“I’m… really, really sorry. There’s nothing wrong with you. I’m just a coward… That’s why…” “...At first, I was also determined to call off this marriage, no matter what.” Watanae-san’s expression softened as she started speaking. Then, she started to trace her finger on the fan mail she had in her hand, specifically on the sender’s name: 『The Grim Reaper in Love』. “For a very long time, I’ve considered 『The Grim Reaper in Love』to be a very important person to me, you know?” Watanae-san called my pen name tenderly, even though that was a name I made up during my chuunibyou phase. 【TLN: Chuunibyou, literally meaning ‘2nd-year middle school disease’, is when some teens consider themselves special, having superpowers and the like.

During those times,『The Grim Reaper in Love』 would always send me lots and lots of fan let...

“Sakata-kun… You’re the 『The Grim Reaper in Love』?! Ehh?!” Watanae-san looked shocked, and her body staggered backward. Seeing her exaggerated reaction, I knew I messed up. I know I said it on the spur of the moment, but I shouldn't have told her I was actually『The Grim Reaper in Love』. I’m not trying to brag or anything, but I do send a fair amount of fan letters to her. If a huge forum found out about this, they’d say stuff like, 「So disgusting lmao」, 「The Grim Reaper in Love lolol」, 「We should report him to the police」, and so on. Or it might be at a level even worse. As I was thinking about stuff like that, Watanae-san was silent and she had her hand on her chin. She occasionally made this “Hmm...” sound, which made me very nervous. Then, Watanae-san suddenly stood up… and bowed her head. “Although I may be incompetent… I, Watanae Yuuka, the voice actor for Izumi Yuuna, will do my best as your wife starting today. So, please treat me well!” “...Huh?” The situation was completel...

We continued talking for about an hour. I felt my throat getting dry, so I made some more tea and drank it all in one gulp. “Ooh. The way you drank that was incredible.” “No, it’s just because it’s been so long since I’ve talked this much.” Usually, I just talk to myself at home. At school, I keep all my conversations as short as possible. Well, except Masa. He talks to me non-stop at school. “This might be the first time I’ve ever had someone I could talk to so easily.” Watanae-san smiled bashfully as she retied her ponytail. Her defenseless gesture made my heart skip a beat. “Oh yeah, I want to see what your room looks like, Sakata-kun. I wanna see what kind of manga and stuff you have.” “No way.” I immediately made a big X with my hands. Going to my room is a bad idea. Even though I had lots of fun talking to her about our hobbies… I absolutely can’t bring her to my room. “Eeh?! Why not?” “It’s not something I can show to other people.” “It’s okay. I’m also an otaku. I understand th...

I sat down on a chair at my dining table. Watanae-san nervously fidgeted around, having nothing to do. On the other hand, Nayu had the nerve to just sit down arrogantly on a chair nearby. What the heck is going on? “U-umm, Watanae-san. For now, would you like some tea..?” “T-thank you…” “Ah, Nii-san. Make mine cold.” As requested, I started preparing 3 cups of barley tea. After that, I sat down in front of Watanae-san again. As I was drinking my tea, I happened to glance at her face. Looking at her now, I can see that her nose is well-defined, and she has large, bright eyes. Her face is quite beautiful, huh? I didn’t notice it before because she had her glasses on. Noticing my gaze on her, Watanae-san looked down bashfully and her face got red. “Ah... I-I’m sorry…” “N-no, I’m the one who should be apologizing…” “Tch. Thanks for showing me how innocent you two are.” “Shut up! Stop complaining and help me out here!” “Don’t wanna, it’s a pain in the ass.” What did she even come here for, ...
