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

On the other side, Eriko Miyajima was still bewildered by the sudden typhoon and Makoto Asano suddenly carrying her away.

She only came to her senses after Makoto Asano covered her with his coat and she could smell his comforting scent.

At the same time, she finally noticed her embarrassing state of being completely soaked.

After realizing what Asano Makoto had been looking at her for a few seconds, her face began to burn uncontrollably.

Fortunately, besides Makoto Asano, there was only a receptionist here, and at the moment her attention was not on them, but rather staring blankly at the hotel entrance where the wind was howling.

In other words, only Asano-kun saw his own body.

If that's the case, then it's alright...

Thinking this, Eriko Miyajima suppressed her shame and thanked Makoto Asano, who had covered her body with his coat: "Asano-kun, thank you, you've troubled me again."

"It should."

Makoto Asano smiled slightly, nodded to Eriko Miyajima in response, and then turned to look at the glass doors of the hotel.

At this moment, it was completely dark outside, with dark clouds covering the entire sky.

The wind was still howling, making the hotel doors sway back and forth, while raindrops and hail kept pounding on the doors, making a loud, clanging sound.

Amidst this chaotic storm, many people were running around aimlessly like headless flies.

Looking at this scene that seemed like the end of the world, Makoto Asano couldn't help but feel a surge of secret joy.

However, on the surface, he still put on a somewhat helpless expression, sighed softly, and then turned around to look at Eriko Miyajima again.

"Eriko, it looks like we're not going home today."

Hearing this, Eriko Miyajima, who had regained her senses, also gave a somewhat helpless wry smile and nodded slightly: "Yes... I wonder when this rain will stop."

That's what they said, and their tone even sounded somewhat regretful.

But that wasn't actually what she thought. In fact, for some reason, she even felt a little happy at that moment.

Makoto Asano didn't see through Eriko Miyajima's thoughts, but that didn't stop him from doing what he was going to do next.

After all, he was quite familiar with this plot.

Similar incidents often occur in some of the films he has criticized in the past.

For example, Mr. Maple's IPX-850, "Rain's body is excited, his subordinates are attacking, and it is superb...".

There's also Mikami-sensei's STARS-388, "On a business trip, I was suddenly taken to the same room with my virgin subordinate during a torrential downpour...".

And Miss Aozora Hikaru's SSNI-802, "The House is Difficult on the Day, Arashi's Passing on the Road...".

These films are actually representative works of various production companies, all carefully selected mediocre movies, which Makoto Asano criticized many times back then.

In short, after pretending to think and briefly recalling the plot of the movie, Makoto Asano immediately suggested, "There's no other way, let's go book a room first, and then quickly take a shower and change our clothes, otherwise we might catch a cold in our wet clothes."

To make his point more convincing, he quickly added, "And it would be troublesome if we couldn't book a room when there are more people later."

Eriko Miyajima was slightly taken aback at first, but soon, as if she thought Makoto Asano made sense, she nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

She then followed Makoto Asano to the receptionist standing at the counter.

At this moment, the receptionist had come to her senses and stopped looking at the typhoon outside. Instead, she turned around, smiled, and asked the two of them, "Hello, would you like to make a reservation?"

"Yes, I need two single rooms."

Makoto Asano, of course, couldn't reveal his thoughts, so he initially only booked two single rooms.

Anyway, it didn't really matter to him how many rooms he wanted, because there were many reasons to get into Eriko Miyajima's room.

He was afraid of thunder, wind, rain, and darkness. He didn't believe that if he played the victim and acted pitiful, Eriko Miyajima would still refuse to let him in.

Upon hearing Makoto Asano's words, the receptionist nodded slightly: "Okay, please wait a moment."

"Okay, please do it as soon as possible."

In Japan, you generally don't need identification to stay in a hotel, especially hotels near universities.

So the receptionist didn't ask the two of them for a room, but instead started working on the computer, seemingly looking for an available room for them.

However, after the two waited quietly for a while, the receptionist looked up awkwardly and said something somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, sir, we don't have any single rooms available. If you'd like to stay here, the only room left is a deluxe king room that's still empty..."

Chapter 157 Her Heart

Upon hearing what the receptionist said, Makoto Asano paused for a moment, somewhat surprised.

Is this prop really that powerful?

Not only can it create typhoons, but it can also control the number of hotel rooms?

That's outrageous!

Actually, this time it was just that Makoto Asano was overthinking things.

The fact that this hotel was fully booked had nothing to do with the props he used.

In fact, there are many attractions of all sizes near the National Art Center, Tokyo, which is why many tourists choose to stay in the vicinity.

However, the main reason this hotel is fully booked is because there is a university called the "Graduate School of Policy Studies" next door.

It's around 6 PM now, and in a little while it will be time for the two-player battle to last all night, so all the rooms in this hotel are already booked.

Well, I understand everything.

Also, because it's located next to a university, this hotel has very few single rooms; it's basically all double rooms.

So essentially, this hotel is more like a love hotel.

Although it appears to be a regular hotel, most of the rooms here, except for a few single rooms, are decorated like those in a love hotel.

This resulted in all the few single rooms available at the hotel being booked by tourists, while the double rooms were snapped up by couples from the surrounding area, leading to the hotel being fully booked.

Of course, if you insist on attributing this to the props, then there's really nothing wrong with that.

After all, there are so many hotels near the National Art Center, why did the prop master choose to create a typhoon when they were passing by this hotel with only one empty room?

However, after receiving the answer that there was only one double room left, Makoto Asano was not very happy, but rather felt a bit troubled.

If you book two single rooms, Eriko Miyajima will definitely agree. Although getting into her room later might be a bit more troublesome, it's more reliable.

But if it were to share a double room, she might not even agree.

So after thinking about it for a moment, Makoto Asano turned to Eriko Miyajima to ask for her opinion.

"Eriko, what do you think? Should we stay here?"

“…Huh? Me?”

When asked by Makoto Asano, Eriko Miyajima paused for a moment before hurriedly saying something without answering the question.

It seems she was just lost in thought, which is why she didn't react for a moment.

Moreover, her face looked a little red, and it was hard to tell what she had been thinking about.

Seeing her confused look, Makoto Asano smiled and repeated, "Well, this hotel only has one double room left. Eriko, what do you think? Do you want to stay here?"

After a brief moment of thought, he added a new option: "However, you might not be able to accept this... How about we wait here for a while? Once the rain outside subsides a bit, we can go out and find a hotel with a spare single room?"

Logically speaking, this shouldn't have been said in front of the receptionist.

However, Makoto Asano didn't care. Compared to this unfamiliar girl, Eriko was definitely more important.

And because of his face, which could charm many girls, the receptionist, who was just an office worker, wasn't angry at all because of his words.

Whether the hotel makes a profit or a loss, or how many people stay and how much money it makes, has nothing to do with her working as a receptionist. She won't get an extra penny just because one more person stays at the hotel.

Asano Makoto then proceeded with the steps as originally planned.

So, right after asking that question, before Eriko Miyajima could even answer, he immediately muttered to himself, "No, that won't do. The typhoon came so suddenly, and there are so many people outside. By the time we get there, all the other hotels will definitely be full."

"Besides, I don't think the rain will stop anytime soon. If someone comes and books the only double room, then we'll really have nowhere to stay tonight."

He shook his head again, looked straight at Eriko Miyajima and said, "Never mind, I won't say anything more. Eriko, you decide. I'm fine with whatever you say."

Makoto Asano's words seem to show Eriko Miyajima a great deal of respect and give her the right to choose.

But in reality, after Makoto Asano clearly analyzed the current situation, he essentially gave nothing at all.

Because his analysis was very comprehensive, and he spoke without personal emotion, but rather very rationally, coupled with my long-standing trust in him.

The outcome was already predetermined.

Sure enough, after he brought up the question again, Eriko Miyajima shook her head and said, "Asano-kun, you're right. Let's stay here."

She didn't doubt Makoto Asano's motives at all, and without even thinking about it, she directly accepted his initial proposal.

However, Eriko Miyajima had no idea what would happen when two wet people who needed to take a shower checked into a double room.

She didn't realize that if the typhoon continued, they would have to sleep in the same room, or even the same bed, tonight.

In other words, she hasn't even thought about how to get along with Makoto Asano in the future.

Or perhaps she had already thought of it, but she was just deliberately making herself forget about it.

As for why...

It can only be said that because her favorability rating had risen to 95 points today, she inevitably developed some anticipation for what might happen between her and Makoto Asano in the future.

At the same time, her normal moral values, sense of shame, and loyalty to her boyfriend prevented her from facing her own heart and her feelings for Asano Makoto.

Because of her unusually strong feelings for Makoto Asano, she would always deceive herself under the guise of being a "friend," and then continue to contact him, becoming more and more deeply involved.

So in the end, not knowing what to do, she simply chose to escape, subconsciously ignoring all these things.

After all, if she didn't do it, her heart would suffer endless pain and torment from guilt.

From a long time ago, probably from the day she became friends with Makoto Asano, she had hoped that someone would help her make a decision and pull her out of this painful abyss.

Clearly, Yuta Yamada, her boyfriend, is one of the people who could do this.

If he had abandoned his outdated views on love and chosen to marry Eriko Miyajima earlier, things would never have turned out this way.

But he didn't.
