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

However, one thing is beyond doubt.

That is, he truly loves Yuna Kanno.

At the same time, he also likes Eriko Miyajima, and he may very well like even more people in the future.

Men are rather pathetic creatures, driven by the male animal instinct to reproduce, they tend to fall in love with every woman they meet.

Of course, as a mature man with a sense of social morality, one should try to restrain one's animal instincts and strengthen one's sense of responsibility. Only in this way can one be called a man who dares to act and take responsibility.

However, Makoto Asano couldn't do it.

He lacked any sense of social morality, was immature, and was unable to control his instincts.

So he wasn't a real man.

But he doesn't care either.

Indeed, he cannot guarantee that he will only fall in love with one person.

The only thing he could guarantee was that his love for everyone was equal, and that this love would never fade away.

In reality, humans are not creatures that are particularly sentimental.

When in love, the human body secretes many hormones related to love.

One of the hormones that can cause infatuation and pleasure is called phenylethylamine.

This hormone makes people desperately want to stay with their romantic partner.

However, the peak concentration of phenylethylamine will only last for a maximum of six months to four years.

And that's the length of time it takes to fall in love.

In other words, love that lasts until death goes against human nature.

Even so, Makoto Asano still has the confidence to love them for a lifetime.

He dared to place his hands on "The Selfish Gene" and "Evolutionary Psychology" and swear to the gods—I will go against my instincts and defy my nature to love them forever.

On the other side, after hearing Makoto Asano's answer, even though she already knew the answer in her heart, Yuna Kanno couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest and her breath caught in her throat.

She gritted her teeth and asked again, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible, "Besides...besides Ms. Eriko...is there anyone else?"

Asano Makoto remained silent and did not answer.

Or perhaps he didn't know how to answer the question because he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't fall for someone else in the future.

Noticing his silence, Yuna Kanno suddenly understood everything, and she felt even more heartbroken, as if her chest had been ripped open and torn apart by a knife.

But perhaps it was because he already knew what kind of scumbag Makoto Asano was, and had even witnessed his intimacy with Eriko Miyajima.

So despite the immense pain in her heart, Yuna Kanno is no longer unable to accept this fact.

In the end, despite having countless words she wanted to say, Yuna Kanno simply resignedly said, "So... that's how it is."

"Sorry, it's all my fault."

Asano Makoto immediately apologized in a low voice.

He was prepared to be scolded by Yuna Kanno, or even to be dumped by her.

In addition, he has also planned what he will do next.

He will take the initiative to win back Yuna Kanno and build a new bond with her.

Yes, despite having admitted his mistake, Makoto Asano will not let Yuna Kanno leave, but will continue to hold her firmly in his grasp.

After all, Makoto Asano is a scumbag.

This time, however, he will properly develop his relationship with Yuna Kanno and suggest an equal relationship with her, instead of treating her as some kind of "star power" or "little pet".

Although Asano Makoto had long since abandoned such thoughts, and from the very beginning he simply wanted to use these things to threaten Kanno Yuna in order to complete the mission.

However, breaking down the previously established unhealthy relationship and rebuilding bonds is also a very necessary thing.

In short, Makoto Asano had already made up his mind at this moment.

Even though a full level of submission would limit Yuna Kamino and prevent her from doing anything detrimental to herself, she certainly wouldn't forgive herself this time.

Therefore, Yuna Kanno's next sentence stunned him on the spot.

Jinno Yuna slowly raised her head, looked directly into Asano Makoto's eyes, and said earnestly, "No need to apologize, Master. I'd rather see you happy than feel guilty—just don't forget me."

Looking at Makoto Asano's unexpected expression, which seemed to say, "I can't believe you would say something like that," Yuna Kanno almost burst out laughing.

However, she quickly regained her composure, put on a serious expression again, and said calmly, as she had planned, "So, I hope that when you do these things in the future, you won't leave me behind."

"It shouldn't be a big deal if you let me know beforehand who you were with and what you did, right?"

Chapter 188 Becoming His Manager

"Master, it shouldn't be a big deal if you just let me know beforehand, right? Maybe I can even help you out."

As she spoke, a small but incredibly dangerous smile appeared on Yuna Kanno's face.

Upon hearing this, Makoto Asano was completely stunned.

Not right.

Something is wrong.

I have absolutely no idea what she's thinking.

Generally speaking, how could a normal person react like this after experiencing these things?

While it's understandable that reality and assumptions might differ to some extent, how could the difference be so great?

Could it be... a trap?

It's understandable that Makoto Asano would have such doubts, after all, Yuna Kanno's behavior was really too strange and completely baffling.

But in reality, what she just said didn't hide any ulterior motives; on the contrary, it was her true feelings.

Because she never intended to have Asano Makoto all to herself.

After asking Makoto Asano if he still liked her and receiving an affirmative answer, she was certain that Makoto Asano would never abandon her.

After being asked the last two questions whether she liked Eriko Miyajima and others, and receiving affirmative answers, she finally understood something.

That is, I can never possess Makoto Asano's heart.

Because he is an outstanding person, with excellent looks and family background, many women will definitely be interested in him and try to get close to him using all sorts of methods.

And since he is a very lecherous pervert, he will definitely find it hard to resist those temptations, and he will surely be cheated out of everything.

In addition, he is very gentle and will definitely take responsibility for his actions.

Just as he wouldn't abandon me for Eriko Miyajima, he certainly wouldn't abandon Eriko Miyajima for me, or any other woman for me and Eriko Miyajima.

Therefore, more and more women will surround him in the future, good and bad, all kinds of people.

Since that's the case, instead of foolishly trying to win all his love, it's better to take advantage of being his first love and occupy the closest position to him as much as possible.

Indeed, I am now nothing more than my master's little pet.

However, as long as his plan succeeds, from today onwards, he will become the only person besides his master who knows everything about him.

If this can be achieved, then everything else, such as one's status by the master's side, will be irrelevant, and it's okay to continue being the master's little pet.

Because then, I will gradually gain my master's special favor, or at least most of his love.

In return, I will help my master screen women and keep out those shady women so that he won't be deceived.

I will stay by my master's side forever, becoming the one who manages everything for him, his "manager".

Thinking of this, Yuna Kanno couldn't help but laugh.

Upon seeing Asano Makoto still looking dazed and seemingly not quite understanding the situation, her smile, which was clearly without malice yet sent chills down one's spine, suddenly became even brighter.

This smile sent a chill down Asano Makoto's spine, who had been staring blankly at her, but it also brought him back to his senses.

Only then did he finally come to his senses and realize what Yuna Kanno meant by what she had just said.

As for the answer... Although he felt guilty towards Yuna Kanno, he would definitely refuse the request.

Let's leave Konno Yuuka aside for now; there's no need to jump to conclusions about something that's completely unrelated.

The situation is even more dire for Eriko Miyajima; she's already been discovered.

But what will happen when he tries to win over Risa Kanno?

Should I tell Yuna the truth too?

impossible.

Is there really anyone in this world stupid enough to say to a woman who likes him, "I want to sleep with your mother"?

Maybe so, but at least Makoto Asano isn't that kind of idiot.

So, after regaining his senses, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately began to refuse, saying, "Yuna, I—"

However, he had barely started speaking when he was interrupted by Yuna Kanno, who had a bright smile on her face.

She spoke rapidly, "If Master is unwilling, I will tell Eriko everything you did to me."

Makoto Asano paused for a moment, his mouth still opening and closing unconsciously, but he couldn't bring himself to say the words of refusal.

Because Yuna Kanno spoke very bluntly, he immediately realized what she meant.

Although he knew perfectly well that she would never do such a thing, and that her words now were more like throwing out a bargaining chip to remind him, Asano Makoto couldn't help but ask, both amused and annoyed, "Are you threatening me?"

"Yes."

Now that things have been made clear, Yuna Kanno naturally won't try to hide anything or say anything like "nothing happened."

A slightly serious expression appeared on her face, and she nodded, saying, "Just like what you did to me before, I'm threatening you—if you don't agree to my request, I'll tell everyone what you've done."

Hearing this threat, Makoto Asano found it even more amusing and couldn't help but ask again, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you'll use what you did before to send me to prison?"

Yuna Kanno gently shook her head and continued to answer her own question in a serious tone: "I'm not afraid, because I know that Master is a very gentle person and will take responsibility for me to the end, so Master, you wouldn't do that."

As she spoke, she smiled again, her face sly, and said, "And even if you, Master, are an irresponsible bastard who doesn't care about my feelings at all, you would never do that. After all, you're so smart, Master, you can't possibly think that you won't be punished for all the things you've done to me, right?"
