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

However, Asano Makoto understood why she didn't mention these things.

After all, loving a family member isn't something you can easily broadcast. Of course, it's also possible that she simply hasn't realized it herself.

In any case, in the sixteen years since becoming a mother, she had long accepted this role, treating Shinno Yuna as her own, regarding her as her real daughter.

After Shinno Risa finished recounting the Shinno family's secrets, the atmosphere in the small private room became slightly heavy, and Shinno Risa's aura was as well.

Just then, the female owner who had taken the menu earlier returned to the private room.

In her hands, she carried the dishes they had ordered earlier, along with a bottle of shochu and several bottles of beer.

Shinno Risa had ordered a salad, fried cartilage chicken, and a plate of edamame, all very cheap and plentiful items that could last a long time.

Asano Makoto had ordered a chicken steak with soft-boiled egg rice bowl, a grilled skewer platter, and grilled sea bream, focusing on large portions that would fill him up.

After the food was served, Asano Makoto smiled and nodded at the female owner, who had a worried expression, signaling that everything was fine, and then waved her away.

After she left the private room with frequent backward glances, Asano Makoto turned back and saw that Shinno Risa still had that lost look on her face.

He knew that even if he couldn't bring himself to do it, he had to say something to comfort her.

After thinking for a moment, he silently poured a glass of shochu for Shinno Risa, and then poured one for himself.

Then, he raised his glass and said, "Shinno-aunt, how about a sip first?"

"Okay."

After toasting and taking a sip with Shinno Risa, Asano Makoto spoke in a joking tone, "Shinno-aunt, may I call you Shinno-san in the future?"

"...What?"

Shinno Risa thought she had drunk too much and misheard.

But that was impossible, she had only taken a sip of alcohol just now.

She couldn't understand why Asano Makoto suddenly brought up the matter of address, without any warning.

Seeing her confused expression, Asano Makoto explained, "Since Shinno-san, you are not Yuna's mother, then I don't need to call you aunt anymore."

Hearing this, Shinno Risa immediately became hesitant, trying to argue, "This... although I am indeed not her biological mother, but, but in name, I..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Asano Makoto interrupted with a smile, "Shinno-san, actually, I wanted to say this a long time ago, calling a young and beautiful lady like you 'aunt' is really, really awkward."

"So, may I call you Shinno-san?"

Faced with Asano Makoto's straightforward praise, Shinno Risa's face couldn't help but turn red.

After thinking for a long time but unable to think of how to refute Asano Makoto, she had to look away and mutter in a low voice, "You're really glib, I'm starting to wonder if Yuna was deceived by your mouth."

Unconsciously, she had already escaped from the heavy atmosphere, and could speak to Asano Makoto in a tone like talking to a friend.

This was partly due to the increase in her favorability, but more importantly, it was because they had shared a secret, which instantly brought the two closer.

Of course, Asano Makoto's "glibness" also contributed a lot.

On the other hand, after hearing Shinno Risa's words, Asano Makoto knew that she had completely accepted this title.

He smiled and continued, "So I quite like my mouth, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get Yuna, and I wouldn't be able to meet Shinno-san."

"And I'm not kidding, Shinno-san is really young and beautiful, maybe her age is only enough to be my older sister."

He was trying to reduce the "son-in-law and mother-in-law" relationship between himself and Shinno Risa as much as possible, while constructing an identity that was as equal as possible to her.

And after hearing these words, Shinno Risa's face turned even redder, she scolded softly, "Asano-kun, it's very impolite to talk to elders like that."

Although it seemed like criticism, the [Favorability +2] notification that sounded in his mind wouldn't lie.

So, Asano Makoto just chuckled and then raised his glass to invite her to drink again.

After all, if he didn't drink and get Shinno Risa drunk, he wouldn't be able to complete the mission smoothly.

Fortunately, perhaps because she had spoken the secret that had been stuck in her heart all night, Shinno Risa, who felt a lot lighter, almost never refused Asano Makoto's invitations to drink.

Watching Shinno Risa drinking non-stop, Asano Makoto secretly laughed twice in his heart, and then called the female owner to ask for two more bottles of shochu, and several other bottles of different types of alcohol.

This mission should be completed very easily.

That's what he originally thought.

However, unfortunately, he was completely wrong this time.

Because after drinking for a while, he suddenly realized with some despair that with his current 7 points of stamina, he couldn't even outdrink Shinno Risa, a woman.

After drinking half of the second bottle of shochu, along with three large glasses of draft beer and a glass of whiskey cocktail, Asano Makoto felt like he couldn't drink anymore.

He felt dizzy and a little nauseous.

Fortunately, he didn't show it on his face when he drank, so Shinno Risa, who was sitting opposite him, didn't notice anything unusual.

As for Shinno Risa, who drank the exact same amount as him, only looked slightly flushed at the moment.

Asano Makoto even suspected that her blushing might not be because of the alcohol, but because she was embarrassed by his compliments just now.

Looking at the other party's extremely clear eyes looking towards him, Asano Makoto couldn't hold back a little, and almost couldn't help but want to directly use the ultimate move.

However, after thinking for a while, he regained his composure and temporarily suppressed this idea.

After all, that thing was not very stable, and it would be ridiculous if he spent a lot of pure love points and accidentally drew it wrong.

After thinking about it, he decided to continue implementing Plan A, so he made an excuse to go to the toilet.

After locking himself in the cubicle, he immediately opened the system and spent 200 pure love points to buy a bottle of stamina potion, and then directly gulped it down his throat.

In an instant, he only felt that his head was completely clear, and his body returned to its best condition.

Damn it, I swear I won't be a cuckold if I don't get you drunk! I must blow you up today!

Thinking of this, Asano Makoto ignored the somewhat strange gazes of the others in the toilet and returned to the private room with momentum.

After greeting Shinno Risa and sitting down again, he just ate two bites of food and continued to urge her to drink.

Shinno Risa didn't think much, but continued to chat with him and drink with him as before.

However, just as the second bottle of shochu was finished, and Asano Makoto was preparing to open the third bottle of shochu, Shinno Risa suddenly spoke.

"Asano-kun, didn't you say before that you had something you wanted to say to me? About Little Yuna."

Shinno Risa brought up this matter at this time because the food was almost finished, but Asano Makoto still didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, so she felt a little anxious.

Hearing her words, Asano Makoto was slightly stunned, and then immediately felt a headache.

Because he didn't have anything he wanted to say to Shinno Risa at all, that sentence was just a lie made up to extend tonight's dinner.

But now that Shinno Risa has taken the initiative to mention it, he can't just not say anything...

Thinking like this, Asano Makoto began to think.

And after thinking for a while, he really thought of a topic.

In fact, he had thought of this topic a long time ago, but he was not ready to say it so early at that time, but was going to save it for later.

But looking at Shinno Risa's current high favorability of 40 points, he suddenly felt that there was no need to wait so long.

"To be precise, it's actually about Yuna's father."

"He? What does it have to do with him."

Shinno Risa couldn't understand why the topic would suddenly turn to Shinno Hiroki.

"That's right, it's about Hiroki-san."

Faced with her confusion, Asano Makoto just nodded seriously, and then asked in a very serious tone.

"Shinno-san, can you please divorce him, divorce Shinno Hiroki?"

Chapter 121 You've never seen a gangster before! (1/2)

Shinno Risa only felt incredulous at this moment.

She didn't expect Asano Makoto to say such rude words, and subconsciously asked back, "Asano-kun, why would you say such a thing?"

"Shinno-san, your family should owe money, and a lot of it, right?"

Asano Makoto still maintained that serious expression and directly stated, "If I'm not mistaken, all of this should be because Hiroki-san has become addicted to gambling, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted like that before, and mistaken me for a subordinate of the creditor."

"..."

Shinno Risa was silent, she didn't know how to refute.

Because what Asano Makoto said was the truth, and Shinno Hiroki's crazy performance that day could already explain everything.

"Shinno-san, you're not refuting me? Then that should be a default, right?"

Seeing Shinno Risa pursing her lips and not speaking, Asano Makoto continued, "Actually, if it was just like this, it would be fine, and I wouldn't say much, maybe I could help you pay off some of it - just like I said before, I've saved a lot of money over the years, and it should be enough to pay off your debts."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, with a worried expression on his face: "It's just that, looking at Hiroki-san's performance, his creditor might be... might be someone from those organizations."

Hearing the last sentence, Shinno Risa's face suddenly turned pale.

In fact, she also thought so, Shinno Hiroki's various performances all showed that the creditor named "Takimoto-aniki" had a somewhat extraordinary origin.

And at this moment, she also probably knew what Asano Makoto wanted to say.

Sure enough, as she expected.

After a long period of hesitation, Asano Makoto slowly opened his mouth: "Although in principle, this is a family matter of Shinno-san's family, and I, an outsider, shouldn't interrupt, but as Yuna's boyfriend, I am really worried that this matter will affect Yuna."

"You should know what I mean, Shinno-san, although the gangs of today seem to be much better than before, everyone knows that this is just the surface."

"Now you can still help Hiroki-san repay some of the debt through hard work, so they haven't done anything to you and Yuna."

"But after a while, when Hiroki-san owes more debt, so much that you can't repay, I don't need to say more about what heinous things they will do in order to get the money, right?"

With the improvement of the rule of law, most of the gangs in Japan today seem to have been "whitewashed".

Unlike most other countries, gang members in Japan can register to give the gang and their identity legitimacy.

They can even legally operate this "violent group" under the name of "non-profit organization" or "foundation".
