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

He hadn't expected Yuna Kamino to not only contact him proactively but also seem to have a desire to meet him.

Although he spent the whole day with Yuna Kamino yesterday without doing anything particularly outrageous, Makoto Asano was actually quite aware.

He knew that just one dream and one date wouldn't be enough to reverse his reputation with Yuna Kamino.

And the system doesn't lie.

Despite Yuna Kamino's favorability towards him increasing by 30 points after yesterday's date, her overall favorability was still -10, so Yuna Kamino should still hate him very much.

Therefore, Makoto Asano suddenly realized something was wrong, and the surprised expression on his face disappeared.

After all, Yuna Kamino, whose favorability towards him is negative, can't even avoid him fast enough, so how could she possibly want to see him?

Something's not right, something's very wrong.

Could it be a trap?

Or did she suddenly figure things out and is preparing to confront him?

Could she have already called the police and is planning to trick him into turning himself in?

Just as Makoto Asano was suspiciously guessing why Yuna Kamino had contacted him proactively, his phone suddenly vibrated again.

He subconsciously looked down and saw the following written in Yuna Kamino's chat bubble on the left side of the phone screen.

——Why aren't you replying to me?

——I'm at Shin-Okubo Station right now, can you come over?

Seeing her second reply, Makoto Asano instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and even his feet, which had just stepped into the station, couldn't help but stop.

Chapter 43: Stockholm Syndrome?

Seems like there's no problem?

Makoto Asano put down his phone, raised his head, and glanced at the situation inside the station, finding it the same as before, with people coming and going, bustling about.

Most importantly, there weren't any people in police uniforms or plain clothes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

At this moment, he had reacted and realized that he was overthinking things.

He was still confused just now, after all, according to his observations during this period, Yuna Kamino's progress was very smooth, and logically speaking, she shouldn't directly do anything to him for the time being.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and the heart that was hanging in his throat was completely let down.

He picked up his phone again, replied to Yuna Kamino with "Coming soon, waiting at the drop-off point," and then stood in place for three or four minutes before entering the station and walking towards the agreed place.

It has to be said that gold is too conspicuous, before he even reached his destination, the corner of his eye caught sight of Yuna Kamino with her tea-gold hair standing next to the tracks.

At the same time, Yuna Kamino, who was looking around, also saw the conspicuous gold color on Makoto Asano's head.

Seeing Makoto Asano walking towards her, she subconsciously raised her foot to walk over there, but just for a moment, she stopped again.

If I just walk over like this, wouldn't it look like I really want to see that guy?

Hmph, I don't want to do that, that guy will definitely take an inch and want a mile!

Thinking of this, Yuna Kamino decided to stand here and wait for Makoto Asano to come over.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that she had arrived here very early today, and then hesitated whether to send Makoto Asano a message to meet him.

In fact, Yuna Kamino should have been studying at home all day today, after all, it's a rare weekend, and for her, a good student, it would be a waste not to use this time to study.

But for some reason, when she sat at her desk as usual to prepare for studying, she found that she couldn't study at all.

Asano Makoto's kiss when he left yesterday kept flashing in her mind.

Actually, she had been thinking about this since last night, and kept thinking about it until she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep at two o'clock in the morning.

She thought she would feel a little better after waking up, but that wasn't the case at all. Asano Makoto's kiss kept looping in her mind like a movie, making her unable to do anything else.

Therefore, she suddenly thought of seeing Asano Makoto and took the train directly to the place where they met last time, which is Shin-Okubo Station.

But when she really got here, she suddenly hesitated again, and didn't think about what to say if she really met Asano Makoto, so she waited until now before she made up her mind to send Asano Makoto a message.

Just as she was thinking about these messy things, Makoto Asano had already walked over.

Before Yuna Kamino could say anything, he teased with a mischievous smile: "What's wrong? Little Yuna, we just met yesterday, why do you want to see me again so soon?"

If it were the previous Yuna Kamino who heard these words, she might have refuted them very excitedly.

But for some reason, today she couldn't muster up such thoughts at all.

Even after taking a look at Makoto Asano's face, she suddenly blushed, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at Makoto Asano.

Seeing her reaction, Makoto Asano was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

He quickly opened Yuna Kamino's information panel and took a look.

No problem, her favorability is still -10, and her submissiveness has always been 15 points without any change.

Then her reaction...?

Unable to understand, Makoto Asano thought for a while but couldn't come up with an answer.

However, he had an idea in his heart.

He walked directly to Yuna Kamino's side, put his arm around her waist, and his hand began to become restless.

Then...

[Yuna Kamino's favorability +5.]

Hearing this prompt, Makoto Asano was startled, and even the hand that was stroking Yuna Kamino's waist trembled subconsciously.

Fortunately, Yuna Kamino didn't notice his strangeness, and still lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and even after being touched by him, Yuna Kamino's face became even redder.

Makoto Asano was directly silent.

This girl, could she have Stockholm syndrome?

Although Makoto Asano knew that people with problems in their original families are prone to various mental problems, he didn't expect to actually encounter one.

Of course, it may just be that he guessed wrong, maybe it's just because the favorability is too low, so it's very easy to increase.

But even if Yuna Kamino really has a problem, he doesn't have any good solutions.

And in some ways, this is actually a good thing for him... as long as she doesn't go to another extreme.

When her mission is completed, he'll take her to the hospital for a check-up.

Makoto Asano wasn't so bad that he couldn't do that. After making such a decision in his heart, he stopped dwelling on this matter and asked with a smile, "So, little Yuna, what did you suddenly call me over for?"

Hearing his question, Yuna Kamino finally reacted. After hesitating for a while, she asked in a low voice, "...That thing yesterday... that is, why did you suddenly..."

Her voice was really very small, and it was intermittent, and she didn't even finish speaking. If Makoto Asano hadn't been standing close enough and was a person involved, he might not have understood what Yuna Kamino was saying.

But even if he understood, he didn't know how to answer this question.

Because he didn't have any other thoughts when he kissed Yuna Kamino, he just wanted to complete the task.

But he can't say that now, although he hasn't been in love, he's not a fool.

So after thinking for a while, he chose an ambiguous answer: "Didn't I say it? That's the reward I should receive."

"The person who should receive the reward should be me, right..."

Hearing Yuna Kamino's estimation, Makoto Asano said with a smile: "Then consider it a reward from me to you."

Yuna Kamino showed a disgusted expression with a red face and said with a disgusted tone: "Who wants such a reward!"

However, Makoto Asano, who has a system, will naturally not be deceived by this appearance. Seeing that Yuna Kamino's favorability has not changed, he teased with a smile: "Is that so? I was very happy that little Yuna contacted me proactively today. I wanted to give you another reward."

"I don't want it... Okay, then I'll go back first."

Makoto Asano said with a sigh, as if he was really disappointed, then let go of Yuna Kamino's waist, turned around and pretended to leave here.

Looking at his back after he turned around, Yuna Kamino opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting whether she shouldn't have said that just now.

On the other side, Makoto Asano, who had turned around and started walking out of the station, was a little anxious in his heart when he saw that Yuna Kamino hadn't moved for a long time.

But just then, he suddenly felt his clothes being pulled, and at the same time, a voice came from behind him.

"Where are we going today..."

The voice was very weak, but Makoto Asano still heard it.

He slowly turned around, looked at Yuna Kamino who was blushing and lowered her head, not daring to look at him, and the corner of his mouth raised a mischievous smile: "Are you sure? This time the reward may be very rich."

Hearing this, Yuna Kamino was silent and didn't say anything.

But after a long time, Makoto Asano still heard the voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"Yes."

Chapter 44: Inquiring about Yuna Kamino's mental state

Makoto Asano didn't actually have any plans to take Yuna Kamino out to play at first.

His original plan was to go to the gym to exercise, and by the way, see if he could meet Yuka Konno and find an opportunity to increase her favorability a little bit.

But for some reason, except for the first time he went and met Yuka Konno, he hadn't met her for a while, and even Koichi Shida, who was a gym trainer, had disappeared several times.

And even if Koichi Shida was in the gym, he would immediately disappear in front of him every time he saw him, as if he was afraid of him.

Although Makoto Asano has Yuka Konno's contact information, he can't contact her either, after all, there is no legitimate reason, and rashly contacting her may arouse her suspicion.

So he can only go to the gym often to try his luck and see if he can meet her.

However, because of the sudden incident with Yuna Kamino, his plan for today changed like this, from going to the gym to exercise to taking Yuna Kamino out to play.

Even so, Makoto Asano couldn't think of where to take Yuna Kamino to play for a while.

Although he still has a task of taking photos of Yuna Kamino, and it's limited to weekends, and the time limit is only three weeks, but because the things he bought yesterday haven't been delivered yet, after thinking about it, he still gave up this plan.
