When I Got My Heart Broken by a Childhood Friend, I Ended Up in a Romantic Comedy With Her Mother - Chapter 10 - Disgusting Feeling

Chapter 10 – Disgusting Feeling

Although the sunlight was less intense than during the day, it was still very hot.

“Phew.”

Haruna-san walked next to me, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m okay. What about Ikkun?”

“I’m fine too… By the way, it’s the time of year when many women tend to use parasols, but what about Haruna-san?”

“Me? I don’t use them… I’m already an old lady now, I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about it.”

“No, Haruna-san isn’t old at all…”

It was at that moment,

Young men came from in front of us.

As we passed each other, they stared at Haruna-san,

“Woohoo, that woman is so hot!”

“Her tits are huge~”

“Let’s go hit on her?”

I can hear the unsettling voices saying these things.

Did Haruna-san not hear those voices?

The smile on her face remains the same, so it’s hard to tell what she’s thinking.

Like that, I arrived at the supermarket feeling a little uneasy.

“Now then, let’s find our groceries…”

“Ah, I’ll push the cart.”

“Thank you.”

When I think about it, it’s not often that I come to a supermarket.

My mother usually does the shopping.

So, combined with such a fresh feeling… My heart is pounding.

However, because it’s cooler inside the supermarket, it was somehow neutralized.

“Oh my, Haruna-chan?”

Suddenly, an old lady working at the store called out.

“Oh, hello. I went home for a while and came back again.”

“I see… Wait, oh? Is that child…your son? But I thought Haruna-chan’s family had a daughter…”

“He’s my neighbor’s son. Well, for me, he is so cute and he’s like a real son.”

“Oh, I see, I see. He seems like quite the nice boy.”

“Ha-haha…”

“Oops, I shouldn’t have. I’ll see you later.”

“Yes.”

Haruna-san bowed to her.

I did that, too.

After that, we got what we came for and left the supermarket.

“Ikkun, are you okay? Can you hold it by yourself?”

“It’s okay. I’m a man, after all.”

“Ufufu. Well, I guess I’ll have to rely on you.”

Haruna-san, who said so, is as charming as ever.

While my heart was racing, there was something I couldn’t quite grasp or understand…

“…Um, Haruna-san.”

“Hmm?”

“Well, um, what you said before…”

“What I said before?”

“A-about how I’m like your real son…”

“Ah, I did say that.”

“…D-does that mean…you don’t see me as a man, after all?”

“Eh?”

“So Haruna-san became my girlfriend only for the summer out of sympathy for me. Um, if you’re not really enthusiastic about it, we can stop if you want——”

At that moment——my lips were gently pressed down by a fingertip.

“No! Don’t be like that.”

“Ha-Haruna-san…”

“What I said earlier is a true feeling, but…just as much as that…”

Haruna-san fidgeted a little, then said,

“…I look at Ikkun as a man…”

The destructive power of a lovely woman, much older than me, speaking so shyly is amazing.

“Ggrgh…”

The weight of the shopping bags suddenly hit me and I fell to my knees.

“I-Ikkun! Are you okay!? I should’ve helped after all!”

“No, no, it’s not like that… I just took a little bit of damage.”

“Damage…? Is something wrong?”

“Ah, no, what I meant by damage is… Sorry, it’s just that I’m a lame virgin.”

“Wha-what do you mean?”

Uh-oh, my head is starting to get all tangled up.

“…Haruna-san”.

“Yes?”

“I think I’ll be all sweaty when I get home, so…can I borrow your shower?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Ah, but Haruna-san can go first…”

“Don’t worry about me. Ikkun can go first.”

“I-I understand.”

I’m glad for the thoughtfulness, but I’m a little disappointed.

Because…in the bathroom after Haruna-san takes her bath, heh…hehehe——What am I thinking!? I’m like a pervert!

“Hey, Ikkun. Can I help hold the shopping bags too?”

“Eh? No, but…”

I looked at the shopping bags in my hands.

In my current state of limbo, it might be reasonable to ask for help with one.

But then, my petty pride as a man would get in the way.

“Huff!”

At that time, Haruna-san did not take the shopping bag from my hand.

Gently, she put her hand on the handle.

More specifically, she touched my hand.

“Ha-Haruna-san…?”

“I don’t want to keep depending on you… I’m a pretty strong woman despite my appearance.”

Haruna-san smiled as gently as ever.

But behind those eyes, I sensed a certain solid strength.

Yes, Haruna-san has raised Miho all her life as a single mother.

Such a woman cannot be weak.

Rather, she’s much stronger than I am.

“…Then, please help me with one.”

“Yes.”

“But one day…”

I was about to say something, but I decided to stop.

My relationship with Haruna-san is limited to this summer.

That’s why that ‘one day’ will never come.

If I marry Miho in the future, I might have another chance to come into contact with Haruna-san like this situation, but…

That probably won’t come true.

“Hey, Ikkun. Do you want me to help you hold that one too?”

“Wait, how would that happen?”

“Well, I guess it would be good if we could both be in a position where we face each other, right?”

“Even Haruna-san makes jokes like that.”

I smiled wryly, and Haruna-san quickly moved her legs.

I found myself facing her head-on.

Then, her hand touched mine on the other shopping bag.

She was also staring at me.

“Ha-Haruna-san…?”

She didn’t say a word when I called her.

Her breath was slightly heavier.

Is it the setting sun or…does her cheeks look a little red?

And once again, looking at her from the front and at close range…she’s really wonderful.

From this close distance, her face looks so beautiful.

Her skin looks so smooth.

And her breasts…they’re huge.

While my gaze was wandering like that, Haruna-san was staring into my eyes.

“U-um, Haruna-san…”

“…I’ve been imagining it a lot lately.”

“A-about what?”

“Well, not so much imagining, but more like daydreaming.”

Haruna-san smiles wryly.

“If I was Ikkun’s classmate, I wonder how things would turn out.”

“Ha-Haruna-san and I… Classmates…”

“Or if we were childhood friends.”

“That…sounds exciting.”

Oi!

What are you inadvertently revealing your true feelings about…!!!

“Is that what you think?”

“O-of course. I mean, Haruna-san, were you popular when you were a student…?”

“Eh? Well, um… I got confessed to several times.”

“How many times?”

“…A few times, I don’t know if I can count it.”

“Those damned bastards! They dare to my Haruna-san!”

I ended up swearing at enemies that I can’t do anything about.

But then I immediately realized…

“Ah, no, this is, I…”

“…I’m so happy. You care about me so much to be jealous like that?”

“T-this is because…Haruna-san is my…”

“Your…?”

“…I’m sorry, I can’t say it.”

Shit! I’m so lame!

This is why I’m a virgin! Damn it!!!

But instead of making a disgusted face at my pitiful state, Haruna-san smiled kindly again and gently let go of the shopping bag.

I felt a heavy weight come on me.

“Is it okay if I ask Ikkun to carry both?”

“Ye-yes, leave it to me.”

“In return… I’ll do something for Ikkun as a thank you later.”

“T-there’s no need… I’m already getting a home-cooked meal… And just being around Haruna-san like this is the biggest reward for me.”

“Ikkun… You’ve really become quite the smooth talker, haven’t you?”

“Haha…”

Oh no, it’s way beyond just being a smooth talker.

I can’t tell her about those boys we passed today.

Compared to them, I’m no different. No, maybe even more…

Because I’m looking at Haruna-san with disgusting eyes.

Her beautiful face, those big boobs, and her well-shaped ass…

Her kind smile, and everything else…

I want it all to myself.

It’s a really disgusting feeling.
