[Reducing Mosaic]JUL-551 Right now, I'm torn. My wife, who's like a demon, is right beside me, while the neighbor's wife is tempting me—. Harume Jun

With a monthly allowance of 20,000 yen, a curfew at 8 PM, and sharing household chores, I lead a somewhat harsh married life as what is known as a 'wife-fearing husband.' My only joy is the weekly drinking session at an izakaya. At home, I live by gauging my wife's mood. One day, after getting drunk, I seem to have passed out in the hallway of our apartment building... When I woke up, I found myself being taken care of in the home of Mr. Haruaki next door. Apparently, my wife's shouting can be heard next door as well, and Mr. Haruaki approached me with a pitying smile.
