Section 127
She had only closed her eyes for a moment when she suddenly felt an intense gaze, so fiery it felt like it was burning her skin.
And there was no need to guess who this gaze belonged to.
Realizing that Asano Makoto was staring at her sleeping face, Miyajima Erico's face turned completely red, her heart overflowing with embarrassment.
Overcome with shame, she instinctively pulled the blanket over her head.
After a few more seconds, she slowly pulled the blanket down a little, revealing only her eyes, and looked at Asano Makoto with a hint of resentment.
"Asano-kun, if you keep looking at me like that, I won't be able to sleep..."
Hearing this, Asano Makoto, who had been stunned by her inexplicable actions, couldn't help but laugh.
So cute.
He was becoming increasingly excited for tonight.
Looking at Miyajima Erico's incredibly shy appearance, he couldn't help but subconsciously think of his plan, and he couldn't suppress the agitation in his heart.
The reason he had been staring at Erico earlier was because he had been too engrossed in watching her and forgot to look away.
However, having made that mistake once, he naturally wouldn't make the same mistake again, and he wouldn't reveal his inner thoughts.
He gently patted Miyajima Erico's head and comforted her softly, "Alright, I won't stare at you this time, go to sleep, you really need to rest now."
"Okay..."
Miyajima Erico nodded gently.
But this time, she showed no intention of closing her eyes, and instead continued to stare at Asano Makoto.
Being stared at by her like this, without blinking, Asano Makoto couldn't help but be stunned, unable to understand why Erico was reacting this way.
But clearly, Erico had no intention of explaining it to him, and instead continued to stare at him, her eyes even becoming a little hazy.
Seeing this, Asano Makoto felt even more puzzled.
But at that moment, looking at Miyajima Erico's gaze that seemed to be drawing threads, a bold guess suddenly appeared in his mind.
If you think of it, then do it.
Asano Makoto, who had always adhered to this concept, leaned forward slightly and slowly brought his face closer to Miyajima Erico, who was lying on the bed.
And just as he had expected, as he approached, Miyajima Erico slowly closed her eyes.
The meaning of this was already obvious.
As naturally as water flowing into a canal, their lips met.
It wasn't a passionate and intense kiss, just a light touch, like lovers' fingertips brushing against each other's lips.
But even this simple, fleeting touch caused Miyajima Erico's face to turn completely red.
That vibrant color was more intense than ever before.
And her shy heart could no longer accept the gaze from the person she loved.
"G... Good afternoon! I'm going to sleep!"
After saying this quickly, she immediately turned her back to Asano Makoto and once again pulled the blanket over her head.
And this time, her blanket never came down again.
Compared to her, Asano Makoto seemed much more composed.
He just stared at Miyajima Erico's reaction for a moment, then nodded gently, "Okay, good afternoon, Erico, rest well."
But his slightly narrowed eyes and the corners of his mouth, which he couldn't suppress no matter how hard he tried, clearly showed that his heart was definitely not as calm as he appeared.
In fact, at this moment, he was already starting to think about how to complete the other task.
Chapter 173: Stage Task Three
Although Asano Makoto wanted to snatch Miyajima Erico away from Yamada Yuta and make her his own right now.
But he was well aware of the principle that meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and roads should be walked step by step.
And compared to the task of raising Miyajima Erico's betrayal value to 100 points, the more important task now was clearly another one.
That was the third stage of special training task that he unlocked yesterday after comforting Miyajima Erico in the car.
[Stage Task 3: Please have the host engage in a dual-personality fight with another capture target in front of any capture target, making the capture target jealous and comforting them, with a time limit of fifteen days.]
[Stage Task 3 Completion Reward: Master-level Acting (Note: Your acting skills are superb, and you are especially good at lying. You can tell any lie without any emotional fluctuation), a self-selected high-level prop (Note: Items priced below 40,000 Pure Love Points in the store), Pure Love Points +10,000, 100 million yen.]
This was the final stage of the task, and the goal was similar to what Asano Makoto had guessed.
And the rewards for this task were also very generous.
Although the value of the high-level prop had changed from above 50,000 Pure Love Points to below 40,000 Pure Love Points, which seemed like a loss, the way to obtain it had changed from random to self-selected.
In that case, the value of this reward was directly maximized.
After all, some props, although priced very high, were actually completely useless, and their actual effects didn't match their price at all.
And the price of the props changed from a lower limit of 50,000 to an upper limit of 40,000, although it seemed like a small reduction, there were actually many good and cheap items in this price range.
In addition to the reward of this high-level prop, the other rewards were also very good.
There was no need to say more about 10,000 Pure Love Points and 100 million yen. No one would嫌more money.
And this time, the master-level series of skills was not as useless as in the past. For someone who was skilled at lying, this skill was a perfect match.
After confirming the task information, Asano Makoto sat and waited for another ten minutes.
Finally, Erico fell asleep.
It took her ten minutes to fall asleep, most likely because she was thinking about a lot of messy things in her heart, which caused her to be unable to fall asleep for a long time.
However, because her body was too tired, she inevitably fell asleep in the end.
Perhaps feeling uncomfortable with the blanket over her head, she subconsciously pulled down the blanket after falling asleep, revealing her face again.
Listening to her steady breathing, Asano Makoto looked at Miyajima Erico's sleeping face for a while, then took out his phone and sent a message to Kan'no Yuna.
"Yuna."
Today was Saturday, and usually at this time, Kan'no Yuna would be writing diligently at her desk.
However, she would also put her phone next to her and set a special notification sound, so Asano Makoto naturally didn't have to worry about her not seeing his message.
As expected, just as Asano Makoto had expected.
After a while, Kan'no Yuna sent a reply.
"What."
Her tone was not very good.
However, Asano Makoto was not angry, but couldn't help but smile.
He knew why the little pet was acting like this.
Yesterday after school in the evening, Kan'no Yuna had sent him a message asking if he could go and find her.
However, at that time, Asano Makoto was busy taking Miyajima Erico to avoid the typhoon, and he only replied to her message after Miyajima Erico went to take a shower.
The answer was naturally a refusal.
After all, he had planned yesterday to take down Miyajima Erico in the evening, and he didn't know what the specific situation would be the next day.
So he refused Kan'no Yuna's invitation with the reasons "I have something to do and can't go" and "You also need to study hard."
Clearly, the little pet was still sulking about this matter.
Realizing this, Asano Makoto immediately laughed, and his fingers kept tapping on the screen: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you want to come to my house tomorrow."
This time the wait was a little long, but Kan'no Yuna finally replied: "What? You're not busy anymore? And you don't want me to study anymore?"
The little pet still seemed to be angry, and the irony in her words was a bit heavy.
Asano Makoto naturally wouldn't care about these small things.
And wouldn't being angry prove that the little pet cared about him?
So the smile on his face not only didn't diminish, but became even stronger.
However, at this time, he suddenly remembered his plan and subconsciously restrained his expression slightly.
His fingers kept tapping on the phone screen, but after editing the reply, he couldn't bring himself to click the send button.
After hesitating for a moment, he deleted "Because I miss you" from the edit box.
He always felt that it would be a bit cruel to deceive little Yuna by saying such words.
So after thinking for a while, he directly ignored the little pet's previous question and instead replied: "Then remember to come over tomorrow morning."
Then, he added: "Come by yourself, my car was damaged by hail last night and I can't pick you up, but you know where my house is anyway."
This time Kan'no Yuna replied quickly: "Hey! You haven't answered my question yet, and I haven't agreed to go to your place yet!"
"Okay, then that's it, tomorrow morning, don't forget."
"Why don't you listen to people! You're really... infuriating! You're always like this, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Seeing this sentence, Asano Makoto couldn't help but smile bitterly, then put his phone away.
To be honest, he didn't really want to do this. It wouldn't be impossible to chat normally, or even invite Kan'no Yuna over with ambiguous words.
But right now, this was indeed the most suitable way for him, which was to order the little pet to come over as the master.
At least in this way, she would come over with anger in her heart, and when she knew the truth, she wouldn't become much more upset.
At that time, she would be angry at herself, vent her anger on herself, and then after comforting her properly, her situation would probably be much better.
But if he used words like "I miss you" to deceive her and then let her realize his relationship with Miyajima Erico, it would be too cruel to her.
It was even possible that she would cry out because of the huge emotional gap.
Although this might not be something that Asano Makoto should say, after all, he had always treated the little pet quite rudely.
But he didn't really want to order little Yuna around as the master like he was doing now, but instead wanted to get along with her in an equal way.
