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

But as her boyfriend, he couldn't even provide the most basic companionship, let alone help Miyajima Eriko escape her suffering.

Adding to that his unpleasant yet unaware personality, Miyajima Eriko was slowly pushed away from him, drifting further and further apart.

And he, being so oblivious, didn't even notice it.

But Asano Makoto was different.

He had always been by Miyajima Eriko's side, understanding her feelings.

This was the fundamental reason why he had an opportunity and became one of the only two people who could help Miyajima Eriko break free.

Of course, this "suffering" originally arose because of him.

But the reason doesn't matter; the result is what's most important.

And what he was going to do tonight was that result, the thing Miyajima Eriko had been both anticipating and fearing.

Chapter 158: Phone Call

Of course, those things that would cause Miyajima Eriko pain were not a big deal to Asano Makoto.

Because his goal had never changed from the beginning, and it wouldn't change now because of Miyajima Eriko's thoughts, and it wouldn't change in the future either.

And everything he had done so far was all to achieve that goal.

As far as he was concerned, since Miyajima Eriko hadn't thought of these things, he naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to bring them up.

So after Miyajima Eriko accepted his proposal, he directly said to the front desk girl, "I'll take that double bed room, please book it for us."

The front desk girl, who had been looking at Miyajima Eriko with a slightly envious gaze, immediately reacted upon hearing this.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

She gave a professional smile, nodded slightly, and then started operating the computer again, preparing to book the room for Asano Makoto.

This time, she quickly stopped her actions.

Then, she took out a room card and a card reader from the drawer of the counter, and said with a smile, "Hello, the room has been booked, your total consumption is 10,000 yen, would you like to pay by card or cash?"

Asano Makoto took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a black bank card and handed it over, "By card, please."

"Okay."

The front desk girl took the bank card, and after some operations, confirmed that the payment for the room had been deducted from Asano Makoto's bank card, she smiled and handed the bank card and room card together.

"Hello, this is your room card and bank card, please keep them safe, your room number is 221, go up to the second floor and turn left, the first room on the right is it."

"Okay, thank you."

Saying that, Asano Makoto turned his head to look at Miyajima Eriko, "Let's go, Eriko, we need to take a shower quickly, or it would be troublesome if we catch a cold."

"Okay."

And so, the two left the front desk together, preparing to go upstairs to the newly booked room.

However, neither of them noticed the front desk girl's gaze that was constantly watching them.

Damn it! That woman is so beautiful, I'm so envious.

If I could be as beautiful as her, I could definitely find a man as handsome as that too.

Damn it, damn it!

Thinking this, the front desk girl subconsciously took another two glances at Asano Makoto.

After a simple makeover, Asano Makoto's charm value was now as high as 8 points.

Although it wasn't enough to make people faint from his handsomeness, it wasn't a problem to make a girl who met him for the first time develop a good impression of him.

However, Asano Makoto and Miyajima Eriko naturally wouldn't know what the front desk girl was thinking.

After leaving the lobby, the two went directly upstairs to find the room, and then walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, looking at the pink and purple main color of the room and those furniture that looked a bit cute, Asano Makoto was slightly stunned.

But he quickly put this matter aside and directly suggested, "Eriko, you go take a shower first."

Miyajima Eriko declined, "Why don't... Asano-kun go first?"

"I'm fine, I'm strong and healthy and it's hard for me to get sick, but Eriko you—"

Speaking of this, Asano Makoto suddenly showed a meaningful smile on his face, and then continued, "If you get sick again, then you'll have to 'take' the medicine again."

While saying this, Asano Makoto's expression was a bit meaningful, and the tone he used seemed to be implying something.

How could Miyajima Eriko not imagine what he was talking about?

The moment she thought of the "special medicine" that Asano Makoto had given her last time, her face turned red in an instant.

"Asano-kun, you idiot."

She didn't answer Asano Makoto's question, but instead scolded him like this in a coquettish manner.

She no longer mentioned who should take a shower first, but instead threw her handbag aside, and then turned around and ran into the bathroom, pretending to be sulky.

How cute...

Looking at the bathroom door that slammed shut, but slowly closed in the end, Asano Makoto chuckled softly, unable to stop himself from thinking this in his heart.

Then, he bent down to pick up the handbag that Miyajima Eriko had thrown aside, preparing to put her bag away for her.

But just at this moment, Miyajima Eriko suddenly ran out of the bathroom again.

Asano Makoto raised his head in surprise, and then he suddenly realized that Miyajima Eriko's face seemed to have become even redder than before.

As for the reason, he couldn't guess.

So, he asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Um... Asa, Asano-kun, it's just... the glass in this bathroom..."

Miyajima Eriko's face became redder and redder as she spoke, and her voice became smaller and smaller, even to the point where she was completely silent at the end.

But although she didn't finish her sentence, Asano Makoto still realized something.

He immediately left the entrance and walked towards the inside of the room.

When he reached the bedside, he turned around and looked in the direction of the bathroom.

Sure enough, it's just like I thought...

Looking at the inside of the bathroom, which offered an unobstructed view, Asano Makoto shook his head with a smile.

Because it was decorated according to the standards of a love hotel, the glass wall of the bathroom in this double bed room was completely transparent.

And there were no curtains in the bathroom.

In other words, while Miyajima Eriko was taking a shower, as long as Asano Makoto wanted to, he could feast his eyes at any time.

But he naturally couldn't do that.

"Then I'll go out first, just open the door and call me when Eriko is done showering."

Saying this, before Miyajima Eriko could open her mouth to say anything, he very consciously walked out of the room, and then closed the door again.

Eriko's favorability is already high enough now, maintaining stability is the real thing, it's best not to do anything out of line.

I'll make my move when she can't leave tonight, this way it can also be safer.

It's okay, it's almost time anyway, no need to rush for a while...

Just as Asano Makoto was thinking this, and at the same time preparing to take out his phone and start killing time.

He suddenly realized that he was still carrying Miyajima Eriko's handbag in his hand.

He was slightly stunned as he looked at this handbag, and then subconsciously began to think.

Eriko shouldn't have taken off her clothes yet, at least she hasn't started showering yet...

Thinking this, he turned around again to let Miyajima Eriko open the door, and then return her handbag to her.

However, just as he was about to put his thoughts into action, preparing to knock on the door.

A cell phone ringtone suddenly came from the handbag.

This time Asano Makoto no longer hesitated, he directly knocked on the door.

At first, he wasn't thinking about secretly taking a look.

But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that it seemed unnecessary.

Because based on Miyajima Eriko's social circle, there was only one person who could possibly call her at this time.

Chapter 159: Did you put it on? As you put it on (Bonus 12)

Although Asano Makoto knocked on the door shortly after hearing the phone ring, he waited almost half a minute before Miyajima Eriko came out of the room.

Unlike before, she was now only wearing the jacket that Asano Makoto had previously draped over her, and the zipper of the jacket had been pulled all the way to the top.

Yes, other than this jacket, she wasn't wearing anything else, including the skirt, which she had already taken off.

Looking at her somewhat flushed face, Asano Makoto knew what she had been doing for the past half minute.

It was estimated that a minute ago, she had just taken off her clothes and was about to take a shower, but suddenly heard Asano Makoto knocking on the door.

As everyone knows, clothes usually become very difficult to put on after they get wet, and this is especially true for thin clothes such as skirts and chiffon shirts.

So, thinking that Asano Makoto was knocking on the door because of something urgent, she didn't have time to put on her own clothes, so she could only hurriedly put on her underwear and put Asano Makoto's jacket on the outside.

If that's the case, then she put on her clothes pretty quickly, it only took her less than half a minute to put on three pieces of clothing.

...No!
