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

So after realizing this, she accepted Asano Makoto's reasoning and believed him, while also feeling sorry for her earlier doubts about him.

For the same reason, in the end, not wanting Makoto Asano to know that she had misunderstood, Eriko Miyajima directly changed the subject and loudly retorted, "Speaking of which, Makoto, it's one thing for you to buy these clothes, but those other... those shabby clothes, they don't seem to have anything to do with what you're talking about, do they?!"

The style, color, and material of cosplay costumes are completely different from normal clothes, and the "shiny clothes" that Eriko Miyajima muttered to herself were completely different from normal clothes on another level.

No matter how you look at it, these clothes are just common erotic costumes and have nothing to do with most cosplay outfits, except for a few that are inherently very suggestive.

Who would associate super short nurse uniforms, maid outfits, and semi-transparent tulle nightgowns with cosplay costumes?

Although there are often so-called cosplayers in China who wear these costumes claiming they are doing role-playing, well, their purpose isn't actually cosplay, but rather...

In Makoto Asano's view, this group of people was no different from the homeless girls who wandered around Okubo Park and Kabukicho Ichiban-gai every night.

And if I had to say, the girls in Japan are actually cheaper.

Of course, Makoto Asano only verbally expresses his disdain for the behavior of these so-called cosplayers; he will still watch them when the time is right.

As long as he doesn't spend money, these cosplayers are like bodhisattvas in his eyes.

He was already prepared to respond to Eriko Miyajima's sharp question.

This time, he's not going to shift the blame to anime fans.

He said very directly, "It really doesn't matter. I bought these clothes simply because I wanted to see you wear them for me."

When he said these words, he sounded like someone whose biggest secret had been exposed and who had given up all hope, his tone even carrying a hint of nonchalant indifference.

Upon hearing his blunt declaration, Eriko Miyajima's cheeks flushed instantly, and she blurted out instinctively, "Pervert...you idiot! Who would want to wear such...such strange clothes!"

It's rare to see Eriko Miyajima so emotionally charged. In the past, when she was shy, she would usually blush and look away, then lower her head and fall silent. This was the first time she had ever argued so passionately.

Although this is related to the fact that she couldn't refuse in the past but could refuse this time, it also indirectly shows how strong the shame in her heart is at this moment.

Upon hearing her refusal, Makoto Asano subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, because Eriko Miyajima's current reaction indicated that she no longer doubted the truth of the matter.

At the same time, Makoto Asano feigned regret, sighed, and said helplessly in a tone of sadness and disappointment, "Sigh... Eriko, you really don't like them, huh? I guess I'd better get rid of them..."

"Waaaaah... I, I didn't... I just..."

Upon hearing this, Eriko Miyajima was immediately put on hold, her face showing a conflicted expression.

Because of her love for Makoto Asano, she truly didn't want to disappoint her lover.

But these clothes were just too embarrassing for her to wear in front of Makoto Asano.

What? Asano Makoto saw you completely naked, and you still care about this?

These are completely different things!

In short, at this moment, Eriko Miyajima had a conflicted expression on her face, nervously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes from time to time, unsure of what to do.

Meanwhile, Makoto Asano, with an air of complete control, secretly smiled to himself as he quietly observed her reaction.

After watching for a while, Asano Makoto felt that the time was right and that continuing to tease her might backfire, so he prepared to change the subject and let Miyajima Eriko stop dwelling on the matter.

However, at that moment, Eriko Miyajima spoke first.

She first put on a serious expression and solemnly refused, "Acheng, although I really want to wear it for you, I really can't... these clothes? These clothes are just too embarrassing, I'm really too embarrassed to wear them."

Immediately afterward, while Asano Makoto was still stunned by her earnest reply, she blushed slightly, lowered her head, and muttered softly, "But... but those other ones... those that aren't so strange, I think, I think I can still... give them a try..."

When Eriko Miyajima spoke these words, her voice was not only intermittent, but also gradually became softer and softer.

If he hadn't been close enough and hadn't had good hearing, Makoto Asano wouldn't have been able to hear what she said at the end.

The process wasn't important; the important thing was that he heard it.

Therefore, after a moment of stunned silence, Makoto Asano's face revealed an expression of extreme excitement.

While Eriko Miyajima, who was standing in front of him, was looking down, she was also secretly raising her eyes to see Makoto Asano's reaction to her words.

Seeing his excited expression, Eriko Miyajima felt happy herself.

However, at the same time, perhaps fearing that Makoto Asano might make some strange request, she quickly added, "But let me make this clear first! I want to choose my own clothes! Um... Makoto? Did you hear that?"

"I heard you, I heard you. You choose, I'm going out now."

With that, Makoto Asano nodded vigorously and then turned and left the room, even closing the door behind him.

Before Eriko Miyajima could react, and before she could even open her mouth to say something, Makoto Asano had already walked out.

However, looking at the closed door and recalling Asano Makoto's eager and excited appearance just now, for some reason, a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Some people are just like that.

When they see someone they like happy, they feel happy themselves.

They become even happier when they are the ones making their loved ones happy.

Clearly, Eriko Miyajima is that kind of person.

Although she had just agreed to Makoto Asano's request, Eriko Miyajima couldn't help but blush as she turned around and looked at the wardrobe again, starting to rummage through it.

You won’t know if you don’t read it, but you will be shocked if you read it.

Aside from Makoto Asano's own clothes, 50% of the clothes neatly hanging in his wardrobe are strange, either revealing or not, like cosplay outfits; 30% are very erotic lingerie; and only the last 20% are ordinary clothes that don't look so strange.

In addition, the wardrobe compartments contained a large number of stockings of various colors, including stockings, knee-high socks, ankle socks, and fishnet stockings, as well as a very small number of underwear items that could only be described as modesty coverings.

Ah Cheng, that lecher... no, it must be because of that anime culture, right?

Just as everyone says, anime is really causing a lot of harm.

Hmm... I think it's best to let Acheng watch less of this stuff in the future...

Eriko Miyajima couldn't help but mutter a few words to herself, and subconsciously disbelieving that Makoto Asano was a pervert, she directly blamed the anime/manga fans.

Asano Makoto, the culprit who single-handedly created one more person in the world with stereotypes about anime, can only silently apologize in his heart.

Although her mind was still a bit of a mess, she considered that Makoto Asano was still waiting outside full of anticipation.

In order not to keep him waiting too long, Eriko Miyajima finally started searching seriously.

She wanted to find an outfit that wasn't too revealing... or at least a little bit revealing, something that was at least within her acceptable range.

Asano Makoto has a lot of clothes in his wardrobe, so she quickly found a very nice outfit.

She didn't know why, but the moment she saw this dress, she felt inexplicably that it suited her perfectly.

Most importantly, this outfit is not revealing, and the style is quite normal. It looks like a casual outfit, and you could even wear it outside without any problem.

So in the end, Eriko Miyajima chose this dress without even thinking about it.

The clothes fit perfectly, of course, and I was able to put them on without any problems.

This completely dispelled Eriko Miyajima's last doubts, confirming that the clothes were indeed bought for her by Makoto Asano.

What puzzled her was that although the rest of the clothes fit perfectly, only the chest area felt a bit constricting...

After thinking for a long time without finding an answer, she could only attribute the reason to Makoto Asano not knowing his exact size, so he bought something a little too small, or the clothes sent by the store did not match the size.

In short, feeling guilty for suspecting Asano Makoto without prior evidence, she didn't suspect that the clothes Asano Makoto bought weren't for her, but for Yuna.

But it doesn't matter now. She has changed her clothes and is at the bedroom door, taking deep breaths and trying to calm down her emotions, which are stirred by wearing clothes she has never worn before.

Finally, after calming down a bit, and with a hint of nervousness about how Makoto Asano would evaluate her, Eriko Miyajima slowly pushed open the bedroom door.

Author's note: Chapters 212, 213, 214, and 215 have been released with minor changes. If you haven't read them yet, please go back and check them out.

Then there are the updates that were missed yesterday and the day before, which have all been made up for today. Today's update is still missing a long chapter of 3000 words, which is Chapter 219.

However, after careful consideration, I'll postpone updating Chapter 219 until after 6 PM tomorrow. Including tomorrow's update, the total word count will be 7000 words. If I have the capacity, I'll add another chapter.

Actually, I originally planned to update Chapter 219 today, which is Friday, during the review holiday. However, due to the work schedule adjustment, the reviewers will have to work overtime tomorrow, so I'll just hold off for now.

P.S.: It's been a while since I asked for monthly votes, so I'm just asking for some.

Chapter 219 True Role-Playing (3k)

Standing outside the door, Makoto Asano remained calm, his face expressionless, as if he weren't the one who had rushed out of the bedroom just moments before.

While that's not entirely accurate, it's not far off.

Because his anxious demeanor just now was something he deliberately put on to make the act more convincing.

If he didn't act a little eager, how could Eriko Miyajima possibly believe he was really an anime fan who enjoyed watching cosplay?

Of course, it would be a lie to say he wasn't looking forward to it.

He really wanted to see Eriko in those clothes, but he wasn't that excited as he was just now.

Makoto Asano glanced at his phone and waited for about ten minutes before hearing the door open.

Makoto Asano subconsciously looked up, and then couldn't help but freeze in place.

He hadn't expected Eriko Miyajima to choose this option...

Wearing a white knitted turtleneck sweater, a light blue overcoat, and a black pencil skirt, she looked like a snow woman straight out of a manga.

Yes, that is the heroine in the movie No. 264883, which was once very popular and even had a second part, "人发き合いがku手な无码人の雪女さんと呪いの Thumbwheel".

How should I put it? This role is really perfect for Eriko Miyajima in every way.

To Makoto Asano's slight disappointment, Eriko Miyajima only changed her clothes; she didn't put on her blue and white wig or wear black pantyhose.

However, Makoto Asano probably knew the reason.

The Snow Woman's clothes are all very common styles that can be bought anywhere. Moreover, the quality of normal clothing is much better than that of cosplay outfits that focus more on appearance. It goes without saying which normal person would choose.

So apart from the wig, all the other parts of this outfit were bought and put together by Makoto Asano piece by piece.

Because Yuna Kanno felt that the outfit didn't suit her, she never wore it, and the wig was never used either. After buying it, it was stored in the cabinet specifically for wigs and never touched.

Eriko Miyajima, who hadn't read the original work, naturally wouldn't know that the outfit also came with a matching wig, so she wouldn't specifically take one out to wear.

The same principle applies to pantyhose.

Stockings are consumables; once they're torn, you have to replace them. When you need them, you can just take a pair from the drawer where you store stockings.

Therefore, Makoto Asano did not take out a pair of black pantyhose separately to put with the outfit. As a result, Eriko Miyajima did not know that the outfit had a matching pair of pantyhose, and naturally did not wear it.

Even though Eriko Miyajima wasn't in her complete form at this moment, and wasn't even wearing the crucial wig, Makoto Asano still felt that she looked similar enough.

In the original work, the snow woman "Yukino Fuyuki" has a bun hairstyle, and at this moment, Eriko Miyajima's hairstyle is also a bun—after taking a bath, she simply put her hair up in a bun to make cleaning easier.
