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

Eriko, in pain, uttered almost meaningless words and instinctively reached out to hug Asano Makoto's body, scratching his back with her fingers as if she couldn't bear it any longer.

His skin was torn, and it really hurt, but Makoto Asano just silently endured it.

Because he knew that Eriko Miyajima, who had been injured not long ago, was in much more pain than he was.

After a long while, the trembling finally stopped.

Asano Makoto raised his head and looked down at himself.

Eriko Miyajima gasped for breath, and perhaps because she was no longer in pain, a sweet smile graced her face as she slowly closed her eyes.

Chapter 165 It hurts so much

It's a beautiful morning.

The sunlight after the storm streamed in through the balcony, a gentle breeze stirred the curtains, and birdsong seemed to drift in from outside.

Makoto Asano turned slightly to his side so that Eriko, who was curled up in his arms, could sleep more comfortably.

He reached out and gently stroked her sleeping face, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of infatuation.

To be honest, he didn't really enjoy himself much last night.

But Eriko was doing this for the first time, and her body was so sensitive that she clearly couldn't withstand the strain.

In this respect, Makoto Asano is not a self-centered person. In his opinion, it is easier to feel satisfied by making the woman in his arms happy than to just think about his own comfort.

Even when he was angry at Yuna Kanno's teasing, he still managed to stop in time.

At that moment, as if sensing his touch, Eriko Miyajima subconsciously brushed aside the strands of hair covering her nose and then slightly opened her still bewildered eyes.

Seeing Asano Makoto staring at her with a smile, she subconsciously returned a sweet and happy smile.

She then yawned, snuggled closer to Makoto Asano, and prepared to change her position to continue sleeping for a while, allowing her tired body to get a full rest.

But then she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

What's wrong?

It's morning, the blanket is in my arms, but I'm not wearing any clothes, and I'm sleeping in a hotel bed with Asano-kun...

and many more!

She wasn't wearing any clothes at all?

Sleeping in a hotel bed with Asano-kun!?

Eriko Miyajima's eyes widened in an instant.

Good morning, Eriko.

Hearing Makoto Asano's gentle voice, she suddenly remembered what had happened yesterday.

To avoid the typhoon, Asano-kun and I checked into this hotel yesterday.

Because there were no extra rooms, we stayed together.

Last night, as I turned off the lights and prepared to sleep, Asano-kun confessed his love to me.

And then we...

Eriko Miyajima's body tensed up instinctively.

But soon, she relaxed again.

Done.

I did it with Asano-kun.

but……

It's okay because it's with Asano-kun.

Thinking of this, as if accepting reality, Eriko Miyajima also showed a sweet smile, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Good morning, Asano-kun."

Clearly, although she remembered what happened yesterday, her mind was still not very clear.

Despite knowing what she and Makoto Asano had done the night before, she temporarily forgot that she already had a boyfriend, and didn't remember that her boyfriend wasn't Makoto Asano, but Yuta Yamada.

In other words, she was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation at that moment.

Or rather, it was her brain's protective mechanism that made her subconsciously forget these things.

However, since she didn't realize it, Asano Makoto naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to bring it up.

"Well, good morning."

As he admired the beautiful scenery before him, he gently replied in the same way again, then leaned over and lightly kissed Eriko Miyajima's cheek, earlobe, and neck.

After a slight pause, Eriko began to respond gently.

After some tender moments, the two prepared to get up.

But just as she sat up, clutching the blanket, Eriko Miyajima exclaimed in surprise.

"it hurts!"

She sat on the bed, looking at Makoto Asano with some embarrassment, but couldn't help frowning because of the pain.

"That's normal. After all, it was your first time last night, and the first time is always very painful."

Asano Makoto couldn't help but chuckle and said this, then added reassuringly, "It's alright, just rest at the hotel tonight."

This time, however, Eriko Miyajima did not respond to his words. Instead, she remained frowning, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing her like this, Asano Makoto knew that she must have realized something.

Pain is the best medicine for bringing people to their senses, and that's absolutely true.

Otherwise, where did the Great Memory Restoration Technique come from?

At this moment, Eriko Miyajima gradually realized how problematic her actions were last night, and her face turned pale at a visible speed.

Noticing her change, Makoto Asano quickly reached out and hugged her tightly.

Regardless of whether my guess is right or wrong, and regardless of whether holding on to it is useful or not, I'll just hold on to it for now.

However, to Makoto Asano's surprise, Eriko Miyajima did not struggle after being hugged. Instead, she silently let him hold her in his arms without making a sound.

broken.

Asano Makoto immediately realized that something must have gone wrong.

No matter how much Eriko Miyajima yells or hits and bites him, Makoto Asano is confident he can appease her.

But this silence is the most frightening thing.

Because no one knows what she's thinking at that moment.

Moreover, unlike Konno Yuuka, she doesn't have any stable values ​​or anything that Asano Makoto can refer to.

Without even thinking, Makoto Asano apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, Eriko, it's all my fault..."

His idea was simple: to quickly find a way to calm Eriko down and prevent her from brooding and overthinking, which could eventually lead to an emotional breakdown.

However, Eriko Miyajima's reaction once again surprised Makoto Asano.

Whether she had anticipated today's events or was mentally prepared, her demeanor was surprisingly... calm.

Yes, it's peace.

"Asano-kun, this is not your fault."

She didn't burst into tears or break down emotionally. Instead, she slowly shook her head and calmly comforted Asano Makoto.

After offering her comfort, she gave a bitter laugh and took all the blame upon herself.

“We both know this is my own mistake—last night I was the one who took the initiative to hug you, and I was the one who took the initiative to kiss you…”

"You didn't do anything. In fact, you reminded me several times. It's just that I didn't want to stop. So, Asano-kun, it's not your fault. It's all my fault."

Hearing her somewhat helpless tone and her strangely calm reaction, Asano Makoto could hardly believe it.

He couldn't help but loosen his grip on Eriko Miyajima and observe her expression.

This time, it finally turned out just as expected.

His face was filled with pain, regret, and disappointment.

And despair.

Looking at her face, which was so sad it was almost pale, Asano Makoto knew that her heart was definitely not as calm as she appeared.

So she said those things to comfort me? To make me not feel guilty towards her?

Even though I'm already in this situation, why am I the one they prioritize?

A girl like that is really...

To be honest, Makoto Asano was smitten once again.

Chapter 166 New Mission (Bonus Chapter 14)

Feeling Eriko Miyajima's gentleness and thoughtfulness, Makoto Asano couldn't help but hug her tightly again, saying, "Eriko, I—"

However, before she could finish speaking, Eriko Miyajima interrupted her, which was quite unusual for her.

"Asano-kun, please listen to me first."

Now, Eriko Miyajima has completely understood her own heart.

The person she liked was Yuta Yamada—that was indeed the case before she met Makoto Asano.

But now, the person she likes is Makoto Asano.

Without a doubt, this should not be done; it is wrong.

Because she has a lover, she has a boyfriend, she has someone she should like.

But now she has fallen in love with Makoto Asano, and even...
