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

While not necessarily entirely correct, Makoto Asano estimated that his guess was pretty much the same as the actual content.

However, what surprised him the most was that there was no punishment for this mission!

Yes, there is no punishment.

Makoto Asano waited for a long time but did not receive any notification sound regarding the penalty for failing the mission, and he also found no related content when he opened the system and entered the mission panel.

This was the first time he had received a mission without punishment.

Did the system suddenly have a change of heart? Or did it just malfunction?

Just as he was thinking about these random things, Yuna Kanno, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly spoke up with some dissatisfaction.

"Hey! You pervert, why aren't you saying anything? Is it because I'm right and you can't refute me?"

Since this was the first time the system had issued this type of task, Makoto Asano couldn't help but feel curious and spent a little more time studying it.

No, it's not actually that long, maybe a minute at most.

But to Yuna Kanno, that minute felt like an eternity.

Or rather, for her now, every minute and second that Asano Makoto ignored her felt incredibly long.

Faced with her jealous question, Makoto Asano just chuckled and said, "No, I was just thinking about something that makes me happy."

"Something to be happy about? You've hooked up with another woman, haven't you?"

Hearing Yuna Kanno's words, which were clearly tinged with jealousy and even a hint of sarcasm, Makoto Asano remained unperturbed, still smiling and saying, "Yes and no, but it is indeed related to women."

This time, Yuna Kanno fell completely silent.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but after opening and closing her mouth for a long time without uttering a single word, she finally chose to shut up.

Although... although our initial encounter was indeed terrible, so much time has passed, does he really have no feelings for me at all?

Or perhaps in his heart, I was just a useful toy.

In that instant, Yuna Kanno thought about many things, and subconsciously began to think about her relationship with Makoto Asano.

"Well, whatever you want then, it's your own business after all."

However, just as she lowered her head somewhat aggrievedly, bit her lip with her teeth, and muttered something like this...

Makoto Asano changed his expression and said sincerely, "Yuna, I'm not joking. I'm really happy that you're jealous of me."

"……Eh?"

Yuna Kanno subconsciously raised her head and stared blankly at Makoto Asano's serious face.

"After all, the fact that you get jealous means you like me, Yuna. As for your point about me being happy because I hooked up with another woman... well, that's not wrong, since you're a woman too."

"I'm so glad that you like me, Yuna."

This sounds a bit corny, but it works very well.

At this moment, Yuna Kanno realized that Makoto Asano had just been teasing her, so her face turned bright red instantly upon hearing what he said.

Surprisingly, despite being very open to things in bed, she is very shy when it comes to matters of the heart.

Especially the fact that she revealed her feelings for Makoto Asano.

So after a moment of stunned silence, she blushed and hurriedly opened her mouth to say something to cover it up.

But before that, Makoto Asano spoke first: "Actually, someone just messaged me, wanting to invite me to dinner. Although she is indeed a woman, I have nothing to do with her now, and she has a boyfriend who is my high school classmate, so don't overthink it."

As a member of the "Makoto" family, Makoto Asano's favorite thing is to tell the truth.

So he wasn't lying when he said that.

He really has nothing to do with Konno Yuuka now.

As for the future, that's a matter for the future.

"Forget it, just see for yourself. I haven't spoken to her before."

After explaining, he held up his phone and showed it to Yuna Kamino, displaying his chat with Konno Yuuka.

Chat logs are always very private, no matter where you are.

Most people share the same attitude towards chat logs: only their closest and most trusted friends and family can see them.

Of course, this excludes those who like to share their chat history with their boyfriends in their girlfriends' group chat so that their girlfriends can complain about their boyfriends.

However, Makoto Asano didn't seem to care about this.

Since he and Konno Yuuka didn't talk about anything, he might as well watch it.

Moreover, he now trusts Yuna Kanno very much.

If even someone as submissive as Yuna Kamino isn't trustworthy, then there's probably no one in the world he can trust.

First appeal to their emotions, then reason with them, and finally present the evidence directly in front of them.

Furthermore, proactively sharing chat history demonstrates a high level of trust and respect.

So when Yuna Kanno subconsciously glanced at her phone, especially after seeing the message "I might not have time at noon today," she wasn't so angry anymore.

After all, the owner had rejected the other party once in order to spend time with him!

What does this mean?

This shows that no matter what the woman's identity is, or what her relationship with the master is, he is more important to the master than she is.

With this in mind, Yuna Kanno completely believed Makoto Asano's explanation.

Not to mention that what Makoto Asano just said was all true.

Although Yuna Kanno had no idea what kind of misunderstanding had occurred between the person opposite her and Makoto Asano that led the other person to apologize to her.

But they were talking about very serious topics, and they had never chatted before, and the other person did have a boyfriend.

So the master wasn't lying to him; everything he said was true.

So... was what he said before also true?

Would he really be jealous of me, or happy that I like him?

Thinking of this, Yuna Kanno's face immediately turned red. She recalled how she had just been jealous and felt incredibly embarrassed.

Although she was no longer angry with Makoto Asano and realized that she had misunderstood him, Makoto Asano had not abandoned her to seduce other women.

However, Yuna, who has a strong sense of self-esteem and likes to be stubborn, will not apologize for this.

Moreover, remembering her embarrassing moment and seeing Asano Makoto looking at her with a smile, as if waiting for her to say something, she felt a surge of anger and embarrassment.

So after thinking for a long time but not being able to think of anything to say, she just snorted, turned her head away, and muttered stubbornly, "Let me make this clear, I'm not jealous of you! I don't like you! I just... just can't stand people like you messing around and ruining other girls!"

"Okay, okay, I know, I know."

Faced with Yuna Kanno's flawed cover-up and accusations, Makoto Asano shrugged with amusement.

She's clearly not angry anymore, but this little girl really likes to be stubborn...

However, despite thinking that way, Makoto Asano breathed a slight sigh of relief.

When Yuna Kamino pushed him down last night, he worried that after reaching the highest level of submission, Yuna Kamino might become the kind of mindless puppet who only knew how to obey orders.

But it seems that's not the case now.

Although the little pet had completely submitted to him and would never disobey his orders, it seemed that it still had its own ideas.

On the other hand, after hearing his obviously perfunctory response, which even seemed like he was watching a joke.

Yuna Kanno was immediately enraged, and she became even more furious, saying again, "And just because she already has a boyfriend doesn't mean you don't have feelings for her, because you're a pervert! The woman living next door to you also has a boyfriend, but you still have feelings for her!"

"So, we can't be sure what you really think of that woman with two names yet... right now."

At this point, Yuna Kanno suddenly paused for a moment.

She thought of something.

The woman who was just chatting with the master has been saved in the master's contacts as Konno Yuuka (Kana Ikeda).

She has two names.

The first name was one I had never heard of before.

But the second name, "Kana Ikeda," seemed vaguely familiar, as if I'd seen it somewhere before.

Where exactly is it...?

Author's note: Sorry it's late today.

I spent another whole night revising the murder chapter.

Although I had anticipated this while writing on Saturday and Sunday, who could have imagined that the review would delete all five chapters at once!

Because so many accounts were blocked, it was already past nine in the morning by the time I finished making the changes. I was so sleepy that I went to take a nap.

So I'm really sorry for the late update.

(The good news is that when I woke up, I saw that only 126 was still blocked, while the others had already been blocked.)

(The bad news is that the pervert is likely being targeted by the censors, because chapter 126 was already revised and approved once before, but it was still blocked today.)

There are three more chapters to come, which will be the second update from yesterday and the second update today.

After making some adjustments tomorrow, I'll officially start updating more chapters like before!

Chapter 135, Stage 2 (3k, 3/4)

Seeing that Yuna Kanno suddenly fell silent, Makoto Asano didn't pay much attention, assuming that she had stopped on her own after realizing that she had said something she shouldn't have to her master.

Taking this opportunity, Makoto Asano opened the system and glanced at the newly added second stage mission.

Then his head suddenly started spinning.

[Phase Two: The host must act affectionately towards any target with low favorability in front of any target with high favorability, and appease the target with high favorability. This task is limited to one week.]

His previous guess was true; the second stage of the mission really did require him to actively create a chaotic situation and then appease the jealous target.

However, what he didn't expect was that the second stage of the task had restrictions: he had to act affectionately towards the target with low favorability in front of the target with high favorability.
