Chapter 253: Marital decay


    Damn! Wh What are you saying?! Such a thing, I cant forgive you!!


    There werent many people in the cafe bar in the evening but still, a couple of guests were looking at something. The bartender was also surprised at first by the angry voice that suddenly raised and then looked annoyed.


    Dont be Noisy Calm down People around us are watching


    The man who screamed saw another man speaking in a calm voice and was about to raise his voice again but he confirmed his surroundings and finally endured. However, his temples were moving in an unsympathetic manner showing that he couldnt suppress the anger rising inside him. It was the same as in middle school days, but Kenichi was slowly rolling the ss in his hand while drowning.


    Lend Keiko! You can do that!!


    Even while excited, the volume of the voice was dropping and Shioya was ring. In the past, it would have been a bit tedious, but now it felt less scary than hair.


    So-so. Calm down It is up to Ogawa-san whether it is okay or not. She may refuse my invitation if she wants


    Sowhat are you thinking about inviting someone elses wife!


    Didnt I say that? Instead of me subrogation your debts you just have to tolerate me eating with Ogawa-san. Of course, Im not obsessed with Ogawa-san. I dont even know if its okay or not If its not good, Ill give up


    In contrast to Kenichi who continued to talk calmly, Shioya still didnt calm his anger. But on the other hand, he also understood that he couldnt refuse it.


    You know that I loved Ogawa since I was in middle school, right? I always wanted to date her from that time. Thats why I want to make that dreame true


    Drinking his Laphroaig on the rocks while listening to Kenichi speaking, Shioya gradually cooled down.


    Arent you thinking of putting out your hands on another mans wife?


    I havent thought about thatbut, do you think that it might be so? Do you think Ogawa will betray you?


    Thats right! Keiko is in love with me. She wont betray me!


    So it wont be a problem if Ogawa eats with me and I will instead pay your debt. Of course, I will pay even if Ogawa doesnt agree to it


    Is, Is that so? If Keiko refuses, will you pay?


    Yes, Ill pay. I wish I could even acquiesce to my invitation but never say this to Ogawa. If youre going to make a promise like this to me, Ill make sure you dont talk about it.


    I, I cant say that. I guess It seems like it was okay to lend him for debt.


    If Shioya kept calm and thought about it, it looked like an extremely convenient condition. Keiko didnt have a good rtionship with such an otaku because of the deep darkness surrounding him and she will never betray Shioya by any chance. Even if she epted the invitation, it will be just a meal. She just has to shut up and miss it. That alone would eliminate the borrowing book written by the yakuza.


    Butwhy do you make such a condition? Even if you keep silent on me, youll be able to lure me in


    Thats easy. I dont want you to mess with meter. If you dont know me, Ill invite you and Ogawa will be so poor, right? I dont want to see her hurt by you


    Shioyas anger gradually calmed down to Kenichis answer.


    So muchdid you like Keiko so much?


    Oh, of course. Ogawa is my first love. I would change everything for her If I can be with her a little, I will be so happy


    Kenichi, who sat on a quiet cafe-bar counter, smiled for the first time aftering to this store.


    Well then, dear I will go. I will try not to do that, but I will contact you if it seems to bete


    Ah, I understand


    Then, please


    Shioyas wife left the entrance of the home. Her appearance in the bright sun shone brightly in the backlight. They have been dating since middle school and it had been nearly 20 years but Shioya still thought her as beautiful when he saw her dressed this way.


    When we went through the corridors earlier there was a slight smell of colon. It should have been his wifes favorite and a special one. Seeing his wife doing makeup and dressing up in a good mood, Shioya feltplicated since the morning.


    Ke, Keiko


    What? Yes Yes, dont drink too much during the daytime Recently Im really increasing the amount of alcohol


    Shioya couldnt feel any cloudiness or confusion from his wifes expressions who answered as usual.


    He also wanted to say something but the door shut in front of him. His wife, who wore makeup and dressed up beautifully, went out without turning around. At that time, Shioya noticed, what was he trying to say?


    (I cant say, I love you so much)


    As they have been together for 20 years, he couldnt say such words. But today he wanted to confirm it and the words came to his throat. Still, Shioya couldnt say it in the end and just stood alone in the corridor.


    (She told a lie to me)


    The fact was stuck in his heart.


    Today is Sunday. A call from Kenichi, his former ssmate, announced that he would invite Keiko for a meal today. Then Keiko went out saying that she would go out shopping with her college friend on this day. Shioya didnt know if Kenichi seeded in inviting Keiko. However, if Keiko was okay with it, she would be lying. If so, why did Keiko go out lying to her husband?


    (Andso happy)


    Before going out, Keiko took a bath and carefully dressed. Because she spent more time than usual, she was clean even if she looked at herself. Watching his wife preparing while singing fast eroded his heart by a dark feeling. If it was for Midou-san, why would she enjoy it so much?


    (No wayno way Keiko)


    It was a fact that everyone in the ss knew that Kenichi favored Keiko since middle school. Moreover, Keiko hated that and she should have hated that man to the point where it could be splintered. That was why Shioya couldnt believe that Keiko was invited by this man and that she was even excited about it!


    (After all, she really was only meeting a former ssmate. But how much makeup does she need to wear to meet her friends? Taking a showerbut thats it)


    The spection called for distress and Shioyas mind became full of jealousy and suspicion. Confidence that this should not happen was eroded by ck doubts. It seemed that the bond between this couple, which had been built for 20 years, copsed as if being attacked by a strong acid.


    (Damnnn!!!)


    Shioya was running right now, chasing, and being driven by the urge to bring back Keiko home. Or he could even call or email her to ask where she was going. Despite the absolute confidence that had supported him until now, Shioya was stunned as he realized that the basis of it was too weak.


    Then he went to the kitchen with t steps, opened the refrigerator and took out a beer. It was still 2 oclock only. Shioya sat on the sofa lightly and feltpletely exhausted as he drowned in alcohol during Sunday daytime.


    (Itste! What is she doing!!!)


    Looking at the clock, it was around 11 oclock in the night. While sitting on the sofa in the living room, Shioya was annoyed with red eyes. There were empty beer cans on the living room table and floor and the new whiskey bottle was half empty as well.


    Because he drank without taking any food, he was drunk with alcohol. Still, he couldnt get drunkpletely because his wife had note back home yet.


    (What is Keiko thinking? Not sending a single email!!)


    He heard that she might bete, but he didnt expect it to be this much. Shioya got rid of the ss of whiskey without much help due to immense frustration.


    (Todaywith that guy)


    The front of Shioyas eyes turned red with jealousy and hate as he imagined Keiko alone with Kenichi. His wife was ying around with another man, leaving her husband alone until such time.


    (If it was such a thing, I wouldnt have agreed to his conditions)


    In exchange for a debt of 8 million yen, Shioya promised to admit that his wife was invited. He thought that his wife, who should love him, would refuse and wouldnt stay so long for the meal. It had been more than eight hours now and during that time no contact had been received from his wife or ssmates. In the meantime, Shioya was annoyed and suffering from ck doubts.


    (AaaaKeikoKeiko)


    And he knew it. He knew how much he loved his wife. They had been married for more than 10 years but her beauty was no different than in the past. Shioya had been fooling around with his wife but he has never been serious. It may be a selfish way of saying but his cheating partners were just for y.


    At that time his smartphone vibrated with a characteristic pattern. Shioya raised his face and took it from the table. He stared at the mail text written there.


    Sorry for beingte. Ill be back a littleter


    He felt a little relieved with that short and incoherent sentence. However, anger came out immediately and he sent back an email asking questions.


    Where are you? Its toote! Come back soon!


    Shioya sent this mail and waited for a reply but nothing came back even after waiting for a while. Then he sent it three times in a row, but there was no reply or even the notice that she had read it. Shioya was getting more and more frustrated.


    He drank up at a quicker pace for a while.


    And when the time to frustrate had passed, a light beep sounded to let him know the arrival of a mail. Shioya, who once again drank more whiskey, quickly took up the smartphone. But what was disyed there was not from his wife. It was from that old man who was his former ssmate and who used to be dark and dignified. Shioya read the text and his head became white at once.


    Thank you for the meal


    Asshoollleee!!!


    Screaming so loudly that it could be heard in the neighborhood, Shioya knocked down all the things ced on the table. The sound of broken ss shattering could be heard in the quiet room. He was driven by a ck impulse that couldnt be suppressed and he ran wild in the living room. His hands and feet were injured with ss fragments and blood flowed from there and turned red. Shioya was like a demon in the valley of hell.


    It was past twelve oclock in the middle of the night when Keiko returned home. The paper bag held with both hands was full of clothes bought with her female friends. Among them werent only clothes for herself but also presents for her husband.


    Im sorry Im sorry Imte


    When she said that and opened the front door, Keiko came in from the back and a shadow appeared. Of course, it was her husband, Shioya, but the situation was strange. His face was pale and his whole body was somehow bloody and the corridor also had blood marks.


    De, Dear! What are you doing!!?


    Shut uppp!! This fucking guuuuyyy!!!


    Suddenly, Shioya screamed, and she was scolded by the burn and sideways. Keiko who had a concussion for a moment shed blood from her nose and mouth and fell to the ground.


    Hiiiiiiii!!! Noooooo!!!


    What have you done up to now? Aaaa!!! This bastard!!!


    Keiko was made to get on all fours in the hallway, which was a few steps from the entrance, and was scolded many times. Consciousness jumped to the violence of her husband and she was lying in the hallway in a huddle.


    Were you done like this!! Where and what did you do!! Aaaaaa!!!!!!


    Tearing up the elegant two-piece forcefully, the stylishce underwear was also violently removed. Shioya breathed roughly while emitting the smell of alcohol and attacked his wifes body.


    Shioya got excited abnormally and rushed at his wife with the look of a demon. Since he prated into her vagina that wasnt wet at all, the genitals of both were torn and fresh blood flowed out from there. The good thing for Keiko was that she was almost unaware at this time. If her consciousness was clear, she would have been screaming from too much pain.


    UuUuuu!!


    The next morning when Shioya woke up, he was lying in the hallway. He was in a state of waste. The corridor and walls were full of blood. There were traces of crawling here and there and a number of paper bags were scattered and spit up the contents.


    Iiuuuuu!!!


    The pain in his hand was intense and his hands were swollen purple. When he looked closely, pieces of ss were also stuck in them.


    (Whatwhat happened?)


    He didnt rememberst nights events so he only shook his head to the left and right. His memory was missing because of alcohol and he tried to understand the situation desperately.


    (Ah! Ke, Keiko !!!)


    At that time, he remembered suddenly. He woke up because his wife came homete at midnight and violently attacked her. His head became simmering with jealousy and anger and just as he saw her, he knocked her down, surprising her. And then


    (Keikowhere is Keiko)


    He attacked her with his own desires and remembered somehow when he let go of her. Since there was no memory from there onwards, he thought that he hadpletely lost consciousness at that point.


    Keiko


    Shioya strongly regretted what he had done, but it is alreadyte. Even though he was drunk, he couldnt change what he did. He felt a sense of ckness as he looked for the figure of his loving wife wandering in the house.


    (Nothis)


    The corridor wasnt in great condition, but the living room was even worse. The well-organized room was messy, the centrally ced ss table was broken into pieces and pieces of ss were scattered throughout the room.


    HeyKeiko. Where are you


    Shioya searched all inside the house, but in the end, there was no Keiko.
