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

This is infidelity.

Because of her feelings for him, because of a momentary impulse, and because she didn't want Makoto Asano to leave her, she did something that betrayed her boyfriend.

Whatever the reason, it is a fact.

So how could she not feel guilty?

But it's too late to say all this now.

A mistake has been made.

The only thing we can do now is to avoid making any more mistakes and then explain the situation to Yuta Yamada.

However, she couldn't do it—she couldn't do the first thing.

She could go to Yuta Yamada with guilt and remorse to explain the matter and apologize to him.

If you do something wrong, you must take responsibility.

Therefore, she will not choose to run away, nor will she let Yamada Yuta remain unaware of this matter forever. Instead, she will explain the matter to Yamada Yuta.

She would accept whatever Yamada Yuta did—hit her, scold her, or throw her away as a "piece of trash."

However, she couldn't bring herself to give up Makoto Asano.

Because she liked... no, she fell in love with Makoto Asano.

If we had to quantify it with a number, it would be that her current level of affection for Makoto Asano is 99.

So she didn't want to, and couldn't, separate from Makoto Asano.

Because in the system's settings, a 99% affinity level represents a love that means wanting to spend a lifetime together and never be separated.

Reaching 100 points means that she would not hesitate to give up her life for Makoto Asano.

However, her deeply ingrained moral values ​​and the guilt she felt for having just wronged her boyfriend have plunged her into endless pain and inner turmoil.

She knew it was wrong.

So she made a decision.

She wants to end things with Makoto Asano, just like he did last night.

This is quite surprising, because she actually managed to defeat a system setting that, theoretically, should never have any problems.

But there are reasons for this.

Now, her moral depravity score has risen to 99.

This increase in value is a good thing because it can bring pure love value to Makoto Asano.

But it's also a bad thing.

The higher her moral character score, the more guilty she feels towards Yuta Yamada, and the less she can accept abandoning him and being with Makoto Asano.

According to the system settings, the impact of this value is almost the same as that of favorability and submission.

In addition, she herself is an indecisive person who can't bring herself to be ruthless.

So even if she loves Makoto Asano very much, she still can't just dump Yuta Yamada and run off to be with Makoto Asano.

Not to mention that Asano Makoto, as an "outsider," was in the wrong in this matter.

In short, whatever the reason, she has made this decision.

Reaching 100 points means that Eriko Miyajima would not hesitate to give up her life for Makoto Asano.

And so, in Makoto Asano's arms, she uttered her final request.

“I’ll explain things to Yuta—so, Asano-kun, could you spend another morning with me today… After we get home this afternoon, please pretend that what happened last night never happened, okay?”

Mr. Asano.

If only you were the first person I met.

She couldn't stop thinking like this, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her voice gradually became choked, and her body began to tremble slightly.

Hearing her words, which began to tremble with tears, Asano Makoto remained silent for a moment.

Then, he slowly shook his head, and then hugged Eriko Miyajima even more firmly: "No."

Feeling his firm chest, Eriko Miyajima could no longer maintain her composure.

She burst into tears, repeatedly saying, "Asano-kun! Do you know I already have a boyfriend! Do you know I just did something wrong? I can't keep making the same mistake!"

"I know."

Upon hearing Makoto Asano's answer, Eriko Miyajima instinctively wanted to shout, "Then why did you—!"

However, before she could finish speaking, Asano Makoto interrupted her.

Asano Makoto straightened up again, grabbed Miyajima Eriko's shoulders with both hands, and looked directly into her eyes.

Before they had been gazing at each other for two seconds, Makoto Asano earnestly and firmly confessed his love: "Because I love you, Eriko, I love you, do you understand?"

"I want to be with you, Eriko. I'll take responsibility for you, so—please go out with me!"

He could certainly choose to grant Eriko Miyajima's request and temporarily calm her down.

Since her mission has been completed, it doesn't matter if we do nothing else and let her fend for herself.

But Makoto Asano was unwilling to do that.

Because he wanted to have Eriko Miyajima.

On the other side, faced with Makoto Asano's sudden confession, Eriko Miyajima's eyes widened instinctively, and she froze for a moment.

She stared blankly at Makoto Asano, a blush quickly spreading across her beautiful face.

The room fell silent as the two stared at each other.

Makoto Asano is frank and sincere, while Eriko Miyajima is coy and ambiguous.

With a favorability rating of 99 points, she was completely unable to resist Makoto Asano's direct confession, and even temporarily forgot the face of her boyfriend that flashed through her mind and the struggles and pain she had just felt.

Neither of them spoke, tears silently streaming down Eriko Miyajima's cheeks.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she inevitably remembered the mistakes she had made, and a struggle reappeared in her eyes.

But just then, Asano Makoto, who had anticipated this, immediately leaned his head over and kissed her lips.

[Ding! Eriko Miyajima's affection level has reached 100. The next stage of the mission has been unlocked!]

[Mission Objective: Prevent Eriko Miyajima from confessing to Yuta Yamada, and perform the Great Harmony of Life with Eriko Miyajima in front of Yuta Yamada, raising Eriko Miyajima's immorality level to 100.]

[Limited Time Offer: Three Months]

[Mission completion reward: Yamada Yuta's forgiveness value visualized, Pure Love Value +10000.]

[Punishment for mission failure: Eriko Miyajima suffers an emotional breakdown due to the burning of purple clay.]

The instant after Makoto Asano kissed Eriko Miyajima, she only paused for a moment instinctively before immediately responding passionately.

Just then, a notification sound rang in Makoto Asano's mind.

That means the system has issued a new task.

Moreover, this mission truly lives up to its name, the "Yellow-haired Minotaur System".

At first, Makoto Asano didn't pay much attention, but after hearing the final punishment, he couldn't help but freeze in shock.

He hadn't expected the punishment for this mission to be so cruel.

However, he quickly regained his senses, temporarily setting aside all thoughts about the mission, and continued passionately kissing Eriko Miyajima.

Because this is the best, and only, option he can make at this moment.

On the other side, tears continued to stream down Eriko Miyajima's cheeks; she could no longer distinguish whether they were from pain or joy.

Tears streamed down their faces, past their lips, and into their lips pressed together.

But the two of them didn't seem to find it salty at all. Instead, it was as if they were tasting the sweetest flavor in the world, and they began to kiss each other even more passionately.

Immediately afterwards, Makoto Asano gently pushed Eriko Miyajima, who was only holding a blanket, onto the bed once again.

Chapter 167 Tenderness

I was worried that some readers might miss this, so I mentioned it earlier: Chapters 163 and 164 died less than a day after being reported, which was unavoidable and expected. It seems that Chapter 163 can still be salvaged, but Chapter 164 is completely dead and cannot be changed.

However, these two chapters of "The Perverted Ghost" have already been released. If you want to read them but haven't seen them yet, you can go to the group to find them, or wait a few days and then come back to read the revised version.

We won't mention this again. If you find any missing chapters, just check the group chat or come back in a few days.

Some readers have said that even if a chapter is blocked, it can still be viewed after caching. You might want to give it a try.

(By the way, I'd also like to ask for monthly votes here. My data will be very bad after the chapter was blocked, so I'd like to ask for monthly votes to recover. Thank you all.)

-----------------

Makoto Asano held Eriko Miyajima, who was naked and panting heavily, in his arms and gently stroked her cheek with his lips.

Eriko Miyajima did not reject Makoto Asano's intimacy; a faint, sweet smile played on her lips, her face radiating the afterglow of their lovemaking.

After resting for a while, her consciousness, which had soared to the clouds, returned to her body.

"Asano-kun... I made a mistake again."

Once she regained consciousness, she softly called out the name of the man who was currently holding her, her voice tinged with regret and sadness.

Makoto Asano kissed the corner of her lips and comforted her, "No, Eriko, this time it was my fault, so now we are accomplices in making the same mistake."

As he spoke, he raised his head again, looked directly into Eriko Miyajima's eyes, and asked earnestly, "So, Eriko, I'll ask you one more time—would you like to be with me?"

A flicker of pain crossed Eriko Miyajima's eyes as she said hesitantly, "Asano-kun, I..."
