The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 137

Chapter 137 – Darkside

Shortly after Shinku returned to her room, she dived into the virtual world.

It was to join the war of the game she was playing.

[Blue Air Force]

It was the VR game that Shinku put the most effort into playing.

This game was has a much faster pace compared to the other major humanoid robot games.

Attracted by the speed, Shinku was hooked into the game.

Shinku also played several other games, but this game was the one that she played the most.

[I’m counting on you today, Aneki.]

[Good luck to you as well.]

Sixteen fighter planes, including Shinku, took off from the aircraft carrier.

Despite Shinku looking a bit apathetic because she wanted to stay with Haruka a little longer, she still exceeded the expectations of those around her.

Shinku was akin to a Goddess of War.

One after another, she destroyed the incoming enemy planes and turned them into air debris.

The clan [Stratified Web] composed of Shinku, Yunika, and selected elite members, were vividly rampaging through the enemy territory.

Although the current event was called a “war,” victory or defeat didn’t really matter that much.

Whether the war deserved recognition or not depends on how many results were achieved.

[Knock that big b?a?s?t?a?r?d? down.]

The voices of her clan members echoed in the plane.

Ahead of Shinku’s eyes was a large 2,000 meter long all wing aircraft sputtering on fire as it loses it’s altitude.

A large tactical aircraft with powerful support capabilities sank helplessly into the sea.

[That’s the fourth one. Today’s our lucky day.] said Yunika.

[We’ve achieved enough results desu wa. All aircrafts return to base. I’ll leave the Weaver attack to Katan as planned.]

[Roger.]

The ten survivors of the fierce battle spread out with Shinku at the center as they flew off into the sunset.

Only six of their planes were out of commission. Destroying four tactical planes was enough to get the MVP achievement.

The clan members were in high spirits.

Only Shinku was feeling down.

During the game, Shinku licked her lower lip many times. She missed the sensation of Haruka’s tongue and felt lonely.

When Shinku logged out of the game, she was surprised to see the time.

She had been inside the game for eight hours, but only two hours had passed in the real world.

It was only natural, since the time rate inside the virtual world was 4.

There was nothing to be surprised about.

However, it was a big deal for the current Shinku.

The more she played VR games, the more she misses Haruka.

The time until she meets Haruka again became longer.

It was at that moment when Shinku’s motivation to play games fell to the ground.

That night, Shinku took a bath early and went to bed at nine o’clock.

?

“Good morning, “Claudia-san”.”

Haruka came to school and greeted Shinku behind his seat.

“Good day to you, “Obi-san”.”

After their greetings, their conversation ended there.

Akito was glaring at Haruka on the side, and there were eyes on them all around. As long as they were in the classroom, Shinku couldn’t hold a proper conversation with Haruka.

Shinku’s heart was filled with despair.

The classmates were looking at Haruka and were quietly gossiping.

They seemed to be preoccupied with Haruka, Tsuyuri, and Yunika.

It was because of Tsuyuri’s strange behavior of suddenly throwing confession picks at Haruka during the live concert. Even though the two weren’t involved with each other in any way.

When they asked about the true reason for her doing so, Tsuyuri simply told the classmates that she likes Haruka and that she is going out with him.

In other words, the classmates had realized that a man with a dull status and only had a good face going on for him was somehow dating both Yunika and Tsuyuri.

Naturally, it caused a commotion.

Yunika was already shunned by the class. It wasn’t clear what will happen to Tsuyuri because of her quirkiness.

Seeing Yunika looking so happy, Shinku sometimes…or rather often had her mind wandering off.

She wondered if she should announce her relationship with Haruka.

Shinku shot a glance at Haruka who was sitting on his seat.

There he was, happily chatting with Yunika.

“Hey?, Danna-sama, please accept this?”

Yunika took out a pink envelope from her bag and handed it to Haruka.

“What’s this, a letter?”

“That’s right.”

“Can I read it now?”

“No way?! Read it when you’re alone at home. It’s a love letter.”

“I see. Thank you.”

Haruka puts the letter from Yunika into his bag with a happy expression on his face.

“HA?RUKA?”

“Ria?”

“Tada… It’s a letter from me.”

Ria also handed a yellow envelope with a cute design to Haruka.

“What’s up you two? Doing this out of the blue.”

“I thought it would be nice to express my feelings this way…”

“Right?”

Both Yunika and Ria smiled softly at him.

Yunika always had a gloomy atmosphere just like the current Shinku up until recently. But now, Yunika had an fluffy atmosphere akin having a crayon-drawn flower garden in her background.

Rui was glaring at Haruka with eyes of murderous hatred.

Akito was also doing the same while looking grim.

In the end, even if Shinku meets with Haruka at school, she realized that she can’t talk to him openly aside from greeting him. She couldn’t help but put on a gloomy expression on her face.

During the break, Shinku went to a deserted building and sent a message to Haruka.

She sat down by the window and waited, and the person she had been waiting for came just a few minutes later.

“Hello?”

“Haruka-san!”

She called out his name with a voice so full of joy that Haruka found it hard to believe that it belonged to Shinku.

Shinku immediately ran to Haruka and embraced him tightly.

She believed that if she called for him, Haruka would definitely come.

There may be a limit, but Haruka will definitely take care of Shinku and pamper her a lot.

Shinku loves that kind of Haruka very much.
