The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 147

Chapter 147 – Luden’s Tempest

After finally being deemed well enough, Haruka was allowed to return home, marking the end of his long stay at the hospital.

Haruka’s injuries were much more severe compared to Ria’s, but Ria had to stay at the hospital for an additional week for her treatment.

Ria’s injured arm was amputated and replaced, she had to go through rehabilitation in order to get used to her new arm. In addition, her Talisman needed time to connect to her new limb and have it working the same way as before.

As Haruka was leaving, he noticed that Ria had an unusually lonely expression on her face. He showered her with affection before parting ways and promised to visit her every day.

“Haru-kun, welcome home~”

“Welcome back, Haru.”

“Glad to have you home, Haruka-san.”

Haruka was greeted by Miyako, Yuzurika, and Shinku as he arrived at the Obi household.

He found it surprising that Shinku was there.

“I’m home, everyone.”

Haruka tightly embraced the three of them, feeling their bodies radiating warmth so intensely that it could be mistaken for a fever, giving him a true sense of being alive.

Miyako and Yuzurika wore smiles on their face. Shinku felt a little embarrased, but she surrendered herself to Haruka nontheless.

“School will be back in session tomorrow.”

“I want to skip school and spend time lazily with everyone.”

“You can’t desu wa. Your grades are already precarious as it is.”

“I know.”

Haruka lightly kissed Shinku, who had been complaining, and released the three from his embrace.

“Haru?, I know you just came home, but would you mind cooking something? I’m feeling hungry~”

Yuzurika said as she tugged Haruka into the living room while leaning on him from behind.

Due to the majority of the androids being recalled, the only way to get good food was to cook from scratch or rely on simple side dishes or packaged meals.

The days where everyone could easily enjoy delicious food came to a temporary halt.

“Then I’ll cook something up.”

“I’ll help you.”

“It’s too dangerous for Miyako.”

“No, it isn’t.”

“Never mind that. Go read some book or something on the kotatsu.”

“Ugh?”

Haruka had deemed Miyako too dangerous to help out in the kitchen. In the past, she kept flirting with him with a kitchen knife in hand and kept getting distracted.

After receiving an apologetic kiss from Haruka, Miyako went away and reluctantly huddled next to Yuzurika.

“By the way, are Yunika and the others coming?”

Haruka asked Miyako as he washed his hands in the kitchen.

“They have some things to take care of at the moment, but they said they’ll come tonight to celebrate your discharge.”

“I see, then I’ll have to prepare something for everyone.”

Though the androids were recalled, the drones remained operational.

Haruka selected some ingredients nonchalantly and placed his order. Less than thirty minutes later, a drone came by to deliver the order, carrying a cooler box.

“I’ll help you cook desu wa.”

“It’s fine. Take it easy and relax.”

“Why do you have to work when you just got discharged from the hospital?”

“It’s always been my job to cook.”

Despite Haruka’s words, Shinku did not back down.

“Then, this is a good opportunity desu wa. Will you teach me how to cook?”

“It can’t be helped.”

Since Shinku was so insistent, Haruka had no choice but to give in.

Haruka took out all the ingredients from the cooler and placed them on the kitchen table.

“Why, Haru-kun…!”

“The kitchen is too cramped, just wait there quietly.”

“Whyyy…”

“Miyako-chan, be my pillow.”

“Nyoo.”

Yuzurika sprawled on Miyako’s lap and forced her to give her a lap pillow. Despite Miyako protesting verbally, she remained meek and let Yuzurika do what she wanted.

“Shinku, can you cut the onions into wedges for me?”

With a wry smile at the sight of the two, Haruka placed four onions in front of Shinku. He grabbed the cutting board that was leaning nearby and placed it on the table.

“Wedges…?”

Shinku had no idea what Haruka had meant.

Haruka pulled Shinku close to him and leaned their faces together, then he displayed a video showing cutting techniques in front of them.

“Like that, shape your hand into a cat’s paw.”

“W-wait, Haruka-san, you’re too close desu wa.”

Shinku couldn’t concentrate on the video because Haruka was leaning close to her.

“Can you hold a knife properly? Come on, cat’s paw…”

“You’re being rude desu wa… I have the highest grade in home economics in elementary school.”

“Is that so. Then give it a try.”

“L-like I just said.. You’re being too close desu wa…”

To avoid hindering Shinku, Haruka shifted his position and hugged her from the back.

He rested his chin on Shinku’s shoulder and hugged her loosely.

Realizing that Haruka had no intention of letting her go, Shinku gave up and started cutting up an onion.

Shinku was delighted to have physical contact with Haruka for the first time in a while.

Although she wasn’t used to cutting onions with her hands, she still managed to cut them into wedges as shown in the video without any difficulty.

“Oohh?, as expected of an elite.”

“Of course desu wa.. this much is..Aahn?”

Shinku inadvertently let out a moan as she felt a sudden rush of pleasure from her thigh getting suddenly fondled.

“Haruka-san, could you please refrain from interrupting me?”

“Three onions to go…”

On the days when she couldn’t see Haruka, Shinku had tried her best to comfort herself and endured. She spent each day in anguish and frustration.

Despite Shinku’s complaints, her frustrated body’s switch was flipped.

“You’re right. I shouldn’t bother you while you’re still cutting up something.”

Haruka said as he went back to just hugging her loosely.

“……”

Shinku placed her knife down, she glanced at Haruka behind her as if protesting.

Her moistened eyes seemed to convey a strong plea to Haruka.

Sensing that, he took her lips no questions asked.

He parted her cherry-colored lips with his tongue, tracing the contours of Shinku’s tongue inside.

“Nnn…Fuu…?”

“There’s still three more onions to go…”

Haruka’s words were ignored, this time Shinku turned around and stole his lips.

“Chuu… Haruka-san.. Nnchu? Churu, Chu.. Reroo?”

Shinku lovingly licked Haruka’s lips, gums, and the tip of his tongue, appearing blissful.

“Ah?, you’re making out with Shinku! You’re neglecting me, the first wife!”

“There’s no helping it since Haruka-san wanted to. I had no choice but to comply desu wa.”

“Haru-kun, me too!”

Miyako pushed Yuzurika’s resting head off her lap and stood up, approaching the kitchen.

“We’re still cooking…”

“It’s Haruka-san’s fault for playing around.”

“I only touched your thigh though…”

Haruka ended up making out with Miyako as well.

“Haru-kun, wuv, wuv, I wuv u, Chuu, chu.. Churu?”

Despite Miyako’s cute expression, her kisses were fierce.

Meanwhile Shinku flicked her tongue against Haruka’s earlobe, reminding him that she was there too.

“Haru~, I’m hungryyy~”

Yuzurika murmured sadly as she lied around in the carpet.
