My wife believes me; how could I be a cuckold?

Eriko Miyajima quickly shook her head, dismissing these inappropriate thoughts, and silently followed behind Makoto Asano.

As she walked up to Makoto Asano, a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Even she herself didn't realize this.

After a while, the elevator reached the 9th floor, and the two took the elevator to the underground parking garage and got into Makoto Asano's car.

It's worth mentioning that Makoto Asano's car had been washed before he went to see Risa Kanno last time.

So after getting into the car, Eriko Miyajima, who subconsciously sniffed but couldn't smell the "perfume," asked in surprise.

Makoto Asano, feigning composure, explained that he didn't like the smell of the car air freshener, so he bought a new one.

Upon hearing this, Eriko Miyajima didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded and quietly sat down in the passenger seat.

Asano Makoto was unsure what to do because of Miyajima Eriko's unusual behavior today, so he didn't speak for the time being and planned to observe for a while before making a decision.

The two sat in the car in silence, neither of them saying a word.

Until we are about to reach our first destination for the day.

She asked in as calm a tone as possible, "Asano-kun, did that girl from yesterday encounter any difficulties?"

Upon hearing this, Makoto Asano abruptly turned to look at Eriko Miyajima.

However, remembering that he was still driving, he immediately turned his head back halfway through the turn.

Because the observation time was too short, and Eriko Miyajima turned her head to look out the window when she said this, he only saw her back and could not see her expression.

Just as he was driving and hesitating about what to say, Eriko Miyajima spoke up again.

"Of course, it's okay if Asano-kun doesn't want to answer, but..."

With a smile and a hint of emotion that was hard to decipher, she slowly said, "I believe that Asano-kun will tell everything to his 'best friend,' right?"

For some reason, Makoto Asano found Eriko Miyajima's slightly amused voice to be somewhat terrifying, and even his body trembled involuntarily.

Although Eriko Miyajima's words just now seemed to give him two choices, in reality he had no choice at all.

Without exaggeration, he felt that given Eriko Miyajima's current state, if he dared not speak up, she would immediately explode at him.

As for what she would do specifically, Makoto Asano didn't know, but one thing was certain: the result would definitely not be what he wanted.

However, he quickly came to his senses again.

No, what am I afraid of?

Just explain things clearly and then appease her, and that's all you need to do.

Even if I tell the truth, there's no problem. Anyway, I didn't do anything else; I was just comforting a girl who had been hurt by a jerk.

Well... but in order to complete the mission, we still need to keep some of yesterday's events a secret.

No, it should be said that some artistic embellishment was applied.

The art of language.

With that in mind, Makoto Asano carefully considered his words, and while driving, he pointed out some key points that would be fine to say aloud to Eriko Miyajima.

It's about how she met Konno Yuuka, how she and her boyfriend were high school classmates, what Konno Yuuka came to see her for yesterday, and what kind of help she helped her with.

With Makoto Asano's explanation, Eriko Miyajima gradually understood what had happened.

"So, that Shida Yoichi is a scumbag? And Konno-san is his girlfriend who came to ask his high school classmate, Asano-kun, about his past?"

At this point, she completely believed Asano Makoto's statement, but because the matter was so outrageous, she couldn't help but repeat it.

When she said this, her tone inevitably carried some unusual emotions.

Women are emotional.

After learning about these things, she couldn't help but feel angry at Yoichi Shida, and subconsciously felt sorry for Yuuka Konno.

Even now, the slight hostility she once harbored towards Konno Yuuka had completely vanished.

On the other hand, after sensing the emotion in Eriko Miyajima's words, Makoto Asano knew that the problem wasn't too serious.

At least she now believes what she said.

However, just to be on the safe side, he nodded and added, "That's about right. And to make sure what I said was true, she even had me call my classmates to verify it."

As he said this, he opened the call log page of the phone fixed on the stand and said, "Look, I made six calls back then, and I talked to each person for about twenty minutes."

Out of the corner of her eye, Eriko Miyajima noticed his movement and instinctively turned her head to look at him.

Then she discovered that from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. yesterday, Makoto Asano made about ten phone calls, six of which were answered, with intervals of twenty to half an hour between each call.

In other words, what he said was basically consistent with the truth.

However, Eriko Miyajima is not currently focused on this matter.

She had long since completely believed Asano Makoto's words and also believed that Konno Yuuka's experience was true.

Now she's focused on other things.

Looking at Makoto Asano's phone screen, she began to think with unprecedented agility.

These ten or so people were Asano-kun's high school classmates, but there were no notes attached to them.

That is to say...

Before yesterday, Asano-kun probably hadn't contacted any of these people; he might have just found their numbers in the yearbook.

So these people pose no threat and don't need to be worried about them too much.

But before these people, there was one more...

Eriko Miyajima slowly moved her gaze to the bottom of the page, to the call log of "Risa Kanno".

Because Makoto Asano didn't try to cover it up, even if she didn't want to see it, she could still see Makoto Asano's call records with other people at a glance.

When she first saw the name "Kano Risa," which clearly belonged to a woman, she instinctively became more vigilant.

However, after thinking about it for a short while, she felt relieved and stopped worrying.

Judging from the surname "Kano", Ms. Kamino Risa should be Yuna's mother, who is also the acquaintance of Asano-kun.

No matter how you look at it, she's already a mother, so she probably wouldn't have any feelings for Asano-kun...

Compared to her, Yuna might be in more danger.

Thinking this, Eriko Miyajima glanced at her phone screen again to confirm.

Besides Risa Kanno and her dozen or so old classmates, the only other person on the call list was a food delivery driver.

In other words, Asano-kun's interpersonal relationships were actually quite shallow, and he didn't have many friends.

Therefore, I won't have many "enemies".

So the key to the problem really lies with that Ms. Konno...

Yes, even though I now believe that what Makoto Asano said is true, I also feel sorry for Yuuka Konno's experience.

However, this does not mean that she has let down her guard against Konno Yuuka.

Or rather, she actually trusted Makoto Asano.

The only person she didn't trust was Konno Yuuka.

Although she hadn't experienced it herself, as a woman, she naturally knew what it meant for a woman to have such an excellent man as Makoto Asano by her side when she had just been heartbroken by a scumbag.

Not to mention, given Asano's gentle nature, he must have tried his best to comfort Konno-san at home, and the effect of his comfort must have been quite good.

Because Asano-kun is very good at talking and comforting people.

I have been encouraged by Asano-kun countless times.

So, Konno-san, who was comforted by Asano-kun when she was sad, must also feel sorry for him...

At the very least, Ms. Konno must have already developed some feelings for him.

Eriko Miyajima couldn't help but think this way, and she didn't think she was overthinking it at all.

Because at that moment, the two of them were hugging each other, and hugging each other so tightly!

Moreover, judging from the situation at the time, it should be that Konno Yuuka took the initiative to rush up and hug Asano-kun.

Although Asano hugged her back, it was probably only because he was too gentle and didn't want Konno Yuuka to be sad.

It has to be said that Eriko Miyajima has reached the peak of her intelligence at this moment.

The things she speculated about, except for the part related to Makoto Asano, were surprisingly close to reality.

In short, from her current perspective...

Whether it was love at first sight or some other reason, Konno Yuuka definitely had her eye on Asano Makoto and wanted to take him away from her.

In other words, Konno Yuuka is now her enemy.

Her feelings for Konno Yuuka were hostile.

Of course, she still felt sorry for Konno Yuuka's experiences.

But these are two different things.

You encountered a scumbag and were hurt by him, so you are pitiful, that's a fact.

I will pray for you, and maybe even do my best to help you get over your pain as soon as possible, and I hope you will meet a better person soon.

But if you try to take Asano-kun away from me, that's absolutely not allowed.

This is what Eriko Miyajima is thinking now.

Interestingly, she hasn't actually realized her feelings for Makoto Asano, nor has she figured out why she feels such hostility towards Yuuka Konno.
