The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 96

Chapter 96 – Bottomless Trap Hole

The classroom, which had been pretty hectic, came back to normal as the week went by.

Akito, who had gotten rid of Haruka, with whom he had a history with, was more confident than usual, and was more aggressive than ever in his interactions with Shinku.

“Hey, Shinku… You haven’t been with me lately. Are you sure you don’t have any free days?

“No. The summer festival events are overlapping, so I’m busy for the time being, desu wa.”

“You VR gamers are always like that. You have to go outside for exercise once in a while or the King will get mad at you.”

“I’m always in top condition with the help of my management app, so Akito doesn’t have to tell me.”

[Ah! Reika dyed her hair!]

Mika’s voice echoes throughout the classroom. Everyone followed her gaze to see what was going on.

“Ahaha…”

Reika managed to put on a smile even though she felt nervousness all over her body because she got the attention of the whole class.

“Makeover, huh? You look great, Reika.”

Shun, who was right next to her, was the first one to praise Reika with a smile on his face.

“She really is! So pretty!.”

Mika ran over the them excitedly.

“Thank you,” she responded with a familiar, affectionate smile.

Reika breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would be all right now that Shun had praised her.

Reika, who seems to be easily targeted by other girls, was always conscious of the popular boys’ approval so that she can hide behind them.

Suddenly, she remembered about Haruka.

?Oh, I see… I don’t need the other boys to be a wall for me now that I have Obi-kun…)

If something happens, Haruka will protect her.

The class will probably fall into chaos again, and Reika herself may not be able to continue to be in a safe position as before, but to her it seemed to be more preferable compared to the days when she’s sucking up to everyone.

“I liked Reika’s black hair, but I like this color too.”

Shun, who came to her side, casually lifted a lock of Reika’s hair.

As soon as she realized what Shun did, a feeling of disgust crawled across her skin.

Reika backed away reflexively, then reasonably pretended to be surprised and moved away from him.

Shun, who assumed that she was embarrassed, looked at Reika with a gentle and teasing smile.

“Don’t touch a girl’s hair so casually, Shun-kun.”

“What, are you jealous, Miyako? I’m sorry, both of you.”

Laughing lightly, Shun closes the distance between them. He then brought up the topic of hair dyeing.

Reika didn’t miss Miyako’s expression like a Noh mask for a moment, but she doesn’t point it out.

Mika was curious about Reika’s makeover, both her and Shun were having a nice conversation about it.

At the end of the classroom, Akito continues to enjoy talking to Shinku despite being treated lightly. Shinku was not interested in talking to him, but she reluctantly indulged him nonetheless.

Reika, Miyako, Mika and Shun were engaging in a lively discussion with a cheerful atmosphere.

At the window, there was another pair.

Rui was worried about Yunika’s strange behavior.

“Yunika, are you not feeling well? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I’m perfectly healthy.”

“I see… You’ve been acting strange. I’m worried about you.”

“I really am fine. Thank you.”

Yunika shunned Rui out with a curt atittude without making eye contact with him, turning her gaze out the window.

It was nothing more than a sign that she was not interested in further conversation with him.

The only thing on her mind was Haruka. Yunika didn’t want to devote her brain resources to anything else.

As Yunika gazed blankly at the sky, the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly changed.

Yunika’s eyes widen as she tried to figure out what was going on.

Haruka and Ria came into the classroom together.

They had separated at the entrance and were on their way to their respective seats.

On the way to his seat, Haruka’s eyes met with Yunika’s, he turned up the corner of his mouth a little more happily than usual.

“Good morning, Yunika-san.”

“…. Good morning.”

They greeted each other, Yunika was still in a daze.

The classroom was silent.

It was because a student who had made a big mistake and was not expected to show his face again had come in with a nonchalant look on his face.

Shun, Akito, Rui, and the other classmates who were not happy to see him were all speechless.

Knowing the truth, Hibiki kept her mouth shut and looked down alone.

Akito came back to his senses and stood up quickly, heading for Haruka.

“B?a?s?t?a?r?d?, how dare you show your face here!”

Akito glared at Haruka, as he approached him in a low voice.

Most men would be intimidated by that, but unfortunately for him it did not work on Haruka.

“Why? Isn’t it fine?”

“Of course it’s not! The whole class knows what you did!”

“I apologized to Claudia-san and she forgave me. See, I didn’t get expelled because of that.”

Haruka calmly and aloofly rebuked Akito.

“Akito. The matter has been settled. You may not agree with me, but please put your differences behind you.”

“But…”

If Shinku had shown her dislike for Haruka, Akito could’ve executed him immediately with a good reason, but she was not willing to do so.

Akito stepped back and glared at Haruka’s hateful smile.

A man with trash status, a scum who befriended a bottom rank E citizen, a man who tried to make a pass on a woman who he is not worthy of. He ended up stealing her lips without permission. Just remembering that made Akito boil in anger.

“Akito.”

Shinku called his name with the intention of restraining him.

Akito cluck his tongue and glared at Haruka.

Unable to contain his rage, Akito spun on his heel, stomped back to his seat and sat down violently in his chair.

Akito’s expression was clearly unconvinced, but he seemed to have managed to hold it in for the time being.

Shinku lets out a sigh of relief as she gazes at Haruka.

When their eyes met, Haruka waved his hand and smiled at her, he turned away after doing so.

Shinku stared at Haruka’s back with a resentful expression on her face.

It was about time for Haruka to go through a saliva withdrawal.

She had been waiting for Haruka’s call throughout the weekend, but in the end she didn’t get one.

The only thing that came was an unimportant report about Reika dyeing her hair.

If they had met on their day off, they could’ve spent the whole day together, but Haruka didn’t contact her.

Shinku felt frustrated, sad, and angry.

She felt intense emotions that she had never felt before, they kept swirling inside her and wouldn’t go away.

Shinku comforted herself vainly by watching Haruka and Tsuyuri’s video.

She was sure that Haruka would ask for her today.

Her heart swelled with anticipation, while her lower abdomen burning hot.

(Haruka-san, hurry up! We are lovers, aren’t we? I have allowed the existence of lovers other than me, so you better satisfy me properly.)

It would’ve been easier for her if she told him, but it was impossible for Shinku to do so because of her shyness.

?

1/1E7Ireina, accompanied by QLa9TaLKuurakutaru and LCEErushii were engaging in conversation with them on an unpopulated flight of stairs, presenting several books.

“Look at this, QLa9TaL, LCE.

According to this book, a fat, greasy old man or a blond, frivolous-looking man are good at sex.

Since fat and greasy old men are only found in Eugeia and they are not good for sex, a good candidate for sex would be a delinquent like Obi Haruka who’s in QLa9TaL’s class.

I’ve seen him screwing a girl before, and he looked really good at it.”

1/1E7 shook her white hair as she said it proudly. Strictly speaking, 1/1E7 saw Haruka kissing Sumireko, but it was true that she had the impression that Haruka was better at it than the other men she had seen so far.

“I’ve told you many times, I’m not interested in sex.”

“1/1E7. I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring offensive books like this due to the public order and morals of the school.

I am also against having sex with primitive people. It’s terrible to think of having sexual intercourse with them even though we are currently residing in a primitive body.”

Their reactions to 1/1E7’s impassioned speech were not remarkable.

“You both have that saying ‘when in Rome, do as the Romans do’ installed in your brains, don’t you?

Aren’t you interested in what would be so pleasant that 44EYoshie, who’s such a cool-headed and brilliant woman, would live down here permanently?”

“Aneue is a pathetic woman who has failed to adapt to this world and has turned into a pig. Don’t follow her example.”

“Well, I’ll have sex with him no matter what you two say.”

“Do whatever you want, but not with that guy. I don’t know what’s going on with him, but he’s causing some trouble in our class. His status is terrible, and he even incurred penalty points.”

“Sigh. Looks like QLa9TaL has a long way to go. That’s why you can’t beat us even once because you’re so narrow-minded.”

1/1E7 cowered her shoulders in exaggerated way, QLa9TaL saw this and a blue streak appeared on her forehead. The veins that appeared on her forehead stood out because of her fair skin.

“I’ve read a lot of erotic books, and I’ve found out that problematic men are better at sex.”

With her flat chest puffed up, 1/1E7 proclaimed with a proud look on her face.
