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

Section 191

However, when she sat down on the chair, her words weren't so polite: "You're clearly a guy, so why are you so weak?"

Asano Makoto, slumped in the chair, turned his head and took a deep look at her, but ultimately said nothing.

Actually, he originally wanted to express his dissatisfaction with the word "weak" and then let Konno Yuuka see for herself whether he was really weak or not.

But after thinking about it, he still felt that his relationship with Konno Yuuka wasn't good enough to make such large-scale jokes, so in the end, he chose to play dead.

After resting for a while, feeling that his strength had recovered a bit, he asked, "The clothes are bought, what are the plans for next? Want to grab a bite to eat nearby?"

Konno Yuuka immediately nodded and said, "Sure, but you're paying! After all, I helped you pick out so many clothes today, I'm exhausted!"

Exhausted my ass, you were clearly enjoying it the whole time!

Asano Makoto resisted the urge to roll his eyes and asked again, "Okay, no problem, then what about after dinner? Want to continue wandering around outside? Or go to my place? Or..."

This time, he stopped halfway through his sentence and immediately pretended to have just remembered something, reopening his mouth to say, "Oh, right, didn't you say you had something to do tonight? Is there still time?"

Konno Yuuka was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at the darkening sky and the neon lights of the shopping street that were almost completely lit up, then took out her phone to check the time.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Then what time did she agree to meet that scumbag?

Konno Yuuka thought carefully for a long time before finally remembering, it seemed to be 7:30 PM.

Although the location wasn't far from here, about ten minutes away, but if that's the case...

Konno Yuuka moved her gaze away from her phone and looked at Asano Makoto, who was looking at her with a somewhat puzzled expression.

She hesitated, wondering whether to reschedule with that scumbag, or simply stand him up, and then spend more time with Asano Makoto, even if it was just for a few short hours.

After all, Asano-kun said he had something to do tomorrow.

And she was leaving tomorrow night, so the time she could spend by his side this time was only tonight...

Chapter 258: Future (Bonus 7/69)

Konno Yuuka is a very trustworthy person, she has a "contractual spirit" that is very rare in this era.

Even if she has already sentenced that scumbag to death, and doesn't even want to see him, she still has to put an end to things, especially since she was the one who took the initiative to ask him to meet tonight.

However, it was also true that she wanted to continue staying by Asano Makoto's side, after all, her time was only tonight.

So, whether to keep her promise and meet someone she didn't want to see but had to, or break the agreement and stay where she wanted to stay, these two difficult choices made her expression visibly tangled.

Just then, Asano Makoto suddenly spoke: "If you have something important to do, then go do it, don't worry about me."

Konno Yuuka came back to her senses and found that Asano Makoto had a faint smile on his face.

For some reason, looking at this smile, she suddenly felt a little flustered, and subconsciously wanted to explain: "No, I just..."

However, she was interrupted by Asano Makoto before she could finish her sentence.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you, although I have something to do tomorrow and can't accompany you, but..."

Asano Makoto paused slightly, staring intently at her somewhat flustered eyes and meeting her gaze for a while, before reopening his mouth to say, "Our future is still long, isn't it?"

Thump thump.

Thump thump.

Konno Yuuka heard the sound of her own heartbeat again.

Asano Makoto looked at her with a smile and continued jokingly, "We'll have plenty of time to be together in the future, so if there's anything you want to do, go ahead and do it now, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be缠着 you in the future, and then you really won't have time."

Future.

Later.

Plenty of time.

Konno Yuuka was stunned for a long time.

Finally, several seconds later, a smile appeared on her face.

She suddenly had a trace of expectation.

For her and Asano Makoto's future.

For the desire to break free from constraints.

And, most importantly, for the yearning for freedom.

She suddenly understood that as long as her relationship with Shida Youichi still existed, then she would still not be free, and would still be in a state of being bound.

Having a boyfriend is the chain that binds her.

As mentioned before, she is a very principled person, and since she has demanded that her boyfriend not cheat, then she herself will never cheat.

So as long as this chain is still there, then she, with the principle of "no cheating", will not be able to, and cannot possibly, let go and be with Asano Makoto wholeheartedly, let alone take this relationship further.

To be honest, although she wants to maintain this relationship now, she is not interested in continuing to develop it in a deeper direction.

Well, she doesn't think she currently has any feelings for Asano Makoto that go beyond friendship.

Whether the truth is really so is still unclear, but at least in her own view, that's how it is.

However, the future.

Who can say for sure about the future?

What if one day, she suddenly had the idea to do so?

What if one day, she suddenly wanted to chase after Asano Makoto and make him her boyfriend?

What if one day, she suddenly wanted to marry Asano Makoto and even have children, and spend the rest of her life with him?

The future is like this, vague and unclear, and no one can figure it out.

But one thing is certain.

Anyway, Shida Youichi, this unfaithful and cumbersome scumbag, she originally planned to throw him aside.

In that case, it's better to deal with it sooner, right?

Thinking of this, Konno Yuuka suddenly couldn't wait, and even wished she could regain her "freedom" immediately.

So, she smiled at Asano Makoto, who was still looking at her, waiting for her answer: "Yeah, I understand."

Asano Makoto said nothing about her decision, after all, this was the answer he had personally guided her to.

So he just asked, "Do you need me to drive you?"

Konno Yuuka came directly to his place this morning by train, without going home, so naturally she didn't drive, so when they went out at night, he drove his newly bought car.

He naturally hoped that Konno Yuuka would nod in agreement, after all, he knew what Konno Yuuka was going to do.

If he went with her, then he could secretly watch from the side, and if something bad happened, he could deal with it in time.

However, Konno Yuuka did not grant his wish, shaking her head and saying, "No need, the location isn't too far, I'll be there in a while."

"Really don't need me to drive you?"

Asano Makoto didn't give up, he still wanted to try.

Konno Yuuka looked a little hesitant.

In fact, she ran to Asano Makoto early this morning, not only because she really wanted to see him and be by his side, but also because she wanted him to help her with a favor.

However, halfway through, Konno Yuuka changed her mind.

She felt that this was her own business and shouldn't involve Asano Makoto.

Most importantly, she didn't want Asano Makoto to see the appearance that would inevitably appear, her getting angry.

She hoped that in Asano Makoto's heart, she would always be beautiful.

As for why... there was no why, she just subconsciously wanted to leave a good impression in Asano Makoto's heart.

Or rather, for the future.

So in the end, she still shook her head and rejected Asano Makoto's suggestion, saying casually, "Really no need, I'll go myself, I just need to meet a client to talk about something, it's nothing big."

Asano Makoto was silent for a while before nodding and saying, "Okay then, be careful on the road."

"Yeah, then I'll go first, see you later."

Konno Yuuka said goodbye and stood up from the chair.

Asano Makoto just nodded, and didn't say he would send her to the station, just said goodbye: "Okay, bye, see you next time."

Konno Yuuka left, heading towards the station.

However, after walking a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and shouted at Asano Makoto, who was still slumped on the bench: "Ah, right! I still remember the meal you owe me, you have to treat me when I'm on vacation next time, don't think about weaseling out of it!"

Shinjuku had entered the night, and the shopping street was starting to get crowded.

But apart from being slightly attracted by their appearance, no one cared about their ordinary conversation when friends parted.

After all, there was nothing to see here, this was Shinjuku at night, where talents were emerging, and there were too many more interesting things here.

Looking at Konno Yuuka's stingy appearance, Asano Makoto laughed and said unhappily, "I know, you won't be shortchanged, hurry up and go, don't keep the 'client' waiting."

Konno Yuuka didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Chapter 259: Dumb Beauty (Bonus 8/69)

Konno Yuuka really left this time, she didn't turn her head again, and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Asano Makoto looked in the direction she disappeared for a while.

Although he knew what she was going to do, after being rejected twice, Asano Makoto didn't plan to chase after her again, let alone secretly follow behind her.

Asano Makoto believed that Konno Yuuka could handle this matter smoothly now, and there wouldn't be any problems.

Although he was a little curious and wanted to see how she would tear up the scumbag, after thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it.

After sitting on the chair and resting for a while, he suddenly found that his legs didn't seem to hurt as much.

That's really strange.
