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

At this moment, Eriko Miyajima was sitting on her bed, her long, flaxen hair somewhat disheveled behind her, a few strands sticking to her forehead due to sweat.

Perhaps because of her illness, her beautiful and delicate face had an unusual flush, yet faintly revealing a hint of paleness.

Her lips were incredibly dry and devoid of any color.

Normally, this kind of alternating red and white complexion wouldn't be very attractive.

However, on her, it gave off an aura of fragile beauty.

Originally, Makoto Asano subconsciously felt a little angry at Eriko Miyajima for not taking care of herself.

But after seeing her current fragile appearance, he felt nothing but heartache.

"Alright, Eriko, don't talk for now, lie down."

He slowly walked to the bedside, gently helping Eriko Miyajima to lie down again, and said with a tone of concern and reproach, "How did you let this happen to you?"

While saying this, Makoto Asano felt a little guilty.

Because he suspected that it might be because he used Lilith's ability that caused Eriko Miyajima to suddenly fall ill.

It could be said that his suspicion was somewhat accurate.

Because although it wasn't a direct cause, Lilith's ability to transfer the feeling from the dream to reality was indeed one of the indirect causes of Eriko Miyajima's illness.

At four o'clock in the morning, Eriko Miyajima had woken up once.

Covered in cold sweat, she sat up directly from the bed the moment she opened her eyes.

At that time, the sheets beneath her were already soaked, and she didn't know if it was sweat or some other strange substance.

It was also at this moment that she suddenly noticed a strange feeling in her body.

Hot, tired, and also...

Thinking of this, Eriko Miyajima seemed to realize something and immediately looked down at her body.

Then, seeing the soaked sheets, her cheeks flushed instantly.

She remembered, she remembered her lovemaking with Makoto Asano in her dream last night, and her wanton acceptance under him.

The moment these memories awakened, Eriko Miyajima suddenly felt overwhelmed with shame.

She subconsciously raised her hands to cover her face, feeling a heat that seemed to scald her palms.

"I..."

In a slightly hoarse murmur, she recalled some more detailed things.

She had a dream.

In that dream, she and Makoto Asano became friends and spent a year together uneventfully.

Then, after an ordinary dinner one day.

Makoto Asano confessed to her.

And she accepted.

Thinking of this, Eriko Miyajima couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but her heart was filled with a sweet feeling.

But the next second, the redness on her face suddenly faded in an instant, and a feeling of guilt filled her heart.

She suddenly realized that she had completely forgotten that she had a boyfriend, and instead immersed herself in a sweet romance with Makoto Asano.

At this moment, she only felt very sorry for Yuta Yamada, and the guilt and regret in her heart became even stronger.

Because she cheated, even if it was in a dream.

The moment she understood this fact, Eriko Miyajima's face became even paler, and even her lips lost their color.

But soon, she broke free from the feeling of guilt.

Then fell into deep entanglement.

She had to come up with a solution to this problem as soon as possible.

She was thinking, should she deliberately alienate Makoto Asano and stay away from him, like last time?

But in less than two seconds, she directly denied this method.

Because it was the same last time.

It was clearly her own problem, clearly she didn't keep her bottom line.

And it was still in a dream, a dream that had no reference value at all.

But she very sensitively misunderstood Asano-kun, and then alienated him on her own, and finally made the two of them drift apart.

After experiencing the last incident, especially after having a "date" with Makoto Asano, Eriko Miyajima really didn't want to lose Makoto Asano as a friend again.

Therefore, perhaps even she herself didn't realize that she was looking for excuses for the mistakes she made in this dream in her heart.

And she really found it.

The reason why she agreed to Asano-kun's confession in the dream this time was entirely because Yuta Yamada in the dream had passed away, and it had been more than a year since he passed away.

So she was alone in the dream, and it was okay to accept someone else's confession, which was completely reasonable and normal behavior.

After all, Asano-kun was so gentle and considerate to her, and he also respected her very much.

He was such a kind and excellent good person, so it should be normal for her to fall in love with such an excellent him, right?

But all of this was based on the premise that Yuta had passed away.

Otherwise, she would never have agreed to him.

If she hadn't lost Yuta Yamada in the dream, then she would never have accepted Asano-kun's confession, and even... even...

Thinking of this, Eriko Miyajima's face flushed again.

She had successfully convinced herself, and was very confident that if it was the real her, she could definitely keep her bottom line and would not make mistakes like in the dream again.

After all, when Makoto Asano confessed, she subconsciously rejected him because she remembered Yuta Yamada.

Thinking of this, Eriko Miyajima got the solution to this problem.

That was to ignore everything and get along with Makoto Asano as usual.

Anyway, Asano-kun wouldn't do anything to her, and she wouldn't make mistakes again, so what's the need to care?

After figuring this out, she lay back on the bed.

In fact, if she was in a normal state, she would definitely change to a new bed sheet first, or even take a shower before going to sleep.

But she was too tired now.

She couldn't understand why the fireworks and romance that happened in the dream made her so tired in reality because she was too comfortable.

Therefore, she didn't even get up to wipe the sweat off her body before going to sleep.

She wasn't someone who didn't have common sense, she knew that it was best not to blow cold air after sweating.

But because her body was too hot, she still turned on the air conditioner, thinking of cooling her body down a little before turning it off.

But in the comfortable and cool breeze of the air conditioner, the tired her couldn't help but fall asleep directly, and then blew the air conditioner all night long.

Sweating all over without wiping it off, sleeping on wet sheets, and blowing the air conditioner all night, it would be a miracle if she didn't catch a cold.

Therefore, she slept even longer because she was sick.

It wasn't until 10:30 in the morning, after Makoto Asano's three phone calls, that she woke up leisurely.

At this time, she realized that her physical condition was not right, and then she turned off the air conditioner.

As for the other person in the family, Yuta Yamada?

Because Eriko Miyajima was sick and didn't get up, she naturally didn't call him, so he inevitably got up late.

And when he realized that he was about to be late after getting up, he couldn't help but complain about Eriko Miyajima in his heart, complaining that she didn't wake him up today, causing him to be late.

But he didn't think about why Eriko Miyajima didn't get up, and he didn't care what was going on in Eriko Miyajima's guest room with the door closed, but went straight to work.

Under Eriko Miyajima's explanation, Makoto Asano probably understood the reason for her illness.

Of course, Eriko Miyajima didn't mention the strangeness of her body when she woke up in the middle of the night, let alone the dream she had last night.

She simply explained her situation.

Because it was too hot, she woke up in the early morning, but accidentally fell asleep with the air conditioner on, and finally got sick.

Although surprised that a virtuous girl like Eriko would have such a confused moment, Makoto Asano didn't think much about it.

He just asked a question that he was very interested in.

"Where's Yuta-kun? I didn't see him at home, did he go to work?"

Logically speaking, Eriko Miyajima is sick, and Yuta Yamada should take a leave of absence to take care of his girlfriend even if he is busy, right?

As a result, Makoto Asano didn't see him when he just came over, but only saw two indoor shoes placed in a mess at the entrance.

"Uh..."

Hearing Makoto Asano's question, Eriko Miyajima also felt a little embarrassed.

On the one hand, it was because she didn't know where Yuta Yamada had gone.

After all, she slept from the early morning until now, and no one woke her up, so she naturally knew nothing about what happened at home.

On the other hand, it was because if Yuta Yamada really left her alone and went to work, then Makoto Asano would definitely pick on this matter and say that Yuta Yamada was wrong, just like before.

Although she was happy about Makoto Asano's concern and his ability to stand up for her, and she did feel a little dissatisfied with Yuta Yamada's neglect in her heart.

But Eriko Miyajima was Yuta Yamada's girlfriend after all, and she always had to maintain her boyfriend's face in front of Makoto Asano, an "outsider".

Because this was her responsibility.

And even if she didn't care about this matter, and let Makoto Asano, who was her friend, say bad things about her boyfriend for the sake of caring about her, the one who would feel difficult and embarrassed in the end would only be herself.
