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

As for Eriko, she would probably close her eyes and cover her face with a shy expression, lying on the bed looking like she was at his mercy.

If you continue to force her to take off her clothes herself, she'll probably mutter something like "pervert" under her breath while hesitantly taking off her clothes one by one.

Thinking about this, Makoto Asano's thoughts inevitably wandered.

However, Konno Yuuka's voice instantly pulled him back from his reverie.

"What are you thinking?"

Noticing that he was lost in thought, Konno Yuuka suddenly asked a question in a noticeably unfriendly tone.

Hearing her sudden question, even though he knew perfectly well that she couldn't possibly know what he was thinking, Asano Makoto still instinctively broke out in a cold sweat.

A woman's intuition is truly terrifying.

Next time, don't think about other women in front of a woman...

Having learned his lesson, Asano Makoto secretly made a decision in his mind while somewhat guiltily replying, "It's nothing."

However, perhaps it was his subconscious glance to the side that caused Konno Yuuka to misunderstand something.

She visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then muttered under her breath, her voice tinged with disappointment and relief, "Hmph, I knew he wouldn't dare."

Although her voice was very weak, Asano Makoto was sitting face to face with her at that moment, and she had even come closer to him on her own.

Although she had just stepped back slightly out of fear, Makoto Asano could still hear her talking to herself.

Asano Makoto didn't know why Konno Yuuka still held onto a sliver of hope, but it didn't matter. He had already decided to teach this stubborn and vain model a lesson today.

So, taking advantage of the moment when Konno Yuuka turned to look at him again, seemingly wanting to say something to argue, Asano Makoto pounced on her without her noticing.

"Ah ah--!"

Konno Yuuka never imagined that Asano Makoto would actually make a move.

Moreover, because the two were so close, she didn't even have time to react before she was tackled onto the sofa.

Even after being tackled, she only let out a scream instinctively, and then froze there.

She lay sprawled on the sofa with her long gray hair loose. Asano Makoto pressed his hands on her shoulders, spread his legs apart with his knees on either side, and pressed his entire body against her, making it impossible for her to move.

Despite being treated so roughly by Asano Makoto, Konno Yuuka found herself inexplicably mesmerized the moment she saw his face so close to hers.

She noticed that Asano Makoto seemed very happy at that moment, his eyes were squinting with laughter, and even his gaze seemed to be filled with joy.

A sly, mischievous smile played on his lips, but instead of making him appear timid, it added a touch of devilish charm to his appearance.

Without realizing it, Konno Yuuka suddenly blushed, and her breathing became slightly heavier.

She stared at it for several seconds before finally snapping out of her daze, abruptly turning her head to face the back of the sofa and closing her eyes.

Asano Makoto's face was so close that she felt as if she could feel his hot breath.

And for some reason, seeing that smiling face, Konno Yuuka felt as if she were seeing the sun, so dazzling that she didn't dare to look directly at it.

Chapter 275 The Carousel (3k)

Although she didn't dare to look at Makoto Asano at all, perhaps subconsciously she still thought he wouldn't do anything to her, or perhaps she simply forgot.

Surprisingly, Konno Yuuka did not struggle or resist at all, and did not even move.

She instinctively turned her head away, closed her eyes, and then raised her hands, crossing her forearms to cover her completely red face, looking like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Seeing her self-deceiving behavior, Asano Makoto's smile grew increasingly unrestrained, and he couldn't suppress the curve of his lips.

"Well, Ms. Konno, are you sure you want me to see it again?"

With a smug look on his face and a hint of mockery at the contrast in Konno Yuuka's demeanor, Makoto Asano asked with a grin, "If you're willing to say to me, 'I'm sorry, I'll never dare to joke with you like that again,' I might consider letting you off the hook."

His original intention was to give Konno Yuuka one last chance to change her mind.

After all, he originally only intended to tease her a bit with this joke, to lower her sense of shame, to get her used to this kind of joke that went a little too far, and to change the way he interacted with her.

But if things really escalate to that point, he won't know what to do, because this is the first time he's made such a joke, and he needs to be mindful of the most basic boundaries.

However, to his surprise, after hearing his words, Konno Yuuka actually moved her arms that were covering her cheeks up slightly, revealing her eyes that had reopened, and turned her head back to look at him.

After glaring at him fiercely, Konno Yuuka suppressed her nervousness and shame, biting her lip and saying, "What are you talking about!? I already said, I'm serious! You can look if you want, even if you strip me naked, I won't say a word."

"You've been dawdling like this for so long, are you going to watch it or not? If you're too scared to watch, then let go of me!"

Looking at the stubborn expression on her face, which was filled with shame and indignation, Asano Makoto raised an eyebrow in surprise.

What he didn't know was that if he hadn't said those words, things probably wouldn't have developed to this point, Konno Yuuka's attitude wouldn't have been so firm, and she would have soon begged for mercy with a sob in her voice because she couldn't bear the shame in her heart.

But after Makoto Asano said those words, the nature of the matter completely changed.

Konno Yuuka is a girl who is very concerned about her image.

Once she says something, she's unwilling to take it back; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to be stubborn and let the situation develop to this point.

But is this a problem for Makoto Asano?

No problem at all.

He said he didn't know what to do, simply because he was too embarrassed to coerce Konno Yuuka into doing something he didn't like.

But did he use coercion this time?

Not at all.

From the beginning until now, it was Konno Yuuka who made him see it. He didn't say anything, but instead kept advising her to think it over and even gave Konno Yuuka a chance to change her mind.

Since that's the case, he has no reason to easily let go of this fat sheep that has delivered itself to his doorstep.

Moreover, it must be said that Konno Yuuka's current appearance—with her long hair disheveled and clothes in disarray, lying on the sofa, her stubborn expression resembling that of a female knight from certain doujinshi who constantly shouts "Gu! Kill me!"—is undeniably alluring.

In conclusion, now Asano Makoto has no choice but to do something to bully her.

As for whether she might lose favor because of this...

It's fair to say there's a considerable possibility.

However, it's not a big problem. Currently, her favorability rating is 71 points, and the stability value is 82. Even if it drops a little bit, it won't matter.

Besides, Makoto Asano didn't intend to go too far.

Faced with Konno Yuuka's stubborn response, Asano Makoto said nothing, but smiled softly at her, and then reached out his right index finger to gently hook her collar, and began to slowly pull it out, just as she had done before.

Although his hands weren't very well-behaved, Makoto Asano's gaze never left Yuuka Konno's eyes; he kept staring at her.

This instantly put Konno Yuuka, who had been feeling a little nervous because her collar had been grabbed, at ease.

In her view, Makoto Asano's current actions show that he is still bluffing. If she can hold on a little longer, he will give up because he is afraid to take the final step.

In the end, I will be the victor.

At this point, Konno Yuuka was completely out of her mind. She hadn't even considered why she had to win this meaningless battle.

She didn't stop Asano Makoto's actions, but stared at him intently, her eyes even carrying a hint of provocation and expectation.

Asano Seiya remained silent, simply continuing to gaze into Konno Yuuka's eyes and meet her gaze.

However, his hands showed no sign of stopping, continuing to slowly and steadily widen Konno Yuuka's collar.

Finally, the neckline was pulled up to its maximum and could not be pulled out any further, and Makoto Asano's right hand also stopped.

Seeing that he had stopped what he was doing but still hadn't looked away, Konno Yuuka finally couldn't help but reveal a "victorious" smile on her face.

Just then, Makoto Asano suddenly revealed a mysterious smile and said, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you something."

"……what?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to remind you that your underwear is still in the laundry basket and hasn't been washed yet. If you don't wash it soon, you might not have any clothes to wear all day."

Konno Yuuka was a little stunned. She didn't expect Asano Makoto to suddenly bring up her underwear at this moment, so she didn't react for a moment.

When she realized what Makoto Asano meant, she instinctively opened her mouth wide and immediately reached out to cover her collar with her hands, but it was too late.

After speaking, Makoto Asano quickly lowered his head.

By the time Konno Yuuka finally covered her collar again, Asano Makoto had already glanced at her several times and then looked up at her from above.

After regaining her senses, the smile on her face completely disappeared, replaced by a shocked expression with wide eyes and an open mouth. Her smile then shifted entirely to Makoto Asano's face.

That was the smile of the "victor".

Konno Yuuka crossed her arms over her chest, her face flushed crimson: "You, you...you you you—! Ahh ...

So shocked was she that she couldn't utter a complete sentence while looking at the wistful expression on Makoto Asano's face. In the end, she just screamed.

Seeing her adorable reaction, Makoto Asano sent a portion of his consciousness into the system interface.

The favorability rating didn't decrease at all; it only fluctuated wildly, but it remained around 78 points.

In other words, Konno Yuuka didn't dislike the submissive behavior he had just done.

Realizing this, Makoto Asano could no longer maintain his smile and became even more unrestrained.

However, there's a Chinese idiom that perfectly captures this: "Extreme joy begets sorrow."

Just as Makoto Asano's lips were about to curl into a wide smile, tragedy struck.

"Asano-kun, you pervert!!!"

Konno Yuuka launched a counterattack.

Makoto Asano watched as the model, still pinned beneath him, raised her arm and swung it toward him.

However, he was powerless to do anything about it.

too fast.

So fast that it was impossible to see clearly; so fast that it left afterimages.

It's no exaggeration to say that Makoto Asano even felt like he heard a sonic boom.

When those soft little hands came into his sight, for some reason, he suddenly felt that time had slowed down countless times, and at the same time, images of his past experiences began to flash before his eyes.

There are scenes of Risa's first encounter with Eriko, scenes of her playing a game with Yuna in an alley, and scenes of her carrying Yuna in her room while playing A...

There are even images of him working overtime through the night in that shady company before he died suddenly in his previous life.
