The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 60

Yunika also boldly got involved during the movie screening because Haruka’s “friend” Ria was doing it.

Since Yunika was watching a horror movie at the moment, she had less resistance to body touching, and the hurdle to touch was low.

She hugged Haruka’s arm “just like Ria did” and leaned down with her head on his shoulder.

The psychological burden was small, since she was just imitating what her friend was doing.

Filled with a sense of euphoria, Yunika spoke eloquently to Haruka.

“You have flowers on both hands. Are you happy?”

“I’m very happy.”

Yunika blushed furiously as Haruka looked back at her with a big smile on his face.

Thinking that Yunika’s personal space must be quite small since she was touching his body so much, Haruka puts his hands on Yunika’s waist and hugs her.

Yunika moved around shyly, but settled down in Haruka’s arms.

Haruka hugged Ria in the same way, and they all cuddled together to while watching the movie.

Yunika was so engrossed in the warmth of Haruka’s body that she couldn’t concentrate much, but still enjoyed the movie to a certain extent.

Haruka genuinely enjoyed the movie, while Ria was so wrapped up in her thoughts about what she was going to do tonight that she didn’t watch the movie at all.

“I’ve never had any friends before, so I had a lot of fun today.”

“The first half of the movie was heavy.”

Yunika smiled at Haruka as she said these lines to which he didn’t know how to respond.

After watching the first feature-length zombie movie and three short horror movies, the three of them left the theater room that they had rented.

When Haruka checked the time, it was well into the afternoon.

“I ate a little earlier, but I’m hungry.”

“Likewise.”

“There are a lot of good restaurants here, let’s stop by somewhere.”

Finding a reasonable restaurant in the same building, the three of them enter a restaurant.

A waiter in a simple but fashionable uniform shows them to their seats.

The restaurant was fairly lively with a sparse number of female customers.

Ria and Yunika ordered pasta, while Haruka ordered chicken steak and paella.

“By the way, what does the word “Italy” mean in Italian cuisine?”

Yunika did not look up the origin of the word with her Talisman, but asked the question just as a topic of conversation.

“There used to be a country called Italy on Europe, so doesn’t it mean that the food is from there?”

“You know a lot!”

Ria was surprisingly knowledgeable and answered the origin of the word easily.

As they chatted, the food arrived, and the three of them join hands and each put a hand on their meal.

?

After finishing their meal, the three left the building and came to a nearby shopping mall.

The stores had changed so much since their last visit that they would not be able to reach their destination without a guide.

“Is there anything you want to see?”

“Oh, let’s go to the jewelry store and pick out some earrings for the day, shall we?”

“If it’s all right with you, I’ll find the perfect earrings for you.

Yunika-san’s hair color is flashy, and I can find earrings that would look great.”

“Hey?, Haruka, pick one for me too.”

“Yes, yes.”

While avoiding Ria’s sweet voice, they headed for the piercing specialty store.

Yunika’s tension was obviously high when she came to the piercing specialty store.

It was the first time they had seen Yunika so excited, and Haruka and Ria couldn’t help but smile.

“Hey, Obi. Do you like this?”

“I like it.”

“How about this? Do you like it?”

“Yes. It looks good on you. It’s cute and beautiful.”

“Ehehe, yeah? Then, I’ll buy this one too.”

Yunika asked Haruka if he likes the earring, not if it looks good on her.

If Haruka answered that he liked it, Yunika would put it in the cart, so there were already seven items in the cart.

“Hey, Haruka. How about this one?”

“I think it looks great on you.”

Ria, who has golden hair as soft and fluffy as a sheep’s wool, looks good with flashy earrings.

Haruka picked one of his favorites and handed it to Ria.

“I think this one is also good, what do you think?”

“I’ll buy all of them if you pick the one you like.”

“You’re blind, aren’t you?”

“Because love is blind.”

“It’s not exactly the same thing…”

They stayed for thirty minutes, paid the bill and left the store.

“Oh, that’s right. I’ll leave this to Obi.”

“Eh???”

On the way home, Yunika gave the piercer she just bought to Haruka.

He stood there not understanding the meaning of her action.

“You’ll leave it to me?”

“When you have time, use it on me, okay?”

“What? You can do it yourself if you have a mirror.”

“I’m afraid to do it by myself, so I’ll leave it to Obi.”

“It doesn’t hurt. It’s easy to take care of”

“Shut it! Obi will do it! Well, I guess this is goodbye! Dismissed!”

After Yunika has made her one-sided speech, she turns on her heel and ran away, trying to hide her blushing face.

A little further away, she looked back.

“I had a good time today. See you later.”

“Byebye~”

Still in a daze, Haruka could only raise his hand to send Yunika off, while Ria sent her back with a smile and a small wave of her hand.

After Yunika was out of sight, the two stood there for a while.

“…. Do you think Yunika likes me a lot?”

“Pretty much… Fufufu…”

Ria grabbed Haruka’s arm and entwined it, as if to regain consciousness that had been stolen by Yunika.

“Hey, Haruka… Let’s go?”

“Yeah.”

They had told Yunika that they were breaking up for the day, but in fact they were not.

Haruka and Ria were planning to go to a hotel.

Ria felt a little guilty because she felt as if Yunika was an outcast, but she apologized inwardly, saying that she had no bad intentions and asked for her forgiveness.

The two walk arm in arm, leaning against each other in a friendly manner.

“Listen, Haruka… I don’t want you to pull away…”

“Yeah? What’s wrong?”

“Today I… I have a tail.”

“What do you mean?”

Ria leapt forward, uncrossing her arms.

After checking that there was no one around, she slowly lifted up her skirt.

When it was rolled up above her knees, a cat’s tail suddenly hung down between her legs.

“What’s that?”

Of course, Haruka knew half of the answer, but he couldn’t help but ask.

“You know, when I wear this…”

Ria took small steps to close the distance between them, and puts her mouth close to Haruka’s ear.

There was no need to keep her voice low because there was no one around, but she spun her words in a muffled voice.

“-It will tighten better…”

With her cheeks stained with shame, she hugged Haruka’s arms again.

Mindblown, Haruka came back to himself, puts his hands on Ria’s waist, and started to walk again.

They walked at a speed 20% faster than usual.
