Anyway, remember to finish reading this weekend's update before 9:00 AM on Monday.
Chapter 175: The Sense of Contrast
Watching Miyajima Eriko slowly sit up from the bed, Asano Makoto asked with a smile, "Are you awake?"
"Yeah… um…"
Miyajima Eriko didn't answer, possibly because she had a headache from sleeping too long, and she couldn't help but cover her forehead with her hand.
After a while, when the headache eased slightly, she looked around with still somewhat dazed eyes, and asked intermittently, "Asano-kun… what time is it now? How long… have I been asleep?"
Asano Makoto glanced at his phone, then said with a smile, "It's seven o'clock, you've been asleep for about five hours."
"Only seven o'clock… wait, seven o'clock? Five hours!?"
Miyajima Eriko, who was still a little drowsy from just waking up, instantly sobered up and asked in a shocked voice, her tone full of disbelief.
Asano Makoto nodded casually and said, "That's right, about five hours—but it's not really that long, after all, you were so tired before, it's normal to sleep a little longer."
Miyajima Eriko's face instantly turned red, her heart filled with shame.
At the same time, she finally realized that Asano Makoto had been waiting for her to wake up for so long, and she said with some guilt, "Asano-kun, I'm sorry, I… I really didn't expect to oversleep, and made you wait for so long."
Asano Makoto smiled and shook his head, comforting her, "It's okay, I'm free anyway, and being able to watch Eriko sleeping is actually quite nice, not boring at all."
"Ugh~~~ Asano-kun——"
"Alright, there's no need to talk about it anymore."
Before Miyajima Eriko, her face red, could finish the words she blurted out to cover up her shyness, Asano Makoto directly picked up the water glass on the bedside table and handed it over with a smile.
"Here, have some water first, you must be very thirsty after sleeping for so long, right?"
"Asano-kun, you're so mean…"
Although she muttered a complaint in a low voice, Miyajima Eriko still obediently took the water glass with both hands and took a small sip.
Hmm, it's a little sweet.
I don't know what kind of drink it is, but it's quite delicious.
Just as she was thinking this and preparing to take another sip, she suddenly noticed something strange.
Or rather, a change in her body.
At this moment, she only felt extremely relaxed, her mind was exceptionally clear, the slight headache from sleeping for too long was gone, and the fatigue in her body was swept away.
Even… even the slight pain in a certain place that was still lingering from Asano Makoto's fierce attack, now had no uncomfortable feeling at all.
Miyajima Eriko was slightly stunned, and then suddenly remembered the sip of water she had just drunk.
At the same time, an incredible thought popped into her mind.
She suddenly raised her head to look at Asano Makoto, who had a smile on his face, and asked with some surprise, "Asano-kun, this glass of water…"
However, possibly because she also felt that this idea was a little strange, she only said half of it and then stopped.
Although he knew very well why she was acting like this, in order not to reveal the matter of the stamina potion, Asano Makoto still pretended to be confused and asked back, "Hmm? What's wrong, Eriko? Is there something wrong with this glass of water?"
When Miyajima Eriko was asleep, he suddenly had the whimsical idea to call out the system and ask if the stamina potion, a prop sold in the system store, could be used on others.
He thought, since those high-power vibrating eggs that ignore distance, glowing butt plugs with unlimited battery, etc., can be used on strategy targets like Miyajima Eriko, then there's no reason why stamina potions can't be used on them.
The fact was indeed so, the system's answer at the time was that as long as it was used for the mission, and not used for research or given to people unrelated to the mission, then it could be used on others.
Asano Makoto thought for a moment, and felt that using it on Miyajima Eriko should also be considered for the mission.
After all, in order to complete stage mission three, she would probably suffer tonight, and might even have to endure until Shenye Yuna came the next morning.
Even if it didn't last that long, she would still very likely be drilled tonight.
And when Shenye Yuna came the next morning, she would definitely be drilled.
As for the specific time and duration, it all depended on Asano Makoto's willpower.
But unfortunately, the thing Asano Makoto lacked the most was willpower.
If Miyajima Eriko, with whom he had already had a relationship, was sleeping next to him, then he definitely wouldn't be able to resist at all.
Anyway, in order to complete the mission, Miyajima Eriko would have to expend a lot of stamina in the next day and night, so a fully recovered body was naturally very important.
In that case, there was absolutely no problem in using the stamina potion on her.
So Asano Makoto made a decisive decision, directly spent 200 points of pure love value to buy a bottle of stamina potion, and then poured it into the glass of water she was drinking while Miyajima Eriko was asleep.
Anyway, this thing is colorless and odorless, except for a little sweetness, it's almost the same as ordinary plain water.
On the other side, Miyajima Eriko carefully thought for a while, and finally felt that her idea was too outrageous.
It should be because she rested enough today, so her body recovered, right…
Thinking this, she slowly shook her head and changed the subject, "It's nothing… Ah, that's right, Asano-kun, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
Seeing that Miyajima Eriko didn't mention the water anymore, Asano Makoto breathed a slight sigh of relief, then revealed a somewhat helpless smile and said, "Not yet, I was originally thinking of ordering takeout, but I didn't know when you would wake up, so I kept dragging it until now."
Speaking of this, Asano Makoto asked again, "Do you want to order now? It will probably be delivered in forty minutes."
Miyajima Eriko shook her head, then got out of bed while saying, "No need, Asano-kun, I'll do it now, it'll be ready soon!"
Hearing this, Asano Makoto showed a worried expression and asked, "But Eriko, your body…"
Miyajima Eriko had already gotten out of bed at this time.
After hearing Asano Makoto's words, she immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, Asano-kun, I've fully recovered, look!"
After saying this, she jumped up and down very lightly, and it seemed that she had indeed fully recovered.
However, this lively appearance of hers was very rare.
Even when she was on a date with her, when she was at her most excited, Asano Makoto had never seen her make similar lively movements.
It must be said that her usual dignified and virtuous appearance, suddenly jumping up and down like this, the impact brought by that sense of contrast was simply indescribable.
So for a while, Asano Makoto was actually a little stunned.
On the other side, after noticing his dazed expression, Miyajima Eriko was also slightly stunned.
Then, she immediately realized just how inappropriate her behavior had been.
Therefore, her face turned red with shame.
"As… Asano-kun, I'll go cook first! Wait in the room for a while!"
In order to cover up her shameful heart, after quickly saying these words, she hurriedly left the room.
Watching her departing back, Asano Makoto closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then he opened the system, spent another 200 points of pure love value to buy a bottle of stamina potion, and directly gulped it down.
It seems that he won't be able to sleep tonight.
Chapter 176: Daily Life
After completing Miyajima Eriko's main quest, Asano Makoto received a reward of 10,000 points of pure love value.
And after Miyajima Eriko's favorability reached its maximum value, he received another 1,000 points of complete capture reward.
Plus other miscellaneous rewards, such as the income brought by Konno Yuuka's quest reward stability value, his wallet can be considered completely bulging, and his pure love value balance is already approaching 20,000!
So now he doesn't care about spending these 200 points of pure love value, and more than that, what he is more worried about now is actually the bodies of himself and Miyajima Eriko.
He is still better, no matter what, his stamina value is also 8 points, it is impossible to collapse so easily.
But Miyajima Eriko is different, and as it seems now, she probably won't be able to sleep tonight, someone won't let her go to sleep so easily.
Thinking about some messy things in his head, Asano Makoto also got up and followed out.
He is not Yamada Yuuta, he will not let Miyajima Eriko be busy in the kitchen alone.
And he is now considered a chef, since he can help, then naturally he will.
Of course, he will also restrain himself a little.
After all, his previous impression in Miyajima Eriko's mind was that he couldn't cook at all, if his cooking skills suddenly became too good, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Walking out of the bedroom, seeing Miyajima Eriko already busy washing vegetables, he went directly into the kitchen and said with a smile, "Eriko, let me help you cut vegetables, what do you want to make?"
Miyajima Eriko was stunned, and the action of washing vegetables in her hand also stopped, she quickly shook her head and said, "No need, Asano-kun, you should go to the side to rest, it will be ready soon."
She still remembers clearly the last time Asano Makoto cut a big gash on his finger.
As for Asano Makoto's request to help again now, she only thought that the other party was still worried about her body, and wanted to be brave and come over to help.
Although she felt very happy in her heart for Asano Makoto's concern, her body has really recovered now, and there is no need to worry at all.
So after thinking about it simply, she directly stated the facts and refused seriously, "Asano-kun, you haven't eaten anything for so long, you must be very hungry, right?"
"And you can't cook, if you come over to help but get injured again, then you don't know when you will be able to fill your stomach."
Although this is a reprimanding word, it can be clearly felt that her concern is in it.
However, Asano Makoto did not listen to her, but walked to her side with a smile, while picking up the kitchen knife and said, "Don't worry, the past me with weak knife skills is already dead, the current me is a real knife master!"
Miyajima Eriko was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly spoke, while reaching out her hand to stop Asano Makoto from continuing.
However, Asano Makoto's movements were faster, before she could make a sound, Asano Makoto had already taken the washed potatoes from the side and started processing them.
In Miyajima Eriko's worried eyes, he directly used a kitchen knife to start peeling, and then very smoothly cut it into slices, and then cut it into shreds.
It must be said that his knife skills are indeed master-level now, and the potato shreds he cuts are almost the same thickness.
And Miyajima Eriko's expression gradually changed from worry to shock.
After cutting two potatoes, Asano Makoto slowly put away the knife, with a master demeanor between his gestures.
He turned his head to look at Miyajima Eriko and asked with a smile, "I accidentally cut my hand last time and embarrassed myself so much in front of you, I was determined to learn from the pain and spent time and effort to practice this knife skill, how is it? Not bad, right?"
When he said this, the expression on his face couldn't be suppressed, and his proud appearance was as if he was waiting for others to praise him.
And Miyajima Eriko was staring blankly at the neatly arranged potato shreds on the table, and then looked up at Asano Makoto somewhat stiffly.
