When I Got My Heart Broken by a Childhood Friend, I Ended Up in a Romantic Comedy With Her Mother - Chapter 16 - Connected

Chapter 16 – Connected

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Ikkun.”

At that time, the hem of her dress was flying around, and I don’t think it was because of the wind from the air conditioner…

God, after all, wants to present beautiful women dazzlingly.

Otherwise, there is no explanation.

I mean, this person herself is a goddess.

Eh, does this mean she produced this wind herself…?

“…………”

The sleeveless design reveals her smooth shoulder line.

Her skin is white and clean, with no rough spots.

It looks so soft that I want to touch it with my fingertips.

I know, it’s perverse.

But this kind of thing is enough to drive a man crazy.

Haruna-san is standing right in front of me.

I mean, I can see your shoulders, but I can also see her chest…and she’s showing cleavage!!

“I-I’m sorry. Maybe it’s a little too flashy?”

“I-I’d say it’s flashy… Even though it’s summer, the exposure is…worrisome.”

“Is it unsightly?”

“No, I’d rather watch it forever.”

“Eh?”

“Ah… C-cough. If Haruna-san exposes herself too much, she’ll attract pick-up guys like last time, right?”

“Yes, but now I have the parasol that Ikkun gave me as a present, so… I just want to be a bit bolder.”

“Bolder…”

“Of course, that’s…”

Haruna-san stares at me intently.

“…No, it’s nothing.”

“I-I see…”

“Come on, let’s go, shall we?”

Haruna-san swayed her tied hair and smiled.

“Ye-yes.”

◇

At first I was worried that the bulge between my legs would prevent me from walking well, but I’m getting by.

“Haruna-san, how’s the parasol?”

“Yes, it’s really good. The heat’s easing… But Ikkun, you…”

“Ah, I’m fine. I like the heat. I like to get a lot of sun in the summer.”

Well, it’s not a lie by any means, but to be honest, it’s tough.

“Is that so…? You’re so youthful.”

But when I look at Haruna-san’s smile, the wind blows through my heart at once.

It’s an exceptionally refreshing feeling, but…

Immediately afterwards, my cheeks heat up.

Also, my crotch is… No, let’s not get into that.

“Ah, a park.”

“Do you want to take a break?”

“Yes, let’s go.”

There was just a vending machine.

“Ikkun, which one do you want?”

“No, I’ll pay for it myself… Rather, I’ll pay for Haruna-san’s as well.”

“You don’t have to. You already gave me this nice parasol.”

“I want to. I’m a man after all.”

I said this with embarrassment.

When I glanced at Haruna-san,

“Tha-thank you…”

She, too, was a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed red.

So cute!!

I chose a carbonated drink and Haruna-san chose an unsweetened black tea.

Just like that, we sat at the bench in the shade of a tree.

“Heave-ho… Ah, I’m sorry. I sounded like an old lady again.”

“No, I don’t mind.”

Rather, she’s just so cute!

“Phew, it’s hot…”

Haruna-san closed her parasol and flapped her clothes around her chest with her hands.

I stared at the sight intently.

“Well then, Ikkun. Let’s drink.”

“Ye-yes.”

It’s only about 100 yen, so it’s not that cool, but…

Finally I could pay for Haruna-san’s——my girlfriend, too.

It’s something to be proud of, but I feel itchy.

Incidentally, Haruna-san is holding the plastic bottle with both hands in a well-mannered manner and moves her white throat in a gulping motion.

Yes, she’s so cute that I won’t mind dying.

“Hah, it’s delicious.”

Once again, I fell in love with her.

And because of that, when I opened my soda…

“Ah, Ikkun! The soda is overflowing!”

“Whoa!”

I rushed to put my mouth on the soda can.

“…S-sorry. I was distracted.”

“Don’t worry about it. Besides, your hands are sticky, aren’t they? Why don’t you go and wash your hands?”

“Right. I’ll go and wash them…”

As I started to stand up, I stopped.

I looked around.

The only people around were parents and children who were having a lot of fun.

Maybe it’s okay to leave Haruna-san alone for a bit…

“Well then, I’ll be right back.”

“There’s no need to be in such a rush, okay?”

“No, I’ll be right back!”

Embarrassed by my harsh tone, I quickly washed my hands at the drinking fountain and returned to the bench as I had said.

“Hah… Hah…”

Because of that, I got thirsty again.

Maybe I’ll get another drink.

But even though the people around don’t look dangerous, a troublesome bastard might come along at any moment.

That’s why I can’t leave Haruna-san’s side…

“Hey, Ikkun.”

“Yes?”

“If you want… You can drink mine.”

Haruna-san offered me her tea.

“But…”

“Ah, I’m sorry. You don’t want seconds from an auntie like me, don’t you?”

That’s not possible.

If this were to be put up for auction, it would cost no less than a million yen.

Ah, just thinking about that is already so creepy!!

“…A-are you sure?”

“Of course.”

“T-then… I’ll take a sip…”

I fidgeted.

Because of that, I politely held the plastic bottle with both hands, just like Haruna-san.

And finally, I put it to my mouth and took a sip…

“…It’s great.”

“Is that so? That’s good then.”

“Ye-yes…”

That said, i-it’s that, r-right?

I-i-i-indirect——

“…We just had an indirect kiss, didn’t we?”

“W-wha!?!?”

“Sorry, I’m just an old lady, but I’m getting so excited…”

“N-not at all… Haruna-san is so cute.”

“Eh?”

“Ah… It’s hot, should we go home now?”

“Yes.”

Haruna-san nodded with a smile and stood up.

I also stood up from the bench.

“Ah, but the heat is really hot…”

“…Hey, Ikkun.”

“Yes?”

“Would you like to join me in this parasol?”

“Eh? No, there’s no need to… The parasol is small.”

“Yes, so… L-let’s hold hands.”

“H-huh…!?!?”

“But I guess…you don’t want to when it’s so hot, after all?”

From Haruna-san’s slightly anxious expression, my eyes quickly passed over her smooth shoulders and slender upper arms, to her hands with delicate fingertips.

Those fingertips… I’ll be holding them…!

“…I’m really no good.”

“Ikkun?”

“Because, even though I’m a man, Haruna-san always takes the lead… I’m pathetic.”

“It’s fine. Because, I can’t help but…want to.”

Gulp.

Why am I gulping!!

“I-I’ll take the offer then…”

And what the hell was that reply!?

However, Haruna-san didn’t show any sign of disgust and smiled at me again.

I want to protect this smile, and if anything, I want to display it as a portrait.

Ah, this is another perverted thought…

“Ikkun, come here…”

“Ye-yes…”

And so, we connected in secret.
