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

In fact, he also wanted to be gentler with Yuna Kanno, like that day when he spent a quiet day with her without doing anything.

But there's no other way, Yuna. In order for the mission to be completed smoothly, I have to ask you to do this one last time.

Author's note: More to come.

Chapter 174 The person who truly has feelings for you...

After much deliberation, Makoto Asano chose Eriko Miyajima and Yuna Kanno to complete the mission.

Logically speaking, his best choice should have been the Kamino mother and daughter.

After all, this mission is different from the last one, which had requirements regarding the level of favorability.

However, after careful consideration, he decided to put that option aside.

Ultimately, the purpose of this task is to get close to other targets in front of a certain target, deliberately make her jealous, and then find a way to appease her.

But what if the target of your affections doesn't get jealous?

Although it won't bring any punishment, it does mean the mission cannot be completed.

Then the Kamino mother and daughter are not suitable.

As a mother who deeply loves her daughter, Risa Kamno is unlikely to be jealous when she sees Yuna Kamno and Makoto Asano doing something together.

It would be more believable if she were shocked to the point of fainting.

Even if you switch those two around, the mission still won't be completed; just figuring out how to win over Risa Kanno would be a huge problem.

Needless to say, Konno Yuuka can be completely ignored and eliminated from the options for this mission.

That leaves only Eriko Miyajima and Yuna Kanno as potential targets.

When faced with the difficult question of who should be jealous, Makoto Asano didn't hesitate at all.

After all, there was only one option to begin with.

Eriko Miyajima couldn't choose; her emotions were very unstable.

Makoto Asano still vividly remembers her behavior when she turned into a yandere.

Keep in mind that at that time, Makoto Asano and she hadn't done anything that crossed the line of friendship.

If she were to realize the relationship between Makoto Asano and Yuna Kanno at this point, the problem would only get worse.

However, if Yuna Kanno were to take on this role, the situation would be much better.

Although she would still inevitably feel sad while being jealous, she was at least not as extreme as Eriko.

Moreover, a submission level of 100 points can directly eliminate the possibility of her self-destruction and significantly reduce the difficulty of appeasing her.

So, Yuna, I'll have to trouble you one more time. I'll make it up to you later.

With that thought in mind, Makoto Asano made a promise in his heart.

Then, he began to wait, feeling somewhat bored.

Perhaps because she was too exhausted from the day and night, Eriko Miyajima did not wake up for a long time.

Makoto Asano waited for a full four hours, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

However, he did not feel bored during those four hours.

Because he had been chatting with someone unexpected.

Moreover, it wasn't him who took the initiative to approach them; rather, the other party came to him on their own.

Around 3 p.m., Makoto Asano, who was feeling bored while waiting, suddenly received a lot of messages.

He pulled out his phone, looking completely bewildered, and then tapped on it, still looking equally bewildered.

Then, a beautiful selfie came into view, showing a tall and slender figure.

Her gray hair was tied into a sporty high ponytail, and she wore a black sports vest and matching yoga pants, which perfectly showcased her long and straight legs.

This photo is really well taken. Besides the fact that the person in the photo is very beautiful, the lighting and composition are superb.

It's clear that the person who posted the message put a lot of effort into taking this photo.

Besides this photo, the sender, whom Makoto Asano had labeled as "Konno Yuuka (Kana Ikeda)," also sent many other text messages.

"I'm at the firm's gym."

"I need to train twice as hard this time, otherwise I'll be doomed if I lose my figure."

"Sigh.jpg"

No matter how you look at it, it's all your fault!

"You're punished so you have to make me fried chicken again next time, or I won't forgive you!"

"Sulking.jpg"

"Are you there.jpg"

"Poke.jpg"

"..."

"..."

"Ah! The coach wants me to go to training."

"My manager told her about my cheating, and she seemed really angry..."

"Asano-kun, I'll stop here for now, we'll talk later!"

"Oh, and don't forget to reply if you see this!"

Asano Makoto was stunned for a moment as he stared at the long string of messages that were still being sent.

However, he soon couldn't help but smile and began replying to messages one by one on his phone.

In fact, after leaving his house last time, Konno Yuuka sent him many messages.

It's usually something like, "I've met up with my agent," "I'm on the bus," "We've arrived at our destination," or "I'm going to take photos tomorrow, I'm going to sleep now, goodnight."

She also adds many photos, some of herself and some of the places she visited.

Moreover, her speaking style back then was similar to her current one—both were loud and boisterous, talking non-stop.

About ten minutes passed after Makoto Asano replied to all the messages.

Perhaps it was because the first training session had ended and they were in a short break, Konno Yuuka sent another bunch of messages.

Asano Makoto responded promptly this time, and the two began to chat.

However, after only a few minutes of chatting, the other party suddenly went silent, probably because they were pulled away for training again.

Then another ten minutes passed, and Konno Yuuka came back to chat again, only to suddenly disappear again shortly after.

This intermittent chatter continued until 5:30, when she finished training and went to take a shower.

"That's settled then, Asano-kun. I'm going to take a shower now, we'll talk again tonight."

Looking at the last sentence on his phone screen, Makoto Asano couldn't help but laugh again.

Sure enough, those who said they were too busy to reply to messages were lying.

Those people are simply not interested in you and don't want to chat with you.

Someone who truly has feelings for you will still make time to reply to your messages, no matter how busy they are.

Just like now, even though she was extremely busy, Konno Yuuka still took the opportunity of her precious break time to chat with Asano Makoto.

It's worth mentioning that every time Makoto Asano replies to a message or finishes a chat, Yuuka Konno's inexplicably decreasing stability value will rise again.

Just like this time, her stable value, which had dropped from 65 to 59, has returned to 62.

Although they had a pleasant chat, Makoto Asano inevitably started to get bored again after Konno Yuuka went to take a shower.

During the four-hour wait, aside from Konno Yuuka's proactive enthusiasm, there wasn't much else to say.

They simply pass the time by spacing out, watching videos, and sneaking peeks at Eriko Miyajima's sleeping face.

Yuta Yamada, who was sleeping in the next bedroom, also woke up around six o'clock.

Although he had previously said he would work overtime until tomorrow night before returning, Makoto Asano was still somewhat worried.

So, in order to dispel any doubts in her mind, he opened the door shortly after Eriko Miyajima fell asleep.

His purpose in doing this was, of course, to ensure that Yuta Yamada could see him and Eriko Miyajima as soon as he left his bedroom, so that he would know that nothing had happened between them and could then go to work with complete peace of mind.

After all, one of the key and difficult aspects of this mission is that Yamada Yuta cannot return tonight or tomorrow, and at least not until the mission is completed by noon tomorrow.

Whether it was this clumsy method or not, Yamada Yuta did indeed show a bright smile after seeing Asano Makoto.

He thanked him and apologized repeatedly, even asking him to continue taking care of Eriko that night. His words made Asano Makoto almost feel embarrassed.

Immediately afterwards, the other person took a shower and changed clothes in about ten minutes, then said goodbye to Makoto Asano and went to the company to work overtime.

It looks like he won't be back until tomorrow night.

Realizing this, Asano Masaya finally felt relieved and sat down in his chair to continue waiting quietly.

Another hour passed, and it was seven o'clock when Eriko Miyajima slowly woke up.

Author's note: I was planning to take a nap at 6 pm yesterday, but I don't know if I was too tired or what, but I ended up sleeping until 2 am.

I overslept, which resulted in the author updating a chapter yesterday. I'm really sorry.

I updated three chapters today, totaling 7000 words, so I've made up for yesterday's missed update.

However, there won't be any extra chapters today; we'll start adding more tomorrow.

It seems like that pervert's sleep schedule is seriously off; he needs to adjust it as soon as possible.

(I woke up at 2 a.m. and haven't slept since. I'll go to sleep soon. I hope this helps.)

Oh, right, tomorrow and the day after are Saturday and Sunday, so the reviewers won't be working.

and so……
