
While looking at him, he grinned.
“An?”
Finally, Souji noticed his smirk and lifted the corners of his mouth.
“You know what? There’s going to come a day when you’re not a stranger, too.”
“Sorry, sorry! Even though Souji is popular with girls, I thought he was struggling a lot.”
“My bad…”
“And you know what?”
“What?”
“I thought, well, since you’ve been thinking about it so much, it’s no wonder Kanade-san likes your gift so much.”
Natsuhiko’s stupidly honest words made Souji’s expression, which should have been a frown, turn into a scowl.
Then, he blushed, looking itchy.
“… You’re still an embarrassment, what can I say to you…”
“I think it’s Souji who’s making me say embarrassing things.”
“Keep talking.”
“Igya…!”
Suddenly Souji drew a deadly weapon, a water gun with both his hands and pointed it at Natsuhiko. And then he shot him in the head, which seemed a bit childish.
It was said that a zombie who had been hit in the head will die, but unfortunately Natsuhiko was not a zombie.
As if to prove that idiots couldn’t be cured even if they were killed, he kept smiling.
As expected, Souji gave up, feeling that his smile was infectious.
“I never thought I’d be told that by someone who, just a few days ago, was worried about what to wear on a first date.”
“I didn’t mean to admonish you. I mean, what I’m saying is not much different from the advice I got from Souji.
Souji, who had a lot on his mind, muttered to himself, “That might have been it.”
“In the end, the gift I give her each time is something that I’m satisfied with, rather than something that she’s satisfied with.”
“I can’t interfere in those matters, but if you need help, let me know. I can do some research with you, or at least go shopping with you.”
“Okay. If I need help, I’ll talk to you.”
“R-really?”
“Oh, and Miko-chan too.”
“Oh, Miko!”
“Haha!”
He was expecting a request for help from him, but he was not surprised to find a lukewarm response.
Nevertheless, it must be a great progress. Until now, Souji would not have even complained, let alone asked for cooperation.
Though there were some disagreements about whether it was bittersweet or ecstatic.
“Huh? Kasai-kun?”
“Really! …Eh! Izumi is there too!”
