The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 27

Ria returned Sumireko’s powerful flat serve without much difficulty, which was hard to believe considering that she was just a beginner.

Two or three rallies continue, and little by little, the positions of the two players become misaligned.

Ria hit a wide shot that bounces off the court.

It was a close shot that even a backhand player could not reach in time.

Sumireko stepped forward with her mechanical right foot, and then she overtook the predicted course of the ball with a step that would have been impossible for a normal human being.

She hit the ball with her forehand along the sideline, which was supposed to be just in front of her with her backhand.

“What?!”

There was no way she could make it in time. Ria looked at the ball just passing the sideline in disbelief.

“Yunika, can she play in official games?”

“Of course not.”

“Right”

How loose is the club if the head of the club is someone who can’t play in the official games?

When Haruka and the others looked back at the court, Sumireko was about to serve.

The serve from her raw arm jumped gently and bounced heavily when it hit the ground.

Ria returns it with a spinning shot from a slightly bad position. They did not start a rally, and both players hit back and forth on the court.

Smashes and volleys were all returned, and no missed shots were made. In no time at all, the score was 0-40.

But Ria did not give up.

Sumereko has a mechanical right foot that can catch up with any ball, but she hits with her real arm. She is not as good a shot as Yunika. Ria uses this to her advantage.

Ria first attacked with a slice shot.

This is a shot with a reverse rotation. The ball bounces and flies low in the air without floating. It is a very hard ball to hit.

Sumireko, who is not that skilled, manages to return the ball, but her shot is not powerful.

Ria approaches the net and hits a powerful drive volley.

Unlike a mere angled volley, Ria swung the ball like a smash, and the power of the volley was tremendous.

The bouncing ball passed by Sumireko, who was unable to react and was unable to move, disappeared behind her back.

“Eh?!”

The ball was supposed to fly away, but something invisible hit back toward Ria. Ria reacted quickly, but she was not able to react in time, and Sumireko scored a point.

Sumireko gets one game, and the scoreboard changes to a new one.

“What in the world…?”

“That was…”

Haruka and Yunika, who were watching from the bench, did not understand what had happened.

Sumireko looked at Ria with the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Her sleepy eyes narrowed and she asked Sumireko sharply,

“Did you use Sorcery?”

“You could say that I did. Or perhaps didn’t.”

Immediately, Sumireko snapped her fingers. It was a light sound that sounded strange.

Something gradually appeared from behind Sumireko’s waist. Seeing this, the three were stunned.

Sumireko had hidden an invisible weapon.

A three-meter long mechanical tail with a black luster appeared.

Attached to the tip of the tail was a tennis racket, as if it was natural.

As it was being reeled in, the tail was shortened vigorously. Finally, all but the tip of the tail disappeared into Sumireko’s body. Haruka couldn’t understand how that happened. There was no way something that large could physically fit inside Sumireko’s body.

It was hidden by the shirt, but the upper part of the skirt was missing so that the tail could come out.

“That sort of thing…”

Yunika murmured in dismay.

“I need more data. I’ll have you play with me a little longer, Ise Ria.”

Yunika stood up and protested.

“Then I’ll join him. It’s not fair as it is.”

“That’s true… You two come at me together.”

With a wry smile on her face, Sumireko agreed.

Yunika runs and brings a new racket from the warehouse. She went straight to Ria.

“Thank you, Yunika.”

“No problem. Let’s beat that mad scientist together.”

“Hey, I can hear you.”

The buzzer sounded to start the game, and Yunika released her serve.

After the pseudo-doubles game, the two players fought an evenly matched game.

Sumireko’s tail was only used to return the ball that she could not get, and she could not hit a powerful shot because she was not on her feet. However, since her tail moves so fast that it is hard to notice, she is able to pick up the balls that ordinary players cannot catch.

If they hit a shot that can only be returned by their tails, they will get a sweet shot that is ready to be hit. The first thing the two of them did was to focus on shots that Sumireko could not react to.

A chance came, and Ria made use of her height to hit a smash. Sumireko returned with a backhand, and Yunika shot a rising shot to the opposite side. She hurriedly stretches out her tail as she returns to her posture, but she can’t reach it.

“I did it!”

“Nice, Ria!”

They high-fived each other in high spirits.

One of them, with a skill and coordination so skillful that it is hard to believe that she is a beginner, is hunting down Sumireko.

“40-15. One point to go.”

Haruka looked at the scoreboard and murmured happily. One more point would give Ria and her team the game.

“I don’t like to keep losing, even for the sake of data.”

Sumireko mutters softly and smiles a peculiar smile.

Vivid purple and red flames erupt from her body. At the same time, using the extended function of the Talisman, she draws out the potential of her body.

“S-she’s burning!? We have to put out the fire!”

“Manager?! Are you okay?!”

“I’m fine! Serve! This is just visual effects from an app!”

Sumireko blushed bright red as she told them when they were surprised and tried to stop the game.

It is an visual effects app, that is, an image shown by the Talisman. It looks real, but in reality it does not exist.

Ria, who had regained her composure, released her serve.

Sumireko’s eyes, green eyes turn purple.

She returns and looks at Ria who tries to return the ball with a forehand. From her stance and the angle of her racket, she guessed the course of the ball. She turned her tail quickly and reflected the ball at an angle. The power of the shot made the ball weak, but because of the angle, Yunika could not reach the ball in time.

40-30.

Sumireko released a slice serve and hit back the returned ball with another slice shot.

Ria could not pick up the low ball well and she hit a big shot with a big curve.

Sumireko smiled with the corners of her mouth turned up, and moved the racket to her left prosthetic hand.

She moves a small distance away with her mechanical right foot, raises her right hand, and swings it with her left hand. He bends over slightly and then hits the ball over his head with a powerful smash.

A strong smash is released.

Ria receives the ball with a broken posture, but the ball does not fly properly and hits the net. 40-40.

The game was brought to a deuce.

The limiter was released.

A small voice that no one could hear.

With an electronic “pep-pep-pep” sound, her left arm and right thigh deform and look a little different.

Steam is emitted from the inside of the prosthetic limb. The heat is not actually trapped inside the prosthesis, although it is intended to emit heat.

The tip of the tail glows red and ominous for no particular reason.

The effect of the visual effects app is maximized, and the flames around the tail become more intense, and sparks of fire are scattered around the area.

“This looks bad, doesn’t it?”

“Not much has changed, I guess.”

Nanasaki Sumireko is a senior who’s infamous for suffering from a severe case of chuunibyou. That was probably just a facade, just a facade.

“Here I go!”

Sumireko tosses the ball and swings her racket.

She abandoned her control and unleashed a flat serve for power.

Yunika returns it, Sumireko returns it.

Seeing Yunika’s forehand sailed to the opposite side, Sumireko turned first, using her prosthetic leg as usual.

“Fugyaa?!”

As she tried to hold the momentum of the step with her left leg, she let out a lovely scream and fell to the ground. Her lime-colored underwear was visible, and Haruka involuntarily stood up.

Sumireko’s tail lost control and falls onto her back.

“Uuu… I can’t stand up, all my muscles…”

She tries to stand up with her arms, but she loses her strength and collapses. She tried to support herself with her prosthetic hand, but it seemed to be no use.

It was the reaction of a person who always stays in the clubroom playing with machines, but who had applied a load beyond the limit without any warm up exercises.

After taking a glance at Ria and Yunika who were standing there in a daze, Haruka ran up to Sumireko.

“Are you all right?, Sumireko-san”

“Uuu… I’m not all right, give me your hand.”

She moaned and begged shyly. The gap between Haruka’s first impression of her as an intelligent and cool beauty with a cool smile is so large that it made him feel a sense of shock.

Haruka lends her his shoulder and take her to the bench beside him and make her sit down. Ria and Yunika come up behind them.

Sumireko was sweating like beads and convulsing all over.

“That’s because you’re pushing yourself too hard when you don’t usually exercise.”

“… Sacrifices are always made in experiments.”

Sumireko answered Yunika’s words, turning her face away from her. It was a grandiose statement, but it was a sacrifice that could be solved if she tried hard enough.

“At least I got the minimum data. Obi Haruka, I’m sorry, but could you take me to the Science club room?”

“Well, that’s fine…”

Haruka turns his back and bends down in front of Sumireko.

“Please get on”

“Take care of me”

Sumireko rests all her weight on Haruka, supporting herself firmly with her hands and feet. Haruka had an image that she was unhealthy, but she is more plump than he had expected, and he felt sexually aroused by her.

“I’ll be back in a bit.”

“Okay”

“See you later, Haruka”

They see him off, Haruka heads off to the Science club room. He tells his destination to the navigation system with his thoughts, and the system automatically displays the directions in his field of vision. Haruka followed the directions.

Sumireko was much lighter than Haruka had imagined. Her prosthetic legs, hands, and tail looked metallic, which was surprising since she looks obviously heavy.

As he walked silently down the empty hallway, Sumireko opened her mouth.

“You are Yuzurika’s younger brother, aren’t you?”

“You know my sister?”

“She’s one of my few friends.”

It was a surprise to him that Yuzurika, who was mostly absent from school and working all the time, had a friend of Sumireko’s type.

“Is Nee-san bothering you in any way?”

“Well… I mean, she took my first kiss out of nowhere…”

“I’m sorry…”

It’s hard to imagine what Yuzurika was thinking when she suddenly decided to take away Sumireko’s first kiss. Haruka just apologized without thinking.

After chatting with each other for a while, they arrive at the clubroom of the mechanical club.

Before Haruka could reach the sliding door, Sumireko’s tail pulled it open.

“Uwaa…”

A spectacular sight of a mess of machines spread out in front of his eyes. A large number of parts were scattered on the classroom floor, and there was no place to step.

“Put me down on the couch over there.”

He manages to get across the gap between the junk and the sofa, and placed Sumireko down on the tattered sofa.

“Aren’t you going to clean up the room?”

“No problem, I know where all the parts are.”

Sumireko says with a smug look on her face, as if to say, “Aren’t I great?”

It is unbelievable, but it might be true considering that she is 20 years old and has a citizen rank of B.

“I’m going to take a rest. You can go back now. I’ll pay you back later.”

“Oh, no, you don’t owe me anything… Excuse me.”

While being pulled back by the sight of Sumireko’s bare white thighs, Haruka turns on his heel and leave the mechanical club room.

On his way back to the tennis court, Haruka found an unexpected person.

“Claudia-san”

When he called out to her, she seemed to be surprised, too, and looked at Haruka in his tennis uniform with rolled eyes.

“Obi-san, why are you here dressed like that?”

“Oh, stuff happened. Now I’m going back to the tennis court.”

“I see.”

“Would you like to play tennis with me, Claudia-san?”

When Haruka invited her to play tennis, Shinku lowered her voice a little and said

“…. That’s fine. That’s what I was planning to do in the first place.”

“Oh, I see. I’m glad.”

Turning away from the smiling Haruka, Shinku strode off, leaving Haruka behind.

Haruka hurriedly followed her and lined up beside her.

“Claudia-san looks very good in our school’s tennis uniform, doesn’t she?”

“I don’t know about that.”

“Ugh… Claudia-san’s cold”

“Hmph…”

Because of the coldness of Shinku’s attitude, Haruka hunched over a bit.

As she walked, she asked about the condition of Haruka next to her.

“…. Thanks to you, Kureha-san asked me out on a date.”

Saying this, Shinku smiles bewitchingly.

Haruka smiles, feeling a little sad at the fact that Shinku is happy to be asked out by Shun.

“I’m happy for you, Claudia-san.”

“I would like to thank you someday.”

“Well, you should go on another date with me sometime.”

“I’ll think about it.”

“All right!”

Haruka was delighted, and Shinku smiled upon seeing that.

Soon they arrived at the tennis club and went to Yunika and Ria, who were having a rally.

As they approached, they stopped practicing and came closer to them.

“Shinku, you decided to come here after all,”

“I have to exercise once in a while. I had no choice.”

“Yes, yes.”

Yunika replies to her friend’s insincere comment in a lame, dismissive manner.

Shinku tends to be dependent on Yunika, and when she participated in other club activities, she often came to Yunika to like this.

While Yunika greeted Shinku, Ria greeted Haruka with a smile.

“Welcome back, Haruka”

“I’m back”

Haruka’s mind wanders that if he married Ria, she would greet him like this every day.

After that, the four of them practiced moderately in a form of a match, with Shinku wearing her tennis uniform.

?

“It’s time to end.”

Yunika shouted as dusk fell.

While Haruka and the other three were chatting and laughing, he went to the locker room first.

Although he had been exercising on a regular basis, he was exhausted, partly because he had overworked muscles that he did not usually use.

Haruka entered the locker room, sat down on a couch, and leaned his back against the wall.

The door opened and Ria entered the room.

“Oh, Ria. Wait a minute, I’m going to change first.”

“Okay…”

He starts to change first. He puts on his shirt and pants, and gets ready. Deciding that he does not need to wear a tie, he puts his tie in his bag.

When he is ready to leave, he calls out to Ria, but he is caught off guard and stiffens.

He caught a glimpse of the nape of her neck, which was wet with sweat.

In no time at all, the sexual desire takes over his brain.

Seeing the changing expression on his face, Ria realizes that his switch has turned, and her heart starts pounding in her chest.

A peach-colored heart mark appears behind her eyes.

Seeing this, Haruka smiled.

Seeing that Haruka takes a step forward, Ria takes a step back.

In order to bring out his beastly nature and to stimulate his sexual desire, Ria acted a little frightened, playing the role of a small animal being pushed by a predator.

Understanding this, Haruka slowly closes the distance between them without stopping his approach.

Taking a few steps back, Ria’s back finally hits the wall. Her heart was pulsating and beating so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of her mouth.

She looked up at Haruka who takes another step closer, and with her heart filled with anticipation, she waited for the “next” step.

“…. You look so sexy, Ria, covered in sweat.”

“…No…Its’ dirty…”

The meaning of “no” is a hundred and eighty degrees different.

He slowly moved his face closer to her and kissed her neck. The unaccustomed stimulation made her let out a small scream and she hurriedly pressed her mouth shut.

“Nn—“

Ria shook her blonde hair and shook her head in embarrassment.

She puts her hands on both of Haruka’s shoulders and pushes him back slightly. Of course, she had no intention of bouncing him off. She was just trying to make him feel better by making him feel like a s?a?d?i?s?t?.

He tickles her neck with the tip of his tongue, and she twists her body with the sweet numbness.

“Ria, I love you.”

“….Y-yes”

He whispered in her ear and sucked her neck. She desperately endures the pleasure that threatens to break her back.

“Sweat, it tastes good.”

“It doesn’t taste good…”

Her eyes became moist, and the color of her heart mark became even clearer.

After running his tongue along the nape of Ria’s neck, and soaking the sweat to the fullest, Haruka finally kissed Ria’s lips. Ria immediately angled her lips to make it easier for him to kiss her, and then she welcomed him.

“Nnn… Chuu, chuu, nnn”

Losing track of time, Haruka gave her pecked kisses over and over again.

Pressed against the wall, she couldn’t escape the pleasure, and her thoughts were burned away.

In a daze, Ria opened her small mouth and stuck out her tongue.

As soon as he was about to take it into her mouth and caress it, he heard a voice

“Hey, how long are you guys going to keep changing?!”

The door of the locker room was slammed roughly. Haruka realized that twenty minutes had passed. It seems that Yunika, who had grown impatient, had come to call them.

Both of them shook their shoulders and hurried away from the door. A warning window would appear if a member of the opposite sex entered the locker room, but the door to the locker room could be opened by any member of the opposite sex.

“I’m coming!”

Yunika answers in a loud voice to Haruka at the other side of the door. “Hurry up,” Yunika says, and leaves.

“I’m going to change! Wait for me outside.”

“Okay… We’ll talk later.”

Thinking of another time, Ria’s body trembled with a thrill of pleasure in her memory.

Haruka left the room and Ria hurriedly started to change her clothes.

Her head cools down, but her burning body does not easily return to normal.

In agony, Ria joins the three waiting outside.

[Let’s continue at the park.]

Ria tried to send such a message to Haruka, but stopped, and finally couldn’t do so.

When Yunika and Shinku, who lived in the dormitory, parted from them in the schoolyard, and they were alone, Ria still couldn’t ask him for it.

Haruka seemed to have calmed down, and he did not ask for Riai.

They parted at the school gate and went home.

Ria spent the whole day imagining what she was going to do with Haruka, maintaining a heart mark in her eyes.
