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

Section 154

In any case, she was quite mature, so she didn't need to be coaxed.

And although she looked angry with a flushed face, her favorability hadn't decreased. Instead, her corruption value had increased by 5 points, reaching 19.

This gain was enough to satisfy Asano Makoto.

In short, as a precaution, Asano Makoto started heading home as soon as he noticed the abnormality.

But to his surprise, Yamada Yuta was already drunk before he even got home.

This made him feel both fortunate and speechless.

After returning home, Asano Makoto silently watched Miyajima Eriko put a blanket on the drunk Yamada Yuta, pour him water, wash dishes, and wipe the table.

Although he noticed Eriko seemed to be saying something in Yamada Yuta's ear, he couldn't hear it clearly because the camera was positioned at the bedroom door.

However, he could roughly guess what it was.

Probably unable to overcome her guilt, she was preparing to confess...

Although he had guessed the reason for Eriko's abnormality and knew what she wanted to say, Asano Makoto wasn't too worried.

Yamada Yuta was already drunk and asleep, so he shouldn't have heard anything.

And judging from Eriko's previous behavior, she probably couldn't bring herself to say it anytime soon. She probably only mustered the courage to speak after drinking, but fortunately, Yamada Yuta was uncooperative and fell asleep before she could open her mouth.

He should go over tomorrow and try to persuade her...

Although he had a lot to say and many questions to ask, he didn't rush to Miyajima Eriko's place next door.

After all, in her mind, Kamino Yuna was still staying at his house. If he rashly went over and got caught lying, it wouldn't be good.

Although he could directly use 'I missed you, so I just sent her home' or other scumbag lines to coax Eriko and make her happy,

there was no need to do so. Eriko's favorability was already full, and no matter how much he coaxed her, it wouldn't increase.

Besides, Asano Makoto had also considered whether to take this opportunity to complete that task—the one about preventing Eriko from confessing to Yamada Yuta and performing the harmony of life with Eriko in front of Yamada Yuta.

However, in the end, he gave up on this plan.

Although Yamada Yuta was drunk, who knew when he would wake up?

And Eriko's condition was clearly not right, and Asano Makoto wasn't sure if doing so would trigger any consequences.

In addition, he had already thought of a plan to ensure the perfect completion of this task when it was first released, so he wasn't going to take this risk now.

After saying so much, in short, it's just one sentence: The time isn't right.

To put it even simpler: He chickened out.

So, seeing that the crisis was temporarily resolved, he took a shower and prepared to go to sleep.

After all, he had a two-on-one battle today, and the second one was like a madman, acting like she wanted to die together with him.

So, after a day of hard work, even with his strong physique, he was somewhat overwhelmed. After all, he didn't drink any stamina potions.

However, out of caution, he transferred the surveillance footage to his computer and asked Lilith to keep an eye on it for him at night. In any case, succubi were nocturnal creatures, so it wouldn't matter even if she didn't sleep at night.

Besides, this trash succubus had been doing nothing but staying at home watching anime and playing games since she appeared, and he had almost turned her into a useless person.

However, even though he thought it was a good idea, Lilith definitely wouldn't agree until she saw the benefits.

As soon as she heard him asking for her help, Lilith immediately started crying and complaining, saying that she had already saved up nearly 20,000 points of pure love and he wouldn't even give her a little bit, only giving her a stingy hundred points each day.

Hearing her words, Asano Makoto felt a little embarrassed and quickly promised that as long as she was willing to help tonight, he would directly help her level up tomorrow morning.

As if afraid that he would go back on his word, Lilith immediately nodded and revealed a triumphant smile.

It seemed that her memory and math weren't very good. She had forgotten that Asano Makoto had already given her pure love points eight times before.

So even if he directly leveled her up tomorrow, it would only cost an extra hundred points. This amount of pure love points was nothing to the currently rich Asano Makoto.

However, since she didn't notice this, then there was no problem.

After ensuring that all the problems had been dealt with, Asano Makoto went to sleep peacefully.

And when he woke up, it was already past two in the morning.

After being woken up by Lilith slapping his face a few times, he was still a little groggy at first, but when he saw the scene on the laptop screen that Lilith had moved in front of him, showing Yamada Yuta entering Miyajima Eriko's bedroom, he instantly woke up.

As mentioned before, after making friends, Asano Makoto and Miyajima Eriko's relationship had almost reached the point where they could talk about anything.

So, from Eriko's mouth, he also learned some relatively secret details, such as why these two were clearly a couple and seemed to have a close relationship, but still insisted on sleeping in separate rooms.

In fact, before renting a place, the two of them had a place to live.

When he first joined the company, Yamada Yuta's company arranged a dormitory for him.

However, after he brought Miyajima Eriko to Tokyo, it became inconvenient for the two of them to stay in the dormitory.

Because Yamada Yuta's dormitory was very small, with only a single bed, he directly gave the bed to Miyajima Eriko and slept on the floor himself.

And after living like this for a month, the company suddenly issued a notice saying that employees were strictly prohibited from bringing family members to live in the dormitory. In addition, Yamada Yuta originally felt that this couldn't continue and that Eriko was being wronged, so he finally decided to rent a place to live.

At that time, Miyajima Eriko also advised him, saying, 'Let's save more money first before considering renting a place. If it's because you don't want to sleep on the floor, then let's sleep together in the bed. It's okay if it's you, Yuta-kun.'

However, Yamada Yuta, who was both very traditional and a bit of a chauvinist, felt that this was disrespectful to Miyajima Eriko and that they should only sleep together after marriage.

So, he didn't listen to Miyajima Eriko and insisted on renting a place.

After renting a place, he still chose to sleep in separate rooms with Miyajima Eriko.

How should I put it? Anyway, Asano Makoto felt quite speechless when he heard about this.

However, he wouldn't say anything, because Yamada Yuta being like this was a good thing for him.

Therefore, Asano Makoto knew very well that such a traditional Yamada Yuta would generally not sneak into Miyajima Eriko's room.

But since he was doing so now, then there must be something wrong.

Because Asano Makoto had Lilith install the camera between the two bedrooms, although he couldn't see the innermost part of the room and the condition of the bed, he could still see the doorway and some of the area slightly inside.

And as he watched, Asano Makoto's expression became more and more serious, and even Lilith didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him at this moment.

Because from his perspective, Yamada Yuta walked into the bedroom and glanced around before turning around to leave.

But for some reason, he suddenly turned back and stood there blankly.

Asano Makoto didn't hear any sound from the camera footage, but Yamada Yuta's expression clearly looked like he had heard something.

So, it was very obvious that Eriko had accidentally said something in her sleep that he had heard, and it was probably something very serious.

Although he hadn't done anything yet, who knew if he would lose his mind and do something next?

So, without thinking, Asano Makoto got up directly, took the spare key to the apartment next door, and prepared to leave, without even putting on his shoes and shirt.

Chapter 210 Hurry up and say: Thank you, Asano-kun (3k)

Yamada Yuta was very angry, perhaps this was the first time this honest man had been so angry.

He couldn't believe it, and he couldn't understand why his girlfriend would betray him.

Was there something he wasn't doing well? Or had he done something wrong?

But he had been working so hard for her...

In order to be with her, and in order not to let her continue to stay in that dilapidated, poor countryside, he used his entire first month's salary to buy gifts and bring her here, hoping that she could feel the prosperity of the big city.

In order to make her feel comfortable here and not have to squeeze with him in the cramped employee dormitory all day, he ignored the monthly rent pressure and ran around to find the best house for her to live in.

In order to marry her, he worked overtime every day, trying to save money to buy a house in Tokyo.

Indeed, he might have neglected her a bit, but it was all for her!

Didn't he want to be with her?

Yes, of course he wanted to.

If he could, who would want to work so hard every day and have to endure the pressure of being fired?

If it wasn't for her, why would he work so hard? Why would he be so tired every day?

So, in the final analysis, it wasn't his problem at all.

Thinking of this, Yamada Yuta even had an impulse that he shouldn't have.

He not only wanted to wake up Miyajima Eriko and question her, but also wanted to inflict violence on her as punishment for betraying him.

The moment he realized this, Yamada Yuta was startled, and cold sweat even broke out on his forehead—he didn't understand why he would have such thoughts.

However, thanks to this, he managed to calm down and his thinking became clear again.

It was also at this time that he finally began to think about a question—was he misunderstanding Eriko?

That being said, he had only heard her call out 'Asano' in her dream, and he didn't even know who this so-called Asano was, yet he had arbitrarily concluded that she was cheating and felt that she had betrayed him.

And after all, would Asano-kun really be interested in Eriko?

Probably... not, right?

He had previously advised me not to always be busy with work and to spend more time with Eriko, and not just once.

If he really had feelings for Eriko, then he wouldn't have advised me like that, because it wouldn't do him any good.

In other words, Asano-kun should be fine, and the Asano that Eriko was talking about might not be him.

...No.

Asano should be Asano-kun.

Eriko doesn't have any friends here. The only person she knows who fits that name is Asano-kun.

So, in the final analysis, could it be that Eriko is...

Ah! I see!

Yamada Yuta suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a guess appeared in his mind.

It's probably right that 'Asano' is what Eriko uses to call Asano-kun.

And this name, to say nothing else, can at least represent that the relationship between the two of them is very close.

So, why is the relationship between the two of them so close?

Yamada Yuta couldn't help but think of his first argument with Miyajima Eriko.
