The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 157

Chapter 157 – Crimson River 3

After soaking in the bath, the two had dined in the cafeteria and then went back to their room.

Whenever they walked, their hands would always be connected, just like lovers would.

Before they had started going out, Haruka had thought that Shinku wouldn’t be too fond of being too overly affectionate. Suprisingly, she was quite proactive in physical interactions.

Shinku seemed completely relieved and relaxed, as if all her tension had melted away.

Back in their room, Haruka was laying down the futon while having fun chatting with Shinku.

Though Shinku did respond to Haruka, her eyes seemed distant as she watched him set up their bed.

Sitting cross-legged on the spread-out futon, Haruka looked up at Shinku and playfully tapped the spot beside him while wearing a rather indescribable smile. One that seemed joyful, slightly mischievous, and yet strangely confident all at once.

Swallowing hard, Shinku nervously took a seat beside Haruka, sitting upright.

The heat in her body, which had subsided when they ate their meals, was once again apparent.

Haruka placed his hand over Shinku’s that was rested on her lap.

Haruka gently pressed his lips against Shinku’s as he lifted her face.

The scent of the hot spring, the fragrance of shampoo, the scent her beloved Haruka, various smells mingled around Shinku.

“Mmm…?”

The kiss didn’t end with just once, it kept on coming.

Which each kiss, a little bit of the tension in Shinku’s body gradually melted away.

After a while, as her body had completely relaxed, Shinku was pushed down by Haruka.

“Haruka-san.”

Shinku parted her lips and extended the tip of her cherry-colored tongue.

Responding to her invitation, Haruka slowly licked the tip of Shinku’s tongue.

Caught in his embrace, Shinku’s tongue was drawn into a dance with Haruka’s, they explored and tickled in the pleasurable recesses of their mouths.

Gums, upper palate, tongue… as if being polished, his tongue gently brushed over those areas, causing Shinku’s body to quiver with pleasure.

Shinku swallowed the saliva flowing into her mouth with a blissful expression on her face.

She also poured hers into Haruka.

The realization that her own bodily fluids were flowing into Haruka’s stomach gave her a sense of euphoria.

“Chuu.. Mmm…? Haruka-san, More…?”

Shinku continued to yearn for Haruka, the latter gladly obliged.

Her yukata was disheveled due to Haruka’s actions.

Shinku had tears welling up at the corners of her eyes as she waited for Haruka to come on to her.

“Ah… Haruka, san… ?”

With her legs spread quite apart, Shinku gradually accepted Haruka into her.

“……Fuu?? Haruka-san’s, quite big, it’s hard for me to receive it desu wa…”

While feeling Haruka’s warmth inside her, Shinku let out a sigh reminiscent of when they entered the hot spring earlier.

Her body was getting warm and fuzzy, she couldn’t stop the feeling of happiness that was welling up from inside her.

“Always..always, I want to be like this forever desu wa?”

“I feel the same.”

Blushing slightly, Shinku stared intensely into Haruka’s eyes.

Brushing aside the strands of hair stuck to her forehead from her sweat, he placed kisses in order on her forehead, temples, ears, cheeks, lips, the base of her neck, and collarbone.

With each kiss, Shinku instinctively closed her eyes and let out soft sighs.

Blushing and twisting her body with a mix of embarrassment and joy, Shinku accepted Haruka’s kisses.

As they kissed, Haruka subtly shifted his hips.

Indulging in the sensation of her clinging and yielding flesh, as if she was seeking solace yet holding onto him tightly, the two had basked in bliss.

Calling out each other’s names, they indulged in their desires deeply and throughly.

“Haruka-san… I, can’t..”

After a while, his impatient lover spoke with a tense expression, saying that she couldn’t hold on any longer.

“It’s okay, Shinku.”

On the other hand, Haruka had also reached his limit.

Sensing the approaching climax, Shinku unconsciously tightened her grip by wrapping both legs around Haruka’s waist.

It was the result of the instinctual drive of reproduction, a primal urge that compelled Shinku to make sure Haruka’s genes were released deep within her.

Even though Shinku’s body had not yet experience it’s first menstruation like Yunika, she can’t help but yearn for it.

“Aaa, Kuu… ?”

Taking in Haruka’s desire, Shinku averted her gaze and desperately endured the pleasure that surged through her entire body.

Feeling the simmering magma of desire pouring into her body, Shinku was overcome with a dreamy sensation as her consciousness began to drift away.

“Ahh, Ah… wait., Haruka-san… I, I still, can’t…”

While Shinku was basking in the afterglow, she was brought back to reality by a strong stimulus.

Haruka had once again started to move.

“Ple,ease.. desu wa.. Ahn? If you don’t ease the movement of your waist, Aa…”

Shinku’s pleas were mercilessly ignored, waves of pleasure overwhelmed her to the point of her losing coherent thought.

[Haru is like a beast, handling him alone is impossible. I know it’s hard, but please try to get along with the other girls.]

The words of Yuzurika suddenly echoed in Shinku’s mind.

A gentle sister-in-law with an atmosphere similar to Haruka.

She had indeed advised Shinku about the points to be cautious of when going out with Haruka.

“You won’t be able to handle him by yourself”, Yuzurika said.

“Ah, Aa… Ahh, not there, it’s fine already….? Geez, stop.. don’t…? Ughh~~~???”

Relentlessly, love and desire continued to pour in.

Though repeated cycles of passing out, waking up, and half-dazed state, Shinku found herself enveloped in an unprecedented sense of bliss. Eventually, she collapsed onto the futon. She was outcold, as if she were dead.

Lying face down beside the peacefully sleeping, fluid-covered Shinku, Haruka gazed at the sky outside.

The sun had finally set, the sky was now 90% dark blue. All the remained was the red sunset that could be seen at the tips of the mountains on the distant horizon.

“Ugh…”

Perhaps her sleep was shallow, Shinku was able to wake up about thirty minutes after she had passed out.

“Hello.”

After being greeted up close by Haruka, Shinku’s face turned bright red as she buried her face in the pillow.

“Wanna head to the hot springs? We’re both sweaty and sticky.”

When Haruka suggested that, Shinku turned her face from the pillow and shot him a sharp glare.

“…. I don’t think I can get up. It’s all thanks to a certain someone who keeps being rough over and over.”

“Shinku, your legs look fine though?”

Her gaze grew sharper as he tried to tease her.

Lately, Shinku has often had a happy and gentle expression on her face, Seeing that sharp gaze again made Haruka feel nostalgic.

“Come on, let’s go?. Let’s head to a different hot spring from the one we just went to.”

“Good grief, geez…”

Despite grumbling, Shinku obediently let Haruka carry her on his back as they headed back to the hot springs.

Just a few hours ago, she had been so shy, but now she seemed completely gotten used to it. While they soaked in the hot springs, she comfortably nestled herself in Haruka’s lap.

They rinsed away each other’s bodily fluids, and as they did, new love marks were placed on Shinku’s chest by Haruka. Not to be outdone, Shinku had also left bite marks and hickies on Haruka’s neck.

The sky had turned dark, the scattered lights on the mountains shimmered. As they gazed on the illuminated sakura trees along the riverbank, the two slowly immersed themselves and relaxed in the hot springs.

The two drank coffee milk after the bath. They’re now sitting side by side in massage chairs.

They tossed the yukata that had been soiled with bodily fluids into the laundry and had changed into a fresh new yukata.

“Shinku~, how about we take a short stroll outside?”

“Well…I don’t mind desu wa.”

Although Shinku still struggled to put strength in her legs, with Haruka’s support, she had managed to recover enough to walk a bit.

Walking arm in arm and intimately close, the two walked outside of the inn.

“Where are we going?”

“To the riverbank close here.”

Shinku didn’t understand the reason why Haruka had taken her outside.

Haruka headed towards the dimly lit path without any lights in hand.

Even so, Haruka continued confidently, and Shinku obediently followed. In the first place, the fact that they were taking a leisurely walk on a date, arm in arm under the beautiful night sky, was already quite enjoyable for her.

As the streetlights became fewer and more scattered, Shinku noticed a faint light flickering in the river.

“Huh, what is that?”

In the distance, the small light would glow, then disappear. The light would flicker in intervals.

In the riverbank where only the chirping of crickets, the croaking of frogs, and the sound of the river echoed, Haruka came to a stop.

Haruka then sat down by the riverbank. Shinku, her arm still linked with his, was pulled down as well, and she ended up sitting beside him, clinging to his side.

“Those are fireflies. Aren’t they pretty?”

“Fireflies…?”

Shinku seemed unfamiliar with fireflies. Immediately, a sparkle of fireflies appeared before her eyes.

Fireflies aren’t supposed to be around during the Fall season, but the ones living this place were an evolved species. In this field, fireflies seemed to be around throughout the year.

“They really are pretty desu wa.”

“Right??”

Suddenly, Haruka embraced Shinku and, just like in the hot spring, he had her sit on his lap.

Being embraced from behind by Haruka, Shinku watched listlessly at the countless lights shimmering before her eyes.

Looking up at the night sky, numerous dazzling stars could be seen watching over Shinku and Haruka.

It was a sight that could never be seen in a city, a place with numerous artificial light.

Shinku was a little, no, quite moved by it.

Her eyes became moist, driven by the desire to kiss Haruka once again.

“I’m glad I could make you happy a little.”

“… Yes.”

For ten short minutes, the two of them remained silent, they leaned against each other while gazing at the fireflies and the starry sky.

After that, they returned to the inn and decided to stay the night instead of settling with just a day trip.

After finishing dinner and returning to their room, the two of them occasionally flirted while talking about each other’s recent experiences, which created a lively atmosphere.

They laid side by side on a new futon, watching growth record videos of cats as well as videos about playing with kittens.

“Let’s adopt a cat in the future.”

“Yes.. I’d like to have one desu wa.”

“I’ll take care of raising it in place of my busy wife.”

“W-who the heck are you calling your wife…!”

Though Shinku blushed and protested about being treated as his future wife, she didn’t seem entirely opposed to the idea.

What started as casually watching cat videos, Haruka had unknowingly become engrossed and stopped paying attention to Shinku in the process.

The occasional kisses they exchanged had disappeared, and Shinku found herself becoming jealous of the cats in the videos. She glared at Haruka’s side profile with resentment as he casually murmured “cute” without even noticing her fuming besides him.

“Nyan!”

Unable to bear it any longer, Shinku protested in catspeak. Haruka looked at her with a startled expression on his face.

Seeing Haruka’s expression, completely devoid of a smile and filled with 100% surprise, Shinku felt a rush of embarrassment and regret.

“Shinku, did you turn into a cat?”

“Nyaa?n”

In order to hide her blushing face, Shinku averted her gaze and distanced herself from Haruka.

However, Haruka did not allow her to do so.

Slipping his hands beneath Shinku’s body, he promptly rolled her over, placing her on her back.

“Ugh…”

Shinku moaned as she met Haruka’s gaze. Her cheeks were flushed bright red with shame.

“Shinku, If you’re a cat, your hands are supposed to be a paw, right?”

As instructed by Haruka, Shinku brought her balled-up hands to the sides of her face without any resistance.

It was the pose of a kitten that they had watched in a video earlier.

“Nyan! Nyan!”

Shinku had reached the point of desperation.

In her shame, tears welled up at the corner of Shinku’s eyes and spilled sideways, moistening the bedding along her ears.

Currently, Shinku’s appearance was incredibly seductive, so lovely, and beautiful. It was likely that about ninety-nine percent of men would find it impossible to contain their reason, as her alluring presence undoubtedly stirred their desires.

This time, Haruka could no longer restrain himself, as he leaned onto Shinku.

Without much foreplay, he forcefully entered into Shinku.

“Nyaaaan? Haruka-san…. so rough…?”

It didn’t take long for the cat’s meow turning into a human’s groan, and then for the human groan turning into a feral beast’s scream.

Shinku continued to moan under Haruka all night long.

It didn’t stop until the tears had dried up and the screams had died out.

The next morning, to clean their bodies covered in each other’s bodily fluid, Haruka carried the exhausted and immobile Shinku in a princess carry, leading her to a shallow and lukewarm hot spring.

It was the third time they came to the hot springs since the day before.

Soaking in the lukewarm water, Shinku gradually regained her senses. She had completely surrendered herself to Haruka and was now clinging to him affectionately, much like a kitten.

“Haruka-san, you really are a beast desu wa… Just like what Onee-sama had foretold.”

“I’m confident that we’ll never experience a sexless relationship in the future.”

“I don’t need that kind of confidence!”

Finally, after tending to each other’s bodies and soaking in the warm water, they left the bath.

As if it were natural, the two changed in the same changing room. In the end, as long as they didn’t report each other, there was no issue with using the changing room of the opposite sex. Of course, it would be a problem if there were other people present, but fortunately, there were only Haruka and Shinku staying at the inn currently.

Haruka had once again carried Shinku on his back. He wondered if Shinku had spent more time being carried by him instead of walking with her own feet while they were staying in this place.

Meanwhile, Shinku was still feeling as if Haruka was inside her, she was squirming on his back without him knowing the reason why.

Once they got back to their room, the two quickly prepared to leave the inn.

In the first place, the only luggage that they had brought with them was Shinku’s handbag, and nothing else.

The soiled futon had been collected before they knew it, and the room was clean.

As such, they only needed to change back into the clothes that they had worn before they came. After that, they were free to check out from the inn.

Since the night before, Haruka was bombarded with numerous messages from Miyako, Ria, Yunika, and Tsuyuri. He tried to reply to their messages as he glanced sideways at Shinku who was walking besides him.

Shinku had a gloomy expression on her face. Despite holding hands with Haruka, their fingers interlaced as lovers do, her grip was surprisingly strong. Nevertheless, her steps seemed heavy.

It wasn’t because of Haruka’s actions that left her weakened. Her attitude was a result of her anxiety, wondering when she would have another chance to be alone with Haruka and share their love once they returned.

“Shinku.”

“…. What is it?”

With words lacking in strength, she gazed at Haruka with cloudy eyes.

“Let’s go out again. Whether it’s here, or some other place.”

“That’s right.. Again, just the two of us…”

“Just us two.”

As Haruka smiled brightly, Shinku finally managed to muster a faint smile as well.

They both sat down side by side in the back seat of a self-driving car that they had called over.

Shinku gazed at the river where the fireflies were fluttering about until it can’t be seen anymore as it was being hidden behind the mountains.

They left the Field Art and arrived at the highway.

The car’s speed quickly accelerated to 300 meters per second and heads straight to the city where Haruka and the others lived.

“…..Hic.”

Before Haruka knew it, Shinku was crying.

She was not bawling her eyes out like Miyako, but quietly flowing her tears down her cheeks.

“Shinku.”

Haruka hugged her and held her as tight as he could.”

“I’m sorry, Shinku.”

“… Sniffle.”

He wiped the tears running down her cheeks and kissed her on the lips.

“Please don’t misunderstand.”

As Shinku wiped her tears with a new handkerchief, she declared.

“I was very happy to spend time with you, Haruka-san.”

“If you say so, then I’m glad.”

As Shinku silently asked for a kiss, Haruka eagerly complied.

However, Shinku couldn’t stop crying.

The speeding car brought Haruka and Shinku to their city in less than thirty minutes.

The car, which had slowed down to a speed of 60 kilometers per hour as it transitioned from the highway to the regular road, reached the student dormitory where Shinku lived without much time passing.

After getting out of the car, Shinku bid him farewell with a parting greeting.

“Have a good day, Haruka-san. See you at school.”

Shinku, whose tears hadn’t stopped until the end, stumbled and fell shortly after she began walking. Her legs and hips were still not fully recovered, which affected her stability.

Haruka hurriedly got out of the car to help her up.

“Thank you.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’ll be fine desu wa.”

Wiping her tears away, she stood up with Haruka’s help.

This time, Shinku walked back to the dormitory with firm steps.

Haruka silently watches her back as she walked away.

?

“I knew it. I had a feeling you would pull something like that.”

Kashiwagi Rui, who had happened to see Shinku getting out of the car parked near the dormitory, snapped a picture in a spur of a moment.

The image captured by Rui’s multi-device clearly showed Shinku’s tearful and sorrowful expression. Alongside her was Haruka, who was seen smiling and snuggling up to her. The image seemed to imply that something had happened between her and Haruka.

While he didn’t harbor any special feelings towards Shinku, Rui’s hatred towards for Haruka had intensified even further.

A worthless man who doesn’t produce anything of value. A man who was living freely and without a care. In the end, that man had defiled Yunika, a woman of high status.

Reika, Shinku, Tsuyuri. He had tarnished them all as he pleased.

Of course the women were also fools, since they were careless and ended up getting exploited. They got tainted by Haruka, who took advantage of their weaknesses.

What Haruka did was unforgivable.

He had laid his hands on the women of high status as much as he wanted without knowing his place in the world.

“Drop dead.”

Rui’s curse quickly drifted into the air and disappeared.
