NEET Received A Dating Sim System Part 1 (ch.1-200)

Chapter 140 - Beautiful Name

Seiji returned to the president's residence.

He was rather nervous at what he was about to do next.

It felt almost like he was about to confess to a girl he was secretly in love with...

No, no, that wasn't it! All he needed to do was inform Shika about what happened during the past two days! Since Natsuya let him know that Shika seemed to be curious about it, then all he had to do was casually bring it up during their conversation and explain things clearly to her.

After explaining things, he would tell her that if she wanted, they could be good friends... or something like that.

But upon further consideration, wasn't this... exactly like a confession?

No, it definitely wasn't! Although they were similar, this wasn't a confession!

'I merely awakened to becoming a sis-con! I like her younger form as a brother would, that's all!'

...But didn't this seem even worse than a normal love confession?

Seiji discovered this important fact.

Seiji received a huge impact.

Seiji prostrated himself on the ground.

"Just how should I say it, damn it!" He hammered the ground with his fists.

If he went and explained it like this, he felt that it was highly probable for him to be misconstrued as a simple pervert. He would be rejected while being looked down upon.

But he really didn't have any improper intentions. He was simply a pure sis-con.

'Hey, even sis-cons are considered perverts, aren't they!?'

"No, no! Even sis-cons are separated into pure sis-cons and dirty sis-cons! I'm pure!!"

"Pure... what?" A gentle female voice sounded out from behind him.

Seiji was shocked to his core!

He hurriedly got up from the floor and turned around to see the maid, Mai, tilting her head slightly.

The Smiling Executioner... whoops, Houjou-san!

"What are you doing, Haruta-san? I seem to have overheard you saying something strange," Mai said with a faint smile on her face.

Seeing such a smile on her face, Seiji recalled his earlier conversation with her as well as the legends he had just heard and almost broke out into a cold sweat.

"No... I didn't say anything! I was just checking to see if the floor was clean or not! Yeah, I inspected it and found that it was extraordinarily clean! This must be Houjou-san's doing! Houjou-san is incredible!!"

He attempted to justify his strange actions, but it was only after the words left his mouth did he realize how he idiotic he sounded.

Mai slowly stopped smiling.

"You can't meet my eyes, your face is all tense, and your words sound clearly unnatural. I bet you wouldn't even be able to fool an elementary schooler with this, Haruta-san."

"Er... indeed..." Seiji awkwardly scratched his face.

"Lying children aren't cute... If you don't want to say anything, then just do that. As a mere maid, I won't pry," Mai said lightly before turning around to leave.

"Wait... please wait a moment, Senpai!"

"Hm?" Mai's footsteps paused.

"Um... I want to ask how Shika is doing right now..."
