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

But since it didn't work this time, let's just forget about it. There's still plenty of time, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Makoto Asano shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore. He took a quick shower at the gym and then went home.

……

On a clear evening, about twenty minutes after sunset, the sky changes from warm to cool tones, presenting a tranquil blue.

It's rush hour, and people are all heading home from get off work and school at the same time. Buses, subways, and trains in Tokyo are packed with people.

Even people who commute by car can get stuck in traffic.

However, this had nothing to do with Makoto Asano; he still chose to take the train home.

Although it was a bit crowded, the speed at which I got home was fixed, and I wouldn't get stuck in traffic.

He was very lucky today; he got on the train as soon as he entered the station and even managed to snag a seat right away.

Although it's only two stops, it's so great to be able to sit and go home without being squeezed by others.

During the brief moment he sat down, Makoto Asano suddenly recalled the happy time he had spent at the hotel at noon.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he took out his phone to send a message to Yuna Kamino.

Good evening, Yuna! How was your day?

I've read it, but haven't replied.

Makoto Asano raised an eyebrow.

It's 5:20 PM now. The reason he's sending the message now is because the other person must have already finished class by this time.

Japanese high schools dismiss students very early; even if they need to participate in club activities, they would definitely have already left school by this time.

He used to attend Haicheng High School, so he knew about this very well.

Moreover, since they have all been read, there is no possibility that they were not seen.

"I suggest you don't ignore my messages, otherwise..."

Makoto Asano didn't finish his sentence, but the threat in his words was still there.

This time, the phone vibrated very quickly.

"I didn't see it just now, what's wrong?"

His tone was cold and distant.

It seems that after recovering from her initial confusion and panic, and after another afternoon, she has figured some things out.

However, Makoto Asano didn't seem to care and simply said to himself, "It's nothing, I just wanted to check on my little pet."

Still read, but no reply.

This time, Makoto Asano did not continue to threaten him. Unlike before, he understood why the other party was not responding now.

Moreover, threats become less effective if used too often.

So he just waited quietly until the train was about to arrive at Takadanobaba Station, when his phone vibrated again.

Yuna Kanno didn't say anything, but simply sent an angry little girl emoji.

Upon seeing this meme, Makoto Asano couldn't help but smile.

That was enough; Yuna Kanno was more obedient than he had imagined.

"I thought you were ignoring me again."

Makoto Asano said this deliberately, then continued, "How was school this afternoon?"

His question wasn't just about how Yuna Kanno was doing at school; it was also an attempt to find out if she had managed to fool him that afternoon.

"A few people asked me a few words of concern, but I brushed them off, and the teacher said there were no problems."

"Very good, Yuna, well done."

Makoto Asano breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It was his first time doing something like this, and he was very nervous. What if the other person suddenly decided to attack him? He didn't want to go to jail at such a young age.

After his doubts completely disappeared, he began to talk to Yuna about the reason why he had taken the initiative to contact her: "Let's get down to business. Are you free this Saturday?"

Yuna Kanno, behind the screen, gasped when she saw the message.

Based on what happened at the love hotel at noon, she had already guessed what Asano Makoto was planning to do.

She gritted her teeth and shouted in her heart: This pervert is definitely going to take over my body!

However, she did misunderstand Makoto Asano this time.

Makoto Asano just wanted to complete the mission, since the mission only had a two-week time limit, so it was better to finish it as soon as possible.

Furthermore, to avoid attracting unexpected attention, he deliberately chose Saturday instead of a school day to visit Yuna Kanno.

On the other side, seemingly lost in strange fantasies, Yuna Kanno's face was slightly flushed.

He'll definitely do this to me... and that to me then... No, no! That's absolutely unacceptable!

But this time it seems there's really no escaping it; he has evidence... Is my first time going to be taken by someone like this...?

No, no! Yuna Kanno! We can't give up! There must be a way!

After struggling with the decision for a long time, Yuna Kanno decided to give it a shot.

She picked up her phone and her fingers flew across the screen.

Chapter 25 Angel? Succubus?

After hesitating for a moment, Yuna Kanno replied with unusual firmness: "No time, what's wrong?"

However, after sending the message, she suddenly regretted it, regretting that she hadn't refused more gently.

She stared nervously at her phone screen, wondering what Makoto Asano would say to her, whether he would force her, or whether he would simply send her to jail in a fit of anger.

However, none of the things she had guessed happened. Makoto Asano replied quickly, and the content was quite unexpected.

"Great, let's go on a date then. Saturday morning at nine o'clock, see you at Shin-Okubo Station."

"No... Hey! Wait a minute, didn't you see I said I was busy?"

"I saw it, so what?"

Seeing Makoto Asano's nonchalant reply, Yuna Kanno angrily threw her phone aside, pounced on the bed, and remained motionless.

On the train, Makoto Asano waited for a long time but received no further news, so he simply put down his phone and shrugged.

The train arrived at the station, and Makoto Asano quickly walked back to his apartment building after exiting the station.

However, after taking the elevator back to his doorstep, he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, as if all his muscles were being pricked with needles.

But he gritted his teeth and insisted on taking out his keys to open the door.

But that's all there is to it.

The moment he stepped into his home, he collapsed in the entryway and lost consciousness completely.

……

The next afternoon, feeling a cold touch on his forehead, Makoto Asano woke up with a start and sat up in bed.

He stared blankly at the familiar room, wondering what had just happened. Before he could even turn around to observe his surroundings, a delighted voice rang in his ears.

"Mr. Asano, you're finally awake!"

Makoto Asano turned his head to look to the side and found a pretty figure sitting by the bed.

The afternoon sun shone through the window, illuminating her smile and casting a hazy white glow on her face.

For a moment, Makoto Asano thought he had seen an angel, and even wondered if he had died and gone to heaven.

However, recalling what he had done before, and realizing that even if he died, he would only go to hell to see succubi instead of angels, he began to doubt this and thus came to his senses.

It was only then that he noticed the figure sitting by his bedside; it turned out to be his neighbor, Eriko Miyajima.

Today she wore a white long-sleeved shirt on her upper body and a plain black knee-length skirt on her lower body.

Despite her casual attire, she still looked exquisite and beautiful. However, her hairstyle, which involved tying her hair up and letting it fall across her chest, left Makoto Asano speechless.

She seemed to really like this hairstyle; Makoto Asano had seen it several times in just two days, but as everyone knows, it's a very dangerous hairstyle.

"Mr. Asano, Mr. Asano? Why aren't you saying anything? Is there something still bothering you?"

"No, I'm just, just a little... ouch! I think I'm really not feeling well."

Seeing Eriko Miyajima's concerned question, Makoto Asano finally snapped out of his daze and hurriedly began to explain, but before he could finish, physical discomfort interrupted his words.

He suddenly felt a surge of fatigue deep within his body, exactly the same feeling he had after working overtime for several days straight without pay in his previous life.

In addition, he felt extremely sore and swollen muscles all over his body, and also had a faint pain.

He sat on the bed, hunched over, holding his head, occasionally letting out a muffled groan as he silently endured the pain.

Honestly, there was a moment when he really wanted to die; even if he died, he wouldn't want to continue suffering like this.

Just then, a cool sensation brought him to his senses a little more and lessened his physical pain.

Not long ago, he was able to wake up because he felt the same cold touch.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look over.

What came into view was the worried expression on Eriko Miyajima's beautiful face, and her soft right hand holding his wrist.

Makoto Asano suddenly froze.

Perhaps he never noticed, but he was lonely after being reborn into the new world.

Shortly after being reborn as a newborn baby in this world, he and his parents were involved in a car accident on their way home.

Although he was very lucky to survive, he was also unfortunate to become an orphan and be adopted by a children's welfare home, where he began to live alone in this world.

Although living alone can be lonely, I have enough money to buy whatever I want, and I own two houses so I don't have to worry about housing. So this kind of life isn't unacceptable.
