"No, that's not the issue, right? Any normal person would know that it's useless," Ryuto bluntly retorted.

"Well, as darling said, although everyone knows, it doesn't mean everyone would refuse, in the end, it's completely different things,"

"What do you mean?"

"Huh? Whether darling truly doesn't know or pretends not to know, I am Drebelin's most popular idol!"

"Well, I do know that... Wait, is there a connection between these two?"

Ryuto asked calmly.

"Of course there is a connection. If someone else were to make such a request to others, others should, well, definitely hesitate but comply, although they won't actually do it."

"Huh? Why? They should all know this..."

"Ugh..."

Miyuki could only sigh helplessly.

"darling is only slow in times like these... Although they know it's fake, they would still comply, after all... Who would refuse when the meat is right in front of them? Especially if it's a beauty."

This person is too self-absorbed...

"...Knowing and still doing it, those people are abnormal, right? By the way, is it really okay to praise yourself so bluntly?"

Although tempted to ignore, Ryuto couldn't help but retort.

"It's really annoying, clearly having a breathtakingly beautiful wife, but the husband lacks this self-awareness."

With a resigned expression, Miyuki shook her head.

"Hey, don't bring up things that don't even exist."

"Ugh... Sometimes one really has to suspect darling's sexual orientation issues."

"What the heck? I'm definitely not gay."

Ryuto declared loudly.

"Well, darling must know that, so that's why it's more confusing. Facing a beauty like me and remaining indifferent, from a certain perspective, that actually is a special talent, after all... Not everyone can be like that, well, basically no one would be."

"Hey, hey, this doesn't sound like a compliment, it makes it seem like I'm a weirdo."

Although Ryuto said so, Miyuki didn't seem to pay much attention, just smiled thoughtfully.

"Well, maybe because you're not like other people, that's why someone might helplessly fall in love, but then again... if darling were just as shallow as other men, it wouldn't be so difficult... Is that a good thing or a bad thing? It's really contradictory."

There was a subtle difference in tone compared to before.

"...I don't quite understand, but it feels like you're belittling me..."

Miyuki just blinked her eyes with a smile on her face.

"No, without a doubt, it's praise!"

"..."

"Well, anyway, if darling is unwilling to try this treatment method, it's okay, there are other methods after all."

"Huh? There are?"

"Oh, certainly."

"Then..."

"So..."

As she spoke, the face moved closer again, no, even closer this time.

"Hey, hey, isn't this the same as before?"

"Of course not, it has changed. This time, it's right here," replied Miyuki, pointing to her lips.

"..."

"Come on, darling, hurry. Ordinary people are just dreaming when they fantasize!"

"Hey, the more you bargain, the higher the price gets."

Ignoring whether Ryuto wanted it or not, Miyuki forcefully brought her face close.

"Hey..."

Ryuto could only turn his face away, trying to lean his body back as much as possible.

By the way, isn't this like practicing backflips after all?
