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

Before that, he needs to keep his body healthy.

Perhaps because he was a little tired from shopping with Konno Yuuka all afternoon, he fell asleep shortly after lying down on the bed.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up early tomorrow and spend a decadent and ambiguous day at home with Konno Yuuka.

Of course, this is all on the premise that nothing unexpected happens.

In the middle of the night, Makoto Asano was suddenly awakened by a rustling sound.

Then he felt something warm climb onto his bed.

Although his mind was still a little foggy from just waking up, he could still sense that someone had crawled into his bed.

After all, he had shared a bed with many other people by now, so when he noticed someone on his bed, he didn't think much of it and simply hugged the person as usual.

As soon as he hugged the person, he realized that the feeling of the person holding him seemed a little strange.

How to describe it?

It was a feeling that was both familiar and strange.

There's a sense of tension from long-term exercise, yet you can also feel a unique feminine softness.

She is neither as soft as Eriko Miyajima nor as thin as Yuna Kanno.

Although Makoto Asano sensed something was amiss, his still-unconscious mind wasn't strong enough to help him identify who the person was.

After embracing the person, he even subconsciously lowered his head and kissed the other person's forehead very affectionately, just like he always did for Eriko Miyajima and Yuna Kanno when they went to sleep.

After hugging for a while, he suddenly woke up with a start.

wrong!

Yuna and Eriko aren't with me today.

The person who just crawled into my bed...

who is it?

Time seemed to stand still. Cold sweat began to pour down Asano Makoto's back and forehead, and his heart began to pound.

Time and space seemed to have frozen.

Asano Makoto's eyes widened, feeling as if he could hear his own rapidly beating heart in the silence of the room.

Just now, less than a second after realizing that the person he was hugging was neither Eriko Miyajima nor Yuna Kanno, he realized the correct answer.

After all, if we exclude those strange and supernatural events, there is only one truth.

Makoto Asano could probably guess why Yuuka Konno would suddenly crawl into his bed.

It was nothing more than going to the toilet in the middle of the night, and since it was my first time staying here, I wasn't familiar with the layout of the house, and in my daze, I went to the wrong room and got into the wrong bed.

This accident was not her fault.

However, it's not entirely Asano Makoto's fault.

He was also confused, although it was indeed he who took the initiative to hug Konno Yuuka and kiss her.

But if he hadn't been woken up in the middle of the night by the noise of her getting into bed, and in his half-awake state he had mistaken her for someone else with whom he had had an intimate relationship, Makoto Asano would never have done such a thing.

But it's too late to say all this now.

Since the hug and kiss have already happened, there's no need to feel anxious about it anymore.

The most important thing now is to figure out how to clear up this misunderstanding.

Realizing this, Makoto Asano, who had fully woken up from his sleep, instantly calmed down.

At this moment, he was lying on his side on the bed facing the door, with his right hand outstretched and placed under Konno Yuuka's head as a pillow, while his other hand reached over her neck to hug her.

Makoto Asano didn't dare to move at all, and didn't even loosen his grip.

This is the best choice. If the other party asks about it and he hasn't come up with a solution yet, he can just close his eyes and pretend to be asleep, acting as if he knows nothing.

However, just as he was racking his brains for a solution, he suddenly noticed something strange.

Konno Yuuka didn't react at all to his hugs and kisses.

This is really unusual.

Even if she gets beaten or scolded, after he suddenly kisses her, Konno Yuuka will always look shy and bashful, right?

But she didn't say a word, and didn't even move.

Since his stamina reached eight o'clock, Makoto Asano has been able to vaguely see things in the dark, not to mention that the moonlight tonight is exceptionally bright, and the curtains in the bedroom are not drawn.

So when he lowered his head, he immediately saw Konno Yuuka's face.

His eyes were closed and his breathing was steady, as if he were asleep.

No... what if, it seems, she's just asleep?

Makoto Asano couldn't help but think this.

However, he knew he couldn't take any chances, so after carefully observing Konno Yuuka's sleeping face for a while, he opened the system panel and took another look.

Favorability... well, it's the same as before I went to sleep, still 70 points, it hasn't decreased.

Although the stable value fluctuates, this is normal, because this attribute itself is always fluctuating, even when you are asleep.

After seeing the data he wanted, Makoto Asano couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Konno Yuuka is probably really asleep.

But honestly, given the current situation, even if she wasn't asleep and knew what Asano Makoto had just done to her, it wouldn't matter anymore.

It's better this way.

Since her favorability rating hadn't dropped, and she hadn't run away from his embrace, and even after he kissed her, she didn't react much, but instead continued to pretend to be asleep.

Doesn't this mean she tacitly approved of it and wasn't that disgusted by her hugs and kisses?

Realizing this, and unable to fall asleep for a while due to the tense and exciting accident that had just happened, Makoto Asano suddenly had a bold idea.

He still didn't let go of his hand, but instead softly called out, "Ms. Konno? Why... are you in my bed?"

Got no response.

However, Makoto Asano noticed that Yuuka Konno subconsciously held her breath.

Although her breathing quickly returned to normal, Makoto Asano, who had been watching her expression closely, noticed the abnormality immediately.

Are you really pretending to be asleep?

Instantly, Makoto Asano's lips curled up.

He simply raised his left hand, placed it on Konno Yuuka's shoulder, and gently shook it before asking again, "Konno-san? Konno-san? Um...asleep?"

Still no response.

Moreover, this time, Konno Yuuka's expression didn't even change much; she looked as if she were really asleep, and in a very deep sleep at that.

"She really fell asleep... Phew, that scared me to death, thank goodness she wasn't discovered."

"Why did I do that just now? Was it because of that strange dream? No... it's probably because I've been lonely for too long..."

Makoto Asano muttered softly in a voice that was both reassuring and lonely, as if he were talking to himself.

"I'd better go sleep on the sofa, otherwise I really don't know how to explain it to her tomorrow morning."

"But what if she asks me tomorrow why I slept in my room? Hmm... I'll just tell her she was too drunk last night and insisted on sleeping in my room, so I had no choice but to give up my room."

After speaking his "plan" in a volume loud enough for Konno Yuuka to hear clearly, Asano Makoto clearly saw that Konno Yuuka's face turned slightly red.

However, he didn't point it out. Instead, he gently lifted Konno Yuuka's head slightly, preparing to pull his right hand out from underneath.

Konno Yuuka readily raised her head in response to his movement, allowing him to easily escape.

Immediately afterwards, he slowly and gently climbed off the bed, put on his indoor shoes, and walked to the door, as if he were about to go out.

However, just as he reached for the doorknob and even slightly opened the door a crack, he suddenly turned his head and said without warning, "Ms. Konno, you weren't actually asleep. You were pretending to be asleep, weren't you?"

Once again, Konno Yuuka's breath caught in her throat, and her body tensed up unconsciously due to nervousness.

Of course, since she was lying on the bed with her back to the door, Makoto Asano couldn't see her expression.

But Makoto Asano had already noticed very keenly that when he raised his question, Yuuka Konno's body trembled slightly.

To be honest, even without noticing this, Makoto Asano was certain that she was awake.

Just as he very "gentlemanly" climbed out of bed, a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind: "[Konno Yuuka's Affection +1]".

In addition, Konno Yuuka's stability value inexplicably increased by 5 points, breaking through the 80 mark again.

It's important to know that although this attribute changes every moment, the magnitude of the change is usually very small, only a little or two.

But her score suddenly jumped by 5 points, which means there must be something affecting her.

However, Makoto Asano didn't have time to think about these trivial matters at the moment. After speaking but not receiving a response from Yuuka Konno, he turned around and walked back to the bedside.

He slowly leaned down, brought his head close to Konno Yuuka's ear, and whispered, "Miss Konno, stop pretending to be asleep. I know you're not asleep, right?"

no respond.

Asano Makoto stood by the bed, watching her back, a strange smile creeping onto his lips. He spoke again, "Miss Konno, if you keep this up, then I'm going to do something naughty."

Konno Yuuka still did not respond.

It seems that although Makoto Asano's words, spoken with absolute certainty, indicate that he is convinced that Yuuka Konno is pretending to be asleep, she is still prepared to continue the charade.

Makoto Asano didn't know why Yuuka Konno was pretending to be asleep, but whatever the reason was, it didn't matter and wouldn't affect his next move.

He slowly raised his hand and reached it towards Konno Yuuka.

This time, however, he didn't put it on Konno Yuuka's shoulder, but instead placed it directly on her thigh.

In just a moment, Makoto Asano felt it; her body had completely tensed up, showing just how nervous she was.

Even so, she still did not respond and continued to play dead.
