Momose Shu

Akiha

The percentage of women having an unmarried life is estimated at 17.5%

As being a carefree person and didn't have any discomfort living life,

I've completely thought I belong to that 17.5%

However, now...

I am this guy's

wife.

In exchange for this marriage registration form,

Please lend me 5 million yen!

It's been two weeks since we've started living together.

And I gradually get used to it.

But it's still incomprehensible to me.

Why does he want such fake marriage?

That's because...

I have someone I love.

I want to get married to keep on loving her.

"Conceal my barren love", huh...

That's a very dead-on catchphrase.

Why a barren love?

What kind of person is the person he loves?

A married woman?!

That's also possible.

Surprisingly, that's also possible?

What kind of person is the person you love?

It's an unrequited love, right?

Have you confessed?

Don't worry!

I won't get weirded out no matter what kind of person she is.

Akiha-san.

Yes.

I've said that as we are living together, getting involved with each others' lifestyles is unavoidable.

However, we shouldn't interfere with each others' private affairs.

That's a basic rule.

It is.

Be sure not to snoop again in the future.

"Snoop", you say...

And stop visualizing it also.

Please lock the door when you leave.

He pisses me off.

That weird white asparagus!

Please come with me for a moment.

What are those?

My capsule toys.

It's my hobby to collect these.

Please clean them up asap.

Why?!

This is the common area.

Not an area to put your personal belongings.

But just a bit of them wouldn't hurt, would it?

Not to mention that it's soothing to look at them.

Soothing?

Yes.

Let's say the dog poops in an open space park.

What are you talking about?

The owner of the dog has been warned not to let his dog take a dump in it, yet he says

"Just let my dog do so. Not to mention it's soothing to look at it."

Are you convinced with that reason?

Don't lump my precious collection together with dog poop!

The point is, both situations make the common area dirty and give discomfort to the other person who is also using it.

And...

You call these your precious collection?

It easily comes off!

Anyway, please clean them up asap.

Messy stuff isn't my cup of tea.

As you wish.

Please be initiative in the future.

You're like a kid that won't take action without being told so.

Okado.

The meeting together with Ishida Publishing's illustrator won't seem to make it this Sunday. Will it be okay if it's just you?

No worries.

Reporting to work on a Sunday looks tough.

It's fine. I don't have any plans anyway.

Even though you're newlyweds?

You don't go on dates with your husband?

He's also busy with work.

Be careful.

An agent from a Spouse hunting party said that the common cause of divorce is growing apart from each other.

Really...

As expected, a wife must match herself up with her husband.

As long as it's for your beloved husband, doing that much isn't a problem, is it?

I don't love him, so I can't do that.

Not a problem at all.

As long as it's for attending Ryuji-kun's event,

I'll deeeeefinitely take a day off.

He won't notice you no matter how much you follow him, you know.

Don't worry, Okado.

Even if you're growing apart, it won't be a problem as long as you respect each other.

What's important for a married couple is to have respect for each other.

Oh, I said some nice stuff again.

To have respect for each other, huh...

For a normal married couple, yes.

But in our case...

I'm home.

Hey! That's so rude of you to clean them up as you please!

Didn't I tell you? Those are my precious---

- Okado-san.

Brother-in-law...

Welcome back!

I'm home.

You didn't inform me he'll be coming here?!

He came here unnoticed.

- Here. - Thanks.

Aki-chan.

Yes?

I don't know what happened between you two, but eat some bento and make it up with each other.

He brought it again.

Momo's Bento!

Digging in!

- This weekend? - Yeah.

Mom and Dad will go on a neighborhood association's excursion.

It's the same days of getting a bunch of orders in the shop.

Can you come to help out?

I'll have a meeting this Sunday, but I'm okay if it's on Saturday.

You're available only on Saturday, I see...

Aki-chan, got any plans this weekend?

Hmm...

Friday and Saturday are my days off this week.

Then, on Friday and Saturday! Please help us out in the shop!

Huh?

Perhaps, you got plans?

Ah... No... Not really...

I want to watch movies and be a couch potato.

If you'd like, stay over at our house.

That's annoying.

How does 20,000 yen for two days sound?

What?

I wish to pay you more, but we're tight on all sorts.

Really?! You'll pay me money?!

And it's 20,000 yen!

4.85 million yen

Debt Balance

Let me help you!

Really?!

Yes! I'll do anything I can.

- Hold on. - Why?!

Come here.

What's the matter?

What do you intend to do?

Intend what?

It's already risky to get yourself involved with my family.

How much more going to my family's house without me?

Brother-in-law is in trouble. I just can't leave him alone.

You agreed to help because of the money, didn't you?

You are really...

Don't you want me to repay my debt to you ASAP?!

Hey~ Are you guys fighting?

Not at all.

"It will be tough but do your best", he said.

Then, Aki-chan.

I'll be looking forward to working with you.

Me too!

Momose Akiha will work hard for 20,000 yen!

Only Just Married

About the art planetarium poster proposal that everyone submitted last month.

After discussing it with the client,

It's been decided to use Okado's work!

- Mine?! - Way to go, Okado!

- Congratulations! - Thank you!

It's a big event that more than 50,000 people will gather.

I'm counting on you.

I'll do my best!

Momose-san, wanna eat?

It's a high-quality loaf bread for 850 yen.

That's sure lavish.

It's a reward for myself.

I see.

Aren't you going to ask me, "Did something good happen?"

Like how normal one would do?

What's the point of asking?

It's been five years since I've started working at my current job.

As a designer, it's the first time that a big project has been assigned to me.

In the end, you're still telling me that.

Because I feel happy!

Many people will see the design I've been particular with.

I may be sound odd saying this, but...

I'm quite particular about designing fonts.

Matching the fonts to the ambiance of the work.

Racking my brain to make design from zero.

Are you listening?

I am not.

You sure are not interested in me talking about my work.

Today's the day that you'll help out at my brother's, right?

Yeah.

Here. Please memorize them all.

Anticipated Q&A workbook for the wife to use?

What's this?

Our married couple setting.

I wish to finish my work and go with you, but...

Until then, just in case my brother and his wife ask you about us,

Please answer them exactly what is written there.

"What do you like about Momose Shu?"

"He's reliable and financially stable."

This sounds like I married you for money.

It is a marriage for money, right?

By the way,

As for me, "What I like about you is you're good at cooking."

Haa?!

Since that's what I've also told them.

I'm counting on you.

Hold on.

Why did you tell them that?

Is there a problem with it?

I mean,

What's the point of doing this far?

I can make up my own excuses even without this.

You are going to a battlefield on your own.

Are you planning to board without weapons?

What?

Originally, we should practice coordination beforehand,

And I am supposed to introduce you to them after we've done preparations in a perfect condition.

So at least, take a weapon with you as much as possible.

Am I...

about to go on a battle?

You should feel that much nervousness is what I am saying.

Once our fake marriage will be found out...

You'll also get in trouble.

What do you mean?

Do you want Hatsue-san to know about it?

No!

I don't want to make grandma sad!

Then, please be careful not to be found out by my family about our fake marriage.

Okay.

I have a meeting this morning, so I'll go now.

Take care.

"How did you meet each other?"

"Masuda-san introduce me to him."

"How do you call Momose Shu?"

Thank you very much!

Sorry to make you help us despite your long-awaited days off.

Here.

Thank you.

I am currently...

on a battlefield by myself.

It must have surprised you to see such an antiquated house.

Not at all.

My family's house is more antiquated.

Sorry to make you wait!

She's so gorgeous!

My wife, Miharu.

Nice to meet you, I'm Miharu.

Thank you for coming here to help us!

I'm Akiha.

Thank you also for inviting me.

Momose-kun.

Take this.

Go with your wife. Enjoy~

- A ticket for a stage play? - Yep.

A reliable boss must give harmonious household support for the subordinate to concentrate well on his work.

That's what it means.

Hmm?

Weren't these the tickets that the person in charge of Amano Resort gave a while ago?

Shh!

This ticket is scheduled for tomorrow, right?

I've got plans for two days starting tomorrow.

Are you going on a trip or something?

I'm going to help out at my family's home.

Your family runs a bento shop, right?

Yes.

So you're going there to help out together with your wife?

My wife already went there before me.

Wonderful.

For a wife to go and help out at her husband's family's home.

She's such a good wife.

- Really? - That's right.

A wife usually hates going to her husband's family's home.

You should be thankful to your wife!

Thank you very much!

Alright!

Sorry to make you in charge here.

It's okay.

We are supposed to let you help out in the kitchen.

But there are quite of customers coming in, especially today.

Don't worry about it.

Thank goodness I'm in charge to look after the shop!

Reminds me... Your grandmother.

I heard she got hospitalized?

Yes. She was discharged after and is now running the eatery.

Please come and eat at her eatery next time!

- I might go with Asahi-kun then. - Please do!

Miharu-san, do you like clams?

Yes! I love it!

My grandma's sake-steamed clams are great!

I feel that people who don't know the greatness of her sake-steamed clams won't understand it in their whole life.

But doesn't Shu-kun dislike clams?

Especially the sake-steamed. It's not his cup of tea.

By any chance...

He had a change of heart?!

Y-Yes! That's right!

He overcame it recently.

Really~

So it's all thanks to marrying you, Akiha-chan.

Then I'll be in the kitchen, call me if something's up.

Okay~!

That was close!

I have to be careful not to be exposed.

Really...

So you are his fake marriage partner?

Momose-san proposed to me, too.

Stop messing with me!

W-Wait!

Geez! What's your problem?!

Coming all the way here, what's your game?!

I'm only going to buy a bento.

What?

My company is near in this area.

I work as a receptionist at Shudendo.

Mamiya Shoko is my name.

So Momose-san proposed to you who also works in the same company?

It's stupid to propose a fake marriage.

So as the person who accepted it, though.

I have my unavoidable circumstances.

He wants to get married to keep on loving her.

I can't sympathize with such a reason at all.

I also agree with you.

"She smiles like a sunflower."

Makes you laugh, doesn't it?

What?

It's the person that Momose-san loves.

I persistently asked him, and that's the only hint he gave me.

Really...

"She smiles like a sunflower."?

Please be careful not to get into a muddy love triangle.

Nah. Nah.

I'll never fall in love with that sarcastic, fastidious, and argumentative weird white asparagus.

Good for you then.

More importantly, I should keep your fake marriage a secret, right?

Huh?

Thank you for the deluxe bento~

Thank you very much...

The hush money for her is hella expensive!

Aki-chan!

Yes?

Can you come here for a moment?

Sure!

Preparing the ingredients?

There are not many customers coming now...

Miharu usually looks after the shop while she's in the kitchen.

I see...

Well then.

Could you cut the radish for the salad?

You see...

You cut it like this.

Ahhh~

I only have to cut them.

No. Not that, Aki-chan.

Not in chunks but in slices.

Ahhh~!

- Cut in slices! - Yes!

Huh?

Isn't there a piece of shell in it?

Ah.

Ahhh~!

No need for the shell!

A-Aki-chan...

Give a bit of touch of color...

Ahhh~!

No need for novelty, I see!

Really! Your husband's younger brother's wife came here to help out?

That's right!

She's such a reliable wife.

What? Really?!

I'm pretty good at it, huh?!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

- Miharu. - Yep?

Do you know what this is?

Oh, you have a social media account for your shop.

Yeah...

But I just created it, so I don't know how it works at all.

I'm also not good at using it.

Do you know how it works, Akiha-chan?

I do.

This is the tagged notification.

As you tap it, you can see photos of the accounts that tagged you on their posts.

- Really~ - I see!

Thank goodness you're here!

As expected from the reliable wife.

Not at all.

Then, I'll go shopping now.

Take care.

- Laters. - Laters.

This is an order, right?

Oh no...

Asahi-kun forgot to do an order.

Is this for the meat you'll use tomorrow?

Yeah.

Since we do the order from a butcher in the shopping district, I'll call them later.

Just put it there.

Let me do this!---

Please look after the shop for a moment!

Okay.

Please be initiative in the future.

Someone who won't take action without being told so is like a kid, after all.

Found it.

Omochi~

I'm glad you came here.

You went to your house before coming here?

Yeah.

I can't leave Omochi alone, and I've got some stuff to do at home.

I see.

Looks like he's not feeling well.

What?

Do you feel nervous staying in an unfamiliar place?

It's done!

Akiha-chan, can you set the dining table?

Sure~

Alright!

We got clams and chicken meatballs hotpot for tonight!

Clams?

I heard you overcame your dislike for clams.

That's...

As expected, it's the power of love.

Omg!

You're also a fan of Maruzuno-sensei, Miharu-san?!

I am! You too, Akiha-chan?

Yes!

I love the nostalgic and gentle world it creates.

It's my dream to design Maruzuno-sensei's book someday.

Then, when that time comes,

I'll definitely buy its first edition!

Thank you!

Reminds me, about Maruzuno-sensei's new book...

Hey~

Aren't you two forgetting our existence here?

- Sorry. - We got excited.

Include us in your conversation, too!

Right, Shu?

I'm good.

Brother-in-law, don't you read books?

I don't read books at all!

Just looking at the printed texts gives me a headache.

So Momose---

Shu-chan is the exact opposite of you.

Yeah.

Shu and Miharu sure loved books ever since they were in junior high.

Junior high?

Haven't you heard from him?

Shu and Miharu were classmates in junior high.

Really?

My parents always come home late, and I frequently go and buy bento here.

And that's how it developed your relationship with brother-in-law?

- Well, yeah. - Well, yeah.

More importantly,

I want to hear your story with Shu-kun.

What did you like about each other?

Good question.

Momose-san's Anticipated Q&A Workbook has come to use.

Let's have Shu answer it first.

What do you like about Aki-chan?

What I like about her...

"Is she's good at cooking," right~

She buys daifuku for me.

Really~

She's hopeless in tidying up and cooking, though.

Huh? Huh? What's happening?

Akiha-chan is kind.

Yeah. I feel like I understand it.

Why are you both taking in his reason?

Didn't you tell me cooking is my specialty?

She has a gentle face, after all.

Good. That's good. That'll be a good reputation.

You freaking deceived me?!

How about you, Akiha-chan?

Ah...

What do you like about Shu-kun?

That's...

He acts spoiled.

Really~

Shu-chan is reliable on the surface,

but he's really like a kid whenever he's at home.

He gets mad if I don't put on his socks.

Even brushing his teeth, I do it.

Really?!

- Shu-kun did?! - No, That's...

How should I put it---

Also, when I'm late coming home from work,

He sends me his selfies every 30 minutes.

"Come home quickly."

"I love you."

He sent those with stickers.

Last time...

He sent me a message saying, "I'm waiting for you, meow."

"I'm waiting for you, meow."?!

You also do purring, huh. Hey!

He also got jealous when I was petting Omochi.

And he even hissed at him.

Can you believe that?

He snuggles up like a cat to me wherever I go.

When I caress his tummy, he makes a feels-good expression.

Also, during my day off---

Thank you for the dinner.

Shu-kun?

He's embarrassed.

- What a cutie. - I know right.

Momose-san.

Are you perhaps angry?

I am not angry.

You hella do.

I am fed up.

How could you say such nonsense to them?

I'm sorry.

I got carried away.

Way too carried away.

Well, let it be!

They won't be suspicious about us being a fake married couple.

Everyone's having a good time.

I don't include in that "everyone", just to tell you.

For your information!

You shouldn't have deceived me.

I don't know if it's to make me work or whatnot, but

Saying such cooking is my specialty---

This is what normally happens...

When a married couple stays at the family's house, right...

If we do this,

We won't be concerned even sleeping next to each other.

Makes sense!

This somehow feels strange.

To think that we were strangers until quite recently.

Eating dinner with your family at home.

Sleeping alongside you like this.

Even I did not expect it.

So this is how a family's home feels like.

Both of my parents are out overseas.

And grandma is also running the eatery.

So I was always alone at our house.

That might be the reason I don't have any desire to get married.

I got too accustomed to being by myself.

That's why today felt new to me.

Setting the dining table for everyone.

Sharing one hotpot with everyone.

It's normal.

That's right.

It's a given.

But you don't experience such things when you're alone.

However,

You could experience...

normality in living together with someone.

It could be annoying at times, too.

My older brother is that sort of guy.

He's such a cheerful and pleasant to be with brother-in-law.

I somehow understand the reason...

why Miharu-san chose him.

Miharu-san is sure a wonderful woman.

If I were a guy, I'll definitely fall in love with her.

She's not only beautiful

but also friendly, kind...

She's also into books---

I may have drunk too much beer.

I'll go drink water.

Did he drink that much beer?

Can't sleep?

Yeah. Kind of.

We have to wake up at four in the morning tomorrow.

- Will you be okay? - Yeah.

Gonna stay here until I get sleepy too.

Just how much water did he drink?

Akiha-chan is such a nice girl, isn't she?

She's cheerful and honest.

She gets carried away sometimes, though.

I imagined lots of things about her until I met her today.

"What kind of woman Shu-kun chose?"

What?

You see,

You haven't ever told me about someone you like.

Really?

Never.

You haven't introduced your girlfriend to me even once.

I...

I feel really relieved.

I have a feeling that Akiha-chan will make you happy.

I can tell such things, you know.

Like, "These two are a perfect match." I can easily tell it.

I think it's called "Sixth sense"?

You don't believe me, do you?

It's true!

That sounds foolish.

I told you it's true!

Shu-kun.

Be unconditionally happy together with Akiha-chan.

As I expected, Omochi is looking strange.

He's been feeling down since last night.

He shows so little reaction even when I call him.

Are you listening to me?

Miharu!

What's the matter?

I've received 21 packs of ground meat.

21 packs?!

You didn't order this?

No.

I've called them, but they told me they have already received an order from us.

What? It wasn't you, Asahi-kun?

No... I certainly thought you did the order.

Umm...

I did the order.

You did?!

Yes.

Since it's written in the note here "ground meat 600g 7x3"

This...

This means the ratio of beef and pork is 7:3

What?

7:3 600g ground meat for Saboro* is the supposed order.

T/N: Saboro means ground meat, and it's a type of dish seasoned with Japanese seasonings; soy sauce, sake, mirin, etc. It's also a popular bento choice.

I'm sorry!

- I'll compensate it! - It's fine!

It's my fault for writing it confusingly.

Yeah...

I should have also called them to confirm it.

No, I did something uncalled-for.

Don't worry.

- The remaining meat could be used for another dish. - He's right.

Is there another dish you could use with this large quantity of meat?

That's...

I'll check the warehouse storage if we can do something about it.

Ahh... Y-You're right.

I'll be the one to do the rest.

That won't do.

Since it's my mistake.

You bring Omochi to the hospital, Akiha-san.

But---

What can you do here?

21 packs of ground beef are about 15,000 yen.

The average daily net income of this shop is approximately 20,000 yen.

Considering your part-time job fee here, this shop is completely in red.

Why did you do such a thing on your own accord without any confirmation?

Because...

You told me to be initia---

No need for excuses.

Don't cause problems to my family any further.

I was stupid to choose you.

I am indeed at fault.

But he doesn't have to say that.

To think he's the one who arbitrarily chose me.

Your owner

really pisses me off.

Momose Omochi-kun.

Yes.

Ohh.

Yes?

Miss who collapsed in the street!

"You're alive."

Ah!

The rice guy!

The total medicine fee and medical examination fee would be 3,300 yen.

Good thing Omochi-kun is not seriously ill.

Yeah.

Thanks.

So you do own a pet.

He's not mine.

But my husband's.

Really~

You're married.

I feel like quitting already though.

Why?

Did you fight?

Rather than fight...

I'm also at fault.

Completely denying my existence.

Forget it.

Thank you for your help.

Why don't you quit then?

Just get a divorce.

He's right.

Even though I'm doing the best that I can.

And yet, he doesn't see it at all.

That pessimistic guy.

I can't continue living together with him any longer.

About the money, I'll borrow to a money-lending,

so I can immediately divorce him.

I can't leave Omochi alone, and I've got some stuff to do at home.

Momose-san...

Urgent notice from Momo's Bento!!

Momo's Burger is on sale!

Sorry to keep you company with us.

Shu-kun, thank you.

Anyone can make mistakes.

Aki-chan was doing her best, after all.

I'll take my leave.

Momose-san.

What?

It's a waste for this such well-designed leaflet not to be seen by many people.

Looking at this leaflet...

I have come to understand your particularity in designing each font.

"I may be sound odd to say this, but..."

"I'm quite particular about designing fonts."

"Are you listening?"

"I am not."

So you were properly listening to me.

Starting at 11 am, Momo's Burger will be on sale in this place!

Please come and visit us!

Welcome back.

Thank you very much for today.

I was 7 minutes late for the meeting because of you.

I'm sorry.

But I was happy.

You said it was a well-designed leaflet.

If you'd like...

Do you want to have a wrap-up party for it?

As a celebration for Momo's Burger to have sold out.

I haven't slept since yesterday.

I'll go to bed early for tonight.

I see...

I'm glad it was you.

What?

Good night.

Just now...

Omochi.

I'm glad you feel better now.

You too.

Hmm?

Something good happened, right?

Not really.

It's almost my break time, so join me for lunch.

What?

A fake marriage?

This is about my friend.

That friend of yours was happy that she has recognized by that fake marriage husband?

That's because he always says mean things.

That guy suddenly...

That's what my friend told me.

Really~ A friend, huh.

Isn't she getting a bit serious?

Serious?

About her husband.

Which means, she has fallen in love with him.

What?

No, no, no, no!

Hell no!

Yeah sure, I feel happy he praised me.

But it doesn't mean I like him.

A new announcement from Momo's Bento!!!

Because of the popularity, starting tomorrow...

Our new menu, Momo's Burger will be on sale!

We will deliver it to you with our bestest smile!

Smile...

Sunflower...

Sunflower?!

"She smiles like a sunflower."

Makes you laugh, doesn't it?

Don't tell me...!

What is it?

Ah, you see...

By any chance...

The person you love...

is Miharu-san?

A-Ah, I'm sorry!

For saying weird stuff...

That's right.

What?

The person I love is Miharu.

I've thought that if I tell you that,

You might spill the beans, so I stayed silent about it.

I got into a fake marriage

Barren love...

So that's what he meant about it.

Hmm?

What?

What is this feeling?

It's hard to convey what I feel

Theme song: Heart by Aimyon

The closer you are

Somehow, the more my chest hurts

Unable to sleep on sleepy nights

Waiting for your unpredictable return

I am here

Expectations every time we're together

As I'm close to you, waiting for "someday"

Soft hours

Scrutinize ideals and being laughed at

Slightly pounding at my end

The future cries

I hate goodbyes

Am I being selfish?

If I could only

If I could only steal your heart

Through warmth that could withstand cold

I will warm you up

Although I've never had romance that I can brag about

I have you

I make you angry occasionally

Indecisively crying

I'm a genius that gives you trouble, aren't I?

But since we are tied together

A beginning of love is also possible

I'm thinking about you today, too

Through warmth that could withstand cold

I will warm you up

I don't have most of confidence in love

But this eyes of mine don't lie

I want you to realize

This must be the beginning of love

Ahh~ This must be the beginning of love
