NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System

- Chapter 56

She could copy that.

If everything would end if she observed the result, then all she had to do was remain passive.

Although she wouldn't be able to improve her relationship with him if she couldn't confirm his identity, that didn't really matter. It was just an internet friendship to begin with; there was no need to make it any deeper.

'Yep, this will be fine.'

Cat-loving Flying Fish decided to continue raising this cat.

'Well, forget it. I won't think too much into it.'

Simultaneously, from across the screen, Seiji also made the same decision to give up on asking her name and identity after some hesitation.

Sometimes, leaving a bit of mystery would be more romantic.

The two of them made the exact same decision without even discussing it.

"My apologies. I'm so sorry for leaving you alone last night, beautiful Flying Fish... But now it's time for my singing performance. Milady, which song would you like to hear tonight?"

Seiji grinned widely as he talked to the computer screen.

...

The next day.

Kaho Miyamoto quietly got out of her bed, put on some clothes comfortable to exercise in, washed her face, and was about to go out for her morning jog.

However, she saw her older sister at the door.

Karen Miyamoto.

With sleek brown hair tied in a ponytail, a beautiful oval-shaped face, thin and dainty eyelashes, soft and gentle orange-colored eyes, a small birthmark that just happened to be at the corner of her right eye, and attractive luscious lips that were gently smiling, Karen Miyamoto was a beauty that embodied the ideal of a Yamato Nadeshiko.

But for the opposite gender, the first thing they would notice about her wasn't her serene beauty, but rather what was underneath her own workout clothes—the two bulging mounds that her clothing completely failed to conceal!

Her large breast size was just too obvious; even if all she did was stand there with her arms folded, it would still make her breasts stand out like a pair of ripe fruits!

"Good morning, Kaho."

Seeing her beautiful sister smile and wave towards her, Kaho's shoulders instantly drooped.

Kaho loved her older sister, but the thing she hated the most in the world was standing by her sister's side!

Not only was her older sister beautiful, Karen had a gentle yet resolute personality and was skilled at just about everything.

Karen was skilled at housework and helping their parents out at work. She was a good athlete, had high grades, and she was even adept at making friends; in conclusion, Karen Miyamoto was perfect in everything.

Kaho Miyamoto could only pale in comparison—even though she was actually decent at everything, she would only seem like an idiot when compared to her sister.

When they were still little, Kaho would always stick by her sister's side. However, thanks to constant comparisons with her sister, cruel reality attacked Kaho's heart, distancing her from her sister and changing her into a loner obsessed with otaku things. She stopped caring about her personal appearance and finally turned into a fat otaku girl.

During this process, her parents lectured her countless times about learning from her older sister, being as hard-working as her older sister, and living like her older sister... It was so annoying!!!

Kaho was aware that her parents were right, and she also knew that her sister didn't do anything wrong, but she was so annoyed at everything that she didn't want to listen or build a closer relationship with her sister.

Her parents' attempts at persuasion and her sister's gentle demeanor would only cause her to feel pain and frustration, even if she was clear that her family didn't do anything wrong, and it was her who was in the wrong.

But those were her feelings.

She shut herself in, just like a tiny animal living in a dark corner, and continued to eke out an existence by herself.

Until that day.

"Yes, you're rather fat and somewhat disgusting."

"But so what?"

"I'm already used to someone that's 100 times more disgusting than you are. I'm talking about myself."

"I didn't expect to become this handsome—I only intended to lose some weight."

"Please let it remain a secret for me."

"Because you're the same type as me."

That impossibly handsome boy had been reaching out to with his hand while smiling in the brilliant sunshine.

"Will you be my friend, Miyamoto-san?"

That moment was like a beautiful fantasy to her.

It had been just like a dream, but it was all real!

She was the only one who'd ever learned of the boy's secret.

Neither the bright and shiny pigtailed girl nor the charismatic tomboy that were always by his side knew this about him!

This was something that belonged only to her; it was her personal experience, a dreamlike... reality.

She wanted to hold onto that hand of his.

But she couldn't.

She felt like she'd contaminate him if she impulsively touched that boy who was shining so brightly after he'd finally managed to break free from his dark past following his great effort to change himself.

Even if he didn't really mind.

Especially because he didn't mind.

She wanted to change herself!

She wanted to hard at losing weight, learn how to put on makeup, buy some new clothes, and become prettier.

Change herself to the degree where he'd be rather surprised, before appearing in front of him, saying: "Look at me, I've become beautiful!"

He'd definitely laugh at her saying how silly she was, but he'd probably be mentally praising her at the same time.

That's when she'd finally be able to happily reach her hand out to him and say—"Please be friends with me!"

"Honestly, did you reject me the first time because you wanted to do this?"

He'd probably say that while laughing and taking her hand.

"You shocked me—I've lost to you, Miyamoto-san..."

With that fantasy in mind, and convinced that she could make it a reality, Kaho Miyamoto was currently working hard towards her goal.

In the past week, she'd been secretly exercising and decreasing her food intake appropriately.

The change was clearly noticeable. In just one week, she'd lost more weight than she expected, which gave her more confidence that she could succeed.

However... it was only natural that she'd be found out.

Kaho sighed; it was evident her older sister was intentionally waiting for her there.

"Good morning, Sister... What are you waiting here for?"
