When I Got My Heart Broken by a Childhood Friend, I Ended Up in a Romantic Comedy With Her Mother - Chapter 17 - Dynamite Body

Chapter 17 – Dynamite Body

The scent of the sea blows in through the open window.

“Wow, the sea!”

The first person to speak out in the back seat is my childhood friend.

“Hey, Shuuta-kun, look, look!”

“Yeah, it’s great~♪”

“I can’t wait to swim with Shuuta-kun~♡”

“Haha, me too.”

You extrovert couple, flirting without shame…

If it were me before, I would have just gritted my teeth and bled in defeat.

But now I’m with…

“Fufu, I’m also looking forward to it.”

Haruna-san is smiling in the driver’s seat.

“Are you looking forward to it, too, Ikkun?”

“Eh? Yeah, that’s right…”

I was so taken aback that I couldn’t help but respond awkwardly…

“Hey, Ippei~!! You should be more excited~!”

“That’s right, Shibata~!”

“Ah, yes, yes.”

Seriously, just shut up, you extrovert couple.

Miho, you should just stop talking.

Deep down, I couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Why is this situation happening in the first place…?

A few days ago.

‘Mama~, I want to go to the beach with Shuuta-kun.’

‘Oh my, then why don’t you just go?’

‘But it’s too far away~ It’s hard to get there by train~’

‘Perhaps you want me to drive you there?’

‘I mean, come on, Mama, let’s enjoy the sea together.’

‘Oh, I’m too old for that… I’m already an old lady now…’

‘What are you talking about, Mama is super pretty and she’s got amazing tits.’

‘Mi-Miho!’

‘But I see. Maybe that’s why Mama will attract flirts. Shuuta-kun is there too, but he’ll be too busy flirting with me…’

I was just staring blankly at the conversation between a mother and her daughter.

‘Ah! Ippei. You should come too.’

‘Eh?’

‘Well, recently, you seem to have improved a bit~? Will you be my Mama’s bodyguard?’

‘Haru… Auntie’s bodyguard…?’

Haruna-san and I looked at each other.

‘T-That would be…very helpful if you can do it, Ikkun.’

‘I-I see…’

I felt so embarrassed that I scratched my cheek with my fingertips.

‘Okay. If you’re okay with me.’

‘Thank you, Ikkun.’

‘Okay, it’s decided!’

…It didn’t take long to make the plans.

Now here we are.

“Wow~ It’s the sea!”

A handsome man wearing swim trunks said.

He’s not exactly a super muscular guy, but thanks to his athleticism, he has a nice toned physique.

I’m sure he’s very popular…

“Hey, Shibata.”

“What?”

“To be honest, you’re not really into this, are you?”

“No, that’s not true…”

“Well, you seem to be being swayed by Miho in some way~”

“I don’t deny that…”

“But you’re lucky. Thanks to that, you get to be around Miho’s beautiful mom.”

Being teased like that, I involuntarily choked on my words.

“N-not really… I’ve known Auntie for a long time, and we’re like mother and son…”

“Don’t get so worked up.”

“I’m not…”

As I was getting a little stubborn….

“I’m back~♪”

A bright woman’s voice made us turn around.

“Ooh~ Miho! You look good in that bikini♪”

“Ehehe, right~?”

As befits this bright girl, she’s wearing a yellow bikini.

It’s frustrating, but it suits her well.

I mean, she has such a good style.

She’s always been so selfish, and living her life in such a mess.

But maybe this is youth…

“Eh, where’s your mom?”

“Hmm? Oh, Mama, come quickly~!”

Miho turned her voice towards Haruna-san.

But she’s not in a bikini.

She’s wearing a hoodie from the top.

“Mi-Miho. Don’t shout too loud, it’s embarrassing.”

“Eh, why are you wearing that? Take it off.”

“I-it’s embarrassing… I’m fine like this.”

“Hmm~? Well, if Mama’s dynamite body explodes, the blue sea will be dyed red.”

“S-stop that, Miho.”

“Well then, I’m going to go play with Shuuta-kun.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“Ippei.”

“What?”

“You’re Mama’s bodyguard, do your job properly, okay?”

“Ye-yeah, I got it.”

“You say that, but if you were seduced by Mama’s allure and tried to make a move… That would be seriously guilty, you know.”

“W-wha… I-I-I won’t do that…”

“What’s with that weak denial~? You perverted childhood friend~”

“S-shut up! Just get on with it!”

“Miho, stop teasing Ikkun.”

“Okay, see you later~!♪”

And so the loud and annoying woman ran down the beach.

“Seriously, she’s so annoying…”

While I was silently fuming,

“I’m sorry, Ikkun.”

“Oh, no. It’s not Haruna-san’s fault. It’s Miho’s…”

“Are you disappointed?”

“What?”

“Because, um, I’m not in a swimsuit…”

“Ah…”

“Haha, how presumptuous of me. I look like a flabby old lady in a swimsuit…”

“T-to be honest… I was really looking forward to it.”

“I-Ikkun…”

“But at the same time, I was worried. As Miho said, Haruna-san’s body is…amazing. If I let her loose in a swimsuit, all the bad guys would come and approach her… I’m even wondering if I can protect her…”

“You were that worried about me?”

“Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to sound so timid. But don’t worry. If it comes to it, I will protect Haruna-san with my own body.”

“Please don’t do that.”

“Eh?”

“Because if something were to happen to you… I would be very sad.”

“Ha-Haruna-san…”

We looked at each other.

Haruna-san’s eyes looked moist.

“…Do you want to go for a walk?”

“…With Ikkun, of course.”

“T-then, let’s go.”

“Hey, because there’s a lot of people…I want to hold Ikkun’s hand again… Is that okay?”

“O-o-o-of course…! A-ah, but my hands are a bit sweaty…”

“It’s okay, I’m nervous too, I’m sweating like crazy.”

Gulp…

“…T-Then, please excuse me.”

When I touched Haruna-san’s hand, it was indeed sweating a little.

I’m exchanging sweat with Haruna-san…

“Well then, let’s go… Ippei-san.”

“W-whaa…!?”

“Ah, I’m sorry… I just couldn’t help myself after being shown how lovey-dovey Miho and her boyfriend were…”

“…………”

“I-Ikkun?”

“Ah… Sorry, I was dazed for a minute.”

“A-are you alright? Maybe you have a heat stroke? Do you want to rest in the shade?”

“I-I’m fine… Let’s go.”

“Don’t push yourself, okay?”

Haruna-san said that, but…

Right now…

I want to be with her, even if it means pushing myself a little bit.
