The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 22

This week, Haruka helped Ria and Yunika clean the classroom, except for the first day when he went home with Miyako.

On the first day and the two days when Haruka helped Yunika for the first time, they broke up right after the cleaning. But on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the other three days, they had a long chat after school even after the cleaning.

Today Yunika sat near Haruka and Ria again, and the three of them exchange a few words.

It seems that Ria and Yunika have a surprisingly good chemistry, and they have a good conversation even though their interests do not match in any way. They have tremendous communication skills.

“By the way, are you doing well in your club activities?”

“Oh, well, I’m in the top of the rank along with Shinku, so I’m doing fine.”

Yunika replies to Ria’s question in a nonchalant manner.

Yunika was mainly involved in the club activities of the tennis club and the minor B-title games [Blue Air Force] and [Steel Fantasy]. Shinku also belongs to all of them, which shows how close they are.

Although they do not have outstanding achievements like Shun and Miyako, they seem to have achieved fairly good results. In Blue Air Force, Yunika and Shinku formed a squadron and won the first place in a two-on-two national competition.

She seems to be a multi-talented person, participating in various sports and games, and seemed to have achieved a certain level of success and improved her evaluation value.

In this world where only the results are considered and not the attitude and practice process of club activities, it would not be a problem if she slacked off a little if one was as good as Yunika.

However, even though she said she was fine with it, she did not seem to have considered her partner’s thoughts.

The door to the classroom is opened, and a girl with shiny platinum blonde hair walks in.

It was Shinku, the girl that Haruka was currently crazy about.

Seeing her, Yunika rolled her eyes.

“What’s wrong, Shinku?”

“What’s wrong is that I’ve come to pick you up when you didn’t show up for the club activities.”

“I sent you a message saying I’d be late.”

“Who would’ve thought you’d be this late?”

She put her arms around her waist with a hmph. She looked a little unhappy.

If she had joined the VR game club, she would probably have to wait in a world with a time rate of four seconds. Since Yunika had already been with Haruka and Ria for more than an hour, it would mean that she had been waiting for four hours if she had been in the game all this time.

Between the two of them, a cheerful voice of Haruka interrupted them.

“Hello, Claudia-san!”

“What is this obsession you have with greetings?”

She looked at Haruka with a puzzled look. She is probably referring to the greeting messages that Haruka sends to her every day.

“You can return my messages once in a while, can’t you?”

“Too troublesome.”

“Just type ‘good morning’ and send it back…!”

Haruka falls down on the desk and sobs. Ria patted his head.

“Oh, poor Haruka!”

She can type on a keyboard, but there was no need. All she has to do is type [good morning] in her head and reply. There’s not a word of effort anymore. He knew it, she doesn’t have a pulse. No pulse means he is dead to her

“If you give me some useful information about Kureha-san, I will think about it.”

“It’s not that useful of an information, but I have a good plan.”

“It’s worthless information… as far as I’m concerned.”

Yunika stared at Haruka with half-open eyes as he stood up and puffed out his chest .

“There is a plan that might be effective against Shun, but it’s not a bad one.”

“First, Claudia-san and I will have a date…”

“Huh? There’s no way I would do that desu wa.”

“”Hahahaha””

Shinku blatantly refused to go on a date with Haruka, which prompted Yunika and Ria to laugh at him. Despite Haruka’s reproacheful gaze, the two continued to laugh silently.

“Why should I go on a date with you?”

“Oh he got rejected!”

“I’m still in the middle of explaining! Hear me out!”

Yunika was laughing with tears in her eyes, while Shinku was glaring at him with disdain. Ria, who was laughing as much as Yunika, looked cute, so Haruka didn’t mind.

“Well, go on” she says.

“Claudia-san, don’t you always treat Shun with an aura of fondness?”

“I’m going to beat you”

“What would Shun think if a girl who liked him so much suddenly went on a date with another guy and posted it on social media?”

Miyako also planned a private date with Haruka in order to make Shun, who has been in love with another girl, impatient.

And when Haruka saw Miyako, whom he thought would be his future girlfriend getting along with Shun, he desperately sought her out.

Even though Shun doesn’t have any shortage of women, he would want a girl as beautiful as Shinku to be his lady-in-waiting if he could.

“I don’t think Kureha-san will make a move like that. He has no trouble with women.”

“You don’t know that, do you? When Shun was in elementary school, he stole a girl who had a boyfriend, but he never had the girl he was dating taken away from him.”

Yunika expresses her discomfort explicitly after hearing Haruka’s words. Haruka becomes a little impatient, thinking that he might be resentful because of his bad comments about Shun.

In fact, she was offended by the fact that Shun stole a girl with a boyfriend.

“It seems like he’s targeting you, Claudia-san, so it might work, right? Maybe he’ll become more aggressive to keep you, right?”

Actually, Haruka doesn’t know if Shun was aiming for Shinku or not.

Shun was a smooth operator in elementary school, but now he didn’t seem to be making moves on any girls in class yet.

Since the secondary school lasts for six years, a failure to establish a relationship in the first year would last for a long time. Therefore, he may be carefully trying to get the girls in the upper caste.

As for the excess sexual desire, it can be solved by calling the girls who he was dating in elementary school

“…… Hmmm?”

“Seems interesting, why don’t you guys go on a date”

“You know what they say, if you can’t push, try pulling?”

Ria and Yunika followed up. At this point, Haruka remembered Ria’s presence and hurriedly shook his head.

“Oh, but it doesn’t have to be me. Fudo-kun or Kashiwagi-kun should be fine.”

“Huh… Well… I guess so… It might be worth a try.”

Shinku puts her hand on her chin and ponders.

She glanced at Haruka in front of her.

“Obi-san, on Saturday, come with me.”

“Eh–?”

“You’re free anyway, aren’t you? You have a vanilla profile, after all.”

Haruka’s eyes widen in surprise. Without moving his face, he looked at Ria with only his eyes, she smiles at him. Chills ran through his spine.

“I’m so happy for you, Haruka.”

Ria smiles happily. It was a simple word of congratulations, but it made Haruka tremble.

Now that there is a break in the conversation, Shinku urges Yunika to go back to the club

“Okay, Yunika, let’s go to the club activities.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Obi-san, I’ll call you later for more details.”

“….I understand.”

“Good luck with your club activities, you two!”

Yunika got up from her chair and followed behind Shinku. As usual, Ria and Haruka waved her off.

Instead of waving, Yunika takes a glance at Haruka and the others and leaves the classroom.

?

There is silence in the classroom as only Haruka and Ria are left.

Haruka is looking out the window at the setting sun, thinking about tomorrow. Ria, who had moved her chair to the next to him, is standing beside him, as if snuggling up to him. She was rubbing her temples against the Haruka’s shoulder and looking happy.

The distance between them would surely cause rumors if their classmates came back, but he was so attached to Ria that he didn’t mind

“I’m sorry… Ria… I have to go on a date with another girl…”

“It’s okay. It’s just a fake date.”

He hugged Ria’s shoulder and pulls her closer to himself.

In the quiet classroom, Ria mutters to herself.

“I’m going to miss you since today is the last day of my cleaning duty.”

“I guess so.”

He agrees with her, looking at the setting sun.

In a class of 40 students, one male and one female are chosen to be in charge of cleaning duty. In other words, it will be nineteen weeks before Ria and Yunika are next assigned to cleaning duty. For the time being, Ria and Yunika do not talk to each other like that after school.

Thinking of Yunika happily talking with Ria, Haruka tells her.

“I’m really happy that Yunika has been able to see how attractive Ria is this past week.”

“Oh… You say that so easily.”

At Haruka’s words, Ria turns her head down with her cheeks red. She put her hands on her cheeks and took a small deep breath.

She looks down at her desk and says as if remembering something.

“You know… Haruka… I’ve been trying out an app just for you…”

With her hands on her cheeks, Ria slowly looks up and meets Haruka’s eyes.

Her cheeks are bright red and her eyes are wet with a glamorous look.

“An application? What kind?”

“Look into my eyes, okay? Come a little closer.”

Haruka brought his face closer to Ria.

Her eyelids were kinda sleepy. In her eyes, there was a peach-colored heart mark.

“There’s some kind of heart mark in your pupils.”

“When I’m filled with love for Haruka, the heart marks appear automatically.”

It was hard to notice at a glance, but if they were making eye contact at a certain distance, he was able to see it clearly.

Unintentionally, he put his hands around Ria’s body and hugged her. His cheeks are definitely reddish, caught by Ria

Ria’s body temperature was so high that it was almost boiling.

“Is it okay for someone who’s going on a date tomorrow to do this?”

“It’s a fake date!”

She warned in a sweet voice, pulling his body apart once.

In the depths of Ria’s eyes, the heart mark is more clearly and brightly colored than before.

As if under a spell, Haruka cannot take his eyes off from her eyes.

He moved his face closer to hers.

Ria closes her eyelids. The heart mark disappears from her eyes.

Haruka closes his eyes too, and touches her lips with his.

“Chuu…”

They kissed each other a few times, kissing each other tightly, and then their faces were separated.

Ria looked so stunned with a heart mark in her eyes with a debauched expression on her face. This is what happens after a mere kiss.

“Ria, can you kiss me?”

He demanded, and Ria responded by sticking out her tongue as she was told.

He welcomed her tongue into his oral cavity and sucked on it. When he rubbed her upper jaw with the tip of his tongue, Ria’s body trembled.

When he separated their lips to breath, Ria took a breath and pressed her own lips against his as if to chase him.

“Nnn… Nnn… Chuu…”

His head burning with desire, He responded to Ria’s deep kisses by crawling his hands inside her blazer and rubbing her breasts with the ten fingers of both hands on the top of her blouse.

At the moment when he touched her body, Ria pulled her lips away as if in a panic. She grabs his wrists that are touching her breasts, and asks him

“Wa-wait a minut?! Why are you touching my breasts?!”

“I can’t?”

“I have a complex about my flat chest!”

“It’s rather exciting…”

Ria’s cheeks are upturned and she looks adorably angry. However, a heart mark remains in her eyes. The heartmark application, it’s disadvantage is too strong.

In addition, she restrains his wrist from touching her breast, but only restrains it lightly. There is no further resistance. It is practically a permission to continue.

“N-no, don’t…!”

He wriggles his ten fingers on both breasts and takes Ria’s lips, which are trying to rebel.

Sucking her tongue, He rubs her breasts with his thumb, and her sides with his index, middle, and ring fingers.

She resisted by squeezing his wrists and writhing, but it only stimulated his sexual desire.

“Y-yaan, Nnnn… …!”

They spent a full hour in the classroom, where people might come. Until the sun went down, Haruka and Ria made out.

When the sun has gone down, Haruka finally releases Ria .

“Aaa… Haa…”

Ria’s flat chest, which she says has a complex of, moves up and down as she tries hard to control her heavy breathing.

“Haruka’s hard thing, it keeps hitting me…”

“If I had kept going a little longer, I might have had exploded.”

“Pervert”

“Ria, you don’t get hard, do you?”

“I try not to send signals from my center there… I have a complex about my man parts.”

The classroom is so dimly lit that it is difficult to see each other’s expressions.

For a while, they looked at each other silently. Occasionally, as if remembering, they kissed each other lightly, expressing their love for each other.

Ria, who is now able to catch her breath, encourages Haruka in a gentle tone of voice.

“Haruka. Good luck on your date tomorrow.”

“Yeah, I’ll do my best.”

She puts her hand on Haruka’s shoulder and kisses her again.

She smiles at him closely and whispers her advice.

“…. Also, when you’re on a date with Claudia-san, don’t ever bring up your sister, okay?”

“Eh? Got it.”

“Promise? Don’t talk about your sister, okay?”

“I don’t get why though, but okay.”

Haruka titled his head in confusion, but he obeyed regardless. He wondered whether the words “sister” and “family” were not a good topic for Shinku.

Ria finally steps back from the top of Haruka and stands her ground.

“Let’s go home now, Haruka.”

“Okay.”

The two get ready to leave and leave the classroom.

The club building, where the VR equipment and the cultural clubs are located, is crowded even at night, but the classroom building, where the students usually take classes, is deserted with only a minimum of light.

Taking advantage of the absence of people, they intertwined their fingers with each other and headed to the entrance to the school, holding hands.

They let go of each other’s hands once to change to outdoor shoes at the shoe box, but naturally hold hands again as we go out of the entrance.

The sports club was actively working under the ground lights. It was the first time for Haruka to stay until this time, and the first time for him to see the lights on.

With the lively voices of the athletic clubs in the background, they leave the school gate.

This is where Haruka say goodbye to Ria.

“Bye, Ria.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow.”

They untangle their loosely entwined fingers, seemingly regretting the loss of each other’s company.

They stiffen as they stare at each other’s faces.

Ria’s desire to kiss him overflows, and as if to break it, she turns on her heel and heads home.

“Ria!”

“Eh?”

Before she knew it, Haruka, who had been behind her, quickly but gently brushes his lips against Ria’s as she turns around, so that his teeth do not come in contact with them.

Before he could savor the kiss, his face was pulled away from Ria’s lips.

“Well then. I’ll keep in touch with you often during your fake date.”

With this short statement, she turned her back to his and left this time.

Ria tries to stay calm as she cools her cheeks that are getting hotter and hotter.

With her hand on her cheek, she walks lightly home.

“I love you… Haruka…”
