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

Section 148

After packing everything and paying the bill, he took Yuna Kamino home.

The Kamino residence wasn't far from the store, and despite the two of them deliberately walking slowly, they arrived at their destination in just five minutes.

Makoto Asano's original plan was to drop Yuna Kamino off and then go inside for a bit before heading home, hoping to subtly advance his progress in conquering Risa Kamino during that time.

Makoto Asano knew that Risa Kamino shouldn't be asleep yet, because before returning, Yuna Kamino had sent her a message saying she would be home around ten o'clock.

So, at least until Yuna Kamino returned home, there was a high probability that she wouldn't be asleep.

Moreover, Makoto Asano also believed that she, having already made a deal with him, wouldn't refuse to let him in.

However, plans couldn't keep up with changes.

Originally, Makoto Asano was still wondering how to find a topic to chat with Risa Kamino while Yuna Kamino was present.

But after Little Yuna took out the key and opened the door, he no longer had such worries.

In fact, upon seeing the messy living room that had been ransacked, and Risa Kamino, who was subconsciously looking up at them while righting a table with a frosty expression, he even revealed a rather unkind smile.

Chapter 202: Divorce (3k)

Makoto Asano moved swiftly, and before Yuna Kamino could react, he handed the snacks he was holding to her, then walked into the house, not even bothering to change his shoes.

His eager behavior directly stunned Yuna Kamino, who had been about to move forward.

Wait, Master, is she my mom or your mom?

Why do I feel like you're more anxious than I am?

Although she was puzzled, considering the current situation, Yuna Kamino didn't think too much about it.

In fact, she subconsciously felt that Makoto Asano's concern for her mother was based on his love for her, and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in her heart.

However, after seeing her mother's face, she didn't have time to think about these things and followed him inside.

On the other side, Makoto Asano had already arrived beside Risa Kamino, silently lifting the table that had fallen to the ground, and then began to silently tidy up the other things scattered on the floor.

During the process of doing these things, he didn't say a word, nor did he ask Risa Kamino "What happened here".

Because there was no need to ask, and he also knew very well that Risa Kamino definitely didn't want anyone to mention this matter at this time.

"Asa... Asano-kun? Why are you..."

After noticing that the people who opened the door were her daughter and Makoto Asano, the cold expression on Risa Kamino's face vanished, and a surprised expression couldn't help but appear on her slightly pale face.

She stood there somewhat helplessly, staring blankly at Makoto Asano, who was helping her lift up the tables and chairs.

Actually, she knew that the two of them were coming over, and also knew the approximate time they would arrive.

However, because some very unpleasant things had happened not long ago, she was so distraught that she even completely forgot that the two of them were coming back.

So, it wasn't until Yuna Kamino and Makoto Asano returned that she finally remembered this matter.

In fact, she originally thought that Yuna Kamino wouldn't be coming back tonight, so she was planning to continue staying at the convenience store and work a night shift.

But after receiving the message from Yuna Kamino, she hurriedly asked the store manager for leave and rushed home, only to see that the living room was once again a mess, as if it had been burgled.

At that time, the culprit who had done all this, Hiroki Kamino, hadn't left yet.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he walked out of the bedroom with a frustrated expression that he subconsciously revealed because he hadn't found any money.

Faced with him, who immediately looked excited and asked for money upon seeing her, Risa Kamino couldn't help but recall those words that Makoto Asano had said that night.

"He now owes a large sum of money, and it's a high-interest loan from the yakuza."

"I don't know what kind of person he was before, but look at him now, is there really any chance for him to turn back?".

"You should know very well that he's completely addicted to gambling now, and no matter how much you call out to him, he won't wake up, even if he loses everything, he won't come to his senses."

After seeing Hiroki Kamino's crazed expression and realizing that these words were all true, Risa Kamino suddenly thought of her daughter.

And the tragic future that would have a very high probability of happening if she continued to be deluded.

Instantly, the resentment that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time, but had rarely been expressed because of a trace of expectation for Hiroki Kamino, completely erupted.

"Hiroki-san, I don't have any money left, the 230,000 yen that you took last Sunday was my last savings."

She stared at Hiroki Kamino with wide eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "We don't have any money left at home either, have you forgotten? The valuable things in the house have already been sold by you and taken away for gambling, even the jewelry that my sister left behind was taken away by you last month."

Now that she thought about it, when he opened the box that she had personally locked after her sister's death, and took away all the valuable things inside, including her wedding ring, to exchange for money, he was already completely beyond saving.

But even though he was already like this, she was still foolishly continuing to believe in him.

In the end, she was finally awakened by Makoto-kun, who was an outsider.

Risa Kamino, oh Risa Kamino, you, ah, really are...

Thinking of this, and then looking at Hiroki Kamino, who seemed surprised that he would be rejected, the anger in Risa Kamino's heart suddenly dissipated.

At this moment, she only felt a little pathetic.

She felt both that Hiroki Kamino, who had lost himself, was pathetic, and that she herself, who had been blindly believing in him, was pathetic.

Once again, the face of Makoto Asano appeared in her mind, as well as the words he had said.

So, for her daughter... perhaps also for her own future, in just an instant, she made a decision in her heart, and slowly opened her mouth, word by word.

"Hiroki-san, I don't understand why you've become like this, you're clearly a very excellent person, you should also know very well what the end result is for people who gamble, but why are you unwilling to wake up?".

"Because I believed that you would repent, I have been avoiding it all along, and I really didn't want to say these words, but today, as the younger sister of Kayo-nee, and the 'mother' of Yuna, I feel that it's necessary to tell you: This is the last time I'm advising you, if you go gambling again..."

Speaking to this point, Risa Kamino bit her lip, and said with an incomparably firm tone: "Then at that time, Hiroki-san, I will divorce you and leave here with Yuna."

Perhaps because she still hoped that Hiroki Kamino could come to his senses, Risa Kamino still gave him one last chance, hoping to use the two things of divorce and taking away Yuna Kamino to force him to repent.

Risa Kamino's idea was actually not a problem.

After she finished speaking the last sentence, Hiroki Kamino, who had originally had an impatient expression, immediately froze in place.

He didn't expect that Risa Kamino, who had always shown herself to be very docile, and would try to earn money as long as he asked for it, and would at most only complain and advise a few words, would actually say such a thing at this moment.

However, at this moment, looking at Risa Kamino's face as cold as frost, and the extremely disappointed look in her eyes, what he was thinking in his heart was not the mistakes he had made or how to salvage the situation.

What arose in his heart was the same disappointment as Risa Kamino.

Yes, it was disappointment.

He felt disappointed in Risa Kamino, not understanding why she didn't understand his difficulties, and not understanding why she didn't believe that he could turn the tables through gambling.

Indeed, gambling is a game where nine out of ten lose, but he was the "one" left out of those "ten"!

Why couldn't she believe in him?

Indeed, Kayo's jewelry and the wedding ring were sold by him, but did she know how conflicted and heartbroken he was when he made this decision?

Why couldn't she understand him?

Indeed, the 200,000-plus yen that he had just taken last Sunday was lost by him on the same day, but he had lost it after earning more than six million!

That was six million! Thirty times the amount of 200,000! And he had only spent less than five minutes to earn so much money!

Why couldn't she see this point?

Indeed, although he eventually lost everything, that was only because he was unlucky and guessed the wrong size.

If he had won that time, this six million would have directly turned into sixty million! The debt could have been cleared directly!

Why couldn't she give him a little more time?

Moreover, he had done so many things, weren't they all for her and Yuna?

If it wasn't to let you live the life of rich people, would he have become like this?

But you're good, not thanking me and not understanding me is one thing, but you even want to snatch my daughter away from me?

Don't even think about it!

Divorce, huh?

Good!

Just wait! When I earn a lot of money, I'll divorce you immediately, don't regret it then!

Moreover, Yuna is my daughter, the treasure that Kayo left me!

No one can take her away! You, an outsider, can't do it even more!

This was Hiroki Kamino's true thought.

And the more he thought about it like this, the more he felt wronged, his expression became even more ferocious, and his face turned even redder.

That terrifying expression startled Risa Kamino, and she couldn't believe that he would become such a terrifying appearance.

Fortunately, Hiroki Kamino still maintained the last trace of rationality, he didn't do anything rough, and he didn't answer Risa Kamino's words about divorce.

Anyway, he wasn't very worried that he would be unilaterally divorced now.

After all, in Japan, only after both spouses have reached an agreement on issues such as divorce, child custody, and property division can they go to the relevant authorities to register for divorce.

So, he just turned pale and red for a while, and at the same time glared at Risa Kamino with hateful eyes, and then slammed the door and left without saying a word.

He had to hurry up and find a way to get some money, and then use this small amount of money to make big money, become a truly rich person, and then settle accounts with the woman who had disappointed him thoroughly.

On the other side, Risa Kamino waited until he left before kneeling on the floor with a pale face as if she had lost her soul.

At this moment, her heart was extremely complicated.

Among them was both fear and disappointment at Hiroki Kamino's performance just now, and also gratitude for the choice she had made just now.

In her opinion, if she had confessed to Hiroki Kamino any later, it would have been really too late.

After all, looking at his reaction, he really had no hope at all, just like Makoto-kun said.

Fortunately, Makoto-kun reminded her.

She was really grateful to Makoto-kun...

Thinking of this, Risa Kamino couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She continued to sit on the ground for a long time, and after the panicked heart finally calmed down, she slowly stood up with a somewhat numb expression, preparing to start cleaning the house as usual.

It was at this time that the sound of a key turning in the door came.

As for what happened later, there was nothing more to say.

Risa Kamino's face immediately turned extremely cold, thinking that Hiroki Kamino had returned.
