Ch.145New Colleague (3)

“Madoka.”

“……..”

“Madoka-chan?”

“……..”

Wrong approach. No response. But… it wasn’t complete indifference. She just pouted her lips and kept glancing at me from the corner of her eye.

I could have chosen to spank her butt… but in situations like this, talking it out is better. Hmm.

“Don’t call me ‘chan.’ Don’t treat me like a child.”

Madoka said.

“Got it. Ms. Madoka. Better?”

I immediately changed how I addressed her.

“Ms. Madoka… sounds so grown-up!”

Madoka’s eyes lit up. Children really are… so simple!!

“Hmph. Tch. Pft.”

But Madoka turned her head away again, enunciating each syllable separately.

“Let’s just ignore her and have fun.”

Umi said indifferently. No. No matter what, how could you… sometimes Umi scares me…

“I think… you two should talk this out.”

At that moment, Eri stepped in.

“Why don’t you two take a casual walk along the beach and chat? We’ll stay here and have fun.”

Eri said with a smile.

Mama Eri… she’s really good at taking care of people.

“Okay. Madoka!! Let’s go!”

I called out to Madoka.

“…Why should I.”

That’s what Madoka said. Having committed to the concept of being upset at first, she didn’t want to seem like an easy girl by giving in now. A young girl’s heart was simple.

“I’d be lonely going by myself. Would you mind?”

I reached my hand out to Madoka.

“Really… my hopeless big brother is impossible. I’ll go with you.”

Madoka smiled happily and firmly grabbed my hand. Heh. Easy kid.

Anyway, Madoka and I started walking along the beach.

“Tina, don’t follow us! Stay and rest!”

Madoka instructed Tina.

“Well… I suppose it’s fine since she’s with Shota. I’ll stay right here! Right here!”

Tina said with a smile.

It was a bit concerning how she emphasized “right here”… but well, there’s no end to suspicion if you start down that path.

Anyway, Madoka and I walked along the beach. We were just strolling around the shoreline.

“Big brother… you’ve got another strange lady now. Even counting Tina… there’s one more.”

Madoka said.

“Huh? Oh… you mean Mika. She’s a colleague who works on the same platform.”

I explained. By now, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her a friend. Friend… is that right? Anyway.

“You’re popular, big brother. Despite being so hopeless.”

Madoka said, puffing her cheeks.

“Everyone seemed to be having fun without me…”

I immediately noticed that Madoka was upset because she felt left out.

“It felt like something was missing without you, Madoka.”

I told her.

“Would someone who felt that way be belting out songs at karaoke?”

Madoka narrowed her eyes as she spoke. Ah. So she heard about that.

“I… wish you wouldn’t pressure me to audition. I just do it as a hobby.”

This is really troublesome.

“That’s not true!!! You totally believe you’re a great singer!! This guy!!”

Madoka immediately objected.

“It’s not fair… everyone. Just because they’re older, they get to go to school with you… hang out with you.”

Madoka said, crouching down.

“When you grow up a bit, you’ll have plenty of chances to hang out together too.”

I said, crouching down beside her.

“Hmph. Always with the plausible excuses.”

Madoka looked straight at me.

“Big brother… don’t you spank my butt anymore?”

Suddenly Madoka was saying something crazy.

“Ah, no… Madoka. What are you talking about?”

You cried so much when I spanked you. Honestly, I felt guilty about it. Though you did deserve it.

“I… was happy when you spanked my butt.”

Suddenly Madoka was confessing her unusual preference.

“I… was lonely. No one would look at me properly, and there was no one to scold me properly. That time, you scolded me sincerely for the first time. That… made me happy.”

Madoka then added one more statement that made my head spin.

“I’ve been dreaming about getting spanked by you every day.”

Madoka said, her eyes shining.

“Madoka……”

I’m… sorry. I’ve awakened a strange fetish in you…!!

“But… big brother, since we came to the beach, you’ve been keeping your distance from me. I was afraid you’d become indifferent to me again.”

Madoka mumbled hesitantly.

“So… I think I’d feel reassured if you spanked me like before. I’ll do something bad or whatever!! Please! Spank my butt!!”

Madoka shouted loudly.

This should be a poignant moment… but her request was just too disorienting.

What should I do?

1. Spank her butt enthusiastically.

Choosing this option would be simple… but then Madoka’s preference wouldn’t be corrected. Madoka would forever remain a spanking maniac…!!

So, I chose something else.

Swoosh-!!

I lifted Madoka up.

“B-big brother… hurry… spank me.”

Madoka said, her face flushing. Right after that, I moved my hand toward Madoka’s butt.

Pat-! Pat-!

I gently patted Madoka’s butt with affection, just like I would with my girlfriends. The key was putting sincerity into it. At this moment, I was like an old man carving a butt.

“……..!”

Madoka’s expression showed disappointment for a moment, but soon her face relaxed. She realized this wasn’t so bad either.

Pat-! Pat-!

Under my affectionate touch, Madoka’s expression completely melted.

“Scolding isn’t the only way to show affection, Madoka.”

I said to her.

“When you do something good or admirable… I’ll pat your butt like this and praise you.”

I said with a smile.

“P-praise…”

“Yes, Madoka. Well done. And I’m sorry. For not paying enough attention to you.”

Pat-! Pat-! Slap-!

Ah. I put a little too much force into that last one.

“No… you don’t need to be sorry… it’s okaaay…❤”

But it was fine. Madoka’s expression had already completely softened. This should have resolved her anger.

Anyway, after appeasing Madoka.

———

“I… want to get my butt patted by you for the rest of my life.”

Madoka said with a serious expression.

“Big brother. How much would it cost? How much to hire you?”

Madoka seemed genuinely ready to spend a large sum.

Madoka… you’ve just replaced one addiction with another? I felt like I’d made a bad move.

“W-well, let’s do this.”

I cleared my throat and said.

“Every time Madoka does something admirable, you’ll earn 10 points as mileage. In other words!! Pat-Pat Mileage!”

I announced loudly.

“M-mileage?”

Madoka’s eyes immediately lit up. As expected of the daughter of a card game company president, she understood anything that resembled a game system.

“Collect 100 points for 5 minutes of patting!!”

I declared. That means she needs to stack up 10 good deeds.

“Stingy!!! That’s so cheap!!”

Madoka immediately protested.

“Well… if you’re not happy with the price, I can’t help it. I’ll just give butt pats to my girlfriends.”

I said in a tone like a villainous drug dealer.

‘I have plenty of other customers besides you.’

That line is the cheat key.

“Urrrgh… fine!! You’re being expensive, but… it’s worth it!!”

Madoka finally accepted. Negotiation is so easy.

“But here’s the thing!!! If you collect a whopping 10,000 points, something amazing will happen!”

I immediately announced.

“W-what is it?”

Madoka’s eyes sparkled.

“A wish ticket. I’ll grant you any one wish.”

I said in a solemn tone.

Whether it’s Piccolo, Krillin, or Tien Shinhan!! I’ll resurrect anyone.

Ah, but I can’t resurrect Yamcha or Chiaotzu. They’d just die again soon anyway.

Anyway.

“A-a wish… anything…!!!”

Suddenly, Madoka’s face lit up with desire. Her expression contorted almost like Marik Ishtar who had obtained a god card. Huh…? This isn’t right?

“I’ll!!! Do lots of good deeds and collect 10,000 points!!”

Madoka shouted loudly.

Yes. Children should be energetic. I nodded and took Madoka back.

——

I returned to the parasol where my girlfriends were.

“Now, let’s all have fun together.”

I tried to create a peaceful atmosphere.

However, Madoka suddenly accelerated from there.

“Sisters.”

Madoka stared at my girlfriends.

“Yes? What is it, Madoka?”

Eri responded with a kind expression.

“…I smell something.”

At that moment, Umi muttered.

“Ah… Umi. You felt it too. The smell of a love rival…”

Tai also exchanged glances with Umi.

No. How do you even sense that?

“Men ultimately prefer young and pretty women, right? When you sisters reach your 30s and 40s and your expiration dates pass, would it be okay for fresh 20-year-old me to take big brother away?”

Madoka made a shocking statement.

“This sassy little girl…!!”

Umi immediately stood up.

“I knew this would happen!!”

Tai also cried out in an aggrieved tone.

“M-Madoka is precocious… she probably watches adult videos early…”

Eri was smiling, but her expression was cracking.

“Madoka… you’ve finally properly realized your feelings?”

Tina smiled approvingly as if proud.

“I-I need to get out of this chaos…”

Mika, trying to escape this complicated situation, opened her laptop on the beach and started writing a novel. Hey!! Help me out here!!!

“M-Madoka… you shouldn’t say such things carelessly…!”

I shouted loudly.

“I like you, big brother. I like my hopeless big brother.”

Madoka stated firmly.

“When I collect 10,000 points… I’ll make you fill out a marriage registration form.”

Madoka looked at me with obsessive eyes.

Well. I’m screwed.

And so, a storm swept through the harem.

——-

While we were all playing together, Umi, Tai, and Eri were whispering something.

“But… you definitely aren’t as good when you get older as when you’re young…”

“That little brat’s words… frustrating but true.”

Tai and Eri started.

“Then let’s go to China. The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor? I heard there’s an elixir of immortality hidden there.”

Umi mentioned some suspicious information of unknown origin.

“Umi… where did you hear that?”

I asked Umi.

“Hm? A late-night TV program.”

Umi said.

“Don’t believe everything you see on TV…”

I objected.

“There is a plant in our country that has rejuvenating properties.”

At that moment, Tina spoke. Wait. What exactly is her country?

“Really?!! I want to eat that!!”

Umi’s eyes immediately lit up.

“But… if you eat it, you’ll be permanently fixed at a young age. And your chest will definitely become flat.”

Tina said in a regretful tone.

What kind of place is Tina’s country? I was caught in such confusion.

At that moment, Madoka extended her small hand to my shoulder.

Knead-! Knead-!!

Madoka began massaging my shoulders.

“Big brother. Does it feel good?”

Madoka asked, kissing my cheek.

“Yes!!! Madoka!! 10 points!!!”

I immediately awarded her points.

“Wow!!!! I’m so happy!!”

Madoka shouted, jumping up and down.

And so, the second day at the beach passed by.
