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

Chapter 193 - Concern

Mayuzumi answered her ringing cell phone.

"Hello, Saki?"

Speak of the devil! They were just talking about her when she called!

Well, these types of coincidences weren't all that uncommon.

"I'm with him right now... I'm fine, it's... it's going well. Wah... Sorry, it's actually not going that well."

"No, no, I'm fine! You don't have to come over—don't you still have work you're busy with?"

Judging from the half of the conversation he could hear, Editor Yoshizawa sounded extremely concerned for Mayuzumi.

Seiji recalled the figure of that icy female editor.

He felt that with her personality, she would definitely rush over if she knew what had happened.

Seiji was about to take another sip of his tea when his cell phone rang as well.

The caller ID showed that it was from Mika.

"Seiji, are you back at school?"

"No, I'm still outside. Some things happened while I was on my way over with Sensei," Seiji explained. "I'm currently at a coffee cafe together with her."

"Oh... How's Peach-sensei doing?" Mika's voice contained obvious concern for him.

"Her condition wasn't too good earlier," Seiji replied in a low voice, "but she's doing much better now. We're currently having tea and chatting."

"Are you guys coming back to school?"

"It depends on the situation. If Sensei wants, then we'll go. If she doesn't, then I won't force her."

"Oh..."

"Don't mind us—go ahead and have fun with Chiaki."

"Okay..." Mika's voice sounded a little lonely.

Their call ended there.

When Seiji looked across from him, he saw that Mayuzumi just happened to finish her call as well.

"Saki's really worried about our situation and wanted to rush over immediately. I stopped her from doing so." Mayuzumi smiled wryly at her friend's concern.

"Editor Yoshizawa's really concerned about Sensei."

"Yes, and I'm truly grateful to her... it's just that sometimes, I think she can be too much of a worrywart." Mayuzumi sighed. "This one time when I was having a phone call with her, my cell phone ran out of battery, causing the phone call to be cut."

"As a result, she took only five minutes to rush from the editing department to my home and check on my situation."

Five minutes!?

Seiji was astonished at this.

While he didn't know just how far away Thunderbolt Literature's editing department was from Sensei's home, five minutes... sounded too incredible!

Did Editor Yoshizawa fly? Did she actually have the ability to secretly transform in phone booths!?

There must be some mistake... or was it that Editor Yoshizawa was a mystical ability user?

'No, no, it isn't possible to meet someone with powers so easily! I should stop randomly guessing.'

"I was so shocked at that time. She was still panting with sweat pouring down her face, but after she confirmed that I was fine, she acted like her normal self."
