Madam, believe me, how can I be a minotaur?

While preparing dinner, her face remained flushed, and her hands would pause intermittently.

Once, she was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the soup she was cooking had boiled over.

Only when she abruptly realized this did she start tidying up the mess in a flurry.

Seemingly wanting to stop herself from overthinking, she patted her cheeks with both hands after cleaning the kitchen, then muttered a few words to herself.

Although the camera was a bit far from the kitchen, making it hard to hear clearly, Asano Makoto could roughly guess what she was saying, something along the lines of "Focus," "Stop overthinking," and "Cook properly."

Just as Asano Makoto was preparing to continue observing her every move with great interest, occasionally chuckling at her adorable behavior, Yamada Yuta returned home from work.

Perhaps because he hadn't worked overtime, he came home quite early today, before 6:30 PM.

Seeing his girlfriend's slightly flushed cheeks, he couldn't help but ask, puzzled, about the reason.

However, when faced with his inquiry, Miyajima Eriko calmed down instead.

She explained calmly that her face looked a bit red because it was hot while cooking in the kitchen.

Hearing his girlfriend's explanation, Yamada Yuta didn't suspect anything, only asking in a slightly reproachful tone why she didn't turn on the air conditioner.

Miyajima Eriko smiled gently, not answering the question, and returned to the kitchen after helping Yamada Yuta put away his shoes and coat.

Yamada Yuta didn't notice anything unusual about his girlfriend.

After Miyajima Eriko turned to go to the kitchen, he lay down on the sofa as usual and started watching TV.

So far, everything was the same as before, nothing special.

But what Asano Makoto didn't expect was that when they were at the dinner table, Miyajima Eriko actually brought up the matter of going out with him tomorrow.

While saying these words, although she tried hard to appear calm, she inevitably seemed a bit nervous.

However, incredibly, Yamada Yuta didn't suspect a thing and agreed to it directly.

He even encouraged Miyajima Eriko to spend more time with Asano Makoto, so she wouldn't feel bored from being alone all the time.

Moreover, if they could get on good terms with Asano Makoto, they could continue living here at a discounted price, which would reduce his burden.

Hearing these words, the expression on Miyajima Eriko's face, which she had been trying so hard to keep calm, finally changed, becoming somewhat lonely and sad.

Looking at her boyfriend, who was still talking animatedly, she pursed her lips and stopped speaking, silently eating her dinner.

Yamada Yuta, who was halfway through his words, suddenly noticed the change in his girlfriend's atmosphere and scratched his head in confusion.

But soon he shrugged, stopped thinking about these small matters, assuming Eriko didn't like hearing such topics, and started eating dinner as well.

There's not much to say about what happened after that.

After dinner, Miyajima Eriko cleaned the table and the kitchen, while Yamada Yuta took a shower and went back to his room to sleep.

He had to get up early for work tomorrow, and he was sure to work overtime, so he had to rest quickly, or he would have a hard time tomorrow.

After he finished showering and returned to his room, Miyajima Eriko had also tidied up the kitchen, she also took a shower, then went back to the guest room, closed the door, and prepared to rest.

Because the door was closed, there was nothing to see, so Asano Makoto withdrew from the surveillance footage in his mind.

And at this time, it was not even ten o'clock at night.

Asano Makoto didn't know what to say now.

He hadn't noticed it before, but based on today alone, Miyajima Eriko and Yamada Yuta seemed more like male and female roommates living together than a cohabitating couple.

Because he had seen an unexpected scene, Asano Makoto couldn't help but be stunned.

But soon he regained his senses and couldn't help but laugh.

This was a good thing.

At least it was for him.

With his confusion resolved, Asano Makoto stopped dwelling on it, took a quick shower, and went to bed.

The next morning, Asano Makoto got up early for a rare occasion and tidied himself up nicely.

Actually, it was just following a video tutorial to do a simple hairstyle and changing into a presentable outfit.

And after doing all this, his already high charm value of 7.8 increased by another 0.2, reaching 8 points.

Actually, his original charm value was only 7.7, but after completing the intimate contact mission with Konno Yuuka, he received a 0.1 charm value reward.

When the time came to half-past eight in the morning, Asano Makoto went next door and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and along with it came Miyajima Eriko's voice, tinged with a hint of joy.

"Asano-kun, you're here."

Seeing Miyajima Eriko standing behind the door, Asano Makoto couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long time, he nodded somewhat dazedly: "... Yeah, I'm here."

And the "culprit" who made him stunned was none other than Miyajima Eriko, who was standing in front of him, her face a little red from his straightforward gaze.

She was too beautiful today.

Chapter 152: Small Branches Bear Rich Fruit

Today, Miyajima Eriko was wearing an elegant black chiffon shirt, paired with a white floral skirt, which completely brought out the gentle aura on her body.

She wore light and delicate makeup on her face, and the eyeliner outlining her eyes was a light pinkish-white.

Her flaxen-colored long hair was tied up, and the air bangs on her forehead made her look even more quiet and gentle, as if carrying an immortal aura.

Looking at the pair of slender black silk beautiful legs under the skirt, Asano Makoto felt that she not only carried an immortal aura, but also a seductive aura.

Noticing Asano Makoto's straightforward gaze, Miyajima Eriko couldn't help but blush slightly.

However, she didn't blame Asano Makoto for this very impolite behavior, but directly changed the subject: "Asano-kun, please wait a moment, I'll change my shoes."

Long before Asano Makoto came, she had prepared everything properly.

Her makeup was done, her clothes had been carefully selected for a long time, and the things she wanted to take out were all in her handbag, just waiting for Asano Makoto to come and change her shoes and go out.

Seeing Miyajima Eriko in front of him bending down slightly to put on her shoes, Asano Makoto nodded blankly, and very unconsciously did not move his gaze away.

No way, can't handle it.

Because Miyajima Eriko's figure is very standard, neither big nor small, Asano Makoto used to be more attracted to Miyajima Eriko's delicate face.

But rather than saying her figure is "standard", it is better to say her figure is "perfect".

After all, being too big is not good-looking.

Because he had touched it before, Asano Makoto knew that Miyajima Eriko's was just right.

It can't be held in one hand, slightly larger than the average for women of her height, but not too big.

And her shape is incomparably perfect and upright.

Of course, Asano Makoto touched it in a dream.

But because it was Miyajima Eriko's own dream, her figure in the dream was also based on her impression of herself, so there should not be too much deviation.

In addition to her breasts, her hips and waist are also perfect, both in size and shape.

For example, now, from Asano Makoto's point of view, her hip shape is simply heaven-defying, coupled with her slender and beautiful waistline, it can only be said that this picture of bending over to put on shoes is too tempting from the back.

It's already like this with clothes on, so if there are no clothes...

Asano Makoto didn't dare to think about how exciting that picture would be.

What is a small branch bearing rich fruit?

Hey, that's it.

After changing her shoes and standing up, Miyajima Eriko noticed Asano Makoto's gaze that was still staring at her without moving.

This time she couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded with a blushing face: "Let's go! What are you dazing about?"

"Oh oh, okay."

Asano Makoto realized it at this time.

He nodded, belatedly praised: "Eriko, you look really good today."

Seeing him looking a little silly, which was rare, Miyajima Eriko covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

She unexpectedly did not feel shy because of Asano Makoto's praise like in the past, but accepted it generously: "Really? Thank you for the compliment, Asano-kun looks very handsome today too."

At this time, Asano Makoto, who noticed that Miyajima Eriko seemed a little different from before, was completely awake.

He didn't care too much about Miyajima Eriko's change, but after sorting out his emotions a little, he pretended to be proud and replied: "I've always been handsome, haven't I?"

Actually, he just wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere.

Who would have thought that Miyajima Eriko's reaction would be completely different from what he expected.

After hearing this, Miyajima Eriko actually nodded with a serious expression, and then said in an affirmative tone: "Yes, Asano-kun, you have always been handsome."

This time it was Asano Makoto's turn to be embarrassed.

He scratched his cheek a little awkwardly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

At the same time, he also noticed a trace of strangeness.

Something's wrong, very, even nine-tenths of it's wrong.

Eriko is too strange today, how do I feel like I'm the one being manipulated?

Is her level so high?

Just as Asano Makoto was thinking about these things, and even felt a little troubled by it, Miyajima Eriko spoke again: "Asano-kun, let's go?"

"Okay."

Asano Makoto once again exerted his advantage, temporarily not thinking about things he couldn't figure out.

Anyway, judging from Miyajima Eriko's current situation, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After temporarily throwing the questions in his head aside, he immediately nodded at Miyajima Eriko, then took the handbag and turned to walk towards the elevator.

Because of his action of taking the handbag without saying a word, Miyajima Eriko was slightly stunned.

When going out with Yuta, he never thought of these details...
