358 The Young Woman and the High School Boy” (1/2)
After finishing the series of pictures with Mika, next up was taking pictures together with Reo.
Seiji was able to calm down and return to a normal state because he wasn't embarrassed about taking pictures together with an elementary school girl.
He wanted a little to take a look at the pictures of him together with Mika, but also somewhat didn't dare…
After the pictures with Reo were finished, next up was Chiaki.
She happily requested poses that were rather pretentious, such as them play-acting at fighting, back against back while hooking their arms, acting as if they were two parts of a combination mecha, or pretending to be masked heroes…
Seiji did as she requested!
Compared to earlier, this type of exaggerated pose was far easier for him to do.
”Is it my turn next?”
After he finished with Chiaki, someone spoke up.
When he turned around, he saw that the landlord was smiling while raising her hand.
”I'd like to take pictures together with Haruta-kun in the same style as with Mika just now,” Nozomi said with a big grin.
”What?”
Seiji and Chiaki were both astonished at this, and Mika's eyes bulged.
”Mom… you…”
”I think that it'll be quite interesting to take them for a comparison.” Nozomi smiled. ”Seeing you all doing such a good job with the pictures, I want to revisit my youth as well.”
Seiji, Chiaki, and Mika were all rendered speechless.
*Pat.*
Chiaki lightly slapped Seiji on the back.
”The beautiful widow landlord… you have a chance with her,” she whispered to him.
'What chance are you talking about!?'
Seiji's eyebrows kept twitching.
He was unable to refuse the landlord's request.
While taking the pictures, Nozomi didn't blush, nor did she have a seductive expression like Mika's. However, just her gentle smile alone seemed to have its own appeal which displayed the attractiveness of a mature woman.
Making such identical poses to the ones that he used with her daughter, doing them with a beautiful young woman like Nozomi right in front of her own daughter… the embarrassment he felt was indescribable!
Seiji felt like his face was burning up.
Nozomi found it all the more fun to see how embarrassed Seiji was, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Chiaki decisively recorded this moment with her cell phone camera, and the resulting picture was… basically a classic!
Chiaki even felt like impulsively entering a photography contest with this photo, with the title of The Young Woman and the High School Boy. She felt like she would definitely obtain a prize!
Mika had complex emotions as she observed this.
She wasn't foolish enough to think that her mother was interested in Seiji, but this scene was… she didn't know what to think of it.
'Stop messing around!' Although Seiji wanted to say that, before he got the opportunity, Nozomi was already agreeing.
”I would feel so lucky to have a son like Haruta-kun,” the young woman said softly. ”It'll be nice to take some photos like that.”
Seiji was unable to refuse, so his embarrassment continued.
”Let's have a lap pillow photo first!” Chiaki who was passionately enjoying this continued giving instructions.
Nozomi looked towards Seiji and smiled as she patted her thigh.
Seiji did his very best to not let his expression change.
”Is that… really alright?”
Nozomi nodded, and indicated with her eyes to ”hurry up and come over.”
Seiji could only adjust his position and then slowly lay down on her thighs.
There was a soft feeling and a faint fragrant scent… This was already his second time receiving a lap pillow today. Could it be that today was his lucky day for lap pillows?
The young woman gently caressed his head and brushed her hand through his hair while lightly touching his face with her other hand. She was smiling with a gentle expression in her eyes and gave off such a warm and soft aura.
”Excellent, just like this! It's so realistic!!” Chiaki kept snapping pictures.
The immense embarrassment caused Seiji to close his eyes.
