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

Suddenly, a notification sound rang in his mind.

[Beep! Host's decision to slack off has been detected. Temporary side quest has been activated!]

[Mission Objective: Touch two different key areas of Risa Kanno's body within five hours.]

[Mission completion reward: 6000 million yen.]

[Punishment for mission failure: Transform into Risa Kanno's black lace lingerie.]

"Holy crap, when did I decide to give up?!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Makoto Asano was so excited that he almost shouted it out loud.

However, he managed to control his mouth in time, only letting out a "fuck" before stopping and mentally repeating the phrase.

Fortunately, Risa Kanno was still immersed in her own world and did not notice the strangeness on his side, but several other tables of guests did.

However, Makoto Asano didn't have time to deal with them; he was busy arguing with the system.

Giving up an opportunity is the worst form of slacking off.

Faced with the system's response, Makoto Asano was at a loss for words.

That's just how the system is; once it makes a decision, it will never be changed.

In order to better complete the task, he had no choice but to patiently ask himself, "Let me ask you, is this the key part I'm thinking of?"

Yes, Master, it's those two places~~

This time, the voice that came to his mind was that of Lilith, whom he had locked up at home.

But he didn't have time to worry about that right now, and continued to ask, "Would the left or right be okay?"

【No, Master, the system requires it to be done once in the upper and once in the lower body.】

Hearing the regret in Lilith's voice, Makoto Asano felt like he was doomed.

This mission is somewhat similar to the last one involving touching Eriko Miyajima, but it's also quite different.

Last time, the task only required the feet, but this time it requires two specific areas.

The above is manageable; you can just accidentally brush against it and then apologize.

But what's next?

Was it also an accident?

And what if the system requires close contact, that is, touching after taking off clothes?

Thinking of this, Makoto Asano quickly asked about his confusion.

Lilith dutifully replied, "[It's alright, Master. The system only requires one touch through clothing!]"

Hearing Lilith's somewhat excited voice, Asano Makoto felt a little better.

Fortunately, it's not the worst-case scenario.

With that in mind, Makoto Asano refocused his attention on Risa Kanno.

Then he got a headache.

I don't know what happened, but in the short time he asked the question, there was almost no food left on Risa Kanno's plate.

Knowing that things couldn't continue like this, he immediately stopped thinking wildly and his mind started racing.

After a while, as Risa Kamino finished the last piece of steak on her plate, he finally thought of a way to stall for time and quickly said, "Oh! By the way, Aunt Kamino, may I have something else to eat?"

Because she spoke a little louder than before, Risa Kanno was able to temporarily escape her previous negative emotions.

She subconsciously looked up in the direction from which the sound came.

However, seeing Asano Makoto with cold sweat dripping from his forehead and an awkward smile on his face, she was momentarily confused and subconsciously asked, "What?"

Makoto Asano immediately explained, "Um... actually, I wasn't full yet, so I wanted to eat something else."

His somewhat embarrassed, head-scratching manner as he spoke made him seem as shy as the boy next door.

He has now adjusted his mindset, and the panic and tension he felt before have disappeared.

At this moment, Risa Kanno finally came to her senses and realized what Makoto Asano meant.

Logically speaking, as the one who invited Makoto Asano to be a guest, she should have done her best to ensure that the guest was well-fed.

But now, she felt a little hesitant about Asano Makoto's words.

The main reason for the hesitation was that there wasn't enough money.

The food here is too expensive. The money she brought was only enough to pay for the meal she just had, and she couldn't afford to spend any more money here.

Asano Seiya noticed her hesitation, and after thinking for a moment, he thought of a possible reason and immediately said, "Aunt Jinno, let's go out and continue our meal. How should I put it... I don't think the food here is very good, and it's also very expensive."

Continuing the drinking party is a very common drinking culture in Japan, because there isn't much food at each restaurant, so it's common to eat at three or four different places during a single gathering.

"Actually, it's mainly because I also have something I want to say to you, Aunt Jinno... about Yuna, but I feel like this isn't the right place to talk."

Perhaps feeling that his previous words were not enough to convince Risa Kanno to accept his proposal, Makoto Asano pressed on while the iron was hot.

On the other side, Risa Kanno, who had been somewhat tempted by the first half of his sentence, immediately nodded and accepted Makoto Asano's proposal after hearing the last sentence.

She was eager to know what Makoto Asano had just said about Yuna.

Seeing her nod, Asano Seiya immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as we can go out and continue the business, then there's still a chance to complete this task.

But if that plan doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to the last resort...

Author's note: Recently, I seem to have been targeted by censors, and my chapters have been heavily censored. So, I'm thinking of pushing the plot forward a bit and starting new character romance routes, and then I'll wait until things calm down before taking a break.

Because we're going to be pursuing a new character, and we believe that a character without a storyline is ultimately soulless, the early part of this storyline will definitely be a bit longer.

There's nothing we can do about it, but this might be a bit watered down, as some readers have given similar feedback.

Then let's speed things up and have some more fun.

If the reviewer really has their eye on me, I really hope you can have some mercy and remove a few (kneeling).

Chapter 118 Young and Capable (1/2)

"Asano-kun, I already said I'd pay..."

Faced with Risa Kanno's muttered complaints from the passenger seat, Makoto Asano just smiled and said, "It's okay, Aunt Kanno, you can pay for the rest of the bill later."

Can that be the same?

Risa Kamino pouted, wanting to say those words but unable to bring herself to say them.

At the restaurant, including the tip for the waiter, Makoto Asano paid a total of 22,000 yen.

She had been to the izakaya she was going to next many times before, and even with the cost of drinks, the maximum cost per person was only 3000 yen.

In short, she had gotten a great deal out of Makoto Asano this time, but she wasn't very happy about it.

If she were alone, she wouldn't care about such things, even if she lost face because she didn't have money.

However, she really didn't want this to happen in front of Makoto Asano, because she was worried that it would affect her daughter's relationship.

Because of her excessive concern for her daughter's love life and her completely flawed views on relationships, her mind is constantly on edge.

Makoto Asano realized this.

Clearly, this kind of relationship is not conducive to him and Risa Kanno becoming closer, just like the relationship between a "son-in-law" and a "mother-in-law".

So in the process of completing his mission tonight, he has to find a way to break down these two relationships along the way.

Thinking of this, he directly told Risa Kamino, "Aunt Kamino, you really didn't need to bring me to such a high-end restaurant tonight. I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm not used to such expensive food."

Risa Kanno gave an awkward smile.

How could she know anything about Makoto Asano's family situation? In fact, she even wondered at first if the restaurant was not up to par.

If she had more money, she would have booked a more upscale restaurant.

The kind where the average spending is 40,000 to 50,000 yen per person.

However, it would be impolite to just laugh awkwardly without replying, so after thinking for a moment, she changed the subject and praised, "Asano-kun, it's really amazing that you've gotten this far through your own efforts."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Makoto Asano nodded confidently and then began to recount his "struggle history" over the years.

In the years since his parents passed away, he was sent to a children's welfare home because he had no other relatives.

In the children's welfare home, he learned a lot of knowledge and earned a lot of money with it before he became an adult.

After he grew up and left the children's welfare home, he became a plumber, working day and night repairing pipes and saving up a lot of money.

Faced with Makoto Asano's emotional and seemingly genuine speech, Risa Kanno accepted the story, titled "Makoto Asano's Struggle," without reservation.

However, this result is quite normal.

Besides the fact that I already trusted Makoto Asano a lot, another key reason is that Makoto Asano was telling the truth.

In fact, before he was certain that he could inherit the estate and receive the compensation, Makoto Asano had come up with many ways to make money.

For example, with the permission of a children's welfare home, a child can participate in competitions for high school and university students as a kindergarten student and then become a "child prodigy".

This caused a sensation in Japan at the time. Apart from some people who did not believe it, most Japanese people began to shout slogans such as "The rise of Great Japan", "The contemporary Gauss", and "A genius descended from the sky".

But Makoto Asano didn't care about any of that bullshit about Japan's rise. At the time, he ignored invitations from prestigious graduate schools and meetings with some politicians, and went to accept endorsements for "Kaizhi" products, and then started to frantically buy rice.

Nonsense, why would someone want to be a politician? Do they think they can just open up during speeches?

Besides, which is better, being a politician or a college student, or being a celebrity?

Being a celebrity is not only a quick way to make money, but it's also safe; you don't have to worry about being sent to jail for corruption.
