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

She truly cannot forgive infidelity in a relationship.

Even if someone is maintaining ambiguous relationships with multiple women without actually establishing a romantic partnership, she would at most comment, "He's a bit of a scumbag, juggling several people at once," rather than being completely unable to accept it.

But the problem is, Yoichi Shida from her high school days was already her boyfriend.

As mentioned before, the two were childhood sweethearts who had known each other since they were young.

Shortly after graduating from middle school, Yoichi Shida made a heartfelt confession to Yuka Konno, and she, who also harbored some affection for Yoichi Shida, accepted.

So, she really doesn't want to accept that her trustworthy boyfriend, whom she has always relied on, would immediately start messing around behind her back after going to high school and being separated from her.

You know, they hadn't even been in a relationship for half a year at that time!

For Yuka Konno, this is betrayal.

Not to mention that Yoichi Shida was playing around so outrageously.

Frequent changes, and regardless of gender or age! This is even more outrageous than some of the things she has seen in the agency.

And Yoichi Shida actually did it for a full four years... no, maybe even longer!

How can she accept this? How can she not feel angry?

Now, just thinking about the person who swore to her in the past that he would never betray her being such a scumbag, and that she had been deceived by him for so long, makes her feel nauseous.

At the same time, she is also grateful that she has always maintained a clean reputation and that she has been busy with agency training, not having much time to meet with Yoichi Shida.

Therefore, she was very fortunate to have avoided a disaster, not listening to Yoichi Shida's almost constant hints every time they met, and not being tricked into sleeping with him.

On the other side, seeing Yuka Konno's unpredictable expression, Makoto Asano knew that she had taken his words to heart.

However, to be on the safe side, he reinforced his statement again: "Konno-san, as I said before, this is all just hearsay, so even if you don't believe it, it's okay to treat it as nonsense. I just hope it doesn't damage the relationship between you and your boyfriend."

Actually, it would have been better if he hadn't said that. The moment he said that, Yuka Konno was reminded again of the things she had just heard.

In order to maintain basic politeness, her excellent model and idol training made her subconsciously force a smile on her face.

But thinking that she is still wearing a mask, Makoto Asano can't actually see her expression at all.

She simply stopped trying to manage her expression and said helplessly, "It's okay, Asano-kun. These things are what I wanted to know myself, and I have my own judgment... But I still want to thank you for being willing to tell me these things."

"You're welcome. It's my duty."

Seeing that her emotions were still stable, Makoto Asano nodded politely, then continued to ask, "Then, Konno-san, is there anything else you need my help with?"

In fact, there was another sentence behind this, "If you don't, then I do," that he didn't say.

From the current situation, from the moment he finished telling about Yoichi Shida's high school experiences, Yuka Konno had obtained everything she needed from him.

In other words, if there are no accidents, Yuka Konno probably won't specifically ask him out again.

This is the truth, cruel, but there is no other way.

After all, the two of them can only be considered strangers who met by chance, and it is normal to not have further contact.

However, this is not a good thing for Makoto Asano.

So, he must find a way to maintain contact between himself and Yuka Konno.

However, what Makoto Asano didn't expect was that Yuka Konno really did have something else she needed help with.

"Asano-kun, there is indeed one more thing I would like to ask you to help with."

But perhaps because she was embarrassed to bother Makoto Asano again, or perhaps because the thing she needed help with was more troublesome.

She, who had always been straightforward, visibly became a little hesitant when she said this.

On the other side, Makoto Asano subconsciously froze for a moment when he heard this, but after reacting, he immediately felt a hint of unexpected joy.

But on the surface, he still maintained his usual calm appearance and nodded, "What is it? Tell me, if it's something I can help with, I will definitely help you."

"Thank you, Asano-kun, it's really too much trouble for you."

Seeing that he was not angry because she kept asking him for help, Yuka Konno breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Makoto Asano.

But then, she became hesitant again, and said somewhat awkwardly, "That, Asano-kun, I want to ask, can you please..."

Although she was a little unable to say it because she knew very well that this request was not very reasonable, perhaps because the desire to verify the information was even stronger.

In the end, Yuka Konno finally said, "Asano-kun, can you please tell me the contact information of some of your high school classmates?"

Hearing this, Makoto Asano immediately couldn't help but frown.

He can understand why Yuka Konno is doing this.

It's nothing more than wanting to ask a few more people about the situation to judge whether the romantic affairs of her boyfriend that she just heard are true, or whether Asano Makoto is deceiving her.

This has nothing to do with trust, it's simply the most basic verification.

Rather, it would be strange if Yuka Konno didn't do this and directly believed Asano Makoto's statement.

But the problem is, no matter where you are, asking someone for another person's contact information is a very impolite thing.

And because it involves personal privacy, the person being asked usually also feels a little embarrassed.

So, unless there is a real emergency, few people usually do this, and even if they do, they will only ask someone they are familiar with.

And Yuka Konno's relationship with Makoto Asano is not too familiar yet, so she shouldn't have asked this question even more.

However, the reason why she asked Asano Makoto for help with this matter was actually because her boyfriend's matter made her somewhat lose her composure, and she didn't consider things as carefully as before.

So, after seeing Asano Makoto's slightly frowned brow, she immediately realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said.

Feeling a little regretful in her heart, she hurriedly added, "No, Asano-kun, forget it, it's really too difficult for you to help with this kind of thing, and I didn't consider your feelings... I'm sorry, just pretend I didn't say it."

When she said this sentence with a heart full of apology, Yuka Konno secretly decided not to bother Asano Makoto anymore.

She will continue to investigate this matter with her own strength, and after finding conclusive evidence and breaking up with Yoichi Shida, she will invite Asano Makoto out for a meal to show her gratitude.

But Asano Makoto doesn't know what Yuka Konno is thinking.

If he knew, he would definitely shout loudly, "It's not troublesome, not troublesome at all."

And the reason why he frowned just now was simply because he couldn't remember for a while which corner he had stuffed that farewell booklet with the contact information of many female classmates into.

He doesn't feel that Yuka Konno asking him for his classmates' contact information has troubled him, nor does he feel embarrassed because he doesn't want to expose other people's privacy.

On the contrary, he is even more eager for Yuka Konno's help.

If it is to complete the task, then even if he throws all the contact information of his high school classmates to Yuka Konno, he will have no psychological pressure.

Anyway, they are not very familiar, he doesn't care at all whether he has violated the privacy of that group of "strangers".

By the way, that booklet was specially made for him by several female classmates in the class who had ideas about him after learning that he was going to drop out of school midway.

At that time, they said: As classmates, even if they are not very familiar for various reasons, or even if they are separated from each other in the end, they should not break contact because of this.

Although Asano Makoto felt a little speechless when he heard this at the time, he eventually accepted the booklet that the girls whose names he couldn't even name specially made for him.

Now he only feels fortunate for his decision at the time.

Going back to the topic, even if he finds that booklet, and at the same time doesn't mind telling the contact information of those classmates, he won't directly give it to Yuka Konno for her to contact herself.

Because if he does that, he will become someone who is excluded from this incident.

So, after quickly thinking for a while and thinking of a good countermeasure.

He immediately pretended to be a little hesitant and said to Yuka Konno, "Konno-san, I really can't give you the contact information, but I can help you in another way."

Yuka Konno, who was still thinking about other countermeasures because she thought she had lost Asano Makoto's help, immediately raised her head and subconsciously asked, "What way?"

However, Asano Makoto didn't answer directly, but first asked back, "Konno-san, if I'm not mistaken, you asked me for those people's contact information because you also want to ask them the same question, right?"

Hearing this question, Yuka Konno nodded, agreeing with his statement.

So, Asano Makoto continued to speak with a serious face, "Although I can't give you the contact information, I can help you contact them and ask about Yoichi-kun, you can listen from the side."

This time, even through the mask, Asano Makoto seemed to be able to see the grateful expression on Yuka Konno's face.

"But Konno-san, please don't be so excited yet"

But before she could thank him, Asano Makoto immediately interrupted, "—I don't have the contact information of those classmates stored in my phone, but written in a booklet, and I don't know where I threw that booklet, so if you want to contact them, you can only go to my house to look for it first."

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed the topic and asked, "I don't know if Konno-san has time now, would you be willing to go to my house? Or do you want to wait until I find the booklet next time before contacting you?"

This time, facing the question of money and food, Yuka Konno did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded and said, "No problem, Asano-kun, I have time, I can go now."

Hearing this, Asano Makoto finally couldn't help but show a smile of triumph on his face.

But just as he quickly adjusted his expression, ready to say something, he suddenly heard a system prompt in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host is deceiving an innocent girl, a temporary side quest has now been activated.]

[Quest Requirements: Make intimate physical contact with Yuka Konno, limited to twelve hours.]

[Quest Completion Reward: 500 points of pure love value, charm value increased by 0.1.]

[Quest Failure Penalty: Debut as an underground idol in women's clothing.]

Chapter 142 Curiosity (3k, 4/5, extra 4)

The moment he heard the task prompt, Asano Makoto subconsciously held his breath, and the expression on his face almost didn't hold back.

The requirements of this task are actually very easy to understand, he has completed two similar tasks on Eriko Miyajima and Risa Kanno respectively before.

But when doing the task at that time, they were all in a good time, and a little means can create the opportunity to contact.

And this time, Yuka Konno is neither drunk nor needs help dealing with the wound, so Asano Makoto can't think of any chance to start for a while.

On the other side, seeing his expression suddenly become a little strange, Yuka Konno couldn't help but feel puzzled: "Asano-kun, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Asano Makoto reacted and hurriedly covered up, "Ah! No, I just suddenly thought of something from the past."

"I see."

It should be an unhappy memory... Yuka Konno nodded in understanding, and didn't ask any more questions.

Asano Makoto took the opportunity to change the subject: "Konno-san, then shall we go now? Because I don't know where it was put, it may take a while to find."

"Okay..."

Yuka Konno subconsciously nodded in agreement, but she suddenly reacted, she called Asano Makoto out this time to treat him to dinner.
