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

In any case, she is a very mature person and naturally doesn't need anyone to coax her.

And although she was now blushing and looked quite angry.

But in reality, her favorability rating didn't decrease; instead, her depravity rating increased by 5 points, reaching 19 points.

Such gains were enough to satisfy Makoto Asano.

In short, just to be on the safe side, Makoto Asano started heading home as soon as he discovered the anomaly.

However, to his surprise, Yamada Yuta had already passed out drunk before he even got home.

This made him feel fortunate, but also somewhat speechless.

After returning home, Makoto Asano silently watched Eriko Miyajima cover the drunk Yuta Yamada with a blanket, pour him water, wash the dishes, and wipe the table.

Although he noticed that Eriko seemed to be whispering something in Yuta Yamada's ear, he couldn't hear it clearly because the camera was positioned at the bedroom door.

However, he did have a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

I guess she couldn't bear the guilt any longer, so she decided to confess...

Although he had guessed the reason for Eriko's unusual behavior and knew what she wanted to say, Makoto Asano was not very worried.

Yuta Yamada is already drunk and asleep, so he probably didn't hear anything.

Moreover, judging from Eriko's previous behavior, she probably wouldn't be able to say it for a while. Today, she probably only mustered up the courage to speak after drinking. Fortunately, Yamada Yuta was a disappointment and fell asleep before he could even open his mouth.

I'll go over tomorrow and try to talk to her properly...

Although he had a lot to say and many questions to ask, he didn't rush next door to find Eriko Miyajima right now.

After all, in the other person's mind, Yuna Kanno is still living in his house. If he were to rush over and find out that he was lying, it would be bad.

Although he could easily brush it off with a scumbag line like "I just took her home because I missed you," which would still make Eriko happy.

But there's no need to do that. Eriko's favorability is already maxed out, and no amount of coaxing will increase it.

In addition, Makoto Asano also considered whether to take this opportunity to complete the mission, which was to prevent Eriko from confessing to Yuta Yamada and to perform the Great Harmony of Life with Eriko in front of Yuta Yamada.

However, in the end, he gave up on this plan.

Although Yuta Yamada was already drunk, who knows when he would wake up.

Moreover, Eriko's current state is clearly very strange, and Makoto Asano is unsure whether his actions will have any consequences.

In addition, he had already devised a plan to ensure the mission's perfect completion when it was first issued, so he was no longer prepared to take the risk.

In short, after saying all that, it boils down to one thing: the time is not right.

To put it simply: he chickened out.

So, seeing that the crisis was temporarily over, he took a shower and prepared to go to sleep.

After all, he was fighting two against one today, and the second one was acting like a madman, as if he wanted to take him down with him.

So after a hard day's work, even someone as physically strong as him was starting to feel the strain, since he hadn't taken any stamina potions.

However, out of caution, he still uploaded the surveillance footage to his computer and asked Lilith to keep an eye on things for him at night. After all, succubi are nocturnal creatures, so it wouldn't be a problem if they didn't sleep at night.

Not to mention that this lowly succubus has been staying at home all day doing nothing but watching anime and playing games since she appeared, and she's almost become a useless person.

However, despite his good intentions, Lilith would definitely not be willing until she saw him offer her something in return.

Upon hearing that he had asked her for help, Lilith immediately started crying and complaining that he had already accumulated nearly 20,000 points of pure love, yet he didn't even share any with her, and instead, he was stingy, giving her only 100 points a day.

Hearing her words, Asano Seiya felt a little embarrassed and quickly promised that if she was willing to help tonight, he would help her level up the next day.

As if afraid he would change his mind, Lilith immediately nodded in agreement, then revealed a sly smile.

It seems her memory and math skills aren't very good; she's forgotten that Asano Makoto had already fed her Pure Love Points eight times.

So even if we upgrade her level tomorrow, it will only cost an extra 100 points, which is nothing to Asano Makoto, who is now rolling in wealth.

But since she didn't notice that, there's no problem.

After making sure all the problems had been resolved, Makoto Asano fell asleep peacefully.

When he woke up, it was already past 2 a.m.

After being slapped awake by Lilith, he was still a little groggy, but when he saw the image of Yamada Yuta entering Miyajima Eriko's bedroom on the laptop screen that Lilith had moved in front of him, he instantly became fully awake.

As mentioned before, after becoming friends, Makoto Asano and Eriko Miyajima's relationship had reached the point where they could talk about almost anything.

So from Eriko, he also learned some rather private details, such as why the two of them, who were clearly a couple and seemed to have a close relationship, insisted on sleeping in separate rooms.

Actually, before they started renting a place, the two of them had somewhere to live.

When Yuta Yamada first joined the company, the company arranged employee housing for him.

However, after he brought Eriko Miyajima to Tokyo, it became somewhat inconvenient for the two of them to stay in a dormitory.

Because Yuta Yamada's staff dormitory was very small, with only one single bed, he gave the bed to Eriko Miyajima and slept on the floor himself.

After living like this for a month, the company suddenly issued a notice that employees were strictly prohibited from bringing their families to live in the dormitory. In addition, Yamada Yuta felt that this could not go on and felt that Eriko was being wronged, so he finally decided to rent a house.

At the time, Eriko Miyajima advised him: "You should save more money before thinking about renting a house. If you don't want to sleep on the floor, then we can sleep in the bed together. It's okay if it's Yuta-kun."

However, Yuta Yamada, who is both very traditional and chauvinistic, felt that this was disrespectful to Eriko Miyajima, and that even if they were to sleep together, it should only be after marriage.

So he ignored Eriko Miyajima's advice and insisted on renting a house instead.

Even after renting the house, he still chose to live in a separate room from Eriko Miyajima.

Well, to be honest, Makoto Asano was quite speechless when he heard about this.

However, he wouldn't say anything, since it was a good thing for him that Yamada Yuta was like this.

Therefore, Makoto Asano knew very well that someone as traditional as Yuta Yamada would not usually sneak into Eriko Miyajima's room.

But since he's doing this now, there must be something wrong with it.

Because Makoto Asano had Lilith install cameras between the two bedrooms, although he couldn't see the innermost part of the room or the situation on the bed, he could still see the doorway and a little further inside.

As he watched, Makoto Asano's expression grew increasingly serious, and even Lilith dared not make a sound to disturb him.

From his perspective, Yamada Yuta had already turned around and was about to leave after glancing into the bedroom.

But for some reason, he suddenly turned around and stood there blankly.

Makoto Asano didn't hear anything from the camera feed, but Yuta Yamada acted as if he had.

So it's quite obvious that Eriko accidentally said something while she was sleeping that he overheard, and it was probably something very serious.

Although he hasn't done anything yet, who knows what he might do next if he loses his temper?

Without a second thought, Makoto Asano got up, grabbed the spare key to the apartment next door, and headed out without even putting on shoes or a shirt.

Chapter 210 Hurry up and say it: Thank you, Asano-kun (3k)

Yuta Yamada is furious; this is perhaps the first time this honest man has ever been so angry.

He couldn't believe it, and couldn't understand why his girlfriend would betray him.

Is there something I did wrong? Or did I make a mistake?

But I've already tried so hard for her...

In order to be with her and to prevent her from staying in that dilapidated and impoverished rural area, I used all of my first month's salary to buy her gifts and bring her here, hoping she could experience the prosperity of the big city.

To make her more comfortable here, and to prevent her from being crammed into the cramped staff dormitory with him all day, he disregarded the pressure of monthly rent and ran around looking for the best place for her to live.

In order to marry her, he worked overtime every day and worked hard to save money to buy a house in Tokyo.

Indeed, I may have distanced myself from her a bit, but it was all for her sake!

Don't I want to be with her?

Yes, of course I want to.

If given the choice, who would want to work themselves to the bone every day and then have to endure the pressure of being laid off?

If it weren't for her, why would I work so hard? Why would I be so tired every day?

So ultimately, this is not my problem at all.

Thinking about this, Yuta Yamada even felt an impulse he shouldn't have had.

He no longer simply wanted to wake Eriko Miyajima and question her; he wanted to inflict violence on her as punishment for her betrayal.

The moment he realized this, Yuta Yamada was startled, and cold sweat even broke out on his forehead—he didn't understand why he had such a thought.

However, thanks to this, he was able to calm down and his thinking became clear again.

It was only at this point that he finally began to think about a question—whether he had misunderstood Eriko.

So, all he's heard her call out "A-Cheng" in his dream so far, and he doesn't even know who this so-called "A-Cheng" is, yet he's arbitrarily concluded that she's cheated on him and that she's betrayed him.

And ultimately, is Asano really interested in Eriko?

I don't think so... right?

He had previously advised me not to always be so busy with work, but to spend more time with Eriko, and not just once.

If he really had feelings for Eriko, he wouldn't have advised me like this, since it wouldn't do him any good.

In other words, Asano-kun should be fine, and the Makoto that Eriko mentioned might not be him at all.

……wrong.

Acheng should be Asano-kun.

Eriko has no friends here. The only person she knows who fits that description is Asano-kun.

So, in the end, it's still Eriko... Ah! I know!

Suddenly, Yuta Yamada had a flash of inspiration, and a conjecture came to mind.

"A-Cheng" is the name Eriko used to address Asano-kun, and that should be correct.

This nickname, if nothing else, at least indicates that the two of them have a very close relationship.

So why are the two of them so close?

Yuta Yamada couldn't help but recall his first argument with Eriko Miyajima.
