It’s from Toriumi’s point of view, but Itoigawa is considerably prominent.
It’s Itoigawa’s turn all the time.
There’s a scuffle.
Please be careful.
On a certain winter day.
It was cold, so I was warming up with a gas burner when I spotted Senior sneaking up behind Maito-san from behind.
…But since she put his index finger to her lips and looked this way, I kept quiet.
Senior slowly approached Maito-san from behind, and when Maito-san slightly raised her arm, she reached around from there.
“Pyah!”
…She was groping Maito-san’s chest.
…Ugh, awkward.
“…What’s going on, senior?”
After making a strange noise at first, Maito-san didn’t particularly seem to dislike or get angry at being groped by Senior.
“That’s boring, Maito. Show some more embarrassment.”
“Groping and then saying that, what are you talking about, senior?”
Ah, I see.
The initial strange noise was simply out of surprise, not necessarily because of being groped, huh?
Maito-san seems to be off from “our perception of a girl’s feelings.” I don’t get it.
“It’s nice, isn’t it? This feeling of barely fitting in my hand.”
“Senior, are you having fun?”
Maito-san seemed troubled that the work wasn’t progressing, but Senior showed no signs of stopping.
“It’s fun. Sometimes you long for human warmth. Now is one of those times.”
Do girls grope other girls’ chests for that reason?
It’s too much of an unknown creature for me to understand.
“Then you might have more fun groping Toriumi, probably.”
…Maito-san started to offer me as a sacrifice.
Is that okay? What about that?
“…Indeed. Toriumi has… about a B-cup, I wonder. Let’s measure it next time.”
No, I’d rather not think that’s the case.
…Well, yes. I’m indeed described as plump.
I grope myself sometimes, too.
“Let me grope a little.”
I thought Senior was coming this way, and then I was already being groped.
“Ah, really. It feels good.”
Senior really has no restraint.
“…Eh, really?”
The one who started it, Maito-san, also came closer.
Staring at me intently.
“Ah, yes, go ahead and grope as much as you like…”
“Thank you very much!”
Saying that, Maito-san also started groping with enthusiasm.
“Surprisingly soft.”
“Right. The texture is unexpectedly nice, isn’t it?”
That’s an honor… is it an honor? Hmm?
It feels like I’m being praised and insulted at the same time… Hmm, let’s stop thinking about it.
Just as I was about to reach enlightenment, the door opened.
“Wow, what are you doing?”
Hagasaki-kun and President had arrived.
“Ah, senior, a new hand has come. Please deal with that one.”
I also want to start working soon…
“Hagasaki and Tsuge are cutting boards, you know. How can you massage something that isn’t there? I’m not doing philosophy here.”
“โฆReally, what are we even talking about?”
“Is it about meat?”
President has a good intuition.
“Who’s next, I wonder, maybe Kariya? Kadomi-san seems muscular.”
Leaving the muttering senior behind, I explained to Hagasaki-kun and President, who were left out. President remained unfazed, while Hagasaki-kun looked extremely fed up.
“Is it fun to grope a man’s chest? Are you stupid?”
Oh, that?
“Ah, Hagasaki. If you think it’s a lie, try groping Toriumi. It’s quite nice.”
“What do you mean by ‘nice’?”
“You’ll understand if you grope.”
Senior carelessly grabbed Hagasaki-kun’s hand and placed it on my chest.
โฆAh, it’s stiffening. Oh no.
“See? It’s quite soft, isn’t it? It’s as soft as Maito.”
How? How? Despite Senior’s insistence, Hagasaki-kun looked at Senior with a disgusted face and said,
“So, what’s good about this?”
Then quickly moved away from me.
Wow, that hurts. I’m hurt.
“It’s jealousy. It has to be jealousy. Because he’s an AAA cup.”
Well, not just Hagasaki-kun, normally it would be a cutting board.
“So why does it turn out like this!”
Then, for a while, Senior and Hagasaki-kun continued their low-level bickering until Senior got bored and ended it.
“I wonder if I’m about the same as Maito.”
It’s quite rare for Senior to turn her attention to herself.
But, it’s rather unbearable for us in this situation.
“Can I touch it?”
“Sure.”
And when two girls started fondling, it really was unbearable.
“Maito is slimmer, right? So, a bit smaller in size.”
“I wish I had a bit moreโฆ”
“Well, you’re fine as you are. It’s nice to be a bit slender. I’m a bit on the heavier side.”
“I think you’re standard, senior.”
“Despite that, it’s smallโฆ I wonder if it’s an urban legend that massaging them makes them bigger.”
“If that’s the case, I’ve been massaged by you quite a bit, senior, but there hasn’t been much change.”
โฆUnbearable!
“Hey, can you not do that here!?”
Finally, Hagasaki-kun snapped.
Yeah. I totally get how he feels.
Somehow, the back of the laboratory turning into a flower garden is just unbearable.
“Hagasaki, jealousy is ugly. If you want to grope, go grope Toriumi.”
“So why does it turn out like this!”
“So what’s your complaint? Say it. Come on, come on, come on. What? You can’t say it? Were you thinking of something unspeakable? You’re really a silent pervert, aren’t you?”
And while Hagasaki-kun became the victim of Senior’s machine-gun talk, I took my escape!
The thirty-six stratagems, or something like that!
When I thought to summarize the experiment notebook in the lecture room, it turned out that everyone who hadn’t arrived yet was there.
“Huh, why is everyone here?”
“When we tried to enter, we heard the voices of Senior and Hagasaki-kun. We didn’t want to get involved, so we came here.”
“Hmm, I see.”
“So, what was that all about?”
Hariu showed interest, so I gave him a rough explanation, and he made an indescribable face.
“Eh, Toriumi is like that?”
Oh, that topic?
“Eh, is it okay if I try too?”
“Ah, yeah, sure.”
After getting permission, Hariu started groping while saying something incomprehensible like “Excuse me.”
“Ah, it’s soft.”
I’m still feeling complicated about this.
“Eh, can I try too?”
“Yeah, go ahead, do whatever you want.”
Since Katori also joined in, I decided to meditate again with a clear mind.
Ah, I can hear the sound of the brass band practicing.
The sound of the baseball team hitting the ball with a bat.
…Peaceful.
“โฆso, we should refill it with nitrogen again… What are you guys doing?”
Before I realized it, Senior was standing at the door with an experimental notebook.
“Ah, senior. Toriumi has breasts!”
“I know. I was the first to grope them.”
Somehow, I feel like I’m being put down here. Hmm.
“How is it? The touch feels good, right?”
“It’s really nice.”
Hariu seemed to like it and kept on fondling incessantly.
Senior, seeing Hariu like that, smirked a bit, and then whispered something in Hariu’s ear.
Then Hariu suddenly panicked and ran away.
I wonder what she said. Probably something harassing.
Senior made Kadomi-san run away in the same manner later on. She didn’t do it to Suzumoto and the like, showing she knows whom to pick on.
“Well, anyway, Toriumi, you should be proud. The feel of your chest. You can compete well with Maito.”
And it seems that settled it in Senior’s mind.
Hmm, I can’t really be proud of it, no matter how I think about it.
And I don’t really want to be on the same level as Maito-san over something like this.
When I returned to the laboratory, there were Hagasaki-kun looking dejected, President comforting him, Maito-san, and Senior, who seemed like a completely different person, now focusing on the experiment.
Seems she got bored. Oh well.
“Toriumi, can I have a moment?”
“Yes, yes, do as you like.”
Then, throughout that winter, until it warmed up, I got involved with Senior from time to time.
“It’s really good! Be proud, Toriumi! This feeling is not bad at all!”
