When I Got My Heart Broken by a Childhood Friend, I Ended Up in a Romantic Comedy With Her Mother - Chapter 20 - I Love You

Chapter 20 – I Love You

“Oh, wow, it’s a great room for such a reasonable price!”

My silly childhood friend… No, my dear childhood friend said this.

“Yes, you’re right. It’s definitely a reasonable price.”

Her mother, Haruna-san, nodded.

“I know, right?”

“Then, make sure to pay your share later, okay?”

“Oh, and it has an ocean view!”

“This child…”

To Haruna-san who sighed,

“It’s okay. Like I said before, I’ll pay my share too.”

“Ikkun… Thank you.”

Seeing Haruna-san’s smile, I found myself not caring about my annoying childhood friend anymore.

“So, this room is for me and Shuuta-kun, right?♪”

“Then, Ikkun and I will go to the other room… Okay?”

“Yeah. But seriously, as unlikely as it seems, make sure you don’t mess up, okay?”

“Wha-what are you talking about, Miho?”

“Well, because girls who are kind to hopeless guys like Ippei, are as rare as my mom, right?”

“Miho, come on. You’re always so mean to Ikkun. Show some restraint, please.”

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry~”

“This girl, I swear…”

“Haruna-san, it’s okay. I don’t mind.”

I’m fine as long as you are by my side… Of course I couldn’t say such a snappy line here.

“Oh, what about dinner? Should we all eat together like we did for lunch?”

Nonaka asked with a smile.

“Yeah, that sounds good. How about around 7 PM for dinner? Until then, everyone can do their own thing.”

“Okay, sounds good!”

“Is it fine with Mom and Ippei?”

“Yes.”

“Got it. See you later then~♪”

After being seen off by the cheerful people, Haruna-san and I left the room.

When we went out into the hallway, we both let out a sigh.

After that, we looked at each other and laughed a little.

“The room next door, right?”

“Well, just the room number… but there’s still quite a distance between them.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Haruna-san and I stood in front of the room.

Seriously, my heart is pounding.

“Hey, Ikkun.”

“Y-Yes?”

“I’m sorry… I’m already this old but I’m really nervous right now.”

“Ha-Haruna-san… M-me too…”

When I stammered and said that, she smiled.

Then she gently put her hand in mine,

“Let’s go in.”

“Ye-yes…”

We entered the room.

It was certainly a stunning ocean view.

You can see the clear blue sky and sea as soon as you enter.

But above all that beautiful sight…

First, I check the bed.

The two beds are naturally placed far apart.

It doesn’t seem to be a room for couples.

N-Not that I was expecting that or anything…

“Ikkun, can I lie on this bed?”

“Ah, yes. Whichever you like.”

When I said that, Haruna-san settled onto the bed.

“Phew…I’m tired. I guess I’m just an old lady after all.”

“……”

Who is this cute person?

Is she really the mother of that annoyingly arrogant girl?

I couldn’t imagine they were related by blood. Even her figure… that girl couldn’t possibly inherit such alluring curves.

“…Ikkun.”

“Wha-what is it?”

“I’m sorry…”

“Eh? What’s wrong?”

“At lunch in the car… We kissed.”

“Ah…”

“I drew the line, saying we shouldn’t cross it, but… I’m a terrible woman… No, a terrible mother. I’m unfit to be a guardian.”

“Haruna-san…”

“In the first place, I suggested that Ikkun, who is as cute and precious as my own son, become my lover, even if it was only for the summer vacation… In this day and age, that’s very perverted…”

“Haruna-san.”

I moved closer to her and grabbed her shoulders.

She looked at me with a surprised face.

“I don’t know a woman as wonderful as Haruna-san…Well, maybe it’s because I’m a virgin.”

“Ikkun…”

“Your humility, your modesty, that’s what makes you charming, Haruna-san… But please, have more confidence. You are the cutest, the most stylish, the kindest person in this world… I… I feel…”

I couldn’t continue. No, it was more like I hesitated to say it.

But despite my half-hearted attempt at encouragement, Haruna-san smiled at me. 

It looked like tears were forming in her beautiful eyes.

“I love you, Ikkun.”

A shiver ran down my spine.

Of course, in a strongly positive direction.

I gathered the courage in my trembling arms and gently embraced her.

More than the feel of her ample breasts, I loved the soft warmth I got from Haruna-san more than anything else.
