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

To the point that later, when chatting with Asano Makoto, she never proactively brought up topics related to relationships.

Asano Makoto chose to respect this.

After all, in the beginning, they weren't that familiar, and their relationship hadn't reached that stage yet. It was a crucial period for building goodwill, and it wasn't worth risking it just to satisfy a verbal urge.

So, after realizing that Konno Yuuka was deeply averse to these topics, he always actively avoided them to avoid being disliked by her.

However, later on, even though their relationship gradually became closer, and they could casually joke around about most things, he always felt like something was slightly off.

It was at this point that Asano Makoto realized something was wrong and understood the root of the problem.

For a girl with Konno Yuuka's personality, just making ordinary jokes and chatting about normal topics with her didn't have much effect.

For someone as outgoing as her, she could basically chat with anyone.

In the end, even if he had a good relationship with her, he would still feel like there was an invisible wall between them.

This was also why Asano Makoto was always worried about becoming just friends with her, because if he didn't try to change, 'good buddies' would be the limit of their relationship.

And the best way to change this was to talk to her about more explicit topics.

To put it simply: make dirty jokes.

This may sound a bit vulgar, but that was the reality.

If he could often chat with her about topics between men and women, or have some intimate physical contact, he could successfully make her shy, and also make the atmosphere between them ambiguous.

Only in this way could she realize the difference between men and women.

Only in this way could their relationship go further.

Otherwise, no matter how good their relationship was, it would only be ordinary friends.

So, taking advantage of the good atmosphere this time, and the fact that Konno Yuuka's goodwill was already very high, allowing for a decent margin of error, Asano Makoto chose to take a slight risk and make a joke.

The result was unexpectedly good.

Just then, Asano Makoto suddenly realized something.

He wondered if there was a possibility that Konno Yuuka didn't actually hate these topics; she was just selective about who she talked about them with.

Konno Yuuka would only feel disgusted by a fool like Shida Youichi, who revealed all his bad intentions, but in the past, she couldn't openly scold him because of his status as her boyfriend.

But if it was Asano Makoto, who had always shown restraint and never revealed his lecherous side in front of her, Konno Yuuka would only be surprised by such a joke, and wouldn't hate him for it.

After figuring these things out, Asano Makoto instantly felt that the road ahead was much clearer.

And just as he was happy about this, Konno Yuuka on the other side was filled with regret.

She didn't know why she had suddenly gotten carried away just now, actually saying something like that.

Using such a thing to prove her charm was just too stupid!

Damn it! It's all this idiot's fault, why does he always act so indifferent towards me?

And why did he suddenly make such strange jokes! Isn't this just making it easy for the conversation to die!?

But, but... what if he didn't realize I was joking...?

Although Konno Yuuka believed that Asano Makoto knew she was just joking with him and wouldn't really do anything, but... what if?

With nervousness, and a hint of anticipation, she came back to her senses and looked at Asano Makoto again.

Then she instantly relaxed.

Because Asano Makoto was currently stunned there, the expression on his face as if to say, "Did I just hear that wrong?", even looking a little flustered.

Seeing his reaction, Konno Yuuka was relieved.

Because this showed that Asano Makoto was really just joking and wasn't planning to do anything.

Or rather, he might not have the guts to do so.

Realizing this, Konno Yuuka, no longer nervous, instantly became bold.

She pushed open the door and slowly walked to the sofa.

Then she suddenly stepped forward, gently leaning her body against Asano Makoto's, bringing her face closer, and said with a hint of provocation, "Asano-kun, I wasn't joking. If you want to see, I can show you."

This distance was actually very common for the two of them. Yesterday, when they were bored watching TV at home, they were sitting together like this, with their bodies close together.

Noticing the suppressed smile on Konno Yuuka's lips, and that smug expression, Asano Makoto couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised in his heart.

Wait, is she really that bold?

Or is she really thinking that I don't dare to look?

And just as Asano Makoto was thinking this, perhaps because she hadn't received his response after waiting for a long time, Konno Yuuka became even more certain that he wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

So, Konno Yuuka became even bolder.

She bumped Asano Makoto next to her with her right shoulder, and continued to provoke, "Asano-kun, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity~~~ Don't you want to see? Or..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped, leaning her head slightly forward, bringing her mouth close to Asano Makoto's ear.

Then she gently blew a breath and whispered, "Asano-kun, do you really not want to see? Or is it that Asano-kun is a coward and doesn't dare to look at all?"

After saying that, she sat back in her original position, facing Asano Makoto, with a smile that she could no longer suppress on her face, even squinting her eyes as she laughed.

In an instant, Asano Makoto felt the muscles on his eyelids and face twitch a couple of times.

He was really being looked down upon!

Thinking of this, a cold smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded, saying, "Okay, then take off your clothes now."

Konno Yuuka was stunned, even the smile on her face froze there.

She didn't expect Asano Makoto to suddenly change his face and actually nod in agreement.

But in the next second, she suddenly realized that Asano Makoto was likely bluffing.

Hmph! He's definitely bluffing!

Based on my understanding of him, that must be the case!

Thinking of this, the smile reappeared on her face, and then she reached out with her left hand and grabbed the collar of the Asano Makoto's T-shirt she was currently wearing, pulling it out slightly.

"Okay, then come over and take a good look~"

Chapter 274: As Radiant as the Sun

"Okay, then you come over and take a good look."

Konno Yuuka said, while grabbing the collar of her clothes and pulling it out slightly.

Coupled with the smug expression on her face, her behavior at this moment looked like both a provocation and a temptation.

However, seeing her actions, Asano Makoto almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Konno Yuuka looked like she was sure he was bluffing and wouldn't do anything to her.

But since you've said so, then I don't need to continue pretending to be a gentleman!

Thinking of this, a smile of success couldn't help but appear on the corner of Asano Makoto's mouth.

He looked at Konno Yuuka, whose face was full of confidence, but didn't know what was about to happen, and asked with a smile, "Oh? Are you really sure you want me to look? Then I'm going to look, don't regret it when I'm done looking at you."

Hearing this, Konno Yuuka was stunned again.

This time she was completely flustered.

Just now she could deceive herself by saying that Asano Makoto was bluffing.

But looking at his reaction now, how could it be fake?!

No matter how you think about it, his expression is the reaction of a long-planned conspiracy succeeding, okay!

Konno Yuuka suddenly felt very regretful, but it was too late to say anything now.

Since things have come to this point, it's not just a matter of joking or not. Stranded, she can only hope that everything Asano Makoto is showing now is fake, and what he said is also a joke.

So, she tried her best to maintain the provocative smile on her slightly flushed face, and snorted, continuing to act tough, "If you dare to look, then look, anyway, anyway... Hmph! Anyway, you don't have the guts!"

Although she said that, her upper body subconsciously leaned back a little, and even the hand pulling open the collar slightly retracted.

She seemed to be trying hard to continue looking Asano Makoto in the eye, to show that she wasn't joking.

But her subconsciously dodging gaze revealed all her little thoughts.

Asano Makoto noticed her actions, but didn't say anything, just secretly laughed twice in his heart.

It was obvious that her calm appearance now was fake.

The eyes that hid a hint of regret and nervousness, and the smile on her face that was obviously forced.

All of this showed that she actually knew everything, but was just too embarrassed to take back what she said because she cared about her face, or simply because she didn't dare to face reality.

Looking at her stubborn little expression, Asano Makoto really wanted to laugh out loud.

He only realized today that Konno Yuuka seemed to be a surprisingly idiot.

Normally, at this time, one should first say something like "What are you thinking, of course it's fake, you pervert" to end this joke.

This would both avoid accidents and easily end the topic.

Only Konno Yuuka, this idiot, chose to be stubborn. She didn't seem to have considered what kind of pervert Asano Makoto was at all.

Or no, thinking of Asano Makoto's consistent disguise, maybe it was precisely because she had considered it, and felt that he was a gentleman who wouldn't do anything out of line to her, that Konno Yuuka made such a choice?

Rather, this possibility is very high.

Honestly, Asano Makoto was very grateful for Konno Yuuka's trust, in every way.

But for some reason, he suddenly became a little curious at this moment.

If Yuna Shinno or Erico Miyajima encountered a similar situation, what choices would they make?

Yuna, in the beginning, wouldn't make such a joke with him at all. She would just bite him and curse him to die.

But if it was her now... um, she would most likely take off her clothes cleanly with a face full of charm, and then push him down even further.
