NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System

“Not at all.”

“Eh? How strange, you should have enjoyed being a hero…”

“You should already know about what happened, Kamitani-kun?” Seiji didn’t want to waste time chatting and went with the direct approach.

“Know about what?”

“Don’t pretend. I’m talking about Isamu Seima.”

“Oh, you’re talking about him.” Kamitani chuckled. “I didn’t expect that someone would Awaken their Sin Activation mask already. This was far faster than expected. Even though I’ve already expected Sin Activation, I was still surprised… you’re far more interesting than I even imagined, my bro Haruta.”

“What does it have to do with me?” Seiji furrowed his eyebrows.

“Don’t pretend to know nothing. You’ve caused it,” Kamitani stated in a meaningful tone.

Seiji was rendered speechless.

What exactly was going on?

“You believe that I’ve caused Isamu Seima’s Awakening?”

“I don’t believe it. It’s a fact.”

“…I didn’t do anything.”

“Stop pretending, my bro Haruta. I’ve already seen through you.”

“I really didn’t do anything at all.”

“Fine, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t want to admit it. We can just forget about it,” Kamitani said in a happy tone.

Seiji didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this.

He really didn’t do anything at all to Isamu. Isamu’s Awakening had nothing to do with him! The only part that was possibly related was what Seiji had told Isamu, but could those few words really help someone to Awaken?

No… It wasn’t only the words Seiji had told Isamu. Perhaps Kamitani also counted how Seiji had fought together with Isamu in the dream world!

After recalling what Kamitani said, Seiji felt like he realized what Kamitani meant. Seiji faintly understood the deeper meaning behind why Kamitani called him an “interesting existence”.

This was a major misunderstanding!

But… was it really just a misunderstanding?

“What would you like me to do, my bro Haruta?” Kamitani inquired.

Seiji returned to his senses and swiftly thought things over.

Kamitani’s “misunderstanding” regarding himself was something beneficial! Kamitani was the lawless type who wouldn’t care about any consequences. Apart from Yui, only this “misunderstanding” would possibly make Kamitani tread with caution.

So if Kamitani had a “misunderstanding” about Seiji being an “interesting existence”, what should Seiji do here to take advantage of it?

“I want you to guarantee Isamu Seima’s safety. Don’t perform any dangerous experiments on him,” Seiji said in a heavy tone.

“Will he really be able to mature if we leave him alone?”

“Of course he can’t be left completely alone. He still needs an appropriate amount of stimulation.”

“How about having him become another ‘hero?’ I can create an interesting scenario just for him.”

“If you want to play around, make sure not to go overboard.”

“Understood~ I shall show you the script when it’s ready, heehee…” Kamitani chuckled.

It would be impossible to have Kamitani leave Isamu completely alone. Seiji felt that it was wiser to protect Isamu through such a compromise.

And if Isamu was able to swiftly power up afterwards, Kamitani’s “misunderstanding” about Seiji would become even greater, meaning that Seiji would have even more influence over Kamitani.

But if Isamu didn’t swiftly power up… Seiji decided to simply wait and observe the situation.

The rain continued until late into the night.

Monsters appeared all over the city. Just about every monster caused people to die!

Yet, every time, a mysterious caped and helmeted individual appeared to defeat the monster, preventing even more serious injuries and death from occurring.

Some people spread hi-res videos taken of this individual, which raised some attention. But, such videos were soon deleted before most people noticed.

However, some sharp individuals still saved such videos before the deletion. These individuals spread the videos in their chat groups, small message forums, and so on.

Something else started spreading as well. The person who spread these videos gave a nickname to the mysterious caped individual: “Blackwing.”

As of now, the people who experienced monster attacks and knew at least that the monsters were real were currently afraid and anxious.

Such people no longer felt safe in this city. They didn’t trust the police to be able to handle the monster situation. But, they didn’t know whom they could believe in.

There was too much information on the internet to determine fake news from real news. People were tired of bad news about monsters popping up all over the place. People wanted good news that would make them feel reassured.

For example, news about a hero.

Not a hero from an anime or a movie. They wanted a real hero! They wanted a hero with supernatural powers that stepped up to protect everyone from the monsters since the police weren’t able to do so.

As for these videos about Blackwing, there was something noticeably different about some of the videos taken of him. That would be the high-def resolution of the videos.

Some of the videos taken of Blackwing were obviously cell phone videos that were shaky and unclear. However, there were many videos of Blackwing that were incredibly clear and steady. Everyone could see all the little details about the monster and the caped individual… it was quite evident that these videos had been filmed with professional standard video equipment.

Would such a video be real then? Fighting monsters while bringing a cameraman crew? This seemed more like a movie!

Most people who saw such high-res videos felt that these videos were faked. People thought that this was yet another new “movie advertisement” trying to do a viral marketing campaign.

However, some experts gave their opinion that there was nothing fake about the videos… Or, more accurately, they couldn’t find any evidence of special effects being used. Some people even went to the purported location of some of the monster fights. These people confirmed that it indeed looked like major fights had taken place at those locations!

This was indeed an intentionally created video. But, did that mean that the video had to be fake? Perhaps it was real, and that Blackwing individual intentionally brought cameramen to record his exploits to spread them on the internet.

Didn’t that mean he was incredibly strong, enough to even bring cameramen along for a fight against monsters?

In every single video, the monsters were “easily” dispatched by Blackwing. There wasn’t a single video in which Blackwing appeared to be under any pressure.

If these videos had been fake, why would the fighting scenes be so “simple” after spending so much money on realistic monsters and special effects? The fighting scenes should have been longer, with some cool fighting poses.

Some people thought that these videos were faked. These people mentioned how the other people seen in the videos acted as if these cameras didn’t exist at all. That seemed unrealistic, so the other people in the videos must have been hired extras!

But, some people also were of the opinion that if this video was real, it was possible that the cameraman following such a powerful individual would also be no ordinary person. Perhaps the cameraman had the ability to remain invisible and go undetected by ordinary people.

People on the internet started arguing about whether these videos depicting Blackwing’s monster fighting exploits were real or faked. And, these arguments caused the Blackwing videos to become more popular and spread even further. Blackwing’s name slowly became known within the city.

Seiji didn’t pay any attention to the “hero” videos that Kamitani sent him. He cared more about the information that Kamitani gave him as previously agreed upon.

Kamitani’s information was about Chiaki.

Chiaki Wakaba was actually a descendant of a priest family!

Priests obviously referred to those who worked with the divine, the servants of the gods.

Although Yin Yang Masters were the strongest type of spiritual ability user in today’s generation, priests had been far stronger than Yin Yang Masters in Sakura Island’s history!

Priests would obtain wondrous powers from the gods that they served. For an incredibly long period of time, priests were at the very top of Sakura Island’s society, ruling over all ordinary people as well as all other spiritual ability users.

This state continued all the way until seventy years ago.

As Seiji had learned when he’d first arrived in this dimension, the ancient civilization known as the Atlantis Empire had risen from the bottom of the ocean, and attempted to conquer the entire world!

Sakura Island had gotten involved in the world war as well. Various events happened due to the warfare. One major event was that the Yin Yang Master factions banded together and attacked the priests’ faction!

The result of that battle was that the Yin Yang Masters obtained a total victory, with the priests being completely defeated. Yin Yang Masters replaced priests as the top of society.

The priests and their families were cruelly killed off by the Yin Yang Masters. But, some priests still managed to survive and leave behind descendants.

Although a priest’s descendant wouldn’t appear any different from a normal human on the outside, a priest’s descendant would still have their god’s “favor”. The god’s favor would extend down the family line to all the descendants.
