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

"Is it delicious? This is my family's secret recipe hawthorn-flavored popsicle, it should taste great, right?"

As he spoke, Makoto Asano looked down at the scene.

Looking at the popsicle that showed no signs of melting, a wicked smile crept across his lips.

Yuna Kanno, who had been watching him closely, naturally noticed his smile.

After realizing what he wanted to do, Yuna Kanno's body trembled.

Just as Makoto Asano threw Yuna Kanno onto the bed, preparing to put his ideas into practice and end Chu Nan's life, the system notification suddenly sounded.

[Mission Completed, Rewards Issued: 50 Million Yen, Stamina Potion (Single Use), Master-Level Plumbing Repair Skills.]

[The next phase of the mission has begun: Please, lowly host, kiss Yuna Kanno in front of Risa Kanno within two weeks.]

[Reward for completing the mission: Three Nightmare Trial Cards.]

[Punishment for mission failure: Become a hot girl.]

Makoto Asano didn't pay much attention to the system notification. Even if there were new missions, they would only be within two weeks and wouldn't affect his current tasks.

However, he eventually stopped because shortly after the notification sound, he suddenly noticed a countdown timer appearing in the corner of his vision.

00: 59: 58

00: 59: 57

00: 59: 56

……

Is this... a one-hour countdown?

Makoto Asano felt a little surprised. He stopped what he was doing to support Yuna Kanno and took out his phone to take a look.

It is eleven o'clock in the morning.

I left home around 8 a.m., and considering the hour I wasted on the road and the two hours I spent adjusting the focus on Yuna Kanno after arriving at the hotel, it was indeed about time.

In other words, the countdown ends at midnight.

Or rather, this is actually a time limit until midnight.

But do I have any tasks that I need to complete before midnight?

Makoto Asano thought about it carefully for a moment, then suddenly gasped.

He remembered why he had gone out today.

[Side Quest - Strengthening the Body: Please go to the gym immediately to exercise and raise your stamina attribute to 7 points.]

Although there is no time limit for completing this task, there is actually a time limit within it.

— Head to the gym immediately for a workout.

The 12 o'clock deadline likely refers to the "immediately" in that sentence.

Thinking of this, he looked at Shinno Yuna, who was lying beneath him with her clothes disheveled.

what to do……

Having finally gotten a chance to get rid of Xiao Chu Nan's identity, are we just going to give it up like this?

Honestly, Makoto Asano doesn't want to give up, because even Yuna Kanno is now ready to accept him.

At this moment, Yuna Kanno, lying on the bed, had a flushed face, was breathing out hot air, and occasionally let out a soft moan.

Her dazed eyes, filled with lust, seemed to be asking Asano Makoto why he had stopped.

And all of her actions were naturally thanks to Makoto Asano's loving care.

Although he had never done it in practice, Makoto Asano knew what foreplay was and how important it was.

In order to lay a good foundation for pursuing the pure love route with Yuna Kanno in the future, he didn't want to give her a painful first time.

After nearly an hour of his clumsy caressing, Yuna Kanno successfully entered a state of arousal.

Placing someone like Yuna Kanno in front of him now is like presenting a feast to a beggar who has been starving for over a decade!

Looking at the alluring appearance of Yuna Kanno beneath him, Makoto Asano's breathing became increasingly heavy, as if he had ingested a large amount of highly concentrated sedum, and his gaze toward Yuna Kanno grew increasingly intense.

But in the end, he took a few deep breaths and mustered all his strength to pull his gaze away.

He succeeded; he successfully controlled his desires and prevented his small mind from controlling his big mind.

He knew very well what he should do and what he shouldn't do. He was more afraid of the system's punishment than of continuing to retain the identity of Chu Nan.

Although there was still an hour left, most people would probably have half an hour left after they finished.

However, given Xiao Acheng's stamina, it's not certain that he can finish within an hour.

Moreover, Makoto Asano is very clear about what kind of person he is.

He knew that after the first time, having already tasted the sweetness, he would definitely not stop there; he would have to do it at least two... three... five, six, seven, or eight more times.

It will definitely exceed the time limit.

There's no other way; I'll have to give up for now and do that side quest first.

Now that we have all of Jinno Yuna's personal information and leverage, she can't escape our grasp. It will be easy to take her down later.

With that thought in mind, Makoto Asano put on his pants under Yuna Kanno's questioning gaze.

Seeing Asano Makoto's actions, the doubt in Kanno Yuna's eyes reached its peak, and her hazy and lustful eyes gradually cleared up.

What's going on? Is he not continuing? Why did he stop? I had already...

No, that's not right, Yuna Kanno, what are you thinking?

Isn't that better? He's had a change of heart and is going to let me go. Isn't that a good thing?

Stop thinking about those messy things!

For some reason, seeing Asano Makoto stop what he was doing made her feel conflicted.

Meanwhile, Makoto Asano, who had decided to temporarily give up on capturing Yuna Kanno, had already put on his pants and was preparing to leave to do a side quest.

"Yuna-chan."

"Yes! Ah... I'm here, what's wrong, Master?"

Makoto Asano's two hours of focusing had been quite effective; Yuna Kanno now subconsciously calls Makoto Asano "master."

"Get yourself ready and go to school."

Asano Makoto looked into Kanno Yuna's eyes and said seriously, "You only took the morning off, right? If you don't go in this afternoon, it will be considered an absence."

"……what?"

A look of confusion crossed Jinno Yuna's eyes, as if to say: Are you kidding me?

"What? You don't want to go? Then let's continue."

Asano Makoto said with a playful expression, making a move to take off his pants again.

Yuna Kanno finally realized what was happening and hurriedly raised her hands, seemingly trying to stop Makoto Asano's actions: "Go! I want to go, Master, I want to go back!"

"Well, then I'll leave first."

"Wait! Um, what... Master, when can you send me the video..."

Yuna Kanno's thinking was very simple.

Since Makoto Asano has suddenly decided to let me go for no reason, why not try to win him over again?

If I can get him to delete the video, that would be great. Even if he doesn't agree, I won't lose anything.

"A video? Hmm... let me think..."

Makoto Asano crossed one arm over his chest and rested the other on his chin, looking as if he was deep in thought.

After a while, he revealed a mocking smile and said, "I'll delete the video when I'm done playing with it."

Upon hearing Makoto Asano's words, Yuna Kanno's expression, which had previously held a glimmer of hope, instantly dimmed.

However, perhaps because she had already mentally prepared herself for a negative answer, she didn't find Asano Makoto's response so unacceptable.

So in the end, she just muttered a complaint: "...How could this be?"

Seeing this, perhaps realizing that he had indeed gone too far, Asano Makoto gently comforted Kanno Yuna.

"Don't worry, as long as you keep obeying me, I will erase all this evidence."

That's what he said, but only he knows when he'll delete the video.

To put it bluntly, he was just making empty promises to Yuna Kanno.

Even so, a glimmer of hope rekindled in Yuna Kanno's eyes.

"Alright, that's enough. I'm leaving. You should hurry back to school and figure out a way to fool your family."

Makoto Asano held up his phone and waved it: "I think you're a smart person. You should know what you should and shouldn't say, so I don't need to remind you anymore."

With that, he left the hotel room without looking back.

Only Yuna Kanno remained behind him, her eyes fixed on his departing figure.

Is Chapter 19 about the mother?

The gym that Makoto Asano is going to is located near Waseda Station, just two stops from Shin-Okubo Station.

After leaving the hotel, Makoto Asano returned to Takadanobaba Station.

This is a transfer station between Shin-Okubo Station and Waseda Station, and it's also where he and Yuna Kanno got off the train earlier.

Since the morning rush hour had passed, Makoto Asano quickly boarded the train.

During the free time after arriving at his destination, he opened his system and began to check it.
