NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System - Chapter 780

Chapter 780

That individual was the café’s manager .

He was an apparently ordinary middle-aged man who had a slightly dark appearance and evident dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep .

In Riho’s mental minimap, his “existence rating” was so high that it reached a value of 2 . 3 points .

This so-called “existence rating” was a term that Riho coined herself . It was a measurement of how strongly each individual appeared on her mental minimap .

The existence rating would change depending on the individual and how far away that person was from her . The same person who was farther or closer to her would thus have lower or higher existence rating, respectively . And, different people who were the same distance from her would also have different existence rating .

When Isamu stood five meters away from Riho, that gave Isamu an existence rating of 1, which Riho used as a standard for people who were spiritual ability users or had something special about them . Meanwhile, this store manager’s existence rating was a whopping 2 . 3, far stronger than Isamu’s rating!

Meanwhile, all ordinary people that Riho sensed who likely had no special powers all had existence ratings of under 0 . 5 points .

Those who had existence ratings of over 0 . 5 points in her system typically had poor complexions and appeared to be in bad condition . However, there were also exceptions .

Very few people so far had exceeded 2 points in her mental minimap existence rating . This manager was the only one they’d found so far who remained in a fixed location due to his job .

That was why Riho and Isamu came here to this café to pay close attention to his condition .

“His existence rating is increasing right now,” Riho said as she watched the manager . “He’s now a 2 . 5… no, he’s now a 2 . 6, and the number is still increasing . ”

“It doesn’t seem like anything is changing about him…” Isamu was unable to tell any difference . As far as he could see, the manager appeared exactly the same as the first time Isamu had seen him .

“That would be for the best, but I highly doubt that’s the case,” Riho stated calmly .

“You think that he’s going to transform into a monster?”

“Yes . ”

“…Then should we talk to him about it?”

“What exactly would you say?”

“Ask him how he’s feeling… something like that . ”

“How would you react if a stranger suddenly asked you how you’re feeling?”

“I know that it would sound suspicious, but you’re already sensing that he might transform into a monster . I don’t think we should just sit by and watch that happen,” Isamu told Riho .

Riho fell silent for a moment .

“You’re right,” she agreed . “Go and ask him . ”

“You want me to go?”

‘Who else?’ The girl looked at Isamu with such an expression .

“I think that a beautiful girl like you would be better suited for asking such a question…” Isamu looked directly at her pretty face .

Riho blinked in surprise and blushed as she averted her gaze .

“You go . ” She then picked up her teacup and sipped on some tea, acting like she couldn’t be bothered .

Seeing her like this, Isamu looked at the manager again and worked up his courage to walk over .

But just at this exact moment, two customers, a man and a woman, walked into the café .

Both of them were wearing black jackets and black pants along with sunglasses . However, it didn’t seem like they were a couple wearing matching outfits, but rather that they were wearing uniforms .

The man was tall and stocky with short blonde hair . He was holding a black cell phone in his hand . The woman was tall and slender, with a figure like a model’s . Her scarlet hair was tied up in a ponytail .

After the two entered the café, the black-clad woman looked all around the café, while the black-clad man held up his cell phone . It seemed that he was currently filming .

Isamu couldn’t help but stop in his tracks when he saw these two black-clad individuals who were clearly behaving in an abnormal manner . Riho also noticed these two people .

A server greeted them, but the woman indicated that they didn’t need anything . At this moment, the black-clad man stopped and pointed with his cell phone facing the manager .

“He’s the one…” The black-clad man showed his cell phone screen to his companion .

He then put away his cell phone and slowly walked towards the manager .

The manager seemed to sense something as his expression became tense .

The black-clad woman put her hand inside her jacket, seeming like she was holding onto something . She had a vigilant expression .

The black-clad man walked over to the manager and showed him some type of identification . The black-clad man then said something to the manager .

The man spoke in a low voice, so Isamu couldn’t hear what he said . Isamu only saw that the manager’s expression began distorting .

“No… I didn’t do anything!!” The middle-aged store manager suddenly began to shout loudly .

He then backed away while clutching at his heart . His expression became even more distorted, with a complex expression that contained panic, fear, anger, and hatred . Blood-red runes also started appearing in his eyes…

“His existence rating is increasing rapidly,” Riho whispered to Isamu . “It’s already passed 3 . 5, and is still increasing…”

*Bam!* The black-clad man suddenly took a gun out from his jacket and directly shot the manager in the head!

This gunshot startled Isamu and Riho, as well as scaring everyone else in the café .

Blood spattered everywhere as the manager collapsed .

Since this all happened so suddenly, everyone remained quiet for a second… until a server broke the silence with her scream .

However, her scream was soon covered up by a far more frightening sound .

“Grack grack grack grack grack!!!!”

This sound came from the collapsed manager .

His body started glowing red and rapidly expanded . His clothes soon tore off as the body changed shape…

*Bam! Bam! Bam!* The black-clad man shot several more times in succession into the manager’s body . Every shot resulted in a small red mist explosion .

The black-clad woman also took out a gun and started shooting the manager .

Despite all this, the manager’s transformation still continued rapidly . His hands transformed into giant claws that grabbed at the two black-clad individuals!

These two were on guard and managed to dodge in time .

“Run away! Get away from here!” the black-clad woman shouted to Isamu and the café’s other customers as she loaded a new ammo clip into her gun .

Meanwhile, the monster started standing up .

“Let’s get out of here!” Riho pulled Isamu and led the way in escaping .

With someone leading, everyone else immediately followed after . Many people screamed in panic as they scurried out of the café .

The two black-clad individuals kept firing their guns, attracting the monster’s attention . This allowed everyone else to successfully escape .

“Let me go…” Out on the street, Isamu told Riho to let go of him .

“Since someone else is dealing with this, don’t think about going to fight,” Riho told him .

Right after she said that, there was a loud noise .

Isamu and Riho turned around, only to see the black-clad man had collapsed on the street . The café’s window had been shattered, so it was evident that the monster must have thrown him through the window!

The black-clad woman ran out of the café and called out her companion’s name . However, he didn’t respond .

The monster stepped out of the café .

This monster was dark red and its body resembled a tree . Its legs were like tree roots, and its claws were like distorted tree branches tangled together . The monster didn’t have a head, although it had bright red runes in a strange shape similar to a demon’s face . The monster kept emanating a faint red mist that gave everyone a powerful pressuring sensation .

This monster was stronger than the bird-head monster from the arcade! Isamu had such a feeling .

The humanoid tree monster walked over towards the two black-clad individuals . The black-clad woman kept shooting at the monster while swiftly retreating .

The tree monster then swiped with its right claw, sending out a mist shock wave that the black-clad woman was unable to dodge . She was hit in midair and twisted several times before crashing onto the ground while uttering sounds of pain .

There wasn’t much time for Isamu to think .

‘Activate! My power!’

Isamu’s hidden power rose up from deep within him as an owl mask appeared on his face . With a bright flash, red glasses appeared on his face as a black jacket suddenly materialized on him together with an exquisite revolver in his right hand .

He aimed at the tree monster and began firing!

“Class President Riho, you should leave first!”
