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

Chapter 197 - Non-acceptance

This was the infirmary.

Seiji was currently being hugged by the beautiful nurse in charge of the infirmary.

She was requesting for him to "console" her, and that he "didn't need to take responsibility."

Seiji felt that his head was on the verge of exploding! He had definitely seen plenty of scenes like this with nurses in both animes and with real actors and imagined various scenes involving hospitals, nurses, doctors... and other such gentlemanly content.

His sense of logic and reason almost collapsed from this.

But he managed to steady himself in the next moment.

He forcefully blocked off all the gentlemanly content from his brain and maintained his sense of reason!

Just as he was about to say something to Kaede, she giggled and released him.

"Just kidding," said the blonde-haired nurse in a casual tone. She took a step backwards and continued: "I heard that boys like this type of... lonely teacher or something similar, which was why I played a small joke on you." Her voice sounded rather flirtatious.

"How do you feel? Was your heart moved, Harano-kun?"

Seiji was rendered speechless by this.

Finally, after a few dozen seconds had elapsed, he sighed helplessly. "What an incredible joke, Juumonji-sensei."

"Oh my, are you angry? Are you disappointed that it's only a joke?"

"Of course not! It's just... if I really did believe you just now, and wanted to forcefully do something, how would you have reacted?" Seiji glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.

Kaede's smile remained unchanged.

"Harano-kun isn't that type of person at all, which was why I dared to make that type of joke." Her words were normal, but her tone seemed rather warm in a subtle way.

Seiji's lips twitched.

'Forget it—it was my own mistake to think of so many forbidden topics earlier.'

If he thought about it more carefully, her joke wasn't such a big deal.

He decided not to worry about it any longer. But now, he was less motivated than earlier to keep up the conversation with Kaede.

"Although I was joking, I was being truthful about the 'lonely' part," Kaede said, breaking the brief silence. "Whenever I'm bored, I hope that someone will come see me and chat with me... not an idiotic boy with strange underlying intentions, but a gentlemanly, excellent boy who truly cares about me."

She looked searchingly at Seiji's face while saying this.

Seiji was once again rendered speechless.

After that, only silence remained between them.

Kaede retracted her gaze and slowly sipped her tea.

Seiji also slowly sipped on his tea.

Both of them downed several cups of tea without saying a single word.

The blonde-haired nurse's expression seemed to grow increasingly melancholy during this silence.

Just as she was truly about to become disconsolate, Seiji spoke up.

"There are various stalls at the school festival, with interesting things being sold in each one."

His tone of voice and words were all calm and normal.
