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

When he opened the door and saw Makoto Asano walking out of Eriko Miyajima's bedroom, he was somewhat bewildered.

After realizing what was happening, he subconsciously frowned: "Asano-kun? What are you doing here? And in Eriko's bedroom?"

His tone was rather unpleasant when he said that.

Of course, this was not because he suspected that Makoto Asano and Eriko Miyajima were doing something behind his back at home.

He didn't even think about it that way, assuming that Makoto Asano had come to see Eriko about something.

After all, Makoto Asano is a really good person, how could he possibly cheat on him behind his back?

The reason he spoke so aggressively was simply because he was late for work today, and not only was he criticized by his boss, but his attendance bonus for the month was also deducted, so he was a little resentful.

"How did I get here? Yuta Yamada, you certainly know how to ask questions."

"what?"

Hearing Asano Makoto's words, which contained a hint of anger and even addressed him by his name, Yamada Yuta was somewhat bewildered: "Asano-kun, what do you mean by that?"

He didn't know why Makoto Asano suddenly got angry.

As a result, the resentment in his heart was subconsciously reduced to almost nothing, and even his tone became slightly better.

Seeing his expression, Asano Makoto rolled his eyes in annoyance and said in a serious tone, "If I weren't here, Eriko would have been sick all day! And you're asking me why I'm here?"

"Oh? Eriko is sick?"

It was only then that Yuta Yamada belatedly realized that the reason Eriko Miyajima hadn't woken him up that morning, causing him to be late, was because she was sick.

He quickly changed his shoes in the entryway and hurriedly ran to the guest bedroom.

Upon arriving at the bedroom, Yuta Yamada was momentarily stunned.

Because Eriko Miyajima, sitting on the bed, not only had a rosy complexion and clear eyes, but apart from her lips looking a little dry and pale, she didn't look sick at all.

Despite his confusion, seeing the first-aid kit and thermometer on the bedside table, and trusting Asano Makoto and his girlfriend, Yamada Yuta believed Asano Makoto's explanation.

He quickly sat down in the chair that Asano Makoto had been sitting in and asked with some concern, "Eriko, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

Ironically, before going home, he was planning to question Eriko Miyajima about "why she didn't wake him up in the morning."

You could even say that Makoto Asano just took a bullet for Eriko Miyajima.

However, due to Makoto Asano's preemptive strike and Eriko Miyajima's illness, Yuta Yamada's resentment had completely dissipated.

"You must be tired from work, Yuta. I'm fine. I feel much better after taking the medicine."

Eriko Miyajima's voice was somewhat hoarse, and she spoke with noticeably less strength than usual.

Therefore, as soon as she opened her mouth, Yuta Yamada was certain that she was sick.

"Today was the day we had agreed to help with the cleaning, but Eriko didn't come this morning, so I called her."

At this moment, Makoto Asano followed her into the guest room and explained, "I heard her coughing incessantly on the phone, so I suspected she might be sick and came to check on her... I didn't expect her fever to be so high."

Eriko Miyajima nodded, agreeing with Makoto Asano's statement: "Yes, Yuta, we should thank Asano-kun for taking care of us."

She didn't mention medication or temperature checks, because they were too embarrassing, and she didn't want Yamada Yu to overthink it.

Although she felt she hadn't done anything wrong, if Yuta Yamada noticed these things, some misunderstandings were bound to arise.

Believing that it's better to avoid trouble, she decided not to bring up these matters.

She was even considering whether to go to the pharmacy to buy the same medicine and put it back in the medicine box to prevent Yamada Yuta from noticing anything amiss.

Upon hearing this, Yamada Yuta quickly stood up, turned around, and bowed to Asano Makoto: "Asano-kun, thank you very much!"

"It's alright, helping each other is something neighbors should do."

Makoto Asano shook his head and earnestly advised, "Yuta, although making money is important, you can earn more money if you lose it, but if Eriko is gone, you can never get her back."

"And don't forget why you're working so hard to make money in the first place. Don't put the cart before the horse."

However, Yuta Yamada was somewhat dismissive of this and only nodded perfunctorily out of basic politeness.

In his view, this was just "chicken soup for the soul" that only someone like Makoto Asano, who is not short of money and owns a house in Tokyo, could spout.

If he doesn't have money, how can he buy a house in Tokyo? How can he marry Eriko Miyajima? How can he give her a decent life?

However, when considering these questions, Yuta Yamada never thought about them.

Even if he didn't have a house in Tokyo, Eriko Miyajima would definitely be willing to marry him.

For some reason, he was so obsessed with buying a house that it was as if he wouldn't be worthy of marrying Eriko Miyajima if he didn't buy one.

In fact, for a recent college graduate, his salary is already very high.

In a previous conversation, he revealed his salary.

Without overtime, he would earn about 40 yen. If he worked overtime for a month, he could earn about 60 yen, which means his annual salary would be between 480 million and 720 million yen.

In Japan, this annual salary might not qualify him as middle class, but it would certainly be enough for him and Eriko Miyajima to live a very comfortable life in Tokyo.

Even if he doesn't work overtime and spends all his extra time with Eriko Miyajima, it's the same.

Not to mention he's still so young, and there's still the possibility of him getting a promotion and a raise.

Makoto Asano naturally saw through his indifference.

He didn't say much about it, but couldn't help shaking his head inwardly, wishing Yamada Yuta good luck.

These words were prompted by the little "conscience" he had left and the slight "guilt" he felt about to cuckold Yuta Yamada.

Since Yuta Yamada wouldn't listen, he wouldn't try to persuade him any further.

In any case, if it weren't for Yamada Yuta's "bad but unaware" personality and his self-indulgent efforts, he wouldn't have had so many opportunities to take advantage of him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, banishing these thoughts from his mind, and stood up to say goodbye: "Then I'll head back first... Yuta, remember to take good care of Eriko."

Upon hearing this, Yamada Yuta quickly urged, "Asano-kun, why don't you stay for a meal? I haven't properly thanked you for taking care of Eriko yet."

His tone was earnest and sincere, and it was clear that he genuinely wanted to thank Makoto Asano.

Upon hearing this, Makoto Asano couldn't help but frown and asked, "Yuta-kun, you can cook?"

"I'm not good at cooking, of course it's Eri..."

Halfway through his sentence, Yamada Yuta seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing and quickly added, "Of course we're going out to eat. Asano-kun, whatever you want to eat, pick whatever you like. No matter how expensive it is, it's on me."

Seeing him pat his chest and act all cheerful, Asano Makoto suppressed his anger and asked again, "What about Eriko? She's still sick and can't go out, can she?"

Upon hearing this, Yuta Yamada froze on the spot, speechless.

Makoto Asano took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said in as calm a voice as possible, "Yuta-kun, your kindness in taking good care of Eriko is the greatest gratitude I can ask for."

"Eriko hasn't eaten all day. Remember to get her something to eat as soon as possible. If you don't know how to cook, you can order takeout or get a meal from a restaurant for her."

"As for inviting me to dinner or something, let's talk about that after Eriko recovers."

Upon hearing these words, Yuta Yamada couldn't help but pause in surprise.

Two seconds later, he realized that Asano Makoto was giving him a way out, and quickly nodded: "I understand, Asano-kun. Don't worry, I will take good care of Eriko."

This time, Makoto Asano simply nodded and ignored Yuta Yamada. Instead, he smiled and greeted Eriko Miyajima, who was sitting on the bed with a similarly pale face: "Well then, Eriko, I'll be going now. I wish you a speedy recovery, and see you next time."

He then turned and left.

After turning around and confirming that the two people behind him couldn't see his expression, his face instantly turned gloomy.

At this moment, the little "conscience" he had left had completely vanished.

He figured it out.

Even without Makoto Asano poaching them, these two would never have made it to the end.

Even if she were to get married by chance, Eriko's future life would certainly not be happy; she would spend the rest of her life in endless compromises and feeling extremely frustrated.

Makoto Asano didn't want this to happen.

He hoped that Eriko Miyajima could find happiness.

Chapter 113 Eriko is acting strangely (1/2)

After admonishing Yamada Yuta, Asano Makoto hurriedly ran home.

Despite his calm and collected preemptive strike that left Yamada Yuta completely bewildered, he was actually a little flustered inside.

So this means that this is the second time he's been caught by Yuta Yamada doing "bad things" at Eriko Miyajima's house.

Thinking of this, he immediately opened the system and used the item exchange coupon to exchange for an upgraded Bluetooth audio pinhole camera.

The camera that Yamada Yuta first encountered, which he was planning to buy, had a base price of 1000 Love Points and required 2000 Love Points to upgrade.

Actually, he had the idea of ​​buying this camera when the system first entered the upgrade phase and he had extra "pure love points".

However, because of the sudden addition of Lilith, a glutton, he dared not continue to spend his love points lavishly and had to temporarily put his purchase plan on hold.

As for the item exchange coupon, it can be used to exchange for any item in the store worth less than 3000 Pure Love Points. It is a reward for the side quest "Strengthening the Body".

The system said that this side quest was a long-term quest with no time limit. Whether you would be rewarded or punished after completing the quest depended entirely on the time it took to complete it, as did the severity of the reward or punishment.

Makoto Asano raised his stamina from 4.3 to 7 points in less than two weeks.

Although it relied heavily on the system's assistance and even used Pure Love Points to force a level up, the speed was still quite fast.

Therefore, the system provides fairly generous rewards.

In addition to the [Item Exchange Coupon], the system also rewarded him with a lottery ticket from the in-game store and 2000 points of Pure Love Value.

He just used the item exchange coupon to exchange for a camera.

He used the lottery ticket on the spot after receiving it.

Unfortunately, he wasn't very lucky and only drew a band-aid of the right size.

The system notes that each box of bandages contains three sheets and can instantly heal all minor injuries.

Moreover, this healing effect seems to be just a side effect.
