The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 109

Chapter 109 – Chaos Impact

The incident of Yunika’s sudden confession to Haruka in the classroom spread more widely than expected.

Yunika’s beautiful red hair, which she had inherited from her ancestor who had reached S rank, had a luster that could not be obtained from just dyeing one’s hair.

In high school, hair colors are black, brunette and blonde at best.

In this sense, Yunika’s red hair, Tsuyuri’s silver hair, and a European’s unique snow white hair that reflected the sunlight were very conspicuous and attracted a lot of attention.

Yunika was not an exception.

Therefore it was devastating for everyone to know that Yunika, an unobtainable high peak flower was plucked by Haruka, a delinquent.

“Rui-kun, are you okay?”

“… What for?”

Unikumo Mika tried to talk to Rui who was in a bad mood, not even trying to hide his grumpy, dark expression.

Mika was even shorter than the petite Tsuyuri and looked up at Rui’s face, which was a head higher than hers.

“You don’t look well.”

“It’s nothing.”

Rui’s reply to her concern was curt.

The only thing that occupied Rui’s mind at the moment is his hatred for Yunika and Haruka.

Rui is a gifted child, even if he’s not as good as Shun, who was said to be a monster.

He has lived his life being pampered by girls without knowing any setbacks.

He was good at wind and string instruments, the piano, games, and everything else.

He has won many music competitions. Not to mention in games, with the use of his superior intellect.

He was not good at sports, but he was still able to move more than the average.

He has a handsome face. Naturally, he has been popular ever since elementary school.

If Rui performed in front of girls, he could win their hearts surprisingly easily.

However, since he came to A-10 Academy, everything has been going wrong.

Yunika, who Rui was strongly attracted to for the first time of his life, has always been indifferent.

Rui had played music for her, and he played games together with her.

Even so, Yunika was never interested in Rui. The only girls who came to him are the usual lots.

Because Rui had it so easy before, he didn’t know how to attract Yunika’s attention.

Whether it’s by having a pleasant conversation, playing special music, or flaunting a better status. Rui had been shooting in the dark, not knowing which one was the right answer. But in the end he couldn’t find it.

Meanwhile, Yunika got close to Haruka and finally confessed her feelings to him in the classroom, a foolish act that can only be considered as a joke.

(Why can’t she understand such a simple thing that she would be happier going out with me than that guy?)

Rui was more angry at Yunika for making such a foolish choice rather than the other man.

(Regret it as much as you can… for choosing such a scumbag.)

Rui’s monologue was filled with malice and can be seen as ramblings of a sore loser.

However, his obsession with Yunika never disappeared.

?

Yunika and Haruka, who spent the day under curious stares, secretly exchanged messages about where they were going to hang out after class.

Yunika, who had been looking forward to going out alone with Haruka, waited at the end of the school day in a state of excitement.

As soon as the fifth period ended, Yunika rushed to Haruka and takes him away from the classroom.

“There’s no need to be in such a hurry…”

“No way… It’s just the two of us on a date.”

Yunika pulled Haruka’s hand with a happy expression on her face.

The boys, who was still in denial that Yunika is going out with Haruka, was tormented by the realization that Yunika had become Haruka’s property for the first time they saw the scene.

Even Shun clucked his tongue and looked bitterly at Yunika.

The two head for the shoe box and continued their conversation happily, paying no attention to what was going on in the classroom.

“I’ll make you tell me all about Ria and Miyako at the café.”

“I learned from the Internet that I shouldn’t talk about other girls on a date.”

“Today is an exception.”

“Ehh.”

Yunika asked endless questions about how long Haruka has been friends with Tsuyuri, or how he got together with Miyako, and so on.

The two entered the café that Yunika had found on the internet while ignoring the class, and took a seat.

They ordered snacks and drinks and stared at each other silently.

Haruka placed his hands on the table and Yunika laced her fingers on it, intertwining them together.

“Fufu?”

With an innocent smile like a little child, Yunika basked in the warmth of Haruka’s hand for a while.

When the food they had ordered arrived, Haruka grabbed one and started to speak.

“You are so bold, Yunika. For confessing in class.”

“It’s your fault.”

“Ehh.”

A slight shadow appeared on Haruka’s smile as he chomped on a snack.

“But, I don’t know if this is fine. I don’t want to make you feel uneasy, since there are rumors about me, from bad to terrible. I wonder how it will affect you in the future.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Contrary to Haruka’s who was anxious, Yunika’s expression was cheerful.

“If something happens to me, Haruka will protect me.”

“Yunika, are you sure you’re not overestimating me?”

“You won’t protect me?”

“I will.”

“Then it’s fine… Fufufu..”

Yunika has an easy going attitude, despite the fact that the next time Haruka pulled a ruckus he might get expelled.

However, seeing Yunika’s bright smile for the first time, Haruka resolved himself in order to protect her.

The two then spent a long time talking about what they have done and what they will do, getting to know and understand each other as much as they can.

By the time they left the café, several hours had already passed. The sun had set and it was a little chilly.

“Do you want to go for a walk?”

“Sure.”

Yunika nodded her head in agreement to Haruka’s suggestion.

They walked side by side under the star-filled sky.

Haruka took Yunika’s hand and intertwined their fingers together as if it was natural for them to do so.

Yunika’s cheeks are slightly tinted like cherry blossoms, and she accepted.

Without saying anything in particular, Haruka and Yunika walked in silence until they reach a deserted park.

The park was a deserted place with only two benches.

They sat on the benches, holding hands, and looked up at the starry sky.

Yunika took her eyes off the starry sky and peeked at the at Haruka’s side.

Haruka noticed this and smiled as he and Yunika stared at each other.

Yunika waited without saying a word, Haruka took her lips silently.

It was a gentle kiss. Just a peck, that was appropriate for the time, place, and atmosphere.

A feeling of euphoria spread through Yunika’s brain.

She understood with a somewhat numb mind that she had not made a wrong choice after all.

“Haruka… I don’t want to leave yet.”

“You don’t have to be in such a hurry.”

Haruka, who understood what Yunika was trying to say, chided her.

“It’s the difference between being early and being late, isn’t it? I’m already late and I’m feeling frustrated. I already prepared myself for it even before I confessed my feelings, you know?”

Rather than being prepared, Yunika was just fantasizing about doing something like that with him several times, but Haruka had no way of knowing that.

“…. Hmmm.”

“You see, I’m a competitive person… that’s why. Please.”

Yunika got up from the bench and pulled Haruka by the hand.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Uhm, but not some place you’ve been with someone before. I request a new place.”

“Good grief…”

Haruka stood up, and with his hands around Yunika’s thin waist, they start walking again.

The two of them slowly melt into the darkness of the night, disappearing into the distant cluster of glittering lights.
