Madam, believe me, how can I be a minotaur?

Section 128

In reality, he also wanted to be gentler to Yuna Kamino, just like that day when he spent the whole day quietly with her, doing nothing.

But there was no way, Little Yuna, for the sake of completing the task smoothly, I'll have to trouble you one last time.

Author's Note: More to come.

Chapter 174: The Person Who Truly Has Feelings for You...

After much deliberation, Makoto Asano chose Eriko Miyajima and Yuna Kamino to complete this task.

Logically, his best choice should have been the Kamino mother and daughter.

After all, this task, unlike the previous one, didn't have requirements for levels of affection.

However, after thinking carefully, he discarded that option.

Because the essence of this task was to get close to other targets in front of a certain target, deliberately making her jealous, and then finding a way to appease her.

But what if the target didn't get jealous?

Although it wouldn't bring any punishment, it would mean the task couldn't be completed.

In that case, the Kamino mother and daughter wouldn't be suitable.

As a mother who deeply loves her daughter, Risa Kamino would probably not be jealous when she saw Yuna Kamino and Makoto Asano doing something.

It would be more believable that she would be shocked into a coma.

Reversing the two of them wouldn't work either; just figuring out how to win over Risa Kamino would be a major problem.

Yuuka Konno was even more out of the question and could be directly excluded from the options for this task.

So, the only viable options left were Eriko Miyajima and Yuna Kamino.

And when faced with the dilemma of deciding who to make jealous, Makoto Asano didn't hesitate at all.

After all, there was only one option.

Eriko Miyajima couldn't be chosen; her emotions were very unstable.

Asano still vividly remembered her yandere-like behavior back then.

You know, back then, Asano and she hadn't done anything beyond the boundaries of friendship.

If she realized the relationship between Asano and Yuna Kamino at this time, the problem would only become worse.

However, if Yuna Kamino were to take on this role, the situation would be much better.

Although it would inevitably make her sad while being jealous, she was at least not as extreme as Eriko.

Moreover, her 100 points of submission could directly eliminate the possibility of her self-destructing, and also significantly reduce the difficulty of appeasing her.

So, Little Yuna, I'll have to trouble you one more time; I'll compensate you in the future.

Thinking this, Makoto Asano made a promise in his heart.

After that, he began to wait somewhat boredly.

Perhaps because he was too tired from the day and night, Eriko Miyajima was slow to wake up.

From 2 PM to 6 PM, Asano waited for a full four hours.

However, he didn't feel bored during these four hours.

Because he was chatting with someone unexpected.

And it wasn't him actively seeking her out; instead, she came to him on her own.

Around 3 PM, Makoto Asano, who was feeling bored while waiting, suddenly received many messages.

He took out his phone with a bewildered expression and clicked on them with an even more bewildered expression.

What came into view was a beautiful selfie, showing a tall and slender figure.

Her gray hair was tied into a high ponytail full of sporty energy, she was wearing a black sports vest on her upper body, and matching yoga pants on her lower body, showing off her long and straight legs to the fullest.

This photo was really well taken; besides the figure in the photo being good-looking, the lighting and composition were also excellent.

It was obvious that the person who sent the message had put a lot of thought into taking this photo.

In addition to this photo, the sender, whom Asano had saved as "Yuuka Konno (Kana Ikeda)", also sent many text messages.

"I'm at the gym in the agency."

"I have to double my training this time, otherwise I'll be ruined if my figure goes out of shape."

"Sigh.jpg"

"No matter how I think about it, it's all your fault!"

"I'll punish you to make me fried chicken next time, or I won't forgive you!"

"Pouting.jpg"

"Are you there.jpg"

"Poke poke.jpg"

"..."

"..."

"Ah! The coach is calling me to train."

"The manager told her about me secretly eating, and she seems very angry..."

"Asano-kun, I won't say anymore for now, I'll chat later!"

"By the way, don't forget to reply to my message when you see it!"

Looking at the long string of messages that had already been sent and were still being sent, Makoto Asano couldn't help but be stunned.

However, soon, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and he began to reply to the messages on his phone one by one.

In fact, after leaving his house last time, Yuuka Konno had sent him many messages.

They were roughly things like "Met up with the manager", "Got in the car", "Arrived at the destination", "I'm going to take pictures tomorrow, I'm going to sleep, good night" and the like.

At the same time, she would also include many photos, some of herself and some of the places she had arrived at.

Moreover, her speaking style at that time was similar to now, chattering non-stop with one sentence after another.

After Asano replied to all the messages, about ten minutes passed.

Perhaps the first set of training had ended and she had entered a short break, Yuuka Konno sent a large pile of messages again.

This time Asano replied very quickly, and the two began to chat casually.

However, they hadn't chatted for a few minutes before the other side suddenly went silent, probably because she was pulled away to train again.

Then another ten minutes passed, Yuuka Konno came back to chat again, and disappeared again after a while.

This sporadic chat continued until 5:30, when she went to take a shower after training.

"That's it, Asano-kun, I'm going to take a shower, let's chat later tonight."

Looking at this sentence on the phone screen as the ending, Makoto Asano couldn't help but smile again.

Sure enough, those words about being busy and not having time to reply to messages were all fake.

Those people were simply not interested in you and didn't want to chat with you.

People who truly have feelings for you will still make time to reply to your messages, no matter how busy they are.

Just like now, even though she was busy and overwhelmed, Yuuka Konno still took advantage of her precious rest time to chat with Asano.

It's worth mentioning that every time Asano replied to a message or finished chatting, Yuuka Konno's inexplicably decreasing stability value would rise again.

Like this time, her stability value, which had dropped from 65 points to 59 points, returned to 62 points.

Although he enjoyed the chat, Asano inevitably started to feel bored again after Yuuka Konno went to take a shower.

And in this wait of four hours, besides Yuuka Konno's initiative and enthusiasm, there was nothing else to say.

It was nothing more than spacing out, watching videos, and secretly peeking at Eriko Miyajima's sleeping face to pass the time.

Yuuta Yamada, who was sleeping in the next bedroom, also woke up around six o'clock.

Although he had said before that he would be working overtime until tomorrow night before coming back, Asano was still a little worried.

So, in order to dispel the doubts in the other party's heart, he opened the door not long after Eriko Miyajima fell asleep.

The reason he did this was naturally to let Yuuta Yamada see him and Eriko Miyajima as soon as he came out of the bedroom, to know that nothing had happened between them, and then to go to work with complete peace of mind.

After all, one of the keys and difficulties of this task was that Yuuta Yamada couldn't come back tonight and tomorrow, at least not until the task was completed tomorrow noon.

He didn't know if this stupid method worked, but Yuuta Yamada did show a bright smile after seeing Asano.

He thanked him and apologized, and even said something about asking him to continue taking care of Eriko at night, which made Asano almost feel embarrassed.

Then, the other party spent ten minutes taking a shower and changing clothes, and then directly said goodbye to Asano and went to work overtime at the company.

It seemed that he wouldn't be back until tomorrow night.

Realizing this, Asano finally felt relieved, and then sat in his chair and continued to wait quietly.

Another hour passed, and at seven o'clock, Eriko Miyajima woke up leisurely.

Author's Note: Yesterday afternoon at six o'clock I was going to take a nap, I don't know if it was because I was too tired or what, I didn't expect to sleep until two o'clock in the morning.

Because I overslept, Shi Gui only updated one chapter yesterday, I'm really sorry.

I updated three chapters of 7000 words today, which is considered to have paid off what I owed yesterday.

But there will be no more updates today, I will start adding them tomorrow.

Shi Gui's schedule seems to have a big problem, I have to adjust it as soon as possible

(In order to adjust the schedule, I haven't slept since I woke up at two o'clock in the morning, I'll go to sleep in a while, I hope it works.

Oh, yes, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are Saturdays and Sundays, and the reviewers are not working.

So..."
