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

Chapter 195 - Old Acquaintance

"Please take me... to that place," the young girl requested shyly with a flushed face.

'Now that's really cute.'

Seiji inwardly praised her at this scene, while remaining calm on the surface.

"Okay, follow us."

He didn't say anything else to the girl as he led the way.

...

Seiji and Mayuzumi followed the signs and took the little girl to the booth which was set up to deal with lost children.

Coincidentally they saw a young green-haired man talking anxiously with the Morals and Discipline Committee members in charge here.

He was tall and slender with a handsome face. He was wearing a dark-colored jacket and long pants, and his smallish eyes were set in a anxious, sweat-covered face.

"Uncle!" the little girl shouted and ran towards him when she caught sight of his figure.

The green-haired man turned around upon hearing her and showed an expression of shocked delight.

"Reo!"

He kneeled as he hugged the little girl.

"You fool! Where did you run off to!? I was looking for you everywhere!!" His voice was filled with worry and complaint.

"Uncle..." "My attention was diverted for a second and you disappeared! I couldn't find you anywhere in the middle school section!! I had to come look for you in the high school section, and here you are!"

The man let go of her as he frowned and began to scold her in a severe tone. "Just how did you get over here!? If you got separated from me, then you should've waited where you were, or asked for help from nearby. Why did you come all the way to the high school section!?"

"I-I don't know..." The little girl averted her gaze and lowered her head when faced with such strict questions.

"It's dangerous to go so far away! I won't be able to find you!!" The green-haired man's voice was getting louder.

It was obvious to tell that he was extremely worried, which was the source of his anger.

"Excuse me, sir, let's calm down a little. It's easy to understand your feelings, but please don't get angry at such a place." Seiji walked over and gently tried to alleviate the situation.

"You're..." "I'm a student from this school, and I just happened to see your niece standing there by herself, so I took her to the lost child booth here," Seiji answered calmly. "Your niece is really smart and knows how to be on guard against strangers. Perhaps she was trying to avoid some strange people which was why she walked all the way over to the high school section from the middle school section."

"Is... that so?" The young man frowned as he looked towards the little girl again.

She slowly nodded.

"If that's the case, then you were in the right... No, wait, why did you follow him then?"

The man's gaze moved from the little girl to the boy that he didn't know.

'Because my charisma stat is outstanding...' Of course, he couldn't say that out loud.

"Because I'm wearing a school uniform." Seiji shrugged as he extended his palms. "Wearing this school uniform means that I'm a student from this school, plus I have a female companion, which makes me more trustworthy."

"Oh..." The green-haired man glanced at the woman standing beside Seiji.

His expression froze over when his eyes landed on Seiji's female companion.
