“Eh, are you okay if I put more force into it?”
Harumi's eyes opened wide in surprise. To her, she was using plenty of strength, but since she was so weak, her efforts only served to tickle Koutarou.
“I-It feels kind of vaguely lacking. Wahahaha!”
“Okay... then, I'll do it a little harder...”
Seeing Koutarou laughing, Harumi poured all of her strength into her fingers.
“Ah, now it's getting good”
When she did, Koutarou stopped laughing. Harumi had finally reached the force Koutarou desired.
“...Y-You're not just big, but sturdy as well, Satomi-kun”
Harumi was amazed as she massaged Koutarou's shoulders with all of her strength.
To Harumi, Koutarou's body didn't look like it had the muscles of that of a body builder. But as she touched him, she could tell that his muscles were regularly trained. It was a big difference from her father's body.
“I'm working hard at my part-time job at the archaeological digging site after all”
Koutarou's body had been built up because of his continuous training after he had gone to Forthorthe. But of course, he didn't touch on that topic.
Since Harumi looked like the spitting image of Alaia, he often finds himself almost speaking about Forthorthe .However, even if he told her, she would just be puzzled, so he took care not to talk too much.
“That part-time job sounds rough”
“And thanks to that I'm getting buffed up... Waahh!”
Koutarou turned around to speak to Harumi and at the same time he flexed his muscles a little.
“Kyaa!?”
The shoulders that Harumi was massaging tensed up and easily pushed back her slender fingers.
“Geez, Satomi-kun! It won't be a massage like this!”
Harumi complained to Koutarou while clenching her fists, but her appearance was hopelessly lacking in force as she was so far distanced from violence.
“Puh”
However, that lack of force caused the strength to leave Koutarou's shoulders. As he saw her puffed up cheeks with her small fists held up in front of her chest, and since he had been holding it in from before, Koutarou couldn't keep himself from laughing.
“S-Sakuraba-senpai, pfff, ahahahahaha!”
“Satomi-kun!”
“I-I'm sorry! Y-You just looked so adorable, I couldn't help myself, *cough* *cough*”
“You don't have to laugh so hard that you choke!”
Harumi shouted out in anger while Koutarou continued to painfully laugh. Since this continued until the bus came, Koutarou's stiff shoulders didn't recover.
