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

Chapter 191 - Going Outside

Mayuzumi Amami finally received the phone call she had been waiting for.

She had been looking forward to the agreed upon date, but now that it was here, she was so nervous that she was trembling and unsure of herself.

Should she contact him of her own volition or wait for him to contact her?

Just this question gave her over an entire hour's worth of frustration. She called her cousin Rika Amami, but the only response she received from her cousin was "Just do whatever you like!"

"Are you a middle school girl that's going out to have fun with a boy for the first time to get frustrated over such a small matter!?" scolded her older cousin when she heard of her 'dilemma.' "By the way, even among middle school girls nowadays, it's really rare to find one as shy as you."

"Seiji Haruta is a good kid—just relax and be casual with him."

Rika told Mayuzumi and went on saying similar stuff before she hung up.

Mayuzumi could only collapse listlessly on her bed.

She honestly didn't have to courage to voluntarily call him first, so she chose to wait.

At noon, she received a call from his number.

"H-Haruta-kun..." she answered the call by speaking in a weak voice.

"Peach-sensei, it's me. Long time no see." A hearty male voice spoke up from the other end of the call. "Sorry that I took so long to contact you. I had to help out my class with their store earlier this morning, which is why I didn't have any free time until now."

"So how about you, Sensei? Do you have time to come over and have some fun?"

His words were so open and direct.

Just like the way he remained in her memories... this was only natural though, as only a few weeks had passed by.

Mayuzumi no longer felt as nervous when she recalled her previous meeting with him.

Just like Rika said, he was a trustworthy boy.

'I should just relax and be casual with him.'

"I-I'm free."

"That's great. Shall I wait for you at school or come by to pick you up?"

"Er..." Mayuzumi was unable to respond immediately.

'When was the last time I went outside by myself?'

Going outside by herself to an unfamiliar place? Just imagining it seemed really scary.

Let him come and pick her up? This also seemed a little...

A period of silence fell between them.

"I got it." The voice on her cell phone spoke up again. "I'll come over and pick you up, Sensei. What's your address?"

"Er... this... troublesome..."

"It's not troublesome at all—just tell me your address," he said in a steady tone.

In Mayuzumi's mind, Seiji's image instantly felt more reliable.

Mayuzumi blinked.

"Then... Sorry to trouble you." She told him her address.

"Okay, got it. I'll be there as soon as I can."

Just like that, he hung up the phone call.

Mayuzumi stared at her cell phone for a long time as she rubbed her chest and released her breath that she had been holding.
