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

Yuna Kanno frowned, completely puzzled.

However, realizing that the uncle was still waiting for her at the entrance, she shook her head, temporarily putting the matter aside, and quickly walked towards him.

Chapter 31: Yuna Kanno Scared to Pee Her Pants

Seeing Yuna Kanno walk up to him, Makoto Asano asked with a smile, "Why are you so late? Did the teacher keep you after class?"

There was no blame in his words; it sounded like he was joking, and Yuna Kanno's face turned red upon hearing this.

The reason she was so late was that she had been feeling tired lately due to family matters, and she accidentally fell asleep during the last class today.

By the time she woke up, almost half the people in the school had already left.

However, she was a very polite and well-mannered child, and despite feeling embarrassed, she immediately bowed and apologized after realizing that she had kept Makoto Asano waiting for a long time.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Asano, I was a little slow packing up after school, and I made you wait, didn't I?"

Even good children occasionally tell harmless little lies.

To this, Makoto Asano simply chuckled softly and said understandingly, "It's okay, I actually just arrived too, didn't wait long."

Then he continued, "Shall we go? I'll take you to my house first. After all, you'll be living there from today onwards, and it would be quite troublesome if you didn't know the way, right?"

Seeing Yuna Kanno just nod without saying anything, looking uninterested, Makoto Asano was slightly taken aback.

However, after pondering for a while, he understood the reason and a new plan formed in his mind.

But for now, he didn't reveal his thoughts, and instead calmly walked towards the street corner not far away.

Yuna Kanno followed him, and then she saw Makoto Asano open the door of a black car parked by the roadside with a look of astonishment.

She didn't know the specific model of this car, but just by looking at it, she knew it was a very expensive luxury car.

The reason for her shock was naturally because she didn't expect this Uncle Asano, who looked about the same age as her, to be so rich that he could afford such a good car.

You know, her dad only drives an old Suzuki bought many years ago, and it was recently mortgaged to pay off debts…

On the other side, Makoto Asano had already gotten into the brand new Audi RS7 and started beckoning Yuna Kanno to get in.

This car was naturally something he had just conjured up. Considering the plan for later, he thought it would be more convenient to have a car, but the main reason was that he didn't want to have to squeeze onto the train even in his dreams.

Anyway, since he was in a dream, he, with his "Dream Demon" skill, could conjure up anything within his understanding with just a thought.

However, in order not to let Yuna Kanno see anything too outrageous and suspect his dream and then wake up, he didn't do anything too excessive.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to conjure up a plane just now? Or simply teleport Yuna Kanno directly to the destination?

As for why he conjured up this car, it was simply because he, like Yuna Kanno, was the kind of person who knew nothing about cars, and only knew Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi besides a few sports car brands.

And because he had seen the Audi RS7 when he was watching videos before, and thought it was very cool, he had slightly remembered it. Coincidentally, he needed something like this this time, so he subconsciously thought of this car.

At this moment, Yuna Kanno had already sat in dazedly, and Makoto Asano started the car directly after the other party was seated.

Because he was in a dream, he wasn't actually driving, but controlling it with his mind. If he wanted to, he could even make the car fly into the sky on the spot.

But for the same reason, he didn't do anything too excessive, except for one thing—in Yuna Kanno's shocked gaze, he directly floored the accelerator.

Looking at the rapidly increasing numbers on the dashboard and the constantly changing scenery outside the car window, Yuna Kanno almost peed her pants. Her delicate face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a miserable scream came from her throat.

But Makoto Asano, hearing the sound, ignored it and instead stepped on the accelerator again, directly increasing the car's speed to over 200 kilometers per hour, scaring Yuna Kanno into another scream.

Makoto Asano did this on purpose, he wanted to make Yuna Kanno feel stimulated, preferably scaring her to tears.

Because the time point of this dream he constructed was shortly after Yuna Kanno had just encountered family changes.

At this time, she hadn't met that "Gal-type Senior" yet, and naturally hadn't been influenced by the other party. She was still the same as before, a very kind and pure good child.

But in a sense, it was precisely because she was too sensible a good child that she was unwilling to tell others her worries, and the pressure had nowhere to release.

When Makoto Asano came to pick her up at school, she sighed from time to time, and her lack of interest when Makoto Asano said he would take her home, all indicated that she had accumulated a lot of pressure in her heart.

If this pressure couldn't be released, it would only accumulate more and more in her heart, so later she would be bewitched and become a gal, running to the train to extort money, so the series of events that followed would happen.

In short, in the heart of the "good child" Yuna Kanno, a heart that wanted to become a "bad child" appeared due to pressure.

And what Makoto Asano was doing now was to release the pressure in Yuna Kanno's heart through high-intensity stimulation. If he had to give an example, it should be similar to riding a roller coaster or bungee jumping.

He wasn't afraid that he would have a car accident, because after getting in the car, he had already eliminated all the cars on the road except for his own.

In this way, under Makoto Asano's rapid speeding, he quickly took Yuna Kanno to the destination this time—not his home, but the famous Shin-Okubo commercial street in East Shinjuku.

In Yuna Kanno's still terrified gaze, Makoto Asano directly parked the car on the side of the road and got out of the car.

Yuna Kanno, who had reacted, also quickly unfastened her seat belt and got out, and even almost fell to the ground because she was too flustered, but fortunately Makoto Asano quickly supported her.

After regaining her footing, Yuna Kanno took a few deep breaths to calm her violently beating heart.

Then she put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows high, made an angry look, and said to Makoto Asano in a reproachful tone, "Uncle Asano, please don't drive so fast next time! It's very easy to have a car accident like this, you know!?"

Despite the reprimand, it sounded like it had no deterrent power at all with her cute movements and soft tone.

So Makoto Asano just smiled and apologized, sounding insincere.

Seeing him like this, Yuna Kanno almost fainted, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

In fact, Makoto Asano guessed correctly.

Although she was terribly afraid that she might die here today when she was in the car, and almost lost her balance after getting out of the car due to the sudden change in speed, after recovering, Yuna Kanno felt an unspeakable sense of comfort in her heart.

Her heart therefore subconsciously didn't blame Makoto Asano much, and she only said two sentences that seemed to be teaching but were actually complaining. Then, after Makoto Asano apologized extremely insincerely, the matter was over.

Compared to Makoto Asano's reckless speeding on the road, Yuna Kanno was more concerned about why he brought her here.

Could it be that his home is here?

Thinking of this, Yuna Kanno directly asked the doubts in her heart.

However, Makoto Asano didn't answer, but showed a somewhat mysterious smile.

He brought Yuna Kanno here naturally for the business of this trip, which was also the most important part of his plan.

But now these are still secrets, because he wants to give Yuna Kanno a surprise.

Chapter 32: The Main Theme is Redemption

The surprise in Makoto Asano's mouth wasn't anything strange, it was really just a pure surprise.

From the time she arrived at the commercial street until the end of the dream, he took Yuna Kanno to eat, drink, and have fun in this paradise for consumers. Everything that should be eaten and played was not left out.

Yuna Kanno was very restrained at first, but later she gradually let go and devoted herself to having fun.

Moreover, under Makoto Asano's strong request, she had now taken off her plain school uniform and put on a white dress, and also let down the rustic braid she had before.

Looking at herself in the mirror, who had completely changed her appearance, Yuna Kanno showed a heartfelt smile on her face.

She hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Although her parents were both very good people, they both had their own jobs and rarely had time to take her out to play. She had never had the experience of having so much fun.

Moreover, since that day, the atmosphere at home had not been as harmonious as in the past. The number of quarrels between her parents was gradually increasing, and even the number of times the family sat down to eat together had decreased.

Yuna Kanno, who had been living in this oppressive environment all this time, was now finally completely relaxed under Makoto Asano's guidance.

Looking at the heartfelt smile on her face, Makoto Asano couldn't help but recall the terrible appearance she had when he first met her on the train, and then sighed deeply in his heart.

He guessed correctly before. Yuna Kanno was essentially a pitiful child, not only had she accumulated a lot of pressure due to family changes, but she also lacked love from her parents.

Otherwise, later she wouldn't have had her filial piety deteriorate after her father became a useless person who only knew how to drink and gamble, and she would have secretly fallen in love with the mother who worked hard to support the whole family alone.

And she herself wouldn't have been easily bewitched and gone astray, becoming this ghostly appearance now.

It was still too late to meet her, otherwise…

This idea only appeared for a moment, and Makoto Asano immediately shook his head and put it aside.

Because he felt that even now it wasn't too late. Yuna Kanno hadn't gone astray for too long, it wasn't like she was completely beyond saving.

And what he was doing now was to make up for Yuna Kanno's past in the dream, and put on the identity of an adult uncle to make her feel "fatherly love", and thereby subtly influence her heart.

Although Makoto Asano was doing these things more to lay the foundation for his pure love route with Yuna Kanno in the future.

Like those other things he said, such as correcting Yuna Kanno's personality, trying to make her return to her original pure and kind good child, etc., were actually just incidental in this process.

But this didn't affect Makoto Asano's heart that mainly focused on redemption and wanted to make her return to a good child. After all, compared to Yuna Kanno's previous annoying little devil appearance, he still preferred her current appearance of smiling happily in front of him.

Even if he took ten thousand steps back, the current Yuna Kanno was much better looking than when she was wearing gal makeup.

……

Yuna Kanno opened her eyes, looking somewhat dazed at the classroom that was already more than half empty, and the few students around her who were packing up their things.

After thinking for a while with her brain that hadn't fully woken up, she figured out the situation: it was after school time, and it had been for a while.

Although she didn't know why she would sleep in class, and she didn't know why she slept for so long, she immediately stood up and prepared to pack up her things and go home, because she had to rush to review the knowledge she had learned in the past few days.

However, at the moment she stood up, her delicate body suddenly froze, and her face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She remembered, she remembered the dream she had when she fell asleep just now, and she also remembered the blond uncle who took her to have a lot of fun.

And the reason her body was trembling was precisely because of that blond uncle.

Why… why was the uncle in the dream the pervert she had met before?

Thinking of this, Yuna Kanno's already very pale face became even more bleak. She even suspected that she had taken the wrong medicine today, and actually dreamed of Makoto Asano, and the other party's identity in the dream was the uncle who was very good to her.

Unable to figure it out, she didn't think of the reason in the end, and her whole person became somewhat muddled because of it.

However, when she packed up her schoolbag, walked out of the teaching building, and left the school, she still subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the school gate.

Besides the students leaving school, there was no one there, no blond uncle, and no black car that looked very luxurious.

Sure enough, it's a dream. That pervert can't become an uncle, and I can't go back to the past…

Yuna Kanno gave a somewhat self-deprecating bitter smile, and also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

However, in a place that even she herself might not have noticed, her inner depths were muttering with some regret.

"If that wasn't a dream, but reality, that would be great."
