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

He didn't expect that not only would Yuna Kanno take the initiative to contact him, but she also seemed to want to meet him.

Although he spent the whole day playing outside with Yuna Kanno yesterday and didn't do anything particularly outrageous, Makoto Asano was actually quite aware of what was going on.

He knew it was just a dream and a date, and it was impossible for it to reverse his reputation with Yuna Kanno.

Moreover, the system doesn't lie.

After yesterday's date, although Yuna's affection for him increased by 30 points, her total affection level was still -10, so Yuna probably still dislikes him a lot.

Therefore, Makoto Asano suddenly realized that something was wrong, and the look of surprise on his face disappeared.

After all, Yuna Kanno, whose affection for him is negative, is trying to avoid him as much as possible, so why would she want to see him?

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Could it be a fraud?

Or did she suddenly realize something and decide to explode at me?

Could she have already called the police and was planning to lure herself into a trap?

Just as Makoto Asano was wondering with a look of suspicion why Yuna Kanno had contacted him this time, his phone suddenly vibrated again.

He subconsciously looked down and saw that on the left side of the phone screen, in the chat bubble of Yuna Kanno, it clearly said:

Why are you ignoring me?

—I'm at Shin-Okubo Station now, could you come over here?

Upon seeing her second reply, Makoto Asano broke out in a cold sweat, and even his feet, which had just stepped into the station, stopped in his tracks.

Chapter 43 Stockholm Syndrome?

Seems like there's nothing wrong?

Makoto Asano put down his phone, looked up, and glanced at the scene inside the station. He found it to be the same as before, bustling with people.

Most importantly, there was no situation where a group of people in police uniforms or civilian clothes were eyeing the surroundings menacingly.

He had already realized that he had been overthinking things.

He was just confused, because according to his observations over this period of time, the progress of winning over Shinno Yuna was very smooth, and in theory, she shouldn't do anything to him directly anytime soon.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and his anxiety was completely put to rest.

He picked up his phone again and replied to Yuna Kanno, "I'll be there soon, wait where you get off." He stood there for three or four minutes before entering the station and walking toward the agreed-upon spot.

It has to be said that the gold color was too eye-catching. Before he even reached his destination, he caught a glimpse of Yuna Kanno with long tea-gold hair standing by the tracks.

Meanwhile, Yuna Kanno, who was looking around, also noticed the striking gold hair on Makoto Asano's head.

Seeing Asano Makoto walking towards her, she subconsciously lifted her foot to walk in his direction, but stopped a moment later.

If I just walk right over there, wouldn't it look like I really want to see that guy?

Hmph, I won't do that, that guy will definitely push his luck!

With that in mind, Yuna Kanno decided to stand there and wait for Makoto Asano to come over.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that she had arrived here very early today and had been hesitating about whether to message Makoto Asano and ask him to meet her.

In fact, Yuna Kanno should have been studying at home all day today. After all, it was a rare weekend, and it would have been a real shame for a good student like her not to use this time to study.

However, for some reason, when she sat down at the table as usual to study, she found that she couldn't concentrate at all.

The kiss Asano Makoto gave her when he left yesterday kept flashing through her mind.

Actually, she had been thinking about this since last night, and it wasn't until after 2 a.m. that she finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.

She thought she would feel a little better after waking up, but that wasn't the case at all. Yesterday's kiss from Makoto Asano kept replaying in her mind like a movie, making her unable to do anything else.

Therefore, she suddenly felt the urge to see Makoto Asano, so she took a car directly to the place where they had met on their last date, which was Shin-Okubo Station.

But once she actually arrived here, she suddenly hesitated and couldn't figure out what to say if she really met Asano Makoto. So she waited until now before finally deciding to send him a message.

Just as she was thinking about all these random things, Makoto Asano walked over.

Before Yuna could say anything, he teased with a mischievous grin, "What? Yuna, we just met yesterday, why do you want to see me again so soon?"

If it were the previous Yuna Kanno who heard this, she might have reacted very strongly in rebuttal.

But for some reason, she couldn't muster such thoughts at all today.

Even after glancing at Makoto Asano's face, she suddenly blushed and lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze.

Seeing her reaction, Makoto Asano was taken aback, unsure of what was going on.

He quickly opened Yuna Kamino's information panel and took a look.

No problem, the favorability is still -10, and the submission level remains unchanged at 15.

So what was her reaction...?

Asano Makoto pondered for a while, completely baffled, but couldn't come up with an answer.

However, he had an idea in his mind.

He walked straight to Yuna Kanno, put his arm around her waist, and his hands began to wander.

then……

[Kano Yuna's affection level +5.]

Upon hearing this notification sound, Makoto Asano was startled, and even the hand that was stroking Yuna Kanno's waist trembled involuntarily.

Fortunately, Yuna Kamino did not notice his strange behavior and kept her head down, not daring to look him in the eye. In fact, after he touched her, Yuna Kamino's face became even redder.

Makoto Asano remained silent.

This girl, does she have Stockholm syndrome?

Although Makoto Asano knew that people with problematic family backgrounds were prone to various mental health issues, he never expected to actually encounter one himself.

Of course, it's also possible that he simply guessed wrong, or that his favorability rating was so low that it was very easy for it to increase.

Even if Yuna Kanno really has a problem, he doesn't have any good solutions.

In some ways, this is actually a good thing for him... as long as she doesn't go to the other extreme.

Once she finishes her task, I'll take her to the hospital for a check-up.

Asano Makoto wasn't that bad. After making that decision in his heart, he stopped dwelling on it and asked with a smile, "So, what did Yuna suddenly call me over for?"

Hearing his question, Yuna Kanno finally reacted. After hesitating for a moment, she asked in a low voice, "...Yesterday...you know, why did you suddenly..."

Her voice was very soft and intermittent, and she didn't even finish speaking. If Asano Makoto hadn't been standing close enough and was the person involved, he probably wouldn't have been able to understand what Kanno Yuna was saying.

Even if he understood, he still didn't know how to answer the question.

Because when he kissed Yuna Kanno, he didn't have any other thoughts in mind; he simply wanted to complete the mission.

But he can't say that now. Although he's never been in a relationship, he's not stupid.

So after thinking for a moment, he still chose an ambiguous answer: "Didn't I already say? That's the compensation I'm entitled to."

"I should be the one receiving the payment, shouldn't I..."

Hearing Yuna Kanno's underestimation, Makoto Asano smiled and said, "Then consider it my reward to you."

Yuna Kanno blushed and gave a disgusted look, saying in a disdainful tone, "Only a fool would want a reward like that!"

However, Makoto Asano, who possessed the system, was naturally not fooled by appearances. Seeing that Yuna Kanno's favorability rating had not changed, he smiled and teased, "Is that so? Yuna took the initiative to contact me today, and I was very happy and wanted to give you another reward."

"I don't want it... Okay, then I'll go back first."

Asano Makoto sighed, looking genuinely disappointed, then released his arm from Jinno Yuna's and turned to leave.

Watching his back as he turned away, Yuna Kanno opened her mouth, but no words came out.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little regretful, wondering if she shouldn't have said that.

On the other side, Asano Makoto, who had already turned around and started walking out of the station, couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that Kanno Yuna hadn't moved yet.

But just then, he suddenly felt his clothes being tugged, and at the same time a voice came from behind him.

"Where are we going today...?"

The sound was very faint, but Makoto Asano still heard it.

He slowly turned around, looking at Jinno Yuna, who was blushing and lowering her head, avoiding his gaze. A mischievous smile crept onto his lips: "Are you sure? This time, the reward might be quite generous."

Upon hearing this, Yuna Kanno remained silent and did not say anything.

But after a long time, Makoto Asano still heard that faint, barely audible voice.

"Ah."

Chapter 44 Inquiring about Yuna Kanno's mental state

Makoto Asano initially didn't have any plans to take Yuna Kanno out to play.

His original plan was to go to the gym to work out, and maybe run into Konno Yuuka while he was there, and find an opportunity to slightly increase his affection for her.

But for some reason, apart from meeting Konno Yuuka the first time he went there, he never saw her again for a while. Even Shida Yoichi, who was a gym instructor, disappeared several times.

Moreover, even when Yoichi Shida is at the gym, he would immediately disappear from his sight every time he saw him, as if he was afraid of him.

Although Makoto Asano had Konno Yuuka's contact information, he didn't want to contact her without a legitimate reason, as it might arouse her suspicion.

So he can only go to the gym often to try his luck and see if he can run into someone.

However, because of the sudden incident involving Yuna Kanno, his plans for the day changed from going to the gym to taking Yuna Kanno out to play.

Nevertheless, Asano Seiichi couldn't think of a good place to take Kanno Yuna for a while.

Although he still had a task to take photos of Yuna Kanno, which was limited to the weekend and only had a three-week deadline, he decided to give up on the idea after thinking about it because the things he bought yesterday had not yet arrived.
