My Online Dating Partner Is a Government Official Who Handles Current Affairs

Tsukishima Yuu, a Saniwa with the codename Sakugetsu, another name for the new moon. After graduating, the government took notice of me because I had spiritual powers. After that, my life was like that of any other Honmaru Saniwa. I opened a new Honmaru, steadily completed missions, arranged expeditions, and went to every event in pursuit of new swords. My life originally had two possible paths. First, find a boyfriend in the modern world, fall in love naturally, get married, then retire when my term as a Saniwa ended. Second, find a boyfriend in the Honmaru, fall in love and get married just as naturally, then renew my contract when my term as a Saniwa ended. But now a third possibility, one I had never expected, has appeared. I’m in an online relationship with a government employee! Our relationship has gone smoothly, but there’s one thing that really troubles me. Senior Blue Diamond really doesn’t want to meet me... He’s even stingy with voice messages and photos. How can that be? Aren’t we dating? Because of this, my close attendant Hasebe has questioned him countless times, suspected he was running an online scam, and urged me to break up with him as soon as possible. But I really like my online boyfriend, so I just... can’t do it. Until one day, unable to stand it any longer, I started wondering if perhaps “Could it be that he’s too self-conscious or something, and that’s why he won’t share his personal information? Well, Senior Blue Diamond does seem pretty socially anxious most of the time. Maybe he’s too shy to meet me offline? That must be it, right? It’s okay! I understand. What an endearing senior!” After that. Out of the blue, he sent me a long voice message: “...What are you even going on about?” It was easy to hear the helplessness and irritation in his voice. Oh, he’s angry. Oh!! That voice! I’ve fallen in love all over again! But even after all that, he still doesn’t want to meet me. It’s really frustrating. Until one not particularly special afternoon. All right, it was pretty special. That was when I finally stood in front of the Sticker Exchange Shop, ready to redeem the Inspector I’d missed out on at an event for one reason or another, the one I’d been longing for... Suddenly, a hand reached in from beside me and stopped me. The owner of the hand was so flustered and exasperated that he couldn’t hide it. “Are you in such a hurry? You wouldn’t mind taking another me home?” ...Huh? A government employee, Blue Diamond... Chougi?! ＊Reader’s Guide 1. An extremely sweet story. The romance develops very quickly, so you might want to leave your brain at the door. 2. The blurb is a little misleading. The voice-message scene doesn’t appear in the actual story. 3. Some other sword boys have (very subtle) one-sided crushes on the heroine, but she’s focused on Chougi the whole time. The others never confess or cross the line. They’re just there to fill out the cast! Feel free to ignore their crushes or think of them as familial affection! Theme: Love means seeing the real you.
