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

Chapter 156 - Spells

Okubo had been seen through entirely and insulted by someone he viewed as nothing more than a piece of trashy scum.

Okubo never considered... no, he'd never even imagined that such a day would come for him.

The impact he received was so enormous that his mind went completely blank. He was unable to think about anything; all he could do was shiver uncontrollably at the chill he felt.

It was as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.

"Have you received so much of a shock that you can't even speak anymore?" the voice asked mockingly. "So that's your laughable limit. Okubo Yoshiaki, you know quite well that you're not even close to a match for Natsuya Yoruhana in an honest, fair match!"

"Two years ago, she didn't use any underhanded techniques and defeated you fair and square! Two years later, which is today, she's even stronger than before, so there's no way for you to defeat her directly, which is why you can only use sneaky underhanded tactics to try and catch her off guard."

"Honestly, your plot wasn't bad at all... but you still ended up failing," Seiji said calmly. "Your final chance has disappeared with your failed plot, but you haven't recognized this... Your twisted pride and arrogance have refused to allow you to admit this."

"But just because you refuse to admit it, reality won't change just for your sake. Reality will simply show you reality, no matter if you accept it or not."

"Okubo Yoshiaki... you were defeated once before by Natsuya Yoruhana. This time, you will be defeated by her again. You'll be defeated by her for eternity."

"You'll never catch up to her in terms of power for your entire life, nor will you ever understand that even when you die, it's because your so-called 'divine child' brain is basically now..."

Each and every sentence pierced into Okubo's dazed brain painfully.

It evoked relentless waves of agony, like glass shards lacerating the inside of his head.

As for whatever final adjective Seiji said, he didn't hear it clearly... he instinctively refused to hear it.

Seiji hung up on Okubo after that and put away his cell phone.

He then continued walking to Shika's room, knocked on the door, and entered after she said: "come in".

"Brother Seiji..." Shika blinked in surprise as she greeted him. "Your expression... is a little scary."

Seiji raised his eyebrows and smiled. "I just had a phone call with an annoying fellow."

"Oh..."

"Don't worry; it wasn't a big deal." Seiji walked closer and offered his arm to her. "Let's go eat breakfast together, Shika-chan."

"Okay," Shika answered happily, linking her arm with Seiji's.

The duo walked together towards the dining hall.

"Today's breakfast was personally made by me, you know."

"Eh..."

Seiji smiled. "Maybe it's not as good as Houjou-senpai's food, but it's more than edible."

Shika eyes sparkled as she looked at Seiji. "Whatever Brother Seiji cooks... will definitely be delicious," she said in a serious tone.

Seiji scratched his face awkwardly. "Hah... I feel embarrassed now."

"Well, at least I believe it is," Shika added with a smile.

'Objectively speaking, it's probably not that delicious.' That was left unsaid.
