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

But since it didn't work out this time, forget it. There's plenty of time, and there will be other opportunities in the future.

Asano Makoto shook his head, stopped thinking about it, took a quick shower at the gym, and went home.

...

Every clear evening at dusk, about twenty minutes after sunset, the sky would shift from warm tones to cool tones, displaying a tranquil blue.

It was rush hour, with people leaving work and school all at once, making Tokyo's buses, subways, and trains overcrowded.

Even those who drove to work were stuck in traffic.

But this had nothing to do with Asano Makoto, who still chose to take the train home.

Although it was a bit crowded, at least the speed of getting home was fixed, and he wouldn't be stuck halfway.

Today, he was very lucky. He got on the train as soon as he entered the station, and immediately got a seat.

Even though it was only two stops, it was so great to be able to sit down on the way home, and not be squeezed by people.

Taking advantage of the brief moment of sitting, Asano Makoto suddenly remembered the happy time he had spent at the hotel at noon.

His heart stirred, and he took out his phone to send a message to Kamino Yuna.

"Good evening, Little Yuna, how was your day?"

Read, no reply.

Asano Makoto raised his eyebrows.

It was 5:20 PM. The reason he sent the message now was because she must have finished school by this time.

Japanese high schools let out early, and even if she needed to participate in club activities, she would definitely have left school by now.

He had previously attended Haicheng High School, so he knew this very well.

And since it was marked as read, it naturally meant she had seen it.

"I suggest you better reply to my message, otherwise..."

Asano Makoto didn't finish, but the threatening tone in his words was not lacking at all.

This time, the phone vibrated quickly.

"Didn't see it just now, what's up?"

The tone was very cold and somewhat distant.

It seemed that after breaking free from the panicked state of this morning, and after an afternoon had passed, she had figured some things out.

But Asano Makoto didn't care, and just said to himself: "It's nothing, just wanted to check on my little pet."

Still read, no reply.

This time Asano Makoto didn't continue to threaten her. Unlike before, he understood why she wasn't replying now.

Besides, threats weren't as effective when used too often.

So he just waited quietly, and when the train was about to arrive at Takadanobaba Station, his phone vibrated again.

Kamino Yuna didn't say anything, just sent an angry little loli emoji.

Seeing this emoji, the corners of Asano Makoto's mouth couldn't help but rise.

That was enough. Kamino Yuna was more obedient than he had imagined.

"I thought you were going to ignore me again."

Asano Makoto deliberately said this, then continued to ask: "How was school this afternoon?"

His question was naturally not just to care about how Kamino Yuna's day at school was, but to find out if she had successfully fooled everyone this afternoon.

"A few people asked me about it, and I brushed them off. There were no problems with the teachers either."

"Very good, Little Yuna, well done."

Asano Makoto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was his first time doing something like this, and he was very nervous. What if she had a moment of reckless abandon and exposed him? He didn't want to go to jail at such a young age.

After the doubts in his heart completely disappeared, he began to chat with Kamino Yuna about the reason he had taken the initiative to contact her: "Let's talk about something serious, are you free this Saturday?"

Kamino Yuna's breath caught in her throat when she saw this message on the screen.

Combining it with what had happened at the love hotel at noon, she had already guessed what Asano Makoto wanted to do.

She gritted her teeth and shouted in her heart: This pervert is definitely preparing to occupy my body!

But this time she really misunderstood Asano Makoto.

Asano Makoto actually just wanted to complete the task. After all, the time limit for this task was only two weeks, so it was better to finish it as soon as possible.

And in order not to attract unexpected attention, he specifically didn't choose a school day to find Kamino Yuna, but chose Saturday.

On the other side, seemingly already immersed in strange fantasies, Kamino Yuna's face was a little red.

I'm definitely going to be like this... and that... by him. No, no! That's definitely not allowed!

But, it seems like I really can't escape this time. He has evidence... Is my first time going to be taken by this kind of person...

No, no! Kamino Yuna! You can't give up yet! There must be a way!

After struggling for a long time, Kamino Yuna decided to struggle a bit.

She picked up her phone, and her fingers quickly tapped on the screen.

Chapter 25: Angel? Succubus?

After hesitating for a while, Kamino Yuna replied with a rare firmness: "I'm busy, what's up."

But after sending this message, she suddenly regretted it, regretting that she hadn't refused more gently.

She looked nervously at the phone screen, wondering what Asano Makoto would say to her later, whether he would force her, or simply get angry and send her in.

However, none of the things she had imagined happened. Asano Makoto replied quickly, and the content was also very surprising.

"Very good, then let's go on a date then. Saturday at 9 AM, see you at Shin-Okubo Station."

"No... hey! Wait a minute, didn't you see that I said I'm busy?"

"I saw it, so what?"

Looking at Asano Makoto's nonchalant reply, Kamino Yuna angrily threw her phone aside, pounced on the bed and lay motionless.

On the train, Asano Makoto waited for a long time and didn't get a reply, so he simply put down his phone and shrugged.

At this time, the train also arrived at the station, and Asano Makoto quickly walked back to the apartment building after exiting the station.

However, after getting on the elevator and returning to the door of his house, he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, and all his muscles felt like they were being pricked by needles.

But he still gritted his teeth, insisting on taking out the key to open the door.

But that was it.

The moment he stepped into the house, he fell to the floor in the entrance hall and completely passed out.

...

The next day in the afternoon, feeling a cool sensation on his forehead, Asano Makoto suddenly woke up and sat up in bed.

He looked blankly at the familiar room, not knowing what had just happened. Before he could turn his head to observe his surroundings, a joyful voice came from his ear.

"Mr. Asano, you're finally awake!"

Asano Makoto turned to look to the side, and found a pretty figure sitting by the bed.

The afternoon sun shone in from the window, reflecting her smile, forming a hazy white light on her face.

For a moment, Asano Makoto thought he had seen an angel, and even wondered if he had died and gone to heaven.

But remembering the things he had done before, and realizing that even if he died, he could only go to hell and see a succubus instead of an angel, he became suspicious of this and woke up.

It was only then that he noticed the figure sitting beside his bed, who turned out to be his neighbor, Mrs. Miyajima Eriko.

Today, she was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt on her upper body and an ordinary black knee-length skirt on her lower body.

Although it was just a very casual outfit, she still looked exquisite and beautiful, except for the hairstyle of tying her hair up and draping it over her chest, which left Asano Makoto speechless.

She seemed to like this hairstyle very much. In just two short days, Asano Makoto had seen it several times, but as everyone knows, this is a very, very dangerous hairstyle.

"Mr. Asano, Mr. Asano? Why aren't you talking? Are you still feeling unwell anywhere?"

"No, I just, I just feel a little... hiss! I really seem to be unwell."

Seeing Miyajima Eriko ask with a concerned expression, Asano Makoto finally came back to his senses and quickly explained, but before he could finish speaking, the discomfort in his body interrupted him.

He suddenly felt a wave of fatigue welling up from the depths of his body, exactly like the feeling after working overtime for several days straight in his previous life.

In addition to this, he also felt that his muscles were extremely sore and swollen, and there was also a faint pain.

He sat on the bed, holding his head and hunching over, occasionally letting out two muffled groans, silently enduring the pain.

Seriously, for a moment he really wanted to die, even if he died, he wouldn't want to continue suffering like this.

Just then, a cool touch made him a little more awake, and also slightly reduced the pain in his body.

Not long ago, it was because he felt the same cool touch that he was able to wake up successfully.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look over.

What came into view was Miyajima Eriko's beautiful face with a worried expression, and her tender right hand holding his wrist.

Asano Makoto was suddenly a little stunned.

Perhaps he had never noticed it, but he, who was reborn into a new world, was lonely.

Not long after being reborn into this world as a newborn baby, he and his parents were in a car accident on the way home.

Although he was very lucky to survive in the back seat at the time, he was also unfortunately orphaned and adopted by a children's welfare home, and then began to live alone in this world.

Although being alone was a bit lonely, because he had enough money, he could buy whatever he wanted, and he also had two houses, so he didn't have to worry about accommodation. Such a life was not unacceptable.
