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

Section 168

But some things will not change.

For example, his determination over the past few days to improve his relationship with Eriko and rebuild their bond.

After all, as a couple, they are indeed somewhat distant now.

Perhaps in this process, Asano Makoto's presence has accelerated the speed of their estrangement somewhat.

But Yamada Yuta is actually very clear in his heart that even without the influence of an outsider like Asano Makoto, they would probably still have reached this point, it's just a matter of time.

So in the end, maybe even for this matter, he should thank Asano-kun.

If it weren't for him, he would probably still be as foolish as before, not understanding Eriko's feelings, and eventually drifting further and further apart, even parting ways.

Once again, Yamada Yuta couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling that he and Eriko owed Asano Makoto more and more.

And besides this matter, he also clearly understood the root cause of the gap between himself and Miyajima Eriko.

That is, in the past period of time, he only cared about work and neglected his family, lacking concern for Eriko.

Since he caused the problem, he naturally had to find a way to solve it.

As Miyajima Eriko's boyfriend, as Miyajima Eriko's future husband, he must do everything in his power to save this relationship.

So, after carefully considering his words, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Eriko, let's go out and play for a while next month when I get my salary."

"Do you remember the place we said we must go to after we get married when we were in high school? It's the place where you can receive the blessings of fairies and allow those who make vows together to spend the rest of their lives together."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the things they experienced when they met, knew each other, and fell in love in high school, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Then, without waiting for Miyajima Eriko to ask, he whispered to himself, "Let's not wait until after we get married, let's go to that hot spring hotel together after a while."

Chapter 227: Hot Spring Hotel

During Yamada Yuta's words, Asano Makoto, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't help but frown.

He didn't actually know what Yamada Yuta was talking about when he mentioned the hot spring hotel.

However, if the other party used memories to win back Eriko, he was still inevitably worried that Eriko would waver.

Although even without him now, after experiencing so many things, these two definitely wouldn't be able to be together.

But he still hoped that Yamada Yuta could leave more cleanly at that time, otherwise Eriko would probably be even more uncomfortable when the two of them really separated.

And when she heard Yamada Yuta mention the hotel, Miyajima Eriko was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered those words they said a long time ago.

When she was in high school, she once saw an introduction in a magazine about a certain hot spring hotel located on Izu Oshima Island.

The magazine said that there was a legend in the local area where the hot spring hotel was located, that those who made vows of love in the hotel would receive the blessings of fairies and be able to spend the rest of their lives with the person they made the vows with.

Because of this legend, many young couples wanted to go there, and Miyajima Eriko was naturally no exception at that time.

However, also because of this legend, the accommodation fee there was very expensive.

And the two of them were just high school students, so Yamada Yuta had to personally tell Miyajima Eriko a cruel fact: they couldn't afford the accommodation fee for that hotel, and even the travel expenses were barely enough.

Yamada Yuta still remembers how disappointed Eriko's eyes were when he said these words himself.

But she still smiled and said it didn't matter, they could go there when they had money in the future.

Hearing this, Yamada Yuta also repeatedly assured her that he would take her there after he started working and saved money.

However, although Yamada Yuta has already started working, he has only recently joined the company, and has neither much savings nor free time. Even if he has a holiday, he only wants to stay at home and rest.

Because he never mentioned it, Miyajima Eriko had almost forgotten this promise, and because she was very sensible and saw that Yamada Yuta was working hard, she wouldn't take the initiative to mention it, so the two of them never went.

Who would have thought that he would mention this at this time.

In Yamada Yuta's view, this should be able to win back Miyajima Eriko's heart.

Maybe when he mentioned this and decided to fulfill the past agreement, Miyajima Eriko was already very moved, didn't you see that she was already stunned now?

And staying in a different place for a few days can also keep them a little further away from Asano Makoto - although Yamada Yuta no longer thinks that Miyajima Eriko has any ideas about Asano Makoto, the effect should be better if the two of them can be alone.

In addition, if the legendary fairy really exists, then they can also receive the fairy's blessing and spend the rest of their lives together.

What a perfect plan.

However, although his idea is very good, Miyajima Eriko is not very interested in his proposal now.

On the one hand, it is because she has grown up and started to become family-oriented, no longer the simple high school student who only thought about going out to play all day long.

As for the other hand...

The reason why she wanted to go at that time was because she and Yamada Yuta were still lovers in the honeymoon period, and this kind of place was very attractive to her.

But now the person she likes is no longer Yamada Yuta, so she naturally has no interest in going to the hot spring hotel.

Although it can't be said so absolutely, in fact, if she doesn't go with Asano Makoto, then she doesn't really want to go.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, she still prepared to refuse.

However, she didn't refuse so bluntly, but said very euphemistically: "Let's forget it, the accommodation fee there is too expensive, we don't have much money now, if we go, then your salary for this month will be used up again, and time is also a problem, your boss won't give you a holiday, right? And there are no holidays during that time, if we only go for two days on Saturday and Sunday, then most of the time will be spent on the road."

Generally speaking, if Miyajima Eriko said this, Yamada Yuta would not force it anymore, after all, what she said was right.

But now it is different. In his view today, it is worth doing everything in his power to win back Miyajima Eriko's heart.

Although the thought of having to find a reason to ask the boss for a few days off in order to take Eriko out made him feel a little chilled.

Despite this, he still showed a "no problem at all" expression and continued to persuade: "It's okay, I worked a lot of overtime this month, and my salary is almost half more than before, even if I go out to play for a week, there will be some left, as for the holiday... just use up my paid leave this year."

In Japan, after reaching a certain seniority requirement, office workers can have a few days of paid leave every year in addition to some statutory holidays.

According to Japanese labor law, these vacation days are the rights of office workers, and employers must provide them, and the number of paid vacation days is generally valid for two years, and the unused days can be used together in the second year.

So if the seniority is relatively long, office workers can enjoy up to 40 days of paid leave each year.

However, Yamada Yuta has only recently joined the company, and it has not been half a year yet, so the annual paid vacation is only ten days.

In fact, this so-called paid vacation is just annual leave, but it can be used in advance.

Most people will use this vacation during the New Year, and although there are some people like Yamada Yuta who take the vacation out in advance, they are ultimately in the minority.

Moreover, company bosses are generally not very happy for employees to take leave. They don't want to approve employees' annual leave during the New Year, let alone approve leave in advance.

Maybe even in the current situation of crazy layoffs in the company, this leave will directly cause him to lose this job.

So taking this leave to accompany Miyajima Eriko out to play is estimated to cost a lot, and he himself is very clear about this.

But for him, if he can get back together with Miyajima Eriko, then all this is worth it.

Hearing him say this, Miyajima Eriko didn't know how to refuse.

After all, she has always unconditionally followed Yamada Yuta's choices, only giving some appropriate suggestions, and never interfering with the other party's decisions.

But the suggestion has already been given, but Yamada Yuta doesn't listen, so she doesn't know what to say.

So in the end, although she really didn't want to go, she could only say ambiguously: "Then let's talk about it then, if there really is no problem, then let's go and see..."

Hearing this, Yamada Yuta immediately became very happy and said confidently: "Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem!"

Miyajima Eriko was silent again.

Today is Monday of the fourth week of September, and there is about a week left before Yamada Yuta gets paid at the beginning of each month.

And no one can say what will happen in this week, maybe there will be all kinds of problems at that time, so naturally they will not be able to go anymore.

It would be great if Makoto could solve all this earlier...

Looking at Yamada Yuta, who was obviously becoming excited and constantly talking, although she knew that she was very sorry for him, Miyajima Eriko couldn't help but have such an idea.

Chapter 228: How Much Can You Grow (4K)

In the end, witnessed by Asano Makoto, this dinner ended.

Nothing else worth mentioning happened afterwards.

Yamada Yuta was still as excited as he was at the dinner table, constantly talking to Miyajima Eriko about the matters related to this hot spring trip.

And Miyajima Eriko, who was lacking in interest, had no choice but to respond somewhat helplessly while cleaning up the dishes.

It went on like this for more than three hours, until 10:30 in the evening, when she really didn't know how to deal with it, she used the excuse that "I felt a little tired from helping with cleaning today and wanted to go to bed early" to go back to her room to rest.

Although Yamada Yuta still looked like he hadn't had enough, since Miyajima Eriko had said so, he naturally couldn't force it anymore.

Moreover, the hot spring trip was still a week away, but he still had to go to work tomorrow, so in the end he also went back to the bedroom to sleep.

However, although these two went back to their rooms to sleep, there was one person who couldn't spare any time for the time being.

That person was naturally Asano Makoto, who had been watching the surveillance footage until now.

After the two of them went back to their rooms, he exited the surveillance footage and directly used his computer to search for information about that "hot spring hotel".

And what he, who was originally prepared to spend the whole night searching for information, didn't expect was that after entering the keywords "hot spring hotel", "fairy's blessing", and "vows of love made together", relevant information was directly searched out, and there was a lot of it.

Although in Asano Makoto's view, the so-called legend of "being able to receive blessings and spend the rest of your life with your lover" was merely a promotion made by the hotel to attract customers, and in reality, it had nothing to do with it.

But strangely, on the Internet, there were a lot of comments related to this hotel and this legend, and they were all overwhelmingly positive, with comments such as "My relationship with my lover has obviously become better after I went there" emerging one after another, with the earliest one even dating back more than ten years ago.

This directly made Asano Makoto a little confused, and he couldn't help but mutter: Could it be that the legend is true?

In fact, Asano Makoto in the past had always been a staunch atheist and didn't believe in these monsters and gods at all.

But since his rebirth, especially after having the system, he has become less firm.

After all, even such an outrageous thing as rebirth has happened to him, so even if some legends are true, it doesn't seem strange.

But although it was rare, Asano Makoto didn't think too much about it, after all, this legend didn't actually have much impact on him, because he didn't plan to let Miyajima Eriko go there with Yamada Yuta at all.

The less things, the better. If that legend is true, then things will be much more troublesome.

It's better to let Eriko find a reason to refuse at that time. If she really wants to go, then he will personally take her there after a while.

Asano Makoto's thoughts were very beautiful. Instead of letting the originally scheduled plan change because of this matter, it would be better to let Eriko directly reject Yamada Yuta's invitation this time.

After all, the best way to deal with problems is never to deal with the problem directly, but to solve the person who caused the problem.

As long as he drags it out for this period of time, and Yamada Yuta leaves after the task is completed, he will naturally take Eriko to that hot spring hotel again as compensation.

By the way, he will also see if that legend is really true.
