NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System

- Chapter 81

Due to Hoshi's pleading, Seiji made an attempt at convincing the twins to change their ways.

Of course, he didn't know if he would succeed. At the very least, he had to try.

He could have ignored Hoshi's request, instead using the fury from the scene he'd witnessed to load and completely destroy the twins' lives!

But he would gain nothing other than temporary self-satisfaction, and he'd be ignoring his friend's feelings.

Seiji's anger stemmed from Hoshi, but he also held his anger back due to Hoshi.

He felt that Hoshi's gentleness was rather stupid, but this idiot was a friend of his! That was why he decided to respect Hoshi's opinion.

Seiji would respect Hoshi and follow his wishes, but as for whether or not he would be able to achieve what Hoshi wanted... that was another thing entirely. He could neither predict nor promise a suitable outcome.

Rion and Kotomi Amami were slightly shaken after being confronted so directly by Seigo Harano.

Yes, shaken.

They had indeed considered before what might happen to them in the future if they continued living like this.

They were intelligent, after all... Even idiots had hopes and dreams about their futures, so of course they would consider their futures carefully due to their intelligence. In fact their hopes were all the more vivid and realistic due to it.

Their futures... They had always considered their futures to be wonderful.

But was that really true?

Would they really never have to be punished for what they'd done!?

With their pride, they would have confidently replied in the negative.

But the tiny bit of objective reason which remained within them whispered otherwise deep in their hearts.

It was possible.

After all, it was impossible for them to control the whole world. There would always be events that were out of their control.

And that day... They didn't dare to nor wish to broach the subject; deep within themselves, they feared it more than anything. The day when they would have to pay the price for everything they'd done—a day completely out of their control!

The Sword of Damocles.

A sharp sword hanging over their heads which could fall at any moment.

Truthfully, they'd always been living in such fear.

Precisely because of this fear, they'd never done anything that would get them punished severely... Not because they cared about others, but out of self-protection.

"Change yourselves, before it's too late," Seiji calmly stated. "Destroy all your blackmail material, and stop doing underhanded activities. Sincerely repent, free everyone, and free yourselves."

Rion and Kotomi remained silent.

Their wills were shaking in the silence, but...

"You want to convince us simply by giving a speech?" one of the twins responded rudely without even addressing Seigo by name.

"You think far too little of us, Seigo Harano!"

This meant that they had finally dropped their act.

Even the twins themselves were unable to recall the last time they had faced someone so honestly and directly.

Seiji hadn't taken his eyes off them for a single second.
