NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System
chapter-73

Inside the room, the two girls finally calmed down a little and were drinking coffee in silence .

"As I expected—I still… love this coffee’s flavor the most . " Chiaki smiled gently at Haruka . "The taste of coffee that you personally brewed for me . "

"Is that so…" Haruka averted her gaze as her cheeks flushed slightly red .

‘Honestly, wasn’t this exactly just like before?’

But there was no helping it; even though she knew that she shouldn’t, these were her real feelings .

Although she’d tried her utmost to restrain herself and to forget… she couldn’t .

That alluringly sweet, dazzling, mesmerizing time she spent together with Chiaki .

It had been like a dream she couldn’t wake up from .

Haruka thought that she had gotten over Chiaki after breaking up with her for so long . For the first time, she discovered that she was still hung up on her .

She told herself she brought a male companion in order to prevent Chiaki from getting close to her again . But on closer inspection that was probably… her fear of facing her true inner self .

‘How terrible am I . . . ’

Like her classmate outside, Haruka Shimizu also fell into a state of self-loathing .

At this moment, Chiaki took her hand .

Chiaki gently caressed her hand before bringing it to her soft lips and licking gently . As her cute red tongue darted out, she eyed Haruka with a seductive expression .

Haruka’s face instantly turned bright red .

That gaze, these feelings… they’re so distressing… Her body trembled slightly, half in fear and half in anticipation .

Chiaki used well-practiced motions as she licked every inch of Haruka’s fingers, fingertips, back of her hand, and palm of her hand… Without missing a single spot, Chiaki licked her softly and gently, taking her time as if she was tasting an exquisitely fine meal .

As the blue-haired girl’s trembling became more and more obvious and her cheeks flamed crimson red, Chiaki gently pulled Haruka into her arms .

Haruka suddenly regained her senses .

"N… No…"

‘We’ve already broken up, we can’t…’

However, her resistance was so soft and helpless that it didn’t seem like she was resisting at all .

To Chiaki, Haruka seemed like she’d regained her feelings for Chiaki as her eyes were watery, her face flushed completely red, and her tiny mouth was slightly puckered open .

Chiaki brought her face close to Haruka’s, then leaned in and kissed her .

"Mmm… Ah…"

After their lips came into contact, they stuck together as they mashed lips .

Haruka felt like all her energy had been drained; she could only allow Chiaki to tightly hold on to her body and let Chiaki do whatever she wanted .

‘We can’t…’ She was shouting this in her heart, but her body had zero strength as she was enjoying this, unable to resist .

Time became a blur to them .

After losing track of time, Haruka finally felt herself being released .

Chiaki licked her lips in an alluring expression that seemed like she was saying "thanks for the meal . "

Chiaki licked her lips in an alluring expression that seemed like she was saying "thanks for the meal . "

"Wahh… Honestly!" Haruka summoned a sliver of energy and lightly hit Chiaki . "We can’t be like this… Your… your boyfriend, isn’t he waiting outside for you!?"

"Oh, do you care a lot about him?" Chiaki chuckled .

"This… this isn’t about whether or not I care about him! You’re the one who should be caring!" Afraid of having her true feelings found out, Haruka raised her voice in an attempt to cover them .

Chiaki wore a light smile as she gazed at Haruka’s face .

As long as she was able to open the door to Haruka’s heart, Haruka would become unexpectedly soft and express a rich variety of emotions . This was one of the traits which caused Chiaki to fall in love with her .

"Seigo… isn’t my boyfriend . " She told her the truth . "I actually haven’t known him for all that long, so we haven’t moved on to being boyfriend and girlfriend . "

"Oh… That means, as long as time passes, you’ll become…" Haruka furrowed her eyebrows slightly .

"I don’t know~" Chiaki shrugged . "If you ask me whether or not he’s suitable to become my boyfriend, I’ll say yes, and add a definitely in front of yes . Even though we’ve known each other for only a short time, he’s really an amazing as well as handsome guy . He’s basically like the main male idol lead in a television drama… No, even an idol actor wouldn’t move me as much as he does .

"If it wasn’t for your existence, I would definitely fall in love with him… Actually, I’ve already fallen for him a little, but one of my best friends fell in love with him first, and I don’t want to ruin our relationship . But human emotions are very difficult to control… So I don’t know what will happen in the future . "

"Wah…" Haruka puffed out her cheeks .

Chiaki really wanted to poke her cheeks like she would in the past, but she managed to restrain herself .

"That’s my story . How about you, Haruka?"

Haruka’s face stiffened slightly before she ended up sighing .

"Okay, I admit it as well, Tetsuo… is not my boyfriend; he’s actually my younger cousin . "

"I knew it; you would never fall in love with his type . " Chiaki smiled knowingly .

Haruka’s expression flickered .

Haruka’s expression flickered .

"Tetsuo… is a good guy . It’s just… maybe he’s a little too arrogant…"

"‘A little?’ Hah, fine, I teased him plenty anyways, so I’ll let it go with that," Chiaki said casually .

‘If that guy still keeps acting up, Seiji will definitely give him a good lesson . ’ She was certain of this .

‘Seiji Haruta can be quite fearsome if he truly gets angry, after all~’

At any rate, the two of them went outside quite a while ago, and who knows what they’d been up to . Chiaki suddenly wanted to see the arrogant Tetsuo Sasaki learning a well-deserved lesson from Seiji .

That’s right; she still bore a grudge towards him!

Even if she knew now that he was only a fake boyfriend, she still felt unhappy inside and wanted to see him suffer!

Seiji would surely comment about how illogical her grudge was, but this was just a part of her nature .

Actually, her taunts just earlier were already unreasonable, but Seiji resolutely stood by her side and helped her out in order to make her feel better .

Chiaki was inwardly delighted about this .

Just as Seiji said, he wasn’t exactly a "good person," nor did he believe in right and wrong . He simply helped those he wanted to help, protecting and taking care of his friends .

This made Chiaki extremely happy and instilled her with a feeling of safety .

Of course, if she went overboard Seiji would surely stop her . This would be a method of protecting her as well, otherwise the situation would get out of control, and she’d be the party who’d bear the brunt of the consequence .

At any rate, Seiji Haruta was simply a trustworthy and reliable person .

‘Honestly, you seem so cool; what will happen if I really fall in love with you?’ Chiaki mentally asked the person who was outside the door .

Seiji sneezed .

‘Why am I feeling a sudden chill?’ He rubbed his nose .

Seiji sneezed .

‘Why am I feeling a sudden chill?’ He rubbed his nose .

He didn’t know what was going on inside .

But Chiaki would surely be able to take care of things . He had confidence in her .

He was a bit bored just standing outside like a door guard, though .

With nothing to do, he glanced at the boy beside him, and just happened to notice Tetsuo looking towards him as well .

They looked at each other wordlessly for a few seconds before Tetsuo finally piped up .

"Seigo Harano… right?"

Seiji raised his eyebrow at the unexpected question .

"Yes, what is it?"

"Just earlier… Perhaps I was a bit rude . " An indescribable light flashed through Tetsuo’s eyes . "However, you and me, we’re different . "

‘Sigh… Arrogant people like him are so difficult to deal with . ’

"Yeah yeah, you’re an excellent student from Kaoki High School, you’re a genius, you’re an elite, you’ll definitely be successful in life, you’re at a completely different level from a commoner like me, you’re so great . " Seiji praised Tetsuo in a sarcastic tone that made it obvious it wasn’t praise at all .

Tetsuo furrowed his eyebrows .

He’d already calmed down, so it was easy for him to tell that Seiji didn’t mean his praise, but… It was difficult for him to say anything back .

If he did anything rude, it would hurt Haruka .

But there were some things he still needed to say .

"It’s good that you understand," he said lightly . "We… Compared with you guys, Haruka and I are vastly different, not only in the school we go to . "
