The Pain of an Inferior: A Blistering Love Comedy That Begins After a Broken Heart - Chapter 99

Chapter 99 – Dear Maidens 2

“CUTTT!”

“What’s wrong?”

Ruriko was breathing hard as she charged straight to Haruka and Yuuku. The both of them slightly backed away at the sight of her.

“W-W-W-W-Why are you kissing her for?! You can’t do that!”

“Eh? But the script said that I should kiss the heroine.”

“That’s right, Ruriko-senpai. Haruka was just following the script.”

Though Yuuku was suddenly kissed by Haruka, the sight of her defending him made Ruriko feel irritated.

“No! No way! Kissing is off limits!”

“Why not?”

“It’s only pretend. Pretend kiss!”

“But why?”

“……”

Ruriko felt a headache coming from Yuuku’s complete lack of flexibility, she couldn’t complain any further.

“It’s my belief that a true actor should perform their all. I took the liberty of teaching Haruka the same thing.”

Haruka nodded his head in acknowledgement. Both Haruka and Yuuku’s expressions were serious.

Ruriko couldn’t speak back strongly since she was at a loss. She pleaded for Sayaka for help, but Sayaka just shook her head silently.

“I don’t really mind, so you seniors shouldn’t mind either.”

“Ugh…But… I can’t do kissing or hugging…”

“Don’t worry, Haruka will only do it with me.”

“I feel the same, though I need to ask for the other person’s consent first.”

Ruriko, who subconsciously thought that it would also happen to her, turned bright red and trembled.

Sayaka, who couldn’t take it anymore, stepped forward and regained control.

“Okay. Let’s try again with a different theme.”

Sayaka rolled the roulette and downloaded a new script.

“Pull yourself together, Ruriko.Look at this. Scripts with kissing scenes don’t come around often.”

“Ugh… Okeh.”

Sayaka and Ruriko were surprised at Yuuku’s ability.

Her ability to act was so great that the other three got dragged forcibly into her world of performance.

The quality of all the members’ performance improved, especially when Yuuku had the lead role.

The scene in which Haruka took her lips was also perfectly played. It was beautiful and memorable.

They guessed that it was true that actors shouldn’t be upset by a kiss or two.

As an aspiring actor, those words were painful to hear.

“Let’s get our heads out of the clouds and go on to the next play.”

“”Yes.””

Hearing her juniors’ cheerful reply, Ruriko nodded her head in satisfaction and rolled a new script.

?

[Hundreds of years. For hundreds of years I’ve been waiting for you..! I’ll never… never…let you go ever again!!]

Haruka embraced Ruriko with a tearful smile on his face. He was an extraordinary actor who had been trained by Yuuku. However, Ruriko didn’t have time to be impressed by his performance.

Haruka had been told beforehand that a light hug on the shoulder was fine, and Haruka did just that.

“AaaAaa…”

The kissing scene between Haruka and Yuuku that had just been taken place earlier came to her mind. Ruriko’s face instantly turned bright red and her words fell off from her mouth.

Sayaka saw this and sighed secretly.

?

[I’m sorry, Senpai. It really was all my fault. It’s because I wished to spend time alone with you.] (Haruka)

[Why…] (Sayaka)

[Can’t it be me, Senpai? I wanted to spend all my time in this world with you.]

Haruka approached Sayaka, taking her hand. He held Sayaka’s slender body close to his, their lips almost touching. They stared at each other for a wh-

“Hey, wait… you’re a bit too close..”

Sayaka pressed her hand against Haruka’s chest as she turned away from him with her cheeks stained.

?

“All I see here are love stories!”

Unable to perform well, Sayaka desperately rolled for new scripts only for it to be a romcom everytime.

“But senpai, you said that the theme this year will be a coming of age romantic comedy, right? Shouldn’t we get used to it while we still can?”

“You’ve got a point, but.. It’s hard to do it with Obi-kun.”

Ruriko said in a gloomy tone, to which Haruka teared up in response.

“That’s terrible, senpai. I’m taking it seriously.”

“With Owada-kun, I don’t have a problem with romance though…”

“If this goes on, it will be a problem that can affect the future. Let’s just stick with romance until we get used to it.”

“You’re right. That’s a good idea. Obi-kun, you’re with me.”

“At your service.”

“I’d like to play the heroine again soon… Ugh…”

While the A-10 Drama Club was in high spirits, Yuuku was mumbling to herself with a sad expression on her face.

The four of them made full use of the accelerated time rate inside the VR world and continued their practice with breaks in between.
