The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 108

Chapter 108 – Dominion

As soon as Haruka was taken away, Rui promptly rushed to Yunika.

“What was that? Was that some kind of performance?”

“Of course not.”

“Are you going out with him? That guy?”

“Yeah.”

“Why all of a sudde-”

“Shiono-san, that guy is bad news.”

The girl in front of Yunika turned around and warned her.

“No, you’re kidding, right? That wasn’t funny.”

Following Rui, Akito came all the way to Yunika’s seat to complain.

Akito and Rui were very confused. They had seen Yunika and Haruka getting along before, but they had never expected for Yunika to confess her feelings to him in public.

They felt a sense of duty to protect Yunika, who was making a fatal mistake.

“I mean, why confess in the classroom?”

A female classmate casually joined in. She was interested in Yunika’s confessions, but more so in Rui and Akito.

“It’s nothing … I just wanted to say it.”

Yunika was embarrassed for confessing her feelings in front of the public.

However, Yunika also had her own stubbornness.

Ria and Miyako were indeed going out with Haruka before her, a fact that the she found inexcusable, unreasonable, painful, and frustrating.

However, they did not disclose the fact that they were going out with Haruka in public.

If she confessed in public and got Haruka’s approval, Yunika will technically be Haruka’s first lover.

It was Yunika’s way of dealing with her own feelings of jealousy and uncertainty.

“It’s not nothing. That guy. Not only his status, but also his academic ability, which is very important, is terrible.”

Rui pointed out Haruka’s shortcomings, trying to keep a calm demeanor.

Although Haruka recently has been participating in the drama club with enhusiasm, just like in tennis, it was nothing but the tip of the iceberg.

In addition, his midterm and final exam results were ranked 40th, the lowest in the classroom. Haruka is also the lowest among the whole grade, ranking 196 out of 200.

And on top of that, Haruka was punished for an assault during the forest school. He only got away with it since he’s still in compulsory education. If he had been an adult, he would have fallen to rank D.

Objectively speaking, excluding his appearance, Obi Haruka was a student who could be said to be at the rock bottom.

Yunika was frustrated by the words of those around her, but at the same time she understood them. She’s always been aware of Haruka’s objective evaluation for a long time now.

“What does it matter? It’s about me.”

“It does matter. I don’t like it when people talk bad about Yunika. Above all, I can’t tolerate you going out with such a violent man.” (Rui)

“Sigh.. That’s enough. I don’t expect you to understand.”

“…. Are you serious?”

Akito muttered in shock. Rui tried to say something but closed his mouth several times, Finally he grit his teeth and turned his head down.

Rui, Akito, and the other female classmates tried to persuade Yunika, but the more heated they became, the calmer Yunika got.

Meanwhile, Haruka and Hibiki returned. The classroom was filled with a strange atmosphere when they came back.

Yunika’s confession quickly spread throughout the school and was met with ill will.

Not a single word of congratulations was given for her relationship.

“Hey, Obi…”

“What is it?”

“Can I call you Haruka?”

“I think I told you to call me by my name a long time ago.”

“At that time… We’d just gotten to know each other somehow, so I was embarrassed.”

“Then call me by my name now.”

“…Haruka.”

Yunika turns her head away shyly and called out Haruka’s name.

Haruka smiles softly and ran his fingers through Yunika’s bright red hair.

Haruka and Yunika were in their own world as the other classmates can only stare at them.

“Do you want to go on a date with me today? Let’s skip the club activities.”

“Okay…”

Yunika’s usual bossy mood was gone, she’s currently meek and quiet.

When Haruka pinched her earlobe, pecked her cheek, or stroked her hair, she only turned her head down with a blush on her cheeks and did not show any significant reaction.

Yunika was shivering and writhing alone. She’s thinking about the date, her future at school, and her future with Haruka.

It has only just begun, but there was more than enough happiness to go around.

At the same time Yunika regretted, she should have confessed her feelings to him a long time ago.

Ria and Miyako. Yunika didn’t know if she can handle a multi-person relationship, but still she doesn’t want to let go of the happiness she’s obtained, she strongly thought so.

?

“……”

“……”

“Tsuyuri? What are you doing?”

“……”

“Tsuyu~? Let’s dive in VR~”

“……”

“Tsuyuri, why don’t you give Hibiki a reaction?”

“Tsuyu~?”

“……”

It was lunchtime in the classroom.

Once again, the classroom was filled with a strange atmosphere.

It was eerily quiet, and their class was the only one where there were no buzzing among the students.

Hibiki tried to talk to Tsuyuri in a bewildered manner.

“Tsuyu-chan. Hibiki-chan is talking to you.”

“…..”

Tsuyuri was sitting on Haruka’s lap, facing and staring at him from a close distance with a blank expression on her face.

Although Tsuyuri had no expression on her face, her mouth was frowning and her eyebrows wrinkled. It was a clear sign of her dissatisfaction.

“……”

Tsuyuri kept staring at Haruka, keeping the distance where their lips were just about to make contact.

Haruka turned his face away from her. She ended up poking him on his side with her index finger.

“I’ll give my answer after the concert…”

Haruka whispered to her.

Tsuyuri pinched his stomach without mercy.

“Ow, it hurts.”

“My heart also hurts.”

“I’m sorry for stealing him, can’t you let him go with just that?”

Yunika apologized to Tsuyuri for stealing the march.

“That’s not it.”

“It hurts.”

Tsuyuri was angry at Haruka for accepting Yunika’s confession, while putting hers on hold.

“Well, circumstances have changed…”

“Is that an excuse?”

“I’m sorry.”

Tsuyuri puts her face close to Haruka’s ear and said in a whisper.

“Idiot.”

With that, Tsuyuri got up and lightly slapped Haruka on the cheek.

“Let’s go, Hibiki.”

“Eh? R-right.”

Tsuyuri left the classroom with a confused Hibiki and Mika in tow.

The other students, who were gossiping about Haruka after his incident with Yunika, are now speculating about what his relationship is with Tsuyuri.

In the end, the day ended with a strange atmosphere.

The male students grumbled in displeasure and quietly expressed their ill will toward Haruka.

The female students scoffed at Yunika and Tsuyuri, both considered top class in the whole school, for letting themselves fall into the ground and become dirty.
