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

Section 153

There was no way she could carry Yamada Yuta back home alone, and since Kamino Yuna was staying over at Asano Makoto's place, she couldn't ask the neighbors for help either.

She quickly returned to the dining room and covered Yamada Yuta with a blanket.

Just as she finished doing this and was about to clean up the table and take a bath to end the day, she looked at Yamada Yuta's sleeping face and suddenly felt that it wouldn't do.

Immediately, a slightly conflicted expression appeared on her face.

After hesitating visibly for a moment, she finally made up her mind.

Let's just treat it as… a rehearsal for what's to come…

Perhaps influenced by the alcohol, Miyajima Eriko, who had become bolder, actually had such an outrageous idea and used this reason to convince herself.

She bit her lip, slowly leaned over, put her head close to Yamada Yuta's ear, and whispered in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry… Yuta… Asano-kun and I—"

Chapter 208: Makoto

The night deepened.

At two in the morning, Yamada Yuta, who had fallen asleep on the dining table, suddenly woke up with a start.

He woke up with a look of terror, constantly turning his head to look around, as if searching for something.

However, he didn't see Asano Makoto standing in his doorway with a smile, nor did he see Miyajima Eriko standing in front of Asano Makoto with a joyful expression.

All he saw was the dark living room after the lights were turned off, and he was sitting on the chair in front of the dining table.

Because the scene he saw was completely different from what he had seen a moment ago, he couldn't help but be stunned.

After about half a minute, when he finally came back to his senses, he realized that those outrageous scenes he had just seen were not real, but a dream.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, raising his arm to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Then, feeling thirsty from the alcohol, he picked up the cold water on the table and poured it directly into his mouth.

The water flowed down his throat, suppressing the feeling of irritability and depression in his heart, and completely restored his consciousness.

Looking at the water glass in his hand and the air-conditioned blanket covering his body, he immediately realized that his girlfriend had prepared this for him after he fell asleep.

As expected, it was a dream… Haha! I knew it!

Eriko is so considerate, how could she do something to betray me?

Thinking this, Yamada Yuta finally relaxed his hanging heart.

Just now, he had a very, very outrageous dream.

He dreamed that his girlfriend, Miyajima Eriko, no longer liked him and instead fell in love with Asano Makoto, the landlord who lived next door.

Moreover, these words were spoken to him personally by Miyajima Eriko in the dream.

Miyajima Eriko even said that she and Asano Makoto had done many things to betray him.

But he naturally wouldn't believe such words, until he saw the last scene of the dream that woke him up.

That day, he came home from work as usual, took out the key from his bag to open the door, but saw Asano Makoto standing in his doorway with a smile.

Before he could greet him, he saw his girlfriend, Miyajima Eriko, with a joyful expression, bending over and being constantly thrust upon by Asano Makoto.

Because the scene was too outrageous, Yamada Yuta was directly frightened awake.

Fortunately, all of this was just a dream, not real…

Yamada Yuta couldn't help but exhale again, then stood up from the seat and stretched.

Because he was covered in cold sweat, he now only felt a little sticky, so he immediately went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After entering the bathroom, looking at his clothes neatly placed aside and the hot water that had already been heated, Yamada Yuta immediately felt more relaxed.

Eriko is so considerate, it was indeed a dream…

Perhaps because of the influence of that dream, Yamada Yuta's spirit became a little sensitive.

Although he already knew it was just a dream, he still couldn't help but try to find ways to prove that the dream was false, as if he was comforting, or rather… deceiving himself.

Because he had to work overtime tomorrow, he had to hurry up and rest, so after quickly taking a shower, he prepared to return to the bedroom to sleep.

However, when he came to the door of his bedroom, he did not push the door open, but subconsciously stopped, then slowly turned around.

Asano Makoto's two apartments have very similar layouts. Except for the one he lives in, which is slightly larger, the master and guest bedrooms of both apartments have doors facing each other.

After turning around, looking at the door of Miyajima Eriko's bedroom in front of him, Yamada Yuta hesitated for a moment, but decided to push the door open and take a look.

That's not real, that's just a dream.

Eriko couldn't do anything to betray me, and I don't distrust Eriko.

I just… I just want to go in and see how Eriko is sleeping, I don't disbelieve her…

Although Yamada Yuta said so, it was obvious that he was still affected by the dream.

In short, after muttering this several times in his heart, he finally managed to convince himself, quietly pressed the doorknob, and walked in.

However, apart from the already sleeping Miyajima Eriko, he naturally couldn't find a second person on that bed.

Finally, he was completely relieved.

He, who had been greatly stimulated by the dream just now, couldn't help but feel a little happy after being relieved, and even hummed a whistle softly.

Since the doubts in his heart had disappeared, he prepared to leave, not disturbing Miyajima Eriko's sleep.

Moreover, he didn't want Miyajima Eriko to find out that he had quietly entered her room.

After all, since the beginning, the two of them had been sleeping in separate rooms at his strong request, and they had never entered each other's bedrooms without permission.

So this time he committed a small mistake.

But as long as it's not discovered, then the mistake doesn't count.

Thinking this in his heart, Yamada Yuta said "sorry" to Miyajima Eriko in his heart, and lightly said "Good night, Eriko", then turned around and prepared to leave the room to go back to sleep.

Just as he turned around, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind him.

Immediately afterward, Miyajima Eriko's questioning voice with a hint of confusion.

"…?"

In an instant, Yamada Yuta froze, his body unable to move as if it had stiffened.

However, driven by the power provided by the wildly beating heart, he slowly turned his body back and faced Miyajima Eriko again.

Miyajima Eriko was still lying peacefully on the bed asleep, as if she hadn't said the sentence just now.

But Yamada Yuta had indeed heard it, he heard it very clearly.

Makoto.

This was what Miyajima Eriko had just said.

And what these two words represent is not difficult to guess at all.

Especially for Yamada Yuta, who had just experienced that dream, the moment he heard these two words, he knew who Miyajima Eriko was calling out to.

How could this be?

Why?

At this moment, Yamada Yuta only felt disbelief and incomprehension.

He was unwilling to believe that his girlfriend had really betrayed him.

Indeed, this may just be an unconscious dream talk.

But what exactly happened to make his girlfriend call another man's name when she was half-asleep in the middle of the night?

And calling him so intimately.

You should know that Miyajima Eriko has always called him "Asano-kun" in front of him.

Intuition told him that this matter was definitely not as simple as an unconscious dream talk.

His girlfriend, Miyajima Eriko.

And the landlord who lived next door to him, Asano Makoto.

Something must have happened between them.

Chapter 209: Something's Wrong (3k)

Asano Makoto sat on the bed without saying a word, his eyes staring fixedly at the monitoring screen coming from the laptop screen in front of him.

Perhaps because the bedroom was dark without any lights on, his expressionless face looked a little scary at the moment.

The heavy atmosphere even made the always bold Lilith shrink aside in fear, holding her breath, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Earlier, when he was at Kamino Yuna's house, Asano Makoto noticed Miyajima Eriko's strangeness through the upgraded camera that directly transmitted the images to his mind.

It could be clearly seen from the picture that she seemed to want to say something while sitting at the dining table, but she didn't dare to open her mouth for some reason.

Although he didn't know what she wanted to say, intuition told Asano Makoto that this matter probably wouldn't be good for him.

So at that time, he didn't have the leisure to take care of the infuriated Kamino Risa in front of him, but directly sank his consciousness into the picture in his mind.

And when he saw Miyajima Eriko suddenly taking the initiative to ask for a drink, he immediately found an excuse to say goodbye to Kamino Risa, and then quickly rushed home.

Since becoming friends with Eriko, his relationship with her has become much closer, and they have also talked about many topics that they had never talked about before.

Therefore, he knew that only Yamada Yuta would suggest drinking at Eriko's house, although she herself would accompany him for a little drink, she would never take the initiative to ask for a drink.

But today she did, and it was at a time when he had just made contact with her, which meant that there must be a problem inside.

So Asano Makoto didn't have time to worry about other things, but went straight home.

He didn't even say hello to Kamino Yuna, but just sent her a message on the way back to tell her.

Although it was a bit too much for her to do so, Asano Makoto believed that she would understand him.

As for Kamino Risa.

If there was enough time, it would naturally be better to coax her and brush up some goodwill, but the biggest problem now is that there is no time.

Then there's nothing he can do, anyway, there's nothing wrong with her.
